After Xiong Ye left, Zhou Ji looked at the fish.
He was still in college when the end of the world came.
His parents were both engaged in scientific research and could not take care of the family, so his family hired a nanny. Before he went to college, he had hardly ever been to the kitchen, and after he went to college, he had no chance to go to the kitchen. When the end of the world came, he did learn how to cook, but he could only put everything together and cook it.
Now this fish...
Zhou Ji thought about it and decided to use the simplest method and just boil it in water.
However, it seems that the fish needs to be fried in oil? Add some scallion sauce or something to get rid of the fishy smell?
He hadn’t found the onion and ginger yet, and as for the oil…
There was fat in the meat hanging from the bear, but Zhou Ji was afraid that the oil would have a bad smell, so it was useless. Fortunately, when he was wandering outside, he collected plants containing vegetable oils and spent some effort to make some oil. Some vegetables were not delicious when eaten raw, so he would stir-fry them, or blanch them in water and then add a little oil to make a cold dish.
After washing the pot, Zhou Ji poured oil into it, and just as he was done, Xiong Ye came.
Xiong Ye brought up a lot of firewood and a bucket of water... Zhou Ji said, "Wash the fish and put it in the pot."
"Okay!" Kumano responded, pulled off the fish head, washed the fish and threw it into the pot. The snake was a little long to fit in, so he tore it into pieces and threw them into the pot together.
Zhou Ji watched without changing his expression. After the oil in the pan finally calmed down after frying for a while due to water entering it, he tried to turn the fish over with chopsticks, and then he found that the fish was stuck to the pan.
The stone pot, or the stone pot that is not smooth enough, is not very useful.
"What is this?" Kumano asked, pointing at the oil in the pot.
"Oil." Zhou Ji said.
"Why is the oil like this?" Kumano was surprised. Shouldn't the oil be in white chunks? How did Zhou Ji become like this?
Xiong Ye stood aside and looked at Zhou Ji, not daring to move, feeling that he knew too little.
"You can make oil like this by putting fat into an empty pot." Zhou Ji said. Seeing that the fish in the pot was about to break into pieces due to sticking to the pot, he poured some water into the pot without changing his expression.
The stone pot conducts heat slowly, and it took a long time for the water in the pot to boil. Zhou Ji added some salt.
However, he did not add any vegetables, so as not to expose his special ability. He also did not prepare any vegetables in advance, so it was better not to add any.
What's more, he didn't know what vegetables to add to the fish...
"It's time to eat." Zhou Ji said.
"You eat first, and I'll eat if you can't finish it," Kumano said, taking a sip of the rich aroma of the fish soup in front of him.
This fish is so delicious! The milky white soup looks clean.
Zhou Ji did not refuse, he took out his chopsticks and picked up some fish and snake meat, saying, "That's enough for me."
"So this is how you use these two small sticks?" After seeing Zhou Ji's actions, Kumano imitated Zhou Ji and clumsily used chopsticks to eat fish.
When he was a child, he ate fish raw at first, and later he learned to grill it. However, grilled fish did not taste good - the fish meat was particularly easy to burn!
Now this fish…After Kumano tasted it, his eyes lit up.
This fish is really delicious and has no fishy smell at all!
Kumano chewed and chewed, eating the fish with the bones, and only spat out some larger bones.
Zhou Ji, who carefully spat out all the small bones, said: "..."
"I didn't expect the food you cooked was so delicious!" Kumano finished eating the fish and the soup, and looked at Zhou Ji with admiration.
Zhou Ji really didn’t think that the fish he cooked was delicious. Of course, the fish was indeed better than dinosaur meat. After all, it was very tender.
But seeing Kumano enjoying his meal, he was in a good mood too.
Feeding is a pleasant thing.
After eating, Xiongye took the initiative to clean the cave and took the stone pot outside the cave to wash it. Zhou Ji was so small that he might not even be able to lift the stone pot, so how could he let Zhou Ji wash it?
After washing, Xiong Ye generously cut off half of the pickled ridgeback dragon meat and gave it to Zhou Ji: "This meat is for you!"
Zhou Ji thought about it and accepted it. Then he saw Kumano take down the roasted pentagonal dragon meat that he had not finished eating yesterday and start eating it directly.
Zhou Ji: “…” What a big appetite!
However, he himself has a big appetite and has to eat a lot every day recently to feel full. Of course, if he chooses to eat plants that are high in energy, he can eat less.
"Why...are you willing to let me live with you?" Zhou Ji suddenly asked.
Xiong Ye was stunned for a moment, then said, "My place is empty anyway." He was actually a little impulsive when he invited Zhou Ji today.
The smell of wolf voice on Shi Li made him feel uncomfortable, but the sight of Zhou Ji standing alone made him feel that the two were very similar.
Shi Li lived with others, so he simply invited Zhou Ji.
"But if I find a partner, you will have to move out." Xiong Ye added: "But I probably won't be looking for a partner for the time being."
"Yeah." Zhou Ji responded.
At this time, Kumano asked again: "How did you hang up your curtain?" It was not until this moment that he noticed that there was a curtain made of animal skin hanging in front of Zhou Ji's bed... Kumano asked while looking over curiously, and then he saw that there was a hole in the stone wall above the cave, through which a rope could be tied.
"I drilled two holes on it to tie the ropes." Zhou Ji said. His words became much smoother and no longer sounded weird like at the beginning.
"It took you a lot of effort to drill the hole, right? Are you tired? Go to bed early." Kumano said.
After sleeping for the whole afternoon, Zhou Ji nodded and went to his "room" to sleep.
Kumano also lay down in his cave.
After another busy day, he was very tired, but after lying down, he thought of Shi Li again, and then he couldn't fall asleep - Shi Li must be with Lang Yin now...
A pleasant fragrance wafted through, and Kumano suddenly felt sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.
Zhou Ji observed Kumano's condition and then fell asleep.
The next day was the day for the tribe to hunt and gather together, but it rained.
If it rains, the collection team usually does not go out. After all, the people in the collection team are all the elderly, the weak and children, and they are prone to getting sick if they get caught in the rain.
When Xiong Ye got up, there was no movement from Zhou Ji's side, so he should not have gotten up yet. He did not want to wake him up and went out alone.
After the fight with Shi Li, Xiong Ye was in a very bad condition and not in good spirits, but after eating a lot and sleeping well in the past two days, he became energetic and very enthusiastic about hunting. After arriving at the valley, he began to discuss hunting with others.
Seeing this, Shi Li felt inexplicably irritated.
He thought Kumano would be very sad, but he didn't expect Kumano to be not affected at all...
Also, Zhou Ji actually moved in with Kumano!
Although it has been a long time, he still remembers that Kumano's cave was well decorated and beautiful, and he was very happy when he first moved there. Later, some people in the tribe felt that he was relying on Kumano in everything, so he got angry.
But he wasn't angry for long. Half a year later, he became the chief of the tribe.
"Kumano." Shi Li walked towards Kumano.
"Is there anything wrong?" Kumano asked.
"Let's go together later." Shi Li said. In the past, they always went hunting together.
"No need, I'll go with Hu Yue." Xiong Ye refused without thinking. Although he cooperated better with Shi Li, he didn't want to be with Shi Li now.
"Even if we don't become partners anymore, you don't have to be like this!" Shi Li frowned, very dissatisfied with Xiong Ye's alienation.
"Why are we hunting together if we're not partners anymore?" Kumano asked, going straight to look for Toratsuki.
Shi Li could only turn around and look for Lang Yin.
Langyin rolled his eyes upon seeing this. She used to think that Shi Li was very strong and good-looking, and was very suitable to be the father of her child, so she liked Shi Li very much. But now... Shi Li was very cold to her. He only knew how to sleep in her house and ate all his food. She had some opinions about Shi Li.
After she has a child, it would be better for her to kick Shi Li out, so that this man would not only not help her raise the child but also cause trouble!
For this hunt, Xiong He divided the hunting team into three groups and hunted separately.
Kumano and Totsuki took the initiative to group together. In the end, one group ambushed while the other group drove away the prey, and they got a good harvest.
However, the other two groups did not catch much prey. At the end of the day, all the prey caught by the hunting team combined was not as heavy as the pentacron caught the day before.
The amount of meat everyone gets today will definitely not be much.
Everyone returned to the tribe in a mighty procession, and then divided the meat as usual.
Shi Li took his share of the meat, ate half, and took the remaining half to Lang Yin's cave - these days, except for the hunting he had to participate in, he basically did not go out and had been practicing at home.
Losing to Kumano in the previous fight was a great humiliation for him, and he urgently wanted to become stronger and defeat Kumano!
As soon as the food was in hand, Shi Li ate half of it. But Lang Yin was different. She only ate a quarter of it.
The orcs in the tribe basically have the habit of storing food, not to mention that Lang Yin has a small appetite and doesn't eat much.
"Lang Yin, we don't have enough food." Seeing this, Yang Ying immediately walked towards Lang Yin.
Yang Ying and Yang Su often went hungry in their early years, but in the past two years, Shi Li joined the hunting team. After they joined the tribe, they never went hungry again, and they even ate very well - not only did their family have food distributed by the tribe, but when the hunting team did not go hunting, Xiongye and Shi Li would also go hunting!
They had always been well fed and well watered, and hadn't been hungry for a long time. But at this time, Shi Li ran away to live with Lang Yin. Not only were they not given the food allocated to them, but they were not even given any extra prey!
The pentacron from the day before yesterday was very big, and they got a lot of meat. Actually, they were not starving now, but seeing Shi Li's behavior... Yang Ying became anxious.
"What does the fact that you don't have enough food have to do with me?" Lang Yin said without thinking.
"I am Shi Li's mother!" Yang Ying said.
"Then go ask Shi Li for it." Lang Yin took his meat and left.
Shi Li's mother, why do you ask her for meat? Even if she had any extra flesh, she would only give it to her parents.
Of course, her parents don't need her care now.
Yang Ying was blocked by Lang Yin's words and was a little angry.
In the past, Kumano would give them some meat without her asking, so why is Langyin doing this now?
Yang Ying suddenly felt a little regretful.
She felt that Kumano was not very good to her, which was why she didn't want Shi Li to move out and be with Kumano, but now... Kumano is obviously much better than Langyin!
Xiong Ye saw what happened between Yang Ying and Lang Yin, but he didn't care.
Whether it is Lang Yin or Yang Ying, it has nothing to do with him.
Xiong Ye roasted his own meat, took a little bit of meat belonging to Zhou Ji from Xiong He, and returned to the cave.
When the meat was being distributed, Zhou Ji didn't come to take the meat!
After living with Zhou Ji yesterday, Xiong Ye felt that Zhou Ji was a nice person, but it was really not good for Zhou Ji to be sociable. He needed to change!
Thinking of this, Xiong Ye quickened his pace to climb up. As a result, just as he climbed to the entrance of his cave, he smelled a fragrance again...
