Chapter 11: Salt in the Pit

However, this method is problematic because the batter will burn off.

"You can use a bamboo stick to set the stone out of the fire, and the stone is hot enough, it should be hot enough to make a batter." After Fu Xi tasted the biscuits, he was also hungry, so he suggested.

The thin bamboo branch was collected when it was used to make fences.

The bamboo branches are very tough, of course, much more difficult to obtain than wood, if it were not for the need to make fences, the silk people in the past, like other apes, would never think of picking bamboo.

"Yes, yes." Ahh agreed.

The two of them used this method to bake biscuits, and this method of using bamboo branches undoubtedly became the use of chopsticks.

It can be seen from this that the human race without fire will not use chopsticks, they will only eat with their hands, or use knives to cut meat, but they will not pick up anything.

And civilization is definitely driven by fire.

Therefore, from the fact that only Chinese people use chopsticks, it can be seen that civilization is only available to Chinese people.

On the same day, they began to bake, and when they felt that the biscuits were not cooked enough, they pushed the stones a little closer to the fire.

And this method, without a doubt, is absolutely useful.

Eating the baked biscuits and looking at the few pieces being baked, the two were very happy.

Fu Xi said as he ate, "It seems that there is a delicious taste of salt in the soil, which is similar to the sea salt exchanged from the wild people in the south." ”

But it is the wild people in the south, in contact with the sea for I don't know how many billions of years, it is easy to find the salt on the sea rock that is dried by the sun, for this reason, the rock and salt will use the same sound after this reason, therefore, salt since ancient times, is not a rare thing, but the salt in Chu is very rare, and the apes usually exchange the salt of the southern savages through tribal gatherings.

After all, savages are not ordinary beasts, they can complete general communication in bird language, so it can be said that compared to wild beasts, they are already extremely intelligent.

"I remember those potatoes were washed, how could there be mud?" Ahh

As for the ape-man will wash the potatoes before eating, this is because there may be bacteria or parasites in the dirty things and unclean meat, which is the common sense formed by the ape-man in the diet of hundreds of millions of years, knowing that eating unclean plants and meat, will have stomach aches and even worms.

That's why the apes don't eat indiscriminately.

"I put it in the hole, and I got it." Fu Xi said, and looked at a small pit on one side of the cave.

On the other side, it can shine on the sun and block the rain, but when the rain is heavy, it can blow in the rain, but the rain is not small.

And a large part of this main cave is natural, not dug by the Silk people, for this reason, that small pit has long existed.

For this reason, this small pit, under the sun, the water will often evaporate and dry, and when the rain is heavy, it will be filled with rainwater, and over time, the soil in the pit will become extremely salty, and even the edge of the pit will become salty.

Those potatoes were accidentally kicked by the clansmen and rolled into the pit.

After having a fire, the Silk people thought that the fire was enough to kill bacteria, so they didn't wash the potatoes anymore, but piled them directly to the fire, and at this moment, these potatoes were crushed and made into biscuits, and they had a salty taste.

"It seems that there is also a salty smell in the small puddles that are often dried out in the sun, which is brought by the rain...... Hey? I've heard that only the sea in the endless sea is salty? Ah, he was surprised again, and looked at the baked biscuit in a daze.

Zhang Jingtao thought of this, and suddenly found that the word 'salty' seemed to contain this civilization.

And Ah, after only staying for a second, her eyes lit up, and she vaguely understood something.

Because she saw the biscuits evaporating the water vapor.

She looked at the puddle again, and apparently understood why the water in the pit had been dried up, and no doubt that the water had turned into water vapor and flew up into the sky.

"Mmmm, it's just that the dirt is too dirty, maybe there are small insects that can't be seen, and it hurts to eat it, so it must be cooked." Fu Xi said.

The high priest once said that this was deliberately propagated by heretical elements in order to exaggerate the survivability of certain bacteria in order to characterize these bacteria as indestructible.

Even if it is a bacterium, it is just a cellular organism, how can it be dormant into a stone and not extinguished in high temperatures.

For this reason, the High Priest said, the heretics call the fake heat-resistant bacteria 'spontaneous.' That is, it can appear and exist without parents, without living environment, without eating, drinking, and Lazar, and it is extremely magical.

In fact, it's safe to eat any meat, as long as it's cooked enough.

And fire can kill any living thing, which all beasts understand, and the savages know very well that fire can burn any living thing into a pile of charred ashes.

Of course, in various cooking methods, baking, roasting, and cooking, it is very difficult to cook the inside of the food, and the civilization information contained in the literal meaning of these words is also roughly recorded in the "Privy Council".

Among them, baking, according to the literal meaning of the food civilization, is heated at a temperature formed by the common formation of various fire points, which is characterized by dryness and crispness.

Roasting, then wrapping the food with zongzi leaves and lotus leaves, etc., and then wrapping the soil and burning it in the fire, the original characteristic is that it is all tender, but, by extension, Ah Ha will be close to the fire and the way of heating, are called roasted, for this reason, the characteristics of roasting, it has become charred on the outside and tender on the inside.

Cooking, is the meaning of teriyaki, the food hangs farther away from the fire, more indirect than baking, is cooking, and this kind of teriyaki, it takes a long time to bake the inside of the food, the advantage is that the surface will not be burnt, the skin is tender and flavorful.

He said, "Yes, it seems that we can eat more." ”

Fu Xi said: "Mmmm, it's just that the soil is not very comfortable to eat in the mouth." ”

Ah He thought for a while and said: "When the ape people of the southern region use salt, they often soak the salt in water, which imitates seawater, but it is different from seawater, and there is no astringency of seawater, and then they use salt water to soak food, and we can also do this, put the salty soil in the water to get salt water." ”

And Ah will talk to Mo because she knows how to use salt.

Because the ape-people can occasionally exchange food for salt in the south during tribal gatherings, which is the circulation of goods caused by layers of staggered gatherings, for this reason, the silk people have exchanged stone knives for sea salt.

"Hmm." Fu Xi nodded, "Salt water can also kill bugs." ”

To sterilize, in addition to cooking, pickling is indeed a good way.

The savages of the south often marinated meat, only when they wanted to eat meat, they soaked the meat in clean water to remove most of the salty taste, for this reason, they found that they could marinate insects, so although they did not know how to use fire, they often used the pickling method to kill insects because of the sea and hunting.
