After Wang Tian made the clay for salt filtration and added enough firewood to light it, he called Xiao Ling to come to the river to collect Houttuynia cordata, while Kuroko was seriously shaping a large vat from a broken basket.

Houttuynia cordata is the only vegetable with artificial value that Wang Tian has found in this world, and it is also a medicinal herb.

The rhizomes and leaves of Houttuynia cordata can be eaten and used as medicine at the same time. The main edible parts are young leaves and shoots and underground native rhizomes.

The young shoots and young leaves are edible for a shorter time. The harvest is usually concentrated between March, September and October every year. The underground rhizomes can be picked and eaten at any time of the year.

Legend has it that Goujian, the king of Yue, was a prisoner of the king of Wu, and vowed to make the Yue country strong. But in the first year of returning to China, there was a rare famine, and the people had no food to eat.

Gou Jian personally went up the mountain to look for edible wild vegetables and finally found it. As a result, the whole country of Yue relied on this small wild vegetable to get through the difficulties. Because this wild vegetable has a fishy smell, it was named Houttuynia cordata by Goujian.

Houttuynia cordata cold discharge, good at clearing lung heat, good at clearing bladder dampness and heat, has the effect of clearing heat and dampness, diuretic and drenching. It is also a natural and safe antibiotic, which helps to clear away heat and reduce inflammation, and is antiviral.

The reason why Wang Tian is more familiar with Houttuynia cordata is, of course, because of eating. In fact, he first came into contact with the rhizome of Houttuynia cordata, which is also called "folded ear root" or "cane root", because of its shape, like sugar cane and bamboo whip, showing section by section.

In most places in China, it is eaten raw and cold. Add a little salt and soy sauce, you can eat it directly, it tastes crispy, with a unique fishy smell, and then with the combination of seasonings, there is a unique rich fragrance. The mouth is fragrant and lingers for a long time. People with shortness of breath, tightness of breath and chest tightness are the best to eat.

Wang Tian planned to collect some more, the leaf buds were fried and eaten, and the roots were used for cold dressing. If it is cultivated exclusively as a vegetable, in fact, the leaf buds can be eaten all year round as long as they are picked at any time.

Houttuynia cordata loves water, and it is everywhere by the river, and from a distance, it has the feeling of aquatic water spinach. As long as there is enough water, his leaves and roots are very tender, and it is very suitable for consumption.

The two of them each collected a large basket of cane roots, tied a handful of fresh young shoots, and dragged a bunch of old vines used to make herbal tea, and returned to the gate of the tribe.

The final work of tying up the heads of the guns has begun, and on the right side of the entrance to the observation deck has been placed a row of tied horses, the top of which is majestic, and two rows of sharpened wooden sticks are tied to the outward side. It's like a porcupine stretched out.

As soon as the thing was placed in the tribe's cave/doorway, a rough air came over the face. It made Wang Tian feel like he was going to the cat's ear hole to inspect the war preparations.

When he walked past the second brother of King Kong, he stretched out his thumb to him, the second brother was like washed with water, and he was sweating profusely, and the weather was extremely dull today, and it seemed to be the rhythm of heavy rain.

Wang Tian began to beckon everyone to move the wild fruits and the food that had been dried before into the cave, and the pickled fish made today had already been put into the side of the cave kitchen at this moment because it used table salt and did not need to be dried immediately.

When Wang Tian cut all the cane roots into small pieces on the bamboo cutting board, the dark clouds in the sky gradually thickened, and the second brother's rejection of the horse was nearing the end.

Wang Tian let out a few hurried whistles in the direction of the brick factory, urging everyone to hurry back. It was already dark and scary, and it was the rhythm of the storm.

The rejection of the horse had been done, and everyone was waiting at the entrance of the observation deck, anxiously waiting for the return of the brick-making team, and it was dark like this. Even in later generations it is frightening, if to say in this primitive age.

But the people of the tribe who were waiting did not return to the cave first, and the anxious look on their faces made Wang Tian extremely moved.

The sense of belonging to this big family is getting stronger and stronger, and the future generations are already in the past that cannot be returned, and this group of lovely clansmen in front of them will accompany them for the rest of their lives.

In the expectant eyes of everyone, the leader and his party finally returned, and one of them wrapped a broad leaf in his hand with a piece of clay that was still hot. This is what the Son of Heaven needs, and it is precisely in order to retrieve the clay that everyone is waiting in the twilight when the storm is approaching, which makes Wang Tian extremely moved.

"Hurry up and enter the cave, it's going to rain heavily," Wang Tian urged.

The tribesmen watched as the folded horses bared their sharp fangs and turned outward, and the sense of security that rose in their hearts diluted the fear of the storm.

Facing the sunspot sweating profusely and holding clay in his hand, Wang Tian's heart faintly rose with a trace of guilt, what he said today may be too heavy, it shouldn't be.

He pointed to the puddle of water that had not yet been soaked in ashes, and asked him to wash and prepare for dinner.

The three soup pots in the cave are already boiling fish oil after the salt production is finished. Because there are already clay pots, now they are boiling soup in clay pots, and three large pots of boiled fish residue have been placed in front of the three soup pots, and the bursts of fragrance come to the face, making people appetize.

After scooping up all the fish residue, Wang Tian put salted fish in the boiling fish oil in the three soup pots. As soon as the fish is put into the pot, it seems to be boiling, and the whole soup pot bubbles, and after a while, the unique aroma of the fried food is heard.

Wang Tian asked people to use tongs made of bamboo to constantly turn the fish in the soup pot to prevent them from being fried.

The pot for fish residue is a round basket made of bamboo, and the bottom is woven from bamboo pieces like a bamboo mat. Although it will leak oil, before loading, it is filtered clean by Zhulao, so it is also suitable for use.

Wang Tian grabbed a handful of fine salt and sprinkled it evenly on top of the oil residue. After leaving it for a while, roll the oil residue up and down, then sprinkle a layer of salt and tumble again. Let the fine salt be evenly distributed on the surface of the oil residue.

The fish has been fried and placed in piles on a large dough basket, and the skin of the fish with the scales removed is fried until it is golden brown. The crispy surface of the fish is faintly visible and the tender meat underneath is appetizing.

Because it is cooked with pickled fish, there is no need to add additional salt, and all the fish is soaked and marinated in the puree made of fruit before entering the pot, and after the fish oil is fried at a high temperature, the crispy aroma reveals a hint of sweetness and sourness.

Strings of fish are being grilled over the campfire, and the grilled fish has not been marinated, so as to ensure the maximum deliciousness of the fish.

Because of the appearance of salt, Wang Tian also missed the barbecue in later generations. Since the appearance of the soup pot, the people of the original tribe seem to have changed their tastes, and they are more fond of soup and food.
