Chapter Fifty-Eight: Sprinkle Some Salt (Ask for Recommendation Votes)

If the ginseng winner in front of him is not a chieftain, but a priest, then all the problems can be solved.

It also explains the strange decoration inside and outside the house, the special paint on his body, and the strange feather headdress.

As the wisest man in a tribe, the priest is by no means as powerful as the leader of the tribe, after all, he is only a supporting role as a ruling instrument of the chief.

He may be able to work less and eat more, but he will definitely not be favored by many women, after all, there is still a leader, and as a subordinate, he can only dream.

Guo Sen has an assumption.

If this priest suddenly said one day that eating meat could easily lead to the destruction of the tribe, and many people happened to die inexplicably, the people of the ignorant primitive tribe would panic and begin to believe his nonsense, and in order not to die, they would have to eat vegetables and fruits.

He would also play tricks to continue to cement his claims and convince the people of the tribe.

It may be that there is really something in the vegetables and fruits that contains vitamins, starches, proteins, etc., which makes everyone's body fatter and better, and the people in the tribe don't want to eat meat even more.

No one did hunting or anything, but instead developed farming in a decent way, and everyone ate vegetables and fruits, isn't it beautiful?

But there are always people who dream about such things as meat.

After all, they are primitives and cannot effectively control their premonitions.

The priests would take advantage of this and secretly hunt some animals, secretly make them into jerky, and then use them to bewitch the female primitives.

Of course, he could say to the outside that the reason for the strange noise in the room was to pray that the crops in the field would grow more vigorously. And for the sake of jerky, female primitives will also keep such secrets and will never tell them.

This is a so-called closed loop.

If this person is really a priest

Guo Sen shifted his gaze and searched the tribe again, only to find that in the direction closest to the tribe, there was indeed a building that was smaller than the big house in the center of the tribe. The building was even more grand than the one, and there were two guards with stone spears standing in the doorway.

Guo Sen saw that in the center of the room, there was a big fat man lying in the haystack with vegetables and fruits in his mouth, talking to a primitive man kneeling on the ground next to him.

Could it be ...... This is the chief?

Guo Sen's mind moved, and their voices followed.

"Chief, we are getting more and more numerous, but there is not enough food, and the fruits and vegetables in those fields are no longer enough to meet our needs...... "The kneeling man said to the big fat man.

Guo Sen nodded in his heart, sure enough, this big fat man is the leader.

So, is that a priest or not?

"It's right to open up more fields and grow more food." The leader drank the fruit and vegetables with a satisfied face, and did not seem to think that it was a big deal.

"With all due respect, we shouldn't start hunting again and give ...... too many prey."

"Didn't the witch doctor show us what a terrible result it would be if we went to eat meat! You forgot? Suddenly, the leader threw the bowl in his hand to the ground and shattered it.

"This ......" the subordinate lowered his head and stopped talking.

"The flesh contains horrible bugs and miasma that can kill us! Have you forgotten that after we ate the meat, more than a dozen of our subordinates died?! ”

"The subordinates understand, they will never mention eating meat again in the future, please calm the anger."

"Find more people and open up a few more fields with tools!" With a wave of the leader's fat hand, the subordinate frowned and turned around and ran out, as if to convey the mission.

Guo Sen also understood that the person he saw before was not a priest, but a witch doctor.

And this human tribe, as he suspected, had a food poisoning incident.

The terrifying insects in the leader's mouth are probably parasites hidden in animal flesh, and the "miasma of death" is probably the spoiled bacteria and viruses contained in spoiled meat.

It seems that these humans did not process meat with fire as if it were cooking.

Speaking of which, the witch doctor's jerky looks like it's been cooked or grilled.

The witch doctor has a higher level of intelligence than everyone else in the tribe, and uses this wisdom to play other primitives around.

Looking at it now, it's really similar to what I thought.

The reason why these primitive people don't eat meat is not because they don't want to eat it, but because they don't dare to eat it.

I'm afraid that after eating it, I will get sick and die directly, just like the witch doctor said.

As for the women who were with the witch doctor, I am afraid that they willingly became the playthings of the witch doctor after eating meat that would not get sick and was better than the original.

The matter was almost understood, and Guo Sen also fell into deep thought.

It may not be so easy to get primitive people who have rejected meat for many years to accept this again, and if it is forced, it may have the opposite effect.

Kill the witch doctor directly?

I'm afraid that just won't solve the underlying problem.

Control the leader and let him call everyone to eat together?

This is not good, in case the witch doctor jumps out of the obstacle, coupled with the rebellious psychology of primitive people, maybe this big fat man will be pushed down.

So, what to do?

Guo Sen suddenly remembered a sentence.

To conquer a person, one must first conquer his stomach.

The reason why meat is not accepted is because the meat eaten before is raw, even smelly, and after eating it, you will have stomach problems or even die directly.

Simple barbecue or boiled meat, Guo Sen didn't think it would make them simply accept it, after all, the taste Guo Sen didn't think it was good.

The smell of blood is very strong, and there is no taste of saltiness at all, which is a very failed food for Guo Sen's pursuit of meat.

What if you make delicious meat that primitive people can't eat and have to eat?

But if you want to make delicious food, you need a lot of things.

This tribe does not have oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, chili peppercorns, and other spices on the other side of the earth, nor does it have more cooking tools, Guo Sen can actually not do much.

However, it only takes a simple savory taste to cook the ultimate deliciousness.

Salt is a very good thing, and Guo Sen explored all the formations and caves within a few hundred kilometers of the vicinity.

Luckily, a shallow burrow not far from the tribe contained a large amount of rock salt.

There are animals near the tribe, there is also salt, and the rest of the work seems to be able to push the boat along the water.

However, Guo Sen still felt that it seemed necessary to add a spoonful of salt to the peaceful life of these primitive people.
