He wants to fight.

Shen Nong took two bites of the barbecue. It was all prepared beforehand, and he still couldn't do it himself.

After feeling something in his stomach, Shen Nong stopped eating.

He waved his hand and asked Yu Ji to come over and try the barbecue.

Yu Ji had just finished a bowl of meat soup and was not hungry, but the aroma of meat that was drilling into his nose was really mouth-watering.

I really want to pick up a piece and try it to see what it tastes like.

Shen Nong handed a pair of wooden chopsticks to Yu Ji, and then Shen Nong watched the scene of "early human domestication of chopsticks" for several minutes.

This is less flexible than when Baoqiu and his team first used it.

Shen Nong suppressed his smile, picked up a piece of meat and put it to Yu Ji's mouth, "Don't pick that up anymore, eat this."

Yu Ji leaned over and took the piece of barbecued meat, which was fat and lean and had just the right amount of saltiness and flavor, into his mouth.

Mmmm, yummy!

But why does he feel cold?

Yu Ji tilted his head slightly, and the moment his eyes met Ze, he quickly turned his head away and dared not look again.

He ate a piece of meat, right?

Why does this guy look like he has devoured their entire tribe?

Shen Nong picked up another piece and let Yu Ji eat it.

Although Yu Ji wanted to eat, he couldn't stand the cold gaze like the wind. He waved his hands repeatedly, "I'm full."

Shen Nong lost the joy of feeding the animals, but when he saw Queen Ze standing beside him, his eyes lit up.

Just now, Yu Ji did not touch the chopsticks, but took the piece of meat directly, so Shen Nong held the piece of meat without letting go, and instead put it to Ze's mouth.

He laughed and said, "Ah, open your mouth."

Ze was stunned for a moment, then obediently lowered his head and took the piece of meat into his mouth.

Shen Nong nodded in satisfaction, then took another piece and said, "Eat more."

Yu Ji watched helplessly as the ferocious beast that looked like it was about to eat people instantly turned into a harmless, well-behaved and obedient little rabbit.

Lang Yu stood aside, looking at Shen Nong and the others with a complicated expression.

He was now quite certain that the priest and Ze were in a relationship that had led them to the cave.

But now that spring has arrived...

Lang Yu stared at the thin and slender back of their priest, looking left and right, then looked at Ze's tall figure. He was very worried.

Orcs are very fierce when they drill into caves in spring. Can the priest, with his small body, withstand it?

Lang Yu fiddled with the barbecue absentmindedly, while Bao Qiu prepared the meat and buried it in the ground, then started a fire. He was also very hungry, so he prepared to eat a few bites of barbecue to fill his stomach.

Then he saw Lang Yu with a sad face. He touched Lang Yu's arm with his elbow and asked in confusion: "What are you thinking about? Your meat is about to be mushy."

Lang Yu then turned his gaze towards his own barbecue and saw that it was not much burnt, just a little brown at the edges.

It just so happens that Baoqiu likes this kind of thing very much and thinks it tastes better.

Lang Yu did not intend to tell Bao Qiu that he had discovered the relationship between the priest and Ze. He thought that the priest did not say it because he probably did not want them to know.

If he had said it before the priest, it would definitely make the priest unhappy.

Lang Yu moved all the roasted meat with browned edges to the side where Bao Qiu was standing, and grilled some meat again. "This is what you like, eat it quickly."

He didn't answer a single word of Bao Qiu's question.

Lang Yu didn't explain the reason, and Bao Qiu didn't ask any further questions. They just picked up their chopsticks and started eating in big mouthfuls.

These roasts were just enough to fill their stomachs, but they didn't plan to rely on them to fill their stomachs today. They were all waiting for the stewed meat and broth.

Shen Nong looked at some wild vegetables given by the Yu tribe. He was curious about the taste. Now that he had to wait for the meat, he might as well get some wild vegetables to try.

Lang Yu was not in the mood to grill meat, so he volunteered to help Shen Nong prepare wild vegetables.

Wash the wild vegetables with water, blanch them in hot water, then Lang Yu takes out a sharper bone knife and starts cutting the vegetables.

This bone knife is made of the bones of giant beasts. This kind of bone is harder than the bones of animals we usually see and is not easy to break. If it is properly preserved and polished carefully, its sharpness is no weaker than that of iron.

The grinding of the Mu tribe's bone knives is handed over to the Shixia production team.

Influenced by Shen Mei's carved dagger, Shi Xia consciously made the bone knife look similar to a dagger when he was polishing it.

I also wanted to imitate the carvings on the dagger handle and tried to carve patterns on the bone knife. However, in the end, because I didn't have a professional carving knife and the dagger's pattern was really complicated, and Shi Xia was very busy, I tried several times and found that I couldn't restore it, so I gave up.

However, although there are no three-dimensional patterns carved on the bone knives of the Mu tribe, there are flat carvings.

The lines of the pattern are a bit jerky, but you can see that they are getting smoother.

This was the result of Shi Xia giving up carving patterns and settling for the next best thing. Although she gave up the idea of ​​carving patterns on the bone knife, she did not give up the idea of ​​making a beautiful bone knife.

Lang Yu doesn't like these flowers and plants very much. He thinks wolves are the most beautiful.

Every time he cut wild vegetables, he could always see the carvings on the bone knife, and he sighed silently, thinking that he would have to ask Shixia to carve a majestic wolf on his bone knife after returning.

Otherwise, if there was a flower on the bone knife, he would feel that his bone knife was weak.

Lang Yu was very skillful. He cut the wild vegetables quickly with his knife.

Following Shen Nong's instructions, I put some oil on the stone slab, and when the oil was almost hot, I put the chopped wild vegetables on it and stirred them back and forth with chopsticks.

Shen Nong didn't think that wild vegetable soup would be very delicious, and he didn't want to try it at all.

The clay pot cannot withstand the hot oil temperature. Their clay pot will probably have small cracks after being handled once.

It's not worth wasting a clay pot to cook a dish. Now that there are no woks, this can be considered cooking.

The meat oil crackled on the stone slab when heated, and when the wild vegetables were poured on it, the sound became a little muffled.

A thin layer of white smoke slowly rose up, and the sound of "sizzling" on the stone slab was endless. Lang Yu used clean chopsticks to carefully pick the wild vegetables on the stone slab, fearing that he would pick some of the wild vegetables off if he was not careful.

Shen Nong saw that the wild vegetables had become soft and their color had changed, and he guessed that they were ripe.

Just let Langyu sprinkle some fine salt and stir-fry the wild vegetables, and that's it.

Shen Nong picked up the chopsticks, picked up some and put it in his mouth to taste.

His eyebrows raised slightly, obviously not expecting that this would actually taste good.

This wild vegetable has very little earthy smell, almost none, and has a unique plant fragrance. I don't know if it's because it was fried with animal oil, but the originally bland taste is tinged with some animal flavor, which makes the taste of the dish more layered.

The taste of the dish itself relieves the greasy taste of excessive meat oil, which simply complements each other and is delicious!

Shen Nong couldn't help but eat some more and asked others around him to try it too.

Lang Yu directly used the chopsticks he had just used for cooking to pick up a piece of vegetable and put it into his mouth. He swore that this was the first time in his life that he liked eating wild vegetables!

Yu Ji smelled an incredible aroma while cooking. He knew that the wild vegetable would be delicious, but he didn't expect it to be so delicious.

It was no worse than the broth he had just drunk, and was even better than the broth they made.

In the past, the wild vegetables they ate were particularly unpalatable. Some of them had a sour taste in the mouth, and in severe cases, the tongue would become numb.

This was the first time he had eaten such delicious wild vegetables.

This fair-skinned priest not only loves trading, but is also a great eater.

Every way of eating he thinks of makes things taste better.

Yu Ji thought that the Yu tribe would also cook wild vegetables according to their way of eating in the future. He pointed at the small bamboo tube that Lang Yu had poured the oil into at the beginning and asked Shen Nong, "What's in this?"

He remembered that at the beginning, the orcs who were picking wild vegetables poured some of the contents of the bamboo tube onto the stone slab.

Shen Nong replied: "Oil."

It just so happens that the oil here is almost used up. Baoqiu and his friends hunted a wild boar of considerable size today. Let's make some pig fat.

Shen Nong called Yu Ji, "Come here, I'll show you."

When processing the prey, Bao Qiu also thought that the oil was almost gone and knew that he had to refine the oil, so he cleaned the pig fat and put it aside.

It comes in handy now.

Yu Ji watched helplessly as a pile of white stuff called lard slowly turned into liquid.

During the whole process, Yu Ji didn't dare to blink, it was too magical.

Shen Nong took out the oil residue, sprinkled some fine salt on part of it and some chili powder on part of it.

He said to Yu Ji, "Try it."

Yu Ji picked up a piece of oil residue sprinkled with fine salt and put it into his mouth. It had a rich fragrance as soon as it entered his mouth. After chewing it, the crispy and salty feeling made Yu Ji fall in love with it instantly.

Delicious! So delicious!

Looking at Yu Ji's expression, Shen Nong knew that he liked it. Oil residue was one of the favorite foods of the children in the Mu tribe. Every time the tribe refined oil, there were always a bunch of children waiting outside to eat oil residue.

“Is it delicious?”

Yu Ji nodded frantically.

"Try this one."

Shen Nong pushed the portion sprinkled with chili towards Yu Ji. Yu Ji didn't suspect anything and pinched one and put it in his mouth.

! !

What's that smell?

Tongue hurts!

Yu Ji felt a slight stinging pain in his mouth, but the more it hurt, the more delicious it tasted. He was reluctant to spit it out and even wanted to have another one.

Yu Ji, who had never eaten spicy food before, had sweat on his forehead by the time he finished chewing.

Shen Nong saw that Yu Ji was eating happily and smiled slightly. "You have seen the method of refining oil clearly. Later, your tribe can also refine it by yourself."

Yu Ji took a deep breath to relieve the burning pain in his mouth.

His voice was intermittent, "Why...are you...helping us so much?"

Shen Nong shrugged, "It's just some ways of eating, nothing more."

He can't say that he wants you to grow some meat so that you can work hard for him after you are full.

Yu Ji heard this and looked straight at Shen Nong. His eyes were filled with emotions. Their tribe had always been rejected by other tribes, and Yu Ji had never thought that one day he would be able to meet someone who would accept his tribe.

Yu Ji pinched another piece of oil residue and stuffed it into his mouth, thinking secretly in his heart that the Yu tribe must help them transport goods in the future.

No matter how difficult it is, we must do it.

Shen Nong didn't know what was going on in Yu Ji's mind, but he felt that he quite liked spicy food, so he gave Yu Ji a lot of oil residue sprinkled with chili powder.

A kind reminder: "Eat less spicy food. If you eat too much spicy food suddenly, your stomach will hurt."

Yu Ji nodded and looked at the red powder on the oil residue. So this is called spicy?

Mm, this is spicy and delicious.

After eating and drinking, Shen Nong thought about some seafood in the sea. He thought about making some fishing nets and then letting the Yu tribe try fishing.

He first asked Yu Ji and the others what common seafood they had when they were collecting kelp.

As a priest, Yu Ji had rarely been there, so he went to find Yingya, who was the captain of the hunting team and knew more about the matter.

According to Yingya's description, Shen Nong was sure that they could obtain some shellfish, fish, shrimps and crabs relatively easily.

Apart from fish, Yingya seemed a little disgusted when talking about the other dishes, mainly because he felt that they had no meat and were hard on the teeth when eaten.

There was a man in their hunting team who tried to bite a crab with his teeth, but his mouth was clamped by the crab's claws and he bled a lot.

It tastes like shells, is hard, and doesn't fill your stomach.

But Shen Nong still wanted these. He described the appearance of the oysters in detail. He wanted to make oyster sauce.

Yingya almost thought he had misheard, "You said you want to exchange meat and animal skins for these?"

Shen Nong nodded, "Yeah."

Yingya looked at Shen Nong strangely. He had heard some information about the person in front of him from the priest today.

Although he was grateful to this fair and pretty little priest for making a deal with the Yu tribe, and he could understand the deal more or less, but now, he couldn't understand it at all.

Shen Nong was not in a hurry either. He also understood that in the animal world, the value of prey lies in how much meat it contains and whether it can fill the stomach.

What's more, these people don't know how to eat, so they can't taste the freshness of delicacies from land and sea placed in front of them.

Everyone has a desire for food. Before eating, they can still resist it, but after eating delicious food, it becomes difficult to resist the temptation.

However, Shen Nong doesn't have the energy to popularize delicious eating methods now, so he wants to get more seasonings first, which are easier to trade.

Seeing Shen Nong's serious look and firm attitude, Yingya had no choice but to nod and said, "The hunting team will set out tomorrow to get the green grass. I'll have people pay attention to what you want."

Yu Ji corrected: "It's kelp, not green grass."

"Oh, kelp." Yingya said helplessly.

After discussing all matters, Yu Ji arranged accommodation for the people from the Mu tribe.

There are not many caves in the Yu tribe, and two people from the hunting team live in one cave.

The thatched hut outside is a bit shabby, and the orcs living in the hut are generally children and the elderly.

They were all a little afraid of the powerful orcs, so they had no choice but to let Bao Qiu and his men squeeze together with the people from the Yu tribe hunting team.

Yingxi was still in a coma. Yu Ji had placed Yingxi in his own cave in order to take better care of him.

So Shen Nong lived in the cave of Yingxi, and Ze, in order to protect Shen Nong, also moved in.

Ze made a soft bed for Shen Nong just as he did when they camped outside before, and still sat beside Shen Nong's bed.

Shen Nong didn't think anything of it. He was a little sleepy after a tiring day and closed his eyes after a while.

The moon was high in the sky. This cave was not like a wooden village, with wooden boards serving as doors.

The ground in front of the cave was sprinkled with bright white moonlight, a cold color, and extremely quiet.

Ze suddenly opened his eyes in the dark night, his breathing became heavier, the animal blood in his body surged, and his body temperature gradually rose.

The whole body was hot, and Ze's mind became confused.

He looked at his body helplessly, not understanding what had happened to him suddenly.

No, it wasn’t sudden either.

He had been vaguely feeling that something was wrong with him these past few days, but today it was more serious than usual and he couldn't suppress it.

Ze felt that his consciousness was a little fuzzy, and there was a force contained in his body, and he really wanted to find an outlet to vent.

He wants to fight.

A hint of warmth touched his arm, and he stepped back suddenly.

Then he saw Shen Nong's brows slightly wrinkled in his sleep, stared at him for a long time, stretched out his hand, and slowly moved closer.

Smooth over with fingertips.

He had adapted to the darkness at this time and his eyesight became extremely good. The figure of the person in front of him, rising and falling slightly due to his breathing, made Ze feel more at ease.

But in the end, he discovered that the more he stared at the priest, the stronger the inexplicable power in his heart became.

The air seemed to become thinner. Ze quickly withdrew his gaze and did not dare to stay any longer. He got up in a hurry and left the cave.
