【Chapter 26】Storing Food
Just when Henry brought the big hairy mouth over, Wang Xiaotie finally couldn't pretend anymore and shouted, "Okay!" I'm all right! Then he quickly rolled and crawled away from the scene of the crime. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Nima, it's dangerous! In just a few seconds, Lao Tzu's first kiss was about to be taken away by an American gorilla! Luckily, I reacted quickly. Wang Xiaotie sat on the side, patting his pounding heart with palpitations. The moment Henry appeared, Wang Xiaotie felt that something was wrong, but he didn't get up immediately because of his illusions, in case Laura gave him artificial respiration!
Looking at the incredible eyes of Henry and Laura, especially Laura's slightly puzzled expression, Wang Xiaotie realized that he seemed to have failed his performance! He rolled his black eyes, trying to find himself a step down.
"Oops~ I'm so hungry! Laura, I'm going to starve to death! "So far, Wang Xiaotie has not done anything, and he can only continue to act, hoping to win back a glimmer of life.
Fortunately, Laura was innocent, and she was very worried in her heart, and when she heard Wang Xiaotie's call, she no longer thought about it, and immediately picked up the bowl in a hurry and ran to the bonfire to make porridge for Wang Xiaotie!
Henry was still a little worried and came to Wang Xiaotie's side, "Boss, are you okay?" ”
Wang Xiaotie couldn't wait to swallow this big animal from the American football team alive at this time, how could he give him a good face. "Don't call me boss, I think from now on, you will be my boss!" With a stinky face, Wang Xiaotie no longer bothered with Henry.
Henry suffered a nameless fire, and suddenly felt so wronged. But after thinking about it, maybe his boss is really sick and he is naturally in a bad mood, so let him be quiet.
Thinking of this, Henry picked up the stone knife from the stone slab, turned and burrowed into the jungle again.
Looking at the smart watch, it was close to half past eleven, and the rest of the time was absolutely impossible to show his beast skills again, Wang Xiaotie could only look up to the sky and sigh, and reluctantly gave up this great opportunity.
It was not until after 1 o'clock that the large army returned to the camp. He brought five clay pots filled with fresh water, a large number of sweet potatoes, and more than a dozen bamboos.
As the captain, Wang Xiaotie was naturally not idle, and after drinking sweet potato porridge, he took Laura to the beach. Wang Xiaotie was in charge of picking oysters down the rocks, and Laura took Wang Xiaotie's pottery rake to look for clams on the beach.
At the seaside, oysters are the most common and best source of protein, but they are also often the most susceptible to illness. If you don't have fire, you should still think carefully about whether you want to eat them. Of course, in the presence of fire, it takes a bit of physical effort to eat oysters, that is, to break open their thick shells with stones.
After lunch, everyone started their lunch break. No one wants to brave the heat of the sun. When fresh water is plentiful, there is no major problem. If there is a lack of fresh water, the body will sweat a lot and cause rapid dehydration, and if it cannot be replenished immediately, it will cause collapse and even be life-threatening.
……
In the afternoon, almost all of them did not leave the vicinity of the camp again. The men were sent to the seashore in search of meat, while the women were in the camp to cut sweet potato slices with stone knives and sharp shells.
That's not good in the summer, especially by the sea. The hot air carries a lot of moisture, coupled with the moisture in the food itself, such an environment is simply a paradise for bacteria to survive and multiply. (Knowledge: The reproduction rate of bacteria is amazing, and a rancid bacterium can "give birth" to 200 million children in a day and night.) Bacteria, like other organisms, want to eat, and hundreds of millions of bacteria declare war on food together, causing the fat, starch, and protein in the food to quickly decompose and deteriorate, producing a large number of harmful substances, and the food will emit a bad smell. If a person eats rotten food, he will get sick. )
In order not to waste the food that everyone has worked so hard to collect, all the sweet potatoes that cannot be eaten are sliced and simply dried and dehydrated. Then put it uniformly in a cool place, so that the shelf life will be greatly extended. But inevitably, the taste will become different from before, and it may even be so unpalatable that you can't swallow it.
In order to survive in the wild, it is necessary to prepare and store food if the most basic living conditions can be met. You can't guarantee that the sun will shine and the wind will be beautiful every day, and in case of heavy wind and rain, you can safely hide in the camp and have no worries about food and clothing.
Secondly, if you need to travel far away, bringing these prepared dry food in advance will definitely save you a lot of precious time.
Not only will the sweet potatoes be dried and stored, but the protein obtained in the future will be stored by Wang Xiaotie in addition to the most basic needs of this group of people. Meat is one of the more difficult foods to obtain, and the best way to do it is to store it by smoking, just like bacon.
Smoking is a method that can preserve food for a longer period of time than simple dehydration. It's also fairly simple to operate, just roast the meat on top of the smoke coming from the fire. Don't grill it over a fire, unless you want to eat it right away.
But this method is not without its drawbacks, smoked meat can not be eaten more, let alone cancer patients. Because toxic substances can accumulate in the body, metabolism and excretion are not complete, and it will affect people's health for a long time. (Knowledge: In the process of making smoked meat, due to the effect of smoke and salting, toxic substances such as nitrite and benzoratio are produced, and they will be polluted by polycyclic aromatic compounds and formaldehyde.) Nitrite is more likely to cause food poisoning. Ingestion of 0.3~0.5 grams of nitrite can cause poisoning, and 3 grams can lead to death)
Then again, what is pure natural and pollution-free in human life today? Even the air in this world is polluted, who dares to say that they are eating absolutely healthy food? Maybe this kind of thing really won't appear until the legendary space cultivation technology matures.
The truth that Wang Xiaotie believes in the most is an old saying in China: life and death have fate, and wealth is in the sky. Sometimes if you want to live freely, don't worry so much! This is also why for so many years, Wang Xiaotie's life has almost been occupied by junk food such as instant noodles.
Although there is little life left now, or it can be said that it is in danger, Wang Xiaotie can proudly say that he did not die of eating instant noodles, but was killed by the bastard who gave birth to a son and had no eyes!
If he can really return to the yang world, he will definitely find the murderer and beat him hard! No, it's too cheap to beat that road killer, Lao Tzu wants to lock him up, three times a day, until he doesn't dare to touch the car anymore!
