There is always something to eat me
Chapter 26
Bai Yuan secretly looked at Long Ting, thinking of the terrifying aura that erupted from Long Ting before, he still felt in shock.He couldn't figure it out, no matter how talented Long Ting was, he was just a brat, how could his aura be so terrifying that even he felt creepy?
If he hadn't experienced it himself, he would never believe it.
At this moment, Long Ting raised his head in dissatisfaction, and glared at Bai Yuan in displeasure, his heart burst into anger—he knew that this Bai Mao wanted to steal Gu Jia from him!
Contemptuously looking Bai Yuan's whole body up and down, Long Ting let out a sulking breath from his nose in disdain.This white hair is not as good as him anywhere, and he dared to rob Gu Jia from him. He really overestimated his capabilities. If he was in his prime, he would have crushed this white hair to death with a single finger.
But just when Long Ting was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he saw Gu Jia smiling at Bai Yuan.Seeing Gu Jia's smile, Long Ting's fur exploded with anger, feeling extremely annoyed.How could he have forgotten that Gu Jia is just an ignorant country bumpkin, who hooked up with any orc and left!
Seeing that Bai Yuan was looking at Gu Jia straightly, Long Ting felt even more unhappy.He gritted his teeth, stared at Bai Yuan for a while, and wanted to yell at him again, but at this moment, Gu Jia shot him mercilessly with cold eyes!
"Uh!" Long Ting was frightened by Gu Jia, and the prepared roar got stuck in his throat, and his voice changed its tone.
Gu Jia rolled her eyes speechlessly, and asked Bai Yuan politely: "Did Sun Dawu tell me when to go over?"
Bai Yuan immediately said: "The great witch hopes to see you as soon as possible."
In other words, Gu Jia has to go now.
Gu Jia smiled and nodded: "Then let's go." He looked at Bai Yuan secretly, feeling very uncertain in his heart, but kept his face calm, afraid that Bai Yuan would find out.
Seeing that he was going to follow Bai Yuan, Long Ting instinctively wanted to follow, for fear that Gu Jia would be seduced by Bai Yuan and go away.Only when he took a step, Gu Jia turned his head, looked at him coldly, and ordered unceremoniously: "You stay at home, don't run around!"
Long Ting was dissatisfied: "Why should I stay at home?"
But Gu Jia didn't intend to be polite to him at all: "If you dare to run out, you don't have to come back." This was so merciless that even Bai Yuan couldn't help frowning when he heard it. Gu Jia looked at him approvingly.
Despite the harsh conditions of the bobcat tribe, abandoning cubs has a bad reputation.
However, although Bai Yuan disagreed, he didn't say anything.
Long Ting glared at Gu Jia angrily, snorted dissatisfiedly, then suddenly turned his head and rushed into the room.Seeing him go in, Gu Jia said to Bai Yuan, "Let's go."
Afraid of delaying Sun Dawu's affairs, Bai Yuan quickly took Gu Jia away.On the way, he hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't help but said: "Cubs are playful, don't be as knowledgeable as him."
This is an intercession for Long Ting.
Gu Jia looked at him in surprise, and smiled mockingly: "It has nothing to do with me anyway, why should I know as much as him?"
Although he had already decided to separate from Long Ting, but what he did just now was not to bully Long Ting.Although the Shanmao tribe is just a small tribe, Long Ting doesn't pay much attention to the so-called big witch, but he has to guard against him when he arrives for the first time - who knows if the big witch Sun will recognize Long Ting, the wanted criminal? ?
He still doesn't know how to go back. In this world where murderers are everywhere, his ability to protect himself is limited. Once he offends the ultimate boss of the mainland, he may have to be reincarnated.
It's just these inside stories, but it's impossible to explain them to Bai Yuan.
Bai Yuan felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Gu Jia's words. Gu Jia's words just now were too cold and heartless.It took him a while to remember that Long Ting was not Gu Jia's cub, and it was normal that Gu Jia refused to raise him.
Even an orc might not be able to raise a cub, let alone an unmarried non-orc like Gu Jia.
As soon as he thought about it, Bai Yuan blushed, and looked at Gu Jia with a bit of guilt.Gu Jia saw his reaction in his eyes, his eyes lit up slightly, and then he asked: "What kind of person is Sun Dawu?"
Bai Yuan felt guilty towards Gu Jia, and without thinking much, he answered Gu Jia's question: "He is the most powerful witch in the history of the Shanmao tribe! If it weren't for him, the Shanmao tribe would not have the scale it is now, let alone impossible. Live the good life now."
Gu Jia couldn't help but glanced at him, so this is a good day?How miserable was the Lynx tribe before?
"Then he is really amazing." Gu Jia boasted casually, and then asked the question he was most concerned about, "Bai Yuan, do you know why Sun Dawu wants to see me?"
Bai Yuan smiled heartily: "It's nothing, the Dawu just heard that you came to the tribe and wanted to meet you in person. If it hadn't been raining yesterday, the Dawu would have seen you yesterday."
"So that's how it is." Gu Jia smiled and understood everything in her heart.
He just came to the tribe yesterday, and that Sun Dawu wanted to see him, so the news was too well-informed.Presumably, the Great Witch Sun had already asked Bai Yuan yesterday.That Sun Dawu is so cautious, it seems that he has to be careful when we meet later.
Thinking of this, Gu Jia suddenly rejoiced.If he hadn't been smart enough to let Long Ting stay at A Qiu's house on purpose, when that sorcerer Sun Yue met Long Ting, maybe he would really be able to see something!
He didn't continue to ask, afraid of making too many mistakes and causing Bai Yuan to notice.While looking at the situation along the way calmly, Gu Jia rejoiced in his heart—thanks to the fact that he had miraculously learned the language of this world after seeing Bai Yuan, otherwise he might have revealed his secrets early.
This matter is strange to say, after seeing Bai Yuan yesterday, his nerves were tense for a while, and when Bai Yuan opened his mouth, he unexpectedly spoke the language of this world strangely.It's just that the situation was special at that time, and he didn't have time to think about it. It wasn't until later when Long Ting talked about his awakening that he realized that he could speak the language of this world, probably because of his awakening.
With the previous keen perception of plants, Gu Jia was not too surprised after guessing that it was the reason for the awakening.There was only one problem that concerned him a lot—there was no witch mark on his forehead.
Although pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger sounds good, but he can't help but feel uneasy if he doesn't understand the reason.
He was thinking about something on his mind all the way, but Bai Yuan didn't let Bai Yuan see it.After walking for an unknown amount of time, Gu Jia followed Bai Yuan to the top of the mountain.He looked at the courtyard not far in front of him, and gradually narrowed his eyes compared with the bean curd shacks he saw along the way—the gap was too big!
Still, the place looked like a normal house at last.
Bai Yuan secretly glanced at Gu Jia, seeing his calm expression, couldn't help but marvel in his heart.The place where witch Sun Dawu and the leader Xuan Yi lived was already the most magnificent house he had ever seen, but seeing Gu Jia's expression, it seemed that such a house was just commonplace, and Bai Yuan suddenly lost his mind—— What kind of a big tribe Gu Jia originally lived in!
Bai Yuan suddenly felt a little inferior. Can Gu Jia see the Bobcat tribe?
Gu Jia looked at the suddenly lost Bai Yuan in surprise: "What's wrong with you? Aren't you going in?"
Bai Yuan felt excited and said, "Yes, yes, let's go in now!" After he finished speaking, he quickly walked over with Gu Jia.
At this time, a seductive young man just came out of the house.His eyes swept across Bai Yuan quickly, and finally stopped on Gu Jia: "Are you the sorcerer apprentice from outside?"
Seeing such a seductive young man suddenly, Gu Jia felt somewhat uncomfortable.The boy's facial features are not particularly outstanding, but there is a coquettish charm in the corners of his eyes and brows, which gives people a somewhat undecent feeling.
However, his attitude was rather cold, and it was a bit unusual to say that he deliberately made such a seductive gesture.
However, although Gu Jia was not at ease, he still looked at the boy carefully, and then asked in surprise, "Are you Sun Dawu?"
Who knew that when the young man heard this, his face turned cold suddenly: "You guessed wrong, I am Hu Wei, a sorcerer, not sorcerer Sun Da."
"Oh." Gu Jia was not embarrassed at all, but took a closer look at Hu Wei's disgusting witch seal.Seeing this, he couldn't help laughing.This witch seal is blood red and looks like a fox, and its color, shape, and position are just like the flower tins used by women for decoration!
A good man has something like this on his forehead, can he still look like that?
Gu Jia was suddenly glad that he did not have the so-called witch seal.
Hu Wei was stunned. Ever since he was sent to this remote and backward Shanmao tribe by the witch temple, he has been unhappy in his heart. Except for the great witch Sun Yue and the leader Xuan Yi who made him scruples, he has no good face towards others.
His attitude was cold, and those non-orcs naturally didn't dare to approach him. Even the sorcerer apprentices who followed Sun Dawu were timid when they talked to him on weekdays.
How does it look like this Gujia?She wasn't affected by his indifference at all!
Seeing Gu Jia like this, Hu Wei suddenly believed that his background was not simple.Even if it is not a big tribe, it will never be a backward tribe like the Lynx tribe.
But even so, he still didn't have a good look at Gu Jia, instead he said with deep embarrassment: "You'd better pray to wake up soon." Otherwise, you will have to stay in this ghost place for the rest of your life.
Concerned about the big witch in the room, he didn't dare to say the latter.Instead, after a pause, he continued to say to Gu Jia: "The great witch wants to see you, come with me."
Gu Jia's heart tightened slightly, but she followed Hu Wei in calmly.
As soon as he entered the room, Gu Jia instinctively looked at the man sitting on the main seat.
The man has gray hair, but his face is not old, but very young, he looks like he is in his thirties.
This person is naturally the Great Wu Sun Yue.
After seeing Sun Yue's face, Gu Jia was shocked.He originally thought that Sun Yue, as a great witch, should be quite old, but who knew he was so young.
At the same time, Sun Yue was also looking at Gu Jia.After looking at it, Sun Yue was also a little surprised, Gu Jia's appearance was too good to be true!
When he was in the Wu Temple, he had seen many good-looking non-orcs, but none of the people he had seen could compare to Gu Jia.
This kind of good looks is not only due to the facial features, but also a kind of magical temperament exuded from Gu Jia, as well as the charm of his gestures.
Sun Yue was already skeptical about Gu Jia's origin, but upon seeing it, he became even more skeptical—a special non-beastman like Gu Jia could never be raised by ordinary tribes.
Seeing Gu Jia looking at him curiously, he smiled slightly, raised his hand and said, "You are Gu Jia, right? Sit down."
Hu Weiyi, who was on the side, saw Sun Yue's smile, and his eyes widened.Except when he first came, Sun Yue had never smiled!
Hu Wei was so surprised that she couldn't help but look at Gu Jia again.
The change in his face was too obvious, almost all the thoughts in his heart were on his face, and Gu Jia could see his thoughts at a glance.However, he acted as if he hadn't seen anything. After hearing Sun Yue's words, he honestly walked to the seat designated by Sun Yue and sat down.
Hu Wei's expression changed, he simply walked over and sat opposite Gu Jia.
Gu Jia glanced at him quickly, and soon his attention was on Sun Yue again.This is the BOSS of the Lynx Tribe and a great witch. He is an impostor of unknown origin, so it's better to be careful.
Sun Yue's attention has been on Gu Jia, he wants to see what kind of person Gu Jia is, and whether he will bring disaster to the Bobcat tribe.As the big witch of the Bobcat tribe, he had to calculate more.
The Lynx tribe is too small to stand up to it.
Gu Jia sat firmly on the chair with a calm expression, allowing Sun Yue to look at him.Before he came in, he had already thought about the countermeasures, and decided that the enemy would not move, he would not move!
Since he said too much and made mistakes, he didn't say anything!
Sun Yue waited and saw that Gu Jia kept silent, but the old god was sitting on the ground instead, he was surprised in his heart, this person is too calm!
He originally wanted to wait for Gu Jia to speak first, but Gu Jia refused to speak, so he had no choice but to take the initiative.
Fortunately, he had already thought about what to say when he met Gu Jia, and now he was forced to take the initiative, so he didn't panic, he just said politely: "I heard that you saved Aqiu, otherwise he would be alone." Non-orcs, maybe they will never come back."
When Gu Jia heard this, the corners of her mouth curled up into a just right smile, neither appearing warm nor too cold.He opened his mouth lightly, and said politely: "It's just a matter of lifting a finger."
These words almost blocked Sun Yue's unfinished words.However, Sun Yue has been a great witch for many years, so he is not someone who is easy to fool like Ah Qiu.
He saw that Gu Jia was unwilling to talk deeply, so he said: "It may be just a little effort for you, but for Ah Qiu, it is a life-saving grace.
I heard that you are living with him now, that child is suffering, and there is nothing good in the house, so it may be inconvenient for you to live there.
I have someone prepare some commonly used things, you can take a look first, if there is anything missing, you might as well bring it up, I can help, I will definitely help you. "
Sun Yue's words just hit Gu Jia's weakness, Aqiu's house is really desolate, and he can only eat with bamboo tubes.The things Sun Yue sent out just solved his urgent needs.
Even if he didn't want to owe Sun Yue a favor, Gu Jia couldn't refuse his kindness.For him, there were too many things missing, and it was too troublesome for him to prepare one by one, so it would be better to accept Sun Yue's favor.
So Gu Jia only hesitated for a moment, and the smile on his face instantly brightened: "Then I would like to thank Sun Dawu."
Sun Yue watched him change his face with his own eyes, and couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.He was really worried that Gu Jia refused to enter before.I'm afraid that Gu Jia's background is too big, if he accidentally offends, he will bring disaster to the small Shanmao tribe.
Now that Gu Jia is willing to appreciate it, it is naturally the best.He could tell that Gu Jia was not a treacherous person. With this favor, as long as the people in the tribe didn't take the initiative to offend others severely, it shouldn't bring disaster to the tribe.
Soon, an orc came out with a bundle of animal skins and spread it out in front of Gu Jia.
Gu Jia looked over instinctively, and found that all the miscellaneous things inside were mixed together. There were not only two stone plates like the ones in Aqiu's house, but also a sealed bamboo tube, several bamboo bowls, bamboo spoons, and a stone pot. and two shell knives.
He had seen a similar bamboo tube at Aqiu's house, which was used to hold salt grains, but the one he saw now was a whole size bigger than the one at Aqiu's house.There is also a wooden plug on the bamboo tube, which acts as a seal.
Gu Jia glanced at it, and didn't care too much about how much salt was in it.He believed that since Sun Yue took this as a favor, the salt contained in it would naturally be more or less.
After looking at the bamboo tube, his attention was quickly placed on the stone pot.The stone pot seems to be the same material as the stone plate, and looks quite new.
The most important thing is that this stone pot looks like a modern wide-mouthed casserole. There are even two "ears" chiseled on the left and right sides, and the whole body is polished extremely smooth. In the world, such craftsmanship is definitely very rare.
As soon as Gu Jia saw the pot, he couldn't take his eyes off it.Due to limited conditions, he could only make soup with a stone plate, but no matter how big the stone plate was, it was still a plate, with a limited depth, so the capacity was naturally not much larger.
But this stone pot is different. The diameter of this pot seems to be thirty or forty centimeters, and the depth is more than 20 centimeters. It is not a small pot.
At least, for the current him, it is definitely enough.
However, Gu Jia was still a little greedy, he pointed at the stone pot and asked Sun Yue: "Is there any more pot like this?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, the rest of the people in the room, whether it was Sun Yue and Hu Wei, or the orc who was in charge of carrying them, all looked at Gu Jia in amazement. he would ask.
Seeing them like this, Gu Jia felt a little uncomfortable.But he soon regained his confidence. Since it is a debt of favor to give one pot, it is also a debt of favor to give two or three. Why doesn't he fight for himself more?
Sun Yue said it himself, if there is anything he needs, he can mention it, so why is he being polite?Now you are being polite, after passing through this village, there will be no such point!
There is only one chance, and he must seize it.
Relying on his thick skin, Gu Jia pretended not to see the faces of Sun Yue and the other three, and said confidently: "Aqiu's family doesn't have such a stone pot, one pot is not enough for me, is there more?"
Sun Yue's face changed slightly, and he quickly said to the orc who seemed to have not reacted: "Go and get two more stone pots."
He didn't even ask Gu Jia how much he needed, and he made two orders directly, which seemed to block Gu Jia and made him unable to ask for more.
In fact, Sun Yue had no choice. This kind of stone pot was very expensive because of the trouble of making it. There were only three unused ones here, and two of them were part of the rewards from the witch hall after his son went to the witch hall.
Now that he took it out and gave it to Gu Jia, he felt bleeding in his heart.It's a pity that he had put down his words a long time ago. Now that Gu Jiazhen made a request, he couldn't refuse it even if his heart was bleeding.
Otherwise, this time not only will the favor fail, but also Gu Jiaxin will complain.
Sun Yue regretted the big words he just uttered, but he really didn't expect that Gu Jia, a sorcerer apprentice, would want three cauldrons!
Even if he is a great witch, he basically only uses a cauldron on weekdays, how can he be so rude like Gu Jia?
It's a pity that he doesn't know yet that Gu Jia didn't want this kind of cauldron for refining medicine, he just used it for cooking and cooking soup!
If Sun Yue found out about this, I don't know if he would be so angry that he would spit out a mouthful of blood.
Soon, the orc brought two brand new stone pots. Gu Jia saw it, and the smile on his face became even brighter.However, he accepted it as soon as it was good. After guessing that this kind of stone pot was not easy, he quickly thanked Sun Yue and did not ask Sun Yue more.
At this time, Sun Yue was not in the mood to test Gu Jia anymore, and after the politeness, he hinted that Gu Jia could leave.However, when Gu Jia left, Sun Yue specially asked Bai Yuan to act as a coolie to help Gu Jia get the package, considering his "non-beastman's weak body".
The stone pot is already big, even if it doesn't look very thick, the combined weight of three is not something that non-orcs can bear.But Bai Yuan is an orc after all, even though the cat orcs are dexterous and not as strong as other orcs, he helped Gu Jia carry the package all the way, until he walked into Aqiu's house, he still didn't change his expression and was out of breath.
After the package was put down, Bai Yuan left in a hurry.He came to Gu Jia before under the orders of Sun Yue, now that the task is completed, he has to go hunting.
Although Gu Jia shared half of their bristle pig pork yesterday, he is not alone, there are seven other team members under him, and they must all share.
After dividing it in this way, the pork he got was actually not much. Last night, the whole family ate it all, leaving only the bone scum all over the place, which was directly used as firewood.
So today, he had to go hunting.
Gu Jia didn't care about Bai Yuan who left, because at the same time Bai Yuan left, Long Ting, who was hiding somewhere and was sullen, jumped out like a ghost, and stared at him faintly with a pair of blue eyes.
As soon as Gu Jia saw Long Ting's "You're sorry for me" look, he frowned tightly, and said quite bluntly: "Why haven't you left yet?"
With just six words, it was enough to make a gesture of chasing people, and it was short of saying "you get out now".
Long Ting originally wanted to accuse Gu Jia of many crimes, but when he heard this, he suddenly froze and looked at Gu Jia so stupidly.
He didn't know what to say at this moment.
Before accidentally contracting with Gu Jia, he never thought that he would suddenly have a non-orc, and he would live and die together.
But no matter how unexpected he was, he worked hard to get used to it, and even seriously thought about how to support his non-orc.Even when he was angry, he was reluctant to greet Gu Jia with his sharp nails.
However, he never expected that Gu Jia would let him go so directly, even his expression was full of disgust, as if he was the kind of garbage orc who clings to non-orcs.
Long Ting felt that his heart was hit hard by a big cold and hard stone, and he was about to suffer from internal pain.Back then when he was plotted against by those witches in the Witch Palace and could no longer change into a beast shape, he felt unprecedented despair.
However, at this moment, he felt even more desperate than that time.
Originally, he could no longer transform into a beast shape, but because of Gu Jia, he has the ability to transform into a beast shape again, but because his body was too badly injured before, he had to become a juvenile body.
And yesterday, Gu Jia accidentally helped him break the seal that was tightly wrapped on the core, allowing him to call more beast energy. Although it is incomparable with the heyday, the crack on the seal The long and narrow opening allowed him to see the dawn of hope!
But now, Gu Jia wants him to go!
Without Gu Jia, who can help him break the seal, and who will help him?Once his identity is leaked, he will surely be killed!
Long Ting stared at Gu Jia, the color of his eyes kept changing, and he was about to change.Gu Jia frowned and looked at him, originally ignoring him, but suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside.
He immediately yelled at Long Ting: "If you don't want to die, let me stop!"
After shouting, Gu Jia still felt extremely depressed.Does Long Ting have any consciousness of being a wanted criminal across the continent?Changing back and forth at every turn, is it tired of work?
Even if you want to die, don't take him to be buried with you!
Just at this moment, Gu Jia suddenly felt uncomfortable, even a little desperate.He raised his eyebrows suspiciously, a little puzzled, okay, what is he desperate for?
No, not right!This wasn't his mood at all, it was...
Gu Jia looked at Long Ting in astonishment, just in time to see the injury and despair in his eyes, and he froze immediately.
Ah Qiu's voice suddenly rang out at this moment: "Brother Gu, are you back? Hey, why is there a package here?"
While speaking, Ah Qiu had already walked in, staring at the animal skin package on the wooden table.But although he was curious, he didn't go directly to open it.
And the moment he spoke, a white shadow flashed in front of Gu Jia's eyes, and Long Ting had already rushed out.Gu Jia ignored Ah Qiu, he looked at the direction where Long Ting disappeared, frowned, but said nothing.
It was a good thing for Long Ting to leave like this.After all, Long Ting is now a wanted criminal in the entire continent. Once his identity is leaked, he may lose his life at any time.
He wasn't that great, but he didn't want to be that fish in the pond that got hurt.
It's just that when he thought of the weird emotion in his heart just now, he felt a little uneasy.What Long Ting said about the master-servant contract before, shouldn't it be true?
Thinking of this, Gu Jia couldn't hold back anymore, and asked Aqiu directly: "Aqiu, have you heard of the master-servant contract?"
"Master-servant contract?" Ah Qiu shook his head blankly, "I've never heard of it, what is it?"
'If I know, do I need to ask you? Gu Jia rolled her eyes in her heart, thinking that Aqiu had lived in the Bobcat tribe since she was a child, so she probably really didn't know, so she suppressed her uneasiness and didn't ask any more questions.
Immediately, he opened the animal skin package, took out all the things inside, and then pointed to three stone pots and six bamboo bowls, asking Ah Qiu to wash them clean.
Ah Qiu obediently agreed, not daring to refuse.He still has to rely on Gu Jia for food, and he should work.
Gu Jia took the only bamboo tube, opened the cork and looked at it, and saw that it was almost full of salt grains, and then hooked the corners of his mouth in satisfaction.Afterwards, he went into the kitchen, dissolved and purified the not-so-clean salt grains, and then re-boiled the water to let the salt grains precipitate out. Finally, he tossed out relatively clean table salt.
It is a comparison, but it is because the things are too simple and there is no way to purify them too thoroughly.But even so, the table salt at this time looked very similar to what he had eaten before, unlike at the beginning, when the naked eye could tell it was not clean.
When he was tossing, Aqiu kept watching, but he didn't dare to say anything, let alone stop him. It wasn't until the white salt particles precipitated out that his eyes widened in surprise, and his jaw almost fell to the ground.
He never knew that the salt he usually ate could turn out like this!
It's a pity that he is still too rustic after all, with too little experience.If Sun Yue and Hu Wei were here, they would be able to recognize them at a glance. The table salt produced by Gu Jia can already be regarded as a high-end product in table salt.
It's a pity that the price of this kind of high-end goods is much more expensive than ordinary ones. Even if they appear at every trade fair, small tribes like the Bobcat tribe can't afford them.
If you really want to buy it, the high-grade salt you got in exchange for that little material is not enough for the whole tribe.
Although the bumpkin Aqiu marveled at Gu Jia's miraculous methods, he didn't think much about it at all. He only thought that Gu Jia was worthy of coming from a big tribe, and he was amazing!
That's right, although Gu Jia didn't say it, Ah Qiu already regarded him as an apprentice sorcerer from the big tribe.
Gu Jia ignored Aqiu's exclamation, seeing that Aqiu cleaned the stone pot, he took out yesterday's suet, washed it, took out a kitchen knife, and chopped it on the chopping board.
The stone pot was heated up, and the suet was put into the pan. With the sound of "zi la si la", oil juice gradually boiled out from the chopped suet.
Gu Jia can't find vegetable oil now, and these lard oils are no different from treasures in his eyes.He fiddled with the long wooden chopsticks a few times, and more and more hot oil came out, while the original milky white suet gradually turned brown, and exuded an attractive aroma.
As soon as the smell came out, Ah Qiu began to swallow saliva non-stop.He has been standing by the side, watching Gu Jia cut into pieces, put into the pot, and refine the oil, he has been dumbfounded for a long time.
He never knew that this kind of milky white "fat meat" could be boiled into "water"!
As an out-and-out bumpkin, Ah Qiu doesn't even know what oil is!In his eyes, these lards looked like water.
Seeing that it was almost done, Gu Jia asked Ah Qiu to find a bamboo tube and a cork.Fortunately, there are several bamboo tubes like this in Aqiu's house, which are a few rounds larger than those used to hold salt, and deeper than those he used as rice bowls before, so they are just used to hold those refined hot oil .
He asked Aqiu to wash the bamboo tube and cork, and dried the water on the fire, and then scooped the hot oil in with a bamboo spoon.The hot oil is boiling hot, constantly exuding a strong fragrance, showing a very light amber color.
But Gu Jia knew that when it solidified, it would turn a beautiful milky white.
He was afraid that Ah Qiu would accidentally get burned, so he always did it by himself.Even the oil residue after refining the oil in the pot is picked up with chopsticks and placed in a stone plate, sprinkled with a few grains of salt, and when it cools down, it can be regarded as a dish.
This kind of oil residue is rarely eaten in modern times, but this place is poor and backward, and Gu Jia doesn't want to waste things.
It's just that he and Ah Qiu didn't notice that the kitchen window was wide open, and today it wasn't like yesterday that it was raining heavily. As soon as the smell from the pot came out, it floated far away and continued to disperse in the air.
Some kittens who were playing in the distance turned up from the ground with a "meow" when they smelled the tempting fragrance, and rushed towards Aqiu's house by coincidence.
In the woods not far away, a puppet cat hiding among the branches involuntarily sniffed and looked in the direction of the scent.As soon as it saw the familiar dilapidated house, it widened its eyes angrily, then turned its head angrily, and didn't want to pay any more attention to it.
It's just that it didn't take long to turn its head, when it suddenly remembered something, and quickly turned its round head back.
Looking at it, it saw a group of kittens rushing towards Aqiu's house with a "meow meow", the excitement was like taking medicine.
Long Ting stared at the group of kittens, seeing that they were about to rush into Aqiu's house, he finally couldn't bear it any longer, jumped directly from the tree, and then rushed to the door of Aqiu's house like lightning. With a small body, he blocked the door, then raised his right front paw and slammed it hard on the ground, and issued a warning from his throat: "Roar!"
When he yelled, the kittens who were running excitedly slammed to the brakes in fright, and looked at Long Ting in horror.
Long Ting raised his chin, and immediately felt complacent - a group of kittens who didn't even grow their fur dared to fight him for food!Are you scared now?
But soon, Long Ting was slapped in the face.
As a group of kittens, they are fearless.Anyone who dares to grab food from them, in a word, beat him up!
They looked at each other first, and then, one of the strongest kittens raised its right front paw and pointed at Long Ting, saying, "Come on, brothers, beat this little fat man to death!"
As soon as it opened its mouth, the other kittens became excited, and amidst the shouts of "Everyone rush, beat him to death", they rushed towards Long Ting like chicken blood.
If he hadn't experienced it himself, he would never believe it.
At this moment, Long Ting raised his head in dissatisfaction, and glared at Bai Yuan in displeasure, his heart burst into anger—he knew that this Bai Mao wanted to steal Gu Jia from him!
Contemptuously looking Bai Yuan's whole body up and down, Long Ting let out a sulking breath from his nose in disdain.This white hair is not as good as him anywhere, and he dared to rob Gu Jia from him. He really overestimated his capabilities. If he was in his prime, he would have crushed this white hair to death with a single finger.
But just when Long Ting was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he saw Gu Jia smiling at Bai Yuan.Seeing Gu Jia's smile, Long Ting's fur exploded with anger, feeling extremely annoyed.How could he have forgotten that Gu Jia is just an ignorant country bumpkin, who hooked up with any orc and left!
Seeing that Bai Yuan was looking at Gu Jia straightly, Long Ting felt even more unhappy.He gritted his teeth, stared at Bai Yuan for a while, and wanted to yell at him again, but at this moment, Gu Jia shot him mercilessly with cold eyes!
"Uh!" Long Ting was frightened by Gu Jia, and the prepared roar got stuck in his throat, and his voice changed its tone.
Gu Jia rolled her eyes speechlessly, and asked Bai Yuan politely: "Did Sun Dawu tell me when to go over?"
Bai Yuan immediately said: "The great witch hopes to see you as soon as possible."
In other words, Gu Jia has to go now.
Gu Jia smiled and nodded: "Then let's go." He looked at Bai Yuan secretly, feeling very uncertain in his heart, but kept his face calm, afraid that Bai Yuan would find out.
Seeing that he was going to follow Bai Yuan, Long Ting instinctively wanted to follow, for fear that Gu Jia would be seduced by Bai Yuan and go away.Only when he took a step, Gu Jia turned his head, looked at him coldly, and ordered unceremoniously: "You stay at home, don't run around!"
Long Ting was dissatisfied: "Why should I stay at home?"
But Gu Jia didn't intend to be polite to him at all: "If you dare to run out, you don't have to come back." This was so merciless that even Bai Yuan couldn't help frowning when he heard it. Gu Jia looked at him approvingly.
Despite the harsh conditions of the bobcat tribe, abandoning cubs has a bad reputation.
However, although Bai Yuan disagreed, he didn't say anything.
Long Ting glared at Gu Jia angrily, snorted dissatisfiedly, then suddenly turned his head and rushed into the room.Seeing him go in, Gu Jia said to Bai Yuan, "Let's go."
Afraid of delaying Sun Dawu's affairs, Bai Yuan quickly took Gu Jia away.On the way, he hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't help but said: "Cubs are playful, don't be as knowledgeable as him."
This is an intercession for Long Ting.
Gu Jia looked at him in surprise, and smiled mockingly: "It has nothing to do with me anyway, why should I know as much as him?"
Although he had already decided to separate from Long Ting, but what he did just now was not to bully Long Ting.Although the Shanmao tribe is just a small tribe, Long Ting doesn't pay much attention to the so-called big witch, but he has to guard against him when he arrives for the first time - who knows if the big witch Sun will recognize Long Ting, the wanted criminal? ?
He still doesn't know how to go back. In this world where murderers are everywhere, his ability to protect himself is limited. Once he offends the ultimate boss of the mainland, he may have to be reincarnated.
It's just these inside stories, but it's impossible to explain them to Bai Yuan.
Bai Yuan felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Gu Jia's words. Gu Jia's words just now were too cold and heartless.It took him a while to remember that Long Ting was not Gu Jia's cub, and it was normal that Gu Jia refused to raise him.
Even an orc might not be able to raise a cub, let alone an unmarried non-orc like Gu Jia.
As soon as he thought about it, Bai Yuan blushed, and looked at Gu Jia with a bit of guilt.Gu Jia saw his reaction in his eyes, his eyes lit up slightly, and then he asked: "What kind of person is Sun Dawu?"
Bai Yuan felt guilty towards Gu Jia, and without thinking much, he answered Gu Jia's question: "He is the most powerful witch in the history of the Shanmao tribe! If it weren't for him, the Shanmao tribe would not have the scale it is now, let alone impossible. Live the good life now."
Gu Jia couldn't help but glanced at him, so this is a good day?How miserable was the Lynx tribe before?
"Then he is really amazing." Gu Jia boasted casually, and then asked the question he was most concerned about, "Bai Yuan, do you know why Sun Dawu wants to see me?"
Bai Yuan smiled heartily: "It's nothing, the Dawu just heard that you came to the tribe and wanted to meet you in person. If it hadn't been raining yesterday, the Dawu would have seen you yesterday."
"So that's how it is." Gu Jia smiled and understood everything in her heart.
He just came to the tribe yesterday, and that Sun Dawu wanted to see him, so the news was too well-informed.Presumably, the Great Witch Sun had already asked Bai Yuan yesterday.That Sun Dawu is so cautious, it seems that he has to be careful when we meet later.
Thinking of this, Gu Jia suddenly rejoiced.If he hadn't been smart enough to let Long Ting stay at A Qiu's house on purpose, when that sorcerer Sun Yue met Long Ting, maybe he would really be able to see something!
He didn't continue to ask, afraid of making too many mistakes and causing Bai Yuan to notice.While looking at the situation along the way calmly, Gu Jia rejoiced in his heart—thanks to the fact that he had miraculously learned the language of this world after seeing Bai Yuan, otherwise he might have revealed his secrets early.
This matter is strange to say, after seeing Bai Yuan yesterday, his nerves were tense for a while, and when Bai Yuan opened his mouth, he unexpectedly spoke the language of this world strangely.It's just that the situation was special at that time, and he didn't have time to think about it. It wasn't until later when Long Ting talked about his awakening that he realized that he could speak the language of this world, probably because of his awakening.
With the previous keen perception of plants, Gu Jia was not too surprised after guessing that it was the reason for the awakening.There was only one problem that concerned him a lot—there was no witch mark on his forehead.
Although pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger sounds good, but he can't help but feel uneasy if he doesn't understand the reason.
He was thinking about something on his mind all the way, but Bai Yuan didn't let Bai Yuan see it.After walking for an unknown amount of time, Gu Jia followed Bai Yuan to the top of the mountain.He looked at the courtyard not far in front of him, and gradually narrowed his eyes compared with the bean curd shacks he saw along the way—the gap was too big!
Still, the place looked like a normal house at last.
Bai Yuan secretly glanced at Gu Jia, seeing his calm expression, couldn't help but marvel in his heart.The place where witch Sun Dawu and the leader Xuan Yi lived was already the most magnificent house he had ever seen, but seeing Gu Jia's expression, it seemed that such a house was just commonplace, and Bai Yuan suddenly lost his mind—— What kind of a big tribe Gu Jia originally lived in!
Bai Yuan suddenly felt a little inferior. Can Gu Jia see the Bobcat tribe?
Gu Jia looked at the suddenly lost Bai Yuan in surprise: "What's wrong with you? Aren't you going in?"
Bai Yuan felt excited and said, "Yes, yes, let's go in now!" After he finished speaking, he quickly walked over with Gu Jia.
At this time, a seductive young man just came out of the house.His eyes swept across Bai Yuan quickly, and finally stopped on Gu Jia: "Are you the sorcerer apprentice from outside?"
Seeing such a seductive young man suddenly, Gu Jia felt somewhat uncomfortable.The boy's facial features are not particularly outstanding, but there is a coquettish charm in the corners of his eyes and brows, which gives people a somewhat undecent feeling.
However, his attitude was rather cold, and it was a bit unusual to say that he deliberately made such a seductive gesture.
However, although Gu Jia was not at ease, he still looked at the boy carefully, and then asked in surprise, "Are you Sun Dawu?"
Who knew that when the young man heard this, his face turned cold suddenly: "You guessed wrong, I am Hu Wei, a sorcerer, not sorcerer Sun Da."
"Oh." Gu Jia was not embarrassed at all, but took a closer look at Hu Wei's disgusting witch seal.Seeing this, he couldn't help laughing.This witch seal is blood red and looks like a fox, and its color, shape, and position are just like the flower tins used by women for decoration!
A good man has something like this on his forehead, can he still look like that?
Gu Jia was suddenly glad that he did not have the so-called witch seal.
Hu Wei was stunned. Ever since he was sent to this remote and backward Shanmao tribe by the witch temple, he has been unhappy in his heart. Except for the great witch Sun Yue and the leader Xuan Yi who made him scruples, he has no good face towards others.
His attitude was cold, and those non-orcs naturally didn't dare to approach him. Even the sorcerer apprentices who followed Sun Dawu were timid when they talked to him on weekdays.
How does it look like this Gujia?She wasn't affected by his indifference at all!
Seeing Gu Jia like this, Hu Wei suddenly believed that his background was not simple.Even if it is not a big tribe, it will never be a backward tribe like the Lynx tribe.
But even so, he still didn't have a good look at Gu Jia, instead he said with deep embarrassment: "You'd better pray to wake up soon." Otherwise, you will have to stay in this ghost place for the rest of your life.
Concerned about the big witch in the room, he didn't dare to say the latter.Instead, after a pause, he continued to say to Gu Jia: "The great witch wants to see you, come with me."
Gu Jia's heart tightened slightly, but she followed Hu Wei in calmly.
As soon as he entered the room, Gu Jia instinctively looked at the man sitting on the main seat.
The man has gray hair, but his face is not old, but very young, he looks like he is in his thirties.
This person is naturally the Great Wu Sun Yue.
After seeing Sun Yue's face, Gu Jia was shocked.He originally thought that Sun Yue, as a great witch, should be quite old, but who knew he was so young.
At the same time, Sun Yue was also looking at Gu Jia.After looking at it, Sun Yue was also a little surprised, Gu Jia's appearance was too good to be true!
When he was in the Wu Temple, he had seen many good-looking non-orcs, but none of the people he had seen could compare to Gu Jia.
This kind of good looks is not only due to the facial features, but also a kind of magical temperament exuded from Gu Jia, as well as the charm of his gestures.
Sun Yue was already skeptical about Gu Jia's origin, but upon seeing it, he became even more skeptical—a special non-beastman like Gu Jia could never be raised by ordinary tribes.
Seeing Gu Jia looking at him curiously, he smiled slightly, raised his hand and said, "You are Gu Jia, right? Sit down."
Hu Weiyi, who was on the side, saw Sun Yue's smile, and his eyes widened.Except when he first came, Sun Yue had never smiled!
Hu Wei was so surprised that she couldn't help but look at Gu Jia again.
The change in his face was too obvious, almost all the thoughts in his heart were on his face, and Gu Jia could see his thoughts at a glance.However, he acted as if he hadn't seen anything. After hearing Sun Yue's words, he honestly walked to the seat designated by Sun Yue and sat down.
Hu Wei's expression changed, he simply walked over and sat opposite Gu Jia.
Gu Jia glanced at him quickly, and soon his attention was on Sun Yue again.This is the BOSS of the Lynx Tribe and a great witch. He is an impostor of unknown origin, so it's better to be careful.
Sun Yue's attention has been on Gu Jia, he wants to see what kind of person Gu Jia is, and whether he will bring disaster to the Bobcat tribe.As the big witch of the Bobcat tribe, he had to calculate more.
The Lynx tribe is too small to stand up to it.
Gu Jia sat firmly on the chair with a calm expression, allowing Sun Yue to look at him.Before he came in, he had already thought about the countermeasures, and decided that the enemy would not move, he would not move!
Since he said too much and made mistakes, he didn't say anything!
Sun Yue waited and saw that Gu Jia kept silent, but the old god was sitting on the ground instead, he was surprised in his heart, this person is too calm!
He originally wanted to wait for Gu Jia to speak first, but Gu Jia refused to speak, so he had no choice but to take the initiative.
Fortunately, he had already thought about what to say when he met Gu Jia, and now he was forced to take the initiative, so he didn't panic, he just said politely: "I heard that you saved Aqiu, otherwise he would be alone." Non-orcs, maybe they will never come back."
When Gu Jia heard this, the corners of her mouth curled up into a just right smile, neither appearing warm nor too cold.He opened his mouth lightly, and said politely: "It's just a matter of lifting a finger."
These words almost blocked Sun Yue's unfinished words.However, Sun Yue has been a great witch for many years, so he is not someone who is easy to fool like Ah Qiu.
He saw that Gu Jia was unwilling to talk deeply, so he said: "It may be just a little effort for you, but for Ah Qiu, it is a life-saving grace.
I heard that you are living with him now, that child is suffering, and there is nothing good in the house, so it may be inconvenient for you to live there.
I have someone prepare some commonly used things, you can take a look first, if there is anything missing, you might as well bring it up, I can help, I will definitely help you. "
Sun Yue's words just hit Gu Jia's weakness, Aqiu's house is really desolate, and he can only eat with bamboo tubes.The things Sun Yue sent out just solved his urgent needs.
Even if he didn't want to owe Sun Yue a favor, Gu Jia couldn't refuse his kindness.For him, there were too many things missing, and it was too troublesome for him to prepare one by one, so it would be better to accept Sun Yue's favor.
So Gu Jia only hesitated for a moment, and the smile on his face instantly brightened: "Then I would like to thank Sun Dawu."
Sun Yue watched him change his face with his own eyes, and couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.He was really worried that Gu Jia refused to enter before.I'm afraid that Gu Jia's background is too big, if he accidentally offends, he will bring disaster to the small Shanmao tribe.
Now that Gu Jia is willing to appreciate it, it is naturally the best.He could tell that Gu Jia was not a treacherous person. With this favor, as long as the people in the tribe didn't take the initiative to offend others severely, it shouldn't bring disaster to the tribe.
Soon, an orc came out with a bundle of animal skins and spread it out in front of Gu Jia.
Gu Jia looked over instinctively, and found that all the miscellaneous things inside were mixed together. There were not only two stone plates like the ones in Aqiu's house, but also a sealed bamboo tube, several bamboo bowls, bamboo spoons, and a stone pot. and two shell knives.
He had seen a similar bamboo tube at Aqiu's house, which was used to hold salt grains, but the one he saw now was a whole size bigger than the one at Aqiu's house.There is also a wooden plug on the bamboo tube, which acts as a seal.
Gu Jia glanced at it, and didn't care too much about how much salt was in it.He believed that since Sun Yue took this as a favor, the salt contained in it would naturally be more or less.
After looking at the bamboo tube, his attention was quickly placed on the stone pot.The stone pot seems to be the same material as the stone plate, and looks quite new.
The most important thing is that this stone pot looks like a modern wide-mouthed casserole. There are even two "ears" chiseled on the left and right sides, and the whole body is polished extremely smooth. In the world, such craftsmanship is definitely very rare.
As soon as Gu Jia saw the pot, he couldn't take his eyes off it.Due to limited conditions, he could only make soup with a stone plate, but no matter how big the stone plate was, it was still a plate, with a limited depth, so the capacity was naturally not much larger.
But this stone pot is different. The diameter of this pot seems to be thirty or forty centimeters, and the depth is more than 20 centimeters. It is not a small pot.
At least, for the current him, it is definitely enough.
However, Gu Jia was still a little greedy, he pointed at the stone pot and asked Sun Yue: "Is there any more pot like this?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, the rest of the people in the room, whether it was Sun Yue and Hu Wei, or the orc who was in charge of carrying them, all looked at Gu Jia in amazement. he would ask.
Seeing them like this, Gu Jia felt a little uncomfortable.But he soon regained his confidence. Since it is a debt of favor to give one pot, it is also a debt of favor to give two or three. Why doesn't he fight for himself more?
Sun Yue said it himself, if there is anything he needs, he can mention it, so why is he being polite?Now you are being polite, after passing through this village, there will be no such point!
There is only one chance, and he must seize it.
Relying on his thick skin, Gu Jia pretended not to see the faces of Sun Yue and the other three, and said confidently: "Aqiu's family doesn't have such a stone pot, one pot is not enough for me, is there more?"
Sun Yue's face changed slightly, and he quickly said to the orc who seemed to have not reacted: "Go and get two more stone pots."
He didn't even ask Gu Jia how much he needed, and he made two orders directly, which seemed to block Gu Jia and made him unable to ask for more.
In fact, Sun Yue had no choice. This kind of stone pot was very expensive because of the trouble of making it. There were only three unused ones here, and two of them were part of the rewards from the witch hall after his son went to the witch hall.
Now that he took it out and gave it to Gu Jia, he felt bleeding in his heart.It's a pity that he had put down his words a long time ago. Now that Gu Jiazhen made a request, he couldn't refuse it even if his heart was bleeding.
Otherwise, this time not only will the favor fail, but also Gu Jiaxin will complain.
Sun Yue regretted the big words he just uttered, but he really didn't expect that Gu Jia, a sorcerer apprentice, would want three cauldrons!
Even if he is a great witch, he basically only uses a cauldron on weekdays, how can he be so rude like Gu Jia?
It's a pity that he doesn't know yet that Gu Jia didn't want this kind of cauldron for refining medicine, he just used it for cooking and cooking soup!
If Sun Yue found out about this, I don't know if he would be so angry that he would spit out a mouthful of blood.
Soon, the orc brought two brand new stone pots. Gu Jia saw it, and the smile on his face became even brighter.However, he accepted it as soon as it was good. After guessing that this kind of stone pot was not easy, he quickly thanked Sun Yue and did not ask Sun Yue more.
At this time, Sun Yue was not in the mood to test Gu Jia anymore, and after the politeness, he hinted that Gu Jia could leave.However, when Gu Jia left, Sun Yue specially asked Bai Yuan to act as a coolie to help Gu Jia get the package, considering his "non-beastman's weak body".
The stone pot is already big, even if it doesn't look very thick, the combined weight of three is not something that non-orcs can bear.But Bai Yuan is an orc after all, even though the cat orcs are dexterous and not as strong as other orcs, he helped Gu Jia carry the package all the way, until he walked into Aqiu's house, he still didn't change his expression and was out of breath.
After the package was put down, Bai Yuan left in a hurry.He came to Gu Jia before under the orders of Sun Yue, now that the task is completed, he has to go hunting.
Although Gu Jia shared half of their bristle pig pork yesterday, he is not alone, there are seven other team members under him, and they must all share.
After dividing it in this way, the pork he got was actually not much. Last night, the whole family ate it all, leaving only the bone scum all over the place, which was directly used as firewood.
So today, he had to go hunting.
Gu Jia didn't care about Bai Yuan who left, because at the same time Bai Yuan left, Long Ting, who was hiding somewhere and was sullen, jumped out like a ghost, and stared at him faintly with a pair of blue eyes.
As soon as Gu Jia saw Long Ting's "You're sorry for me" look, he frowned tightly, and said quite bluntly: "Why haven't you left yet?"
With just six words, it was enough to make a gesture of chasing people, and it was short of saying "you get out now".
Long Ting originally wanted to accuse Gu Jia of many crimes, but when he heard this, he suddenly froze and looked at Gu Jia so stupidly.
He didn't know what to say at this moment.
Before accidentally contracting with Gu Jia, he never thought that he would suddenly have a non-orc, and he would live and die together.
But no matter how unexpected he was, he worked hard to get used to it, and even seriously thought about how to support his non-orc.Even when he was angry, he was reluctant to greet Gu Jia with his sharp nails.
However, he never expected that Gu Jia would let him go so directly, even his expression was full of disgust, as if he was the kind of garbage orc who clings to non-orcs.
Long Ting felt that his heart was hit hard by a big cold and hard stone, and he was about to suffer from internal pain.Back then when he was plotted against by those witches in the Witch Palace and could no longer change into a beast shape, he felt unprecedented despair.
However, at this moment, he felt even more desperate than that time.
Originally, he could no longer transform into a beast shape, but because of Gu Jia, he has the ability to transform into a beast shape again, but because his body was too badly injured before, he had to become a juvenile body.
And yesterday, Gu Jia accidentally helped him break the seal that was tightly wrapped on the core, allowing him to call more beast energy. Although it is incomparable with the heyday, the crack on the seal The long and narrow opening allowed him to see the dawn of hope!
But now, Gu Jia wants him to go!
Without Gu Jia, who can help him break the seal, and who will help him?Once his identity is leaked, he will surely be killed!
Long Ting stared at Gu Jia, the color of his eyes kept changing, and he was about to change.Gu Jia frowned and looked at him, originally ignoring him, but suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside.
He immediately yelled at Long Ting: "If you don't want to die, let me stop!"
After shouting, Gu Jia still felt extremely depressed.Does Long Ting have any consciousness of being a wanted criminal across the continent?Changing back and forth at every turn, is it tired of work?
Even if you want to die, don't take him to be buried with you!
Just at this moment, Gu Jia suddenly felt uncomfortable, even a little desperate.He raised his eyebrows suspiciously, a little puzzled, okay, what is he desperate for?
No, not right!This wasn't his mood at all, it was...
Gu Jia looked at Long Ting in astonishment, just in time to see the injury and despair in his eyes, and he froze immediately.
Ah Qiu's voice suddenly rang out at this moment: "Brother Gu, are you back? Hey, why is there a package here?"
While speaking, Ah Qiu had already walked in, staring at the animal skin package on the wooden table.But although he was curious, he didn't go directly to open it.
And the moment he spoke, a white shadow flashed in front of Gu Jia's eyes, and Long Ting had already rushed out.Gu Jia ignored Ah Qiu, he looked at the direction where Long Ting disappeared, frowned, but said nothing.
It was a good thing for Long Ting to leave like this.After all, Long Ting is now a wanted criminal in the entire continent. Once his identity is leaked, he may lose his life at any time.
He wasn't that great, but he didn't want to be that fish in the pond that got hurt.
It's just that when he thought of the weird emotion in his heart just now, he felt a little uneasy.What Long Ting said about the master-servant contract before, shouldn't it be true?
Thinking of this, Gu Jia couldn't hold back anymore, and asked Aqiu directly: "Aqiu, have you heard of the master-servant contract?"
"Master-servant contract?" Ah Qiu shook his head blankly, "I've never heard of it, what is it?"
'If I know, do I need to ask you? Gu Jia rolled her eyes in her heart, thinking that Aqiu had lived in the Bobcat tribe since she was a child, so she probably really didn't know, so she suppressed her uneasiness and didn't ask any more questions.
Immediately, he opened the animal skin package, took out all the things inside, and then pointed to three stone pots and six bamboo bowls, asking Ah Qiu to wash them clean.
Ah Qiu obediently agreed, not daring to refuse.He still has to rely on Gu Jia for food, and he should work.
Gu Jia took the only bamboo tube, opened the cork and looked at it, and saw that it was almost full of salt grains, and then hooked the corners of his mouth in satisfaction.Afterwards, he went into the kitchen, dissolved and purified the not-so-clean salt grains, and then re-boiled the water to let the salt grains precipitate out. Finally, he tossed out relatively clean table salt.
It is a comparison, but it is because the things are too simple and there is no way to purify them too thoroughly.But even so, the table salt at this time looked very similar to what he had eaten before, unlike at the beginning, when the naked eye could tell it was not clean.
When he was tossing, Aqiu kept watching, but he didn't dare to say anything, let alone stop him. It wasn't until the white salt particles precipitated out that his eyes widened in surprise, and his jaw almost fell to the ground.
He never knew that the salt he usually ate could turn out like this!
It's a pity that he is still too rustic after all, with too little experience.If Sun Yue and Hu Wei were here, they would be able to recognize them at a glance. The table salt produced by Gu Jia can already be regarded as a high-end product in table salt.
It's a pity that the price of this kind of high-end goods is much more expensive than ordinary ones. Even if they appear at every trade fair, small tribes like the Bobcat tribe can't afford them.
If you really want to buy it, the high-grade salt you got in exchange for that little material is not enough for the whole tribe.
Although the bumpkin Aqiu marveled at Gu Jia's miraculous methods, he didn't think much about it at all. He only thought that Gu Jia was worthy of coming from a big tribe, and he was amazing!
That's right, although Gu Jia didn't say it, Ah Qiu already regarded him as an apprentice sorcerer from the big tribe.
Gu Jia ignored Aqiu's exclamation, seeing that Aqiu cleaned the stone pot, he took out yesterday's suet, washed it, took out a kitchen knife, and chopped it on the chopping board.
The stone pot was heated up, and the suet was put into the pan. With the sound of "zi la si la", oil juice gradually boiled out from the chopped suet.
Gu Jia can't find vegetable oil now, and these lard oils are no different from treasures in his eyes.He fiddled with the long wooden chopsticks a few times, and more and more hot oil came out, while the original milky white suet gradually turned brown, and exuded an attractive aroma.
As soon as the smell came out, Ah Qiu began to swallow saliva non-stop.He has been standing by the side, watching Gu Jia cut into pieces, put into the pot, and refine the oil, he has been dumbfounded for a long time.
He never knew that this kind of milky white "fat meat" could be boiled into "water"!
As an out-and-out bumpkin, Ah Qiu doesn't even know what oil is!In his eyes, these lards looked like water.
Seeing that it was almost done, Gu Jia asked Ah Qiu to find a bamboo tube and a cork.Fortunately, there are several bamboo tubes like this in Aqiu's house, which are a few rounds larger than those used to hold salt, and deeper than those he used as rice bowls before, so they are just used to hold those refined hot oil .
He asked Aqiu to wash the bamboo tube and cork, and dried the water on the fire, and then scooped the hot oil in with a bamboo spoon.The hot oil is boiling hot, constantly exuding a strong fragrance, showing a very light amber color.
But Gu Jia knew that when it solidified, it would turn a beautiful milky white.
He was afraid that Ah Qiu would accidentally get burned, so he always did it by himself.Even the oil residue after refining the oil in the pot is picked up with chopsticks and placed in a stone plate, sprinkled with a few grains of salt, and when it cools down, it can be regarded as a dish.
This kind of oil residue is rarely eaten in modern times, but this place is poor and backward, and Gu Jia doesn't want to waste things.
It's just that he and Ah Qiu didn't notice that the kitchen window was wide open, and today it wasn't like yesterday that it was raining heavily. As soon as the smell from the pot came out, it floated far away and continued to disperse in the air.
Some kittens who were playing in the distance turned up from the ground with a "meow" when they smelled the tempting fragrance, and rushed towards Aqiu's house by coincidence.
In the woods not far away, a puppet cat hiding among the branches involuntarily sniffed and looked in the direction of the scent.As soon as it saw the familiar dilapidated house, it widened its eyes angrily, then turned its head angrily, and didn't want to pay any more attention to it.
It's just that it didn't take long to turn its head, when it suddenly remembered something, and quickly turned its round head back.
Looking at it, it saw a group of kittens rushing towards Aqiu's house with a "meow meow", the excitement was like taking medicine.
Long Ting stared at the group of kittens, seeing that they were about to rush into Aqiu's house, he finally couldn't bear it any longer, jumped directly from the tree, and then rushed to the door of Aqiu's house like lightning. With a small body, he blocked the door, then raised his right front paw and slammed it hard on the ground, and issued a warning from his throat: "Roar!"
When he yelled, the kittens who were running excitedly slammed to the brakes in fright, and looked at Long Ting in horror.
Long Ting raised his chin, and immediately felt complacent - a group of kittens who didn't even grow their fur dared to fight him for food!Are you scared now?
But soon, Long Ting was slapped in the face.
As a group of kittens, they are fearless.Anyone who dares to grab food from them, in a word, beat him up!
They looked at each other first, and then, one of the strongest kittens raised its right front paw and pointed at Long Ting, saying, "Come on, brothers, beat this little fat man to death!"
As soon as it opened its mouth, the other kittens became excited, and amidst the shouts of "Everyone rush, beat him to death", they rushed towards Long Ting like chicken blood.
