Chapter 128: Eat a Full Meal
On the way back to the camp, Zhou Xu talked to Zhuang Mengdie about the glue as they walked.
He had some ideas about glue. He knew that the gelatinous substances on animals could be used as adhesives, and he also knew that egg white could be used as adhesives, but he was not really sure how to make them specifically.
Unless you are a professional in this field, who would have the time to study this? It has little to do with your daily life.
In this case, if research and development is really necessary, it is inevitable to spend time on trial and error.
Judging from his own panel, his intelligence limit is also four stars. Let him try it, and he will probably be able to figure it out if he tests it slowly.
But as the leader of this tribe, he has so many things to take care of, how can he devote so much energy to this tedious test? Under this premise, the equipment department has not yet made a detailed division. All equipment, big and small, in the camp is basically under the responsibility of the equipment department, and then consider the capacity issue.
In this way, although Zhuang Mengdie has a very heavy workload, she is indeed the most suitable candidate at the moment.
Zhou Xu, who arranged this matter, undoubtedly had his own things to do, and he also had to take time to visit the construction team to check on the situation.
Although the construction team had successfully built a house once, that experience was far from rich.
At the same time, Zhou Xu paid close attention to the project and provided guidance, which avoided a lot of unnecessary trouble.
At this stage, it may be a bit difficult for the construction team to fully take charge.
A day passed quietly, and people in the camp started to make fire and cook. Zhou Xu also did something fancy for himself. He brushed a layer of oil on the pot, then cracked an egg into the pot. He listened to the sizzling sound with an intoxicated look on his face.
Although boiled eggs are more nutritious, poached eggs are more fragrant! During this process, the cooks in charge of cooking were watching their leader's operation very seriously.
The current wave of events was not just a trick on his part.
As the food in the camp gradually became more abundant, the daily meals of their tribal members also became richer.
Naturally, Zhou Xu also planned to add some dishes for everyone.
After frying a poached egg fairly skillfully, he poured some more oil into the pan.
These oils were extracted from animal fats by Zhou Xu using the method of boiling lard.
After pouring the oil, he simply made some stir-fried seasonal vegetables and a vegetable soup.
At this point, some people may wonder, isn’t fish soup better than vegetable soup? Don’t ask, because if you ask, you’re just tired of drinking it.
Although his tribesmen were used to living a hard life, they did not dislike food.
But if you eat too much, you will definitely feel sick of it.
Nowadays, changing the diet, combining meat and vegetables, and improving nutrition is undoubtedly a good choice.
The meal was served and the tribal members, one by one, held their bowls and plates and began to line up to get their meals.
Nowadays, the standard dinner in their tribe basically consists of three baked potatoes, a piece of grilled fish, some stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and finally a bowl of vegetable soup.
This configuration, in this era, can be considered luxurious, not to mention compared with other tribes, even compared with Wang Luchong who is also a time traveler.
Because even if Wang Luchong had raised chickens to a certain scale before, he didn't have the ability to feed nearly 200 tribe members meat every meal! But Zhou Xu was different. He had a freshwater lake with rich fish resources behind him, which was equivalent to owning a natural fish farm.
In fact, the fish consumption of their tribe has actually decreased.
Before, every meal for the tribe members consisted of half a grilled fish and a bowl of fish soup.
But now half a grilled fish has become a whole grilled fish, and they now directly cut the whole fish into pieces for distribution.
Basically, a fish can be cut into at least six pieces. Originally, a fish was only enough for two people, but now it can be shared by six people.
It’s not that Zhou Xu is stingy, but the dishes in their tribal kitchen have become richer.
If the amount of grilled fish is not reduced, their kitchen will have to add roasted potatoes, stir-fried vegetables and stewed vegetable soup on top of the original grilled fish, and it is very likely that they will be overwhelmed.
Under this premise, if the amount of fish to be grilled is greatly reduced, they will have spare energy to make other dishes.
The tribal members had no objection to this change, and many even said that this combination was better.
On the one hand, they can taste more dishes, which can satisfy their mouths better, and on the other hand, they can eat more! This feeling of fullness is undoubtedly due to the baked potatoes in the set meal.
After having potatoes, a crop that could serve as a staple food, his tribe finally had enough food to eat.
After dinner, Zhou Xu patted his stomach with a satisfied look on his face.
Unlike before when his belly was sunken due to hunger and he could only rely on drinking water to fill his stomach, now one can vaguely see the outline of his abdominal muscles.
This is not dead muscle gained by eating protein powder at the gym, but is the result of serious work.
Not only him, but the entire tribe has now clearly gotten rid of the skinny state, and their physiques are gradually becoming fuller.
This made Zhou Xu start to think...
[Is it about time for me to start training? 】
If you want to develop, military strength is a very important part.
Without a strong enough military force, no matter how well you develop, you will be just a piece of meat in the eyes of others.
But in today's tribes, there are actually no real "soldiers".
Once an armed conflict breaks out with other tribes, they will directly draw combat forces from the entire tribe.
These tribal warriors who came out to fight may have been farmers, fishermen, or engaged in various jobs, but none of them were professional soldiers! This is related to the state of the tribe and the structure and system of primitive society.
Simply put, in this primitive society, everyone has to work, and no tribe has the spare resources to support a group of professional soldiers who do not work but train every day.
But with the development of farming recently, Zhou Xu undoubtedly has some spare energy.
Of course, this is not the fundamental reason why he wanted to train troops. The fundamental reason he wanted to train troops was that he wanted to improve the combat effectiveness of the tribe.
Because only in this way will he have the strength to compete with the centaurs and hyenas on the eastern prairie!
Ordinary tribal warriors are, after all, just 'part-time' workers, just like ordinary people in modern society.
With this as a premise, receiving training can make them stronger!
