Xiao Xiao noticed me staring at the entrance of his cave and couldn't help but blush. He scratched his head and awkwardly said, "Hehe, our family is quite poor, not like your family, big brother."
I waved my hand and replied, "Not at all, I also come from a poor background. I just didn't expect the living conditions here to be so tough."
Xiao Xiao sighed and said, "Yeah, our area is quite low-lying. Whenever the rainy season comes, floods can easily occur, so our lives have always been difficult."
I nodded and said, "I see. However, even though your life is hard, your spirit is very strong. I admire you for that."
Hearing this, Xiao Xiao happily asked, "Really? Big brother, do you really think so?"
I smiled and nodded.
Xiao Xiao joyfully ran into the cave and brought out a wooden stick shaped like a bow wrapped in thin vines. He said, "Big brother, look! This is the wooden bow I made yesterday. It will speed up the process of drilling wood for fire-making."
My eyes lit up as I said, "Really? Then let's try it right away!"
With that, we returned to my home and took out the fire-making tools, setting them up under the sun.
Xiao Xiao placed the wooden stick in a wooden pit, wrapped the bowstring around it, braced his legs against it, and pulled the bowstring with all his might to increase the speed of drilling.
A Meng saw this and ran over to help hold the bowstring.
Xiao Xiao's face turned red from exertion; veins bulged on his forehead as he used all his strength to drill quickly.
Before long, wisps of smoke began to rise from the wooden pit.
A Meng hurriedly released the bowstring and blew air into the pit with his mouth, trying to stoke the flames.
Finally, after everyone's combined efforts, a faint flame flickered in the pit.
The group cheered loudly in joy for finally obtaining fire.
They carefully cleared the area around the pit and dug a hole near the cave entrance to bury the ember to prevent it from being extinguished by the wind.
With fire now available, they began trying to catch fish, gather bird eggs, and hunt wild game, roasting their catches over the fire.
Before long, the aroma of roasted meat wafted through the air above Stone Oven Kingdom.
Everyone followed the delicious scent and exclaimed, "Wow! It smells amazing! What is this?"
I smiled and explained, "This is called roasted meat. It's made by cooking meat over fire and sprinkling it with seasoning. It's very delicious."
Upon hearing this, everyone started swallowing their saliva.
I shared pieces of the roasted meat with everyone. After tasting it, they all praised it enthusiastically; they had never eaten such delicious food before.
I served the king a piece of roasted meat, and after tasting it, he praised it highly, saying, "This is truly the best food I have ever eaten. How did you come up with this way of cooking?"
I smiled and explained, "This is a traditional method from my hometown. People there hold a bonfire party every so often, gathering around the fire to eat roasted meat and sing songs. It's very lively."
Upon hearing this, the king looked enviously and said, "That sounds wonderful."
In the days that followed, the aroma of roasted meat became the signature of Stone Oven Kingdom. Whenever outsiders visited Stone Oven Kingdom, they were always drawn in by the enticing smell of the roasted meat.
