Four Husbands' Favorable Cultivation Record
The next day, Mo Yuer didn't oversleep for once. Sang Zhen had already prepared a dish of wild vegetables and stir-fried meat for her breakfast, but the others hadn't eaten yet.
Tai Li Sha sat not far away from her, gazing at her and her food with a resentful look.
Mo Yang turned sideways, not wanting to have any more contact with her, even eye contact. This woman was too detestable to her.
"Mo Yu'er, eat quickly. Later, I'll go with you to pick wild vegetables and mushrooms." Sang Zhen was slightly excited. Normally, women only moved around the cave for safety and couldn't help the tribe find food. Now they could go pick wild vegetables and mushrooms, she felt very happy.
"Moyi'er, I want to go too." Silfeny also walked over and said with great anticipation.
"No, this won't do, you're still pregnant." Mo Yier was frightened. Although picking mushrooms and wild vegetables was only on the outskirts of the forest, walking such a long distance was also dangerous for a pregnant woman. Looking at Silfeny's big belly, it was at least seven or eight months... What if she gave birth prematurely... Ah, bad luck won't come, good luck will!
"Yes, Silafanni, you're about to give birth, so it's better for you to stay in the tribe. Besides, there are things to do in the tribe too. After you've given birth, we'll take you with us." Sangzhen spoke gently to the people in the tribe and patiently persuaded Silafanni.
Silkina touched her round belly and could only do so!
Apart from Xī Fǎng Nī, there were other women who wanted to go, but Sāng Zhēn did not agree. There were still many things to be taken care of in the tribe, and if they all went, who would do these tasks? In the Kǎn Internal Tribe, Sāng Zhēn was considered a small leader among these women. Finally, it was decided that from now on, the women would take turns going with Mò Yì ér to pick herbs every day, and only then did everyone agree to come down.
Mo Yu'er ate her own breakfast and then took yesterday's leftover wild vegetables to feed the little rabbits. After a whole night, the little rabbits had become familiar with their new home and were very well-behaved.
As they were about to set off, Tairenisa came over carrying her stone knife: "I'm going too."
Mo Yi'er and Sang Zhen both furrowed their brows, the little rascal was so big, and on top of that, he was still a child, speaking without reserve, and viciously opening his mouth: "What are you going to do? Cause trouble?"
"I'm going to pick too, you little devil!" Tairen Sasha waved her stone knife a few times at Xiaolong, as if threatening. But Xiaolong, who had gone hunting with the men before, was not afraid at all and even stuck out his tongue at Tairen Sasha, making her very angry early in the morning. "I'm going anyway, humph!"
No choice, Mo Yier could only let Tailisha follow, but the three of them all ignored her, not wanting to talk to her, otherwise she would be caught up in another big fuss.
Still on the outskirts of the jungle, digging wild vegetables and picking mushrooms, Mo Yi'er patiently told Sang Zhen which mushrooms were edible and which were poisonous. Taili Sha was restless, holding a stone knife and running around, most of the mushrooms she picked were poisonous, and she proudly said to Mo Yi'er: "Look, the mushrooms I picked are big and look good."
To avoid poisoning, Mo Yi'er emphasized many times that those brightly colored and beautiful mushrooms are poisonous. But Tai Lisha was unwilling to throw them away, and shouted: "You must be jealous of my good-looking mushrooms!"
No choice, Mo Yi'er could only forcibly throw away Taili Sha's mushroom. Provoking Taili Sha to another loud shout, Mo Yi'er felt that her eardrums were almost shattered by her.
"Alright, Tailisha, if you continue like this, we'll tell the chief and send you back to your tribe." Sang Zhen threatened Tailisha with a headache, otherwise, Tailisha would not calm down.
"How can that be? I haven't even gotten pregnant with Chu Yan's child yet!"
Look, here we go again, always bringing up the topic of having a man's child.
But Chu Yan didn't even want to look at her, how could she be bad? Besides, Chu Yan wasn't the kind of person who would resort to force, otherwise Taoli Sha would have been taken advantage of long ago.
Fortunately, men have a lot more strength than women, otherwise someone like Taili Sha would be capable of doing who knows what.
Although Tai Li Sha retorted to Sang Zhen, she also had no choice but to shut her mouth temporarily. With her around, the efficiency of doing things was not very high. The four of them only managed to pick a full two baskets of wild vegetables and mushrooms near dusk.
When they returned to the cave, all the men of the tribe had come back. Chu Huo wanted to go forward to welcome them, but he stopped in his tracks when he saw Tai Li Sha. Fan Ge, on the other hand, came over happily and took the lotus leaf from Mo Yi Er, helping to carry today's harvest.
Now, there are four good thin stone boards in the tribe for dinner, and Kasar also took out a stone pot that had been polished for a day and night. His eye sockets were dark, obviously he hadn't slept all night yesterday, which made Mo Yi'er feel very guilty.
Kasa didn't think so, he was happy to be able to do something for the tribe. He secretly lamented that he hadn't thought of it before. "The stone pot can be used now, starting tomorrow, I'll polish a few more, and I believe Mo Yi'er will make many delicious things with the stone pot."
Mo Yu'er smiled. Indeed, with a pot, the variety of dishes that could be cooked was greatly increased, and many flavors they had never tasted before could be created.
Because there were many stone slabs, the women in the tribe used them to cook dinner. At first, they were not skilled, but women are born chefs and quickly mastered the technique, also knowing how to fry out oil with fatty meat. Yesterday, Mo Yier was particularly serious when she was learning.
Mo Yu'er used a stone pot to make mushroom stewed meat, compared to the stone plate mushrooms and meat's oily aroma, the mushroom stewed meat can better bring out the fragrance of the meat soup. Unfortunately, there was no spoon or bowl, so they could only wait for the meat soup to cool down a bit before pouring it onto leaves that could hold water, using tree leaves as a substitute for bowls.
The mushroom stew was served, and everyone had a small taste of it. They all praised it again. Mo Yier got up to boil water, blanched the wild vegetables with salt and a little oil, and made a cold dish. Women liked this way of doing things very much, while men preferred the mushroom stew even more.
Mo Yu'er finished cooking the wild vegetables, and Shi Guo was taken away by Xi Fen Ni to make a big pot of mushroom stewed meat. This made everyone eat their fill. This method of using water as soup reduced the amount of meat used tonight, and the tribespeople were all amazed.
Mo Yi'er took advantage of Chu Yan's high spirits and brought up the topic of breakfast. "Actually, having only one dinner a day doesn't necessarily mean we can save anything. This way, at dinner time they will eat more, and during the day when the men go hunting, they won't have the energy. If in the morning they could eat a bowl of meat soup, the men would be full of energy, maybe they'll even bring back more prey!"
Chu Yan didn't answer immediately, but remained silent, thinking about Mo Yi's words.
Fan Wu sat beside him, tilting his head thoughtfully and said, "Hmm, I think Mo Yi's words make sense."
"So, do gods eat two meals a day?" He remembered that Mo Yi'er seemed to have said something like that last time, but it didn't seem to be two meals.
"No, it's breakfast, lunch and dinner." Mo Yier feared that Chu Chuo and Fan Ge wouldn't understand, so she used her hands to gesture the number three.
"Oh, so the gods eat this many meals. Mo Yi'er will finish dinner soon, teach me to count!" Chu Yan was shocked by Mo Yi'er's food yesterday and forgot to learn counting, today he must not miss it.
