Chapter Thirty-Six: Looking for an old bull's head for animal skins
When Long Yao heard that he was about to stink the flesh, he was shocked and raised his head, grinning his teeth and showing a fierce look.
When he looked again, Hu Jiaojiao was about to smell the flesh. He immediately changed into a well-behaved and cute expression, tilted his head, and blinked at Hu Jiaojiao harmlessly.
It seems to be saying: I will eat whatever meat my mother makes, I won’t pick on it!
Knowing that a few cubs must have misunderstood, Hu Jiaojiao explained funnyly, "The meat will not smell. Smoked meat can be stored for a long time. My mother did this to keep the meat longer."
Hearing Hu Jiaojiao's words, Long Ling'er suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mom, how long does it take for a long time? Can I keep it for ten days?" Long Ling'er asked curiously, "If we can keep it for ten days, we can hold on until our father sends the prey back, so we don't have to go hungry."
The meat in autumn will rot after ten days of being left. If it is summer, even the insects will grow.
Long Mo...
Hu Jiaojiao smiled and suddenly thought that she could not let Hou Xiaotiao help deliver prey in the future, so she would have to meet Long Mo in person to get prey.
When Hu Jiaojiao thought of seeing the unforgivable and bloodthirsty villain in the book, she felt a little scared.
In order to regain the villain's favor for her, she must not let him live in the forest anymore, and she has to let him live back to the tribe.
She likes cute babies, and it is acceptable to get along with these half-large babies, but she doesn't like Long Mo. Letting him live back is tantamount to living with a strange man.
Hu Jiaojiao only felt that one head was two big.
"Ling'er, how can the flesh be left unbreakable for ten days? She is fooling you, you believe it." Long Zhong suddenly poured cold water on the back, interrupting Hu Jiaojiao's thoughts.
Hu Jiaojiao replied in a gentle voice, "Of course it's more than ten days. The meat is smoked and can be stored for several months."
"Wow! That can be saved until winter, and we can also have meat to eat in winter?" Long Ling'er suddenly opened her eyes wide and her face was full of excitement.
"That's right. Hu Jiaojiao nodded funny.
For a few kids, not being hungry is the happiest thing.
Except for Long Yao who was confused, the other three cubs were all shocked.
Meat can be stored for so long! I haven’t heard of this method in the tribe, how did she know?
Hu Jiaojiao didn't give them the chance to continue asking questions. She arranged one meal for each person, and cut three grilled deer legs into six parts, one of which was boneless and cut into meat slices. This was for Long Yao.
The fragrance was so strong that several little kids had forgotten their doubts just now and stared at Hu Jiaojiao's movements.
Hu Jiaojiao set the meal, turned off the small fire in the stove, turned around, but saw a few cubs sitting straight, Wushuang's dark little eyes staring at her.
"What are you doing when you stand there? Can you just have enough to see if you can get enough?"
She couldn't laugh or cry.
Long Yao sniffed and held back! My mother didn't say she could eat it, so she couldn't eat it.
Long Ling'er couldn't help licking her lips and said obediently, "Mom, eat first."
Although the other three little kids didn't say anything, they agreed to Long Ling'er's words.
Hu Jiaojiao knew that they were not so kind to wait for her to eat, so she must be afraid that she would get angry when she ate first, so she walked over and sat face to face with the people outside, picking up her meal.
"Okay, that mother and the cubs eat together."
There are no tables and chairs, so I can only eat on the ground.
When several kids saw Hu Jiaojiao moving, they also held the bowls and started eating in big mouthfuls.
After dinner, Hu Jiaojiao still went to the river to wash dishes, and also washed the dirty animal skin skirt she had replaced today.
I cleaned up the yard with the moonlight. When I entered the house, a few cubs hurried on their grass beds, but did not run out of the yard like last time.
After being tired for a day, Hu Jiaojiao was so tired that she returned to her grass bed to prepare to go to bed.
As soon as she closed her eyes, Hu Jiaojiao felt something moving in her arms. When she opened her eyes, she saw a little black dragon arching her hand.
As if feeling her gaze, the little black dragon paused, then quickly wrapped the dragon's body, found a suitable position, closed his eyes and went to sleep.
The action was done in one go.
As if he was afraid that Hu Jiaojiao would react and want to drive him away.
Hu Jiaojiao was a little stunned. Several cubs have always hated and feared her. Yao'er actually came to sleep with her on his own initiative. Does this mean that Yao'er accepts her?
She was delighted and gently held Long Yao in her arms, patting her gently to coax him to sleep.
A good night's sleep.
The next morning, Hu Jiaojiao got up and prepared breakfast and removed half of the venison from the meat rack.
As soon as a few kids woke up, they smelled the scent of food, got up from the bed, cleaned up the bed, and went out.
Hu Jiaojiao was about to cut the venison into smaller sizes. Half of the deer was seventy or eighty kilograms. She was too laborious to carry it. She divided it into two parts. It would save much effort to find a long stick to be a shoulder pole.
When I saw the little ones coming out, I greeted them with a smile.
"All up? Come and have breakfast."
Hearing that there was something to eat, Long Yao flew over happily and circled around Hu Jiaojiao's head.
The four cubs all looked at the venison on the ground, with a hint of alertness on their faces.
Feeling the eyes of several cubs, Hu Jiaojiao smiled and explained, "The last time the animal skins were too hard to be worn by my mother. My mother planned to use the meat to find the old cow's head to change some animal skins and make it for you to wear them."
Lao Niuta is the orc with the best skill in tanning animal skins in the tribe. Orcs often use prey to exchange for animal skins.
She thought that there was no shortage of meat at home, so she simply used the meat to change it to a few animal skins and change the baby's clothes first.
After the clothes are ready, wash and dress up a few little kids and keep them slowly. It won’t take long to see a few cute little kids who are soft and chubby.
"Mom, we have animal skin clothes to wear, so we don't need new ones. Is it good to leave the meat to eat..." Long Ling'er looked at the large piece of meat on the ground with some distress.
Knowing that Long Ling'er was reluctant to give up on her flesh, Hu Jiaojiao walked up and touched her head lovingly, comforting her softly.
"Don't worry, my mother won't let you go hungry. You have to eat meat and wear animal skin clothes."
None of the cubs spoke.
Knowing their worries, Hu Jiaojiao said again, "In the future, my mother will go out with the picking team, and you can have food in winter, so you don't have to worry about not having anything to eat."
A trace of suspicion flashed in the dark eyes of the cubs.
Picking team? Will she go out to work to support them?
There is no problem with their ears!
After saying that, Hu Jiaojiao didn't say much, and served the cooked porridge and distributed it to the little ones.
Because Long Yao was so thin yesterday, she didn't dare to let the little ones eat too greasy, so she still cooked the prawns and added some meat and vegetables to the porridge so that the little ones can have a balanced nutrition.
He took six big sweet potatoes from the space, stuffed them into the stove, covered them with charcoal fire that was still emitting sparks, and spread a layer of dust on the top to serve as snacks for the little ones later.
The little ones were reluctant to waste food, and the six people were all separated.
After dinner, Hu Jiaojiao told the little ones to look after the house at home, so she carried the venison into two pieces with her homemade shoulder pole and went out staggeringly.
It is written in the book that the old cow lives in the north of the tribe.
Hu Jiaojiao walked along the north side, but unexpectedly, the old Niuto's home was not found, but she was blocked by a male.
