The chopped meat was put into the pot and cooked directly. It took five large pots to cook it. The salt in Mingyi's hand told Xin that there was no salt at all.
After all, the cooked tiger meat was tainted with a bit of salt, so it was not tasteless at all. As for the tiger bones, Mingyi found an excuse and threw them into the forest, so as not to be missed by wild beasts on the grass. The tiger bones were put into the space after arriving in the forest.
And they got the meat of three big tigers, and some rabbit meat.
The four large pots of meat were eaten freely. The father and son were full and only ate half of the pot. After eating and drinking, they picked up the meat and put it on a stone to dry in the shade. They washed the iron pot and boiled water. They each went to the forest to take a bath to get rid of the stench and meat smell from their bodies.
After tidying up, it was already dark.
"Keep the meat here, don't let others see it, and bring something back for father." Anyway, they are full, so they are not afraid of starving.
As for how they killed the tiger, Cheng Yuanxi didn't intend to ask; there were many people talking, so it was better for him to know less, so as not to let the truth out and bring trouble to his children.
If they can find so much meat in the woods, they know there is no need to worry about them.
"Don't insist on going up to something big. Put your own safety first in everything. A gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall." He thought so in his heart. As a father, Cheng Yuanxi still couldn't help but exhort him earnestly.
Mingyi listened carefully and nodded solemnly, "Yes, my daughter listens to her father."
Cheng Mingli:
As an older brother, he should shoulder the blame left by his sister!
"Dad, don't worry about us. My sister and I got an opportunity accidentally. There is no problem in moving around in the forest. As long as we don't encounter too many large beasts, we can protect ourselves. You and your mother don't have to worry about us."
Cheng Yuanxi got a positive answer, confirming his suspicion; at first he thought the two were digging traps in the forest. They were smart and flexible, so they should have no problem in protecting themselves. I didn't expect that they would have other opportunities.
"In that case, if you don't ask me carefully, please be careful; your mother and I only have two children."
"I understand, Dad, my brother and I will provide for our parents until they die."
"You." Cheng Yuanxi smiled fondly, and his pampering for his daughter seemed to be engraved in his bones. As long as she was a little softer, he couldn't help but be nice to her, "Remember what you said, don't be impulsive."
Mingyi nodded in response, yes, yes, okay, okay.
Finally sent dad away.
"It's okay to leave, but dad is getting more and more verbose." Mingyi complained, then turned to look at her brother who was looking down at her. The look in his eyes had a profound meaning; Mingyi shrank his neck, not because he was cowardly, but because he was loved. Everyone took it seriously and said, "I understand why my brother is so nagging. It turns out he is just following his father."
"You still say that!" Cheng Mingli raised his hand and rubbed her forehead twice in retaliation.
Mingyi felt confident and raised her chin slightly, and said proudly: "It turns out that you and dad are becoming more and more alike, especially when we talk about it."
"." Don't you want your brother's majesty?
"Brother, you watch the meat, I'm going to play." When Cheng Mingli wanted to take revenge on her again, he ran away and disappeared.
Cheng Mingli watched the figure disappear into the dense grass, then turned around and sat down. His father took away a kitchen knife, an iron pot, and some tiger meat. The meat he brought back was for his mother to eat. There is still a lot of meat left, and the whole stone is piled high, and some are even placed on the grass with big dry leaves.
Meat placed on grass or stones can easily attract ants and mosquitoes.
Mingyi rummaged around on the grass and saw that part of the fresh wild vegetables had been collected into the space, leaving some to grow freely on the grass. As she ran along, she gradually found some seasonings, such as old ginger and wild onions and garlic.
Put all the seasonings you see into the space and store them so that they can remove some of the fishy smell when cooking meat in the future.
Unfortunately, the salt is gone!
When the grassland came to an end, she went into the forest; the forest was so dry and yellow that there were no plants to eat, and the game animals were looking for their own way out. For example, the three big cats she met last night may have been born after the little one was born. Only after migration did they stay.
I wandered around the forest but found nothing; on my way back, I stowed some of the broken trunks into space for emergencies.
No one knows whether the road ahead will continue to be dry.
If a world-destroying natural disaster comes, it will not only be a drought, but there will also be other natural disasters such as wind, rain, snow, etc.; even earthquakes, strong winds, and extreme cold.
While picking up firewood, she saw dry ginseng leaves, and the fruits on them had withered into shape.
"I don't know if the ginseng down there can still be used." He began to dig out the ginseng in confusion. The soil was dry and loose, so digging the ginseng was much faster.
Ginseng was unearthed. Looking at the ginseng that was still a little fresh, Mingyi couldn't help but smile.
She found another way to make money.
There are few people coming to the mountains, so there should be a lot of ginseng. This ginseng can maintain a certain degree of freshness, which means other ginseng can also be used.
With this idea in mind, she intentionally walked deeper, stopping and running; while picking up firewood, she searched for traces of ginseng, and she actually found three more ginseng plants.
A five-hundred-year-old plant is very big.
A two-hundred-year-old plant has become human-shaped.
A fifty-year-old plant is too small to be seen compared to the other two; however, it is just right to sell it.
As for the first ginseng plant dug up, it is only thirty years old and can be sold together with the fifty year old one.
The remaining two large ginseng plants were left and kept in jade boxes in the space; it is impossible to say that they will be of great use in the future. After all, there are countless natural and earthly treasures, and they cannot be found anytime and anywhere.
Mingyi continued to wander in the mountains, and Cheng Yuanxi returned to Tanbian'er carrying the iron pot. The sky was completely bright; the tribesmen had already gotten up, and when they saw Cheng Yuanxi coming back carrying the pot, they all looked puzzled.
"Yuan Xi, where did you go carrying a pot so early in the morning? You just came back."
"I saw a small pool somewhere else, and my children want to take a bath. I'm not afraid of disturbing you, so I took them out to take a bath!" Cheng Yuanxi smiled, his attitude was sincere, and his face was calm, making it impossible to tell the truth of his words.
"Stop going out to cook something secretly."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Nowadays, everyone has a certain amount of food. You can eat whatever you want; it's just wild vegetables! Wild vegetables have no taste if eaten alone."
"Who knows? Don't forget, their two children are very good at catching game."
"That's true."
"That's also someone else's business. Who knows when they went out; it's not necessarily true if they really went to take a bath. There were many people at our pool. We were all sleeping before, and they were afraid of disturbing us. We went out to find a place with water. It’s normal to take a shower.”
The tribesmen were divided into two groups. One group believed that Cheng Yuanxi took the children out to take a bath, regardless of whether they believed it in their hearts. The other group believed that they went out to eat alone secretly.
