Traveling through ancient times: Savages are hungry for food

In the afternoon, Sang Tian was also busy...

Everyone in the tribe needs to go to the open space where the snake was summoned last time.

Lei had always remembered Sang Tian's previous proposal to raise beasts, and it was finally realized today.

Today the hunting team is not out hunting, but only trying to capture...

Moreover, only young beasts can be caught. They are easy to tame and less destructive.

This clearing is only ten minutes away from the tribe.

The stench of animal manure wouldn't reach the tribe, and feeding wouldn't be too far away. Furthermore, the area was large enough to support a large number of animals.

The most important thing is that there are often tribesmen here, so there is no need to worry about large carnivores.

……

Once we arrived, we all started clearing the land. Taller shrubs and small trees had to be cut down.

Then Sang Tian began to divide the area.

Among all the animals that can be bred, there are more medium and large animals.

For example, horse beast, horse-like beast, bleating beast, long-horned beast, silly roe deer, sharp-toothed beast, etc.

Apart from the flat-mouthed beast in the reed marshes, there are currently only three types of small beasts: the cackling beast, the long-eared beast, and the goose beast.

As for crayfish and fish, there's no need to farm them! Every stream and river in this ancient continent is overflowing with fish and shrimp, because no one's catching them! Of course, because of this, fish react very slowly, so as long as you're careful, you can catch them in most cases.

Therefore, most of the space is allocated to medium and large animals, and the remaining small part is reserved for small animals.

There is enough distance between each circle to facilitate separate feeding and avoid mutual interference between groups...

There was a large pile of cut bamboo on the open space, and several old men were sitting on the rocks splitting the bamboo.

The other males picked up the chopped bamboo and began to build a fence around the area circled by Sang Tian.

It is a lot of work. Bamboo poles can be used to make fences for these three small animals, but strong wood is needed to keep the other species out.

Moreover, for a beast like the cuckoo beast, the fence must be made higher and a layer of vine net must be tied on it.

And for animals that dig holes like rabbits, their enclosures should be covered with larger stones to see how they can dig holes.

The male members of the spear hunting team built a fence here, while the mountain tiger hunting team went to the forest on the other side of the river to cut small trees to use as a circle for medium and large animals.

Sang Tian sat aside and weaved a rattan net.

Duo cut the bamboo poles into suitable sizes to build a nest for the little animals later.

The scene is in full swing.

After the small animals' nests were fenced in, the male went to pick up stones, while Sang Tian built frames for the pheasants and geese, and nests for the rabbits.

The rack should be as spacious as possible, and the top shed should be covered tightly to prevent rainwater from leaking in. It should not be too high from the ground, otherwise it will be inconvenient for them to return to their nests.

A bridge also needs to be built between the door edge of the shelf and the ground for them to go home.

As for rabbits, just lay a layer of bamboo on the ground and build a nest.

However, the medium and large animals over there need to build a shed, after all, they are large in size. They can be used for shelter, sleeping, and wind protection.

Three hours later, the shed and the frame were set up, and the wood for Guan Dashou's fence was also delivered.

The females began using bamboo to make troughs for the animals to eat and drink, while the males continued to build wooden fences.

The entire breeding ground is bustling with activity, and the breeding prequel is in full swing...

Many tribesmen only ate some tofu at noon, which did not satisfy their hunger at all.

Many of the tribesmen became hungry while working.

Sang Tian asked Duo, Yin and Lin to go to the river to catch fish to get some food for the working tribesmen.

The fish in this river are of different species. Sang Tian had long noticed that there was a type of fish with two long black whiskers. It was also the largest of the species in this river.

Sang Tian sharpened a harpoon with great skill.

Because the sun's rays refracted in the water, Sang Tian's fork was slightly off target each time he aimed.

This fish is completely black, has no scales, a flat head, and a laterally flattened tail.

Sang Tian touched the fish with his fingers and called the system with his mind.

"Ding, an ancient catfish has been detected. Ancient catfish have flat heads and small eyes. Ancient catfish are highly adaptable and mostly live in freshwater environments such as rivers, lakes, and ponds.

Catfish are carnivorous fish, and their prey includes small fish, shrimps, and aquatic insects.

Ancient catfish were twice as large as modern ones, more aggressive underwater and more powerful. But their meat was also more delicate, firm, and chewy, rich in various nutrients..."

"Ha! It's a catfish!" Catfish have very few bones, and they're all large. The meat is plump, fresh, and delicious. Plus, there's no need to scale it, and the skin is incredibly firm and chewy.

The most classic dish using catfish is pickled fish, but unfortunately there is no pickled cabbage at the moment. Sang Tian decided to try the most classic spicy boiled fish and braised fish.

Sang Tian and Duo Cha Yu, while a group of little ones gathered around the river to dissect and process the fish.

Children in this ancient continent don't actually learn how to dissect prey from a young age. They see it every day from birth. Even if they haven't eaten pork, they've seen pigs run. Over time, they learn it.

It took Sang Tian an hour to catch more than 30 fish before she stopped to prepare cooking.

……

Since you are going to make spicy boiled fish, the first step is to cut the fish into fillets, add egg white, salt, and ginger, mix well and marinate, so that the fish will be more flavorful.

While Duo was marinating the fish fillets, Sang Tian had already started frying the ingredients.

Pour a proper amount of oil into the pot. When the oil is hot, add ginger, garlic, onion, chili and Sichuan peppercorns and sauté until fragrant.

"Sizzle..." As the hot oil was poured into the wok, the aroma was instantly stimulated. The fierce aroma spread to the top of the head and lingered for a long time. Several little guys were slurping their saliva.

……

Then add appropriate amount of water and seasonings. Salt, spice powder, pepper, chili and other seasonings are boiled over high heat. Cook until the fish fillets are 70% cooked, then turn to low heat and simmer.

Finally, sprinkle the fish fillets with garlic sprouts, minced garlic, chili powder, peppercorns, etc. Pour hot oil on them to stimulate the aroma.

A spicy boiled fish is ready.

Sang Tian turned off the fire and covered the pot to prevent it from getting cold.

Then prepare to make braised fish.

First, heat oil in a pan. Add scallions, ginger, and garlic and sauté until fragrant. Sprinkle a layer of salt on the bottom of the pan to prevent the fish from sticking. Add the fish and fry until both sides are golden brown and cooked through.

Then Sang Tian added appropriate amount of sugar and salt, stir-fried evenly, and let the fish pieces be colored and flavorful.

Pour in an appropriate amount of water, cover the pot and simmer over low heat so that the fish pieces can fully absorb the flavor of the soup.

When the soup is thick, sprinkle some garlic sprouts on it as garnish.

……

Several little guys ran to the open space to invite the tribesmen to have a special meal.

The average weight of this fish is 20 kilograms. Even if the internal organs are removed and there is only 15 kilograms left, 30 of them will weigh 450 kilograms.

I think there’s no need to cook dinner. Just heating it up will be enough for the whole tribe!

……

The tribesmen were very excited to learn that Sang Tian had prepared food. They had been hungry for a long time, and the green leaf tofu they had eaten at noon was indeed not filling enough.

Besides, the dishes cooked by Sang are always delicious.

Everyone rushed to the river to scoop up fish to eat...

"Oh my goodness, it's such a shame that the Wolf God can't have these!"

"This smells really good! It's spicy and numbing, and incredibly fresh and fragrant!"

"Sang is such a great cook! Why didn't we realize this water beast was delicious before?"

……

While the group was eating, the hunting team returned.

They only caught live cubs today, so they didn't have to hunt hard and came back early.

Sang Tian could hear the roar of animals from a distance, which grew louder and louder...

Sang Tian looked at the results...

Each male had a few pheasants hanging from his body, a rabbit in each hand, and a bleating beast on his back...

There was also a vine cart pulling a long-horned beast and a silly roe deer cub behind it... The scene was filled with the noise of various small animals, making the sky and the earth shake...

Sang Tian: No, buddy, are you guys out buying supplies?

...The people present were stunned for a moment before they came to their senses, put down their bowls and helped them catch the little animal back to the open area.

Soon after, they returned in a mighty group.

I came here holding the bowl...

Anyway, it’s almost five in the afternoon, so I might as well eat more now and have it all as dinner.

……

The responsibility of feeding the little animals is given to the cubs. For example, the long-eared beast only needs to cut some grass, while the cackling beast and the goose beast only need to add some insects.

As for medium and large animals like sheep and deer that have a large appetite, the elders of the tribe are responsible for feeding them.

As for things like horses and wild boars, they will gradually be fully included in the enclosure...
