Take Baidu to the Wilderness

Chapter 8 Dividing the meat

After washing the dishes, everyone gathered together and waited for the patriarch to distribute the remaining prey.

Only half of the prey was eaten for the noon meal, and everyone can share a part of the rest to take home.Tori didn't keep everyone waiting, and as soon as the tribe lined up, he took a stone knife and began to divide the prey.

Tori moved quickly, and the long line was soon reduced by half. He handed the meat, pig's head and ribs to Muka. Tori didn't lift his head. To save time, he continued to cut the prey while shouting: "Next." He said and handed out the cut prey.

Holding the prey in his hand, but no one picked it up.Tori felt a little strange, looked up, and saw that Muka hadn't left yet, still occupying the seat, and the people behind were blocked by him, unable to come to get the prey.

"Anything else?" Tori asked.Muka is a relatively powerful warrior in the clan, ranking among the top ten in terms of force, and even met the requirements for competing for the position of patriarch. Although he was removed later, such a warrior is still worthy of respect.

There are three scars on Muka's face, which were scratched by the claws of ferocious beasts when he was hunting. They are very hideous and terrifying.Whether laughing or angry, the scar will become more ferocious with his facial expressions and movements, making people frightened, so even if he is a famous warrior in the clan, no woman wants to be with him.

In order to get rid of being single as soon as possible, Mu Ka kept his face expressionless all the year round, but even so, the hostility brought about by the scar did not diminish a bit.Not to mention women and children, even other adult men would unconsciously avoid their faces when facing him.

Over the years, Muka, who was already bad in character, became more withdrawn and irritable.

Muka threw the pig's head in his hand in front of Tuoli, and the scar on his face became more distorted and terrifying because of his fury: "What do you mean? Give me a pig's head that I can't eat? Even if you are the patriarch You can't bully people like this!"

"The animal heads in the clan are obtained in turn, and this time it's your turn." The beast's head has less meat and more hair, and usually no one eats it. They are hung on the walls of the cave as trophies and decorations.Except for the head of the prey obtained from the first hunting after adulthood as a souvenir and a symbol of adulthood, the beasts captured at other times must be distributed uniformly, and the head of the beast will be obtained in turn. This time it is you, and the next time it will be him. , no one will refuse because they can't eat, it's an honor.So Muka suddenly brought it up like this, which made Tori a little stunned. Fortunately, he quickly reacted and explained.

"I don't care. Anyway, you can't eat this. You can share it with whoever you like. Anyway, you can't give it to me."

Muka's arrogant and unreasonable words made the clansmen a little dissatisfied. Those who had not left after receiving the prey, or those who were still waiting in line to receive it, all whispered among themselves.

Hearing the discussion, Muka turned his head and showed a ferocious smile with the corners of his mouth pulled. His distorted appearance was like a ghost crawling out of hell. For a moment, the clansmen were silent.

Muka sneered disdainfully, turned back and asked Tori to change the prey for him.

"The pig's head is really not powerful enough as a trophy or decoration. How about this? I happened to get a tiger's head today. I want to exchange it with you?" Tori made a good-tempered suggestion, but there was no room for him to refuse. He quickly put the pig's head aside, and picked another huge tiger's head for Muka.

Muka was still dissatisfied with this result. He wanted Tori to replace the pig's head with good meat.It's just that now that Toli has made such a move, I can't get it right any more. Fortunately, a tiger's head is better than a pig's head, so I can count it as a profit.Seeing that Abu Kuna was walking back this way after delivering the prey to Kahn, Muka snorted coldly, said nothing, and left expressionlessly holding the tiger's head.

He is not stupid, it doesn't matter if he offends Tori and the other clansmen, they can't do anything to him anyway, but Abu Kuna is different, as long as he makes a good impression on him, the next time he competes for the position of patriarch, he will It is possible to gain the support of the other party.

After Muka left, Tori continued to divide the meat, and the tribe continued to discuss in a low voice.After Yan Tu came back, he stood aside for about ten minutes, gossiping about the ins and outs of the matter.

He has a different view from other tribesmen, and he doesn't think Tori is at a disadvantage.Let's not talk about Tori's retreat and advance, so that everyone will lose favor with Muka, even if the tiger's head is exchanged for the pig's head, this business is not bad.

The tiger's head is fluffy, and it has no practical use other than hanging on the wall as an ornament.Pig's head is different, Yan Tu couldn't help swallowing when he thought of the smell of pig's head meat.

Pork head meat with salty bamboo shoots, there are bamboos in the forest, just go to find if there are bamboo shoots, marinate it and fry it with pig head meat, it is delicious.

Although the pig's head is not his own, it shouldn't be a big problem to say hello to Tori and discuss it. Yan Tu thought about it, and his heart flew into the woods, wishing he could rush to dig bamboo shoots right away.

Muka left, no one made any more troubles, and the prey was quickly divided.Everyone carried the things they got from their families, because it was still a long time before they went hunting in the afternoon, so they were not in a hurry to go back, and everyone gathered together to chat.

After sharing the meat, Tori walked up to Yan Tu with his share in one hand and Yan Tu's in the other and called him to go home together.

Winter has long passed, and now the weather is getting hotter and hotter. It is spring, but there is a faint trend of high temperature in summer.Yan Tu looked at the meat in Tuoli's hand, fearing that it would go bad if it was not left at night, so he planned to do a simple anti-corrosion measure to avoid eating stale meat at night.

In the stone pot, a few pork ribs in the stewed soup have been distributed by Toli, and they have been eaten up by the clansmen.The pot was also washed clean, and it was placed on the stone stove to wait for the next use.

Yan Tu took the meat from Tori and asked him to help fill the pot with water.After packing, use the firewood left over from the previous stew to rekindle the fire. After the water boils, put the meat in and cook it. After the meat turns white, pick it up and put it in a tree bag.

Yan Tu made such a big move, and the others haven't left yet, how could he not notice?The clansmen gathered around, and after Yan Tu picked up the last piece of meat, they asked one after another: "Abu Kuna, haven't you eaten, why do you want to cook again?"

"Just call me Yan Tu." Yan Tu carried the tree bag containing the meat, and while preventing Tori from putting out the fire, he replied: "The weather is getting hotter and hotter, I'm afraid the meat will go bad at night, so put it in boiling water. This way it can last longer." After speaking, he asked them if they wanted to pass it too, since the water is ready-made, and it doesn't take long to get it ready.

If you can eat good meat at night, who wants to eat stale meat?Under Tori's effective command, the clansmen lined up as they did when dividing meat, and began to pour the food they got into water one by one.

Although it only took a few minutes for each person to put the meat through the water, but the whole clan lined up like this, and when everything was done, it was almost time to go out hunting again.

Everyone took the meat home, while Toli and Yantu walked and talked.While chatting, Tori suddenly became serious, and thanked Yan Tu on behalf of the tribe: "If it weren't for you, Kahn would be in danger today. There are also those kinds of wild vegetables and bird eggs. With them, the life of the tribe can be better." Some, you don’t have to worry about the shortage of food anymore.” The priest is right, you are indeed the Abu Kuna sent by Abu to help us.

"What else?" Yan Tu waited for a long time, but didn't hear Tori say what he wanted to hear the most, so he quickly reminded: "How does today's food taste?"

“Everything is delicious!”

"Then do you want to eat something more delicious?" Yan Tu tempted.I couldn't stop thinking: Take the bait quickly, take the bait quickly, there will be delicious food if you take the bait!

Under Yan Tu's scorching eyes filled with anticipation, Tori nodded.

"I'll cook the pig's head that night. I'll make sure it's so delicious that you won't be able to stop." When he arrived at the cave, Yan Tu put the meat in the kitchen and asked, "Where does the bamboo grow in the forest? Can you tell me?" Location. If there are bamboo shoots, we will have another edible plant, and pork head meat with bamboo shoots, the taste can’t be better!” Although Yan Tu wanted to eat salty bamboo shoots and pig head meat, but thought of drooling, he still had a sense of proportion. Knowing that Tori, as the patriarch, must take the lead in hunting, he was not asked to accompany him to dig bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest.

Tori didn't doubt Yan Tu's statement, but it was a pity that the pig's head was edible, so didn't they waste a lot in the past?

"Pig heads are edible, but what about other animal heads?"

This question got to the point, Yan Tu said he didn't know, after all, in modern times, tigers, deer and other animals are national protected animals, he is a commoner, let alone eat, he has only seen it in zoos .

Fortunately, Tori wasn't too disappointed. Compared with the past when all animal heads could not be eaten, it is much better now.

"Let me take you there. The location where the bamboo grows is relatively remote. No one should be able to find it except me."

"Will it delay the hunting in the afternoon?" Yan Tu hesitated, before asking: "Why don't you look for bamboo shoots first, I can make delicious pig heads alone."

Looking at Yantu's tangled face, Tori couldn't help reaching out to rub his head, but after meeting Shangyantu's suspicious gaze, he subconsciously patted his shoulder instead: "It's okay, it won't take much time, I'll let you They set out first, and I will catch up with them when the time comes. Besides, looking for bamboo shoots is not only for you to make pig's head at night, it is also very beneficial for the tribe to discover a new kind of food."

It made sense for Yan Tu to think about it, so he didn't refuse again.

After putting away the meat, Tori went out with Yantu, and announced the matter when all the clansmen gathered to go hunting.

There are other delicious foods. The clansmen who have just tasted the delicious food are naturally eager to raise their hands and feet to express their approval. Not to mention that the clan leader is just going to lead the way, and let everyone stop hunting for an afternoon and dig bamboo shoots instead. No one has any objections.

Apparently more than one person thought this way. The good brothers looked at each other and found that they both had this idea, and someone said: "Patriarch, why don't you let us go together, anyway, there is enough food today, everyone just helps Let’s dig bamboo shoots together.”

Tori thought about it and agreed.Now that it is spring, the weather is getting warmer, and the animals are coming out of their caves to look for food. There is no shortage of food. In addition, there are many animals hunted in the morning, so if you don't go hunting in the afternoon, it will not delay anything.
