Chapter 215 What if?
The food intake of centaurs is generally two to three times that of ordinary humans.
On weekdays, their Prairie Village side is not short of this little food, but the situation is different now. They were in trouble in the previous snowstorm, causing a lot of food losses.
In this case, Zhou Xu didn’t try to make a fool of himself by pretending to be fat, but just followed the normal way of getting food.
However, he was not too stingy. On the basis of the normal portion, he also told the cooks to give an extra portion of the staple food to Drogo and the others.
Of course, the soldiers and villagers in Prairie Village can also add staple food if they need it, but generally there is no need to add vegetables.
After dinner, the centaurs, including Drogo, almost swallowed their tongues.
They were obviously not full, but they were not hungry either.
After all, from Zhou Xu’s perspective, the carbohydrates and nutrients that one portion of their food can provide are completely sufficient.
At this moment, Drogo, who was still clearly obsessed with the dinner he had just eaten, turned to look at Zhou Xu, who had also finished the meal, and then asked something incredible. ……
"How on earth was this done?"
"How was it done?"
Zhou Xu looked confused.
“It’s this food.”
Speaking of this, Drogo paused for a long time. Obviously, he didn’t know how to say this.
He now felt that ordinary words could not fully express his feelings at the moment.
“I have never eaten food like this.”
In this era, people who can roast food before eating it are considered decent people, and people like Zhou Xu, who is a master of cooking Method, even seasoned with salt, where have they ever eaten it?
However, Zhuo Ge’s words brought an even more confused expression on Zhou Xu’s face.
“I’ve always eaten like this. Isn’t that how you eat?”
"..."
Drogo suddenly didn't know what to do when he asked this question.
This time Zhou Xu was just pretending to be confused.
It’s not purely to get Drogo’s mentality, but what do you want him to say about cooking? He didn't have the time to teach Drogo and the others how to cook.
After dinner, Zhou Xu arranged a place for Drogo and the others.
The centaurs were tall, so it was obviously not suitable for them to live in the house. In the end, they built a shed and piled some straw as their resting place.
From the perspective of Zhou Xu and others who have already lived in the house, it is indeed shabby, but he can conclude that the place Drogo and the others lived before was not as good as this.
As expected, the centaurs felt very comfortable as they leaned on the dry straw.
I don’t think it’s crude at all.
This night, Drogo and the others suddenly realized the benefits of having a camp. At least they had never slept so peacefully before.
The next morning, while waiting in line, Drogo's expression was slightly dull.
“You guys eat two meals a day?”
“Ang, what else?”
After hearing the question, Zhou Xu turned around with a confused face. To Drogo.
What greeted him was Drogo’s face that had ‘doubt about life’ written all over it.
Regardless of Drogo, who was deeply in self-doubt, looking at the other centaurs, their performance at this moment can only be described as "joyful". They didn't eat enough for yesterday's dinner, but that doesn't matter. It's not easy for anyone to have a full meal this year, let alone in this season when it's hard to get food.
But they never expected that this prairie village would eat twice a day! ?
Damn! This is two meals!
Even on weekdays, with their excellent hunting abilities, they can get food basically every day, but they have never had such luxury.
At this moment, the centaurs suddenly felt like their original world view had collapsed. Is this true? Are they dreaming? ! Because the food last night was so delicious, I had such a sweet dream!
Until that bite of breakfast was stuffed into my mouth.
Hey! No matter if he is dreaming or not, eat first and then talk!
After breakfast, today’s task of searching for traces of saber-toothed tigers and hunting them will naturally continue.
The mental state of Drogo and the others was obviously better than usual. After saying hello to Zhou Xu, the people on both sides set off in high spirits.
Zhou Xu, on the other hand, came to the breeding farm unhurriedly after handling two matters that were delivered to him early in the morning.
At this moment, the breeding farms have not been rebuilt yet, they are mainly greenhouses.
As soon as Zhou Xu came over, he first asked the breeder about the six wolf cubs.
“Following your instructions, we chopped up the meat and fed it to them. These six little wolf cubs were not afraid of food. They were probably hungry, so they ate it all quickly. Now, "The child is in the straw pile."
Zhou Xu nodded and walked over to take a look.
The pile of straw was surrounded by a large circle of thick wooden boards, as high as a person's chest. On the one hand, this was to protect the wolf cubs from the wind and snow because they were still small, and on the other hand, it was to prevent these wolf cubs from The cub ran away.
When he came over, these six little wolf cubs were fighting on the straw pile.
This should be practicing hunting, which is the instinct of animals.
At this age, the little wolf cub is very heartless. After eating and sleeping here, he soon forgot who his parents were.
When he walked over, the six wolf cubs noticed him, but they didn't react much and just kept doing what they were supposed to do there.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for them.
At least it will allow them to establish a close relationship with these six wolf pups faster.
To tame them, the first thing to do is to get close to them and at the same time make these wolf pups less aggressive towards them.
The core of domestication is actually somewhat similar to the domestication of bison, which is to control the food and let them know that you are the one who gives them food, but there are some differences.
With his thoughts racing, Zhou Xu stretched out his hand and caught a little wolf cub.
What a coincidence, the one caught was the little white wolf.
The little white wolf who was caught in his hand immediately howled and screamed, and at the same time kept struggling, trying to get out of his control.
But unfortunately, it’s useless!
The little white wolf was finally picked up by Zhou Xu on his lap and rubbed at will.
After rubbing his head and body, he didn't forget to squeeze his little paws. When he got to the back, he simply turned the little white wolf over, exposing his belly and moving it.
During this process, the little white wolf seemed to be driven into panic and opened his mouth directly, trying to bite him.
Seeing this, Zhou Xu retracted his hand without haste, and then flicked his fingers to the little guy's chin, causing the little guy to shut his mouth directly.
Raising cats and dogs also have something in common. A very important step is to desensitize them.
The wolf cubs are too young and have no lethality yet. This is the perfect time to desensitize them.
"Do you understand? From now on, before feeding them every day, rub them like this. Don't let go of their paws, mouth, and belly. If they open their mouths, pick up their chin and nose."
"You don't need to rub it for too long at the beginning, just rub it once roughly, put it back after rubbing it, and then give it food. Then slowly increase the time until they no longer resist."
