Chapter 36: Cured meats
"Cellar?"
Qing was confused, looked at Jiang Qing, and then looked at Lan next to him.
What is this cellar? Can you really store things?
"Yes, the cellar." Jiang Qing nodded, the cellar can not only store tuber foods such as sweet potatoes, but also some vegetables and fruits.
It plays a decisive role in surviving the dry season for the tribe.
What's more, if you only make bacon, the cellar is also very suitable for storage.
Listening to Jiang Qing's description of the cellar little by little, Qing and the others' eyes suddenly lit up, and they couldn't wait to start digging the cellar immediately. The food hunted yesterday and the half-year bonfire held last night were almost eaten, so Jiang Qing mentioned the meat that Jiang Qing had made, and today, it was led by Wolf Mo to hunt.
After Jiang Qing drank the broth, he explained the various benefits of the cellar, and took advantage of Qing Qian's free time to find a man, while Jiang Qing and Lan worked with Lan on the leftover meat from yesterday. The weather is hot, and if you don't treat it properly, the meat will rot and spoil quickly.
Unbeknownst to him, someone in the tribe had eaten carrion, but it didn't take long for them to get sick, and even the doctor could do nothing but watch them die.
After that, no one in the tribe dared to eat carrion. In their eyes, carrion is more terrible than the poisonous plants of the Forest of Death.
"Aunt Lan, is there a lighter bone knife?" Jiang Qing was aggrieved, the bone knives in the tribe were very heavy, and the light ones weighed at least a dozen catties.
With Jiang Qing's little strength, not to mention using the bone knife to divide the food, it was very difficult to even pick up the bone knife and swing it.
Seeing Jiang Qing's aggrieved face, Lan and the women who were handling raw meat on the side laughed. They are all under the age of 100, and for the nearly two hundred years old in the Beast God Continent, they have just entered middle age.
"Jiang Qing, you have to ask about the water, the water family, the craftsmanship of making zuò bone knives is the best in the tribe. You want a lightweight bone knife, go for her. Lan pointed at the woman on the left, Nunu.
Jiang Qing looked at the blue line of sight, it was a woman of about 1.8 meters, with a burly and powerful body, and she looked like a cool person.
"Jiang Qing, what kind of bone knife do you want?" Shui didn't refuse and asked Jiang Qinglai.
Jiang Qing waved a few times and said, "That's troublesome Aunt Shui, I want to be lighter, it's better to be lighter and sharper." Otherwise, I can't move it. ”
There was no way, who made her too weak, and the bulky bone knife couldn't swing at all. If it's unfavorable, she doesn't think it's used to cut meat, and she probably can't even cut vegetables.
Listening to Jiang Qing's half-grumbling words, everyone laughed.
"Okay, when the earth comes back, I'll help you speak. It's just that the tribe hasn't hunted suitable prey recently, and there are no good skeletons in the tribe. Shui Shuangli nodded.
Jiang Qing smiled and thanked her, the name of the water was different from her personality. The water is soft, but the water character is hot, but this kind of person is easy to get along with.
"Shui, when will your family Luo Shan hold a marriage ceremony?" Blue Narrow Road.
Speaking of which, last night's half-year bonfire party facilitated several pairs, but whether the marriage ceremony can be held is still two words.
"Huh! Aunt Lan, Luo Shan is Aunt Shui's daughter? Hearing Lan ask like this, Jiang Qing was taken aback.
Take a closer look, though. Luo Shan and Shui are really six or seven points similar, but Luo Shan has a more heroic face, and it is estimated that he inherited Luo Shan's beast father.
"Luo Shan's girl is my daughter, and the boy of Falcon was raised by me and the earth, and there is no hurry for the marriage ceremony." Shui smiled heartily, she likes Falcon very much, and if Luo Shan and Falcon get married, she is very supportive!
However, getting married is not a trivial matter after all, and she doesn't want to meddle in the affairs between the younger generations, just go with the flow.
Rosanne has been an adult for several years, and she and the earth have been worried. But now, with this kid Falcon guarding Roshan, they are finally relieved.
"Hayabusa, that kid is really good!"
The others echoed and spoke, and everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes to Jiang Qing.
"Jiang Qing, when did you and the patriarch get married?" Water asked loudly.
As soon as he said that, everyone immediately looked at Jiang Qing. Jiang Qing was a messenger given to them by the beast god, and they hoped that Jiang Qing would stay in the Chasing Wind tribe forever. And the best way to stay is to have a biological baby with a tribal man.
Jiang Qing's head was full of black lines, coughed lightly, left to talk to him, and finally simply pretended not to hear anything.
"Aunt Lan, this meat is cut into such a big piece, by the way, remember to smear it with salt. Then wear it with something and hang it in a ventilated place. Jiang Qing didn't say a word, and immediately changed the topic.
Carrying a stone bowl with crushed salt particles inside, Jiang Qing took a piece of cut meat and carefully smeared salt on it. This meat is said to be the meat of the humming beast, but Jiang Qing guessed that it should be pork, but this pig is too big, and one head weighs about five or six hundred catties.
Such pigs are consumed by the tribe three or four a day. You can imagine how good the appetite of the people here is!
When it came to food, Lan and the others didn't care about making jokes, and stared at Jiang Qing with their eyes and followed.
When Qing brought the three of them over, more than 100 catties of meat on the stone table had been marinated, but the rope for wearing and hanging had not been found. Lan and the others decided to go to the woods to see if they could find a thinner rope to hang the meat on.
"Is the meat marinated?" Qing was surprised and looked at Jiang Qing.
Jiang Qing nodded, there are not many tribal seasonings, and the so-called pickling is just to smear some salt on the meat, and then use a rope to find a place to hang it.
"It's simple, just rub some salt and you're good to go! As long as it is hung under ventilation, it will not deteriorate when taken out to dry during the day. Jiang Qing explained with a smile that it would be bad, mainly because it was not smeared with salt, and if it was not hung and piled together, it would naturally rot and rot.
Seeing that Jiang Qing was full of confidence, Qing didn't doubt it. After all, there wasn't much meat left over from yesterday, and even if it was broken, it wouldn't be much. If it succeeds, so much the better.
"This is Fang, they are the best men in the tribe at digging the ground." Qing pointed to the young man beside him and said.
"Hello!" Jiang Qing nodded with a smile, took two steps back, dodged the fiery gazes of Fang and several people, looked at Qing, and asked, "Aunt Qing, which position in the tribe is the most yang?" The driest terrain? ”
"When the sun is shining, it is dry...... The southern side of the tribe is more in line with it. Qing pointed to the south of the tribe.
"Well, let's go south." Jiang Qing said: "However, before digging the cellar, we still have to prepare some things, thin mud, wood, and some hay......
"Jiang Qing, what do you want these things for?" Qing led the way, and the group walked to the south position. This is the right-hand side of the clearing.
"The wood is used for supports, and the thin mud and hay are used for the top, so that the dry......ness of the cellar can be guaranteed to the greatest extent," Jiang Qing stumbled and explained, in fact, she had never dug the cellar, but she followed Aunt Fan in and out of the cellar of the pig farm when she was a child.
The cellar is warm in winter and cool in summer, making it ideal for storing food.
Fang and the others followed behind, staring at Jiang Qing eagerly, as long as Jiang Qing did not get married, they would have the opportunity to pursue. This time, they finally had the opportunity to show it, and they must do their best to let Jiang Qing see their goodness.
Looking at Jiang Qing's white and tender skin, Yan couldn't help but swallow his saliva and poked it below with his elbow.
"Fang, I can't help it, I'm about to explode." Inflammation clamps his legs.
Yan was also wearing animal skins, and the big thorns were shaking, without any shame. Hearing Fang say this, he stretched out his hand to hold it and stroked it twice, "Me too, the patriarch is so cunning!" It's so fast, I was going to ask for a kiss last night......"
Speaking of which, Yan was furious.
"Me too, when the patriarch comes back from hunting, I'll challenge him to ......" said in a quiet voice, that would not be much better than Fang and Yan.
Jiang Qing listened in front, only feeling cold.
Peat......
Fortunately, there is Qing to follow, otherwise these few goods that have not evolved completely, eighty percent can't help but flirt with animal skins and birds......
Qing smiled and sighed, "Oops! It's good to be young! ”
