Chapter 57 Do You Like It?

"Goddess, is this all right?"

"Just let it dry in the sun."

The others were skeptical, but thinking that it was the goddess who said it, they suppressed their doubts in their hearts.

"How long does it take to dry into the dried persimmons you mentioned?"

"About ten days."

They nodded. Whether it was true or not, they would know in ten days.

It was still early. Shen Xiaoxiao cleaned the cave and moved the water tank to the front of the cave. She wanted to fill it with water, but then she realized that there was no bucket. She sighed lightly. It seemed that she had to get a bucket, but now she only had a bone knife. It was too difficult to split the firewood.

She originally wanted to use a bowl to collect water and then pour it into the water tank, but she tried it. Although she could lift it, it was very difficult. After all, the bowl was heavy to begin with, and it was filled with water. It would be even heavier, so she gave up the idea for fear of breaking it.

She thought about waiting for Xiao Yan to come back and let him fill it. He hunts all year round and is very strong, so it is not a problem to fill some water. Otherwise, she would wait for her to find a way to get a wooden barrel.

The witch doctor was full of curiosity when she saw the cooked pots and bowls. After hearing the purpose of these things, her eyes lit up. She looked at Shen Xiaoxiao with enthusiasm, and even a little tears.

Shen Xiaoxiao couldn't understand her eyes for a while, and frowned slightly, "Witch doctor, what are you doing? "

"Goddess..." The witch doctor's voice choked with sobs, and she was so excited that she couldn't speak.

Shen Xiaoxiao was even more puzzled, and her heart was full of doubts. She didn't understand what she meant. She wanted to ask clearly, but the witch doctor had recovered, as if the loss of control just now was not her.

Shen Xiaoxiao suppressed her doubts in her heart. She still respected the witch doctor very much. After all, when she stayed in the tribe before, the witch doctor did not embarrass her, and even helped her. She was not the kind of ungrateful person. Since she didn't want to say it, she didn't ask. When she wanted to say it, she would know it naturally.

The sun set in the west, Shen Xiaoxiao took back the dried wolfberries, white fungus and persimmons. She moved two tripods to the cave to hang them up in order to avoid dirtying the persimmons. Fortunately, the cave was big enough, otherwise it would be too crowded to put so many things.

When she finished all these, Xiao Yan also came back. He was carrying a basket on his shoulder with three chickens hanging on it and holding a pure white object in his hand. She hurried to meet him and saw what he was holding. It turned out to be a pure white fox with snow-white fur and a tail drooping weakly. It was obvious that it had died long ago.

"Where did you hunt it?" Shen Xiaoxiao was very curious. Foxes are cunning and flexible. It takes a lot of effort to hunt them. Moreover, the fur is so intact, which requires even more energy.

"Do you like it? I'll make you a fur coat." When Xiao Yan saw this fox, his first reaction was to use the fox's skin to make a fur skirt for Xiaoxiao. It would definitely look good. After all, Xiaoxiao's skin is so white.

"For me? "Shen Xiaoxiao was a little bit unbelievable. After all, this is wild fur, and it is so complete. If it were put in modern times, it would be a hot commodity, not to mention in this era where everyone wears animal skins.

One more animal skin means they can have more things to keep warm in winter.

She didn't expect Xiao Yan to give her this precious fox skin without blinking an eye.

"Well, do you like it?" Xiao Yan looked natural.

"I like it." Shen Xiaoxiao smiled widely. Since he wanted to treat her well, she would naturally not be tactless. Of course, she would also treat him well in her own way. The relationship between the two was mutual. No matter what kind of relationship, it needs to be managed. A relationship where only one party pays will not last long.

Xiao Yan raised the corner of his lips, "I'll hunt for you next time I see it."

"Okay." Shen Xiaoxiao agreed with a smile, "Put the things down first, and use the meat to make some soup later."

"Okay. "Xiao Yan put the pheasants he caught into the chicken coop and threw some grass in for them to eat.

The hunters also came back. When they saw the fox in Xiao Yan's hand, they excitedly surrounded him and said, "Xiao Yan, where did you hunt the fox? And the fur is so intact."

"I hunted it in the mountains." Xiao Yan's expression was indifferent. They all knew him and didn't think there was anything wrong with his tone. One of them turned his eyes slightly and said, "Xiao Yan, can I exchange this fur with you?"

Xiao Yan immediately took the fox back and refused mercilessly, "No. "If it was before, he might have agreed, but this is for Xiaoxiao.

The man wanted to fight for it after hearing what Xiao Yan said, but after seeing Xiao Yan's expression, he knew that there was no room for negotiation, so he gave up.

Soon, Xiao Yan skillfully peeled off a whole piece of skin and washed the meat. Shen Xiaoxiao took some to make soup, skewered the rest and grilled them, and asked Xiao Yan to carry water to fill the water tank.

Soon, a smell of meat came into everyone's nose. Different from the smell of barbecue, this smell was indescribably sweet. Everyone looked in the direction of the smell and found something burning on the fire. There was a puff of smoke rising from it. The smell came from here.

They didn't understand what it was. Those who already knew the function of it said, "This is a pot. The goddess uses it to cook food."

"How do you know?" The others were a little surprised. They were sure that this was the first time they saw it. How did they know?

"Today we used it to boil water with the goddess. "The man said with a proud look on his face.

The people who went out to hunt and pick were confused and didn't understand what they were talking about, so they asked carefully and were shocked to learn that this was what the goddess had made out of clay before.

This can actually be put on the fire to roast?

For a moment, they couldn't help but walk over, "Goddess, what are you doing?"

"Cooking soup."

"Soup?"

"It's just food boiled with water."

"Can this thing be eaten? Isn't food used to be roasted?" Someone asked in confusion.

"Yes, roasting is just one way. There are many other ways to cook food, such as boiling in water, steaming, frying, and stir-frying..." The conditions do not allow it now, so they can only boil and roast.

Others were full of doubts, but the fragrance in the pot became stronger and stronger. They couldn't help swallowing their saliva. It seemed really delicious, but it didn't look like much, so they were embarrassed to ask the goddess to share it with them.

Shen Xiaoxiao didn't say anything either. After all, there was only this much. If she shared it, it wouldn't be enough for everyone. Besides, she was planning to cook it for herself, so how could she share it all?

There is a saying that goes, it's not the lack that is worrying, but the inequality. If she asked to share it with them, it would be embarrassing if there was not enough to share. I don't know what those who didn't share would think at that time.

Seeing that they were standing there motionless, Shen Xiaoxiao was helpless, "You go back to eat the food." It was useless to stay here, and she had nothing to share with them.

How could they not know, but the smell was really good, they might as well smell it.

Seeing their eyes, Shen Xiaoxiao silently closed the lid and said calmly, "It's not cooked yet." It was embarrassing to eat it with them staring at her like that.

The others swallowed their saliva, looked back every few steps and left, and then continued to grill the food.
