I'm bad and I'm hitting a wall, primitive life requires hard work

The two of them worked together to move the stone pot to the open space.

Nishi Ichiku called over a few children who had played together in the afternoon and asked them to dig some soil around the tribe and pile it on the place where the stone pot was placed, and to pick up some palm-sized stones.

Finally, let Ster find a way to dig a pit next to the stone pot that is slightly smaller than the stone pot.

In the past, when the tribe used large stone pots to cook, they would simply pile firewood around the stone pots and light them to heat them. This was not only time-consuming, but also extremely wasteful of firewood.

This inadvertently created a lot more work to do.

Nishi Ichiki wanted to first build a simple earthen stove on which he could place a stone pot and slowly boil oil.

As for other improvements, there will be plenty of time to make them later.

The work is never done.

If you don’t fry those dried fishes now, they’ll go bad!

After all, I promised the kids this afternoon.

"I don't want to be a person who goes back on his word." Nishi Ichisu muttered.

After explaining the task, Nishi Ichisu walked towards the entrance of the cave.

She wants to find a witch.

As night fell, Wu Yu sat quietly at the entrance of the cave, his hands moving gracefully and skillfully. He was using the faint light of the fire to slowly and methodically sort out the herbs that had been dried during the day.

"Wu." The unique and bright girl's voice sounded.

Wu Yu raised her head, and her eyes happened to meet Xi Yiqi who was standing in front of her: "What's the matter, Xi Yiqi?"

"Wu, can I borrow the clay jar you brought back from Vasa?" Xi Yiqi asked softly.

"Clay jar?" When Wu Yu heard this word, he frowned slightly, put down the herbs in his hand, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, as if he was trying hard to recall the memory of the clay jar.

Isn't the clay jar called this in this different world?

Seeing Wu Yu's reaction, Nishi Ichisu realized that he might not understand, so he explained further: "It's the earthy brown, stone pot-like thing in the basket."

She described it in as much detail as possible, hoping that Wu Yu would understand more clearly what she needed.

Oh! So she was talking about that Ah… Wu Yu thought to herself.

Um, is that thing called a clay pot?

How did she know?

When he left the Washa tribe, Vanik gave him two baskets of items, which included some precious linen clothes and some strangely shaped items.

As two days had already been wasted and everyone was in a hurry to bring the salt back to the tribe, he did not carefully inquire about the uses and names of these items. He just hurriedly expressed his gratitude and set off immediately.

How could a child who had never been to the Washa tribe know something that he himself didn't know?

Could it also be the teachings from Mother Nature?

Why was the blessing she received so different?

But it's quite interesting...

Wu Yu touched his chin with his bony hands and agreed without hesitation: "Of course."

He couldn't help but feel curious - what was she going to do with this earthen jar?

A hint of surprise flashed in Xi Yiqi's eyes. After thanking Wu Yu, he turned around and asked Siduo Amao to take out the earthen jar from the storage cave.

Return to the tribe's clearing.

Nishi Ichisu checked the pile of earth that the children had just dug and the small stones they had picked up, and nodded secretly in his heart.

The children did a very good job of "working". The pile of earth was dug to just the right size and the stones were stacked neatly.

"You did a great job. Soon we will have not only delicious and crispy dried fish, but also delicious fried dough sticks!" He touched the children's heads.

Ah!

After washing my hair, it is not oily at all.

"Great!" The children happily gathered around, looking at Nishi Ichi with their big expectant eyes.

I saw her gently pick up a bowl of water and carefully mix a little into the pile of soil, fearing that adding too much or too little would affect the next steps.

Then, she used her dexterous hands to evenly pile the soil around the hole she had just dug, slowly shaping a small and exquisite low wall.

A closer look revealed that the low wall was in a perfect "U" shape, with the gap being the opening for adding firewood. She then firmly embedded the small stones carefully selected by the children into the inner side of the mud wall, carefully pasting them in a circle, and then placed some large stones on top to provide support.

The stones and mud walls fit tightly together, which not only allows the firewood to burn more vigorously, but also enhances the load-bearing capacity of the small earth mound, ensuring that it will not be easily crushed by the stone pot above.

After roughly completing the production, she did not stop what she was doing immediately.

Instead, she pressed hard on the wall of the earthen stove with her hands, as if trying to make the pile of earth more solid.

At this moment, her eyes were focused and determined.

You're done!

She stood up with satisfaction, looking at the simple earthen stove in front of her, feeling a little sense of accomplishment in her heart!

The children also tilted their heads curiously, staring at this strange "little mound" intently, their minds full of questions: How on earth is Sister Xiqi going to make something delicious with this thing?

When Nishi Ichisu saw their expressions, he couldn't help but smile mysteriously.

Get ready to be shocked by Chinese kids’ favorite fried food!

She and Ster worked together to lift the heavy stone pot and placed it steadily on the earthen stove.

The earthen stove was slightly lowered due to the weight of the stone pot, but it could still barely hold up.

Nishi Ichisu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Good stove, the pressure you endure today is for your bright future!

So dry!

First, Xi Yiqi placed some flammable firewood and dead leaves in the cave, and then ignited them with flint. A raging flame instantly burned and illuminated the surroundings.

Next, gently open the leaves wrapped in animal fat and carefully wash them with the water just scooped out from the big stone pot.

Then she used a sharp stone knife to cut the fat into small pieces and gently put them into the stone pot.

Start boiling!

There are two common methods for making animal oil: steaming and boiling.

After careful consideration, Nishi Ichisu decided to use the boiling method because this method is relatively simpler, does not require the use of other complicated tools, and is very suitable for the current situation.

As the firewood continued to burn, the fat in the stone pot began to make a sizzling sound.

The oil in the animal fat layer was gradually boiled out, emitting a unique and rich aroma that permeated the entire open space of the tribe.

"It smells so good~" the children came over.

"You have to wait a while." Nishi Ichisu asked the children to stand further away, worried that the oil would splash and burn them.

Since the temperature of the fire is much lower than the high temperature of gas in modern society, the cooking time will be longer.

Nishi Ichisu: System, system! Come out and chat.

After calling it several times in my mind, the system still did not appear.

Is the Do Not Disturb mode really on?

(System: I am a very obedient person!)

As time passed, oil residue gradually formed, like golden amber, crystal clear, exuding an attractive fragrance, which permeated the open space of the entire tribe.

From time to time, curious tribesmen would come to see what the next witch was doing.

"Xixi, what are you doing?"

"I'm making animal oil." Xi Yiqi patiently answered every member of the tribe.

"What is animal fat?"
