Chapter 12: Delicious Salt

Cang Jizi was overjoyed when he saw that the dragon spirit had the upper hand, and shook his head and said, "A few big brothers, you have gained a lot, can you share some meat with me?" ”

The pig said angrily: "This is the surplus meat that hunters are qualified to eat, you get away!" ”

Cang Jizi smiled: "It's not for nothing, I'll exchange an extremely important news with you." ”

"Huh?" Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all laughed: "One sentence can be exchanged for food, do you really think that you can predict the future prophet?" ”

"Hmph." Cang Jizi sneered and said loudly: "My news is related to the life and death of your descendants, you should think about it." If you don't want to change, I'll leave now, but don't regret it. ”

"Haha...... Hehe...... Hey...... Belch. The hunters laughed a few times, but gradually they could not laugh anymore, and all of them looked serious.

After exchanging glances with each other for a while, the pig said, "Do you want to listen to him?" ”

Wuzhigang thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, it's a big deal to be deceived by him once, isn't it just a piece of meat, just listen to him." ”

Everyone nodded yes, and the pig picked up a porcupine and threw it at the feet of Cangjizi and said, "We have changed with you, say it quickly." ”

Cang Jizi said: "You come here with your ears, and I will tell you." ”

The pig walked up to him suspiciously, and Cang Jizi whispered a few words in his ear.

"What?!" Pig cavity suddenly opened his eyes, and looked at Cang Jizi and then at Long Jing in shock, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

"What the hell is going on?" The dragon spirit and the others were confused.

Pig came back to his senses, returned to the crowd in a panic, gathered everyone together, and whispered head to head.

The group of people listened for a moment, exclaimed, turned their heads to look at the dragon spirit together, and then let out a shout, and dispersed violently, hurriedly running in all directions, and in the blink of an eye, there was no shadow.

The dragon spirit was dumbfounded, blinked and asked Cang Jizi, "What did you say to them?" ”

"Hahaha." Cang Jizi let out a long laugh and said contemptuously: "Guess, aren't you very smart? ”

He mentioned the porcupine, beckoned to the dragon spirit, and said, "Isn't this meat?" Walk to your house. ”

The two of them came to the top of the banyan tree on the east side of the village, and climbed up the rope ladder along the main trunk until they reached the top of the tree, where they appeared above the top of the leaf.

The two of them seemed to emerge from the green water, and there was no shelter in front of them, and suddenly they opened up, and the endless jungle was in full view.

The head is no longer green, but a gloomy cloud, the rain is sprinkled on the body without hindrance, and a cool breeze blows, and the stuffiness is swept away, which makes people feel refreshed.

"Wow, that's cool!" Cang Jizi closed his eyes and felt the gentle breeze, stretched out his arms, and said with an extremely comfortable look.

Long Jing also perked up and said, "I've never been used to the stuffiness in the village, so I live in a ventilated high place. ”

Cang Jizi opened his eyes, looked left and right and asked, "Where is your house?" ”

The dragon spirit pointed to a huge bird's nest on a tall branch in front of him and said, "Isn't that that?" ”

"Ahh Cang Jizi was surprised: "Why is it an uncovered bird's nest?" Aren't you afraid of the rain? ”

The dragon spirit smiled and said, "Go over and see what you know." ”

The two climbed over and reached the bottom of the bird's nest, only to find that there was a room a few feet below the bird's nest.

"The bird's nest above is the observation deck I built, and this is my residence."

"Why don't you just build a house on it, it's so cool to live in."

The dragon spirit shook his head and smiled, "I don't want to die yet." ”

"Are you afraid that the house will be blown down by a strong wind?"

"Not really. The house of the Longze Department is very solid, not afraid of the wind or rain, I am afraid of being struck by lightning. ”

"Lightning strike?" Cang Jizi was surprised: "You are not a monster and ghost, how could the thunder god split you?" ”

The dragon spirit didn't know how to explain to him, scratched his head and said, "Thor not only splits monsters, but sometimes also splits living creatures at the highest place. ”

"yes, how come I've never heard of it?" Cang Jizi was a little unconvinced, and said to himself: "I'll try it one day." ”

"Hey, don't!" Long Jing was anxious, looked at him speechless for a long time, and finally said weakly: "Forget me, listen to me once, don't try." ”

Cang Jizi turned his head over and pretended not to hear, the dragon spirit was about to go crazy, so he simply ignored him.

The two climbed onto the platform, and the dragon spirit pushed open the door and entered the house, put down his belongings, threw the winged fire snake into a basket and locked it up, and began to busily make a fire and roast meat.

Cang Jizi didn't help, sitting on the side and playing with the branches in his hands to watch the dragon spirit busy, and waited for the meat to be roasted before he pounced and gobbled it up.

"Well, it's delicious!" Cang Jizi nibbled on porcupine, chewing and intoxicated: "If I could eat such delicious food every day, I would rather do nothing and stay here until I die of old age." ”

"!" The dragon spirit yelled and kicked him.

Cang Jizi was kicked down by him, and he was not angry, he sat up with a smile and continued to eat, and asked: "I see that your method of barbecue is no different, why is it delicious?" ”

The dragon spirit secret smiled and said, "I am a person given by the dragon, and the food I make is of course delicious." ”

Cang Jizi was convinced, jealous and envious of him.

In fact, the so-called spells of the dragon spirits are just salt.

Naturally, humans and animals need to consume salt, and human beings usually eat salt-containing plants and animal flesh, which is enough to supplement the salt needed by the body, and there is no need to eat salt.

Therefore, there is no concept of salt in the cognition of the indigenous people, and they will also use condiments, but only sour and sweet, and salty ones are difficult to obtain.

Although they don't know how to create a salty taste, the favorite taste of human taste cells is saltiness, so dragon essence just sprinkled a little salt on the food, and it immediately became the supreme delicacy in the eyes of the natives.

It is not difficult to obtain edible salt in nature, as long as there is a place where salt accumulates, it can be easily extracted. But in a rainy and damp place like the jungle, it is difficult to find salt water, and salt mines, salt wells and so on are hard to find.

After eating food that has not tasted salty for a long time, the dragon spirit has faded out of its mouth, and it wants to eat salt with its heart, so it pays attention to finding salt on weekdays.

One day, he saw a group of monkeys licking stones on the cliff of Eagle Cliff, and he ventured to climb up. I found a layer of white crystals at the monkey's licking place, tasted it, and sure enough, it was salt, and scraped it off carefully.

It's a pity that he only saw that there was salt in that small area, and he scraped it like a treasure for a whole day, and scraped off a layer of stone skin, so he collected a small handful, which was only the size of an egg.

There may still be salt on the cliff face, but it is difficult to climb and difficult to collect. Long Jing had superb climbing skills and barely climbed thirty or forty meters, and he had to risk his life to get this bit of salt, and it was impossible to collect a large amount of it.

"I'm running out of salt in my hand, and I'll run out of salt in the future." He was secretly worried.

"I vaguely remember that there are well salt mines in this province in the future, and if I can find a salt mine and provide enough salt for the tribe, everyone will recognize me."

He pondered in his heart, trying to search his memory for relevant information.

"Hiccup! I'm so sleepy. Cang Jizi burped, and when he saw that the dragon spirit was in a daze, he went to sleep in the house without saying a word.

The dragon spirit had never paid attention to this kind of news, and sat alone by the fire and pondered for a long time, until the fire was almost extinguished, and he didn't think of anything useful, so he had to give up for the time being.

He put out the fire, rubbed his eyebrow bones and walked into the house, and saw Cang Jizi sleeping on his mat on all fours and snoring, and he was so angry that he had to roll on the ground and sleep.
