Chapter 4: Merit from Heaven
In any case, he was relieved to ensure his own safety first, and he quickly climbed a large tree.
After seeing the situation clearly, I couldn't help but take a breath, in the mountains and forests, there was a young man fighting with the tiger, it seemed that the young man still had the upper hand, the tiger had an arrow stuck in his back, and blood was dripping from his abdomen.
The young man is very athletic, relying on trees, maneuvering with tigers, and from time to time he comes to hunt with a fork.
Chen Jiping was thinking about whether to help, but his divine sense suddenly caught that not far from the young man, another tiger was lying in the grass.
Not good!
He quickly drew his bow and arrow, and at the moment when the tiger was about to pounce, he shot an arrow and issued a warning.
He aimed at the tiger's eye, but he missed the eye and shot the tiger under the ribs.
The young man was alerted, and an arrow flew up the tree.
The tiger shot by Chen Jiping roared wildly and shifted the target, and Lao Hei was so frightened that he collapsed directly to the ground.
The young man shot very quickly, drew his bow and shot an arrow in one go, and even shot an arrow into the back of the tiger's neck.
The tiger had to abandon its prey and run towards the mountains and forests.
Chen Jiping shot the second arrow, his original intention was to shoot the weak point in the middle of the tiger's buttocks, and the tiger should be unlucky, it dodged to the side, and the arrow ghost made the god pour into the ear, and immediately completed the fatal blow.
"Good archery!" The young man gave a thumbs up.
"It's just a coincidence, that tiger of yours ran away!"
"If you run, you will run, you can meet sooner or later, thank you for the reminder just now, I don't know what to call the little brother?"
"Under Chen Jiping, can you call me Chen Sanlang?"
"In Xia Liu Boqin, home is in Qianshan Liujiazhai!"
Hearing Liu Boqin's three words, Chen Jiping was vaguely familiar, I don't know if it was from the memory of Chen Sanlang or the memory of his previous life.
"It turned out to be Brother Liu, my old black was frightened, I have to appease him first!"
"Well, that tiger was shot to death by a brother, and it's yours!"
"I don't want the tiger, the eldest brother can take it, but the arrows on it are still useful!"
"How about I split this tiger?"
"Okay!"
Chen Jiping can be regarded as a master today, this Liu Boqin is not a few years older than him, peeling tiger skin and dismantling tiger bones is as smooth as solving a cow, and it is amazing to watch.
The two of them gave each other the most valuable tiger skin, but the other party gave him a pheasant in return, which saved him from looking for it again.
"If San Lang has time to visit my Liujiazhai as a guest, it is not early, I will leave first!"
"Brother Liu, be careful all the way!"
The harvest is not small, Chen Jiping doesn't plan to go around, in case the injured tiger runs over again, it will not be good, Chen Jiping let the old black camel carry dozens of catties of tiger meat and tiger bones, and he walked back while looking for ingredients.
The frightened old black seemed to have no appetite, and ignored the wild vegetables he usually liked to eat, but when he passed by a cliff, he licked the rocks there endlessly, pulled it away, and was still reluctant.
Is this rock sweet?
Chen Jiping picked off a little and found that it contained some gray crystals, and he licked it, with a little saltiness in the bitterness.
Rock salt!
His eyes lit up suddenly, this thing can extract table salt, and he remembered that the teacher had done an experiment in public.
What exactly is the process?
If it was in his previous life, he couldn't remember it, after all, it had been nearly twenty years, but since he was reborn, he found that his brain had become brighter, and as long as he had a little memory, he could basically recall it.
First crushed, diluted in water, then boiled water and filtered, it seems that activated carbon is used to absorb impurities......
He decided to try it when he got home, and if it worked, he wouldn't have to cook blandly in the future.
It would be nice if he could get chili peppers, he was not satisfied with the substitute of dogwood, but he learned from Chen Erya that there were really no chili peppers here.
knocked two large pieces of rock salt that seemed to be of the best quality, and did not rest, and couldn't wait to lead the old cow home.
On the slope at the head of the village, I saw the old man Chen who was hoeing.
"Aong~"
"San Lang is back, hey, Lao Hei has so many things on his body?"
"There's tiger meat to eat tonight!"
"What, Tiger Meat?" The old man was surprised, almost all the men in the mountain village are good hunters, but the tiger is not an animal like a jackal, it is extremely fierce, and three or five people dare not say that they can hunt it, and a little hairy child who is less than ten years old can hunt a tiger, which is really too against the sky.
"I hunted it with the hunters in Liujiazhai in Qianshan, and I shot the fatal arrow!"
"Hehe, San Lang is capable, and he is worthy of being a monkey who has passed on the immortal law!" The old man didn't take it seriously, he just thought that it was someone who had a kind heart.
Chen Jiping didn't argue, "Ah Weng let's go back together!" ”
"You go back first, I still have half an acre of land here."
Chen Jiping led the cow and continued to walk, first went to the second uncle's house to return the bow and arrows, and divided ten catties of tiger meat, and the second aunt saw that he still had a lot, so she did not give in.
When Chen Liu and Erya heard that he had brought back tiger meat, they reacted exactly the same as Chen Laohan.
"San Lang has a long ability, by the way, what are you doing with these two stones?"
"It's useful, you guys will soon know that La, sister, you can cook meat quickly!"
"You little gluttonous cat, let you eat a full meal today!"
"Don't move that pheasant, I'm useful!"
"You can exchange it for six cents, don't waste it!"
Chen Jiping ignored it, and after tying up the cow, he brought all kinds of condiments, two large pieces of rock salt, and the dying pheasant to the firewood house, which was his "activity base".
The rock salt is crushed with an axe that chops wood, then soaked in hot water and melted, after which a fire is made and filtered with activated carbon, which is not available and can be replaced with charcoal, which will have to wait until the tiger meat is stewed.
He slaughtered the pheasant with his hands, and seeing his smooth movements, Chen Erya was shocked, "San Lang, when did you become so sharp?" ”
"The monkey likes to eat, teach me a lot of cooking skills, and I will make it for you in the future!"
"This is too godly, and monkeys understand this?" Chen Erya blinked her eyes wide, and said in disbelief.
"If you don't talk about the monkeys, if the other monkeys were under the mountain, they would have been crushed to death!"
"You're right!"
"After eating, I'm going to use the stove!"
"You can use it, just don't go out of the water!"
Before dinner, the second uncle and Tie Zhu came and brought a few catties of bad wine to Chen Laohan, and then praised Chen Jiping and asked about the details of the tiger hunt, and Tie Zhu listened to the yearning on his face.
At dinner, Chen Liu called his second aunt, there was wine and meat, and the family had a reunion dinner.
Tiger meat is not very delicious, and there is no taste, Chen Jiping is interested in bad wine, tasted it, almost vomited, this thing has a light taste of wine, and it smells sour and unpleasant, which makes him can't help but rise up the idea of making wine again, but winemaking consumes too much food, and the food at home is barely enough to eat, so he can only talk about it later.
In the evening, he began to make salt, and the filtration effect of the silk cloth was not very good, and after several times, it was still slightly cloudy.
He crushed the prepared charcoal, wrapped it in several layers of silk cloth, filled the jar, and poured salt water into it.
When the charcoal was removed, the salt water was not too turbid, but it was stained with some black, so it was filtered twice with a clean silk cloth.
Seeing that the salt water had become much clearer, he began to boil the salt, and when a layer of fine white appeared in the clay pot, Chen Jiping showed a satisfied smile on his face.
Suddenly, a stream of dark air poured in from the top beam, making people feel extremely comfortable, better than the feeling of Sun Wukong's fairy breath spraying on his body.
He seemed to feel something, and stretched out his hand to summon the human emperor seal, and the original bronze seal appeared with a layer of gold at this time, and the dragon seemed to come to life, and was surrounded by the dark air current.
What's going on? Could it be that refining salt will increase merit?
