The rough clay pot was blackened by the flames, and the boiling water emitted a large amount of steam, gushing out towards the mouth of the clay pot.

Four cleaned nestweavers were churning in the boiling white water, with sporadic oil splashes floating above, and a few slices of bacon could be faintly glimpsed mixed in.

Bi Fang took out the stomach pouch, took out the coagulated blood clot inside, skillfully cut it into small pieces with a dagger, and poured it into the jar.

Under the gentle action of the current, the blood clot quickly becomes hard and floats.

Open a sturdy baobab fruit, remove the pulp from it, drip the sour juice into the jar, and sprinkle in a handful of spices, mostly dried plant powder.

There are also four roasted nest birds around the campfire, whose skin is just beginning to turn red, and Bi Fang, who has prepared the flavor, just came over to turn them over to make the heat more even, and at the same time brush the juice of baobab fruit to bring out a stronger flavor.

A total of eight nest weavers were caught during the day, half stewed and half roasted, all of which were the freshest, so that they were refreshing to eat.

Bi Fang likes to eat fresh, with a unique taste, and if it weren't for the sake of removing moisture and preserving food, he would not have smoked more than half of the meat of the horned antelope.

After doing this, Bi Fang left the camera for a short time, as if he had taken something.

[Show me that I'm hungry]

[Why is the Wilderness Survival channel, I'm making dinner for the anchor]

[Fortunately, I just finished eating the rice bowl, hehehehe]

[Is this the strength of the great god, there is nothing, you still don't have to worry about food and clothing, and you even eat better than me]

[There are only two vegetarian dishes in today's boxed lunch, and my body and mind are haggard]

[Quite a big cat]

[I'll release you next time]

[It's a pity that there is no salt, if there is salt, I feel that it must be delicious]

[Plus one, I ate a fat reduction meal last month, less oil and less salt, I feel that my whole body is not a taste, every time I eat it, I am obviously full, but it seems that I haven't eaten anything]

"Who says there's no salt?" Bi Fang, who left the camera for a short time, held a large bundle of reeds and threw it on the ground, pointing to a large bundle of reeds scattered on the ground, "Oh, isn't this it?" ”

Seeing the reeds on the ground, everyone slowly typed a question mark, puzzled by what it meant.

Due to the busy day today, collecting the spoils, the location of the camp has not changed, it is still next to the river where it was found.

Since it is a river, reeds are naturally indispensable, especially in this lukewarm weather, which is densely overgrown on the shore.

The distance between the camp and the river is only a few hundred meters, this distance is not far or close, not only to avoid the beasts that drink water, but also to facilitate the water and life, reeds are worthless things, and you can get back a large bundle in half an hour back and forth.

It's just that the audience thought that Bi Fang brought back so many reeds to spread them on the ground and act as mattresses, so that they could sleep more comfortably at night.

That doesn't seem to be the case now?

[It can't be that salt can be extracted from this, right?] 】

[Salt can also be extracted from reeds? 】

[Isn't it? 】

[Grass and Trees Gray Salt, didn't Fang Shen do it once, don't you remember? ] 】

[Ao, I remember, the grass and trees are gray and salty, so why are you looking for reeds, can't ordinary ash work? 】

"Not really." Bi Fang smiled, took out a torch from the fire pit, lit the whole reed, and burned it, "The salt extracted from the plant ash belongs to potassium salt, and if the method is appropriate, it can be eaten, but this is only effective for a short time, and it cannot replenish the electrolytes in the body for a long time. ”

"When we eat salt, we are essentially eating sodium salt, and we need to replenish the sodium ions in the body, rather than simply eating salty."

Sodium plays a huge role in the human body, can promote the body's metabolism, and can also be used as an electrolyte to maintain the stability and balance of water inside cells.

Sodium is also involved in physiological phenomena such as muscle contraction, nervous system movement, and carbohydrate absorption.

Therefore, the body must maintain sufficient sodium levels to achieve health and balance.

"Those who have studied high school biology should know that there are sodium ion channels and potassium ion channels in human beings, and the two seem to be similar, but the sodium ion radius is small, the hydration is relatively tight, and it is not easy to remove the hydrated outer layer."

"In addition, due to the small diameter, it cannot bind well to the side chains, so sodium ions cannot pass through the potassium channel, and the two effects cannot be replaced."

Dry reeds are flammable, and as soon as they come into contact with the torches, they start a raging fire.

The night is brighter.

The large bundles of reeds quickly turned to ashes under the flames.

"That is to say, potassium salt itself only has the effect of making food more delicious, and it cannot be used for a long time, but reeds can help us in one step, not only providing the required sodium ions, but also ensuring enough saltiness, this salt is called reed salt, which is a kind of Kenyan specialty, right?"

Reed salt?

Specialty?

[Things I haven't heard of have increased]

[This thing is also plant ash when it is burned, what's the difference]

[I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out]

[Can salt be used as a specialty?] 】

"Don't worry, you'll find out later."

"We eat meat all at once, in fact, the body is not short of sodium, mainly to provide everyone with a different way of thinking, and at the same time to satisfy their appetites, there has been no salt, and birds are coming out of my mouth."

The salt in the meat itself is enough to live, and theoretically, as long as the prey can be caught, there is no need to consider making salt in the wilderness.

But just like Bi Fang himself said, birds came out of his mouth.

Sufficient, but uncomfortable to use.

So salt is to be made.

All the salt is made, so naturally we must do our best, otherwise Bi Fang will use ordinary plant ash to make salt a few days ago.

Bi Fang pulled the reed with a stick, allowing it to fully contact the air and speed up the burning, while continuing to add reeds to it.

Obviously, that bundle just now was not enough.

"Kenya is one of the big countries in Africa, with a vast territory and rich resources, and the processing of salt from reeds is an ancient and relatively common method of salt production."

Bi Fang will tell the method of making salt.

When the rainy season comes, the local salt maker will choose the river beach rich in reeds in advance, and once the reeds have grown to more than one meter, they will organize the whole family to harvest them.

The cut reed stalks are stacked on large natural rocks, and the scorching sun will carry away the water from the reeds for three to four days.

After that, they make a fire and burn the reeds and collect all the ashes that are left.

The saltmaker will add water to the ashes and strain them repeatedly with a fine mesh until most of the impurities have been separated, and then pour the remaining yellow-brown "brine" into a pot to heat.

"After many boils, a layer of yellow-brown salt will be left at the bottom of the pot, which is the legendary 'reed salt'."

"Usually this process lasts a few days, the smoky working environment is very torturous, and the harvest will not be too much, and because the production process is very primitive, the purity of the salt obtained is not high, and there are many impurities, and hundreds of catties of reeds can often only dry out a small bag of reed salt."

"As for the taste, the locals say it is delicious and has a special aroma."

"As for what you asked, why you can use reeds to make salt, it's actually caused by the structure of the soil in Kenya."

The reeds burned very quickly, and soon the bundle burned out, leaving only a pile of black ashes.

While there was still a little flame, Bi Fang threw out the second bundle.

"There is very little suitable land for cultivation in Kenya, and the vast majority of the soil here is saline, and when there is not enough precipitation, the salt levels in plants such as reeds soar to the level of salt production."

"The locals take advantage of this geographical and climatic conditions to make salt to feed their families."

"The price of reed salt is quite amazing, the processed reed salt will be wrapped in leaves and sold, a small bag of about 200 grams, usually can be sold for about 130 yuan, that is to say, a meal may need more than 1 ugly yuan of reed salt, which is quite expensive."

The edible salt in a normal supermarket is usually only two pieces a bag, even if it is a high-grade salt with other ingredients, it is only five to ten pieces, and it is a very thick bag, compared to these salts, reed salt can be said to be ridiculously expensive.

[, it's really a specialty]

[So not all reeds can use this trick, right?] 】

[The old party knows really a lot]

[I flipped through the map that day, isn't Kenya by the sea?] Why don't you just use sea salt?]

"That's right, only the reeds on the saline ground can be eaten by this method, and the refining efficiency in other places is too low to be worth doing at all."

"As for why you rely on the sea but don't use sea salt, it's more complicated to explain, in short, sea salt is more expensive!"

The second bundle of reeds was also burned, and Bi Fang gathered all the black ashes, poured them into another small clay pot, boiled them with water, and began to refine the salt in them.

Some of these reasons are also explained to the audience.

The most essential reason is that the right to produce salt in Kenya is not in the hands of the government itself!

From very early on, Kenya was an African country colonized by the central state, and for a very long time, which left an indelible impression on the country.

Even today, there are still a large number of Kenyans who express their grief over ****** death, calling themselves "subjects".

It was also because of the all-round intervention during the colonial period that many capitalist interest groups in Kenya were infiltrated by the central government, including the salt factory.

If the production and processing of salt is not in the hands of the government, the consequences of this will be as serious as you can see in history.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China, selling illicit salt means being beheaded.

The purpose is also very simple, that is, salt is an absolute demand for ordinary people in trading commodities!

Controlling salt can control the economy in disguise and regulate the stability of the market.

The importance of this cannot be overstated.

"In '18, Kenya had the salt company pay a 'seawater use fee' to the Water Resources Authority, which amounted to 2 billion shillings a year."

"As a result, there was strong opposition from the salt companies, arguing that the government had no right to charge for seawater, but Kenya did not agree, so the price of salt skyrocketed tenfold until no one could afford it."

【Good Guys】

[This is also too miserable]

[Is this something that can be said (funny)]

[The Third World is like this]

The water in the tank boiled quickly, this pit was different, and there was more firewood in it, otherwise Bi Fang was worried that his nesting birds were roasting the lake, and the salt had not yet come out.

At this time, there was only a layer of yellow water left in the clay pot that looked quite thick, and Bi Fang stretched out his little finger and dipped it in it, and put it in his mouth.

"It's very salty, but it still needs to be filtered and precipitated."

Another set of processes with little difference, this time cooking, yellow grains can already be seen on the wall of the tank.

Bi Fang didn't dislike it, he scraped it off directly, put it in a clay pot of stewed meat, and sprinkled it on the roasted nest bird.

"The time is not well controlled, the salt should be brought out before roasting, but it doesn't matter, we eat it first, although it is not filtered, but it is not poisonous."

With salt, food truly has a soul.

The roasted nest bird turned from a red color to a dark red, and its exposed paws were slightly blackened, and it became extremely crispy when you put it in your mouth.

Delicious!

Under the infiltration of oil, the whole roasted nest bird becomes extremely crispy, and it can be eaten with bones and meat, and the salty taste has a hint of fruit acid, which is appetizing.

[Ah, I'm going to starve to death]

[I drool when I see it]

[It's decided!] Eat roast pigeon tomorrow! 】

He took out two of them and put them in a pot of baobabs, and after letting them cool a little, Bi Fang handed them to Harley, who was impatient on the side.

The food for a few days has spices and salt, and as a cheetah, he has long been impatient, opened his mouth and took a big bite directly, and even ate the belt meat.

The clay pot of stewed meat was also brought out, and the aroma was fragrant, and the nesting birds inside also became tender and soft, and the skin and meat were easily separated after one bite.

The bacon has a unique taste, and the blood clots are fragile and tender, which is an extremely good taste.

Harley, who had eaten the two roasted nest birds, ran over and stuck his head into the pot, and before he could drive them away, he was burned up and down by the steam.

Bi Fang laughed, but he was not stingy.

In the same way, two of them are eaten by themselves, and two are given to Harley.

There are eight in total, one person and one leopard are exactly one and a half, plus some bacon, eat sweaty, and afterwards you can use baobab fruit scoop soup to drink, which is a rare enjoyment.

At this time, the second round of reed salt was also precipitated, and Bi Fang started the third round, and then lay down on the ground to eat.

Finally ate enough delicious food, and now Bi Fang is in good spirits and full of red light.

Another great night.

Bi Fang rested contentedly, and when the third round of water was about to boil dry, and he got up to strain it, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.

But when I looked around, nothing happened.

The boiling brine is poured into another jar, and a large amount of steam is poured out as it is poured.

Harley lay down by the fire pit, his head on Jerry and playing with it.

The firewood crackled in the fire pit, the flames rose, and the environment became eerily quiet, as eerie as ever.

Pitch-black shadows swayed and elongated in the orange-yellow light.

Bi Fang lowered his head, continued to add water, and simmered, as if nothing had happened.

In the darkness of the night, several pairs of eyes glowing green flashed.
