Lin Yan was shocked when he saw someone fishing in a basket by the river and harvesting a lot of fish. Sure enough, you can't underestimate anyone.
She smiled and asked, "How did you come up with this method?"
The old fishing man chuckled and said, "Thanks to you. One day I saw that hemp nets can catch rats and rabbits. I was thinking that fish in the river can also be caught with nets, but hemp nets are not easy to spread in the water. So I made a basket to catch it, and it worked once I tried it. This is how we catch fish around our house. We catch a lot of big fish at one time."
The old man fished out the fish from the basket, took out a basket and put a few fish in it, and handed it to Mao Mu, "Give these to Lin Yan. Without her, I wouldn't have thought of this good idea."
Lin Yan was looking at the rising contribution values in the science and technology museum. There were six kinds of fish in the old man's place, all of which he had never seen before.
"I don't want any fish, can I watch you fish here?"
"Of course." The old man welcomed her. Lin Yan was the lucky star in the tribe. She allowed the people in the tribe to live a life that they could not even imagine before.
The old man was very talkative, chatting with Lin Yan while fishing.
"At such a young age, you know things that none of us know. The elders in the tribe are very grateful to you and think that you are as capable as the Sun God."
Lin Yan hurriedly waved his little hand, "The Sun God is the god of the tribe. I am just a child. I can't compare. I can't compare. What's your name, old man?"
"Old Lin. Our names both have the character "林"." Old Lin was cheerful and liked Lin Yan very much.
"Yes, Lao Lin, what was your name when you were young?"
"My name was Xiao Lin at that time, and when I got older, I became Lao Lin."
Lin Yan smiled and said, "Many people in the tribe are called that."
"Yes. But since you taught everyone how to read, it won't be so difficult to name them."
Although Lao Lin is old, he has a studious heart. Whenever I have free time, I learn from the children who are studying with Lin Yan, and now I can write dozens of words. Not only that, but I also learned a lot of things.
"That's good. I'll teach you the writing, just use it. Lao Lin, how many people are there in your family?"
"It's just me and a boy. We used to be called Xiao Lin. After learning Chinese characters, we changed our names to Lin Yun. Lin Yun has grown up and can go out hunting and work."
"Where is Lin Yun's grandma?" Lin Yan asked curiously. Families like this were rare. In order to continue their bloodline, men usually choose women to start a family.
Old Lin paused while holding the basket, and said in a low tone: "She didn't catch up with the good times. If she had lived until now, she would have been blessed. Lin Yun's mother-in-law died while hunting a long time ago. At that time, Lin Yun was still alive. He was very young and I have carried him till now.”
Lin Yan said hurriedly: "Old Lin, you are very powerful. You can raise a little baby."
People in the tribe were proud of raising a baby. When Lin Yan praised him, Old Lin immediately became happy.
Seeing that there were more and more fish, Lin Yan said happily: "Old Lin, let me teach you how to recognize these fish. Each of them has its own name."
"Okay." Lao Lin was very happy. In the past, he only knew the calls of red fish and black fish. It would be better if he could identify them more clearly.
Next, Lin Yan explained the fish in the basket one by one, and Lao Lin and Mao Mu praised them. It turned out that there are so many kinds of fish.
Lao Lin carefully wrote down each fish. When he fished out the fish, he first pointed at the ones he knew and called out their names, letting Lin Yan judge whether they were right. Then he left the ones he didn't know.
Lin Yan introduced the new varieties one by one.
The three of them spent the morning happily, and Lao Lin harvested two large baskets full of fish, of various varieties, all of which were big fish.
He let Lin Yan choose whichever he wanted.
Take the rest back and keep it for yourself to eat, and trade the rest with the people in the tribe.
Not only did Lao Lin gain a lot on this day, but Lin Yan also gained a lot.
There are three rare species of fish caught, one with a reward contribution value of 15, and other types of fish, for a total harvest contribution value of 85.
If you gain something like this every day, it won't take long to accumulate enough contribution points.
She had already made an agreement with Lao Lin to show her any fish she didn't recognize. Lao Lin was naturally very happy.
There was a pile of pottery at home, including all kinds of plates, bowls, cups, and jars. Lin Yan had new ideas when he looked at the harvested pockmarks.
The bark of the hemp stems has been utilized. In addition to being used as seeds, the hemp seeds should have other uses.
Lin Yan found a small bowl, peeled out the pockmark kernels, and pounded them finely with a stone until a layer of oil gradually came out.
The sauce and oil are mixed together and look like a mushy mess.
When I touched it, it was very greasy. Just separate out the oil.
Although the iron pot is not used for cooking, it has great uses.
Clay pots are available, and some are more resistant to burning and can be used as pots to cook food. They are much easier to use than stone pots.
There are also pockmarked oil and pockmarked sauce, which can be considered an improvement.
"Auntie, let's eat something new today."
Huahong immediately smiled. Besides her daughter having so many new things these days, she was still looking forward to it, "What are we going to make?"
"Look what's in the bowl is pockmarked sauce. After the meat is cooked later, just pour the pockmarked sauce on it."
Lin Yan took out another lime fruit and squeezed out the juice for later use. There was almost no condiment and he had to rely on the acidity of the lime to make do.
When the meat in the clay pot is cooked, take it out, tear it into shreds with your hands, pour on the pockmark sauce, add some lime juice and stir evenly, and the shredded pork is ready.
Huahong ate like this for the first time. She watched for a while and saw Lin Yan taking a few bites before starting to eat.
As soon as you enter your mouth, there is an impact of several flavors. It is not a single meat flavor, but the mixed flavor is more delicious.
"tasty."
"Yeah, Mom, eat more." Lin Yan hugged his small bowl and stopped after taking a few mouthfuls.
A small appetite is one thing, but the most important thing is that the food here is too hard to swallow.
I thought that although she was not picky about food, indulged in various experiments, and ate simply, she had never eaten such crude food.
God knows how she endured it every time she ate.
In order to survive, he could only eat to fill his stomach.
Hua Hong was not picky at all and ate all the boiled meat with the sauce.
After eating, she cleared away the dishes and took out a pile of skins to dry.
Lin Yan was stunned, "Auntie, have these old leathers been tanned?"
"Yes, Mu Shi helped me get them. Not to mention, after being re-tanned, the skins are much softer and don't have such a strong smell. The cold season is coming soon, so let them dry for use."
"Ah, the cold season is coming?" Lin Yan was surprised. The weather has not changed much these days. There is only one season, and she is used to it.
"It's coming soon." Huahong said while busy: "The cave is very dry after being smoked with fire, and it is not cold anymore. You can warm yourself by the fire in it during the cold season, and it is not difficult. A few days ago, the grass branches were covered with pika. I sewed a suit of leather from the leather, and my mother-in-law looks very good, so she will go learn it later and make clothes out of these leathers when she comes back."
The leather has been used for a long time and has been accumulated. There is no complete piece and there are many holes.
In fact, the skins in the tribe are basically like this. Hunting is difficult, and it takes a lot of effort to peel off the skins, which are full of ragged holes.
Lin Yan ignored Grandma's nagging. She only cared about one thing, "Grandma, when will the cold season come?"
"I can't tell, it's coming soon."
