Traveling through ancient times: Savages are hungry for food

The sky was turning pale.

Sang Tian had already gotten up and boiled a full bamboo bucket of water.

I haven't taken a shower for a few days and I feel sticky all over and very uncomfortable.

I was so tired last night that I had to get up early to wash today.

……

Water droplets slowly flowed down Sang Tian's hair, swirling and playing on her flawless white skin... The delicate foam and pleasant fragrance of the jasmine soap fell on Sang Tian's delicate skin...

The foam was dispersed by the water with a light steam, flowing along Sang Tian's curvy, slender body and onto the bamboo board...

Sang Tian changed into the square-necked long-sleeved shirt and shorts that Duo had made for her.

After drying my hair, I started washing, skincare, and eating breakfast...

……

Half an hour later, by the river.

All the females participating in the gathering team have been assembled. There are 86 of them in total.

Sang Tian led everyone to the taro field, which was two hours away from the tribe. When they arrived, Sang Tian first demonstrated how to dig out the taro.

Then, the excavation process began in full swing!

Huge, plump taro fruits were dug out of the soil and finally saw the light of day...

There wasn't a single lazy female present; all were diligently pulling the taro. The younger females wiped the dirt off the taro with their hands to make carrying it easier.

The most idle people in the whole place are actually—Peace and Joy…

Two saber-toothed tiger cubs, whining and chasing butterflies...

Not to mention that they had already tasted the sweet and sticky taste of taro yesterday. They were so busy every day that they were eager to have food to eat.

This is especially true for females in mountain tiger gathering teams and spear gathering teams.

Although the Mountain Tiger Collection Team lived in the mountains, surrounded by lush vegetation, they were not as knowledgeable as Sang Tian, who knew so many edible foods. Furthermore, collecting in the same area year after year meant that even the most lush vegetation would eventually be plucked out.

The spear-gathering team was even more of a disaster! Located in the plains, the females usually only dared to wander around the tribe and could not go far. All they could find every day was grass...

The living standard they now have, where they can sweat and dig for food, is what they dream of...

No wonder he works harder than anyone else.

……

Half a day later, it was already noon.

Ninety people only dug up a small half of the taro field, which shows how big the taro field is.

The 90 baskets present were already full, and the remaining ones were piled on the ground.

Lan invited everyone to rest. There were so many taro trees that they had to finish digging them as soon as possible. They wouldn't go back at noon, so they would just barbecue here.

Sang Tian had dug traps nearby when she first arrived, and the largest one even caught a roe deer. But most of the others were pheasants and rabbits. Add in some roasted taro, and it was a pretty good catch.

There's a small spring nearby where groundwater seeps out, so there's no need to worry about water...

Ye's partner He helped everyone to light a big fire and roasted some cleaned taro.

The pheasants and other things were left to Lan and the others, and Sang Tian was only responsible for roasting the silly roe deer.

Baking the whole thing is really time-consuming, and if you are not careful the food will either be undercooked, burnt, or tasteless.

Sang Tian decided to cut it into pieces and grill it on bamboo sticks. Just thinking about it made her drool.

God knows how much Sang Tian wants to eat skewers!

……

First, add all the chopped roe deer meat to the mixture, mix well with ginger, onion, garlic, salt, etc. and marinate for a while. The roasted meat will be more flavorful and have no fishy smell.

Then everyone helped Sang Tian put all the marinated meat on bamboo skewers.

Each of them pinched two handfuls and roasted them over the fire. During the roasting process, they also followed Sang Tian's instructions to brush them with oil.

Then, Sang Tian took out her secret weapon.

Homemade seasoning pack! The main ingredient is cumin. It's specially made for barbecue! Star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, fennel, Sichuan peppercorns, chili peppers, etc. are dried and ground into powder.

Wow, as soon as you open it, you can smell the strong spicy aroma, which makes you unable to stop!

Each person grabbed some and sprinkled it evenly on the roast meat. Even those who were roasting chicken and rabbit grabbed some and sprinkled it on top.

It was so fragrant! The rich aroma of meat and spicy spices filled the entire taro field. This was a large-scale barbecue scene for over ninety people! The rich aroma overwhelmed the entire area...

Sang Tian was the first to taste the barbecue.

The first bite was filled with oily juices, mixed with the strong aroma of spices. The perfect blend of meaty aroma and cumin made Sang Tian's mouth so delicious!

"Yes, that's the smell! Barbecue, mom misses you!"

Seeing Sang Tian immersed in it, everyone couldn't help swallowing and couldn't wait to put their grilled meat into their mouths.

"Wow! It smells so good!"

"What a delicacy! Barbecue can actually be this delicious! What was that thing we ate together?"

"I bow down to you, San, you're amazing! Even roasted tree roots taste delicious once you sprinkle that seasoning on them!"

……

For a moment, everyone was praising Sang Tian.

Even Yun, who had a very poor appetite recently due to pregnancy, ate a lot of barbecue in succession and finally ate a roasted taro.

……

After eating, all the females actively joined in the busy collecting work.

The weather has been much cooler recently, not very hot.

In this way, the group dug taro with full energy. This was the material they depended on for survival, so how could they just let it go and ignore it?

At five in the afternoon, Lan asked everyone to stop and each of them carried a basket of taro and prepared to go back.

By now, most of the taro had been dug up, and we figured we'd be done with it by tomorrow morning. But there was a huge pile of taro on the ground, and we couldn't carry it back yet.

……

In the shade of the woods, Sang Tian and his group came out of the dense forest in a graceful manner, causing the trees in the forest to rustle.

It was already evening when the group arrived at the tribe. All the males in the tribe had returned and were gathering in the square to process their prey.

When they saw them coming back, they all rushed over to take the backpacks.

……

Sang Tian looked towards the shed, his eyes gleaming with wonder. The prey on the ground had piled up like a small mountain!

Guo said excitedly with a beaming face: "Sang! Your hunting method is amazing!

There were about a hundred of us and we had no idea how to start. Then Lei told us to dig a long, deep pit! We thought it was a strange idea, but then, after we finished digging the pit, we covered it with leaves and threw in some food. The prey started jumping out one by one!

Look at our catch today! There are eight Moomon alone! Not to mention the eleven Longhorns and nine Baamon!

We were worried about how to pull the prey back to the tribe. So Cang wove a large basket out of rattan and laid knotty wood at the bottom! It was just a matter of pulling it from the front, which was incredibly labor-saving!

You guys are awesome, I bow down to you, big brother!"

Sang Tian smiled brightly!

"I thought today was the first day of hunting and we had to work hard. But we ended up digging a hole and the prey all came." Ye said embarrassedly.

"You guys have it easy! We only carried a small portion of the taro we dug, the rest are all piled in the field!" Duo said.

"We will start reciting the scriptures at dawn tomorrow! There is really no pressure today. We must do something! Then we can call dozens of brothers to recite them for you!" Han said with a hearty smile.

Sang Tian was beaming! Since someone was carrying her on his back, wouldn't she be happy to see it happen?

……

After processing the prey, the five moo beasts were first distributed to the pregnant family, and then 30 kilograms of meat were given to each of the males who were repairing the cave. Finally, the meat was distributed to the rest of the tribe.

Each person has about 22 kilograms of meat.

Even though it wasn't much, I still received such a large reward today. Thinking about it, I've gained quite a lot!

But that wasn't the case for Longmao and Shanhu! 22 kilograms of meat per person was something they couldn't even imagine! They were so excited that their eyes filled with tears and their faces flushed.

It's like going from the slums to the life of a millionaire in one go...

The tribesmen who got the meat took the meat away happily.

……

After getting the meat, Sang Tian returned to the cave and went to the river with the basket of grapes on her back.

When Shan and Ye returned with the Spear Tribe, they picked all the grapes they found on the vine.

After distributing it to the females in the tribe, the rest were kept in the Sangtian Cave.

I have to make grape jam quickly, otherwise it will go bad.
