Chapter 13: Start preparing food for the winter

Since the gate was put up, although it was very heavy and it was troublesome to open and close every day, fortunately, it only needed to be opened twice a day, and rarely needed to be opened at other times. After the publicity from Ruo, many people in the tribe began to install the gate, some of them were crafty and made decorations on it, or went to find other lighter things to replace the heavy wood.

Li Feng was now the real Feng. Although every time he wanted to do some small things, they were really related to life, but they were very useful. Previously, Feng liked to stay in the cave and do some trivial things. People in the tribe rarely saw him, let alone talk to him. The shy Feng was not the one who could actively talk to others.

But now it was different. Now Feng, that is, Li Feng was there. Since he made underpants, learned to eat salt, made baskets and fenced doors, some people in the tribe often come to him to learn. Li Feng himself was also a person who didn't like to talk. Maybe it was because of the professional habit of being a small Journalist for a magazine. Obviously, he didn't like to talk, but when someone talked to him, he could keep talking. In a word, he wouldn't be cold.

Ruo came over every day and liked to play with Bao Bei. He often woke up the sleeping baby, and then ran away, leaving the mess to Li Feng. Bao Bei, who was forced to wake up and didn't want to, kept crying until Li Feng slowly rocked him to sleep.

The crying baby, with red face and tears, made Li Feng very sad. After reprimanding Ruo several times, Ruo finally agreed to stop, but he turned his head and forgot, which made Li Feng helpless. Li didn't know what to say. He could only look at Bao Bei crying with heartache. At most, he stared at Ruo a few times, and then fought with Bu behind him.

After several fights, Bu didn't tell Ruo, but Ruo would ask. After all, the two people were infatuated with each other. Ruo was distressed and restrained a little bit, but he would stare at Li every time he saw him.

Ruo knew that they were just venting, not really fighting desperately, but it still made him uncomfortable. However, after Li Feng's guidance, they became happy in an instant. Was this because he was fighting? Ha ha, so Bu liked him too?

Li Feng pinched out a lot of sweet potato vines that he had dug before. He was going to plant some around the cave to see if they would grow. Although it was a little late now, it was good to grow some small fruits. In winter, there would be a little bit of food.

There was almost nothing to eat during winter here, and there were few prey. There was basically no fruit left for a winter. There were no wild vegetables and other grains to eat. Therefore, almost every winter, people starved to death and froze to death. If there was not enough food to store calories, and it was too cold. Even if there was fire, it was impossible to replace the calories from food.

So, the most urgent thing for Li Feng now was to look forward to going out on the mountain to find out if he could find other food. Now he had to find food for himself, for Bao Bei and the people in the tribe. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for the baby to survive the winter at such a young age.

Li Feng once thought of going out to look by himself on the mountain, but Ruo and Li didn't let him go out. It was hard to see anything. He wanted to sneak out while Li was out hunting, but Ruo came to find him. Since then, Ruo had come to report every day. Ruo needed to go hunting. However, because he was not old, and Li doesn't feel at ease with Feng home alone, he asked Ruo to take care of him. Ruo was basically a member of their family now. He came to eat every day, of course, he brought meat.

There were many wild vegetables now. Li Feng couldn't go out, but the tribe let him turn around when he was free. He picked all the wild vegetables he could eat, and then made them into pickled vegetables.

He also told the tribe this method, so that they could eat it in summer and in winter. Although it was not the main food, the meat they couldn't finish every time was pickled into bacon or preserved with salt, so even in winter, there was no problem.

Several times when hunting animals for meat, Li Feng went to watch and found that although it was a little bloody, the bigger problem was the waste. All the internal organs were thrown away.

The viscera and blood of herbivores could be eaten. Li Feng put them away. When he cleaned them up, he could eat them even though it was a little troublesome. The flavor without seasoning was always a little fishy, Li Feng felt that he had eaten a lot of delicious food in his previous life and was picky in this life. He felt that he could not eat it. Although oil and salt added flavor and he boiled it, he felt that meat dishes without other ingredients could not be eaten.

However, other people didn't think so. They thought it was delicious. It turned out that these things could also be eaten. Now they realized how wasteful they had been.

Li Feng had dealt with a lot of large intestines and was ready to make sausage. However, fat and lean meat were needed for the sausage filling. He thought it was a bit wasteful and finally gave up. He needed to wait until there were more prey one day!

Now what Li Feng was looking forward to most was the day of fruit picking. The women in the tribe also thought that it was more convenient to pack things than to use hide bags since they had bags and baskets. Besides, the hide could not hold much. How could it be used to make bags so wastefully?

After all, the prey in each tribe was just a little bit, and each person had no more than one or two. They were afraid it was not enough to make animal skin clothes, but the baskets were not the same. There were many Hibiscus strips and other soft vines here, which were very convenient to weave, and also more practical.

Now they wished they could carry baskets with them everywhere. They could hold a lot of things! It was more convenient to pick fruit and dig some stones and put them in the basket on their backs than to use hide!

Since there were many stone tools used in the tribe, people in the tribe often looked for suitable stones to make tools in the nearby mountains. However, they dared not stay too far away from the tribe. There were many beasts in the mountains. No men followed them and they were afraid that they wouldn't come back alive after going up the mountain.

Li Feng actually knew the danger, but he was really worried. Now he didn't have anything to do at home every day. He was really worried. He couldn't pick the good things in the mountains. How could he not be worried? Bao Bei didn't have anything to eat yet. He could only eat some juice every day. He didn't dare to drink too much bone soup. He had to find out if he could find any grains or the like. As long as he could drink enough, he wouldn't care...
