Chapter Seventy-Nine: Exposed
Early in the morning, Romir was bustling with activity.
Except for a few squads that went out hunting, the rest of the men, women, and children gathered in the square.
There are already several earthen ovens in the square, about half a person high, and all the meat roasted in them has been hunted in the past few days.
Men, women, and children all stood guard in the square, but they did not look at the earthen oven, which had been fresh enough for the past two days.
Instead, everyone was curious to gather around the other place, where Lian Yue was taking Nana and Meimi to build an earthen kiln with stones for smoking meat.
Yes, after two processes of curing and air drying, our bacon can finally start smoking.
Although there are also bacon that don't need to be smoked, Lian Yue still prefers the kind that her mother taught her to make in her previous life, which has a special flavor after smoking.
In the past life, many people used to smoke with chaff, or directly with rice, and some with sawn foam from wood. But in Lianyue's hometown, more people use cypress branches and leaves to smoke bacon! The bacon smoked with cypress leaves has a faint fragrance, and the color is very good-looking, unlike other materials that are smoked black!
Taking advantage of the time of pickling and drying, Lian Yue also went to the forest to look for it, not to mention, it really made her find a tree that was very similar to the cypress, both in terms of appearance and the smell after being lit. The only difference is that the trees here are so big, they are almost a giant, five times the size of their Blue Star counterpart, and they bear raspberry-like fruit on top.
This made Lian Yue, who had just seen this tree, almost didn't dare to admit it, after all, when did you see a cypress tree grow such fruit, this is not good at all.
Hang the meat one by one, Lian Yue instructed Nana to start a fire, there is no chaff, sawdust, rice or anything here, so use the branches of ordinary barbecue to light the fire, Lian Yue piled up some freshly picked cypress leaves on it, and even, Lian Yue also threw some peels into the fire, the smell is similar to orange peel, quite fragrant.
In this way, the fire is burned below, the smoke is raised above, and the hanging meat is enclosed in the stove and smoked little by little.
Within a quarter of an hour, the meat began to turn yellow, the water dried up, and a unique and rich aroma of meat wafted out, tempting the surrounding men, women and children to twitch their noses and swallow unconsciously.
"It smells so good!" Nana and Memi sniffed and sighed in unison.
On the side, the little cubs who had been playing and frolicking before had already stopped, just like they had been trained in the circus, and An An squatted in a row, like himself coming to the stove.
"Don't worry, you can smoke it for a while." Lian Yue turned her head and smiled comfortingly.
Unexpectedly, everyone's eyes were more expectant, and they didn't dare to look away for a moment, for fear that if they didn't pay attention, the things would be eaten by others.
Laughing twice, Lian Yue looked at King Meow, he was the most active, and he stood upright at first, but later saw Lian Yue say, and he was restless, a flutter, and climbed into its exclusive position - Lian Yue's hood.
......
Salt mountains, potholes, everywhere is the sound of mining knocking one after another.
Dopp followed the large army and once again came to Salt Mountain.
Standing at the door of the pit, looking at the space illuminated by torches, an indescribable fear rose in his heart.
Especially, when he looked into the depths, the dark tunnels hidden in the shadows reminded him of the days when he was trapped underground in the dark.
As soon as his steps retreated, the hand holding the chisel clenched subconsciously, and Dopp felt the urge to escape.
"Hey!" Talker walked over and patted him on the shoulder, causing him to come to his senses.
"What's wrong with you? Dopp. ”
His mind was still a little abrupt, and Dopp subconsciously shook his head, only to suddenly realize what Doler had asked just now.
Duoliao was more thoughtful, didn't say anything, just specially called two people and stood in the corner of the pit to dig.
"Stop!" Duoliao suddenly stretched out his hand to stop and motioned for the two to stop.
In the face of the surprise of the two, Duoliao didn't explain much, pricked up his ears, and listened.
Seeing this, the two of them also decisively put down the things in their hands, and imitated him as if they were like him, lying on the side of the pit wall, and listened attentively.
For a long time, the two of them, who didn't hear any sound, couldn't help but glance at each other suspiciously.
Just as the two of them relaxed their vigilance, a strange sound came from outside the pit, and the two were about to make a sound, but they saw that Duoliao had quickly flown out and disappeared at the mouth of the pit.
"Chase!" glanced at each other, and the two hit it off.
......
"Roar~"
The head horns of the majestic scaly beast were pushed hard, and the huge impact force knocked the long-haired beast in front of it out and smashed it heavily on the ground.
The hairy beast rolled in a circle, its limbs strained, and quickly stood up again, its back arched, and it grinned at the scaly beast.
In this reaction, the scaly beast was dissatisfied, and its center of gravity moved forward, waving its fists and pounced again.
Flicking his fists, the scales on the back of his hands churning, shimmering in the sporadic sunlight. The hairy beast is also very fast, using all fours to weave up and down the forest.
After a few more rounds, the two beasts kept chasing up and down in the jungle, fighting, and constantly changing their respective human states to borrow power.
"Bang" was another loud bang, and the hairy beast was finally invincible, and it slammed down from the trunk of the tree during the fight, and its back hit the ground, almost unable to move.
"Roar~" The scaly orc's eyes were split, he raised his arms and roared, and slammed his body into the long-haired beast with his big steps.
"Wow~~" The hairy beast let out a terrible roar, its arm was torn apart, and the howl was interrupted for a while, and then it was extremely high-pitched, and it could be heard from afar.
Dopp and Dole heard the terrible roar of the beast in the distance, determined their position, and immediately turned into beast form, their feet erect, full of bounce power, and with the support of their powerful arms, they quickly jumped and shuttled between the trees.
"Let go of me!" A yellow-skinned, long-haired orc was crushed to the ground by Duoliao's neck, writhing and shouting loudly from time to time.
When Dopp and Dole followed, they saw this as they saw it.
"Suosuo?" Glancing at the yellow-skinned, long-haired orc, Dole Fox asked.
"Say! What the hell are you doing in the territory of the Monte tribes? Duoliao ignored his struggles, cut his hands back, clasped them together, and pressed his knees even harder, so that he could not move, and could only let out a muffled scream.
"I, I want to ask you what you're doing! Lao Tzu (synonym of orc) didn't do anything, you chased and fought! The yellow-skinned long-haired orc endured the discomfort of being suppressed, twisted his head and scolded angrily.
"Phew! Be honest! Say, "Who commanded you to come to Salt Mountain?" Duoliao gave him a free hand and gave him a slap on the head, and subconsciously, the face of a strange woman with a gray flutter appeared in his mind.
"Honestly, hurry up and explain! Otherwise, you don't want to get out of here alive! Dole squatted down, followed the example of Duoliao, and viciously knocked the yellow-skinned long-haired orc's head, and said.
Dopp only looked at the soot orc, but did not speak.
"How else can I explain to you! Lao Tzu just drilled a hole with the prey, and before he could do anything, he was chased and beaten by you! Feeling that the pressure exerted by Duoliao on his body was a little less, the orc craned his neck and shouted in a thick voice, looking at it like that, very angry.
"What prey?" Duoliao is still very calm.
"What prey? ... Lao Tzu chased a black dolphin cub and ran over! Wow! I'm afraid you didn't swallow Lao Tzu's black dolphin cub and want to pit Lao Tzu! The yellow-skinned shuttle orc's eyes twitched twice, and his voice suddenly rose up, and he turned around and began to curse.
Dole, who was squatting beside him, didn't react for a while, and was so frightened that he shuddered and fell to the ground, but fortunately Dopp reacted quickly and immediately dodged away, so that he was not implicated.
"What a black dolphin cub, you shuttle beast! Full of nonsense! Doler got up, angry enough to slap him again.
"I'll you! You Monte orcs are kind on the surface, but behind the scenes, you snatch other people's prey! More shameless than Lao Tzu! Naturally, the Suosuo orc was not convinced, and began to struggle violently after being slapped violently.
Duoliao wanted to suppress and pay attention to Doler's movements, and if he didn't check for a while, he actually let the Suosuo orc struggle, and he was about to smash Dorler with a pounce.
He tensed his body and tried to stop his movements, but unexpectedly, the shuttle orc twisted his body with great dexterity, turned sharply, and turned into a beast and jumped into the jungle with a tree vine.
Good fellow, this shuttle orc actually cheated and ran away!
