But after the tribal sacrifice was over, the clan leader was about to start distributing food to the clan members as usual, but there was a noise outside, and then a clan member ran over with a face of ecstasy.
"Clan leader, fire! Fire was found outside." The people running over said to the leader with dancing hands.
There had been fire in the tribe, so everyone was no stranger to fire, and they also knew the function of fire very well, so they were so excited when faced with the sudden appearance of fire.
When the clan leader heard this, he stood up abruptly. He didn't care about the food he usually cherished that fell on the ground. He asked in disbelief: "Where is the fire? Is it true?"
"It's not far outside." The tribesman nodded affirmatively.
"Let's go! Go and have a look!" The clan leader had temporarily ignored the people who were queuing up to receive food, and directly gave instructions to the clan members who reported the news.
Seeing the clan leader's quick departure, the clan members in the cave exploded, and some of them quickly chased after the clan leader and others.
Not to mention the reaction of the tribesmen in the cave, by the time the tribe leader led a few people to the location of the fire, there were already a lot of people surrounding the place.
Among the crowd, a short figure stood in the center, being watched with unusual admiration by others, making him particularly eye-catching.
"Clan leader!"
"The patriarch is here!"
…
The arrival of the clan leader immediately diverted everyone's attention, and they all shouted to get out of the way.
The patriarch nodded, took a deep look at the short figure, and finally set his gaze on the burning fire. The enthusiasm and excitement in his eyes could not be concealed no matter what.
Some tremblingly, he stretched out a pair of strong and strong hands and grasped a few handfuls on the flames. The bursts of burning pain from the flames on his hands not only did not make the patriarch feel painful, but made him even more excited.
"How did this fire appear? Who discovered it first?" After waiting for a while, the clan leader suppressed his excitement and asked the clan members around him.
Hearing the clan leader's question, everyone looked at the only short figure in the field.
Han Hao was just testing his innate magical power, but was interrupted by the first group of tribesmen who arrived. After being questioned by everyone, he explained the origin of fire to them. It was precisely because of this that the scene that the clan leader saw just now happened.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Han Hao had to stand up and explain to the patriarch again: "Chief, I have seen birds pecking trees to produce sparks. I suddenly remembered this and tried to drill the wood with a stick. Block, I didn’t expect it to actually burst into flames.”
As Han Hao spoke, he showed the sticks and wooden blocks in his hand to the clan leader.
The clan leader stared at Han Hao in disbelief upon hearing this, then took the sticks and blocks he handed over, looked at them carefully, and found that they were just two ordinary pieces of wood.
"Did you use these two pieces of stuff to make a fire?" The clan leader raised the two pieces of wood in his hand and asked again in disbelief.
"Yes, clan leader!" Han Hao nodded affirmatively, "How about I demonstrate it to you again."
At this time, more and more tribesmen came up from all around. The tribe leader looked at the sky that was starting to get darker, suppressed the curiosity and confusion in his heart, and said: "It's getting dark, let's go back to the cave first. Arrive. You can give us a demonstration there."
As the clan leader spoke, he bent down and took matters into his own hands, carefully gathering the firewood that was still burning in the fire and picking it up. At the same time, he did not forget to give instructions to the people around him.
"Come and help, let's move the fire into the cave. By the way, pay attention to putting out the fire." For the clan leader who once owned a fire, he was very aware of the seriousness of fires in the jungle.
After everyone moved the fire to the cave and added more wood until the flames illuminated the entire cave, the clan leader couldn't wait to ask Han Hao to demonstrate to everyone how to drill wood to make fire.
Han Hao did not refuse. Under the enthusiastic gaze of all the tribesmen, he used a wooden stick to drill the wood block again. This time it went very smoothly. In just a moment, a new fire appeared in people's sight again.
"Fire! Fire! Fire!" Seeing Han Hao use two pieces of wood to create flames from scratch, the tribesmen were completely excited. They began to jump happily around the two fires, shouting excitedly.
"Stone! Stone! Stone!"
Then, I don’t know who started it, but someone started cheering Han Hao’s name. Gradually, more and more people responded, and their voices became louder and more enthusiastic.
The appearance of fire made the tribe that had just calmed down become lively for a long time. It was not until the sun completely disappeared and the lunar star once again occupied the midheaven that it gradually became quiet.
The cave looked exceptionally bright and warm under the light of the flames tonight. The tribesmen who had calmed down began to receive their food in an orderly manner.
Today, Han Hao became the first person to receive food, and received twenty or thirty kilograms of good meat and some fine wild fruits.
Holding the meat and wild fruits with a smile on his face, Han Hao immediately came to the fire, used a small stone knife to evenly cut the meat into palm-sized pieces, threaded them together with a long wooden stick, and roasted them directly on the fire. got up.
In just a moment, grease began to emerge from the meat slices, making bursts of "sizzling" sounds under the flames. At the same time, the rich meat aroma made Han Hao and the surrounding tribesmen salivate.
"Oh-hiss-hoo-" After seeing that the meat was almost cooked, Han Hao couldn't wait to tear off a piece and put it into his mouth. He didn't bother to burn his mouth at all, and chewed with satisfaction while inhaling.
Although no seasonings were added, I don't know if it was because of the abundant spiritual energy in the ancient world, but the roasted meat slices tasted surprisingly good, without any fishy smell.
Han Hao swallowed the meat in his mouth with satisfaction. His teenage body tasted the taste of cooked food for the first time. A warm feeling came from his stomach, making Han Hao's whole body and mind float.
"Pah!" Han Hao was squinting slightly, enjoying the taste of barbecue, when he suddenly received a moderate slap on the forehead.
"What are you doing, you brat? Why did you burn the meat?" His mother's slightly angry voice sounded in Han Hao's ears at the same time.
When he raised his eyes, he saw his mother standing behind him with several younger siblings. Their eyes were staring directly at the "sizzling" oily barbecue, and their throats kept squirming.
Although her mother kept swallowing her saliva, her eyes were staring at her angrily.
His mother's reaction made Han Hao a little confused. It wasn't until he accidentally glanced at the tribesmen around him that he saw a trace of regret in their eyes, and then he suddenly realized.
Although the human race occasionally obtained and retained fire in the past, they did not develop the habit of eating cooked food, so they did not understand Han Hao's barbecue.
The fresh meat slices were slowly curled and reduced in size as they were burned in the flames. In their view, it was a sign of not cherishing food. It was only because Han Hao's performance was so outstanding today that no one stopped and questioned him.
"Mom, this is barbecue. The meat cooked this way is more delicious." Han Hao hurriedly explained after reacting. At the same time, he took off a piece of meat and handed it to Ning, "If you don't believe it, try it."
Ning took the piece of meat hesitantly, then frowned and stuffed it into his mouth. After chewing a few times, the expression on his face began to relax, and finally turned into enjoyment.
"Mom, how are you? I didn't lie to you, did I!" Han Hao looked at the change in the expression on Ning's face and asked slightly with satisfaction.
"The meat made this way is indeed more delicious." Ning had no choice but to nod and praise, while not forgetting to take another piece of meat and put it into his mouth.
"Gulu! Mom, brother, I want to eat too." Brother Shan shouted impatiently when he saw his mother's appearance.
Several other children also stared at Han Hao's mother longingly.
"Haha! We have them all, don't worry." As Han Hao said, he distributed the pieces of meat to several people with a smile, while not forgetting to stuff the meat into his mouth.
Seeing Han Hao, mother and son eating happily, people from the surrounding tribesmen began to come over to inquire, and then the first person to learn and try it was born. Gradually, the whole cave was filled with the smell of barbecue.
