Chapter 9 Obtaining large quantities of table salt
Yuan Jing is also happy to see such a phenomenon. She's busy making bacon. Yuan Jing has been very busy these days, making the first batch of 1,200 catties of bacon, and Yuan Jing has made the second batch of 3,000 catties of bacon, and finally made enough rations for her to eat for 70 days.
Making bacon is manual work, and it takes Yuan Jing a lot of effort to carry the meat to the barbecue. During the baking of bacon, she has to constantly adjust the heat, and her activity these days is not small. However, in order to have a good winter, Yuan Jing also worked hard.
However, looking at so many roasted golden bacon in the storage room, Yuan Jing was satisfied again. This is the fruit of many days of labor.
When Yuan Jing counted the substances, Yuan Jing realized that she had used up all her salt to make these two batches of bacon.
In this beast world, salt is money. Yuan Jing's flesh really hurts.
The two batches of bacon used up the salt that her orc husband had saved, and also used up the first batch of salt she had made. used more than 120 catties of salt, it really hurt her heart.
Fortunately, there are still 51 baskets of salt fruits in the pantry. And her skills in making salt are still there, and if she works harder, the salt will come back.
In order to live a well-off life, the hard-working Yuan Jing started a long salt-making project.
The process of making salt seems simple, but it is not easy in fact, baking, filtering or anything is manual work, Yuan Jing kept lamenting while making salt, why is she so miserable. The original owner of the family and the female orcs here are basically five-fingered existences that do not touch the spring water, and they have to work tirelessly with a big belly every day.
In her previous life, she didn't do anything lacking in virtue, and when she wore this strange world, she started a hard life of working every day. I really don't know what kind of iniquity I have committed.
Yuan Jing felt bitter in her heart, and she couldn't say anything about her suffering.
But Yuan Jing only thinks about it occasionally. After all, if her cheap orc husband was here, she didn't know how to get along with that orc husband.
That's actually pretty good. She doesn't like people in the first place. Although she used to live with her family, her parents hated each other and would quarrel if they disagreed. So in fact, in the last life, what she enjoyed most was the time she spent alone. Watching TV and scrolling through the web in her room alone can give her a full sense of happiness. It was also under the influence of her parents that Yuan Jing became a member of celibacy.
Now Yuan Jing, although she has endless work every day, except for occasional complaints, Yuan Jing is also happy. Because the harder Yuan Jing worked, the greater the gains she had. Now she basically doesn't have to worry about supplies for the winter.
Time also flies, and the 51 baskets of salt fruits in the storage room were also made into fine salt of white flowers by Yuan Jing.
Now Yuan Jing really has a huge amount of property, nearly 400 catties of salt, and the tribe's inventory may not be so much.
Usually a three-striped beast can accumulate more than 20 catties of salt in a year, nearly 400 catties of salt, ordinary orcs can't think of it, even if it is the patriarch of the four-striped beast, I am afraid that there will not be more than 50 catties of salt.
Yuan Jing also knew the truth of her guilt. Although the people I meet now are all kind and good orcs, I'm afraid of what happens. Since ancient times, wealth has touched people's hearts.
So she started the hard work again. She dug a secret cellar in the same room of her bedroom to store the salt.
I don't know if I've been working too much lately, Yuan Jing always feels that her strength has increased a lot. I thought that digging the cellar would consume her boss's time, but she didn't expect that the cellar would be dug out by her in just one day. And the cellar she dug is not small, if you put salt alone, you can store at least 3,000 catties. Of course, salt itself is very heavy, and it doesn't take up much space.
Leaving some spare salt, and then hiding the remaining salt, Yuan Jing was finally relieved.
Recently, she has been working too much and is pregnant with cubs, so Yuan Jing plans to rest for a while.
Yuan Jing, who had lunch, walked around the clan to eat, and after a while, he met several orcs who were knocking melons. Some orcs even gave Yuan Jing some melon seeds. Yuan Jing also smiled and took it, and then expressed her gratitude. I heard some orcs say that their male orcs have saved thousands of catties of melon seeds. Yuan Jing also expressed envy.
I didn't think that in just a few days, these orcs would be able to collect those many melon seeds. Yuan Jing couldn't help but sigh in her heart, it was good to have male orcs at home as free labor, and she could have countless supplies at home, Yuan Jing had to say that she was a little sour.
After a while, Yuan Jing walked to the place where she had picked sunflowers before.
At this time, she was a little confused, didn't she say that everyone was collecting sunflowers? Why are the sunflowers here still the same as she saw before? There was no trace of orcs coming to pick them. It stands to reason that those orcs know very well where and what vegetation grows in the tribe, and there is no reason not to know that there is a small patch of sunflowers here.
After thinking about it, I can only think of one possibility, that is, the orcs in the clan specially left it for her.
The tip of her nose was suddenly a little sour, and Yuan Jing was a little moved. This beast world is really warm to her. There wasn't much intrigue and none of the disgusting ugliness seen in the previous life. She felt that the orcs here were like these sunflowers, facing the sun and giving warmth.
After packing up her emotions, Yuan Jing returned to the stone house, took the animal skin bag, walked to the sunflower field on the edge of the Black Canyon, and began to collect sunflower seeds.
It took some time for Yuan Jing to finish picking this small piece of sunflower with ease. It is estimated that there can be 300 catties of sunflower seeds.
Yuan Jing's strength is not small, but it is not so convenient to walk with a cub in her arms, and now she can lift up to 100 catties at a time.
These sunflower seeds are enough for her to make three trips.
Originally, Yuan Jing planned to take it back to her residence in three installments.
Huge, who had returned from going out to look for a genius treasure, happened to pass by here. helped Yuan Jing bring back these sunflower seeds. The weight of three hundred catties is like taking a dish for a three-striped beast, and it can be easily lifted.
Today, Huge is in a particularly good mood. He went to the dark forest to find a genius treasure for advancement, and he was just going to try his luck, but he didn't expect his luck to be so good, and he just entered the dark forest for a long time and found a longevity fruit that can increase the life span of female orcs by 10 years. Although the Shou Yuan Fruit is not an advanced genius earth treasure, the genius earth treasure that increases life span is even more precious. Just imagine who doesn't want to live for two more years, Shou Yuan Fruit is much more precious than an advanced genius earth treasure to a certain extent, and it is hard to find.
Unable to suppress the joy in his heart, Huge told Yuan Jing the legendary experience of how he was lucky to find Shou Yuanguo.
