MTL - This Is My Primitive Tribe-Chapter 5 Catch crabs

The next morning, the sound of birds and insects woke Jiang Xuan from his sleep.

He opened his drowsy eyes and found that the others were also awake, so he said hello and went to the stream to wash his face.

The water in the stream is very clear and shallow, and some finger-sized fish are swimming in the water.

After a night of sleep, Jiang Xuan was already hungry, and he saw that everything was food.

However, these small fish are very slippery, and it is not easy to catch them unless it takes a long time to make a fish cage.

"Crash..."

Jiang Xuan washed his face with cold stream water, and his whole body suddenly became much more awake.

It suddenly occurred to him that there are not only fish in the creek, but also some easier-to-catch animals.

Like crabs.

This time is autumn, and it is the time when the crab paste is fat and delicious.

Thinking of the deliciousness of crabs, Jiang Xuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately started turning over the stones by the stream.

Chi Shao came over curiously and asked, "Xuan, what are you doing?"

"Look for crabs."

"What is a crab?"

Chishao is a little confused. The people of the deer tribe mainly hunt in the forest, and occasionally eat fish, but they usually only stab the fish with spears by the stream, and never go into the water easily. Naturally, they don’t know crabs.

At this moment, after Jiang Xuan turned over a big rock, a big crab appeared, it panicked and wanted to escape.

Jiang Xuan quickly held down its shell, reached out from behind the crab, grabbed the four legs on its side, and lifted the big crab up.

Catching crabs is skillful.

Its two big pliers are very powerful, but they can only clamp the things in front, the left and right sides and the back, it can't do anything.

"This is it!"

Jiang Xuan was very pleasantly surprised, because this crab was as big as a soup pot and had a lot of weight. If it was in his previous life, such a big crab would be a rarity.

"This is the crab? It looks fierce, can it be eaten?"

Chishao picked up a wooden stick and placed it on the crab's pincers, only to hear a "click", and the stick was snapped off neatly.

"Of course I can eat it. In the tribe, an uncle took me to the water to catch crabs, which can be roasted and eaten."

In order to convince Chishao that crabs can be eaten, Jiang Xuan can only panic.

Chi Shao nodded. She didn't doubt Jiang Xuan's words, nor did she ask who brought him there.

Uncaria, Shiloh, and Nanxing also came. They looked at Jiang Xuan holding such a big crab with one hand, and their faces were full of admiration.

Uncaria said: "Xuan, you are amazing!"

Shi Loh nodded fiercely on the side, this kind of prey called crabs looked very fierce, but Jiang Xuan caught it so easily.

Nan Xing was even more eager to try: "Xuan, can you get it for me?"

"Of course you can, but you have to be careful not to get caught by it!"

Nan Xing glanced at the stick that was broken in two, and immediately nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"When catching a crab, don't put your hand in front of it, catch it from the back or the side, yes, that's it."

Nan Xing lifted the crab according to Jiang Xuan's instructions, and saw the crab's huge pincers waving left and right, but could not hold his hand, Nan Xing laughed happily.

"Bring it to me."

"I also want."

Uncaria and loach took turns to try the feeling of catching the big crab, and it felt very fresh.

Jiang Xuandao: "The crab likes to hide under the rocks in the stream, you can also go and look it up, but it is best to take a wooden stick and press it with a wooden stick when you see the crab, so as not to get caught."

"If we catch a few more, we'll have a full meal, and then we'll have the strength to build a house."

"Okay, let's go too."

Chishao, Uncaria, Loach, and Nanxing each found a stick, and then followed Jiang Xuan's example and went to turn over the big rocks by the stream.

This place is inaccessible, and these crabs have never been caught. Not only are they large, but they are also surprisingly numerous.

It didn't take long for them to catch more than a dozen big crabs.

Jiang Xuan tied the crabs with thin, flexible rattan and connected them into a large string.

Interestingly, as long as two or more crabs get together, they will use tongs to clamp each other's tongs or legs, and they will not loosen easily.

In this way, it is as difficult for them to escape as if they wanted to go to the sky.

Jiang Xuan and others happily brought the big crab back to the bamboo shed.

Chi Shao pointed at the big crab and asked, "Xuan, how do you eat crabs?"

The three of Uncaria also looked at Jiang Xuan, the crab was covered in hard shells, giving people a feeling that they had no way to start.

"It's simple, just throw them into the fire and roast them." Jiang Xuan is very confident in roasting crabs because he often roasted them in his previous life.

Jiang Xuan first heated the fire, then opened a space in the middle of the fire, threw all the big crabs in, and continued to add firewood.

The flames were burning, and it didn't take long for the big crab's shell to turn from blue-gray to an appetizing red under the high temperature.

However, the crabs may have parasites in their bodies, and they are very large. Jiang Xuan must ensure that they are completely cooked before eating.

Jiang Xuan used a wooden stick to put the charcoal fire on the crabs and covered them.

After a long time, the shell of the big crab was burned black, but it did not turn into coke, and the crab meat inside was still intact.

Jiang Xuan made sure they were fully cooked, so he picked up all the big crabs from the charcoal fire.

Jiang Xuandao: "Sister, lend me your stone knife."

Chishao pulled out the stone knife from her waist and handed it to Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan first pulled the largest crab steak aside, and after it had cooled down a little, twisted its tongs and legs off one by one and put them aside.

Then, he used a stone knife to pry open the de-curled abdomen of the big crab and cut it off. This thing is inedible.

Immediately afterwards, he used a stone knife to pry open the crab shell, removed the crab stomach, crab heart, crab gills, and crab intestines one by one, and took them out one by one, telling them that they should not be eaten, as they might be poisoned.

As soon as they heard that they would be poisoned, the four of them became nervous, and firmly remembered the parts of the crab that cannot be eaten.

"Okay, you can eat the rest."

The big crab is steaming, the crab roe is full, the crab meat is white, and the fragrance is fragrant.

Jiang Xuan scraped the crab roe into the crab shell, cut another piece of bamboo, and handed it to Chi Shao: "Sister, try it first."

Chishao took the crab shell, picked up some crab roe with bamboo pieces and put it in her mouth, the delicious taste bloomed on the taste buds on the tip of her tongue, and her eyes lit up.

"good to eat!"

Chi Shao complimented, UU read www.uukanshu.com and then buried her head to eat, seeing Uncaria and others drooling.

Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "These meats are delicious too."

He cut the big crab open and distributed the crab meat to Uncaria, Loach and Nanxing who were drooling on the side.

After the three of them ate crab meat, their tongues could not wait to swallow it. They had never tasted this delicious taste.

Next, Jiang Xuan used a stone to smash the tongs and crab legs apart, and took out the crab meat inside to eat.

The crab behind, Jiang Xuan let Chishao, Uncaria and others take turns taking turns, and he gave pointers.

After Chishao and the three teenagers decomposed a few crabs, they thoroughly memorized the decomposing steps of crabs, and could accurately pick out the parts that could not be eaten.

After the big crab is decomposed, they don't care what the crab meat is, they eat it directly when they get it close to their mouths. If they can't eat it, they smash it with a stone, and they eat it very fast.

It didn't take long for more than a dozen big crabs to be eaten.

Uncaria smashed the last crab claws open and stuffed the crab meat into his mouth. He said, "It's delicious, but it's too much shell and too little meat, and it's gone before you're full."

Everyone nodded, the crabs really had too little meat.

Jiang Xuan said with a smile: "This thing can't be a staple food in the first place. Let's eat something else. If you eat too many crabs in a day, you will have a stomachache."

Uncaria and others felt it was a pity again, why can't they eat more of such delicious food?

But they didn't dare to take the risk of stomach pain and continue to grab and eat, so they had to wait for the next time.

At the moment, several people ate some wild fruits and plant roots. After filling their stomachs, they started to build houses.

Bamboo sheds are too rudimentary. If you want to live here for a long time, you must build a house that can truly shelter from the wind and rain.
