Lin Yanzheng was happy and finally lit the fire.
Unexpectedly, Aniang moved too quickly. By the time she regained consciousness, she had already run far away.
Seeing Aniang's reaction, she was very scared. She quickly asked: "What is the sky fire?"
Huahong glanced down at her daughter, and then looked at the pile of flames in fear, "There are rumors in the tribe that the sky fire is so powerful that it is a punishment sent by God. It will burn everything, and it is very scary. My mother-in-law has seen the sky fire before, and it is really scary. "
"Lin Yan, what are you doing with the sky fire?"
Huahong's tone was serious, wanting her daughter to realize the seriousness of Sky Fire.
"Auntie, that's not the sky fire." Lin Yan looked at Huahong's eyes very seriously, "The sky fire came down from the sky, that's the fire we just built."
"Auntie, look, the fire is very small and it's impossible to burn everything. If we get closer, we can see it more clearly."
Huahong was half-convinced that it was indeed not the sky fire, but that she had just made it with her own hands.
Heavenly fire usually occurs when the sky roars and destroys the sky and the earth.
Under Lin Yan's persuasion, the two women approached the fire.
Huahong looked carefully and saw that the fire was only burning on the stone slab. There was no fire around it. It was indeed not a sky fire. She breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why is there fire?"
Lin Yan explained to Aniang: "These dry leaves are very flammable after being exposed to the sun, and the water evaporates. The sparks from the impact of the stone splashed on them and ignited the leaves, and they burned."
Huahong seemed to understand, "Why are you making fire?" Although it wasn't sky fire, it still felt dangerous.
Lin Yan threw the dead branches he picked into the fire and said, "We'll find out later. Mom, give me some fresh meat."
She brought the fire to the simple stove she built with a few stones. In fact, she dug a small pit, with the bottom and sides supported by stones, leaving ventilation in the front and back to add firewood.
A clean stone slab was placed on it.
Lin Yan carefully selected them and washed them with water many times. She selected five flat stone slabs, about five centimeters thick, not very large.
This is the slab on which she prepares the barbecue.
These days, she has been pestering her grandma to carve out a stone mortar to use as a pot to boil hot water for drinking.
In order to eat cooked food and drink hot water, she worked hard.
Huahong brought over a rat and rabbit leg, which weighed three kilograms and was still dripping with blood.
She just got this from hunting yesterday, and she hasn't had time to make it into dried meat yet.
It’s not easy to bake such a big rat and rabbit leg.
Lin Yan said hurriedly: "Mom, can you cut the meat into thin slices? It's such a big lump and it's hard to bake it."
Huahong thought for a while, put the pika's legs on the big leaves on the side, and went to the cave to find a stone knife. She just polished one side of the long stone to make it sharper and used it as a knife.
After cutting the pika's leg for a long time, the pika's leg was reduced to a thickness of more than one centimeter.
The conditions were limited, so Lin Yan didn't pay attention to it. He found a piece that was almost connected to the flesh and skin, and rubbed it back and forth on the hot stone slab.
After polishing the slate until it was shiny, I placed two thick slices of meat on it and started roasting.
As time went by, sizzling oil bubbles continued to emerge, and the aroma of meat hit his nose. Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
The first try should be successful.
Compared to Lin Yan's calmness, the bonus was very obvious.
She sniffed hard and moved closer to the direction where the smell of meat came from.
If it hadn't been unable to withstand the heat of the flames, it would have been able to stick to the stone slab.
Lin Yan smiled and said, "Mom, this is barbecue. Wait a minute and you'll be able to eat it soon."
Even without seasoning, the raw meat is very delicious and makes people salivate just by smelling it.
"It's so fragrant." Huahong swallowed unconsciously, "When can I eat it?"
"Come on, come on, wait a minute."
The aroma of the meat continued to spread, and before it was finished roasting, Huahong couldn't bear it anymore. She reached out and quickly took a piece from the stone slab. It was so hot that she jumped in her feet, but she couldn't bear to throw it away.
Lin Yan reacted quickly and hurriedly found a clean slate and asked her to let it dry first.
The two mothers had been roasting for a long time, and were waiting for the barbecue to cool down, swallowing their saliva constantly.
Lin Yan had never felt that meat was so tempting, and he really wanted to swallow it in one bite.
But the freshly roasted meat was very hot, and it was even more difficult to eat under the scorching sun.
All we can do is wait patiently.
Suddenly, like a gust of wind, the barbecue in front of him disappeared.
Lin Yan didn't protect herself, but Huahong reacted quickly and looked at the barbecue that was protecting her and waiting for a long time.
"too delicious."
Huahong had already stuffed the meat into her mouth, chewing it while agreeing: "Yes, it's fragrant and soft, and it's delicious. It tastes like meat I've never tasted before."
After she finished speaking, she realized that her daughter's barbecue had been robbed. He quickly looked to see who was snatching the meat.
Lin Yan stared at the person who snatched the meat angrily and accused: "Give the meat back to me." The barbecue she had been thinking about for a long time, she had to pay so much to get a piece of it, but before she had a chance to taste it, it went into someone else's stomach.
The person who snatched the meat was an old woman. Her hair was messy and the original color could not be seen. She was Huahong's neighbor, Ye Zi.
In fact, Ye Ye is only five years older than Hua Hong, but he looks older than ten years.
Ye Zi lives ten meters away from Hua Hong and the others, a family of three, including an old man Mu Shi and a thin little boy Ye Ya.
Ye Zi was busy eating meat and ignored Lin Yan.
Swallowing a big gulp, he finished a piece of meat in a few seconds.
"Huahong, this meat is so fragrant. You can smell it from afar. It's very tempting. Do you have any more?"
"No more." Huahong pointed to the stone slab. Only two pieces of meat were roasted, which was not enough to eat.
Rolling her eyes, she continued: "This is Lin Yan's idea. Is it delicious?"
"tasty."
The barbecue was so fragrant, Ye Zi was very sure, "It's just too little."
"If you want to eat, I can exchange it for your good food."
Lin Yan realized that Aniang didn't want others to be freeloaders.
Ye Zi responded readily: "Okay, you wait."
Not long after, Ye Zi brought two people from his family with a large piece of meat and some lime fruits.
In the tribe, food is the most important thing.
Huahong looked at it and reluctantly agreed, asking them to pick up some firewood and stones and prepare to build another barbecue platform.
Only then did Ye Zi and the other three notice the fire, and were extremely surprised. They immediately went to work after realizing that barbecue was made with fire.
Lin Yan was happy to see this happen. It’s impossible to serve food if you bake it alone.
She found branches again, put the meat skewers on the fire and grilled them. It bakes faster this way.
The five of them worked hard all afternoon, barely filling their stomachs. Lin Yan was young and couldn't eat much, so most of the roast meat went into Hua Hong's stomach.
Ye Zi's family are all very good eaters, and they were still unsatisfied after finishing the piece of meat they brought.
As dusk fell, the firelight in the darkness shone brightly on their faces. Everyone except Lin Yan was extremely surprised.
They gathered around the fire and refused to leave until it was very late. Lin Yan couldn't resist the sleepiness and repeatedly promised that the fire would light up tomorrow before they dispersed.
Lin Yan took a nap, woke up in the middle of the night, and went to the Science and Technology Museum first.
He was stunned when he saw it. The black crystal ball clearly displayed the eye-catching contribution value.
"Fat Bao, what's going on?"
Fat Bao: "You lit up the fire, and the reward contribution value is 1,000. Lighting up the new cooking skill will reward you with a contribution value of 100."
"Why is the gap so big?"
Fat Bao: "There is no fire in this era, so it is of extraordinary significance for you to do this. Cooking is the skill that comes with lighting the fire."
Lin Yan understood that fire was more important than barbecue.
