Chapter 65: Harvesting and Pickling
Seeing that the primitive people are not idle for the time being, and the people left by the Kui tribe are afraid that they will not leave for the time being, Zhang Hengxin is hanging tiger meat, so he does not look at the situation here, and calls Shangba and the bearded man to deal with the tiger, and personally goes into battle to cut the skin, in the village he has chopped many mountain rats, and he has a little experience in cutting the skin, but this tiger is too big, and the tail is about four meters long, and the tiger body is extremely strong, and he thought it was a cow lying there from a distance.
First knocked down another canine tooth like a dagger, the tiger's mouth is only the upper two canine teeth are longer, the lower two are only four or five centimeters, which seems very strange, because the village dog and so on are the lower canine teeth are longer, this tiger is reversed, maybe this is because the original tiger is different.
Then he cut the fur at the four tiger palms, and let Ba cut off the four soles of his feet, at this time Zhang Heng was a little embarrassed, if he started from the beginning, the tiger's head may be torn, and the tail from the back of the ass is not easy to keep, there is no way to cut it off completely, which is very different from the mouse, the tiger body is too majestic.
I had to cut open my abdomen, but with the help of Ba and Beard, I couldn't do it, and the two men couldn't lift it together, how heavy it must be.
There was no way, so he had to call a few men from the Kui tribe to come over to help, and then Zhang Heng was depressed, because the men of the Kui tribe were quite professional in cutting the skin, and they were cut off after a while, and they were also very well preserved.
He was about to take the internal organs, but Wu came over again and rushed to do it, but while taking the internal organs, he and Yan chattered together, and from time to time the visceral vocabulary taught by Zhang Heng appeared!
Zhang Heng shook his head, he still eats meat, don't meddle in these things, when the internal organs are finished, Ba and the bearded man will cut up the meat according to his requirements, Zhang Heng took a thigh with both hands and almost fell to the ground directly, this is too important, although the thickness of the tiger bone is mentioned in the Five Elements Fist, but this weight far exceeds his expectations.
It's just one leg, and it all adds up? In the end, Zhang Heng calculated an exaggerated figure, this tiger actually weighed about 800 catties! Shocked, Zhang Heng was dumbfounded, if he encountered this kind of tiger alone, in addition to running away quickly, he still ran away quickly, and his life was important!
After the meat was divided, before Zhang Heng could speak, Wu Youyou excitedly taught Yan how to hang the meat, and he didn't have anything to do with it at all.
The only way he could think of preserving tiger meat so that it could be brought back to reality to enjoy slowly and exercise the bones of his body was to smoke the tiger meat into bacon.
――――――――――
The next day, Zhang Heng made the hoe and axe, called the two witches to teach for a while, and soon the witch used a sickle to cut the sweet potato vine, cut the rattan Lao Yan held the hoe to dig, although the process was troublesome, but the sweet potato was indeed dug out, digging with a hoe actually has a disadvantage, that is, it is easy to dig up the sweet potato, and the skin can not be kept for too long, and the sweet potato will be moldy and rotten!
But the sickle and hoe are definitely the most labor-saving tools for farm work, of course, this is the premise of not using modern machines, Zhang Heng's hometown village has been using sickles and hoes until now, at this time it is just to demonstrate to the two witches, as for how the two tribes will plant in the future, he can't estimate.
There are only seven sickles and only four hoes, so they can't be busy at all, Zhang Heng simply asked Wu to harvest sweet potatoes according to the last method, and the result was to rudely pull out the rattan, and if you are lucky, you can pull out the sweet potatoes directly, but they will not be clean, and then the women began to use their hands to plow the land with wood chips, and this planing indirectly turned the land once.
Yan roared loudly, and soon a dozen men from the Kui tribe joined the group.
Zhang Heng watched for a while, then called Shangba and the bearded man to set off, wandering around the forest, and soon saw a plant with very large leaves, he came to pick leaves, and immediately cut a lot of leaves, and the three of them carried them back to the cave together.
He did it himself in the corner and spread some of the leaves on the ground, then took the tiger meat that had been hanging all night, kneaded the salt on the meat, and then wrapped it in large leaves, and put it on the ground to spread the leaves, in order to maintain hygiene and cleanliness, there is no way this is intended to be eaten in reality, and it is necessary to ensure hygiene considering the thinness of the body outside.
As concocted, the hundreds of catties of meat were wrapped in salt, piled up a hill, and finally used large leaves to cover a big spherical shape, tied up with rattan, this is to be pickled, there is no super large clay pot in the original space, and it is not realistic to beat the stone hill by hand, so it can only be pickled by this soil method.
The marinating time is about five days, and by then the leaves must have withered, just in time to take out the meat.
"Oh no, why didn't you forget to call the two witches over to take a look." Zhang Heng was suddenly depressed, and it seemed that he would have to repeat the teaching of how to marinate meat again.
When I came out of the cave and looked, the sun was already hanging in the sky, the weather was getting colder, and it might not be long before it snowed, and the women and children were already wrapped in animal skins, but the men were still bare-covered, and so were the two old witches.
Zhang Heng patted his chest, which was already considered majestic, and yelled: "I'm not cold either!" ”
After roaring, I was hungry, and I beckoned everyone to rest first and eat the rice, and at this time the sweet potatoes had been dug out a lot, and the rattan was piled up into a hill, which was wasted, and this rattan could only be wasted.
When Wu understood that he was going to eat, the women and children immediately went to pick the tender leaves on the rattan, Wu took out a few precious clay pots, filled them with water, and built a simple stove like Zhang Heng's previous method, and put the vine leaves in it, which was to be boiled and eaten.
But Zhang Heng saw that the people of the Spring tribe were already starting to eat raw vine leaves, but they were quite enjoying it, and shouted excitedly while eating: "Harvest!" ”
Zhang Heng shook his head, he hadn't tried the taste of eating sweet potato leaves raw, so it shouldn't be good, but looking at everyone's expressions, he couldn't help but pick a piece and try it, it was not bad, it was better than he imagined, but it was also difficult to swallow.
After thinking about it, let's just give it as a gift to the Kui tribe, anyway, it's a waste here, so he roared: "Yan, this pile of sweet potato vines is for you, to the Kui tribe." ”
"Tribe, King!" Yan may have understood, and excitedly pointed to the pile of sweet potato vines!
"Well, it's all for you." Zhang Heng explained.
And his lunch is to eat the tiger's internal organs, all the internal organs that cannot be pickled he has to try to eat all in the next few days, it is estimated that he still can't finish eating, cuckoo and others may come tomorrow, and everyone will eat together at that time.
To be honest, the internal organs of the tiger are not as delicious as imagined, and they are a little old, not tender at all, but in order to be stronger, it is not okay not to eat it, I eat it, I eat it violently!
In the afternoon, the men of the Kui tribe went out, and Ba also walked out of the tribe alone, but in the evening, the men of the Kui tribe brought back four beasts, but Ba returned empty-handed, and injured one of his arms.
It may really be necessary to merge the Xia tribes, but if the tribes are merged, can they still be called tribes? Zhang Heng shook his head, if he didn't understand, he didn't think much about it, he would still talk about it in the future.
Since he had extra meat, Zhang Heng simply roared: "Yan, Wu Du come here, I'll teach you to marinate meat!" ”
