Chapter 488: The Great Leader 6

However, although his tongue was uncomfortable, Yan Shuangshuang's heart was in a burst of ecstasy, and after putting down the husks, he rushed over and began to pick these shriveled fruits! I don't even care if I will be pricked by the thorns on the vines.

Looking at Yan Shuangshuang's performance, Tie and Ben were a little surprised, if Tie is a twenty-four filial father in modern times, he doesn't care what Yan Shuangshuang wants to do, seeing Yan Shuangshuang desperately picking the fruit seems to like it very much, and this vine is full of thorns, Tie is afraid of piercing Yan Shuangshuang's little hand, so he immediately stepped forward to help pick the fruit.

Compared with iron, Ben thought a little more, he saw that Yan Shuangshuang was full of excitement after tasting a mouthful of fruit, and directly went up to pick the fruit wildly with his eyes shining, so he picked a fruit first, and then peeled off the skin and took a small bite!

Because of Yan Shuangshuang's performance before, Ben was very cautious, the bite he bit was smaller than Yan Shuangshuang, but it was useless, the domineering of the salt taste was revealed at this moment, Ben only felt that for a moment, the rich salty taste invaded his entire mouth and tongue.

The saliva in his mouth was even more irritated by salt, and Ben was salty, and his tears came out, but his eyes were shining, and he was reluctant to spit out the salt like Yan Shuangshuang, but took the husk filled with water and began to drink water, diluting the salty taste in his mouth little by little, and then swallowing all the salty water!

After drinking the water full of husks, he finally diluted the salty taste in his mouth, and Ben gave the fruit in his hand to the people who looked at him strangely, and said, "This is salt!" Then the excited Ben joined the fruit picking team!

After Ben shouted the sentence that this is salt, all the hunting team members who came out, including Tie Du, were stunned for a moment, and they reached out to the fruit and buckled a piece of pulp down and stuffed it directly into their mouths!

Then everyone was collectively salted into tears, but everyone, like Ben before, was reluctant to spit out the salt in their mouths, so they could only drink water to forcibly melt the salt and swallow it into their stomachs.

When everyone diluted the salty taste in their mouths with water, everyone went crazy, and went up to pick the fruit one by one, with ecstatic and excited expressions on everyone's faces!

It's hard not to be excited, this is salt! What is salt, for modern people, it may be said that salt is just a necessary condiment, but in this primitive society, salt is a good thing that can save lives, and it is extremely precious.

The first is the ability of salt to preserve food, and when there is a lot of meat, salt is used to marinate enough meat to keep it, and when it is extremely hot and cold, you don't have to worry about starving to death without food.

Even the human body must have salt intake, otherwise there will be a state of physical weakness, which is only sub-healthy for ordinary people who are not warriors, but it is fatal to the warriors of this world.

Now the people in the Li tribe can only use the method of drinking blood if they want to ingest salt, and in the story that the witch doctor Yu once told Yan Shuangshuang, the Li tribe also exchanged salt with the big tribes outside when it was brilliant.

At that time, the salt and food of the warriors of the Li tribe were sufficient, so the combat effectiveness of the warriors was very strong, and several large tribes around the shock did not dare to fight the idea of the Li tribe.

But since the fall of the Li tribe, there have been no other tribes to exchange materials for the Li tribe, because the Li tribe is too poor, and there are no resources to exchange with others, not to mention the incomparably precious salt.

If the Li tribe wants to use salt, they can only unite with several small tribes in the vicinity to form a team to go to the big tribes in the distance, and exchange a lot of meat for that little bit of salt in the mutual market of the big tribes.

And this little bit of precious salt in the tribe is kept by the witch doctor Rain, but the rain does not eat salt, these salts are specially used for people who are seriously injured and cannot be cured by the rain with magic power at one time to put some during the meal, so as to replenish their strength.

As for people who are not sick or injured, they don't know how many years they haven't tasted salt, and because Yan Shuangshuang was always sick and crooked, the rain specially gave the grass some salt, and asked the grass to put a little bit when Yan Shuangshuang ate, and the taste was almost the same as not putting it at all.

Who knew that such precious salt would be available at their doorstep! And it's such a magical way of being!

For many years, everyone thought that this fruit was inedible because it tasted unpalatable when it was full of juice and could not be swallowed.

No one thought about what it was like to taste the shriveled fruit, and as a result, such precious salt was left in the forest and no one cared about it, but they guarded the little salt that was exchanged for a large amount of jerky, and they were reluctant to eat or touch it.

While picking fruits, the people of the hunting team couldn't help but remember that in the past, they could often meet many small animals in this place, and most of these small animals came here to pick these fruits and take them away.

At that time, these people also said that these little animals have a really good appetite, and they can eat such unpalatable fruits, but now it seems that the people in the tribe are stupid, and the small animals of the people take this fruit to supplement salt.

In fact, there is a more obvious point that can prove the preciousness of this fruit, because Yan Shuangshuang does not come out of the cave, and these primitive people are simple-minded, so what everyone did not expect is that this thing bears a lot of fruit, and it is wrapped in a very tough peel, the peel is tough and not afraid of water, so this fruit will not be degraded and disappeared by water, and the salt itself can be preserved for a long time.

So since the salt fruit will not degrade and disappear, why does this vine bear fruit every year and disappear every year, and there is no accumulation on the ground? The simple answer is that the fruit was apparently taken away by the animals in the forest!

While everyone moved quickly but gently to pick the fruit without destroying the peel, they felt sorry for the salt fruit that had been taken away by the small animals before, thinking that those fruits had been eaten raw by the small animals, and the people of the hunting team felt distressed, it was really a waste.

The vines were thick and lush, and the vines were full of large and small salt fruits, which were now all dried and shriveled, and the huge baskets carried by all the people of the hunting party were full of salt fruits.

This basket is naturally the credit of Yan Shuangshuang, although Yan Shuangshuang was so sick that it was a luxury to leave the cave for a hundred meters, she still tried her best to do what she could.

For example, teach everyone to use bamboo tubes to cook water and boiled meat, and let children drink hot water to avoid getting sick, although there are only two children in the tribe, one of them is still her, a sick seedling who can't even walk, using wicker or vines to weave back baskets, back baskets, storage baskets, etc.
