Chapter 77 077. Orc Aliang 09
Yun Tutu ignored the emotions of the people around him and looked at this natural cave curiously. The stalactites hanging upside down on the mountain wall looked like thousands of trees and flowers, untainted by the world, in various shapes and forms.
Yun Tutu felt that if this was combined with lighting effects, it would definitely be possible to create tens of millions of shapes, which would be much better than the tourist attractions in later generations.
Standing by the water, it was not as cold as imagined, but instead felt a slight warmth. This was probably the reason why Aliang and his tribe chose this place.
As water drops from the stalactites on the wall, they gather into a small pool below. This is where the entire tribe gets its water.
Yuntutu pointed the flashlight at the small pond and found that the water was crystal clear and it seemed to be well maintained.
When the pool is full, there are several sunken pools inside. Going down layer by layer, there seems to be a bottomless abyss inside.
"There is a river further down there," Aliang introduced her. "It gets narrower and narrower as you go in, and the water disappears from there."
Aliang couldn't explain it clearly, but Yuntutu knew that this must be the path to an underground river. They didn't have professional equipment, so they certainly didn't dare to go in easily.
Yun Tutu was not curious about the underground river. The world is full of wonders. If one really had so much curiosity, there would be no point in living.
Walking along the mountain wall, we found several orcs washing in the third reservoir. Then we understood the key point here.
The first water hole should be used for drinking water, and the rest should be distributed according to daily needs.
"Let's wash all of these," Aliang held up the pot in his hand. Yun Tutu had just formed a new fire circle and fiddled with the thing in his hand. Although it was different from the way they cooked with stone slabs, the general idea was not different.
Yuntutu put the flashlight directly into Aliang's hands and said, "Hold it for me while I clean it."
Yun Tutu took the pot in his hand and, following the example of the female orcs, began to wash it with the water from the third layer. After it was thoroughly clean, he went to the second layer to wash it again.
Pour an appropriate amount of the rice you brought into the pot, use the water flowing down from the first layer to wash the rice clean, fill half the pot with water, and then go back.
Aliang was holding the flashlight, at a loss. He wanted to help, but his hands were too busy.
Yun Tutu staggered back to his own territory carrying a half-filled pot of water. The fire on the temporary stove he had just built was already burning brightly.
Yuntutu put the pot on, found a lid and covered the pot. This should be the procedure for cooking rice. He just waited quietly to eat the delicious rice.
Yuntutu suddenly remembered that there was still a dish missing. The meat tasted good, but the seasoning was a little off. He took out a small bag of refined salt from the storage ring and asked, "Can you exchange it for some more of the meat?"
Aliang waved his hand quickly, "No need for these, I'll get them for you."
It's just a little bit of meat, how can it be exchanged for such precious salt?
Yun Tutu didn't force it. At worst, he could give them some of the meat after it was roasted.
She couldn't guarantee the quality of other dishes, but as for the barbecue, there was no problem.
After searching for a while, she actually found some seasonings. Although there was no cumin, she still found chili powder.
This is some powder that was deposited at the bottom of the bag from the pepper seeds I prepared earlier. It’s enough for me to eat if I put it together.
If Songsong had informed her in advance, she would have prepared everything. Even if these storage rings could not keep food for a long time, she would not starve to death if she prepared ten or twenty boxes of instant noodles.
Aliang returned the flashlight he had been holding to Yuntutu. Although he wanted it very much, he knew it was not his place to take. He turned around and hurried to the leader, Asang. Since the disaster, all food had been distributed uniformly. If he wanted to take the meat, he had to get the leader's approval.
Knowing that Yuntutu was going to use it, Asan generously cut a large piece of the most tender meat for Aliang, "I will arrange for others to go out for inspection these few days, you will stay with the messenger of God, and follow her in everything."
Although Yun Tutu always says that she is not a messenger of God, how can anyone come up with these things? It should be that the messenger of God is relatively low-key, and they also have to cooperate with her.
"Chief, do you want to notify the other tribes?" Aliang suggested, thinking that several nearby tribes were still freezing and starving.
Asan, "The temperature outside has dropped again. Let's send a few soldiers to inform them early tomorrow morning.
What do you think the envoy needs?"
Aliang, "I'll ask Yuntutu later."
"Although the envoy of God told us to call her that, we cannot treat her as an ordinary tribesman. Remember to inform her so that everyone can be respectful when they meet her."
Aliang, "...Everyone is a little curious, do you want to tell the people in the tribe first?"
It was too cold before, and everyone was busy raising their body temperature. Now that the cave has become warmer, it probably won’t be long before these tribesmen will start moving around.
They must be very curious about Yun Tutu's arrival, and are afraid that he will gather around them after he has eaten and drunk his fill.
"I'll ask Amo and the others to tell them later," Asang also knew that there were a few people in the tribe who were more reckless, so he didn't want to disturb the distinguished guests.
Aliang took the meat and left, but he turned to the back of the cave first, washed the meat, then wrapped it in leaves and gave it to Yuntutu.
Yuntutu looked at the water droplets on the leaves and smiled at Aliang to thank him, "You are really thoughtful. You really helped me a lot. Thank you!"
Aliang touched his head shyly, "Yuntutu, do you want to grill meat? Although my cooking skills are not very good, they are not bad either."
Yuntutu took out a berry and asked Aliang to help open it. Yuntutu cut the meat into several pieces, squeezed all the juice on the meat, and added some salt to marinate it.
Aliang was puzzled. Why should the juice be applied to the meat first?
But Yun Tutu must have her own way of doing things, so he just watched quietly and kept it all in mind.
The pot had already started to boil, and Yun Tutu sprinkled in some firewood, leaving a small fire to simmer slowly.
Aliang was also very curious about what was cooking on the fire. The black thing that Yuntutu took out seemed to be much more convenient than their stone pot. It didn't take long for the food in the pot to boil, and there was a faint fragrance in the air.
And those small white and hard particles before, are they also edible?
Yun Tutu thought that there were no pots and pans, and he couldn't just grab them with his hands like these orcs, so he took out a kitchen knife, found two pieces of wood, and started to cut.
Aliang wanted to help but was rejected by Yuntutu. He had never seen chopsticks before, so he decided to do it himself.
It was obviously the simplest and most familiar chopsticks, but Yun Tutu was busy for a long time, but ended up making two crooked wooden sticks of different sizes.
Sure enough, she has no talent for these things, although she can do them with her eyes but not with her hands. However, it is not impossible to make do with them.
Quite satisfied, he put the result aside and stared at the pot.
