Chapter 5 Savage
Xiaoqiong lay down on the stone bed for a while and felt that she was much more energetic. Seeing that Erhei was still asleep, she looked peaceful and peaceful without any distracting thoughts. There was also a slight and even "snoring" sound in her nasal cavity, thin, like hypnotic notes one by one. She felt that her heart suddenly softened into a piece of cotton candy. It stirs up ripples of love and will get drunk to death at any time, but instinctively feel that it is time to get up and cook.
It's almost noon, and Xiaoqiong doesn't know whether the goddess will come back for dinner. In the previous days, she usually didn't come back for dinner at noon. Xiaoqiong guessed that she should be in the Yiren village separated by two mountains. However, occasionally she would come back for lunch, but Xiaoqiong always faintly felt that she deliberately came to explore. Even monitoring his own behavior, his eyes were as vigilant as if he would abduct his son, and worried that she would treat him badly. In fact, Xiaoqiong felt that the god didn't need to do this at all. She willingly stayed and did not leave the cave with the donkey friends who came to walk the mountain, which showed the problem. But the goddess was still on guard against herself. Thinking about it, Xiaoqiong didn't want to sleep again. She didn't get up and went to another stone house to cook.
This stone house is a kitchen. There are not many facilities in it. However, there are many stone cabinets. There are many earthen jars and bowls in the stone cabinet, as well as a few large earth bowls and plates. Xiaoqiong guessed that there is nothing in the earthen bowl. Maybe it is just utensils used to hold things, and most of the earthen jars are Empty, a small part of the package is full of strange things, and some don't even know what it is.
In addition, there is a stove on one side of the stone house. The stove is very large. You can put some utensils such as pots and pans next to it. Firewood, pine balls and other fuel can be placed below. These dried pine balls will burn as soon as they encounter Mars, and the ignited pine balls will also make a "klap" sound, which will soon drive the firewood next to it. When it burns together, it is not much worse than the gas in the city. It's just that the gas is cleaner and will not emit smoke, and this kind of firewood will emit smoke. At the beginning of burning, there will be some smoke. Standing on the top of the peak in the cave, it looks like it is curled, floating, with a kind of life.
Xiaoqiong picked up an earthen jar. There was already soaked rice in it. First, she washed it and picked up a piece of rice that had been put into the already clean. The end of the bamboo tube was empty, which was used to hold rice. She put the clean rice into the bamboo tube, poured the mountain spring water that was packed back with a gourd in the morning, and stuffed the end of the bamboo tube with a pole in the middle of the corn. , put a few bamboo tubes in a row, and then put some mountain spring water in another pot, put them in the middle of the fire, put a few bamboo tubes full of rice next to the pot, stand up one by one and lean against the edge of the pot. This is to prevent the fire of barbecue bamboo tube rice directly on the bamboo tube, which is easy to burn the outermost bamboo. It needs If you want to barbecue slowly, it will soon reveal a fragrance.
This fragrance can always make Erhei's olfactory nerves in a few stone houses evoke. He can't help but get close and smell the incense to help. Xiaoqiong asked Erhei to continue to guard the bamboo tube and burn it on the fire, washed the bacteria he had picked up before, found a larger earthen jar, poured dirty water into it, and saw Erhei's father sitting at the stone table. As he smelled the fragrance, he waited leisurely for dinner. Erhei and his father were exactly the same. If they were not careful, they could not tell who was who. However, Xiaoqiong could always tell at a glance who was her husband and who was her father-in-law.
First of all, the fishy smell on Erhei's body is not strong, and there is a familiar smell. His father's fishy smell is very strong, like the strange smell of living with wild animals for a long time. Erhei's father is the real owner of this cave. Everything here, even every animal, He is very familiar with it. Xiaoqiong suspects that the old wolf was arranged by his father for Erhei, in order to make him as familiar as possible with everything inside and outside the cave. In the past, Erhei had been living with his mother-in-law, and had not followed him since he was a child. Xiaoqiong did not know why the witch mother-in-law left the orc father-in-law, so I guess part of the reason may be that I can't stand the simple living conditions here and the days of being with some animals all day long.
However, Erhei's father seemed to be very used to and satisfied with his current life. Xiaoqiong didn't know whether he had never been outside or didn't know the life outside at all. Seeing that he was already sitting next to the stone table, he called Dad in a low voice in a low voice that only he knew, but Xiaoqiong was sure. Erhei's father heard it. Erhei and his father's ears were in Turin, which were more sensitive than any normal person Xiaoqiong had ever seen.
Sure enough, when Erhei's father heard someone calling him, he also looked at her softly like Erhei. Without saying a word, Xiaoqiong guessed that he might not know how to treat himself, and he was as ignorant as Erhei. He only knew how to deal with animals, or maybe he didn't know the real meaning of calling him father at all. He doubted. He has not been taught by civilized etiquette, but Xiaoqiong does not dare to think deeply about this problem.
Fortunately, he is a kind-hearted person like Erhei. He has no plan. The animals in the cave listen to him, and no animal dares to violate him. Even the fierce fierce snake here obeys him. As for his own ability, Xiaoqiong doesn't know, but just guesses that he is the same as Erhei. The same action is sensitive, climbing and running, it is as fast as the wind, the mind is simple, and there is no plan. Xiaoqiong has never seen it.
According to the saying in the city, it is to avoid the suspicion of melon fields and Li Xia. Xiaoqiong doesn't know whether he can understand, let alone how the cave people live. The books say that they live in groups, but in addition to the goddess, Erhei and themselves, he is the only one who is still a human being. Xiaoqiong has never seen it. She is a person with more sound limbs. However, the godmother also lived in Yiren Village before and did not live here. In other words, Xiaoqiong has never seen her sleep all night since she lived here. She doesn't know how her father-in-law came here. Who else will come to see him? Does he have anything else? Brothers and sisters?
Since he and Erhei lived here, Xiaoqiong found that he smelled the fragrance every day at noon. Sometimes when Erhei was not in a while, he came to help him cook the bamboo tube rice. As long as he saw Erhei to help him, he sat on the stone at the door and smelled the fragrance leisurely, and his face would be as full as Erhei. Full of giggle - it seems that as long as he sees Xiaoqiong and Erhei together, it is his greatest happiness in his life.
After washing the fungus, Xiaoqiong broke the big fungus into two pieces and poured some olive oil. Xiaoqiong has also seen this olive tree in this mountain, but most of this season is not mature. A large amount of it can only be picked until July. The olive oil in this jar is also different from the olive oil sold in the market. The market Xiaoqiong has eaten it. The olive flavor is not as strong as this. The olive oil in the goddess jar seems to have not undergone any heat treatment and chemical treatment. It also completely preserves all kinds of natural nutrients and their activities. There is no refined pure olive oil, and I don't know what it is made of. The fried dish is extremely fragrant and delicious. Of course, there is corn oil in the jar, but Xiaoqiong likes to use olive oil to cook.
Fortunately, the god mother-in-law is never stingy with these things. As long as she tells her that she always brings it back when she comes back from the village in the afternoon. From this point, Xiaoqiong feels that he still loves Erhei. As for Erhei's father, she is unreasonable. He didn't have a good face when he saw him, but Erhei's father was very attached to her, and Xiaoqiong had never seen him dissatisfied with her.
Soon, Xiaoqiong and Erhei finished cooking, fried a few more eggs, and put them on the stone table in front of the door. The fragrance spread from the stone table. Originally, there was also a table in the stone house. However, this table was made of wood, and Dengzi was also made of wood, but it was not as bright as outside the house, and it was also a natural place. Half of the top of the head is covered by the wall of the cave, and half is directly hit by the sun. It is not hot in summer, not cold in winter, and the wind can't blow in.
Xiaoqiong picked up a bamboo tube, pulled out the plug made of jade, scooped some in the bowl with a spoon, and scooped some mushrooms in it, mixed them together. It was really delicious, but Erhei and his father didn't seem to like mushrooms as much as they did. They both prefer bamboo tube rice, and The way to eat bamboo tube is also special. You can open the bamboo tube directly by hand. After breaking it, you can directly put the bamboo tube to your mouth to eat. Sometimes the bamboo tube is still hot, and the two will not wrap it with something like cloth or something. It is so hot that you can't stand it, and you will throw the bamboo tube. In this way of eating, Xiaoqiong feels that the two are like a savage. It is difficult for them to adapt to the way they eat.
Xiaoqiong found that the goddess could not accept the way of eating between Erhei and his father. However, as long as she saw it, she was always black-faced, either loudly accusing or scolding, and she did not have the patience to teach them. With the tossing of the two, Xiaoqiong did not have much to do. Now she has the energy to affect the way they eat. In front of each of them, there is an earthen bowl and a pair of bamboo chopsticks. They don't prepare spoons for the two of them, so that they can learn to use chopsticks. Of course, it should be prepared for dinner. I don't want them to be scolded loudly by the godmother, but even at lunch, when they need to use bowls to pack things. I forgot to clean it, and it's the same now. Erhei finished the bamboo tube rice and looked at the mushrooms in the earthen plate. Xiaoqiong knew what he would do next. Sure enough, Erhei reached out to grab the mushrooms in the earthen bowl.
This action was blocked by Xiaoqiong in time. He was about to remind him to use the chopsticks in front of him, but Erhei's father directly raised the bowl of fungus and poured some into his mouth to eat. Xiaoqiong was a little helpless. Erhei giggled and picked up the chopsticks and put them in the earthen plate. However, the thick juice in these bacteria made the chopsticks slippery and not allowed. It's easy to fix. Erhei either breaks it or can't pick it up. It's hard to find a way to pierce it with a chopstick, so that it can be picked up, but this should be sent to the mouth very quickly, otherwise the stir-fried fungus will easily fall off from the chopsticks. In this way, when the two eat the fungus, they can always make hands dance. Step by step, in a hurry.
