Chapter 043 Rare Salt
Seven or eight hairy men had long been politely squeezed by the bonfire, flipping on the ground to find the food residues thrown by Gu Yi and the others into their big mouths, watching them stuff the bare crab shells into their mouths and chew them sweetly. Although they were drooling at the grilled fish and prawns inserted by the bonfire, they did not dare to move around. They only used their big eyes, which were clearly distinguished by black and white, and kept wandering between the fish and Gu Yi.
Gu Yi understood that they were afraid of killing a group of black-toothed thieves. Among the people who were more close to animals, they must have regarded the strong as the most respected model. The previous battle was recognized by them. If they did not allow it, they would not dare to move the food of their "strong" casually.
Bai Min and Rou Pu sat down silently around the bonfire. Gu Yi sighed and asked Niu Sha, Ge Qiao and Xiao Yuba to stew the millet and grains that had not been used up before in a pot. He got up and put a gun blade on a wooden stick, stabbed dozens of big fish by the river, washed it and inserted it on the branches and baked it.
But a group of hungry people could wait for the big fish to cook. They were so hungry that they were greedy that they were greedy for a while, and then they couldn't help but snatch the half-baked fish meat and chewed it. It was obvious that they were hungry.
The small piece of fist-sized brine crystal just now was not enough to filter out the salt foam that was not enough for grilling fish. Gu Yi simply put it directly in a copper dish for them to dip the grilled fish as ingredients, which at least it tastes a bit salty.
A group of Jie people didn't know what the white powder Gu Yi took out was. They just hugged the roasted half-baked big fish and swallowed it. It was not until Gu Yi grabbed a fish and dipped it in salt foam and signaled them to eat it that they realized it, and curiously stuffed it into their mouths.
Rou Puman and Mao people shouted in surprise, obviously recognizing what the white powder was.
But what surprised Gu Yi was that the thick and savage Rou Puman and the Mao people did not compete. Instead, they came forward one by one with the rules, grabbed a small pinch of salt foam from the copper plate and poured it into their mouths, and then licked the fingers that were grabbing the salt and immediately moved out of the way. They honestly asked the companions behind to come up to eat salt. They were all squinted by the salty eyebrows, but they looked happy with their mouths open.
After eating salt, Rou Puman and the Mao people looked at the copper dishes as if they were looking at some holy object. They also became more respectful and respectful to Gu Yi. Although they still looked at the copper dishes containing salt foam with longing, they would never come up to grab the salt foam.
"Eat! Eat! There's not much anyway!"
Gu Yi waved his hand indifferently. The salt foam in the copper dish was grabbed by the dirty claws of Rou Puman and the Mao people. He would not eat it again even if he was beaten to death. The rest was also a waste.
The barbarians and the hairy people were all shaking their big heads honestly, stuffing the bloody fish into their mouths, and staring at the copper dishes containing salt. They were very stingy with a salted fish for three years and only after two bowls of rice were enough to take a look at the salted fish.
"Taibo...ancient?"
Bai Min, who seemed to be the leader, picked up a small pinch of salt foam and put it in his mouth to taste it. He said in surprise: "Is this a turmeric?"
Gu Yi was inexplicably surprised. These Baimins were the only people he had come into contact with after coming to this world who looked quite civilized. He wouldn’t have even eaten salt, right?
Those walking corpse-like mine clerks could not communicate, so the miners only used tung oil and iron whip to communicate with him. It would be great if the livestock and the Jie people did not fight hard when they met.
The little mute can't speak, Niu Sha is a wandering boy. Although Ge Qiao looks like a little adult, he is just an eight-year-old brat after all. When the old dwarf meets, he will have to give him a discount. The hairy people will not be anything but scream like a gorilla. Although Rou Puman can talk a few words, his vocabulary is poor compared to the ones that some of the hairy people...
So after all, these Baimins who look pure and gentle, and are very in line with Gu Yi's aesthetics. I heard that they were still in the army before they were arrested in the [Qingshi Mine] Mine Lijian. At least they were more knowledgeable, right?
He also hoped to learn some information about the world from them, but he didn't expect that he didn't even know salt. What should I do?
"I didn't expect that in this fierce place, I could see the legendary 'ice and snow crystal' that only nobles deserve to enjoy. I thanked Taibogu for his generosity and gave such treasures to us vulgar people!"
The leader of Baimin, who claimed to be "scaling", put down the food in his hand, carefully cleaned the oil on his lips with his sleeves, wiped his hands clean on the corners of his clothes, stood up and hugged his hands in a regular manner, raised his head high, bowed ninety degrees and bowed to Gu Yi.
Gu Yi, who was caught off guard, stood up in a hurry by the other party's grand etiquette. He didn't know what kind of tribute he should give, so he had to imitate Piano with a weird face and responded awkwardly.
Seeing Gu Yi return the gift, Xiang Yi grinned, his waist was sunk again, and he stood up and said thank you. He took the copper dish in front of Gu Yi and squeezed a small pinch of salt foam in his left palm for each of his companions. The white people who had the salt foam bowed to thank you. Then they sat down happily and cherished the fish and ate it little by little with the salt foam.
Seeing that the Pinzi respectfully sent back the copper dishes with a lot of salt foam and placed them on the stone in front of him, Gu Yi realized that he might have ignored something. He did not take these salt foam seriously, but judging from the attitudes of Roufu, Mao people and Baimin, salt is probably a very precious and rare item for them, the indigenous people.
While Gu Yi was thinking, the people of Jie were already swept the wind and stuffed all the things that could fill their stomachs into their stomach sacs, and began to fall involuntarily by the campfire and fell asleep tiredly, even the white people were no exception.
These people of Kezhai have experienced a series of fierce battles since yesterday, exhausted their physical strength and suffered heavy injuries. As soon as they fill their stomachs, they fall into food, making Gu Yi who wants to talk to them very depressed.
"sleep!"
Gu Yi turned around and entered the wooden shed, turned over and lay on the creaking bunk bed, breathed comfortably, and soon fell asleep. It was such a busy day.
Three little girls looked at each other, look at me, look at you, Ge Qiao also yawned, hugged the back of his head and walked back to his small house in the iron courtyard. Niu Sha was even more decisive, and did not bother the hairy man next to him, and arched it to the side with his butt, lay on the ground with his back, and fell asleep.
Only the little mute was left looking around, guarding the bonfire and didn't know what to do. Suddenly, a furry man next to him muttered something and turned over. His big furry claws almost hit him. The little mute jumped up in a flash and screamed softly, with a gentle and tender voice that was very beautiful.
