Chapter 6 Zhou Xu’s plan

In order for his 'fresh water extraction device' to function properly, they had to constantly add wood and water to the pot.

In this primitive era where nothing is available, even drinking water is not easy.

While waiting for the fresh water to accumulate, the skewered insect skewers can also be grilled.

Since none of the tribe members had ever done this kind of thing before, the arduous task of 'barbecuing skewers' naturally fell on Zhou Xu's head.

Before traveling through time, Zhou Xu loved barbecue and was considered a semi-barbecue expert.

The control of the heat is one of the best among their Lu Chuan team, and their skills here are even better.

The insect itself is rich in oil, and under Zhou Xu's grilling techniques, the oil slowly began to emerge.

At the same time, the surrounding tribe members sniffed unconsciously. For some reason, their dry mouths and tongues secreted some saliva inexplicably, moistening their mouths.

【It should be almost done.】

As this thought flashed through his mind, Zhou Xu picked up some salt crystal particles picked up from the salt belt near the lake and sprinkled some on them.

The ready-made seasonings are right there, so why wouldn't he use them?

After sprinkling salt on it and roasting it twice to let the salt melt, Zhou Xu brought the insect skewer to his mouth and bit into one of the roasted insects.

What kind of ideological work are you doing?! He is almost fainting from hunger!

Not to mention that he has also eaten similar kebabs.

After one bite, Zhou Xu clearly felt that the crispy shell was broken through, and the full protein exploded in his mouth.

The taste was basically exactly what he expected, which made him feel at ease.

Then, while chewing the insects in his mouth, he handed the skewer to the flying bird next to him.

"One for each person, divide it between them, don't rush to swallow it, chew it thoroughly in your mouth before swallowing."

Chewing more mouthfuls will always make you feel fuller.

Time was limited, and the insects they caught were also limited. In this situation, he could only divide them one by one first.

When dividing things, one has always worried not about scarcity but inequality, especially when this thing is related to their lives. Zhou Xu doesn't want to cause civil strife due to food distribution issues.

Before this, tribe members had always caught bugs and stuffed them into their mouths. Let alone roasting them, they didn't even pick their heads to remove their internal organs.

Before that, Fei Que had no concept of 'delicious' or 'delicious' at all, until the moment he stuffed the roasted insect into his mouth and bit open the crispy shell...

He was shocked!

For him, food was just for survival. He never thought that these insects could be so delicious!

He didn't know why, but at this moment, he felt the urge to cry.

After sniffing, not forgetting the task assigned by Zhou Xu, Fei Que began to distribute the roasted insects to everyone one by one.

The reactions that followed were basically the same as Fei Que's.

At this moment, a new thing appeared in the endless loop that entangled the tribe members, that is, they hoped that they could eat such food every day! Desire began to be born!

At the same time, at this moment, for them, the era of caring for hair and drinking blood was completely over...

During this period, Zhou Xu could clearly feel that everyone respected him more and more.

If we say that the reason why tribe members listened to Dashan more in the past was because of the prestige Dashan had accumulated in the tribe.

So at this moment, Zhou Xu's rising prestige in this tribe has completely crushed the mountain in an instant.

He climbed the mountain easily, and even in the eyes of the tribe members, it was impossible for anyone to do it. It was simply a dimensionality reduction attack.

[Now I know why the previous emperors were so fond of those treacherous ministers who flattered them. It feels really good.]

Even though he knew that this was not good, Zhou Xu could not help but feel a little arrogant in the sight of those people who seemed to be paying homage to gods.

Then I was brought back to reality by a wail from my stomach...

【Not full at all.】

He is a serious adult. Putting aside the question of whether it is greasy or not, in terms of appetite, he can eat a plate of fried silkworm chrysalises by himself, and by the way, he can also make a big bowl of rice.

Now this roasted bug is not even enough for him to stuff between his teeth.

Zhou Xu, who wanted to get something else to fill his stomach, cast his gaze on the fruit shell bowl that held the water.

The overall efficiency seemed to be faster than he expected. In just a short time, he had already picked up more than half a bowl of water.

Zhou Xu, who was already extremely thirsty, was not polite. After signaling Fei Que on the side, he took another nutshell bowl and took it, then he directly picked up half of the bowl of water and took a small sip.

He didn't know if it was because he hadn't drank water for a long time, but this ordinary sip of distilled water actually made him feel more delicious than any other nectar!

Resisting the urge to finish it in one gulp, Zhou Xu handed the remaining fresh water in the bowl to Fei Que as usual.

"Each person has a small bite, go and share it."

"yes."

Compared to the immediate impact that the roasted insects gave them before, the tribe members were much calmer about this distilled water.

What's more in my heart is actually a sense of surprise, especially for those who have drank lake water before.

If it weren't for the various methods Zhou Xu had shown before and were already regarded as gods by them, these people would definitely not dare to put this water into their mouths so easily again.

After drinking it, they will only think it is a miracle!

However, just such a half bowl of water is definitely not enough for everyone to settle. Those waiting behind will inevitably be anxious. When Zhou Xu saw this, he said directly...

"Don't worry, there is still water here for everyone."

After saying that, he turned around and asked Fei Que.

"Where's the bark that was torn off earlier?"

"it's here."

"Okay, everyone who has drank water gather here."

People like Zhou Xu who love to play business strategy games mostly do things in a planned way, and the better they play, the stronger their ability will be.

The same is true for Zhou Xu. He is a very planned person. From discovering the black forest, to setting up a camp, to making a fire and getting water, he already has a very detailed plan in his mind.

What he has to do now is to implement his plan step by step.

"Dashan, while it's still dark, take a few people with you and pick up more branches."

After giving this order, Zhou Xu turned his attention to the other tribe members who had gathered around him.

"Now everyone is like me, take a piece of bark of suitable length from here, and then cross the bark together like this, step by step, don't rush."

Currently, in this dark forest area, they have found only two things that can serve as food, and that is insects and mice.

As for how fast those rats scurry, Zhou Xu had seen it before, and it was unrealistic to catch those rats with bare hands.

The best way is to make a trap! Wait for those mice to fall into the trap!

Here, Zhou Xu really has to thank his grandma. She used to have nothing to do in her spare time, so she just did some handicrafts at home to earn some pocket money for fun.

So every time he went back to the countryside during the winter and summer vacations, he would do something casually, which allowed him to master a craft.

Now it really comes in handy!
