Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 47 Nearsighted Red

The young shaman didn't specifically send someone to fetch the stinky flowers needed to make the turtle, because he had plenty of them himself.

Regardless of the plant, whether poisonous or non-poisonous, useful or useless, the young shaman would always keep one or two in reserve, just in case they came in handy.

It's a bit strange to use it for cooking, but it's still being used, isn't it?

Jiang Luoluo, however, was in a dilemma when faced with several large fish.

This fish is two or three times the size of hers, so it's not too difficult to deal with it, since several adult members of the tribe around can help.

But there's no pot that big!

Seeing the cub's predicament, the young shaman waved his hand, and someone brought out an enormous stone pot from somewhere behind the wooden house.

It's two sizes bigger than the stone pot in the Fish Cave.

If Jiang Luoluo had followed the hunting team to their base in the Taz Forest, she would have found that this stone pot was the same as the other large stone pots in the base.

No wonder the mining team doesn't extract much ore each year. Jiang Luoluo scanned the large stone pot and mentally recalled its size before it was made into a stone pot... It's normal that such a large ore is scarce when it's mined manually and transported a long distance back.

However, Jiang Luoluo misunderstood. She thought that a piece of Earth Star Stone could only be used to make one stone pot. In reality, the tribe members dug them out one inside another, like Russian nesting dolls.

A single piece of Earth Star Stone can be used to dig out many stone pots, from large to small. The remaining Earth Star Stone at the very bottom is the material for most of the tribe's stone knives, while the scraps cut off at the very edge can be used to make weapons such as spears.

The smaller pieces of Earth Star Stone were given to the children on Little Stone Mountain to practice on, teaching them how to make stone knives and other weapons.

In short, no waste, not a single bit.

After taking out the large stone pot, it was clear that there was no room in the wooden house, so the large stone pot was carried conspicuously to the campfire in the middle of the mountaintop platform.

Huh? So casually? Jiang Luoluo's eyes widened. She had heard the young man Ge explain to her very seriously before that the campfire was the tribe's fire source and so on.

She thought it was something serious and inviolable, but these adult tribesmen not only put the stone pot on it in a very open manner, but also skillfully placed several pieces of meat next to it and started grilling them.

It seems like they do this kind of thing quite often.

Jiang Luoluo couldn't help but recall her impressions of the tribe, wondering how much of it was true.

Wait a minute, it rained the past two days, so why is the campfire still burning? Jiang Luoluo noticed something amiss, but before she could think about it further, she was called over to deal with the soft-shelled turtle.

Due to Jiang Luoluo's size and age, the task of carrying out the actual work fell to several adult members of the tribe, while He was responsible for translating Jiang Luoluo's commands.

"First scrape off the fish scales... Hey! Akane, don't just start scraping! Look, you've already peeled off the fish skin. Just scrape the scales off against the grain!"

"Then use a stone knife to cut open the turtle's belly... Red! Listen to me before you start! Not there! Cut the side, the side!"

"Then take out all the internal organs... Hmm? Luo, what are you trying to say?"

Jiang Luoluo pointed at the clansman who had swiftly and ruthlessly stabbed him, gesturing with a hint of helplessness.

Don't cut open the internal organs! She used too much force! The internal organs of soft-shelled turtles are very bitter and hard to eat. Once they are cut open, the meat of the soft-shelled turtle will also become bitter and hard to eat!

"Red! Put your fish aside for now. Luo said you used too much force and broke the turtle's internal organs, so it can't be eaten." Brown skillfully translated the cub's meaning.

Although the details differ, the general meaning is similar.

"Why? Isn't this a waste? It's such a big soft-shelled turtle!" The female tribeswoman called Chi looked at the soft-shelled turtle in her hands and didn't think it was any different from what the others were doing.

Jiang Luoluo went over and pointed out the ruptured internal organs to Chi, then let Chi smell the bitter, fishy smell emanating from them. Chi frowned and accepted it, but still muttered, "Then I'll eat it later."

Another tribesman next to him laughed and teased Chi, "What's wrong, Chi? You haven't caught many soft-shelled turtles, so you can't see clearly anymore, and you've lost your sense of touch, right? The chief was right to let you stay, so don't be angry all the time."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Luoluo looked at Chi and realized that Chi, who was moving normally, seemed to have some vision problems. However, her perception was too strong, and her normal movements were not affected at all.

It was because he had little experience with soft-shelled turtles that he made a mistake due to his clumsy movements, revealing a flaw he shouldn't have made.

Jiang Luoluo glanced at Chi a few more times and found that Chi could not see things at all, at most they were just blurry... wasn't that nearsighted?

How come people from tribes with such superhuman physical abilities are nearsighted?

Jiang Luoluo tugged at Chi's hand and gestured.

It's okay, I'll prepare this fish for you separately later, it'll still taste good!

"Uh, what are you doing?" Chi asked, as she could only see a blurry figure swaying in front of her.

Jiang Luoluo froze... Oh no, she's also severely nearsighted.

No, she can't speak, and she's encountered someone who can't see clearly. How are they supposed to communicate?!

"Luo said you don't need to worry, she'll make something for you separately later, it won't be bad, you can just leave it aside and watch it for now." He silently translated, adding his own touch of linguistic artistry.

"Oh." Chi looked at him, a hot-tempered person, but actually quite obedient. He picked up his fish and went to watch the show.

I just don't know what she can see with that level of vision.

Jiang Luoluo continued to direct everyone to hollow out the fish's belly, put in chopped scallion segments, and then throw the selected large pieces of fatty meat into the stone pot to render oil.

Jiang Luoluo really didn't expect to be treated so well by the young shaman. She only expressed that she wanted a piece of meat with some fat, but the young shaman brought her a whole piece of white fat.

Let alone refining oil, Jiang Luoluo could feel her hand covered in oil just by touching it.

I wonder what kind of animal the meat is from, it's so fatty.

Incidentally, Jiang Luoluo also asked the young shaman for a lot of garlic to treat Mao's illness.

This plant doesn't have high requirements for its growing environment and is one of the medicinal materials used for many feverish illnesses. There was a patch of it growing around the young shaman's wooden house, and Jiang Luoluo easily dug up a large bunch.

Peel and chop the fish into small pieces. When the oil in the stone pot is hot, sprinkle a handful of the fish in and sauté until fragrant. Then, have someone put the soft-shelled turtle into the pot and fry it. Finally, add water and cook until done, then add salt.

It's not that she can't do more detailed work, it's just that the soft-shelled turtle is too big, and Jiang Luoluo can't do more detailed work, nor can she give clear instructions.

But that's okay, just the finished product alone was enough to leave everyone present speechless.

An unprecedented fragrance replaced the original fishy smell of the soft-shelled turtle and permeated the area around the fire.

"Gulp," someone swallowed hard.
