This feeling is very mysterious, as if I suddenly have roots and the motivation to strive and grow.
Not to mention the Xiong family, the other people have a look of envy and yearning. This is the name given by the clan leader himself. The Xiong family, named after the bear, represents strength and bravery, and its meaning is extraordinary. This is How could others not envy and yearn for such an honor?
Even they themselves can, as the patriarch said, take the name of the universe as their surname, but how can the surname they choose be compared with the surname given by the patriarch himself? The meaning is completely incomparable.
Those who are not ambitious will choose to choose a surname by themselves, but those who are ambitious and confident are all prepared to get a surname personally given by the clan leader. For this reason, we will never be content to be inferior to others.
"I have a Xiong clan. Thank you to the clan leader for the name. I am willing to die for the clan leader."
Xiong's burly body bowed towards Zhong Yan like pushing a mountain of gold over a jade pillar, shouting enthusiastically.
"Very well, get up."
Zhong Yan nodded with a smile, then looked at the people around him and continued: "Not only the Xiong clan, if you make contributions and work hard in the future, the leader of this clan will not be stingy and will give you a surname. In the future, you will also establish a legacy. It has been passed down through the ages to show to future generations.”
As soon as these words came out, other tribesmen, regardless of gender, were all excited and looking forward to the day when they could get their own surnames.
"Of course, you can now take a title for yourself as a symbol, like a nickname or a nickname. You can call each other, communicate with each other, and have your own unique mark. You can also directly take your surname, these, and There are no rules, it’s up to you.”
Giving a surname is an honor, but it does not mean that everyone must be given a surname. This is a bit unrealistic. Giving a surname is a reward and an incentive.
When the others heard it, they all felt secretly in their hearts. Obviously, they were all very tempted. After all, when people exist in the world, they always have to have a code name. Even if it is not a real name, but just a nickname, a nickname is good, because it also represents oneself.
"Okay, the black bear should be dead now. Now remove the stones from the trap and dig out the black bear's body. This will be our dinner today."
"Tonight, we...eat meat."
Zhong Yan smiled and pointed to the trap at his feet and said.
A wolf travels a thousand miles to eat meat, a dog travels a thousand miles to eat shit! !
Only by eating meat can you gain strength. If you have meat to eat, how can you only eat fruits? Fruits cannot fill your stomach.
"Yes, patriarch."
When the others heard this, they all agreed.
A group of people quickly moved the stones, even one per person, and quickly moved the stones out of the trap, revealing the big black bear buried inside. I have to say, this black bear is really big, even in Inside the trap, many people felt a little trembling in their hearts after seeing it. Fortunately, they were already dead. They were stabbed by the stone tools in the trap and buried inside. After such a long time, it was difficult not to die.
Of course there are no surprises.
As for whether the black bear died unjustly or not, that doesn't matter.
"I heard that bear paws are a supreme delicacy, but unfortunately, there is no way to cook them to the highest level here. I am only a rough cook. Home cooking is okay, but it is absolutely impossible to prepare bear paws. Plus, The conditions here are such that we haven’t even created a fire. It’s a bit redundant to think about this now.”
Zhong Yan shook his head and smiled as he thought about it. Now is the time to survive, not to enjoy. Tasting food, these things, is something that comes later.
Now...there is so much waste waiting to be done! !
Everyone worked together and quickly brought the black bear up. Mr. Xiong was the first to step forward. According to the method Zhong Yan had demonstrated before, he sharpened the stone knife until it was sharp enough and began to dissect and skin the black bear. Although there are no professional tools, no one cares now. Who wants to eat fruits if they can eat meat? Meat can fill the stomach and supplement protein.
Zhong Yan didn't do it himself, but just directed everyone to do it from the side.
With the strength of many people, a huge black bear was skinned and even the meat was cut into pieces in a short time. Convenience is a big river, and it is also very convenient for cleaning. These people are not stupid people, and they all learn things very quickly, especially women. They are more comfortable with some detailed work and complete it extremely well.
Two bear paws are specially set aside.
It was also cleaned cleanly, and soon it was served on banana leaves and arranged neatly. However, the meat was raw. If there were no conditions, it was nothing to eat raw meat and drink blood, but Zhong Yan was. Coming from a civilized era, I still don’t want to try eating raw meat.
So, getting the fire out, that's a must.
"People, this meat can be eaten raw, and it can also satisfy your hunger. However, this is the way of barbarians. We humans have our own methods. Only by eating cooked food can we be healthier. That is also civilization."
Zhong Yan said with a smile.
"Clan leader, how can we get cooked food?"
Someone asked, his eyes full of curiosity and thirst for knowledge.
"If you want to eat cooked food, you must use fire. Fire is the beginning of civilization. Only if you know how to use flames can you survive better. Fire can make cooked food, dispel darkness in the dark night, and bring food to life in ice and snow. To keep warm. Therefore, whether you can master fire is an important line that distinguishes civilization from barbarism."
Zhong Yan said slowly, but there was a kind of importance in his words that could not be ignored.
"Clan leader, how can we get fire?"
You Xiong asked yearningly.
"There are many ways for fire to be born. For example, thunder and lightning from the sky can ignite trees and form flames. There are ground fires erupting from volcanoes, and there are mountain fires born under the sun. Of course, these Obtaining fire is not only dangerous, but also depends on luck. It does not appear at all times. It may only happen once a year, several years, or ten years. Obtaining fire is naturally as difficult as climbing to the sky."
Zhong Yan did not hesitate and said calmly.
"this......."
When everyone heard this, their faces showed disappointment and distress.
It is naturally difficult to control the emotions in my heart when I hear that there is fire but cannot obtain it.
"Of course, there are other ways to obtain fire."
"Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement. Man needs to rely on himself, and man will surely defeat heaven."
"Today, I will teach you how to obtain fire by yourself."
"Drill wood to make fire!!"
Zhong Yan said with a smile.
The simplest and most convenient way to obtain fire is to drill wood to make fire. Of course, in addition to drilling wood to make fire, there are other methods, which require specific conditions to achieve. It is better to drill wood to make fire, which can be easily found. Tools required.
"Please also ask the clan leader to give me fire."
Everyone shouted in unison.
Zhong Yan didn't show off. He first picked up some pine needles from nearby and some rosin from the tree. Then he found a small straight wooden stick and a thick branch. He sharpened the stick with a stone knife and then cut the stick. The thicker branches were flattened and a groove was made in them.
After completing it step by step, place the small wooden stick in the groove, clasp your hands, and start to rub the wooden stick back and forth, and keep turning. After a few breaths, you can see that a burst of green smoke has appeared in the groove, and, the green smoke It is getting thicker and thicker, and a lot of black wood chips have been rubbed out in the grooves, with a trace of sparks shining on them.
After Zhong Yan saw it, he immediately stopped, put down the stick, poured the sawdust onto the tinder that had been prepared aside, picked up the tinder, put it to his mouth, and blew it gently. In a few breaths, the tinder was in the air. More and more thick green smoke came out, and then, a flash of fire, the tinder was completely ignited and turned into flames.
"fire!!"
Zhong Yan smiled and put the tinder into the dry pine needles, and then placed small dead branches.
"fire!"
"It's fire!!"
"This is the flame. It's so powerful. You can use such a simple stick to ignite the flame and obtain fire. The clan leader is indeed the clan leader."
The heat in everyone's eyes was simply irresistible. Looking at the flames, one instinctively felt an inexplicable warmth, a kind of hope, and a kind of spiritual satisfaction. All of a sudden, the haze in my heart is dispelled, and the fear of the future disappears.
"This is how to make fire by drilling wood. This is the result of human wisdom. Therefore, if you encounter a problem, observe more and use your brain more, and you will have a greater chance of getting a solution to the problem."
Zhong Yan said with a smile.
This is also a kind of guidance, once again imprinting on everyone the importance of wisdom. Wisdom is the biggest characteristic that distinguishes humans from beasts.
"Yes, patriarch."
You Xiong and others all shouted with enthusiasm.
Afterwards, Zhong Yan also began to guide everyone to pick up more firewood, separate piles of bonfires, divide into groups, and start cooking with bear meat. There are no conditions here, and barbecue is the simplest and most convenient method.
Soon, you can smell the aroma of meat filling the air. It made everyone swallow their saliva.
Zhong Yan himself also held a bear paw and turned it back and forth on the fire, watching the bear paw turn golden little by little, and the oil dripping on the flame, making the flames burn brightly and fragrant from time to time. It has already hit your nose. Although there are no ingredients, not even salt, high-end ingredients often only need the simplest cooking methods to show their amazing charm.
After feeling that the bear's paw was healed, he put it to his mouth and bit it down without hesitation.
From being selected, entering this endless void, to now becoming a lord, creating his own tribe, it seemed that he didn't feel the passage of time, but now he really felt a hunger, and he couldn't be content with others because he had meat in front of him.
I had only heard of this top-notch ingredient before but never tasted it. If I had tasted it, I would probably go in and eat for free.
"Fragrant, tender, sweet and smooth."
After one sip, an amazing taste is delivered to the taste buds and impacts the soul.
Indeed, tasting these top-quality ingredients is a pleasure in itself.
