In the afternoon, the hunting and gathering teams have not returned yet, and the tribal settlement is peaceful, with the sounds of children crying and adults scolding coming from time to time.
In the tribal cave, the tribesmen who stayed behind were distractedly paying attention to the children playing, while chatting about the work in hand.
Suddenly, a burst of fragrance came from outside the cave, causing them to stop what they were doing.
"What does it smell like? It smells so good!"
"I heard that Yan wanted to try to turn animal offal into food. This scent should come from there. Did they succeed?"
"I just saw that the hunting team sent back a lot of internal organs in advance. They were dirty and smelly. I didn't expect them to smell so good after being treated with inflammation."
"You don't know what Yan is capable of? Let's go and have a look."
…
In a corner of the tribe, the boiling water gurgled in the stone pot on the newly built stove. The unknown animal internal organs in the pot had completely faded from their blood color. It was from this stone pot that the aroma that permeated the entire tribe came.
"Gu~lu! Brother, it smells so good!" In front of the stove, Yuba pulled Yan's legs and tried his best to stand on his toes and look up at the stone pot that was constantly emitting the fragrance.
"You little greedy kid." Yan lowered his head and glanced at Yu, who was jumping anxiously as she was no higher than the stove. He stretched out his hand to touch her little head in a funny way, and cursed softly.
Then he looked at her little mouth that gradually swelled, and was defeated under the innocent and aggrieved eyes. He bent down and comforted: "Okay, don't worry, it's not cooked yet. When it's cooked, you can be hungry." Following you."
Mother Ning glanced at the two of them, smiled slightly, and turned her gaze to the boiling soup in the stone pot again. She couldn't help but swallowed her saliva and sighed: "I didn't expect these dirty and smelly offal to be so fragrant. "
"Big brother is the most powerful." Song wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and flattered him proudly.
"Of course Big Brother is awesome." Shan Heyu, as the main force of today's labor, agreed with Yourongyan.
While he was talking, a sound of footsteps came from far to near. When he looked up, he saw many tribesmen gathering towards this side.
"Yan, what are you doing here? It smells so good."
"Isn't this nonsense? Didn't you look at the internal organs cooking in the pot?"
"Yan, you are so amazing. I really made these internal organs for you."
…
Yan smiled and listened to the tribesmen's chatter, and occasionally responded with a smile. After the internal organs in the pot were cooked and confirmed to be safe again, he nodded to Yu and ordered: "It's almost done, you can pick it up." ."
After hearing Yan's instructions, Yu was already prepared. He quickly took out a large wooden basin, picked up all the cooked offal in the pot and put it into the wooden basin.
As the cooked offal was taken out of the pot, a richer aroma began to spread. Looking at the tribesmen around him who kept swallowing their saliva, Yan smiled slightly and told Yu again: "Cut some and let everyone have a taste. ."
"Okay, brother." Yu Tiantian agreed with a smile, then took out the kitchen knife and cutting board that her brother specially prepared for her, and clumsily cut the internal organs into different pieces.
Yan looked at Yu's poor knife skills, smiled and shook his head, then turned to greet the tribesmen, "Everyone, come over and have a taste."
Upon hearing Yan's greeting, no one in the clan was humble - in fact, the humans at this time didn't know what modesty was at all, and they all went to Yu's place to pick up small pieces of offal and eat it.
"Yeah, it's delicious."
"This offal tastes so good."
"Well, it tastes completely different from barbecue, but it has a different flavor."
…
In the evening, as people who went hunting returned one after another, the tribal settlement slowly began to become noisy under the light of the setting sun.
In a corner of the tribe, the tribe leader, led by several senior tribe officials, were surrounding the newly built stove today, watching and listening to Yan's explanation.
"In order to facilitate the processing of offal, I worked with Shan today to build this stove. It will be more convenient and faster to cook food with it. It can make more food at one time, and can use other cooking methods different from barbecue to process More delicious food.”
Yan said, nodding to Yu who was standing aside, and saw her turning around and holding out a wooden plate from the side, which was filled with various cut offal.
"This is how we used the fire stove and boiled the prepared offal today." Yan pointed to the tray in Yu's hand, "Chief, try it and see how it tastes."
"Haha! I need to give it a try."
"Yes, I was still talking about this in the jungle today, but I have been looking forward to this for a long time."
The clan leader and several team captains had actually learned from the clansmen that Yan's trial production of offal was successful just after they came back, but now when a plate of offal with a rich aroma emanating from it was actually brought to their eyes, they still couldn't help but be excited.
Unlike ordinary tribesmen, they look at problems from the perspective of the entire tribe, have a longer-term perspective, and have a clearer understanding of the tribe's bottlenecks and development plans.
Therefore, they are also more aware of the benefits that adding animal offal to tribal recipes will bring to the tribe.
For the prehistoric human race, because individual strength is not absolutely dominant among the entire prehistoric race, the human race lives in tribes, relying on the power of the group to hunt and obtain food, and also intimidate other surrounding creatures to ensure the safety of the tribe. reproduce.
At the same time, because of the high risk factor in the wild jungle, tribes are not very mobile and basically have fixed settlements and familiar jungle hunting grounds.
Also because of the very dangerous nature of the wild jungle, the activity and hunting radius of each tribe is also very fixed and limited, which places great constraints on the development of the tribe's population.
Because the limited hunting radius determines the upper limit of the human race's ability to obtain food, tribes generally split into new tribes after their population reaches a certain upper limit and look for new settlements in the jungle.
Therefore, in fact, the total population of each tribe of the prehistoric human race has its upper limit, and its overall strength is also restricted by this, and there will be no major breakthroughs, and it has always fluctuated within a certain range.
Now Yan adds animal offal to the tribe's diet, which will greatly increase the total food of the tribe. Because the internal organs of an animal can generally account for one-third to one-quarter of its body weight, which is a huge number.
The increase in the food limit will naturally allow the total population that the tribe can accommodate to exceed the upper limit in one fell swoop, greatly improving the tribe's overall strength and making the tribe's survival in the prehistoric times full of dangers and frequent accidents more secure.
"Well, it tastes very good." The clan leader savored the texture in his mouth that was different from barbecued meat with a satisfied look on his face, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Yan, you really succeeded. The tribe will never forget your great achievements."
"I am also a member of the tribe, and I should do something for the tribe." Yan smiled slightly at the tribe leader's praise and affirmation, and said indifferently.
"Moreover, if Shan Heyu hadn't given me a lot of inspiration and advice during the actual operation today, I might not have been able to complete the task so smoothly."
"The tribe will naturally not forget Shan Heyu's contribution." The clan leader glanced at Yan meaningfully, then turned to Shan Heyu who was standing aside and nodded with satisfaction, saying affirmatively.
