Chapter 401: The Old Wizard of the Primitive Era (8)
When the hunting party returned with a handful of six prey and a full load of pickers, everyone smelled a strange burnt smell that they had never smelled before.
"What does it smell like? How fragrant? ”
"I've never smelled it before!"
"Just look at it."
"It seems to be from the witch's side."
As several people discussed, they soon saw the leader and the witch who were pouring milky white liquid on the stone slab by the campfire, and the fragrance they smelled came from there.
Food was an irresistible thing for primitive people, let alone fragrant food, so everyone quickly gathered around the campfire to show the leader what they had learned of the day, and gave it to the leader to distribute.
Then he asked what the things on the slate were, whether they could eat it, and so on.
"You can eat it, this is the new food I found with Wu today, the kind of tree you all know that is easy to cut down, but not easy to use.
Break that tree up and soak it in water, and then remove the residue from the soaking water, and the milky white liquid left is what we're frying right now.
You can taste it
Divide a little for each person and take a bite.
After tasting it, you will bring all the stone slabs in your cave and fry them together. ”
Yan learned a lot of new vocabulary from getting along with Qiao Mu today, and he used it very flexibly at this time.
There are some words, even if you have never heard of them before, but by watching Yan's movements, you can still understand them smoothly and easily.
For example, frying, such as starch liquid.
Although they did not understand, they knew that pouring the liquid on a stone slab and putting it on the fire was called frying.
The milky liquid in that vat is called starch liquid.
After listening to the leader's description, everyone didn't pursue those new words, but happily began to pick up the pile of pancakes that had been fried on the side, even though these pancakes were not wrapped in any sauce, vegetables and meat, and did not put salt and other seasonings, but the novel taste still made everyone eat very happily, but after a while, the pile of pancakes that Qiao Mu and Yan had fried for more than an hour were gone.
There were even a few that didn't grab it.
After eating those pancakes, everyone couldn't wait to put down what they were holding, and went to the cave where they were gathered to fetch large and small stone slabs back, these slate were originally used by them to dry animal skins, they really had never fried things with slate before, I believe that after this time, the way of frying can also be carried forward.
This pancake feast lasted for a long time.
Because the thermal conductivity of the slate is very poor, and the number of slate you have is limited, even if you have been frying it constantly, the fried pancakes are not enough for everyone to eat, and in the end, it is the various fruits picked by the picking team and the six wild beasts caught by the hunting team that everyone can fill their stomachs.
Qiao Mu also took advantage of this opportunity to put down the work in his hand and squeezed out more than an hour to teach the three children who had just received yesterday some very basic basic knowledge.
……
For the next month or so.
The arbor really doesn't stop at all.
It's not about teaching the hunting party how to use fishing nets, how to make simple bows and arrows, how to dig traps, how to lure wild beasts over.
It is to teach the picking team which plants to pick more, and how to deal with some plants.
In addition, all the people who go out also need to bring back some plants that they have not seen, but because they are not specifically picking, the number of them will be much smaller each time, although most of the things they bring back are useless, even poisonous, but the arbor still finds several useful plants from them.
That's the raw chestnut and hazelnut.
Although the size of the original chestnut and hazelnut is a little smaller, and there are more thorns on the outside, they are all starch-rich nuts in the end, and the most important thing is that they are large and easy to store.
After discovering the original chestnuts and hazelnuts, and storing all the chestnuts and hazelnuts he could find in the newly repaired warehouse, Qiao Mu's mood was not so urgent, and he began to have time to slowly ponder the production of primitive linen cloth and the firing of primitive pottery, and in his spare time, Qiao Mu spent a lot of time teaching three new disciples.
Not to mention, these three children are really difficult to teach.
Arbor sometimes thinks that they are used to grind their own character, that really doesn't understand anything, must be taught from scratch as a baby, in the last world, although Arbor also taught babies, but at that time there were a lot of auxiliary equipment to teach babies, there were pictures, there were videos, there were teachers to help, teaching apples can take an apple out to him to see, teach tigers to have tiger pictures to see, in short, it is very convenient to teach.
But here, it's really nothing, sometimes Qiao Mu doesn't know where to start, doesn't know how to teach them.
In many cases, there is a reason why the overall quality of students in remote areas is not as good as that of students in developed areas, and this reason is not only because of the teaching level of teachers, but also because of the limitations of their own environment and family, which greatly restricts the degree of development of their ideas.
Use an inappropriate analogy.
Take computers, for example.
Some people have a high-performance computer at home, and they can learn how they want to learn, and they can play how they want, and some people only have the opportunity to come into contact with that thing every time they go to school, and no matter how high the teacher's teaching level is, they can't make up for this innate gap.
It's not discrimination, it's true.
Qiao Mu is teaching these three children like this, she doesn't have any teaching aids, she doesn't have any physical objects that can be used as objects for them to observe, she can only rely on verbal descriptions, but many things cannot be described verbally.
For example, the mountains, for example, the sea.
No matter how high you talk about the mountains, no matter how vast you say about the vastness of the ocean, no matter how big the whales are in the ocean, it is far from the shock and conviction that they have seen with their own eyes.
So arbor is very difficult to teach.
Those kids sounded struggling, too.
Qiao Mu can only constantly adjust his teaching progress and teaching process through their teaching feedback, so as to gradually adapt himself to them, and teach them various basic knowledge with words and adjectives that they can understand.
After more than a month of running-in.
Qiao Mu finally grasped some skills, and no longer taught them things that were more detached from reality, nor did he teach them the understanding of the macrocosm, but only taught them basic herbal identification and basic Chinese medicine.
Teach them to be witch doctors first.
After that, take your time.
