Chapter 215 What else?
Centaurs generally eat two to three times as much as ordinary humans.
Under normal circumstances, their grassland village would not be short of this little food, but the situation is different now. They suffered a lot in the previous snowstorm and suffered a lot of food losses.
In this situation, Zhou Xu didn't try to be pretentious and just went to get his meals as normal.
However, he was not too stingy. On top of the normal portion, he instructed the person serving the food to give Drogo and the others an extra portion of the staple food.
Of course, if the soldiers and villagers in the grassland village need it, staple food can be added, but dishes are generally not allowed.
During the dinner, the centaurs, including Drogo, almost swallowed their tongues.
They were obviously not full, but they were not hungry either.
After all, from Zhou Xu's perspective, the carbohydrates and nutrients that one portion of their food can provide are completely sufficient.
At this moment, Zhuo Ge, who was still obviously thinking about the dinner he had just eaten, turned to look at Zhou Xu, who had also finished his meal, and asked in disbelief...
“How on earth is this done?”
"What and how?"
Zhou Xu looked puzzled.
“It’s this food.”
Having said this, Drogo paused for a long time. Obviously, he didn't know how to say this.
He now felt that ordinary words could not fully express his feelings at the moment.
“I’ve never eaten anything like it.”
In this era, being able to roast food before eating it is considered respectable. Where have they ever eaten food that was cooked like Zhou Xu's, and even seasoned with salt?
However, Drogo's words only earned Zhou Xu an even more confused expression.
"I've always eaten like this. Isn't that how you eat?"
“…”
This question made Drogo a little at a loss as to what to do.
This time, Zhou Xu was simply pretending to be ignorant even though he knew the truth.
It's not purely to mess with Drogo's mentality, but about cooking, what do you want him to say? He doesn't have the time to teach Drogo and the others how to cook.
After dinner, Zhou Xu arranged accommodation for Zhuo Ge and the others.
The centaurs were tall, so it was obviously not suitable for them to live in the house. In the end, they built a shed for them and piled some straw as their resting place.
To Zhou Xu and other people who already lived in the house, it was indeed shabby, but he could conclude that the house that Drogo and his friends had lived in before was not as good as this.
Sure enough, the Centaurs felt very comfortable after lying down on the dry straw.
I didn't feel it was shabby at all.
That night, Drogo and his companions suddenly realized the benefits of having a camp. At least they had never slept so soundly before.
The next morning, while standing in line, Drogo's expression was a little dazed.
"You guys eat two meals a day?"
"Well, what else?"
Hearing the question, Zhou Xu turned to look at Drogo with a confused look on his face.
What greeted him was Drogo's face full of doubt about life.
Regardless of Drogo who was deeply in self-doubt, the other Centaurs' performance at this moment could only be described as "joyful".
They didn’t have enough for dinner yesterday, but that didn’t matter. It was hard for anyone to have a full meal this year, not to mention this season when food was hard to come by.
But they never expected that the people in this grassland village would eat two meals a day! ? Damn! These are two meals! Even on weekdays, with their excellent hunting skills, they can basically get food every day, but they have never been so extravagant.
At this moment, the Centaurs suddenly felt as if their original worldview had collapsed. Could this be true? Were they dreaming?! Because the food last night was so delicious, they had such a beautiful dream! Until that mouthful of breakfast was stuffed into their mouths.
Hey! No matter if it’s a dream or not, just eat first!
After breakfast, today's task of searching for the saber-toothed tiger and hunting it will naturally continue.
The mental state of Drogo and his men was obviously better than usual. After saying hello to Zhou Xu, both sides set off in high spirits.
Zhou Xu, on the other hand, took care of two matters that were brought to him early in the morning, and then walked slowly to the breeding farm.
The breeding farm has not been rebuilt yet, and it is still mainly greenhouses.
As soon as Zhou Xu arrived, he went to ask the breeder about the condition of the six wolf cubs.
"We chopped up the meat and fed it to them as you instructed. These six wolf cubs are not afraid of strangers and are probably very hungry. They ate it all quickly and are now in the straw pile."
Zhou Xu nodded and walked over to take a look.
The straw pile was surrounded by a circle of thick wooden boards, which was as high as a person's chest. On the one hand, this was done to protect the wolf cubs from the wind and snow as they were still young, and on the other hand, it was to prevent them from escaping.
When he came over, the six little wolf cubs were fighting and rolling on the straw pile.
This should be practicing hunting, which is the animal's instinct.
The little wolf cub is heartless at this age. After eating and sleeping warmly here, he soon forgets who his parents are.
When he walked over, the six little wolf cubs noticed him, but they didn't react much and continued to do what they were doing.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for them.
At least it can allow them to establish a close relationship with these six wolf cubs more quickly.
If you want to tame them, the first thing you need to do is to get close to them and make these little wolf cubs less aggressive towards them.
The core of its domestication is actually somewhat similar to that of domesticating bison, which is to control food and let them know that you are the one who provides them with food, but there are also some differences.
As his thoughts raced, Zhou Xu reached out and grabbed a little wolf cub.
As luck would have it, the one caught was exactly the little white wolf.
The little white wolf in his hand immediately howled and struggled, trying to break free from his control.
But unfortunately, it was useless! Zhou Xu finally held the little white wolf on his lap and rubbed it at will.
After rubbing its head and body, he did not forget to pinch its little paws. Later, he simply turned the little white wolf over, exposing its belly and rubbed it.
During this process, the little white wolf seemed to be forced into a corner and opened its mouth and tried to bite him.
Seeing this, Zhou Xu calmly withdrew his hand, then snapped his fingers and hit the little guy on the chin, causing him to shut his mouth.
There are some things in common when raising cats and dogs. One very important step is to desensitize them.
The wolf cubs are too young and have no killing power yet, so this is the perfect time to desensitize them.
"Do you understand? From now on, rub them like this before feeding them every day. Don't leave out their paws, mouths, and stomachs. If they open their mouths, hit their chins and noses."
"You don't need to rub it for too long at the beginning, just rub it roughly, put it back after rubbing, and then give it food. Then slowly increase the time until they completely stop resisting."
