I'm involved in poverty alleviation in a primitive tribe.

The chief followed behind and emphasized again that the method of making the product must not be leaked.

He clearly valued this production method highly, considering it a precious asset of his tribe.

Next, he had the others in the tribe learn how to make it. They first needed to learn how to use various tools and materials before they could begin making it.

Jiang Ning patiently taught them each step of the production process and even made some templates for them so they could continue practicing when they got back.

She also made many different templates based on different sizes, since everyone's feet are different sizes.

After seeing off his tribesmen, Jiang Ning returned to his cave, brought out the animal skin he used for sleeping, and placed it next to the fire.

Winter is here, and the weather is getting colder and colder.

To conserve firewood, everyone sleeps together in winter. This not only keeps them warm but also reduces fuel consumption, saving resources for the entire tribe.

Baiya ran happily back from outside; it was the first time it had ever seen the beauty of snow. It excitedly rolled around in the snow, enjoying the coolness and joy brought by the snowflakes.

As a siris, Baiya has a thick coat of fur, so it's not afraid of the cold. It thoroughly enjoyed the sudden snowfall, rolling around in the snow from time to time, leaving behind adorable trails.

As Baiya entered the cave, it immediately noticed the animal hide nest next to the fire. It sniffed and recognized a familiar scent—Jiang Ning's scent.

So, Baiya quickly ran into Jiang Ning and its den, found its nest, and then carefully picked it up and carried it out of the den. It went to Jiang Ning's bedside and placed the nest next to her.

Jiang Ning couldn't help but laugh at Bai Ya's actions. Her laughter was so sudden that it puzzled Bai Ya.

It raised its head and stared at Jiang Ning with its clear, large eyes, as if asking her why she was smiling so happily. Jiang Ning affectionately patted Baiya's head and explained, "Baiya, you are so lovable."

Stone and Meatball don't sleep here. They are adults and have been around for a long time. They are huge, with a length of four meters.

Therefore, the cave seemed rather small for them, unable to accommodate their enormous bodies.

Moreover, Tianlang is not afraid of the cold; Baiya is only clinging to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning began preparing dinner for the day. In winter, everyone stayed huddled in the cave and didn't get much exercise. To conserve food, they only ate breakfast and dinner each day.

Using the bone broth in the pot, Jiang Ning chopped some dried meat and added it, along with some taro and dried wild vegetables. These ingredients added texture and nutrition to the soup. Since the dried meat itself contained enough salt, she didn't add any extra salt, preserving the original flavor of the soup.

The aroma of the meat broth was irresistible, whetting everyone's appetite. Jiang Ning and her family sat around the fire, and in the cold winter, a bowl of steaming hot meat broth warmed them up completely.

Days passed by, and one morning at breakfast, Wu suddenly sighed.

Jiang Ning noticed his sigh and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Wu replied somewhat helplessly, "I haven't had fresh meat in a long time. Every day it's taro soup, yam soup, and roasted sweet potatoes. My mouth is getting bland."

Hearing this, Jiang Ning and Qingpan both laughed. Qingpan pretended to pat Wu's head, warning him, "You should be grateful to have anything to eat! You used to go hungry in the winters! How could you possibly have a full stomach every day!"

Wu quickly dodged away and laughed too. He knew Qingpan was right; in the past, they had always had enough water to drink in winter.

Unlike now, they can feed him well every day. Although fresh ingredients are scarce in winter, they still try their best to make all kinds of delicious food to make him happy.

"I really want to eat pickled fish! In this cold winter, how wonderful it would be to have a pot of sour and spicy pickled fish!" Wu exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Pu Ye shook her head and said, "Go ahead and eat. The Tianlang River is frozen over. Where would we get fish to make you sauerkraut fish?" In this cold season, it's almost impossible to find fresh fish.

Wu sighed, realizing the problem. He closed his eyes, imagining the taste of pickled fish. The sour and spicy flavor made his mouth water; he could even smell the enticing aroma.

He decided that once the weather got warmer, he would definitely make a delicious sauerkraut fish dish to satisfy his taste buds.

He imagined himself sitting by the fire, holding a delicious pickled fish in his chopsticks, the sour and spicy flavor lingering in his mouth, making him unable to resist taking bite after bite.

Jiang Ning smiled as she watched him greedily eat. She thought for a moment and said, "Actually, if you really want to eat pickled fish, there is a way."

Wu's eyes lit up when he heard this. He asked, somewhat incredulously, "Really? How do I do it?"

Jiang Ning smiled mysteriously: "You'll find out soon enough."

With nothing to do lately while holed up in the cave, Jiang Ning has been cramming on various knowledge on the system. She even learned how to weave fishing nets by watching videos. Unfortunately, she doesn't have suitable materials to practice with.

Finally, she made a huge fishing net out of tough vines and ironwood, because the fish here were too big.

Jiang Ning instructed Qingpan and Wu to summon all the warriors in the tribe who wanted to eat fish. In winter, foragers would occasionally appear in the sky, and it was unrealistic for the few people in his own family to safely fish from the Tianlang River.

Qingpan and Wu quickly went to inform the other soldiers. Soon, all the soldiers gathered at the entrance of Jiang Ning's house, armed with their weapons.

Jiang Ning was genuinely startled. She asked in surprise, "Why are there so many people? Did you bring the entire tribe?"

“Yes! Jiang Wu, I heard you’re planning to go fishing. Since we have nothing else to do, we might as well come and join in the fun. If we all come together, we’re sure to catch more fish!” the chief said with a smile.

Jiang Ning laughed after hearing this. She hadn't expected everyone to be so enthusiastic. She said playfully, "With such a big fuss, what am I going to do if I don't catch any fish?"

"How could that be? There's nothing Jiang Wu can't do!"

"That's right! Jiang Wu can do everything very well!"

Jiang Ning was touched by the trust everyone placed in her.

"Alright, soldiers, take your weapons and come with me to the Sky Wolf River. The rest of you, don't go, it's dangerous."

"OK then."

As everyone knows, the Tianlang River is a tranquil place that freezes into ice during the winter.

But cracks and dangers lurk everywhere on the ice. These cracks may be hidden in the seemingly solid ice, and one careless step could lead to falling into the icy river.

Beneath the surface, the river flows swiftly, concealing whirlpools and reefs. Various ferocious water monsters roam the river, constantly searching for food to survive. These beasts may suddenly emerge from the river's depths at any moment, attacking any creature that inadvertently approaches.

Furthermore, the area around the Sirius River is not a safe place either. In the harsh winter, the wild animals in the forest become even more ferocious and hungry. They might attack uninvited guests in their search for food.

Therefore, she only took the soldiers with her. Everyone understood that this was out of concern and protection for them.
