I heard that there is new food to be distributed to everyone. Some people have little food left in the cave, so they came to take a look.
Food in the tribe has always been distributed according to labor.
Those who work more get more, while those who work less get less.
Those who received more food will have enough to eat for a while, but those who received less food will have little food left.
These people came out of the cave after hearing Meng Changjin's shouting, but when they saw that the food Meng Changjin was talking about was fish and beasts, no one had any expectations anymore.
They had also eaten the fish beast, and the taste was really terrible.
Just when everyone had given up hope, the witch came out of her cave.
He signaled Meng Changjin to pick out another fish for everyone to taste.
Meng Changjin naturally nodded in agreement. Some things would naturally not be believed by others just by words, but if you try it yourself, it will be a different story.
Meng Changjin began to clean the fish, scrape off the scales, gut it and take out the internal organs...he went through all the steps to prepare the fish.
Everyone watched very attentively.
The tribesmen are studious, and the witch's words also have a good effect.
By the time Meng Changjin put the fish on the fire and started roasting it, everyone was relatively familiar with the following process.
Although I have never grilled fish or other animals, I have grilled other kinds of animal meat.
The methods of grilling are similar, but different types of meat require different grilling times.
However, when Meng Changjin took out some seasoning and sprinkled it on the fish, everyone started asking questions.
"What is this thing on the fish-scattering beast?"
"Why sprinkle it on the grilled fish beast?"
“Is it poisonous?”
Meng Changjin could understand the first two questions, but for the last question, he almost rolled his eyes.
What do you think? Why do you think she would poison the fish?
Is she such a person? "This is a seasoning, it's not poisonous, it can make fish and animals taste better." Meng Changjin rolled his eyes in his heart, but still explained.
“What’s the seasoning?”
Meng Changjin: ...! This is a really good question. She doesn't know how to answer it.
"Something that makes fish beasts taste good." Meng Changjin had no choice but to say this.
After saying that, Meng Changjin saw that the fish was already grilled, and waved his hand: "Everyone come and have a taste."
There were so many questions that Meng Changjin didn’t know how to answer some of them, so he simply diverted everyone’s attention.
At first, everyone was a little hesitant, but after the first person, Meng Changjin, ate a little, everyone started to taste it.
Although he was mentally prepared, Meng Changjin still felt a little uncomfortable every time he saw everyone grabbing with their hands.
Meng Changjin tried hard to ignore this slight feeling of discomfort for the time being.
"tasty!"
“It’s delicious!”
"How can a fish beast be so delicious!"
As everyone ate the grilled fish prepared by Meng Changjin, suddenly, a lot of delicious food came to mind.
This is even more delicious than the meat of the long-eared beast and the red-headed beast! Meng Changjin was satisfied. If it tasted good, she would learn it well. With more food to eat, the possibility of starving to death would be smaller.
Meng Changjin watched everyone finish the whole grilled fish in no time, and then began to divide the fish.
"I think everyone has learned the process of handling fish beasts. If you follow my process, the fish beasts will definitely not taste too bad." Meng Changjin said as he distributed fish to everyone.
At the end, there were still a few left.
Everyone was very happy after getting their share of the fish.
Seeing that no one had left, Meng Changjin loudly said that starting tomorrow, she would go to break the ice on the river every day.
That way everyone can catch fish on their own.
In order to ensure that everyone survives this winter, Meng Changjin is very concerned.
After listening to what Meng Changjin said, everyone took the fish and returned to their respective caves.
Meng Changjin looked at those people climbing up the mountain wall, their bodies swaying a little in the wind, and felt that it was necessary to deepen the shallow pit on the mountain wall, or simply change it into stairs.
Could there be people who fell down when climbing up the cave on the mountain wall? Meng Changjin thought so.
After seeing all these people enter the cave, Meng Changjin had not left yet.
She found Wu again and decided to talk to him about how it was unhygienic to eat with hands and that it would be better for everyone to learn how to use chopsticks.
Using chopsticks is a technical job, and it is quite difficult to master it quickly.
So Meng Changjin had to settle for the second best. Even if he didn't use chopsticks, it would be best to wash his hands before eating every time.
Wu was a little confused by what Meng Changjin said.
Bacteria and hygiene are all unfamiliar words.
But Wu understood the general meaning, which was to let everyone learn to use a tool called chopsticks, and also remember to wash hands before eating.
Seeing that Wu had listened to him, Meng Changjin stopped and left.
This kind of thing that slowly changes everyone's habits in the tribe can be done by saying one thing every once in a while. If you have to say it all at once, whether the witch can remember it or not is one thing, but asking everyone to change many habits at once is really a difficult task.
A step-by-step approach will help us correct our bad habits in a gentle way, and this is the correct approach.
Dragging the remaining few fish back to his cave, Meng Changjin found that the fire outside his cave had gone out.
Without lighting another fire, Meng Changjin went straight into the cave, sat cross-legged on the haystack and began to practice.
There is more than a month of winter left, and Meng Changjin can only try his best to find ways to prevent people from dying from lack of food.
But after the winter passed, Meng Changjin had to take the attack on the Yan tribe seriously.
More than a month is enough.
When the time comes for the tribe to attack the Yan tribe, she will go up and kill the enemy's leader first. Without the leader, the others will lose their backbone, and their fighting power will surely plummet.
We will never let the Yan tribe go down the path of wanderers again.
One didn't feel cold while practicing. After practicing for a whole night, at dawn the next day, Meng Changjin wrapped himself in animal skins and went to the river to cut ice.
With a little bit of spiritual power added, it becomes easier to chop the ice.
In just a few strokes, Meng Changjin split a long section of ice on the river into several large pieces of ice.
Afraid that others would not be able to move the ice, Meng Changjin used a knife to pick it up.
After doing all this, Meng Changjin walked around the river with a knife, wanting to see if there were any plants he recognized.
But unfortunately, because of the winter, all the plants have withered. There are not many plants to begin with, and even if there are, they are covered by the thick layer of snow.
Meng Changjin dug around for a long time but only found a few plants, none of which he recognized.
Meng Changjin gave up. It was really difficult to take out the rice, flour, grain and oil she bought from the spiritual plant space. Otherwise, it would not be a problem to feed these people for a whole winter.
Forget it, Meng Changjin thought about it for a while and gave up the idea.
Let’s look for it first. Now the fish in the river are a good thing to fill your stomach. When there are no fish in the river and winter is not over yet, we can think of a way.
Just when Meng Changjin was about to go back to continue practicing, she suddenly thought of something and was no longer in a hurry to leave.
Instead, he turned and walked towards the mountains and forests.
The wild animals in the mountains and forests are hibernating now. Even if there are some hibernating animals, they will not come so close to the tribe.
If they really dare to run so close, wouldn't that be sending food? No matter how fierce the beast is, with so many people, it will die.
Besides, this area is actually a safe zone. Usually, the old people and women in the tribe come here to dig wild vegetables and collect firewood, and nothing happens.
So Meng Changjin was not worried about encountering any danger.
Meng Changjin found a thick tree, walked around it twice, touched it with his hand, then picked up the knife and started chopping down the tree.
Meng Changjin couldn't recognize what kind of tree it was, but since it looked okay, he just cut it down.
Cut it down and make it into a wooden barrel, basin or something like that, which will make it easier to deal with floods.
In each cave, there are two stone jars carved directly out of the mountain wall, one for water and the other for food.
However, it is not easy to transport water from the river. From the client's memory, everyone used bamboo tubes to fetch water, and only a little water could be fetched each time.
It takes a lot of time to fill a tank with water.
Of course, pumping water back from the river is one thing, and transporting the water to the cave on the cliff is another.
Meng Changjin quickly cut down a tree that was so big that even one person couldn't hug it, and it couldn't be dragged away, so he simply started making wooden barrels on the spot.
The knives made of fire heart stone are really good. Chopping wood with them is no different from cutting tofu.
The barrel was made quickly and looked the same, except that it was not as smooth and refined.
Meng Changjin didn't care about these things. If she really put more effort into it, even if she couldn't be as meticulous as a carpenter, she could at least make the wooden barrel look better.
But Meng Changjin felt that this was totally unnecessary.
Anyway, this wooden barrel is not made for display, it is used to fetch water.
No matter whether it looks good or not, as long as it can fetch water, it's fine.
The tribesmen are actually very strong. Even for women, it is not difficult to carry two buckets of water at a time.
Meng Changjin got four not-so-good-looking wooden barrels and prepared to go back.
There was still a large piece of tree trunk left, which Meng Changjin did not take away. He left it here and would come back to get a wooden barrel tomorrow.
Carrying the four empty barrels back to the other side of the cliff, Meng Changjin placed the barrels on flat ground and did not take them back to the cave.
She didn't want to use the wooden barrel herself, she brought it back to fetch water for everyone.
When going up to his cave from the ground, Meng Changjin simply carved out the stone steps with a knife.
It was directly cut to the top sixth layer.
Meng Changjin didn't know how these people got up to the top.
Although the height of a cave is only about 1.78 meters, when five or six floors are added together, it is not low.
With this stone staircase built, it will be much more convenient for people in the caves on both sides to go up and down.
However, the shaved stones take up more space.
Just when Meng Changjin was worrying about what to do, people came out of the cave on both sides. Seeing Meng Changjin standing at the top with a worried look on his face, they all asked if they could pick up the stones. The stone steps that Meng Changjin cut were actually quite steep, but they were much better than the original stone pit.
When he heard that others wanted stones, Meng Changjin waved his hand nonchalantly, indicating that everyone could take them if they needed them.
Meng Changjin thought he had the demeanor of a master, but in the eyes of these people, he was not very impressive.
But everyone also admired Meng Changjin. They had tried every possible means to dig out these stone pits before, but Meng Changjin turned them into stone steps in one go.
Now it is much more convenient to go up and down.
Meng Changjin didn't know what to do with the stones, as they were all taken away in just a few minutes.
The stones can be piled up to block the wind. The reason why it was not done before was that it was very difficult to just get up there, and we also had to carry food and water up there. Who would have the energy to carry stones?
Meng Changjin walked down the stone steps again.
It is a little steep, but it is much better than the previous stone pit.
Meng Changjin thought that since he had nothing to do anyway, he might as well convert the stone pits in other places into steps.
Every time a line was changed, someone would come out and pick up the stones and put them into the cave. Meng Changjin felt that this saved a lot of trouble.
When Meng Changjin was cutting the stone steps, some people went out.
Go out and catch some fish.
The food that was distributed previously can be stored longer because it has been processed.
Now that we have edible things like fish and animals, of course the more the better.
After all, for the tribesmen, no one would complain about having too much food.
While cutting the stone steps, Meng Changjin was also promoting the idea that fish and animals would not have that unpleasant taste if they were properly processed. After visiting each other yesterday, everyone basically knew this.
There are still many people who are willing to catch fish and animals, especially the elderly and women.
They could not go out hunting, and could only rely on the warriors in the tribe to obtain food.
Now you can get food by catching fish beasts, it's really easy.
They are also willing to be self-reliant.
Meng Changjin was also very happy to see so many people coming out to catch fish.
If the people of the Yan tribe were the kind of people who waited for food to be delivered to their doorsteps, then Meng Changjin felt that she would still complete the mission, but it might just be a matter of doing the mission.
Just take care of yourself, take care of the fire, and don't let the Yan tribe be destroyed.
But it is obvious that how can a tribe that can make a person worry about death be the kind of tribe where people just eat and wait to die?
As Meng Changjin carved more stone steps, more people noticed the red knife in her hand.
The members of the hunting team of the Yan tribe were drooling over the straight knife in Meng Changjin's hand.
But no one said that they wanted Meng Changjin's knife.
The people of the Yan tribe have their own persistence and bottom line.
They would think that Meng Changjin's knife was very powerful, but they would never do anything to take Meng Changjin's things for themselves.
Besides, weapons are very important to the warriors of the hunting team. They don’t want others to covet their weapons, and similarly, they will not covet other people’s weapons.
