"God's envoy, this...is all...them...coming up...?"
For a moment, Shuiyun was stammering when he spoke. Although Shuiyun was shocked by many things in the Tengshe Tribe, he had personally participated in many of them, such as fishing nets. The Soaring Snake Tribe has never shown this to outsiders.
This was the first time they met at noon. They didn't expect that in just half a day, a group of half-grown children would be able to bring back the harvest of nearly four or five days in their tribe.
You must know that among this tribe, the Blackwater Tribe pays more attention to fishing. In addition to having a certain relationship with their totems, this is also because the resources are relatively good and the surrounding water network is relatively complex. Moreover, the tribe is built next to the river. The river is wider than ordinary tribes, and the fishery resources are relatively more.
But even so, relying on conventional methods is barely enough to fill the stomach. The main thing is to obtain more food through hunting.
If they could be like Soaring Snake, sending their children out and getting so many things back, then there would probably be no need for hunting.
However, Song Xuan also heard the inside information when he came in. There is also some moisture in it. Of course, the big fish and the small fish cannot be faked, because such big fish will usually be caught in time if they are put into the Tengshe. Get rid of it, because no matter where you keep it, it will generally become thinner as you raise it.
As for those small fish weighing about half a catty, being able to catch them is already a matter of luck. Even though the fishing nets are a little denser now than they were then, there are not many of them. Moreover, these small fish are from the Soaring Snake Tribe, which they still don’t like. , even if they were fished out in the past, they would either be put directly back into the river, and if they looked pleasing to the eye, they would be thrown into a nearby pit.
Therefore, no matter whether it is big fish or small fish, the tribe does not have much stock, but fish of four or five kilograms is different. Shi Shui also played tricks in this. In order to appear that the fish stock is relatively abundant, Shi Shui also let Shi Shui The man secretly cast a net inside the fence and brought up dozens of kilograms.
Although there is a slight suspicion of fraud, most of them were done by them, and the children of the Blackwater Tribe also participated. Among them, the use of fishing nets is very fast. With a little guidance, there is no big problem. problem, and the children of the Blackwater Tribe have better water skills than those of the Soaring Snake Tribe, and they are as comfortable as a duck in water after going down.
However, Song Xuan would not be stupid enough to expose him. The greater the number, the greater the shock it would bring to Shui Yun and the others, and it would be easier to tie them up. No matter whether they were willing or unwilling to join Teng She now, But as long as they have seen the power of Soaring Snake, I believe that even if there is a chance in the future, few people will think about going back to rebuild the tribe.
It is not difficult for Teng She to retain these dozens of people now. As long as they use force, it is difficult for them to pose any threat to Teng She with their weapons, but retaining their hearts is the most important thing. , now we have become a family and moving towards a better direction together is the best result.
When sharing the big fish at night, Song Xuan also intended for the Blackwater Tribe to eat more. Not only would the Tengshe Tribe be tired of eating such a big fish, but they could often taste it, so it could only be regarded as a little rare. There is not much difference between the taste of big fish and small fish. The main thing to eat is freshness. If you eat too much, it will be just like that.
But that's not the case with Shuiyun. Fish in the Blackwater Tribe is food given to them by the gods, so even if they eat it, they eat it with respect, unlike those who eat Haisai indiscriminately. It’s all about filling our bellies.
The spiritual attributes attached to this kind of big fish are even stronger. Although you still eat them normally, the sense of ritual is indeed much stronger.
"Ooooooooo!"
After the portion was distributed, everyone shouted before starting to eat.
However, eating in Tengshe is not as relaxing as in your own tribe. Although there are some environmental factors, the most important thing is that Song Xuan gave everyone a pair of torturous things - chopsticks.
Chopsticks have been popular in Tengshe for a long time. Song Xuan started to take the lead in using them when he first came here. Although Tengshe had similar things before, they were used to directly insert meat, and more like a skewer. , and only use one at a time.
More people still use the most primitive way, pinching it with their hands and stuffing it into their mouths. Song Xuan must not be able to stand this way of eating braised eggs.
When Teng She was eating for the first time, he broke off two branches from the surrounding trees. Some people in Teng She also learned from Song Xuan, such as rocks, which were the first ones, but no one was very skilled at the beginning. After pretending to poke it for a long time, it was finally used as a sign.
This situation did not change until a large number of pottery was produced in the tribe. Pots began to be used on a large scale, and there was more soup and water. Especially some fish, which are relatively easy to break and are not easy to use by hand. Can eat it.
If you want to eat, you can either hold the wood in your hand, or drink the soup and then enjoy it slowly. However, neither of these methods seems to be very enjoyable. On the contrary, Song Xuan uses chopsticks to eat and then drink. The soup seemed to be more enjoyable, and as time went by, Teng She's people gradually began to imitate it.
Song Xuan also followed the trend and took this opportunity to semi-force everyone to use chopsticks. Although he usually didn't care about how everyone ate, it still felt a little bad to see them grabbing it with their hands.
It would be acceptable if it was a large piece of meat, after all, it looked more heroic, but the minced meat was also held in his hand and put into his mouth, which really made Song Xuan a little unbearable.
Fortunately, it was quickly implemented after the force was imposed. The chopsticks used were not the wood that was broken off casually before, but carefully selected and then polished. Naturally, they are much easier to use, unless the conditions in the wild are really serious. It is not allowed. Nowadays, everyone is generally accustomed to using chopsticks. It is quite convenient to carry them with you when eating.
Everyone used it at the exchange conference before, but no one seemed to notice it. They probably didn't see the difference between the two.
However, Shuiyun and the others really understood it at once. Since they ate relatively solid food at noon, it was not obvious that the fish soup was stewed in the evening meal. Each of Teng She's people was holding two wooden sticks. Pick up the fish and bring it to your mouth.
After Song Xuan asked Shi Yan to distribute the chopsticks from the tribe to the people of the Blackwater tribe, they also followed the local customs. Like the Tengshe people, they wanted to use chopsticks to eat meat, but this was the first time they used it. How could they do it so quickly? Adaptable.
Many people watched the Teng She people next to them for a long time, but they didn't even learn how to hold it. They wanted to hold it directly with their hands, but when they saw that the Teng She people were eating more politely, they thought about it and put their hands down again, struggling. After waiting for a long time, I didn't even get the last bite of meat. I could only stare at the fish in the bowl in a daze.
Song Xuan also ate very happily. Today Shipi and the others caught two more big crabs. Song Xuan was immersed in fighting with them. After chewing for a long time, he looked up and found that the contents of the Shuiyun bowl beside him had not moved much. When he saw him taking Looking at the chopsticks at a loss, Song Xuan finally remembered that these people didn't know how to use chopsticks.
But it seems that things are not that bad. At least Shuiyun and the others did not put down the wooden sticks in their hands even though they didn't know how to use them.
After all, they have already joined the Soaring Snake Tribe, and they must learn to use chopsticks. This is something that happens sooner or later. Since it has been promoted now, Shuiyun and the others cannot help but learn how to use it.
You must know that even the captives are accustomed to eating with chopsticks. It's okay for them, but they are very polite to the captives when they correct their eating habits. They just teach them once. If they can't learn it, then they will continue. The consequences will not be so good.
However, Song Xuan was quite polite to Shui Yun and the others, and quickly asked the Teng She people to teach the Black Water Tribe people around him how to use them. Although they couldn't use them very skillfully at once, after teaching them how to hold chopsticks step by step, At least he could manage to put the contents of the bowl into his mouth.
After a while, they will slowly adapt to it, and I believe they will learn it soon, and by then they will know the wonderful uses of chopsticks.
Even with such an incident, they were quite happy to finish the whole meal. Teng She's two meals also left a very deep impression on them. Although they were not particularly rich, the quality was indeed better than what their own tribe had eaten before. is much better.
Especially the fish soup. Although the fish are fished out from the river and boiled in the water. The Blackwater Tribe even has salt. Logically speaking, the taste should be similar, but the one from Teng Snake is obviously more delicious. Tastier.
When some of them saw the mushrooms in the bowl, they realized that the umami taste seemed to be related to this thing, but the Tengshe people were all in the tribe, and no one went out to pick any mushrooms, and in the end The key thing is that there are several kinds of mushrooms among them, which are no longer common in this season.
The recent continuous heavy rains not only did not cause the mushrooms in the mountain forests to grow wildly, but many of them disappeared. It is estimated that the heavy rains destroyed the living environment of the mushrooms.
So even though everyone was looking around two days ago, the quantity was not large and the quality was not as good as before.
The people of the Blackwater Tribe also rely on this for their livelihood, so they are relatively familiar with the habits of mushrooms. It is very strange to see these kinds of mushrooms at this time. They are obviously not common things, but they can still be eaten here at Teng She. , could Soaring Snake be able to change the habits of mushrooms?
