Chapter 28: Ni Ma! This is a proposal!

  This greatly disappointed Mo Yi'er, no wonder the internal falling tribe people didn't like their fish dishes, there were no seasonings to remove the fishy smell, and the taste of the fish was indeed unacceptable to the internal falling tribe people who were used to eating meat from forest animals.

  She and Chu Xian thanked Hai Sen and promised to return the pottery intact before returning to their temporary dwelling in Ye Peng.

  Without too much seasoning, can the fish head soup be done well? Mo Yi'er was really unsure. She first soaked the fish head in cold water for about half an hour to remove the gills. Then she took some fatty meat and fried it into oil, first placing the large fish head that had been split open in the middle in a clay pot and pan-frying it until the surface turned yellow, before adding water to simmer it.

  At this time, the fragrance of fried fish heads filled the leaf shed, and not a bit of fishy smell could be detected. Chu Chuo and several other tribesmen exclaimed in surprise, never expecting that just using a little animal oil would make the smelly fish smell so good.

  At this time, the fish body that had been baked earlier was already cooked. Mo Yier first took a bite and found that it still tasted very fresh and delicious. She was the only one eating the fish meat, while the other tribe members refused to eat it. She didn't force them either, but quietly waited for the fish head soup to be done.

  They say that even the most mundane things can be transformed into something extraordinary, and Mo Yi's fish soup was a perfect example. The broth had been simmered for hours, reducing to a creamy white color, and the aroma wafting from it was so enticing that even the Hemu tribe from next door came over to investigate. When they found out that Mo Yi had managed to make something so delicious out of fish heads, which they normally wouldn't eat, the Hemu tribespeople were stunned, and they even told their leader, Hai Sen.

  Haisen finished eating in his own leaf hut and came to Mo Yier's place. Mo Yier had just taken the clay pot off the fire and was using a simple spoon made of rolled-up tree leaves to drink the fish head soup, hmm! The flavor is very fresh and delicious, although there is still a fishy smell, but compared to the fish they cooked, the flavor is already very good. Seeing that everyone was extremely curious about this pot of milky white fish head soup, she let them all try some.

  So this pot of fish head soup stunned everyone, including the Haimu tribe who were good at cooking fish.

  "Chu Huo leader, how did you make this fish head soup? Can you teach our tribespeople how to do it? I'm willing to trade this clay pot for it!" Hai Sen made such a request after taking a sip.

  "This..." Chu Yan looked at Mo Yier, who was full of excitement. Exchanging a worthless thing for a luxurious ceramic pot was simply too cost-effective.

  "Of course, Chief Haysen, these two fish heads were given to me by your tribespeople!" Afterwards, Mo Yier carefully taught the women of the Haimu tribe how to make fish head soup, and also told them some methods for frying fish with oil and pan-frying fish. Not just fish heads, but all types of fish meat can be eaten this way.

  But this stumped the people of the Haimu tribe, who survived on fish and found it difficult to hunt even when there were animals nearby. The dried meat used by other tribes for salt exchange had no fat that could be extracted.

  Mo Yi'er learned of their difficulties and asked Chu Yan, "Are we in a hurry to return to the tribe? If not, we can hunt some game nearby for the Haimu tribe and exchange something."

  Chu heard the words and thought carefully. It's still early for winter, and there's still time to stock up on food. He said: "We can stay in the Haimu tribe for five more days!" As he spoke, he raised his hands and shook them. Although he had learned to count, he was still afraid that he would not express himself accurately enough, so every time he mentioned numbers, he used his hands or stones to express it again.

  "Five days, you should have hunted back a lot of prey! Let's exchange more salt, pottery and fish with them, so that the tribespeople who stayed in the tribe can also eat seafood."

  "Good!" Chu Yan agreed without hesitation this time. Through the fish head soup that Mo Yi'er made today, he knew that the clan members would definitely like to eat the fish dishes made by Mo Yi'er's method. Moreover, everything Mo Yi'er did was for the consideration of the clan, and he had no reason not to agree.

  After making up their minds, Chu Huai told Hai Sen about the matter. Hai Sen was delighted and lent them a piece of animal hide to cover themselves with at night.

  It's worth mentioning the animal skin problem of the Haimu tribe. Almost no one in their tribe knows how to hunt, and all the animal skins are exchanged with salt and other tribes. They can barely manage to get one animal skin per person for warmth, which is why Mo Yier and his family's leaf shed doesn't have any animal skins.

  The reason why I lent it to Chuyan now is that Haisen is the leader, and there's an extra one. Chuyan expressed his gratitude, and at night by the sea, even in summer, the sea breeze would bring a few degrees of coolness. And this animal skin was naturally for Moyi to sleep on the ground. Unconsciously, no matter what Chuyan did, he would always think of Moyi first, giving her the best things and listening to her opinions.

  Tonight, Mo Yi'er slept very comfortably, especially without the indecent moans that were present in the mountain cave. When the coastline rose with a red sun, Mo Yi'er opened his eyes and excitedly ran out of the leaf shed to rush towards the sea.

  "It's too beautiful, really too beautiful." Dense and emerald green trees, silver sandy beach, azure sea, and that one wheel of red sun even more gorgeous than egg yolk.

  This pristine and unpolluted scenery is rarely seen in the 21st century, Mo Yi suddenly felt particularly lucky to be able to travel back to primitive society, living through an era when human nature was at its most innocent.

  But originally so ordinary her, in here but became the most extraordinary person, this is the gift of crossing the great god. She silently recited in her heart, she must use her own hands to work hard and make all the tribes live a better life...

  "Mo Yu'er!" Chu Yan didn't know when he had walked to Mo Yu'er's side, while she was admiring the beautiful sunrise, he gazed at her with deep affection. In his eyes, no matter how beautiful the sunrise was, it couldn't compare to Mo Yu'er's beauty. Since Mo Yu'er came of age, he knew that she had grown up, so what was he waiting for? "Mo Yu'er, are you willing to be my partner? I will protect you well for the rest of your life."

  Mo Yi'er slightly foolishly turned her head, looking at Chu Yan. What's going on? How could he confess like this while watching the sunrise? No, it wasn't just a simple confession, but more like a modern proposal.

  "Mo Yu'er, please answer me, can I be your man?" Chu Yan was actually a bit depressed in his heart. He didn't pounce on Mo Yu'er like the others of his kind did, so why was she acting this way?

  "This... I'm still young, let's talk about it later!" Mo Yier found such a clumsy excuse, she didn't mentally prepare to have a boyfriend now, at least not until they were more familiar with each other!
