Chapter 94: Grain Storage
After they disemboweled the fish, Mo Jiujiu found that the fish was similar to crucian carp meat, suitable for steaming and eating, but there were no soy sauce seasonings here, and there would be no taste when steamed, so let everyone continue to stew.
Anyway, after the tribe found out the ginger and chili fruit, the females dug up a lot of ginger and chili fruit when they went out, and the chili fruit was also available after drying, which was very convenient.
Even ginger needs to be buried with sand for a long time, which is not a problem, there is also a sea area in the south of the Xitu tribe, a large area of the beach or something, not afraid of no sand.
As for the turtle shells for cooking food, the people of the Xitu tribe also went to the beach to pick them up, but the number was not much, and everyone used the pot together, according to statistics, so far, there are only about 100 turtle shell pots in the tribe.
But the turtle shell is so big, if you don't pick your mouth, it is no problem to cook a turtle shell for more than a dozen people to eat.
"Little witch doctor, I haven't finished eating the food for the past two days, or today's fish will start to get the preserved fish you said?"
"It's okay too!"
Mo Jiujiu thought about the size of his own pot, then looked at the fish, made a gesture, let them divide it into a palm-sized one, cut it and clean it, and then mentioned who was heating it in the pot before their house's cauldron, and then put bamboo pieces on it to steam the fish sticks, and take it out to dry when it was steamed.
Strings of fish sticks are hung on the drying wood, which is a unique sight.
Hey, there's no garlic, otherwise it will be more fragrant and delicious when pickled.
After another day of drying, Mo Jiujiu taught everyone to cut large and small pieces, and then marinate them overnight with shredded ginger, chili pepper and a little oil in salt water.
The next day, when we dried the fish again, we found that the fish smelled fragrant, and there was an urge to eat it now!
"Little witch doctor, can this fish be eaten?"
"You can taste the taste, and then continue to dry it for two or three days, and then put it away and store it when the fish is hard, and you can store it for at least a month if there is no snow."
I heard that I could taste it, and several orcs couldn't help but eat a small piece, spicy, well, unprecedented taste.
It's different from boiled fish, so it's delicious!
"Wow, it's delicious!"
"There's one less spice, or it's more delicious."
"What kind of spice, little witch doctor, you say, let's go to the mountains to find it."
Mo Jiujiu thought that he had to find out, the effect of garlic was too great in cooking, and the fragrance was indispensable.
So he drew the garlic on a white stone and the whole plant, "This plant has been painted on the stone for a few days, everyone remembers it, and when they see similar leaves, they dig it up, and if the roots are like this, bring it back to me to see." ”
"Okay, don't worry, little witch doctor, we will definitely work hard."
The females who followed the preserved fish turned around and told the other females that if they went up the mountain tomorrow, they would take a look at the white stone painting plant in the little witch doctor's house, and find it back to make food for the little witch doctor.
As soon as they heard the delicious food, everyone was motivated, and they went back and forth more than a dozen times, and the clansmen who were going out tomorrow came to the gate of Mo Jiujiu to take a look at the painting of the big stone.
"Hey, night owl, this Xitu tribe is so enthusiastic! I think it's a good place to live. ”
The Night Stalker smiled, "If you like, you can do it." ”
The people of the Xitu tribe are because they regard the little female as a divine envoy, so they will listen to her and do things like this, and if you change people, you probably won't have this treatment.
But he will not say this, lest the little female be dumbfounded.
The news of the divine envoy was released after he discussed it with Tianqing, anyway, it won't be long to conceal it, rather than being used against Jiujiu in the future, it is better for them to use it to accumulate prestige for Jiujiu first.
It is very important for the people of the Xitu tribe to develop a small female, and if others come to rob it, they want to snatch the benefits.
Even if they come up with a way to ruin the little female's reputation, it will make the people think that they are deliberately sending bad news, and they want them to abandon the little witch doctor and join them.
So far, the results are very good.
As a result, the night owl is more wary of the male Azure by three points.
I always feel that the other party is too smart, and it seems that I am used to seeing a lot of insidious and cunning methods, so I can think of so many ways to solve the problem.
……
Mo Jiujiu naturally didn't know about the night owl's worries, and she felt a sense of accomplishment when she watched the people of the Xitu tribe work happily because of the preserved fish.
Especially in the next few days, the people of the Xitu tribe were in the daily routine of killing fish and preserving fish, which made her speechless.
Fortunately, they relied on the sea and the big river, and the fish used to eat little, but now there are really a lot of big fish for them to kill.
The preserved fish is too much, but there are new problems, and there is no container for preservation!
Mo Jiujiu looked at the fish pieces in the bamboo dustpan and was also worried, this is not a container with porcelain jars.
Is it with wooden barrels?
"Hey, night owl, hurry up and make some big wooden barrels to store food, don't carry them, if you want to do this, you can look at what I painted."
Mo Jiujiu drew a wooden barrel without a handle, but there were several protrusions on the edge of the barrel that were easy to lift.
"It's easy, you can do it when you find wood."
"Okay, you've worked so you."
Mo Jiujiu thought about using wooden planks to splice wooden barrels, which would save materials than digging wooden barrels directly with a large tree trunk.
If the barrel is not oily, it will leak, but it is no problem to store dry food.
Mo Jiujiu proposed that the night owl be spliced into wooden barrels in plates, and the bottom of each wooden board should be left neatly with the concave and convex places of the bottom plate, and when the wooden barrels are spliced, the bottom plate will be stuck in those concave and convex places and will not fall off the bottom.
Hee-hee, she's so smart!
The periphery is fixed directly with toughness and non-corrosive rattan, which is surrounded and fixed inside and outside, and it is definitely possible to make a container for dry food.
Thinking of the big wooden barrel or something, Mo Jiujiu couldn't help but think of the bath barrel.
"Night owl, if you don't make it that big, it's about the same size as our bucket, if it's done well, let's find a way to get a bath bucket, okay?"
"Okay."
The barrel is original, and the plank naturally needs a certain curvature, which is a little more troublesome than other cabinets or something.
But the night owl still brought a group of people with good craftsmanship to make a dozen barrels that day.
After washing, it was used to fill the preserved fish on the same day, and this time only three barrels were filled.
After having the container, Mo Jiujiu began to ask the tribesmen to start catching more fish and coming back to make preserved fish for storage.
The orcs of the entire Xitu tribe were busy, going their separate ways.
The one who hunts continues to hunt, the one who catches the fishing, the one who prepares to do the house again next year continues to lay the foundation, and the manual work continues.
In short, not many people are really idle.
In addition to instructing the night owl to make furniture, Mo Jiujiu also instructed everyone to make preserved fish and bacon or something, and at the same time identified some fresh crops that everyone brought back when they went to the mountains to collect wild fruits, and saw if they could be used.
