The Rise of Primitive Tribes Farming

Chapter 121 Kimchi Jar and Pickled Fish
In the middle of the third month of autumn, the weather gradually turns cooler, and there are even some chills at night.

Chen Bei collected all the buckwheat, vegetables, and spices grown in his yard, dried them in the sun, and packed them in clay pots or animal skin bags.

There is one thing to be happy about this year.

That is, with the multiple planting of peppers, it is now too much to eat.

In the whole tribe, currently only Chenbei likes to eat chili peppers. Others still find it difficult to accept this kind of food. Only a small number of people add a little bit of flavor when cooking.

It takes a long time to adapt from not eating chili to being addicted to spicy food.

After being busy for more than half a year, it was hard for him to take some time off, so Chen Bei planned to reward himself.

He wants to make pickled fish.

This idea has been in his mind for a long time, the hot and sour, delicious taste makes his mouth water when he thinks about it.

But if you want to make sauerkraut fish, you must first have sauerkraut, and if you want to make sauerkraut, you must first have a kimchi jar.

So he came to the pottery workshop, intending to make a batch of sauerkraut jars.

The Mang tribe's current pottery technology is getting better and better, and the number of people in the pottery workshop has also increased a lot, from five people to fifteen people.

These people don't have to do other things in the tribe. They just think about how to make pottery every day and keep doing experiments. Now the pottery they make is much better than before.

"leader."

In the pottery workshop, Wu Teng saw Chen Bei coming over, put down his work, and went to say hello.

The clay kiln of the pottery workshop has been getting bigger and bigger, and two kilns have been added, unlike before, there is only one small clay kiln.

There are piles of pottery in the shed: pots, bowls, pots, vases, tripods, etc.

Chen Bei looked around, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Wu Teng, the pottery you make is getting better and better."

Wu Teng smiled and said: "Thanks to the leader who often gives pointers."

Chen Beidao: "I came here this time because I want you to cook a batch of kimchi jars. This thing is very important. If it can be successfully manufactured, then our tribe won't have to eat vegetables every day in winter."

"This jar can preserve fresh vegetables and make them sour and delicious, very delicious."

When it comes to sauerkraut, Chen Bei's saliva secretion speed obviously became faster, he quietly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, this taste, even after traveling through so many years, is still deeply rooted in his memory.

Wu Teng's eyes lit up, and said: "There are such good things."

Wu Teng was also excited at the thought of being able to eat juicy and juicy vegetables in winter. He had no doubts about Chen Bei's words, because Chen Bei had already created countless miracles.

"I'll show you the shape of it."

At the place where the clay pots were made, Chen Bei took a lump of reconciled clay, and kneaded it into sticks of clay, and kneaded it into the shape of a kimchi jar bit by bit.

Then, he squeezed another inner cover, and another outer cover came out.

It took Chen Bei a lot of time to knead this kimchi jar, and the craftsmen in the pottery workshop watched intently, trying to remember every detail.

After kneading it, Chen Bei pointed to the semi-finished jar and said, "This is the kimchi jar. It has a bigger belly and a smaller mouth. The most important thing is its lid and the eaves for water."

"The lid is divided into an inner lid and an outer lid. The inner lid is flat and needs to be fastened to the mouth of the altar tightly, and a large outer lid is placed on the outside."

"After it is covered, water will be filled into the eaves of this altar, and then placed in a cool place in the house..."

Chen Bei explained to them every tribe of the kimchi jar in detail, how to make it, what are the requirements, and what are the uses.

Wu Teng nodded repeatedly, and said: "Boss, I understand, don't worry, we will definitely make this pickle jar."

Chen Bei nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Then I won't bother you, I'll go back and wait for your good news."

Chen Bei turned and left.

After Chen Bei left, Wu Teng rubbed his hands excitedly, and said: "Everyone heard clearly, this thing is done, but it's a great achievement, let's put down other work first, we must fire it out .”

Soon, the craftsmen in the pottery workshop began to study the samples left by Chen Bei. After the research, they talked about it, and then began to make kimchi jars...

Only ten days later, these craftsmen successfully fired the first batch of kimchi jars and sent two of the best ones to Chenbei.

Chenbei was overjoyed and fully affirmed the skills of these craftsmen, and rewarded each of them with two rabbit fur coats, as well as some meat and food.

Afterwards, Chen Bei soaked the two jars in water for a day, observed them repeatedly, and found that the quality was indeed not bad.

Then, Chen Bei boiled a pot of salt water in a pottery tripod, poured it into the jar, and then put the cabbage that had been selected and dried in the sun into the jar.

When loading, put a layer of vegetables, sprinkle a layer of salt, compact it, then put another layer of vegetables, sprinkle a layer of salt, do not fill it too full.

Afterwards, Chen Bei used a pottery tripod to boil a large pot of salt water, and after cooling, poured it into a jar to submerge the vegetable leaves.

After thinking about it, he threw some washed and drained peppercorns, ginger, and peppers into it, and finally closed the lid.

After covering the lid, Chenbei boiled some boiling water, let it cool down and poured it on the eaves of the kimchi jar, and sprinkled a lot of salt in the water, so as to ensure the airtightness and prevent the growth of bacteria in the water .

All Chen Bei could remember was these processes. He thought about it carefully, but he didn't think of any mistakes or omissions. It should be successful, right?
Finally, he placed the two jars in a cool place in the corner of the house, and the next thing was to wait.

Half a month later, it was time to accept the results.

"Grumbling..."

The water in the Tao Ding was already boiling.

Today, Chenbei invited the elder and Qingzhu over to taste the delicacies they made together.

Chen Bei was busy at the side, while Elder and Qing Zhu watched from the side.

"Let me give you a taste of my cooking, pickled cabbage fish, you will definitely like it!"

Chen Bei took out one of the kimchi jars from the corner of the room, and he gently opened the lid with apprehension.

A sour smell hit his nostrils, Chen Bei's eyes lit up, yes, that's the smell, it seems that the sauerkraut was successfully made.

He washed his hands, dried the water, and then reached out and took out a small cabbage.

The carefully selected cabbage has been soaked into yellow sauerkraut, which is very juicy, which greatly increases the appetite.

Chen Bei washed the sauerkraut, cut it into sections, and threw it into the boiling water.

Then, he put fish oil, ginger, and peppercorns in it, and the boiling water in the pottery cauldron gradually turned into a rich soup, and a fragrance filled the air.

Finally, Chen Bei put a freshly killed carnivorous fish into the pottery pot.

Chen Bei originally wanted to put a handful of peppers down, but after looking at the elder and Qing Zhu, he only put a little bit in.

But he also cut a small bowl of chili, and after scalding it with fish oil, he can eat it by himself later.

The smell in the pot became more and more intense, Chen Bei turned over the fish with a wooden shovel, and felt that it was almost done, so he turned down the fire, took the bowls and chopsticks, and called the elder and Qing Zhu to eat the fish.

"Elder, Wu, try it quickly."

Chen Bei first filled fish and sauerkraut for the elder and Qingzhu, and then filled it for himself, because he is the master.

Qing Zhu picked up a piece of fish with her chopsticks. The fish was still a little elastic, and it wasn't overcooked. She took a bite, and then, the sour, slightly spicy, and fresh scent of fish bloomed on the tip of her tongue.

"good to eat!"

Qingzhu only said two words, and then started to eat again, with a very enjoyment expression.

The elder also took a sip, and then couldn't stop. After the sauerkraut and fish were paired together, the taste was really good, even the soup was so delicious.

As for Chen Bei, he filled the fish and soup himself, added chili to it, and stirred it evenly. He only took one bite, and his sense of happiness soared.

It's that familiar smell!

　I have been busy for a year, and I hope everyone can eat the food they want most in their memory during the New Year.
