I thrived in the primitive tribe

On the morning of the third day, as they had discussed the night before, they set up several fires and took out the leftover meat from the previous day.

After marinating overnight, the meats glistened with an enticing sheen, their color deepening, and the air was filled with a complex aroma of spices and meat, making one's mouth water.

After preparing the ingredients, the group quickly got into their roles and began working together in an orderly manner.

Some people were in charge of grilling the meat. They skillfully skewered the marinated pieces of meat onto the homemade grill, turning them frequently to ensure that each side was heated evenly. Golden oil dripped onto the charcoal fire below, making a sizzling sound, and accompanied by rising smoke, the enticing aroma of the meat became increasingly strong.

The other group was busy cooking wild vegetable and meat soup. They selected fresh wild vegetables, carefully washed and chopped them, and then added them to a large pot that had already boiled. They then slowly added chopped meat, an appropriate amount of water and seasonings, and simmered it over a low flame.

As the temperature rises, the ingredients in the pot gradually blend together, releasing a fresh yet mellow aroma that makes you want to taste it immediately.

Before long, the two distinct fragrances intertwined, like invisible messengers, quietly drifting out of the camp and spreading in all directions.

The aroma, a blend of meat, vegetables, and wood, not only awakened the taste buds of everyone in the camp, but also unexpectedly attracted many people who were preparing to go out in search of food.

"What smells so good?" As the voices rose and fell, more and more people were drawn by the irresistible aroma. They stopped in their tracks and curiously walked towards the source of the fragrance.

"Your barbecue smells amazing, can we trade?" someone asked.

"Sure, we have roasted meat, wild vegetable and meat soup, and flatbread here, all of which can be traded," Lu Yao enthusiastically introduced.

"What can we use to trade with you?" someone in the crowd asked.

"Currently, we don't restrict the type of goods; anything useful can be traded with us. Plant seeds and fruits would be even better," Lu Yao replied loudly.

"Can we use the prey we hunt?" someone asked.

"OK,"

Upon hearing Lu Yao's answer, a commotion arose in the crowd, and then some people began to walk back in the direction they had come from.

[Looks like she went to get something.] Lu Yao thought to herself.

As the meat roasted for a longer time, the rich and enticing aroma seemed to come alive, constantly wafting into everyone's noses and tantalizing their taste buds.

The aroma is a blend of smoky notes from the charcoal fire, the unique flavor of the various spices added during marinating, and the natural freshness of the meat itself. These three elements intertwine to create an indescribable and wonderful experience.

Guided by the aroma, several people could no longer contain their desire and handed over what they were prepared to exchange to Lu Yao, ready to eat it as soon as it was ready and enjoy the moment of satisfaction.

"You can wrap the grilled meat in this flatbread, or dip it in the broth. Both are delicious. Would you like to try some?"

As the gaga biscuits release their unique aroma under the heat of the flames, many people want to try this thing they've never eaten before.

"Give me one."

"I'll have one too."

……

Lu Yao's stall was bustling with activity. They had almost run out of meat, but the people queuing in front of the stall were still very enthusiastic. They held bamboo tubes and drank meat soup, feeling a great sense of superiority as they looked at those who had not yet enjoyed the food.

"Sorry, we're out of marinated meat here. If you still want some, we'll have to use the fresh meat you traded for. Why don't you come back tomorrow?" Lu Yao explained to everyone at the stall.

"How does the grilled fresh meat taste? Is it different from what you grilled before?" asked the person waiting in line.

"The taste is naturally different, but it's still quite good."

"How about you grill a skewer and let us try it first? If it's good, I'll continue to exchange with you, okay?" the man continued.

“That works too.” So Lu Yao and the others cut the fresh meat into small pieces, skewered them on bamboo sticks, and then sprinkled them with special seasoning while grilling. The taste was quite unique.

The group, who were about to leave after hearing that there was no barbecue, were drawn back by the aroma and decided to try it as well.

As a result, the area in front of the stalls became even more lively, and as the sun slowly rose, the number of people queuing up to eat barbecue increased.

The group had only planned to make breakfast, but judging from the way they were doing it, it seemed like people would be waiting to eat barbecue all day long.

[The power of delicious food is truly irresistible.] Lu Yao thought to herself.

It's worth mentioning that when they were buying roast meat and soup, some people thought the earthenware pots they used to cook the soup were quite nice, and they traded away quite a few of their earthenware pots and bowls.

The group worked almost all day until they ran out of seasonings and realized there was no more seasoning for barbecue. Only then did they gradually disperse.

"Wow, that's a seasoning we were planning to use for three days, and it's all gone in just one day! That's incredible!" Jiuli exclaimed in astonishment as he and his tribesmen tidied up the area.

"Yes, we never expected our barbecue to be so popular," someone nearby chimed in.

"This is all thanks to the seasoning developed by Lu Yao; otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people here."

"Yes, yes."

"I think they really like the 'gaga' biscuits we made..."

……

Listening to everyone's discussion and summary of setting up a barbecue stall today, Lu Yao also felt incredible.

"Do we still have any raw materials to make barbecue seasoning?" Just as Lu Yao was feeling wistful, Luo Ya walked up to her and asked in a low voice.

Lu Yao thought about it carefully and said, "It should be enough for tomorrow. I brought so much with me to see if I could exchange it for other things, but I didn't expect to use it all to make barbecue seasoning."

"Isn't it all about exchanging for the resources the tribe needs? Aren't there really any differences?"

"That's what you said."

"How about I go out for a walk in a bit and see if I can find the raw materials you need around here?"

"No need, it's getting late. We still have plenty of meat, so we won't be short of dinner. Why don't we just leave it at that and set it up for another day tomorrow?"

"You're right, it's getting late, and it's really not a good time to go out at night."

Luo Yao looked up at the sky and then decided, "I'll go check now. You guys make dinner first. If I'm not back by the time it's done, you can eat first. I'll be right back after I take a quick look around."

After Luo Ya finished speaking, he strode away, while Lu Yao's hand, which was holding his, remained suspended in mid-air.

[They're moving way too fast! With that kind of drive, they can't succeed at anything!]

"Lu Yao, is Luo Ya going back to his temporary lodgings?" Jiu Li asked, leaning closer.

"No, he said he was going out to see if there were any raw materials that could be used to make barbecue seasoning."

"Now, won't it get dark soon?" Jiuli asked in surprise.

“Yes, I also think we shouldn’t go, it’s not safe, but Loya said he’ll be back as soon as possible, and if he’s not back by the time dinner is ready, we can eat first without waiting for him.”

"Oh, I see. I'll go take a look too. It'll be safer with two people, right?" With that, Jiu Li ran off to find Luo Ya.

The two didn't lower their voices during their conversation, and the clansmen tidying up nearby heard it and comforted Lu Yao.

"Don't worry, they're both very capable, there's nothing to be concerned about."
