"I'm making jerky..."Ye Ke proudly took the meat strip and continued to smear the salt, and then raised the meat strip with a thin layer of fine salt in his hand.

In the starry cold haze-colored eyes, a little doubt flashed, "Jerky, it seems that I heard the little female say it." ’

recalled that Ye Ke had mentioned making jerky once, and he refused because it sounded unreliable, but this time he was so interested, and it was not good to say anything.

Seeing the expected reaction, Ye Ke explained proudly, "Jerky is a kind of food that can be stored for a long time, and if it is preserved, it will not spoil and rot throughout the season!"

The main reason why salted food is not easy to spoil is that Ye Ke remembers that after salting, the conditions suitable for bacteria to multiply are destroyed.

The salt will enter the meat until the balance between the inner and outer salt is reached, at which point, the bacteria almost stop moving, so it is not easy to spoil, not to mention that it can be stored for a longer time with air drying.

"A season?" Xinghan couldn't believe it.

Small and medium-sized tribes near the Chapal rainforest have never heard of a way to store food, and for long periods of time.

The big tribes outside the rainforest may have a way to survive the dry season, or a way to store food, or something else that people don't know...

Otherwise, it will not grow stronger and stronger, and from time to time it will have to wage war and annex some small tribes around it.

But even if there are tribes that have a way to store food for a long time, they will cover it tightly, and they will never leak a little rumor, how can they know.

When the dry season comes, the weather will become extremely dry and hot, and most of the trees and flowers will wither, bare and dead.

Animals that are active in the rainforest will migrate en masse to a more suitable living environment after feeling the climate change.

Some choose to huddle in a safe place, hoard a small amount of food, fall into a long sleep, and reduce the body's loss of energy.

At that time, most of the hunting would go home empty-handed, and the occasional prey caught would only be supplied to the females and cubs, and there would always be some people who could not eat food.

Every dry season, many people die because of lack of food, and some of them awaken the soul of the beast, sometimes in order to save food for the cubs and females, they are weak and go out to find food, and they never come back.

Therefore, when the dry season is approaching, people of small tribes like them try to store as much fat as possible in their bodies to resist the possibility of long-term hunger.

How long it can be kept, Ye Ke is not very sure, after all, he really doesn't have much experience.

Scratching the back of his head, he whispered, "Actually, I don't know how long I can store it, so I can only make it a little bit first, this is the only way I can think of at the moment." ”

It is best to store food and freeze it, but Ye Ke remembered that when he first came here, Xing Han said that they were on the Scorching Continent here.

There is a long dry season and a rainy season, so there should be no winter, and it is unlikely that there will be ice, so she didn't talk about freezing.

Recently, the climate has become drier and drier, and in the past few days, I have heard that the water level of the small river near the tribe has dropped a lot, and at this time of year, it is a sign that the dry season is coming.

If there is really a way to preserve the food, it is really good news, "What Ke'er said is true?" Xing Han couldn't help but confirm it.

"Well, we used to... In the past, the tribe used this fine salt boiled out of salty stones to make dried meat for preservation. Ye Ke said with a serious face, and his two hands were clenched into fists hard, as if to cheer himself up.

Then he said, "But, I... Hehe, I haven't done it myself before, I'll tell you when I'm done. The words fell and looked at Xing Han with some embarrassment.

It turns out that the jerky that the little female used to talk about is to store food. Xing Han thought about blocking Ye Ke from making jerky that time, and felt a little guilty, blaming himself for being too self-righteous.

"It's really important to store food, thank you Kerr. Xing Han was really grateful to Ye Ke in his heart for telling such an important method of storing food.

As a witch doctor of a tribe, how could he do these things with his own hands before, Xing Han thought about finding someone who was more trustworthy and had good hands and feet to come over to help, not wanting Ye Ke to be tired.

If there was really a way to store food, then the tribe would not lose so many clansmen every year, and Xing Han remembered that the number of clansmen in the "Source Tribe" every year would be so much.

This is still improved after the awakening of his beast soul, in the past, more people died in each dry season than more cubs were born every year, so the smaller the tribe, the more difficult it is to develop, and even after the dry season every year, many small tribes have disappeared.

I was very glad that he rescued people back at the beginning, Xing Han felt that maybe it was really the mercy of the beast god who knew the plight of the tribe, so he sent Ye Ke here.

Showing a smile, Ye Ke continued to smear the salt, "Don't be so polite, if you hadn't rescued me back in the first place, I would have been killed by that... The sawtooth beast swallowed it. ”

Speaking of the sawtooth beast, Ye Ke's salty hand paused, and then remembered the things he had been thinking about during this time to upgrade the game system.

The last time I participated in the tribal festival, I was upgraded by mistake, but I heard the clansmen say that the festival is only held once a year here, and it may take longer, "Will this upgrade be too slow?" Ye Ke secretly calculated in his heart.

At present, the identification function of the system is quite easy to use, at least in this primitive society, it can be regarded as the most practical.

It's just that the backpack function can't be used easily, and suddenly take something away and take it out again, it's still okay to fool people at a critical time, and if someone finds out something, it's not good to kidnap her away as an automatic warehouse.

'In the current game system, your level is level 3, and if you level up two more levels, you can unlock two functions at the same time. Ye Ke browsed silently, looking inwardly at the game system in his mind, the various locked places.

I've checked it before, and what I can achieve recently is that after reaching level 5, you can turn on the cooking function and get a lot of cooking menus.

Specifically, she can't remember clearly, but she remembers that this function is used to catch pets, and it can also be used to improve temporary attributes, which should come in handy.

At the same time, you can also unlock a skill bar, but Ye Ke vaguely remembers that you have to fight monsters to drop skills, so no matter what, you still have to fight the boss.

"By the way, Xinghan, that sawtooth beast, in the rainforest... Is it too much?" Ye Ke asked tentatively, by the way, to find out the strength of the boss of this level.
