Chapter 7: Salt Mines
Putting the fanged beast cub aside, Xing Han's face was full of doubts, today's hunting was not particularly smooth, and he came back later than yesterday, he couldn't rest assured that the little female was eating the prey, and he was in a hurry to eat the prey outside, and he didn't pay attention to the blood stains on it.
However, there was indeed some smell of blood in the air, and I subconsciously touched my face before I realized, "This is from hunting, not mine." ”
It felt like the little hen was caring more and more about him. Xing Han touched Ye Ke's hair again, ready to clean up the prey, "After the night, don't eat the meat of the remaining long-eared beasts if they are not fresh, they will get sick." ”
The long-eared beast left in the morning was still a lot, and Ye Ke only ate one leg, "How do you keep the leftover meat?" It's not bad, it's a pity to lose it." ”
She thought, 'If only there was a freezer, this is all game that you can't eat in modern times.' ’
In fact, this has always been done in the tribe, when there is a shortage of food in the dry season, some people once ate spoiled meat, got abdominal pain and died, and since then people have never dared to eat stale food.
And their climate here is hot all year round, and it is difficult to preserve food, "The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the dry season will be coming soon, and the prey will be spoiled every other day, but don't worry, I will never let you starve." ”
However, there is very little excess food left in the tribe, and Ye Ke eats too little to even a long-eared beast.
"It turns out that the people here don't have a way to preserve food!" Ye Ke thought about it, it seems that the easiest way to preserve meat is to soak it in salt water and then air dry, the environment here is more suitable for making jerky, no one even understands, she seems to realize how backward it is here.
However, she has only seen a little bit on the Internet before, the method of making jerky, she has not practiced, and she is not sure that she can succeed in doing it, so she should wait for the practice to be good in the future, and she will no longer think about it when she has a decision, so she will do it in advance.
"Xinghan, don't be in a hurry to barbecue first, can you take me out for a walk, see where there are salty stones, and where there are more stones, and take me to take a look. Ye Ke looked hopeful, she faintly felt that Xing Han didn't seem to want her to go out.
It's still early, there seems to be a big temperature difference between morning and evening, and you can feel the humid heat outside, which is pouring into the cave, Xing Han glanced outside, and thought that he has no right to restrict the freedom of females, but the other males in the tribe will definitely be attracted by the beautiful and moving little females.
The place with salty stones was not far from the tribe, and it didn't matter, so he was reluctant but agreed, "Okay, I'll go out with you." ”
patted the sweater that was a little dirty on his body, in fact, it was really hot in winter clothes, but there was no replacement so he could only do this first, Ye Ke got up and walked to the entrance of the cave, this is the first time he has crossed over to go out to see, and he is a little excited.
Xing Han, who was following her, walked to Ye Ke's side in a few steps, picked her up, held her ass like a child, held it in his arms, and frightened someone who was excited: "Oops!"
"I'll carry you and walk fast..."Xing Han walked out with the person in his arms without refuting it, he was going to walk from a place where there were few people, trying not to let people see the little female.
The rest of the time, Ye Ke could only hear the sound of the wind "whirring" in his ears, and a few figures flashing on the road, as if something in the sky was blocking the sun for a while, and then flew away.
Xing Han's feet were very fast, Ye Ke didn't dare to raise his head, for fear of flashing his neck, and he didn't try to look at it, attached to Xing Han's chest, and secretly muttered, 'This person is running too fast!'
It didn't take long to come to the place where the ground was full of salty stones, and it was a deep depression that had sunk down, and there were white stones in it, and there were almost no plants, and it was very eye-catching in the bare jungle.
Being hugged by Xing Han, I feel that the air is so fresh, and sure enough, tall people breathe different air from people, Ye Ke was held by a beautiful man, and he was a little excited, but he was also a little shy, and his face was a little flushed, and he didn't know if it was hot. "Put... Let me down, I'll see..."
was put down to the ground, and looked up at Xing Han again, Ye Ke felt like a dwarf, but she was now 26 years old, and her height would not grow any longer, she sighed secretly, and then squat down and picked up a small piece of salty stone, and looked at it carefully.
Dipping a little with his hand and putting it in his mouth, Ye Ke's face wrinkled, "It's saltier than yesterday's water, and it's still very bitter." With her nimble positioning, she took the opportunity to slip a piece of saltstone into her backpack and then checked the properties that the system recognized.
Name:Salt Mine (Sodium Salt)
Category: Minerals
Efficacy: Salt is the most widely used non-metallic mineral raw material in the world and is a necessity for survival.
It turned out to be sodium salt. Ye Ke originally thought that the salt mines in this forest were like saline-alkali land, and sodium salt was generally more likely to be on the seaside, and this place must have been a large ocean.
In this way, it can be dissolved directly in water, boiled and filtered to make fine salt.
Seeing that the little female had been holding the salty stone and smirking, Xinghan was also a little inexplicable, "Did you find anything?" He also walked over and squatted down, picked up a salty stone and looked at it, but didn't notice anything different from usual.
But it's more important to make two beds at the moment, otherwise Xinghan won't have a place to sleep at night. Ye Ke thought so, because there was nothing to bring back the salt mine, and he had to find a suitable stone for making a bed.
"The tribe has stones not far away, and I want to make something. She was afraid that Xing Han wouldn't be able to understand her thoughts, so she beckoned someone to come over and drew it with her fingers on the ground.
If you want to say that Ye Ke has any strengths, it may only be painting, he has loved it since he was a child, and he has studied in the studio for seven or eight years, painting a bed decently, as well as tables and chairs, and a pot by the way.
None of this seems to be easy to achieve, because even in modern times it is necessary to use mechanical tools to achieve it, and now we can only hope that there are large rocks that can lie down on the whole person, and it is estimated that someone will lift them when the time comes.
Ye Ke thought while painting, and he didn't know who first invented these things, people in primitive societies had a hard time, "This is a place where you can lie on it and sleep, because you often sleep on the wet ground, it is not good for your health, you will get rheumatism, that is, leg pain, joint pain, and you can't walk." ”
"This is a table, and a stool, where you can put something, or you can sit here and eat, and this is for cooking, well, it's about putting meat in and boiling it in water, and so on. Ye Ke introduced them one by one, and he didn't know if Xing Han could understand it.
