Chapter 93 He is a witch
After heating the stone pot, Jiang Luoluo poured half a jar of lard she had stored at home directly into the pot. She watched as the white solid slowly softened under the high temperature, turning into a golden liquid.
Once the oil is almost hot, add the chopped scallions and crushed garlic cloves to the oil and sauté.
The next step should be to add some chili sauce or something similar for seasoning. Jiang Luoluo thought for a moment and chose to skip it... She really knew how to make soybean paste, but she also really couldn't make it.
There are no raw materials.
There are two main ingredients used to make soybean paste—wheat and soybeans, but you can also add other ingredients.
However, if the tribe had these two things, things would be very different now. They could have evolved directly from hunting to farming, and there would be no need for them to continue struggling in the Taz Forest.
Jiang Luoluo couldn't imagine how cheerful and happy she would become if the tribe had these two things.
Eating meat does fill you up, but if you don't eat any staple food, you always feel like something is missing, and you can't really say you're full.
Thinking about it this way, Jiang Luoluo realized that she seemed to have been "starving" all along, although she wasn't actually that hungry.
However, without chili sauce, Jiang Luoluo was not to be outdone. She took out her own rich meat broth base and added it, along with some roasted sesame seeds, and stir-fried it.
These fire-flavored flowers were tasted by Chi, and they were extremely spicy. Jiang Luoluo used them without feeling bad.
Once the aroma of the roasted fish fillets develops, pour in the previously prepared bitter salt water. After the water boils, add the marinated fish bones and cook for a while until the fish soup is flavorful. Then, add the fish fillets.
Once the fish slices turned white, Jiang Luoluo instructed Chi Hemao to move the stone pot aside and manually turn off the heat to cool it down.
At Jiang Luoluo's request, an unused wooden basin was prepared in advance as a container.
Jiang Luoluo laid some wild vegetables at the bottom of the wooden basin, took out the fish bones and fish slices from the stone pot, and topped them with a layer of roasted Sichuan peppercorns, minced garlic, and chopped green onions.
On the other side, Brown picked up the preheated lard and, following the cub's instructions, poured it over the pile of things, immediately making a sizzling sound.
Here's how to make a modified version of boiled fish.
Of course, the fish soup left in the pot wasn't wasted either. It could be drunk directly as meat soup or cooked with some meat chunks.
However, because it contains a large amount of flaming flowers, only Aka can enjoy it.
He Du could only eat a few slices of fish and drink a couple of sips of soup to taste the flavor.
Mao and Jiang Luoluo were only allowed to dip a little bit of the soup in it to taste it, and were not even allowed to eat a single bite.
Jiang Luoluo looked at the delicious food in front of her, but she couldn't taste it. She sighed pitifully, turned around and prepared food for herself and the others, and stopped looking at it.
The more I look at it, the more I crave it.
Only Aka was particularly happy eating there.
After finishing the fish, half a bowl of oily broth was left. According to Jiang Luoluo's habits, this should be considered kitchen waste and should be thrown away directly.
However, it was clearly unlikely that such a wasteful act would be made in the tribe, and Chi even wanted to pick up the bowl and drink all the soup.
Jiang Luoluo stopped her... It would be strange if she didn't get an upset stomach after drinking such a big pot of oil.
Jiang Luoluo told Chi to take the broth home and add a little water to cook the meat for dinner that night; no other ingredients were needed.
This amount of soup, with added water, should last about two days. After two days, when the soup has been diluted enough, you can drink it directly without any problems.
Chi didn't understand, but she was obedient and wrote down everything that Hei had conveyed.
Jiang Luoluo didn't need to help with the remaining chores, so she ran to the door of the wooden house and knocked on the shaman's door.
"Is there something you need, Luo?" Wu opened the door gently, looking down at the cub. He loved the cub and the wonderful things it brought that made his people happy.
Jiang Luoluo pointed to the herb field behind the wooden house.
Can I go take a look?
Wu chuckled, "Of course, if Luo has anything he wants to take with him, that's fine too."
He was also looking forward to seeing what the cubs would discover that could be used to make delicious food.
Jiang Luoluo's eyes were bright. After nodding her thanks, she ran towards the herb field.
Before he could even take a step, the witch swiftly grabbed him by the back of the neck and lifted him up, leaving him stuck in place after a few struggles.
Jiang Luoluo turned around in confusion. Didn't she already agree?
“Some of the herbs inside are unsafe. I’ll take you there. Don’t wander off, Luo.” Wu smiled and put Jiang Luoluo down.
Jiang Luoluo scratched her head. She had always thought that Wu was thin and frail, but it turned out that she was indeed a member of the tribe and her strength was undeniable.
The herb field behind the wooden house was not orderly; it was a patchwork of irregular shapes of various sizes, with a path for people to walk through between the different herbs.
The outermost layer, most easily accessible to the tribespeople, consists of common, non-toxic herbs, which are the most numerous and have the widest range of uses.
The shaman seemed to be doing it unintentionally, casually explaining the effects and characteristics of each herb to Jiang Luoluo.
The further they went, the smaller the herb fields became, and the plants began to pose different dangers. The shaman began to warn Jiang Luoluo to be careful not to touch them.
Some people experience numbness and itching upon contact, others experience redness and swelling, and some even experience direct skin rot...
Jiang Luoluo also became more and more cautious from the initial treasure-hunting mode, because the witch behind her said that those things were really scary.
It's not that they're deliberately trying to scare people; on the contrary, the calmer and more evenly they speak in their calm and even tone, the more terrifying the details become.
It felt just like real life.
The witch couldn't help but laugh, and patted the cautious cub's head. "I'm here, Luo, you don't need to worry too much."
It's really fun to scare kids.
The shaman did not lie, nor would he lie. These herbs can be grown here because they are not very harmful; as long as they are dealt with in time, they will not have any impact.
Moreover, given the physical condition of the tribespeople, this minor injury was nothing. The shaman had intended for the cub to remember the characteristics of these plants, but he hadn't expected to see the cub's reaction.
So, without thinking, I went on to say a few more words about the dangers, and as I had hoped, I saw the cubs becoming increasingly alarmed.
However, before actually frightening the cub, the shaman spoke up to reassure it. With him there, how could the cub possibly be harmed?
He is a witch.
