Chapter 6 Zhou Xu’s Plan
In order for his ‘fresh water extraction device’ to operate normally, they must constantly add wood and water to the pot.
In this primitive era where nothing is too much, even drinking water is not easy.
While waiting for the fresh water to accumulate, the insect skewers can also be grilled.
Since none of the tribe members had ever done this kind of thing before, the arduous task of 'barbecuing skewers' naturally fell on Zhou Xu's head.
Before traveling through time, Zhou Xu loved barbecue and was considered a semi-barbecue expert.
The control of heat is one of the best among their Lu Chuan team, and their skills here are even better.
The insect itself is rich in oil, and under Zhou Xu's grilling technique, the oil slowly began to emerge.
At the same time, the surrounding tribe members sniffed unconsciously. For some reason, some saliva secreted from their dry mouths and tongues to moisturize their mouths. Oral cavity.
【It should be almost done. 】
As this thought flashed through his mind, Zhou Xu picked up some salt crystal particles picked up from the salt belt near the lake and sprinkled some on them.
The ready-made seasonings are right there, why wouldn’t he use them?
Sprinkling the salt on it and roasting it twice more for the salt to melt, Zhou Xu brought the insect skewer to his mouth and bit into one of the roasted insects.
Are you still doing ideological work? ! He was almost fainting from hunger!
Not to mention that he has also eaten similar kebabs.
After one bite, Zhou Xu clearly felt that the crispy shell was broken through, and the full protein exploded in his mouth.
The taste was basically exactly what he expected, which made him feel at ease.
Then, while chewing the insects in his mouth, he handed the skewer to the flying bird next to him.
“One for each person, share it. Don’t rush to swallow it. Chew it thoroughly in your mouth before swallowing.”
Chewing a few more mouthfuls will always make you feel fuller. Stomach feeling.
Time was limited, and the insects they caught were also limited. In this situation, he could only deal with them one by one.
Distributing things has always been a matter of concern not for scarcity but for inequality, especially when this thing is related to their lives. Zhou Xu does not want to cause civil strife due to food distribution issues.
Before this, the tribe members had always caught the bugs and stuffed them into their mouths. Not to mention roasting them, they didn't even cut their heads to remove their internal organs.
Before this, Fei Que had no concept of 'delicious' or 'delicious' at all, until the moment he stuffed the roasted insect into his mouth and bit open the crispy shell...
He was shocked!
For him, food was just for survival. He never thought that these insects could be so delicious!
I don’t know why, but at this moment, he had the urge to cry.
Sniffing, not forgetting the task assigned by Zhou Xu, Fei Que began to distribute the roasted insects to everyone one by one.
The subsequent reactions were basically the same as those of Fei Que.
At this moment, there is a new thing in the endless loop that entangles the tribe members, that is, they hope they can eat such food every day! Desire is born!
At the same time, at this moment, for them, the era of caring for hair and drinking blood was completely over...
During this period, Zhou Xu could clearly feel that everyone respected him more and more.
If we say that the reason why tribe members listened to Dashan more before was because of the prestige Dashan had accumulated in the tribe in the past.
At this moment, Zhou Xu's rising prestige in this tribe has completely crushed the mountain in an instant.
He climbed the mountain easily. Even in the eyes of the tribe members, it was impossible for anyone to do it. It was simply a dimensionality reduction blow.
[Now I know why the previous emperors were so fond of those treacherous ministers who flattered them. This feels really good. 】
Even if he knew that this was not good, Zhou Xu could not help but feel a little arrogant in the sight of those people who seemed to be paying homage to gods. Then I was brought back to reality by a wail from my stomach...
[Not full at all. 】
He is a serious adult, leaving aside the question of whether he is tired of the taste. In terms of appetite, he can eat a plate of fried silkworm chrysalises by himself, and he can also eat more. Make a big bowl of rice.
Now this roasted bug is not even enough for him to stuff between his teeth.
Zhou Xu, who wanted to get something else to fill his stomach, fell on the fruit shell bowl holding water.
The overall efficiency seemed to be faster than he expected. In just a short time, he had already picked up more than half a bowl of water.
Zhou Xu, who was already extremely thirsty, was not polite. After signaling Fei Que on the side to take another nut shell bowl, he directly picked up half of the bowl of water and drank a small amount. One mouthful.
I don’t know if it’s because he hasn’t drank water for a long time, but this ordinary sip of distilled water actually makes him feel more delicious than any other nectar!
Resisting the urge to finish it in one gulp, Zhou Xu handed Fei Que the remaining fresh water in the bowl as usual.
"One small bite each, go and share it."
"Yes."
Compared with the intuitive impact that the roasted insects gave them before, for this distilled water, The tribe members will be much calmer.
What’s more in my heart is actually a sense of surprise, especially for those who have drank lake water before.
If it weren't for the various methods Zhou Xu had shown before and were already regarded as gods by them, these people would definitely not dare to put this water into their mouths so easily.
After drinking it, they will only think it is a miracle!
However, such a half bowl of water is definitely not enough for everyone to settle. Those waiting behind will inevitably be anxious. Seeing this, Zhou Xu said directly...
"Don't be anxious. There is water here for everyone.”
After saying that, he turned to ask Fei Que.
"Where is the bark that was torn off before?"
"Here."
"Okay, everyone who has drank water gather here."
Like Zhou Xu People who love to play business strategy games mostly do things in a planned way, and the better they play, the stronger their ability will be.
The same goes for Zhou Xu. He is a very planned person. From discovering the black forest, to setting up a camp, to making a fire and getting water, he already has a very detailed plan in his mind.
What he has to do now is to implement his plan step by step.
"Dashan, while it's still dark, take a few people with you and pick up more branches."
After giving the instructions, Zhou Xu turned his attention to Wai Shang. of other tribe members.
“Now everyone is like me, take a piece of bark of suitable length from here, and then cross the bark together like this, step by step, don’t rush.”
Currently, in this dark forest area, they have found only two things that can serve as food, and that is insects and mice.
Zhou Xu had already seen how fast those mice scurryed before. It was unrealistic to catch those mice with bare hands.
The best way is to make a trap! Wait until those rats throw themselves into the trap!
Here, Zhou Xu really has to thank his grandma. She used to retire and have nothing to do, so she just did some handicrafts at home to earn some pocket money for fun.
So every time he went back to the countryside during the winter and summer vacations, he would do something casually, which allowed him to master a craft.
Now it really comes in handy!
