Because there is no way to make wooden boards, Xu Chen plans to simply replace them with thicker wooden sticks.

It is approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the weather is still relatively hot during the day, and the plants are still growing vigorously in the mountains and forests, but the situation with him when he first came through time still changed a lot.

When Tian Qi was digging, the woods were wet, hot and lush, and there were all kinds of insects and snakes everywhere. There were a lot of wild flowers on the vines and thorns, bees and butterflies in groups, and all kinds of wild fruits that could be eaten but not eaten were also seen everywhere.

But now many trees have already appeared in color with golden and red colors. When the wind blows, fallen leaves will fly and fall. There are few flowers and wild fruits in the woods. There are even fewer insects and snakes, and there are no butterflies and bees. On the contrary, they are more of various wild birds and small beasts, running and jumping in the thorny jungle, looking for various plant seeds and nuts that fall on the ground.

After the leaves fall, the forest appears much more sparse and wider than before.

The sight is much better, too.

Xu Chen led his men to search in the woods near the foot of the mountain. When he encountered a suitable wood, he cut it down. After he had enough, he carried it down the mountain. In a blink of an eye, the sun began to set westward. Xu Chen's calculations were almost done. When he was about to finish work and return to the mountain, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he threw the stick on his shoulder and ran to the front of a dead tree not far ahead.

The tree is one head taller than a human, at least two meters tall, and has been dead for many years. It has decayed several times in the woods, and the trunks are covered with dense mushrooms.

These mushrooms are gray-brown and round, with thick umbrella handles and thick umbrella covers, and are very attractive in flesh. There is also a fish-scale-like dry and cracked pattern on the surface, exuding a unique fragrance.

Damn, these are wild mushrooms!

And it is the most difficult one to encounter.

Xu Chen's face was full of surprise.

The geological exploration life not only allowed Xu Chen to learn many primitive survival skills, but also learned a large number of wild plants.

Mushrooms are the most common things in the wild in Yunnan and Guizhou, especially in summer and autumn. They are not only numerous but also in various types, with many colors and shapes. They can eat more and cannot eat more.

Shiitake mushrooms are one of them that can be eaten, and they have high nutritional value.

Because the nutritional value of mushrooms is high, large-scale planting is artificially started.

However, because of the harsh growth conditions of wild mushrooms, they need such dead trunks and the appropriate temperature and climate environment, so it is not easy to encounter them, but they need good luck.

Today, Xu Chen felt that he was full of luck.

The last time the kiln was built, it was still summer. After a heavy rain, all kinds of wild mushrooms were everywhere in the woods. He picked up many familiar ones that he wanted to have a meal, but was stopped by Gu Heju.

Therefore, the desire of chickens to stew mushrooms completely collapsed.

But today's saliva seems to be unable to escape.

If the air temperature is right today, the big tree is full of dense flower mushrooms, and the number cannot be counted clearly. I am afraid that there will be hundreds of kilograms of them all. I will take them back and dry them and store them. It is a perfect match for stewing meat in the cold winter.

Seeing Xu Chen standing in front of the dead tree and drooling against the mushrooms all over the trees, Gu Heju and two men who were walking with him quickly stepped forward to stop him.

"Poisonous!"

An anxious reminder of Gu Lian Bi and Stroke.

The tribe members have an ancient tradition, that is, they cannot eat any mushrooms.

Because mushrooms have no seeds, they are produced by rotten poisons, and they will be poisoned to death after eating them.

However, Xu Chen was very determined this time. He confirmed that the mushrooms in front of him were shiitake mushrooms, and they were the best wild shiitake mushrooms. Although they grew larger due to climate reasons, he was sure that he had read the scent correctly.

Moreover, as time traveled over and over, he came into contact with more and more animals and plants, and he wanted to believe that this place was still on earth.

Because the various environments are very similar, even animals and plants that are not recognized are not separated from the biological characteristics of the earth. They are just not recognized by most species, but they still look familiar.

The mushrooms in front of him were almost exactly the same as the wild mushrooms he encountered during his survey in the Yunnan-Guizhou area.

Therefore, this time Xu Chen ignored Gu Heju's obstacles and started to pull mushrooms down the tree with excitement. At the same time, he asked the two of them to carry the wood back and carry the basket.

Gu Heju had no choice but to act as he told him.

"Pick it all for me!"

After Gu Heju left, Xu Chen asked the remaining two adult men to help, and soon the three of them got a lot of them.

"Dog!"

One man reminded him again nervously, and the other nodded quickly.

Xu Chen wiped sweat from his forehead, smiled and shook his head without explaining.

Because the explanation is unclear and the language is too simple, the primitive people don’t know how to eat mushrooms. In addition, some life experiences inherited by the tribe, these primitive people will not touch mushrooms even if they starve to death, which leads to the complete insulation of food and delicious mushrooms.

Of course, even if he confirmed that this was indeed a mushroom, he would have to go through some trouble when he got it back.

However, this time he decided that no matter how many people blocked him, he would definitely eat this mushroom.

He wanted to use his actual actions to make these dogs lick their faces and shout that it was so fragrant.

This place is not too far from the kiln factory. Gu Heju came back in half an hour, then put two baskets in full and went down the mountain. After running back and forth twice, he finally picked all the mushrooms on the dead tree.

When they returned to the kiln factory, several kiln workers and a group of men were discussing around a large pile of mushrooms. When they saw Xu Chen coming back, they gathered together and reminded him with anxiety.

However, Xu Chen was too lazy to care at all. After a while, he ordered everyone to put all the picked mushrooms and carry them up the mountain.

The setting sun sets westward, and in front of the cave, a group of women have already begun preparing dinner.

The hunting team has returned and the harvest is good today. A deer, two wild ducks, and a hare, both in number and breed, are enough to have a full meal.

Although collecting plant seeds and root fruits is the main food source for the tribe, recently, as the hunting team's bow and arrow skills become more pure, the meat is gradually becoming more abundant, and high-quality meat can be guaranteed to be supplied almost every day.

This has led to the change in complexion of the entire ethnic group after obtaining enough food and nutrition. The previous malnutrition, dark and thin condition has recently improved significantly.

At least it can be felt from Ye and a group of weak women and children. Not only did their faces look a little rosy, but their cheeks also became fuller, and there were a lot more smiles on everyone's faces.

Some women were washing oatmeal, wild beans, cooking rice, some were cleaning onions, ginger, and wild vegetables, and some were slaughtering prey on stones. A group of children were running and playing games inside and outside the cave. Moba and several women were cleaning up the hemp. The entire cave was full of lively and joy.

However, when he watched Xu Chen and others come back with their horses in the lively atmosphere, he found that the basket he put down was full of mushrooms, and the joyful atmosphere suddenly calmed down.

"Dog~"

Huanhuan greeted Ye, who was helping to lead the horse, covered his mouth with nervous expression and exclaimed.

"Out of the gaga!"

A woman nervously pointed at the mountainside and asked a group of men to carry it and pour it out.

After hearing this, Mo Ba hurriedly threw the ma in her hand and hurriedly ran over. She was also extremely nervous when she saw it, pointing at a group of men and scolding them with anger on her face.

A group of men dared not refute, so they could only look at Xu Chen with shameless eyes.

Xu Chen quickly stepped forward and stopped Mom Ba and explained it with Bibi. Because the communication barrier was too big, this explanation would mean at most that he was just trying it. If he couldn't eat it, he would throw it away. So Mom Ba reluctantly agreed with him, but he still asked someone to gather several baskets of mushrooms together to make people optimistic, and the children would never get it.

After the crowd dispersed, Xu Chen hurried to the place where he was slaughtering his prey. When he saw two pheasants, he immediately smiled.

I was really lucky today, and I actually hit two more pheasants.

It seems that this chicken stewed mushrooms is a blessing.

He asked him to peel and wash the two pheasants, chop them into small pieces and put them in a clay pot, add water, throw in a few pieces of ginger and a few seven thorns on the stove, and then choose a large bowl of fresh and tender mushrooms by hand to wash them by the pool and set aside for later use.

At dusk, in the midst of busy work, a rich aroma of cooking food slowly spreads in front of the cave.

Since the stew of meat in the clay pot and pot, barbecue has almost become a thing of the past.

Nowadays, almost no one likes to eat barbecue meat.

First, the roasting method is inappropriate. The meat copied is dry, tickle and often burnt, otherwise there will be blood inside. Half-baked meat is not fresh and tender, and it is difficult to swallow.

Stewed meat is different. The boneless meat is smashed into minced meat with stones. After cooking, it is hot and delicious. It is perfect for eating with mixed grain porridge.

The remaining large pieces of meat and bones are placed in the pottery pot and simmered overnight. The flesh and meat are fragrant. Add some wild vegetables and eat a bowl of hot food in the morning. It is simply a beautiful life.

These primitive people have very poor teeth, almost as long as they are adults, they have missing or damaged teeth.

Malnutrition is a lack of calcium. In addition, eating raw and cold foods for a long time is also an important aspect.

Women generally have longer lifespans than men, and are willing to face less dangers, and secondly, they eat less raw and cold meat and better care for their teeth.

The emergence of stews reduces the feeding pressure of teeth by half, and the stewed food is more conducive to the digestion of the stomach and intestines.

Various factors are superimposed, and the improvement of diet has made the bodies of a group of primitive people become healthier and their complexion has improved greatly.

However, the stew is delicious, and it will be more terrifying if you add something toxic.

When it is almost time for dinner, before Moba summons, many people can't wait to wait for the fire pit to drool.

But today, under the temptation of the strong aroma of food, no one went to grab a seat in advance.
