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

"Xixi..." Nimei's voice hesitantly broke the silence between the two.

"What's wrong?" Nishi Ichisu turned around and looked at Nimi.

"Can these wild vegetables be eaten raw? The tribe has finally filtered out a little water. It would be a waste if we use it to cook the wild vegetables."

Ni Mei held the freshly washed wild vegetables in her hand and expressed her thoughts with some worry.

Nishi Ichisu frowned and fell into deep thought.

This……

This question stumped her!

She had indeed tasted this wild vegetable, and its taste was very similar to modern Chinese cabbage, but she always cooked it when she ate it!

Although most vegetables can be eaten raw, there are some that do not taste good or cannot be eaten raw.

In this strange world, faced with these unfamiliar plants, she couldn't give a definite answer.

After all, it is a very stupid approach to directly apply the conclusions drawn from modern society to this continent in another world.

Looking down at the wild vegetables in the basket, Nishi Ichisu thought for a moment and said, "Nimi, you should cook the wild vegetables. I'll help you."

Since he decided to help with cooking, Nishi Ichisu wanted to make the food taste as good as possible.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered that the tribesmen basically ate with their hands.

It is better to do it on the day you choose -

Why not take this opportunity to change the eating habits of our people?

She walked lightly to the pile of firewood, carefully picked out a few straight and slender branches, and with the strength of both hands, she broke them neatly into two pieces. In this way, a pair of simple "chopsticks" was born.

Holding chopsticks, Nishi Ichisu walked towards Yuki who was washing vegetable leaves and said with a smile:

"Youxi, could you please do me a favor?"

Youxi looked up flattered and looked at Xi Yiqi in disbelief - Wu would actually take the initiative to talk to him!

A surge of joy surged in her heart, and she quickly nodded and agreed: "Of course... Wu Xiqi, what do you need me to do?"

Nishi Ichisu handed her the chopsticks in his hand and said softly, "Can you help me fold a bunch of these small sticks? Choose thin branches, try to make them of the same length, and avoid bending them."

Youxi shyly stretched out her hands, carefully took the two small wooden sticks, and whispered, "Okay."

Then she handed the washed wild vegetables to the people around her and turned to look for branches in the firewood pile.

Nishi Ichisu looked at Youxi's back and sighed in her heart: During the previous knitting sessions, she found that although Youxi was a little shy and not good at speaking, she was a girl who was dexterous, worked carefully and meticulously, and had extremely neat movements.

It is most appropriate to entrust this task to Youxi. Although it seems to be a trivial matter, "chopsticks" are useless if even one of them is bent.

"Xixi, the wild vegetables have been washed." Nimei pointed to the wild vegetables beside her.

The washed wild vegetables were neatly stacked in the basket, green and tender, with crystal raindrops on them.

"Okay, Nimi, give me some salt, and bring all the stone bowls, and uh... some big leaves."

Nishi Ichiki was a little worried that there were not enough stone bowls in the tribe.

She first filled the stone pot half full of water and placed it over the blazing fire.

Then, a basket of washed wild vegetables was poured into the pot.

The collecting team brought back a lot of wild vegetables, so we can barely eat half full tonight.

Next, Nishi Ichisu took out a stone bowl, beat four or five eggs into it, added a little salt, and stirred it evenly with a small wooden stick.

While the water in the pot was boiling, she slowly poured the egg liquid into the stone pot.

The deep yellow egg liquid quickly spread out in the boiling water like a blooming flower, turning into light yellow egg flowers that gently float on the soup.

Gradually, an enticing fragrance wafted out and penetrated into the nostrils of every hungry tribe member.

Everyone gathered around involuntarily, staring at the stone pot intently, their eyes full of anticipation.

It's almost done.

Nishi Ichiki held the earthenware jar and scooped a large spoonful of animal oil into the pot.

After a while, the soup in the pot began to boil, emitting billowing hot steam and exuding an enticing aroma.

Nishi Ichisu took a quick bite first: Wow, it smells so good.

I haven't had egg and vegetable soup for a long time. Fortunately, this simple soup does not require any seasoning, so the taste is not much different from what we drink nowadays, and it even has the unique fragrance of wild vegetables.

After finishing the soup in my hand,

Nishi Ichisu filled the dozen or so stone bowls handed to him by Nimei with egg drop and wild vegetable soup, and then arranged the stone bowls neatly in rows.

Finally, place the "chopsticks" made by Youxi on each stone bowl one by one.

Everyone looked at the food arranged in a row with curiosity.

Nishi Ichiki said, "This is egg drop vegetable soup. You can drink it directly. The vegetables in it need to be picked up with these two small wooden sticks, which are 'chopsticks' to eat."

As she spoke, she picked up a bowl of vegetable soup and showed everyone how to use "chopsticks".

Her movements were very skillful, and she picked up the leaves steadily and put them into her mouth.

The tribesmen smelled the food and were already drooling. They couldn't wait to reach into the stone pot and grab a few pieces of wild vegetables to enjoy.

Seeing Nishi Ichiki eating with gusto while holding two sticks, they couldn't help but murmur, "Why? Can't you just use your hands?"

Nishi Ichisu shook his head, handed the chopsticks to Nimi, and asked her to try it, while explaining to everyone:

"There are a lot of bacteria on our hands, just like the dirty impurities in stream water. If we don't wash our hands for a long time or eat with our hands, we will bring the bacteria into our stomachs and eventually get sick, just like what happened to Ster, who had unbearable abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea."

"So that's how it is. Then, Wu Xiqi, will it be impossible to eat with chopsticks?" someone asked.

"Of course not, but washing your hands and using chopsticks to eat will be cleaner and can help you avoid getting sick from eating dirty things. In addition, wash the bowl and chopsticks every time you finish eating."

"This sounds too troublesome." The tribesmen looked embarrassed after hearing this.

“That’s what Mother Nature told me.”

Seeing that his tribesmen were somewhat unhappy, Xi Yiqi had no choice but to use his trump card.

If she had a golden finger for traveling through time, then the biggest "golden finger" was her lies and the primitive people's awe of nature.

Sure enough, although it was troublesome, everyone did it.

“It’s so hard to use…”

"Ouch, it fell!"

The tribesmen who picked up "chopsticks" for the first time seemed a little flustered and not quite used to it.

Some people took several tries before they could finally pick up the food, with expressions of frustration and reluctance on their faces.

Nishi Ichisu couldn't help but smile when he saw these interesting scenes.

Chinese culture is broad and profound. Just this pair of small "chopsticks" is a lot to learn~

She turned around and saw that Xi Yi had quickly mastered the use of chopsticks and was drinking the soup and eating the vegetables skillfully.

Well, my brother is really smart, just like me!

[I only agree with the first half of the sentence]

Nishi Ichisu: You just agree, huh?

System: I was careless.

Nishi Ichisu: Tongzi, did you turn on the Do Not Disturb mode just now? How come I haven't seen you for so long?

[Hmm... I'm absorbing energy], the system was indeed shut down to absorb the energy from yesterday.

Nishi Ichiki: Why did it take so long? Maybe the system is too old and can’t even absorb the energy well.

【I want you to take care of it! 】

Nishi Ichiki grinned, stopped teasing the system, and came back to look at the rough "chopsticks" in everyone's hands.

Well, we have to wait until the rain stops and make some durable chopsticks out of wood.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at the patriarch's waist...
