Chapter 30 Seasonings

  The roasted meat was done, and it was the adult horse-headed man who divided it. He held a small knife and cut the meat into many portions, then distributed them one by one. For some reason, Little Meteor and Little Spring didn't get any bowls, so they were given two large legs to eat directly with their hands. Everyone smiled at themselves as they looked on. Little Spring didn't feel anything unusual, but when she received her leg of meat, she happily said "thank you" to the horse-headed man in Chinese.

  The little meteor was moved again, and before that in the village, the villagers also gave themselves good things. The villagers knew themselves and were kind to them, which is easy to say, but here people saw themselves for the first time, and they were not even of the same kind, their character is very affirmable. The horse-headed uncle who divided the leg meat for Little Meteor and Little Spring didn't know that it was because of his two pieces of leg meat that he would change the trajectory of his life in the future.

  Holding the leg meat in his hand, he looked at the little horse-headed man and the little cow-headed man who were staring at him with watering mouths. Xiaoliu directly handed the leg to the nearest little horse-headed man Wuri's face, then pointed to the meat in his stone bowl, indicating that he wanted to exchange it with him.

  Wuri looked at the leg meat in front of him, although he really wanted to eat it, but he didn't take it. In his eyes, Xiaoliuxing was a guest he had brought back himself, and eating the best meat was a matter of course. Moreover, he had eaten it before, but Xiaoliuxing and Xiao Chuntian were eating it for the first time, so they couldn't be rushed. So, after swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Wuri's eyes firmly pushed Xiaoliuxing's hand back to his face, then picked up his own meat and started eating, smiling at Xiaoliuxing and Xiaochuntian while eating.

  The little horse head didn't want to, and the little meteor turned around to trade with the little cow head. Just as he turned around, he found that he had also started eating. Seeing the little meteor looking at him, he also smiled at the little meteor. It was clear that he wouldn't trade with himself either. The little meteor didn't pretend anymore and directly took a chicken leg to eat.

  The action of Little Meteor just now was naturally seen by everyone sitting around, and their good impression of Little Meteor increased a lot. They all smiled slightly at Little Meteor, which is also an affirmation of his quality. Of course, it's not just him, the quality of Little Horse Head and Little Cow Head is also worthy of affirmation. His father, who was sitting next to Uri, touched his horse head and gave him an affirmative look. The strongest cow head person sitting next to Sowa also made the same action towards Sori.

  He took a bite of the golden-brown roasted leg meat, which was fragrant and tender with a nice chewiness. The person who roasted the meat had high standards, neither overcooking nor undercooking it, but cooking it just right, making it truly delicious. However, after taking one bite, he didn't take another, instead standing up with the meat in hand and walking towards the grassy area at the edge of the village.

  The strange movements of the little meteor naturally attracted everyone's attention, and they ate while watching with curious eyes what this child was going to do. Only Xia Chun Tian stopped eating and looked at her brother with expectant eyes. This wasn't the first time something like this had happened, she knew what would happen next.

  The little meteorite that had walked onto the grass crouched down under the curious gaze of others, and then began to carefully examine and identify various types of grass. Sometimes it would even pick a leaf and put it in its mouth to savor it carefully, spitting some out before moving on to another spot. Some leaves it would pick multiple times after tasting them, holding them in its hand before moving on to another spot.

  After more than 20 minutes, after putting three different herbs in his hand, Xiaoliu Xing stopped searching and walked back to where he started sitting. He completely ignored the puzzled gazes of others, handed the meat in his hand to Xiaochun Tian, took an empty bowl that Wuri had finished eating from beside him, and put the three kinds of herbs he picked into the bowl, each taking some mixed together. Then, he took a clean wooden stick and crushed the herbs in the bowl, squeezing out the juice.

  Put down the wooden stick, and evenly apply the completely crushed grass ash to your leg meat. Then take the applied meat and continue to roast it over the fire, but not directly on the flame, about 10 cm away from the heat source. Slowly roast for about seven or eight minutes until the meat starts to smell fragrant. Unlike before, this time it's not just the meat that smells good, but also the grass and some other aromas.

  The fragrance blended together, instantly stunning anyone who smelled it. It was fragrant, truly fragrant! More fragrant than fresh flowers! How amazing, that adding some ordinary herbs to meat could make it so fragrant. Those who witnessed the entire process were stunned. Are human children really this clever? No wonder they can occupy the most fertile land on the entire continent.

  Just as the people who were shocked by the aroma of roasted meat thought that Xiaoliu Xing would take the meat back to eat, Xiaoliu Xing instead poured the remaining broth from the bowl earlier, now clear of sediment, over the meat. The green juice dripped onto the dark golden roasted meat, making a "sizzling" sound, causing everyone's mouths to water uncontrollably.

  That appearance made Xia Chun Tian burst out laughing, of course this was also a proud expression, "Brother's cooking is always delicious." However, Xia Chun Tian's laughter did not bring those drooling people back to their senses, because their attention was completely absorbed by the aroma of the roasted meat. Not a single person noticed her.

  After pouring the grass juice, it was roasted for a few more minutes. After the grass juice had fully penetrated into the meat, Xiaoliu took back the meat and handed it to the horse-headed uncle who was staring blankly at himself, indicating that he should use his knife to divide the meat among everyone to eat. Then, without waiting for him to react, he continued to take the remaining grass and grind it into a bowl again. The meat of Xiaochuntian was still waiting for him to roast!

  The "crunch" sound made by the little meteorite rolling on the grass brought the horse-headed uncle back from his daze. He looked at the meat in his hand, then took a deep look at the small and thin little meteorite, and let out a heavy sigh.

  Perhaps it was a sigh of relief that he had lived for so many years, yet still couldn't even roast meat as well as a child. Perhaps it was a sigh of admiration, acknowledging that humans were indeed the dominant species on this continent, and his own kind just couldn't compare. Or perhaps it was a sigh about something else entirely, but only he knew what was in his heart. With a deep breath, the horse-headed uncle seemed to relax, noticing that everyone around him was staring at the roasted meat in his hands with envy.

  Can't help but chuckle, since Little Stream gave him the meat, he didn't pretend to be polite and directly shared it with everyone to eat, letting them taste the fragrance. Later, he'll teach them how to identify herbs, then they can go roast themselves. Today is a rare happy day, so let's have everyone eat more. In fact, not only did everyone want to eat, but he himself also really wanted to eat and try the meat that smelled so good, wondering what it would taste like in his mouth. He thought about it while swallowing saliva.

  The meat was divided, and each person only had a piece of meat the size of an eraser, worth two cents. After all, there was only one leg, and more than 20 people were sharing it, so having such a large piece was already very good. Mr. Ma felt extremely satisfied with his generosity for the first time, or rather, he shouldn't be too pleased. If he hadn't treated him as a guest and given him a large piece of leg meat at the time, what he had in his hand now would only be half the size. This delicious eraser-sized piece was already a pity, and if it were to be halved again, it would be even more unbearable, just thinking about it made one's heart ache.

  I despise those who grab the meat and swallow it in one bite. Uncle Ma, on the other hand, first puts the meat under his nose and takes two deep sniffs of that rich aroma, savoring it slowly, filling his nostrils and brain with the fragrance before putting it into his mouth, closing his eyes, and chewing slowly. The meat is still tender, not hardened or aged from being roasted twice, very fragrant.

  Apart from the meat's own fragrance, there is a spicy, numbing and sour sensation that makes one reluctant to swallow it in one gulp, wanting to savor it for a few more moments. Moreover, the temperature of the meat is just right, neither scalding nor cold. As you eat, your entire mouth is filled with this warm fragrance, which slowly flows into your throat and chest along with the digestive system, giving you a floating sensation. It's truly a double delight for both body and mind!

  The situation on Xiaoliuxing's side naturally did not escape the eyes of others, especially that fragrance. Even people with poor noses could smell it. It was too fragrant, and no one had ever smelled such a strong fragrance before. People who had just finished eating felt hungry again. Following the direction from which the fragrance came, they saw the enjoyable expressions on everyone's faces in Xiaoliuxing's group except for Xiaoliuxing and Xiaochuntian.

  Also saw that the small shooting star had already roasted the meat, ready to return it to Xia Chun Tian's roast. The fragrance was coming from the meat! Everyone involuntarily left their positions and gathered around Xiao Liu Xing's group.

  He calmly handed the roasted meat to Xiaochun Tian, who had already started drooling, and nodded at the crowd led by Yima Touren, who were staring at him with wide eyes, indicating for them to follow him.

  Then, under their excited gaze, he walked towards the edge of the village again. He still remembered the location of the three kinds of grass that were picked last time, and he only picked a part of them without picking all of them, so this time he went to pick one of each kind and handed it over to Uncle Horse Head, then directly headed back.

  Looking at the three small herbs in his hand, Horsehead Uncle seemed to see countless delicious roasted meats floating in front of him. It was too exciting! He swallowed hard and suppressed the urge to use the herbs to roast meat immediately. After taking a look himself, he handed them over to others to take a look, then started searching on the ground with his head down. By this time, he had already made up his mind that each type of herb must have at least ten, no twenty, and they would all be used for roasting meat!

  They started by just asking the people in their small group, but when others asked, they told them too. As soon as they heard that it was about finding grass with a fragrant roasted meat smell, they didn't hesitate and started searching after looking at the sample. This spread like wildfire, causing over 500 people from the entire tribe, regardless of age or sex, to all bow their heads and search together. The scene was breathtaking! Unfortunately for the poor grass, which had grown for decades and only occasionally had someone walk by or lie on it to sunbathe, this time they were trampled repeatedly, an unprecedented disaster!

  Little Meteor was also shocked by this magnificent scene, and for the first time in his life, he saw so many people bowing their heads to do things. Little Spring was excited too, gnawing on delicious roasted meat while watching these people bowing their heads and turning around, occasionally shouting with those who were excited about finding a kind of grass, leaving Little Meteor speechless.
