Chapter 26 Natural Flavors
"Are the other three tribes stationed around here?"
Hearing this, Lin Luo turned his head to Yong and asked.
Although he had already known before, the other three tribes would also come to the barren steppe to hunt during the dry season.
But it's really not clear where exactly they are stationed.
"Hmm. ”
Yong nodded, pointed to the nearest hill, and said, "That is the station of the fox tribe. ”
Then, he pointed to the two mountains in the distance: "Those two are the stations of the Peach Tribe and the Tiger Tribe respectively. ”
Listening to Yong's introduction, Lin Luo's eyes couldn't help but turn to the nearest mountain.
I don't know if I can meet Mei in this big hunt!
......
The hunting efficiency of the five veteran members was still very high, and in less than an hour, they returned to the station with a full load.
On everyone's shoulders, they carried a large bison of nearly 1,000 catties.
"Poof!"
Throwing the dead bison carcass to the ground, Lie instructed the newcomers, "Dispose of the prey and prepare to eat." ”
"Yes. ”
Hearing this, the newlyweds immediately nodded with joy on their faces.
This morning's time was basically spent in a fast run, and the huge physical exertion had already made their stomachs rumble with hunger.
Now, seeing that we can finally eat, we are all overjoyed.
Since they had little experience in handling prey, Lin Luo and another newcomer were responsible for carrying bamboo tubes to a nearby river to fetch water.
The rest, with stone daggers in hand, began to bleed, skin, and gut five bison.
Driven by hunger, the movement of the people was also very swift, and soon the strong bison turned into a pile of fresh beef.
Not far away, the bonfire had been lit, and everyone, including the veterans of the hunting party, was eager to put the beef on the branches and put it on the fire to start roasting.
In comparison, Lin Luo was going to be a little slow and methodical.
After cutting a piece of beef with a bone knife, he did not rush to roast it, but put it on the leaves that had been laid out in advance.
Then, I untie the previously cut sandymarin vine from my waist, cut a small piece from the top and put it in a bamboo tube, and then pound it vigorously with a wooden stick.
"Lin Luo, what are you doing here?"
Yong, who was sitting next to him, asked with puzzlement when he saw this scene.
"Do an experiment. ”
Lin Luo replied to him as he pounded hard.
Huh, that's a familiar answer!
Hearing this, Yong couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
After thinking about it for a while, I remembered that when Lin Luo was cutting the canes of the mary vine before, he had asked curiously, and Lin Luo also gave such an answer at that time.
Only, what exactly is an experiment?
Just when Yong was puzzled, Lin Luo had already poured the mashed sandalwood vine cane on top of the beef, and then spread it evenly with his hands.
After doing all this, Lin Luo found a branch to wear the beef on it, and then put it on the fire.
In addition to Yong, there were also many other fighters who noticed Lin Luo's actions, but everyone just glanced at them curiously.
The act of rubbing mashed plant canes on top of the flesh seemed somewhat incomprehensible to them, after all, most plant rhizomes were bitter in their perception.
Could it be that Lin Luo prefers to eat bitter meat?
Many people can't help but think secretly in their hearts.
......
"It smells so good!"
About five minutes later, the stone mortar sitting on the other side of Lin Luo suddenly sniffed his nose vigorously.
"The scent seems to be of a rosemary flower. ”
One of the fighters immediately snapped.
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the newcomers suddenly changed, especially Feng, whose faces turned white with a brush.
As the saying goes: once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope!
Now let alone ten years, what happened before is still vivid in their minds.
Now that I smell the fragrance of the marylin flowers again, I am naturally frightened.
Smelling this familiar fragrance, even Lie couldn't help frowning.
You know, in this jungle, the marywood vine is not a common plant.
He didn't expect that the hunting party would encounter two plants in one day, and one of them was still near the station.
"It's not marry-on, it's meat. ”
At this moment, Yong suddenly spoke.
As he spoke, his eyes were staring at Lin Luo's piece of barbecue.
Sitting next to Lin Luo, he could clearly smell that the fragrance of the rosemary flowers was emanating from Lin Luo's piece of beef.
"Don't be nervous, there are no rosemary flowers nearby, and the aroma is coming from my piece of beef. ”
At this time, Lin Luo also opened his mouth to explain to everyone.
Hearing Lin Luo's explanation, everyone remembered that he went to rub the mashed sandywood vine canes on the beef.
Seeing that it was a false alarm, Lie suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
The rookie warrior who was called Wishmary's name before also had an embarrassed expression on his face.
After this episode, everyone continued to barbecue, but everyone's eyes would involuntarily glance at Lin Luo's piece of beef.
There is no other reason than the aroma of that piece of beef, which is so tempting.
Five minutes later......
"Lin Luo, is your beef cooked?"
Yong asked, staring at the beef.
"Not yet. ”
Lin Luo shook his head and replied.
Another five minutes later......
"Lin Luo, I think your beef is cooked. ”
Yong said with swallowing saliva.
"Not yet. ”
Lin Luo continued to shake his head.
Another five minutes later......
"Lin Luo, mine is already cooked, yours should be able to eat it, right?"
Yong nibbled on his half-cooked beef and said to Lin Luo.
As the beef is roasted for a longer time, the aroma emitted becomes more and more intense, which makes Yong really unbearable.
“......”
Seeing that Yong's eyes were a little red, Lin Luo could only say helplessly: "I'll try it." ”
After saying that, he used a bone knife to cut a piece from it and put it in his mouth.
It seems to work pretty well!
Chewing on the beef in his mouth, a smile gradually appeared on Lin Luo's face.
As mentioned earlier, the reason why he cut off a section of the vine vine was indeed to do an experiment.
The purpose of this experiment was to see if the vine could be used as a natural spice.
In this primitive world, the only condiment to food was salt, and it was extremely scarce in the tribe.
According to Wu, the salt of the bamboo tribe is exchanged from the big tribe, and it is only exchanged once a year.
Therefore, the taste of the barbecue they usually eat can be imagined, not only does it not have any salty taste, but even most of the meat still has a fishy smell.
It was precisely because he couldn't stand the fishy smell that Lin Luo came up with the idea of looking for spices.
Anyway, the vine doesn't contain any toxins, so there's no danger even if the experiment fails.
But now it seems that his experiment was quite successful.
Because, at this moment, the piece of beef in his mouth not only has the slightest fishy smell, but even has a unique fragrance of marrying vine.
Such a remarkable flavor enhancement effect is better than many spices on earth.
