Chapter 16 Bacon? Let's make air-dried meat!

The soup in the evening was very fragrant, and during the meal, Chen Mo sighed that it would be good if he had let Chef He earlier, which is a typical five-star chef in primitive society.

There are six people living in the cave now, and there is still a lot of space, but the animal pelts are not very sufficient, and now it is almost feasible to serve as a cover, but it is not enough to make clothes.

Chen Mo lay on the bed and said to He, "He, tomorrow you will study bacon at home." ”

"Can you eat the meat if it's smoked?" He asked curiously, "The smoke you made last time was so big."

"......" Chen Mo was a little speechless, this stalk can't be revealed for the time being.

"Mo, I'll go hunting with them tomorrow, will you do it at home?" asked He.

"Tomorrow I will hunt more fur prey, and I will sew some clothes for you to survive the winter, and now it is cold. Chen Mo lit a cigarette and said slowly.

There are still four cigarettes, Chen Mo is now lighting one and smoking two puffs, then extinguishing them, putting them away, and smoking two puffs on the cigarette addiction, and then extinguishing them.

Although the cigarette is a bit anti-damp, there are no replacements now, and you can smoke it for a while, and some of them are good.

"By the way, He, I'll get some bamboo tomorrow and come back, I'll be useful. Chen Mo added.

"Good!" said the river.

In the middle of the night, Chen Mo couldn't sleep, sitting alone outside the cave, he was very confused now, although he had a plan, it was really troublesome to implement.

There are plants that can replace threads, and bone needles can also be made, so that fur coats can be made on an attempt.

There is a bamboo forest, tomorrow you can get some bamboo and make some bamboo frames, you can go to the river to catch fish, and then make the fish into dried fish, which can be used as rations in winter.

Fish fat can be boiled into oil, stir-fried with mutton fat and deer oil, or made into oil lamps.

The animals they hunt can be used for bacon and cured meat, and the more food they have in stock, the more secure they feel in the winter.

And then what?

There are still too few tribes, and they are all big men, how to ensure the healthy and long-term development of the tribe?

It's a realistic survival, not a game. The game can be repeated, but the reality is the only one.

Chen Mo picked up the half of the cigarette and sniffed it deeply. The temperature in late autumn is already very low, and the coolness can be noticeably felt outside.

The stars are very bright, the sky is beautiful, the primitive society is beautiful, unlike the 21st century, all kinds of pollution, even after the rain, you can't see the blue sky and white clouds.

After smelling it for a long time, I couldn't help it, gritted my teeth and lit the half of the cigarette, and smoked it for a long time.

Go back to the cave and lie down and sleep.

At dawn, Chen Mo woke up, the river and the black big stout had already gone out, the mushroom soup was still boiling in the pot, and there was a small pile of river prey they had hunted back next to the fire.

After breakfast, Chen Mo started today's work, and walked towards the river with a bone knife and a few rabbits.

In the past, there was no salt, and the blood could replenish the salt, so every time I came back from the hunt, I kept the blood and drank it, but now that there is salt, no one drinks blood anymore.

The river water was a little cold, Chen Mo got used to the water temperature, and then began to cut the rabbit meat, and then cleaned the rabbit skin and liver.

Animal offal primitive people don't eat because they don't know how to cook and how to deal with it, although animal offal contains various toxins, but it is also nutritious.

In feudal society, animal entrails were called sei, because most of the animal entrails had a unpleasant taste, which is why many people hated him.

Secondly, the liver of animals is an important metabolic organ in the animal's body, and it is also an important detoxification organ.

The feudal society, which was countless times more advanced than the primitive society, rarely ate offal, let alone a primitive society.

But Chen Mo knows that compared with animal meat, most animal offal is richer in protein, vitamins and minerals such as iron, zinc, and selenium, which are nutrients that meat cannot make up.

Just eating meat, the human body lacks many elements that can promote brain development and develop intelligence.

Although there are many plants and vegetables in primitive societies, we all know that plants and vegetables are rich in trace elements and nutrients, but crops and vegetables in primitive societies are found very little and are not concentrated.

Modern society has supermarkets and farmers' markets where you can buy anything, but primitive societies can only rely on luck. This is also the reason for the slow evolution of primitive man.

The liver is the place where nutrients in the animal body are most concentrated, but cholesterol is also the highest, so it is also very meaningful for Chen Mo to add some of these livers to them every once in a while.

He's intellectual development is because Chen Mo eats rabbit liver for He from time to time.

Chen Mo is very particular about handling his liver, although he is an otaku in the 21st century and doesn't cook much, it doesn't mean that he can't cook, it's just that cooking is not delicious, so he uses cold water to process instant noodles, saving trouble and time.

After cleaning the livers of several rabbits, Chen Mo took the rabbit meat and walked towards the cave, Chen Mo wanted to go back to make bacon and cured meat, Chen Mo's hometown bacon and cured meat are made of pork, I don't know how it tastes when it is made of rabbit meat, it is still unknown whether it tastes good or not.

But as long as you can eat it!

Chen Mo remembers that when he smoked pork at home, he cut the pork into square pieces, but now there is no pork, only rabbit meat, so Chen Mo roughly divided the rabbit into several pieces, which reduced the volume, so that it would not take so long to smoke it.

Last time, Chen Mo took the whole chicken directly to smoke, and there was no pre-treatment, so it caused the cave to follow the fire, Chen Mo decided to get the preliminary steps first, first pickled, then dried, and finally smoked!

Dried?

"I'll wipe it!" Chen Mo patted his head, now the smoking technique is not up to it, the conditions are not up to it, if it is not smoked well, the river has to take this stalk as an example, although the speaker is unintentional, but Chen Mo is also uncomfortable when he hears it. Let's make some air-dried meat first, this is simple and easy to make.

Chen Mo put the rabbit meat in a mud basin, sprinkled it with even salt first, and then rubbed it hard, Chen Mo's hand was accidentally broken a little by the rabbit bone just now, and it hurt to be stained with salt, Chen Mo comforted himself: "Sterilization and disinfection, it doesn't hurt at all! Although it was painful, Chen Mo still held back and continued to pickle.

The process of pre-processing of pickling was not troublesome, and when He and Hei Zhuang came back, Chen Mo had already finished marinating the meat of several rabbits and put them in a basin. Seeing these strange meats, the river stepped forward and sniffed them: "Salty!"

Big, as the name suggests, big grinning, he only saw the river smelling, thinking that the river ate a bite, so he went up and picked up a pickled rabbit meat, and took a big bite, well, the taste is weird, and it is also delicious. After all, primitive societies also ate raw meat many times.

When the others saw that they had eaten a mouthful of rabbit meat, they thought it was a new food made by the chief, so they each took one and ate it too.

Chen Mo hurriedly stopped: "Don't, don't eat it, this is for the winter." ”

The four people stopped, looked at Chen Mo, and then looked down at the rabbit meat, curious about how the meat with salt survived the winter. He consciously took back the meat from the hands of the four people and put it in the basin.

Chen Mo looked at the meat that they had bitten several times, and was speechless, and he didn't blame them, mainly because he didn't explain it clearly.

The five of them went out this time to gain a lot, and they were full of piles next to the fire, Chen Mo was very happy, according to this progress, and continue to go out to hunt for half a month, then the whole winter will be very happy.

After eating at noon, take them to the river to deal with the animals.
