The cow horned girl followed behind, carrying a large piece of Pure Blood Ferocious Beast fresh meat. She was responsible for helping with the roasting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shaman.” The three bowed in greeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please sit,” Su Bai waved his hand and walked to sit by the fire pit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” Yan Jiao and Cang Shi sat down cross-legged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Hua, holding the fresh meat, said to the fox eared girl, “Process the bear meat. They’ll eat this tonight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You haven’t eaten yet?” Su Bai looked towards Yan Jiao and Cang Shi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, we wanted to come here to eat while we talk,” Yan Jiao quickly nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tonight, we’ll try a different way of eating,” Su Bai said, looking at the huge piece of fresh meat. The pungent smell was overwhelming. [It would be too gamey to roast and eat as is…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What different way of eating?” Yan Jiao asked, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without explaining, Su Bai turned and instructed, “Ah’Hua, go to Shan Qiu’s place and bring back a flat stone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright,” Yan Hua handed the fresh meat to the fox eared girl and left the Teepee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Yu, slice the meat as thinly as possible,” Su Bai continued to instruct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay,” Yu Ying took the fresh meat to process it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are there any sour berries in the Tribe?” Su Bai asked the two idle men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, I’ll go get some,” Cang Shi stood up and rushed out of the Teepee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chieftain, can you carve a few wooden sticks about this long and as thick as a pinky?” Su Bai gestured to a length of about twenty centimetres.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course” Yan Jiao stood up and rushed out of the Teepee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wonder if stone-grilled meat will taste good?” Su Bai sighed, taking a few stones and placing them around the fire pit to make a stove.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the three who had left returned one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cow horned girl brought back a flat stone slab the size of a washbasin. After washing it clean, she placed it on the stove, and the water quickly evaporated from the heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shaman, these are Green Sour Berries,” Cang Shi held seven or eight green berries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just set them aside for now,” Su Bai waved his hand, picking up two of the carved wooden sticks to use as chopsticks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He skillfully used the chopsticks, picking up the fatty meat sliced by the fox eared girl and placing it on the stone slab, quickly spreading it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle…* The fatty meat on the hot stone slab made a pleasant grilling sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bring out some salt. We’ll exchange for more salt at the Spotted Deer Tribe tomorrow, so don’t save the old salt,” Su Bai said with a light smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll go get it,” Yan Hua stood up and ran out of the Teepee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the first time I’ve seen this method of grilling meat,” Yan Jiao said, looking at the meat slices on the stone slab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, but the meat slices are too small,” Cang Shi nodded, then looked disapprovingly at the thin meat slices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Yu, cut a large piece for him,” Su Bai rolled his eyes, using the chopsticks to flip the meat slices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay,” Yu Ying responded with a suppressed laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh…” Cang Shi smiled awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shaman, can’t we eat yet?” Yan Jiao swallowed his saliva.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t rush. Delicious food needs time,” Su Bai wanted to grill the meat longer to reduce the gamey taste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Swoosh!* Yan Hua lifted the door flap and entered, handing over a wooden tube, saying, “Shaman, here’s the salt.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“En” Su Bai took the salt, removed the wooden plug, and poured a little salt in the corner of the stone slab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just poured out a bit of salt when he froze, staring at the grey salt. He hesitantly asked, “Is salt always this colour?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, salt is always grey,” Yan Jiao looked at the salt on the stone slab with a pained expression. The thumb-sized amount of salt was several days’ worth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thought crossed Su Bai’s mind, [Could the salt in this world be different from Earth’s?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dipped his finger in the salt and tasted it. His expression immediately turned bitter. The grey salt was salty, bitter, and strange tasting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This salt probably hasn’t even been filtered,” Su Bai guessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Filtered?” Yan Jiao and the others looked confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll tell you later,” Su Bai shook his head. With the Tribe’s current salt amount, there would be hardly anything left after filtering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said to the fox eared girl, “Xiao Yu, cut open the Green Sour Berries.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay,” Yu Ying took the Green Sour Berries and went to cut them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She always remembered not to reveal the Fruit Knife, so she did it with her back facing Yan Jiao and Cang Shi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re cut,” Yu Ying brought over the cut Green Sour Berries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll try it first to see how it tastes,” Su Bai picked up a piece of grilled meat. He first dipped it in a bit of salt, squeezed some Green Sour Berry juice on it, then put it in his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chewed it, his eyes brightening slightly. He exclaimed in surprise, “It tastes quite good. There’s a hint of meat flavour with the sourness, and a bit of saltiness to balance it. The only downside is the slight bitterness from the salt.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it really that good?” Yan Jiao asked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Try it yourselves,” Su Bai picked up another piece of grilled meat to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright,” everyone started to help themselves, actually using their hands to pick up the meat or using a single wooden stick to skewer it. Using chopsticks would be a bit difficult for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s so much better than the roasted meat we used to eat,” Yan Jiao said in amazement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s sour. I didn’t know we could use Green Sour Berries to grill meat,” Cang Shi squeezed the Green Sour Berry onto his large piece of grilled meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His only dissatisfaction was that the meat pieces were too small, making it unsatisfying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The texture is so refreshing,” Yan Hua’s red eyes brightened, fixated on the grilled meat on the stone slab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Bai watched as everyone was scrambling for the meat, and noticed the fox eared girl sitting obediently to the side without reaching for any.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He softly asked, “Xiao Yu, why don’t you help yourself?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I… I can’t eat it,” Yu Ying said, pursing her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why can’t you eat it?” Su Bai curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shaman, this is Pure Blood Ferocious Beast Meat. Yu Ying will get a nosebleed if she eats it,” Yan Hua said in a clear voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was also only tasting a little, not daring to eat too much Pure Blood Ferocious Beast Meat, afraid of getting a nosebleed in the middle of the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine, just eat a piece,” Su Bai smiled lightly, picking up a piece of grilled meat, seasoning it, and bringing it to the fox eared girl’s mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Aaah* Yu Ying’s face reddened slightly. Smelling the grilled meat, she finally could not resist. She opened her mouth, revealing her small right fang, and took the grilled meat in one bite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She chewed it, her face showing an expression of delight. The taste of the grilled meat was truly delicious, incomparable to the roasted meat they used to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Hua’s red eyes stared blankly at the interaction between Su Bai and Yu Ying. She felt an inexplicable tightness in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She picked up half a Green Sour Berry and stuffed it directly into her mouth. Her pretty face immediately scrunched up since it was so sour!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[noscript][\u002Fnoscript]\u003C\u002Fp>",1326,"2026-06-05T22:26:45.455Z",1,"novelbin.me","1e7455249cb90fd6935b372d06bd7929a99e6b2ec7eca161a028a25a3ea6983e","i-became-the-chief-of-a-primitive-village-chapter-69","i-became-the-chief-of-a-primitive-village-chapter-131",983,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-became-the-chief-of-a-primitive-village-cover.jpg"]
