Chapter 34 A piece of equipment that makes international friends turn pale - chopsticks

Bowls and spoons for serving soup from a large vat are not enough for drinking broth. There is only one thing missing, and that is chopsticks!

In the past, there were only two ways to eat food in the tribe. One was fruits and other things that could be eaten raw, and the other was meat, which was eaten by roasting.

These two types of food are solid, or do not stick to water, and can be eaten directly with your hands, but now that there are boiled foods, it is impossible to eat like this.

When encountering larger meat or bones, the hot soup in the bowl cannot be submerged, and you can lift it out with your hands, but it will be troublesome when encountering small ones.

Either drink the soup in the bowl first, or carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of heat or oil, and directly fish out the meat at the bottom of the bowl and eat it.

But neither of these two methods was convenient, especially the second one. Seeing the dripping juice from the fish they scooped up, Han Cheng wanted to lose his temper.

Didn't he become Ah San and some other international friends by eating like this?

Before Han Cheng came here, he had watched some videos of black-and-white international friends eating hot pot directly, and he felt really awkward from the bottom of his heart.

So after discovering this phenomenon in the tribe, he immediately stopped it.

In particular, Han Cheng tapped the favorite stone twice on his hand with a ruler specially made for teaching.

There was also a burst of grievance in everyone's heart, especially Shi Shi.

Even though he was young, he also got a big bowl. Before he finished the soup, he was a little full. If he didn't grab it, he would be full with all the soup, and he wouldn't have the stomach to deal with the rest of the meat.

There is meat in the bowl but you can only drink soup. This is a huge torment for primitive people who value food more than anything else.

Just as everyone was grimacing, spitting out the heat and drinking the soup hard, hoping to eat the meat at the bottom of the bowl, Shenzi, who had walked outside for a while, came back.

He came in with a small bundle of smooth-surfaced twigs the size of a little finger in his arms.

Under everyone's puzzled gazes, Han Cheng called his elder brother over to help him cut them into sections of about 20 centimeters.

Then scooped some water from another large vat to wash it off, and distributed two sticks to each of them under the increasingly puzzled eyes of everyone.

Wu, who was the first to get the simple chopsticks, put the pottery bowls in his hands on the ground, looked them up and down one by one, and made gestures from time to time, but he still didn't find out how to use them.

Wu is very wise. He understands the plight of the people in the tribe at this time. From the fact that the Son of God did not let everyone scoop up meat in the bowl with their hands, and then started to make the two sticks, he can basically guess the meaning of the Son of God. intention.

But, how could such a thing get the meat out of the bowl?

Wu held a chopstick in one hand in a daze, and pawed in the bowl. He used two chopsticks to support a piece of meat out of the water, but before he could eat it with his head, he shook his hand slightly, and the piece of meat came out of the water. It had already fallen back into the bowl, and even splashed a lot of the fragrant broth, which even made Wu feel a little distressed.

The rest of the people were not as good as Wu. Except for a few who had guessed that the son of God got these two things to solve the current predicament, the rest didn't even know Han Cheng's purpose.

They were all curiously and perplexedly playing with the sticks that Han Cheng and they sent one after the other.

Some naughty children have already knocked the sticks in their hands on the heads of their partners, which is a good use.

Except for young children who cannot eat independently, everyone in the tribe has a pair of simple chopsticks made from local materials.

Han Cheng knew that they didn't understand the purpose of this thing, and he had no intention of explaining it.

He came to the place where he was before, picked up the bowl on the ground, cleared his throat, and attracted everyone's attention, and then skillfully moved the two chopsticks to his right hand.

The two chopsticks are close together, and the upper end leans against the tiger's mouth, revealing a length of four or five centimeters.

From the bottom to the top, about two-thirds of it naturally rests on the first joint of the middle finger. The index finger and thumb hold the chopsticks separately, and the chopsticks that are together will separate when the fingers move.

Han Cheng stretched his chopsticks into the bowl and quickly retracted them, and he picked up a piece of meat under the soup.

With everyone's suddenly understanding expressions, Han Cheng put the meat into his mouth and ate it deliciously.

Wu, who had witnessed how Han Cheng used chopsticks with his own eyes, showed a dazed expression. It turned out that these two thin sticks were used in this way!

He imitated Han Cheng just now, holding two thin sticks together with the hand that often holds the 'stone pen'.

(Before Han Cheng made the language and characters of the witch god, both hands of the witch could be used to write, but after Han Cheng told the witch god that the language is best written with the 'right hand', when the witch wrote again, he used his right hand more time than the left hand.

From this alone, Wu has learned a lot. Before, he only knew that people have two hands, but it was hard to tell which side it was.

Since the son of God said left and right, this problem has been solved very well.

Moreover, the two concepts of left and right are very useful. Not only can hands be divided into left and right, but also feet, ears, eyes, and more can be separated into left and right. The emergence of this concept allows witches to record things At that time, the records were more detailed and accurate. )

Wu held the bowl in his left hand and the chopsticks in his right. Following Han Cheng's example, he separated the chopsticks clumsily and unfamiliarly, and put them into the bowl.

It's just that in Han Cheng's hand, the dexterous wooden stick that looks like two fingers is in the hands of the witch, but it doesn't obey at all.

He tried his best to control them, trying to pick up the meat in the bowl, but he couldn't do it. After trying several times in a row, he finally got a piece crookedly into his mouth.

This made Wu a little happy.

The state of the rest of the people is not much better than that of Wu, their movements are all unfamiliar and clumsy, and there are many people who can't even tell which hand is holding the chopsticks.

Among them, the adults in the tribe are the most. Those children in the tribe who learned from Han Cheng, because they have accepted the concept of left and right when they first learned to write, there are not many mistakes.

It's not too difficult for them, just remember which hand is holding the pen, and that's it.

Seeing the people who clumsily use their chopsticks to pick up the meat in the bowl and even poke the bowl over, the helpless Han Cheng can only hold the bowl and teach them one by one...

Many people in the cave didn't understand Shenzi's behavior. It was good to eat with hands, but they wanted to make these two chopsticks to torture people.

It is also because of the appearance of chopsticks that the second senior brother, who likes to eat the most, is a little afraid of the arrival of meal time, especially the kind of rice with soup.

But Han Cheng is very serious about using chopsticks. After discussing with the senior brother, he specially made broth for six or seven days in a row. Swipe around the people in the middle to see who is eating with their hands instead of chopsticks. Once they find out, they will be beaten by him with a ruler.

Although it doesn't hurt, no one wants to suffer, because it is a shameful thing.

Under his strong pressure, after about a week or so, people in the tribe have become accustomed to eating with chopsticks, and even some skilled people now use chopsticks to pick up and eat when eating barbecue.

And the second senior brother, after breaking five pairs of chopsticks and overturning bowls eight times, finally mastered this skill that once made countless foreign friends turn pale.
