Collins went hunting anyway.

When Xiao Ya returned to the house, she felt dizzy, so she poured herself a glass of water, sat on the stone bench and drank it while recalling what happened just now.

Today was the day when the hunting team set off. After breakfast, Collins called the family together.

"We traveled far this time for hunting, and it will take about ten to fifteen days to return. Aphra, I'm not at home, so I will leave the family affairs to you."

Afra patted her small chest and assured her, "Don't worry, brother, I will take good care of the family."

Collins nodded, "I already greeted Uncle Carat yesterday, and he will be in charge of your three meals in the future. You can ask him if you don't understand anything."

Afra wrinkled her little nose, and said coquettishly, "I know, you've said it several times. Brother, don't always worry about family affairs when you are outside. Be careful and come back early."

Elijah jumped onto Collins' lap and echoed, "Yes, yes, brother, come back early, Elijah will miss you!"

Collins picked up Elijah, kissed the puppy on the head, hugged Aphra again, and said tenderly: "Okay! You also have to be obedient, stay at home, and wait for me to come back."

……

Looking at the warm scene in front of him, Xiao Ya could only use one side as the background board.Such an atmosphere made him feel like he was alienated from the whole family, and in fact, he was indeed rejected.

After they finished talking, Collins turned his head and said to Xiao Ya: "If you want anything, just tell Aphra, and he will find a way." This attitude was obviously much colder than before.

Xiao Ya nodded without saying anything, and there was no expression on his face.

When Collins walked to the door, he suddenly turned around, fixed his eyes on him and said, "Remember your promise to me." After speaking, he left without looking back.

During the whole process, Xiao Ya didn't say a word, not because he didn't want to say it, but because he didn't know what to say.Obviously, Collins doesn't trust him at all. He would rather give the family to a child who hasn't grown up than let him take over. Doesn't this explain the problem?

After what happened this morning, Xiao Ya felt a greater sense of crisis in his heart. It seemed that he really needed to make a good plan.

This place is different from the previous life. In the previous life, he could support himself even if he was kicked out now, but in this world, once he left the tribe, he might not be able to survive even a day.He is a weak sub-orc man, unable to transform, unable to fight, and placed in the jungle, he is not enough for a large beast to fit between his teeth.

After much deliberation, Xiao Ya felt that he was in a very bad situation.A few days ago, he slapped the tribe hard. Although the elders did not punish him, they definitely had opinions on him.Xiao Ya's natal family probably can't be counted on. He's been here these days, and he hasn't even seen his natal family, so he probably doesn't want to associate with him anymore.And the so-called adulterer, who hasn't shown up until now, doesn't need to think about it to know that he is a scum.As for Collins, don't mention it.

Xiao Ya sighed secretly, it seemed that no one could count on him, and he had to rely on himself in the end.

After thinking about this, Xiao Ya was not in a hurry. He had to find out the situation of the tribe first, before he could make any further plans.

The lunch was made by neighbor Kela and delivered directly to Xiao Ya's house.

"Just put the bowl on the table after you've eaten, and I'll take it back when I come over at night." Although Carat didn't say anything else, Xiao Ya could read a trace of contempt and disdain from his eyes.

Xiao Ya pretended not to see it, and smiled at Carat, "Thank you Uncle Carat, my body has recovered, and the bacon and jerky at home are enough to eat, so I won't trouble you for dinner."

After hearing this, Carat was obviously stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked, "Can you do it?" Although he was asking Xiao Ya, the distrust in his eyes was too obvious.

Xiao Ya smiled again, lowered his eyelids, and said unhurriedly: "I will learn to do it sooner or later, won't I? Besides, I can't always bother you."

Carat hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Well, if you have any difficulties, you can go to me. Collins brought me a lot of meat before leaving, and I will send it back to you later. I will leave first, and the family There's a little boy waiting to eat."

Xiao Ya nodded, sent Carat to the gate, and then turned back to the house.

Sitting on the bed, Xiao Ya let out a long sigh of relief. Although he thought he was thick-skinned, he still felt a little uncomfortable when he thought of the loathing and contempt in his eyes just now.

Looking at the bowl full of barbecue on the table, Xiao Ya decided to forget about these depressing things for the time being, and eating was the most important thing.The barbecue meat made by Carat was mediocre, but the portion was quite large. Xiao Ya ate it hard and only ate two-thirds of it.

After eating, Xiao Ya decided to go to the kitchen first.He knew that he was annoying, but he didn't need someone to remind him every day. Besides, Carat's craftsmanship was really not to his taste. If that was the case, he might as well do it himself.

Near the door of the kitchen, there are two stoves built with stones, and two large iron pots are installed respectively. In the center of the room is a square stone table with knives, shovels, pots and bowls on it. The porcelain jar is full of bacon.There are two rows of thick iron nails embedded on the wall, and dried meat pieces are hung on one wall.After reading this, Xiao Ya felt relieved, the meat was enough to last for two months, and by then, Collins would have returned long ago.

Xiao Ya took out a piece of cured meat and soaked it in water in advance to remove excess salt.

After soaking the meat, it was still early, so he went back to the house and took a nap. When he woke up, the sun was already westward.Xiao Ya simply washed his face, and then began to think about what to eat for dinner.

In his previous life, his cooking skills were above average, but as a Chinese citizen, he has been influenced by so many years of food culture, and he still has some experience in eating.Make a piece of meat, what a joke!

Xiao Ya rinsed the soaked cured meat first, then separated the fat and lean meat, cut into cubes, and blanched.After draining the water, put the fatty meat into the pan and fry it slowly over low heat. After a while, the fat will come out.When the diced fatty meat turned yellow and dried, Xiao Ya decisively turned off the flame, and took out the meat residue and put it in a bowl.

I took a piece and tasted it, and it tasted okay, a little salty, but I don’t need to add salt.This thing should be eaten while it is hot.He looked at the door, and purposely raised his voice and shouted: "Aphra, Elijah, come here quickly, there is something delicious!"

After a while, the door was slowly opened a crack, revealing a small round face above and a puppy's head below.The corner of Xiao Ya's mouth curled up, and he went straight to pull the door open. "Come in!"

In fact, he heard the movement when the meat was frying just now, but he didn't see through it.Seeing the timidity of the two little guys, he didn't say much, and set aside some of the meat scraps for himself to eat, and divided the rest equally between the two little guys.

Although grabbing food from one bowl is more atmospheric, but because of Elijah, a bastard, he still thinks it's better to separate.As long as this guy licks a few times in the bowl, everyone will only have to eat his saliva.

Facts have proved that Xiao Ya is wise, and Elijah is too picky about his food.Look, it took only two or three mouthfuls, and the meat residue in the bowl was covered with saliva.While he was eating, he was still smacking his mouth, this... shouldn't be a problem in the world of beasts, right? "Elijah, eat slowly, and no one will grab you."

The same is eating, Aphra is more pleasing to the eye.Aphra looks only a little over one meter long. She has a chubby face with a bit of baby fat, big eyes, a small mouth, and a small nose that is straight and upturned. She looks very cute.When he started eating, his little cheeks bulged and bulged, and it took a long time to chew a piece of meat. Xiao Ya really wanted to pinch the child's fleshy face.

After eating the meat scraps, Xiao Ya called Afra to her, "Afra, go and tell Uncle Carat not to prepare dinner for you tonight, I'll make dinner."

He's already planning to cook by himself, so naturally he can't do it alone, and he doesn't have two children at noon, so it's still necessary to say hello.But it is more appropriate for Afra to talk about it than him himself.

Aphra froze for a moment, then nodded.

"Go! It's too late, Uncle Carat will cook it." Although he doesn't mind cooking more meals for two people, he still has to be willing, so let the two little guys choose with their tongues.

Xiao Ya believes that after eating his cooking, the little ones will no longer want to eat other people's cooking. It's not that his cooking skills are too good, but that the cooking skills here are too bad.

After Afra left, Xiao Ya scooped the excess oil into the earthenware pot, heated the oil again, added green garlic and sautéed it until fragrant, then poured the lean meat into the oil and stir-fried.After the meat changes color, add water to submerge the meat and simmer over high heat.After the water boiled, Xiao Ya put in a few more crushed fruits, and then turned to low heat to simmer.As for the seasoning, I'm sorry, except for salt and green garlic, I don't have anything else, otherwise he can't season it with fruit.

When the meat was almost ready, Afra came back, "Brother Xiao Ya, I'm back."

"Well, did you tell Uncle Carat?"

"Well," Aphra agreed, then wrinkled her little nose and sniffed it, then looked at the bubbling and steaming pot, her eyes lit up immediately, "It smells so good! Brother Xiao Ya, what are we going to eat at night? Is it boiled?" Meat?"

Xiao Ya nodded, "This should actually be stewed meat. It's the first time I've made it. You guys have a taste. If it doesn't suit your taste, I'll try something else."

Aphra and Elijah froze at the same time, then shook their heads vigorously, "This is very good, there is no need to change it!"

Xiao Ya was stunned to see such a big reaction from the two of them, but after thinking about it for a while, he also made a guess.Hehe, these two boys probably thought of barbecue.

The stew was quite successful, although it was not as delicious as I remembered, but it was enough to see here.Aphra and Elijah ate very happily, and each of them had a round belly. Xiao Ya did so much, but there was nothing left.

"Ah! Just eat it every day from now on!" Elijah lay on the ground, his big eyes narrowed, and his little paws kept scratching his belly.

Xiao Ya was amused, "Silly boy, don't you get tired of eating it every day?" Seeing that Elijah's ears drooped instantly, Xiao Ya added: "Don't worry, the more you cook, the better it will be in the future. It doesn't get any worse than this stew."

Elijah rolled his eyes and continued scratching his stomach.

Xiao Ya held back her laughter so much that she almost hurt internally, why is this kid so cute.
