Chapter 160: Cured bacon
The food for this hunt is enough for everyone to eat for several days, so that the problem of food shortage can also be alleviated.
After dinner in the evening, Dalei came, and this time Dalei came to discuss and ask questions.
"Rest assured, I remember you said before that salt pickles food and keeps it for a long time"? As soon as Darley entered the cave, he asked straight to the point.
"Yes, as long as the food is properly preserved with salt, it can be stored for a long time without spoiling" This, Anxin said to Dalei a long time ago, but it was summer at that time, and the weather was too hot at that time to be suitable for curing meat. Moreover, there was an abundance of prey at that time, and as long as you worked hard to guard the hunt every day, food was not in short supply. So Anxin was just talking about it at that time, and it was not implemented.
However, it is already autumn, and it is the best time to store winter food.
Animals are also fat and strong, whether it is the weather or other factors, it is best to store food now.
"Then can you teach everyone how to preserve food" As for the method that Anxin said, they have not tried it, and they don't know, and they don't know how to store it to better preserve food. If peace of mind can teach everyone, then everyone can also avoid a lot of detours.
"Of course, Uncle Dare, when are you going to start pickling" It is not difficult to marinate food, like some places in the north, a large amount of bacon will start to be marinated in autumn or winter, and these bacon will not spoil even if it is kept for a whole year or many years.
"Is it okay tomorrow"? There are a lot of prey they brought back today, and the extra can be pickled and preserved.
"Yes, no problem" to this, I agreed with peace of mind.
It's just that pickling requires a lot of salt, and I don't know how much salt is left in the tribe, remember last time, the salt they brought back was not a lot, and after how long the tribe ate it, there shouldn't be much left, right? The most important thing in curing bacon is salt, if the salt is not enough, the meat will not last long.
In this regard, Anxin was still a little worried, however, before Anxin could ask, Dalei had already begun to explain the task to Yao.
"Yao, tomorrow you take everyone to get more salt back" I heard Anxin last time that a lot of salt is needed for pickling, and now there is not much left of the tribe, whether it is for pickling or for the future needs of the tribe, it is necessary to get a lot of salt back.
As for where the salt is, only a few of them know, but that place is too dangerous, there are often wild beasts infested, let others lead the team, Dare is not very relieved.
And Yao's strength has increased greatly now, and letting Yao lead the team is the best choice.
"Okay" Yao nodded and agreed.
"Bring more people tomorrow, that place is very dangerous, pay attention to safety, come back safely" Darret paused, but still couldn't help but admonish, he still remembers the situation last time until now. How dangerous the situation was at that time, and now that he thinks about it, he still sweats for the situation at that time.
Although Yao's strength has become very strong now, he still can't help but worry.
"I will, don't worry" Sensing Dalei's uneasiness, Yao assured with some comfort.
In order to reassure his family, this time he will not only come back safely, but also let everyone who went with him come back safely.
The next morning, after breakfast, it was time to set off, looking at Yao who was leaving, and he was relieved to stop talking several times.
In fact, it was not only Dalei who was worried, she was also worried, what happened last time, she was at the scene, and now she recalls it, as if it was yesterday, it is still so clearly engraved in her mind.
Last night, I knew that Yao was going to the salt mine today, and I never lost sleep at ease, and I couldn't sleep all night, just worried that something would happen.
Looking at the peace of mind that was written on his face and was about to pretend to be fine, Yao, who was about to leave, walked a few steps, turned back quickly, and hugged the peace of mind that was looking at him.
"Don't worry, I'll come back safely, for you, for the tribe, I won't allow myself to have anything, stay in the tribe obediently, and wait for me to come back" gave Anxin a guarantee, kissed Anxin's forehead, and Yao strode away.
He was worried that if he didn't leave, he couldn't help but not want to leave, and such a fragile peace of mind really made him feel distressed.
Many of the people I brought this time were from their team. We often cooperate with each other, and we are very familiar with each other. Two of them were there last time, Glenn and Dary, and a group of ten people set off in such a majestic way.
An An stayed standing outside the cave until he couldn't see Yao's figure, and An An withdrew his gaze. To distract himself, Anxin followed Darley and Millie to the cave where the food was stored.
When they arrived, the cave was already full of people, and everyone came to watch and learn, so when they saw Anxin, everyone stared at Anxin with excitement on their faces.
This kind of gaze has been going through many times in the past few months, and Anxin has begun to get used to it, and now Anxin has begun to be able to turn a blind eye to such a gaze.
After saying a few polite words, Anxin directly devoted himself to the process of marinating bacon, demonstrated and explained several times, and everyone began to slowly find the trick and make bacon.
In this way, Anxin almost kept "soaking" in the cave all the day, marinating bacon with everyone.
