Chapter 14: Rice with Taste
The coarse salt they brought back quickly allowed them to finish processing.
Su Yu arranged for several people to go to the salt mine to mine, and their task was to dig salt every day and transport it back.
"Congratulations on setting up a processing workshop, where your people can earn 1 Industry Point for working every day."
Naturally, the more salt the better, and this survival material will definitely sell well when the caravan is formed and traded with other tribes, and it is definitely a hot commodity.
The world is so big, I want to see it. You can't always nest in the ravine and develop your head, and the last time I traded with the greedy wolf tribe, I found rice, which shows that other tribes have more or less good things, don't get in touch with them, how to get things.
With salt, it's natural to have a delicious meal.
Put the fish in a cauldron and add the boar bones that you just hunted today.
Then the grilled fish is served and sprinkled with salt, but unfortunately there are no spices such as chili cumin, but even so, it is better than just plain flavor.
Su Yu hadn't tasted salt for a long time, and he had a great appetite for this meal.
When I take a sip of hot soup, I feel that all my cells are active.
Not only him, but the clansmen next to him were so happy to eat that they couldn't stop at all.
"Patriarch, this tastes so good with salt!" Su Xun licked his lips, still a little unsatisfied.
Su Yu saw that Su Qing was eating very happily, and his face was stained with fish residue and juice.
"Su Qing." Su Yu called her name.
"What's wrong, Patriarch." Su Qing stopped his mouth and asked suspiciously.
She was not afraid of the patriarch, but felt that the patriarch was very easy to get along with.
"Salt is a good thing, isn't it?"
"Yes, grilled fish with salt is much better than without it."
"But salt isn't just a condiment, it's also a bactericidal one."
Su Yu told Su Qing some knowledge about salt, "Salt is an essential element for the human body, and it is ......"
Su Yu taught Su Qing everything he knew, and it was up to her to understand how much she could comprehend.
"So, if salt is sprinkled on the wound, can it kill bacteria and prevent bacterial infection?" Su lightly widened his bright eyes and asked Su Yu.
"......" sprinkles salt on the wound, which is not ......
Su Yu hurriedly shook his head, "Although salt can kill bacteria, it will hurt if it is sprinkled on the wound, you know?" The pain is constant, so if you don't believe it, you can try it yourself. Su Yu said with a serious face.
Isn't it self-inflicted with salt on the wound?
"However, if there is no other sterilization method, salt can still be used."
Su Yu added, after all, if you really have to come to that kind of crisis moment, if you use salt, it will only hurt for a while, and it is better than dying.
"Patriarch, I suddenly found that I was very interested in what you said about chemistry, when can you teach me?"
"I'm sure I'll teach when I have time, but I can't teach when I don't have time." Su Yu really wanted to say, how much can I understand as an otaku, it's good if I don't return everything to the teacher, and teach others, I'm afraid I don't want to mislead people's children.
However, even if you don't understand it, you can't admit that you can't do things that destroy your image.
Sending Su Qing away, Su Yu thought of a delicacy, bacon, oh, and salted fish.
With salt, bacon can be marinated, and salted fish is also a truth, which is salted. This is much easier to make than smoked fish, which does not have salt and needs to be smoked intensively, otherwise it will spoil.
Salt, on the other hand, can kill bacteria and inhibit the growth of colonies.
Thinking of this, Su Yu called the tribal chefs together and taught them how to make bacon and salted fish.
"Be sure to sprinkle plenty of salt and don't worry about wasting salt. If there is less salt, the meat will rot and spoil. At the end of the day, it's a waste of salt and meat, and a waste of time, you know? Su Yu told them carefully and told them where to pay attention.
"Well, got it, Patriarch." They took the patriarch's words to heart, and then watched the patriarch's demonstration.
Yes, Su Yu has to show them again.
The meat used to make bacon is hunted by the hunting team today, since there is a catapult, every day when you go out to hunt, you must bring back the prey, but the raw meat is not easy to store, and the cooked meat will deteriorate after a long time, so the number of prey brought back by hunting every day is not much, just enough for the needs of the day.
Cut the meat into strips with a stone knife, put it in a salt basin and cover it with salt grains, then knead and marinate to taste.
Salted fish is to cut the whole fish into two pieces, and then marinate it in the same way.
Finally, they were put on a rope and hung in the sun, and they could be eaten after more than ten days.
Making bacon and salted fish was simple, and soon they all learned.
However, it costs a lot of salt to make bacon and salted fish, and the output of salt is not very much now, so you can make it freely after the production increases.
……
"Su Yun, do you remember the Wolf Mountain tribe last time?"
"Oh, remember, they were beaten by us at that time, and chased several hills before letting them go, and a few of them fell on the road that time." Su Yun remembered this incident, and in his opinion, it was an interesting incident encountered while hunting.
The combat power on the other side is too weak, and you can't beat your side in a fight, let alone move the real thing. However, although they can't beat it, they are really fast.
If it weren't for Su Yun's quick reaction, he would have really robbed them of the prey and ran away.
"Huh? Those injured clansmen all fell by themselves? Su Yu was stunned.
"That's right, it's because a few of them fell, and then they didn't catch up with those Wolf Mountain tribes."
Su Yu was embarrassed, he thought that those clansmen were injured during the battle, although this was also considered to be injured from the battle.
"Then do you know where the Wolf Mountain tribe is?"
"We all know the Wolf Mountain tribe, but the location of their tribe is not very clear, only the general direction." Su Yun replied honestly.
"Then you follow Su Xun to find out where the Wolf Mountain tribe is."
"Patriarch, what are you doing with the Wolf Mountain Tribe?" Su Yun was puzzled, after all, it was no threat to the tribe.
"Now that the tribe is short of people, they have provoked us again, can't we beat them too much, right?" Su Yu said with a straight face.
"Yes, no problem." Su Yun understood, nodded and replied, "I'll go with him tomorrow to find it." ”
After speaking, he ran to find Su Xun in a hurry. Ever since he followed the patriarch to fight off the invading enemies, the belligerent factor in his body has been completely awakened, and he has always wanted to find the lair of the original group of invaders and fight them to the death.
It's just that the group of enemies came and left very suddenly, and they didn't look like the tribes around here at all. So Su Yun couldn't find them, after all, this mountain was vast and boundless, and if he really wanted to go in and find it, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
