Chapter 128 Eat a full meal
On the way back to the camp, Zhou Xu talked to Zhuang Mengdie about the glue as he walked.
He had a clue about the glue matter. He knew that the gelatin in animals could be used as an adhesive, and he also knew that egg whites could be used as an adhesive, but he really didn’t know how to do it. Not very clear.
Unless you are a relevant practitioner, as a serious modern person, who is free to study this? It has nothing to do with his daily life.
In this case, if you really want to develop, you will inevitably spend time on trial and error.
Judging from his own dashboard, his upper limit of intelligence is also four stars. Let him do it. He will test it slowly and he will probably be able to do it.
But as the leader of this tribe, he has a lot to take care of. How can he devote so much energy to this tedious test?
Under this premise, the equipment department has not yet made a detailed division. All equipment, large and small, in the camp is basically the responsibility of the equipment department, and then capacity issues are taken into consideration.
In this way, although Zhuang Mengdie has a very heavy workload, she is indeed the most suitable candidate at the moment.
Zhou Xu, who had arranged this matter, undoubtedly had his own affairs to be busy with, and at the same time he had to take time to go to the construction team to check on the situation.
Although the construction team has already had the experience of successfully building a house, that experience is far from being rich.
At the same time, Zhou Xu paid full attention to that project and gave guidance from the side, thus avoiding a lot of unnecessary trouble.
At this stage, it may be a bit difficult for the construction team to be fully independent.
The day passed quietly, and the camp started to light a fire to cook, and Zhou Xu also made a chore for himself, brushing a layer of oil on the pot, and then directly cracked an egg into it and listened. The 'sizzling' sound came with an intoxicated expression.
Although boiled eggs are more nutritious, poached eggs are more delicious!
During this process, the chefs in the kitchen who were responsible for cooking were watching their leader's operations very carefully.
This wave in front of him is not purely a trick.
As the food materials in the camp gradually became richer, the daily meals of their tribe members also became richer.
And Zhou Xu naturally plans to add some more dishes to everyone.
After frying a poached egg fairly smoothly, he poured some more oil into the pan.
These oils were extracted from animal fat by Zhou Xu before by boiling lard.
After pouring the oil, he simply made stir-fried vegetables and added vegetable soup.
At this time, some people may wonder, isn’t fish soup better than vegetable soup?
Don’t ask, just ask because you are tired of drinking.
Although his tribe members are used to living a hard life, they do not dislike food.
But if you eat too much, you will definitely feel bored.
Now it is undoubtedly a good choice to change the food, mix meat and vegetables, and have a comprehensive nutrition.
The food started to be served. One by one, the tribe members held rice bowls and plates and began to line up to get rice.
Nowadays, the standard meal for dinner in their tribe is basically three baked potatoes, a piece of grilled fish, some fried vegetables, and finally a bowl of vegetable soup.
This configuration, in this era, can be regarded as luxurious, let alone compared with other tribes, even compared with Wang Luchong, who is also a time traveler.
Because even if Wang Luchong had raised chickens on a certain scale before, he still didn't have the ability to let nearly two hundred tribe members eat meat!
But Zhou Xu is different. He is backed by a freshwater lake rich in fish resources. Rounding it off, it is equivalent to sitting on a natural fish farm.
To put it bluntly, their tribe’s fish and meat consumption has actually decreased. In the past, every meal for tribe members consisted of half a grilled fish and a bowl of fish soup.
But now half the grilled fish has become a piece of grilled fish, and they now directly cut the whole fish into pieces for distribution.
Basically, a fish can be cut into at least six pieces. Originally, a fish was only enough for two people, but now it can be divided among six people.
It’s not that Zhou Xu is stingy, but that the dishes in their tribe’s kitchen have become richer.
If the amount of grilled fish is not reduced, then their kitchen will have to add roasted potatoes, stir-fried vegetables and stewed vegetable soup on top of the original grilled fish. I'm too busy.
Under this premise, if the number of fish to be grilled is greatly reduced, then they will have enough energy to make other dishes.
No tribe members have any objections to this change, and many even say that this combination is better.
On the one hand, they can taste more dishes and satisfy their mouths more, and on the other hand, they can feel fuller!
This feeling of fullness is undoubtedly due to the baked potatoes in the set meal.
After possessing potatoes, a crop that can be used as a staple food to satisfy the hunger, his tribe finally lived a life of having enough to eat.
After dinner, Zhou Xu patted his belly with a satisfied expression.
Different from the earlier time when his entire belly was sunken due to hunger and he could only rely on drinking water to satisfy his hunger, now the outlines of abdominal muscles can be vaguely seen on his belly.
This is not dead muscle built by working out and eating protein powder, but by working hard.
Not only him, but now the entire tribe has obviously moved away from the skinny state, and their bodies have gradually become fuller.
This made Zhou Xu start to wonder...
[Is it almost time for me to start training? 】
If you want to develop, military power is a very important piece.
Without a strong enough military force, no matter how well you develop, you are just a piece of flesh in the eyes of others.
In today’s tribes, there are actually no ‘soldiers’ in the true sense.
Once an armed conflict breaks out with other tribes, they will directly draw combat power from the entire tribe.
These tribal warriors who came out to fight may have been farming or fishing before, and were engaged in various jobs, but none of them were professional soldiers!
This is related to the status of the tribe and the structure and system of primitive society.
To put it simply, in this primitive society, everyone had to work, and no tribe had the resources to support a group of professional soldiers who did not work but only trained every day.
But with the recent development of farming, Zhou Xu undoubtedly has a little spare energy.
Of course, this is not the fundamental reason why he came up with the idea of training troops. The fundamental reason why he wants to train troops is to improve the combat effectiveness of the tribe.
Because only in this way can he have the strength to compete with the centaurs and hyenas on the eastern prairie!
Ordinary tribal warriors are just 'part-time' after all, just like ordinary people in modern society.
Taking this as a premise and receiving training can make them stronger!
