The lit dead leaves are not to roast grasshoppers or heat the brine in the cans of huanglong, but to prepare for the next step in boiling salt. The ash of plants and trees after the burning of www.biquge.info dead leaves contains some salt, but Lu Feng values its filtering effect more.

While the dead leaves were still burning, Lu Feng picked up a few pebbles by the stream, built a simple earthen stove, and used dead branches to draw fire from the burning pile of dead leaves to light a bonfire.

"Squeak!"

It's almost burning! It's time for the next step!

Using the empty [Huanglong] can to scoop a full can of stream water, Lu Feng extinguished the pile of dead leaves that were burning, leaving a pile of black particle remains, picked up the clean parts of it, and put it into the can soaked in salt flowers.

"Squeak!"

The little guy [Lu Lu] also ran over to join in the fun, and his soft little paws picked up the black dead leaf particles and sent them to Lu Feng's body, while looking at Lu Feng with cute big eyes.

"Squeak!"

Hey! Thank you! Son!

Grinning, he grabbed the dead leaf particles in Xiao Lu Lu's claws and put them into the can, and then Lu Feng tilted the can, so that the salt water in it flowed through the black dead leaf particles to another can, while the soil and impurities were left behind.

After repeating this several times, the salt water in the canned Huanglong was finally extremely clear, and there was no trace of the dimness of the earth, and the third step could be carried out.

"Squeak!"

It's time to boil!

Lifting the [Huanglong] can containing half a jar of clear brine water, Lu Feng put it on the earthen stove that had been lit for a long time, and quietly waited for the brine in it to boil and evaporate, so that the salt dissolved in the water could be analyzed.

This is the oldest salt production method in ancient China, due to the small output, low labor efficiency, high cost, especially the large amount of fuel consumption, has long been eliminated from the salt manufacturing industry.

However, as a squirrel, Lu Feng does not need too much volume, and at the same time, there is no shortage of dead branches and leaves in the mountains and fields, so he naturally does not need to consider the so-called production efficiency.

The capacity of the canned food is not large, and the bonfire under it is also quite vigorous, only after a short time, the salt water in the can boils, and white smoke wafts above the can, which is condensed after contact with hot water vapor and some cold air, which is blown by the mountain breeze and disappears invisibly.

"Squeak!"

Next, it's time to prepare the ingredients!

Seeing that the moisture in the can was decreasing little by little and becoming viscous, and the white salt flowers could gradually be seen at the bottom, Lu Feng carried the big grasshopper to the edge of the stream, and pulled out the small dagger with a cruel smile.

Compared to the size of humans, grasshoppers naturally only need to be rinsed before they can be put into the pot, but for Lu Feng, the size of this big grasshopper is at least equivalent to a fat sheep.

To cook a fat sheep, it is natural to disembowel, take out the internal organs, peel off the skin, and clean it.

"Click~!"

The outer skin of the grasshopper is an exoskeleton, which naturally cannot be removed, but the internal organs can still be removed.

The small sharp dagger made of metal easily penetrates the exoskeleton of the large grasshopper, breaking the chest, abdomen and abdomen of the large grasshopper, pulling out the internal organs, chopping off the excess arthropods, and cleaning them in clean water.

"Squeak squeak~~~"

Hey, hey, hey!

In the past, I watched people roast whole sheep, but now this rat roasts whole grasshoppers!

Picking an exceptionally slender and flexible one from the dead branches, and resting with a small dagger, Lu Feng pierced the slender wooden spear from the tail of the large grasshopper, and stabbed it from the back of the head and neck, firmly fixed into a string.

"Squeak~~~, squeak~~~"

Break off two Y-shaped branches, fix them in the soil next to the earthen stove, and make a simple grill, Lu Feng put the roasted grasshopper skewers in his paws on the rack, and while turning, he used a dog tail grass that had fallen off the seeds and only fluff to stain the salt brine from the pot and evenly spread it on the big grasshopper. And with Lu Feng's continuous rotation, the large grasshoppers that were constantly roasted continued to make a slight squeaking sound under the salt brine and the contraction of their own flesh, and at the same time exuded bursts of aroma.

"Squeak?"

Hey?

Smells good!

Spun for a moment, pricked it with a small dagger, and confirmed that the big grasshopper was completely ripe, Lu Feng took the big grasshopper off the grill, and dismantled the fattest two thighs to the side of the little [Lu Lu], whose mouth was slightly shiny and his big eyes were shining, and he bit on the front chest of the big grasshopper.

"Click~Click~"

Not bad! Not bad!

It smells good, and it tastes even better!

Although there is no cumin, chili pepper, only salt brine. But the grasshopper is fat enough, and there is even some fat accumulated in the body, coupled with Lu Feng's continuous rotation, so that it is heated evenly, and its own oil is fully utilized. So in the end, it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, salty and delicious, just like salt-baked shrimp, and you can't stop eating it.

"Click~, click~"

"Click~, click~"

Lu Feng and Xiao [Lu Lu]'s mouths were constantly squirming, and they couldn't stop at all. After gnawing on the two thighs that were allocated to him, the little [Lu Lu] took a piece of delicious flying muscle under the wings from Lu Feng's claws, and only then did he completely eat it.

"Hiccup——!

Well fed!

Raising his head, a full burp rushed out, not only did Xiao [Lu Lu] eat it, but Lu Feng also had a round stomach. This big grasshopper is half the size of Lu Feng's body, although it is not actually so big because of its arthropods and wings, it is also full of weight and sincerity.

"Goo-goo-goo~"

In the cans on the earthen stove on the side, the salt brine is still boiling, but it is in the final stage. There is not much water left, and the salt flowers are thickly piled up and are about to condense into hard lumps.

"Squeak!"

When you're full, it's time to exercise to boost digestion!

Squatting up, Lu Feng stood by the earthen stove, inserted the slender wooden spear that had just grilled the grasshopper into the salt brine, and kept stirring and turning.

This is the last step of the ancient method of boiling salt, in the final transpiration step, it is necessary to keep stirring, one is to let the water in the salt can be completely boiled dry, the other is to stir up the salt flowers, so that the salt will not condense into lumps, and the third point is that you can always observe the color of the salt in different parts to confirm that it will not be boiled.

Stir! Stir!

Lu Feng devoted himself to this project, although the amount of salt in the canning pot was not much, it was enough for Lu Feng to cook in one season.

Since meeting five girls in Caohai and eating all kinds of sweet dried fruits, Lu Feng's taste has been out of control. Now, not only with tinder, but also with tableware, kitchenware, and condiments, how not to let Lu Feng cook food, and the desire to enjoy food is high!

"Squeak!"

Completed!

It's time to go home!

Eventually, there was no trace of moisture in the pot, only a fine grain of salt lying at the bottom of the pot, shimmering with the unique brilliance of table salt.

The heat has not dissipated yet, Lu Feng used the dead leaves to protect the forefoot, took down the Huanglong canned food on the earthen stove, scooped the stream water to extinguish the bonfire, and cleaned up the barbecue traces, waiting for the temperature of the Huanglong canned food to drop to an acceptable range, and then called Xiao [Lu Lu], held the objects that should be taken away, and returned to the big pine tree.
