Traveling through ancient times: Savages are hungry for food
Chapter 18: Cave Renovation
Sang Tian asked everyone to split the bamboo first. The bamboo spread on the ground was split into 4 sections, and the bamboo used for making furniture was split into 6 sections.
Of course, some complete bamboo poles should be left to serve as the main support frame.
Yong and Cang both have sharp bone knives. Although they are not as sharp as modern steel knives, with their powerful strength, they can easily cut down bamboo.
But Duo's bone knife didn't work, so Sang Tian temporarily lent her his machete.
Sang Tian took out four 1.4-meter-long bamboo poles that she had cut in advance, and cut a three-fifths groove in each of them at 1 meter. In short, she must not cut them through.
Used for inlaying bamboo.
Without a handy tool like nails, she could only rely on the wisdom of her ancestors - the mortise and tenon structure to connect the frames, although hers was a simple version...
After cutting grooves on four bamboo poles, Sang Tian took out two 1.5-meter bamboos to make the width of the bed, and two 2-meter bamboos to make the length of the bed.
After gesturing, Sang Tian slightly adjusted the size of the groove, placed the four main trunks in position, and embedded the bamboos of the width and length of the bed into them respectively.
At this point, the large frame of a bed has been completed.
Sang Tian also cut eight wider grooves on the bamboo on the left and right sides of the bed, and inlaid the split bamboo horizontally.
Then cut dense grooves in the bamboo at the head and foot of the bed, and inlay the bamboo vertically into the grooves.
Such a simple bamboo bed was made, and Sang Tian used the skin of a prickly animal to polish the bamboo smooth to prevent it from pricking the flesh.
Then fold the outer part of the thorny armor's fur in half, exposing the fat inside and spread it on the bamboo bed. Although it is hard, it will not be scratched by the bamboo. Then cover it with a layer of deerskin to make it softer.
It wasn't difficult, but two hours later, the three people in the cave had already paved the ground with bamboo, leaving no corner untouched.
Cang and Yong moved the bamboo bed in.
Sang Tian was afraid that it might not be strong enough, so he cut four 1-meter-long bamboo tubes and placed them tightly under the bamboo bed to make it safer.
Duo was the first to sit on it and try it out: "Oh my god, Sang, this bed you made is so comfortable and it doesn't get damp. How come you are so smart in everything?"
As he said this, he rolled over comfortably on the bed.
Later, Yong and Cang also tried it one by one and they both thought it was very good. They said they would make one themselves in the future.
Looking at the smooth green floor, Sang Tian felt much more comfortable. There was a faint fragrance of bamboo in the air.
Then Sang Tian started making tables and cabinets.
Sang Tian handed the cabinet over to Cang and Yong to complete. She drew a picture of the cabinet. After all, they had just watched her make the bed. Even if they couldn't figure it out themselves, Sang Tian believed they could do it. It really wasn't difficult.
I and Duo started making a table.
I found three 1.5-meter bamboo poles and arranged them into a triangle to make a rack.
After all, triangles are stable.
Then it was time to cut the grooves and join the pieces together. It was done in 40 minutes.
Cang and Yong had only completed half of the work because the cabinet was 1.8 meters long and the workload was heavy. Sang and Duo also joined in to help.
An hour later the cabinet was finished.
Seeing that it was already four o'clock in the afternoon and there was no time to make stools, Sang Tian had to spread animal skins on the ground as a carpet, and brought autumn pears and green dates for everyone to sit down and rest and eat.
Suddenly, there was a burst of noisy noise outside.
Several people hurried out to take a look.
It turns out the hunting team has returned. Why are they here so early today?
Sang Tian was shocked when he saw the prey on the vine cart behind him.
The cart was full of bison and no other animals.
The bison of ancient tribes were not like modern bison.
Modern bison are enormous, ranging from 200 to 300 centimeters in length, about two meters in height, and weighing between 2 and 600 kilograms. Their horns are large, sharp, and curved. Some have a white spot on the upper forehead.
This ancient bison was dark brown, with sharp, curved horns. It stood four meters tall and four to five meters long. As massive as a small building, it exerted immense pressure. The hair on its back had grown a thick layer of algae from years of accumulation. Even a minor could weigh as much as 3000 kilograms.
In short, it is a terrifying animal that combines strength, wildness, power, and barbarism.
There are about 13 in a car.
The vine cart was much larger than the one from yesterday. It was obvious that the hunting team was having a hard time pulling it. So everyone in the square rushed over to help.
Cang and Yong were the first to go down to help, followed by Duo and Sang.
The square was bustling with people at this time.
All the adult males went to help pull the bison. It was extremely difficult for 10 tribesmen to lift a single bison.
It took 40 minutes to unload the goods in the square.
After listening to Shan's explanation, I realized that they had heard from Sang Tian that this trap method was more suitable for capturing animals that live in groups.
So we planned to go directly to the Moo Beast Grassland. Because Moo Beasts are really difficult to hunt, their population has been extremely prosperous in recent years, and they have no natural enemies, which has led to an infestation.
The original plan was to only do this one thing, so a giant pit 50 meters wide and eight meters deep was dug, and several elm trees were used to connect the branches.
Put in almost the entire grassland the best fresh grass, fresh wood branches, bark, twigs, leaves, roots, sap, fruits, fungi and so on.
Since they are only hunting this kind of animal, there is no need to set traps everywhere, so it takes too long to dig the pit, load the pit, and pull it back.
That's why I came back so early today.
The leader then calls on the males to start dissecting the prey, while the females prepare to cook.
Today is another big pot meal.
After all, ever since Sang Tian came, the tribe has always had abundant harvests, so there is no need to worry about not having enough food during the snow season.
It just so happened that the females in the tribe didn't know how to use the freshly collected peppercorns and chilies, so this was a good opportunity to teach them.
Sang Tian planned to make stir-fried beef and boiled beef, and then make water celery beef soup.
Other tribesmen have also started preparing for the barbecue.
Yong knew that she was going to cook three dishes, so he found two large stone pots from somewhere and had several males carry them back.
Sang Tian first prepared ingredients such as beef, salt, ginger, peppercorns, dried chili peppers, wild garlic and leek segments.
Wash 50 catties of beef and slice it into slices. The slices should be as thin and even as possible so that they are easier to cook and have a better taste when stir-fried.
Heat the wok with cold oil. Once the oil is hot, add the beef and stir-fry until it changes color. Mastering the heat, stirring and seasoning the beef appropriately will create a delicious stir-fried beef.
At the same time, the heat should not be too high when stir-frying, so as to avoid the surface of the beef becoming burnt and affecting the taste.
Add chopped ginger, minced wild garlic, and dried chilies and stir-fry evenly.
Add appropriate amount of salt and pepper, stir-fry until cooked. Finally, sprinkle with leek segments and stir-fry a few times to enhance the flavor.
A pot of stir-fried beef is ready.
Next is the boiled beef.
Cut 50 kilograms of beef into thin slices, add a little salt, minced ginger, minced wild garlic, peppercorns and chili peppers, and mix it with your hands.
Then, add the egg whites from the pheasant eggs that the leader and Yu's son Lin had just brought back, and mix them in with your hands to allow the meat to absorb the egg whites and prevent the moisture from escaping easily. Then leave it for about ten minutes. Of course, the longer it marinates, the more flavorful the meat will be.
Then add appropriate amount of butter to the pot, add dried red chili peppers after the oil is hot, and keep pouring hot oil on the peppercorns and chili peppers until the peppers turn dark red and the peppercorns are fried crispy.
Remove the marinated beef slices and drain the oil. Add minced ginger and leek segments to the oil in a pan, add a little salt, and stir-fry over high heat until cooked.
Then, pour the hot lard of dried chili peppers and ginger that Sang Tian had been frying on the side over the beef slices until they are completely coated. Once the beef is set, slowly push it in.
After the beef is fully cooked, sprinkle it with the freshly fried chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, minced garlic, and minced wild garlic, and finally drizzle with a spoonful of hot oil.
With a "sizzling" sound, the aroma of beef, chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, etc. fully blooms, creating a feast for the sense of smell.
At this time, the tribesmen were all gathered around the stone pot. They were either greedy because it smelled so good, or they wanted to learn how to make it. There were countless people who did both.
Then Sang Tian ran to the third pot to prepare water celery beef soup.
Add chili powder, Sichuan pepper powder, ginger powder, wild garlic segments and leek segments to the hot oil.
When the oil is fragrant, pour in the beef and stir-fry until the beef is golden brown, pour in water.
After the hot soup boils, add salt, then pour in the water celery and wood ear mushrooms.
When the beef is 90% cooked, sprinkle with chili powder and Sichuan peppercorns.
Finally, sprinkle in chive segments for decoration.
At this moment, all three dishes are ready.
Sang Tian jumped off the battle platform built by Yong with sweat all over his head.
Lan, Yun and Yu were responsible for scooping out three dishes for the tribe members to work on.
Sang Tian was a little shocked by this scene. Every member of the tribe was now influenced by Sang Tian and had three bowls in their hands, and most people broke branches to make chopsticks.
There were about twenty people standing in line in front of each dish.
Each person received two pounds of roast beef. The ones roasting the beef were Duo's parents, Shan and Yin, who had also marinated it in advance, imitating Sang Tian's example, using ginger, green peppers, and other ingredients.
During the roasting process, sprinkle chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, etc.
The taste of the roasted ones is also not bad.
Sang Tian could sense the subtle changes in the tribe since her arrival.
The food is great needless to say.
For example, regardless of gender, age or status, they all tied their hair up and used the soap taught by Sang Tian to wash their faces and take a bath. Sometimes, when Sang Tian walked over, he could faintly smell the fragrance of flowers.
For example, everyone in the tribe would hang a bamboo kettle around their waist regardless of whether they were going out or not, and they would all use stone bowls to eat.
Everyone started cooking and making soup with the seasoning plants discovered by Sang Tian.
This feeling is amazing.
A person who grew up in modern technology and intelligence traveled back to ancient times when productivity was low, and used the knowledge he learned in modern times to slowly change the ancient people...
I also feel a little bit proud of myself.
In the evening, all the food was eaten up and the elders in the tribe were grilling meat in full swing.
Everyone sat by the campfire and chatted.
But then the originally relaxed atmosphere was changed by Shan's words...
