"What's going on?" Han Cheng asked.
"I was cooking food, and they grabbed the pottery..." Tie Tou said indignantly.
The water in the pot had been brought from the river and was about to be used to make soup, but for no apparent reason, the people from the Fire Tribe snatched the pottery, causing it to spill on the ground. This kind of incident would upset anyone.
"Grabbed the pottery?" Han Cheng furrowed his brow.
"What's happening?" He asked Bai Xue.
Of course, he wasn't asking Bai Xue directly since she wasn't involved. He wanted her to ask the people from the Fire Tribe why they did it.
After much chattering that Han Cheng couldn't understand, Bai Xue turned around.
Before she could speak, she giggled.
"Big Brother Cheng, they're worried the fire will damage the pottery..."
Upon hearing Bai Xue's outcome, Tie Tou and the others also chuckled, and the slight discomfort from earlier disappeared instantly.Tie Tou returned to the river to fetch water and simmer the salted fish soup. By now, the people from the Green Sparrow Tribe felt uneasy about not having soup meals each day. It was almost comparable to Popeye after eating spinach.
Three rocks were arranged triangular around the fire, and a pottery filled with water was placed on top. Inside, some cleaned, salted fish and dried meat, along with some vegetables the Fire Tribe had dug up, were added.
The people from the Fire Tribe widened their eyes as they watched the pottery placed on the fire, and some of them even pinched themselves.
Although they had learned from Bai Xue that the fire wouldn't damage the pottery, they couldn't help but worry. Even if it couldn't be damaged, it wouldn't look good if such a beautiful thing turned black from the fire.
The mood of the Fire Tribe vanished with the appearance of the delicious salted fish soup.
The most knowledgeable leader of the Fire Tribe took the precious pottery, called "pottery," and looked at the strange food they had never eaten before, unable to start.
After waiting for a while and seeing the people from the Green Sparrow Tribe start to eat, he followed suit and brought the bowl to his mouth, taking a sip.
As the hot soup entered his mouth, a wonderful taste that couldn't be described in words filled his mouth...
The leader of the Fire Tribe widened his eyes, and so did the others who tasted the soup. They stared dumbfoundedly at the food in their hands, then at the seemingly ordinary people from the Green Sparrow Tribe. They wanted to ask questions but couldn't resist the temptation of the food.
No wonder they didn't show surprise or admiration when eating the meat roasted by themselves; with such delicious food, the food provided by their tribe couldn't evoke admiration from others.
The leader of the Fire Tribe thought more deeply than the ordinary people. While the Fire Tribe people thought that the Green Sparrow Tribe had brought out such delicious food to compete with them, just as they wanted to surprise each other by bringing out all the meat, the leader of the Fire Tribe didn't think so. When the people from this waterborne tribe ate this food, it amazed and praised them. They seemed very relaxed and casual, just like the people from their tribe, who were used to eating wild fruits, vegetables, and meat daily.
The leader of the Fire Tribe's hand holding the bowl trembled slightly. What kind of tribe was this?
Even their everyday food was so delicious. What would they eat on more important occasions?
At Han Cheng's signal, Third Senior Brother and the others opened a salt shaker, pinched some fine salt from it, sprinkled it evenly on the roasted meat from the Fire Tribe, and then handed it back to them, indicating for them to eat.
The people from the Fire Tribe hesitated, then took a bite. Their eyes widened instantly with disbelief.
Are the people from this waterborne tribe endowed with magical hands?
The meat is still the same, but how does it become so delicious after passing through their hands?
Many stared intently at the salt shaker, eager to know the secret.
"This is salt produced by our tribe. It makes food taste very delicious..." At Han Cheng's signal, Bai Xue began to explain to the people from the Fire Tribe.
The people from the Fire Tribe listened attentively to Bai Xue's explanation, sighing in amazement from time to time. They looked at Han Cheng's group, then at the salt, and took another bite of the food with salt added, feeling like their brains couldn't keep up.
In awe of the salt, they found nothing inappropriate about Bai Xue referring to herself as "our tribe" from the waterborne tribe's perspective.
"Can we have some salt..." The leader of the Fire Tribe licked his lips, looking somewhat eager and cautious as he asked Bai Xue.
Just earlier this spring, they had been planning to throw this sick little girl into the fire to burn her to death. Today, after recognizing this girl, who was different from before, as the sick minor, they were happier to have found an effective way to treat the disease.
They were pleased with this fortunate tribe member who had returned from the dead, but they didn't pay too much attention to her. After all, she was just a minor.
But now, things were different.
As the waterborne tribe revealed more wonders, this clearly favored minor girl began to receive more attention from them.
By now, even the most esteemed leader of the tribe wanted to inquire about the situation from her and ask if the leader of the waterborne tribe could provide them with some salt and pottery.
And no one felt that there was anything inappropriate about doing so.
At this point, Bai Xue no longer felt any fear toward the tribe she had once lived in because, behind her, her big brother Cheng was smilingly pushing two jars of salt toward the leader of the Fire Tribe.
With Big Brother Cheng around, the tribe where she had lived before would never do anything harmful to her again.
"Talk to them about our tribe's matters, but don't mention how salt and pottery are made." Han Cheng affectionately patted Bai Xue's head and said with a smile.
The adult women from the Fire Tribe soon surrounded Bai Xue. They listened earnestly to her words, sometimes asking questions but mostly showing expressions of disbelief and uttering exclamations.
The delicious food that couldn't be finished, houses more comfortable than caves, fences that kept wild animals away, little bugs that could spin silk, hemp that could be used for weaving...
All these things they had never heard of before left the women from the Fire Tribe dumbfounded.
What impressed them the most and sparked their imagination the most was Bai Xue's mention of underwear.
Because when talking about these things, Bai Xue's expression was the most excited and proud...
