Chapter 1366: Granting Seeds and Teaching Agricultural Techniques
The interior was completely empty and surprisingly spacious.
Chu Chen walked out in disbelief and looked at the big tree. Indeed, the trunk was very large and had no branches.
It seems these people hollowed out the tree before they moved in.
However, what kind of furniture would a tribe that doesn't even have fire have?
The inside of the tree was completely empty; there was nothing inside.
There were no stoves or beds.
After Chu Chen came out, he said to Gagu, "You don't know how to use fire to cook food?"
“Young master, fire is a gift from the fire god. How can we lowly people possibly use it?”
"So you eat raw food?"
Gagu nodded, not thinking anything of it.
But judging from Chu Chen's words, could it be that the immortals are hungry?
So he turned around and walked towards another big tree. A little while later, he came up to Chu Chen with a piece of raw meat in his hands.
"This is food that my Jia tribe is giving to you, young master. Please accept it."
Chu Chen frowned as he looked at the lump of raw meat in Ga Gu's hand that was still dripping blood.
I thought to myself, since I'm here, I might as well help them out.
So he took out a lighter and said to Gagu, "Go find some dry branches, and I'll teach you how to start a fire."
Upon hearing that Chu Chen was going to teach them how to start a fire, Gagu immediately jumped up.
"Young master, do you mean that we can also possess fire now?"
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up, wait a minute, I'll teach you how fire came about."
Under Chu Chen's arrangement, Gagu immediately ordered people to bring back a pile of firewood.
Then, under Chu Chen's guidance, they piled up the firewood to make it easier to burn.
Chu Chen took matters into his own hands, gathered some debris, and then pulled out a lighter. With a click, a flame shot out and ignited the debris.
Soon after, Gagu and his people knelt down once again, watching the burning flames.
There are words in the mouth.
Chu Chen stepped forward and grabbed Gagu, saying, "Alright, stop kneeling, get up. I'll teach you how to operate."
After saying that, Chu Chen handed them the lighter and then taught them how to use it step by step.
Then he took out some flint and steel from his storage space and gave them a lecture.
About half an hour later, Gagu and the people behind him looked at Chu Chen with some disbelief: "Young Master, so that's how the fire came about?"
After Chu Chen's explanation, everyone's understanding of fire was no longer so mysterious.
Some quick-witted people simply found two solid stones, tapped them together, and watched the sparks fly out. Everyone seemed to understand immediately.
Gagu walked up to Chu Chen and bowed respectfully, saying, "Young Master, thank you for bestowing upon us the fire."
Chu Chen nodded without saying a word, and directly used a branch to prop up the piece of meat and put it on the fire to roast.
Soon, the aroma of meat wafted over, making everyone present drool.
Once the meat was roasted until crispy on the inside and tender on the outside, Chu Chen took it off and, as if by magic, grabbed a handful of salt and sprinkled it on.
Then he handed it to Gagu: "Try it."
Gagu took the roasted meat and cut it into several pieces with a stone knife. He first handed two pieces back to Chu Chen and Li Qinglian, and then distributed them to the tribespeople.
Finally, I picked up a piece and took a bite.
“It smells so good, young master. This meat is really delicious. Before, we could only find wild roasted meat in the forest when divine fire fell from the sky. I never thought that we could roast it ourselves now that we have fire.”
Chu Chen curled his lip after hearing this, thinking to himself, "Wild roasted meat? That's more like animal carcasses charred by a forest fire caused by lightning."
“Hmm…Young master, this meat has a salty taste, but it’s not bitter.”
Chu Chen didn't speak. The so-called salt stone should be mineral salt. These people often travel in the mountains, so it's not surprising that they encounter mineral salt.
But that stuff has too many impurities; if you eat too much of it, it's poisonous.
Helpless, Chu Chen had no choice but to grab a handful of salt: "That's right, this is salt made from salt stone, salt fields, and the sea. Salt stone is mineral salt and cannot be eaten directly as it is poisonous. After you finish eating it, take some people to places where salt stone is found and collect some. Then I will teach you how to make these things."
Upon hearing this, Gagu immediately turned and walked towards the crowd.
Under his arrangement, the salt-harvesting team headed straight into the mountains.
Because Gagu knew that those animals would regain their strength after licking the salty stones, he knew that these things called salt were invaluable treasures to them.
Now that the immortal prince is teaching him, he must seize the opportunity.
They also longed to be able to eat cooked food and live in stone houses, just like the people in the city.
Soon after, Chu Chen produced several iron pots and began to teach them how to use them.
Three days later, Gagu looked at the refined salt they had made with great excitement and kowtowed to Chu Chen again.
At night, Chu Chen and Li Qinglian used their longswords to open several windows in the treehouse that had been arranged for them.
Then they made a mezzanine, laid out a Simmons mattress, and installed LED lights.
The two sat on the treehouse, looking out at the bright moon and sparse stars, and listening to the chirping of insects and birds. At that moment, all the pressure seemed to disappear.
"My lord, it would be nice if we stayed here forever."
Chu Chen nodded with emotion: "Indeed, for us, there is no fighting or scheming here. It's quiet and comfortable at night, very pleasant."
"But Qinglian, we are destined to go back, but at present, I have not found a way to leave this world directly."
Li Qinglian nodded: "Yes, the sisters are still waiting for you."
"Until we find a way out, shall we stay here and lead them into a completely new life?"
Chu Chen nodded gently to Li Qinglian.
Three months later, Gagu ran over excitedly: "Young master, our first wooden house is finished."
"Please, young master and madam, check in."
Chu Chen and Li Qinglian smiled at each other, held hands, and walked towards their newly built house.
Along the roadside, in those paddy fields, the rice seedlings have grown strong and healthy.
Passing by a row of thatched houses, I heard the sound of students reading aloud coming from inside.
"Young master, those children are learning to write."
"The blast furnace you mentioned, we've already started smelting iron."
Gagu was extremely excited and excitedly reported everything that had happened along the way to Chu Chen.
On the ground, in the capital city, Chen Qingxuan sat in a large villa, smoking nervously.
"Xiao Gao, still no news?"
