A leisurely life in ancient times

Chapter 15: Eating Salt Has a Future

Chapter 15: Eating Salt Has a Future

Jiang Qing's head was full of black lines, and she really couldn't expect people from the primitive era to understand things.

With a twisted face, Jiang Qing took the salt block in Cao's hand, identified it for a while, then broke off a small piece and put it to her mouth to taste, "It's salty, it should be salt, but I don't know what kind of salt it is? "

Table salt mainly includes: sea salt, lake salt, well salt, mineral salt, etc., and there are many different kinds.

Looking at the yellow-white piece of salt in his hand, Jiang Qing's face flashed with joy, at least he didn't have to eat the tasteless and meaty barbecue!

She has worked with Aunt Fan since she was a child, so she naturally has a good cooking skill.Barbecue is nothing to worry about, thinking that the salt in Cao's hand should not be purified, but now I don't have any tools at hand, so I can only make do with it.

"Cao, find me a small stone slab and break this block of salt." Jiang Qing looked at Cao and ate the salt raw, what a courage.Still, it shows how hard life is, so maybe there's something she should do about it?
Langmo and some males plundered out of the tribe to pick fresh fruits.Lance stayed, and seeing Jiang Qing order Cao to crush the salt, he couldn't help being curious.

Salty Stone, obviously Lance knew it too.After the dry season comes, the tribal food is scarce. In order to ensure the physical fitness of the males, the females will automatically go on a diet and reserve food for stronger males.

When females are hungry, they will eat salt stones bit by bit.The salty rocks are unpalatable, even harder to eat than the most unpalatable astringent fruit in the forest.He tasted it once, and after that he would rather eat astringent fruit than touch a salt stone.

What is Jiang Qing going to do with the salt stone?
Lance's narrow fox eyes unconsciously locked on to Jiang Qing.Not far away, Fan Qian and the other females were staring at Jiang Qing. Naturally, they couldn't see Lang Mo's closeness to Jiang Qing.

Cao was puzzled, and took a finger-thick stone slab from the side, "Jiang Qing, the salt stone is hard to eat... The tribe only eats a little during the dry season when there is a shortage of food."

"Salt stone?" Jiang Qing was slightly stunned, pointing at the salt block, and said with a smile: "This is salt, break it up, and I'll make something delicious for you later..."

"Delicious?" Lance flashed and came to Jiang Qing, "I'll help you, how broken do you want to be?"

"It's you?" Seeing Lance clearly, Jiang Qing smiled. She is no stranger to Lance and has met him several times.

She gestured a few times, indicating to Lance to get the salt block as thin as possible.

After listening, Lance nodded, grabbed the salt block with one hand, and squeezed it lightly.A palm-sized block of salt instantly turned into fine crystals and fell from Lance's palm onto the stone slab.

"Great!"

Jiang Qing was dumbfounded, and admired Lance's gentle face.

Seeing Jiang Qing's adoring expression, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing, and said, "Jiang Qing, Lance is a warrior in the tribe, so it's nothing to worry about just a piece of salty stone!"

"Is this... okay?" Lance blushed for a moment, coughed twice, and pointed to the yellow-white salt particles on the slate.

"Okay!" Jiang Qing nodded again and again, and took the cut branches aside, "Grass, can you help me cut these meats into such a big size?"

Scanning the pieces of meat on the stone table not far away, Jiang Qing felt a little helpless, she was too weak to hold even the smallest piece of meat and roast it in her hands.A piece of four or five catties of meat did not know how to turn and apply salt in her hand, so she had to ask the grass to help cut the meat into about one catty.

Considering the orc's appetite, Jiang Qing didn't let the grass cut the meat into too small pieces.

Seeing that Jiang Qing was going to wipe the salt stone on the barbecue, Fan Qian snorted coldly and walked out, "What are you doing? Who allowed you to waste the food in the tribe?"

"What?" Jiang Qing was stunned when she heard Fanqian's duties!

When it came to food, neither Grass nor Lance spoke.Although it is the rainy season, the food is still sufficient, but it is not so extravagant that waste is allowed!
"Fan Qian, what's the matter?" Ya came over from a distance and greeted Jiang Qing.

Ya is a tribal physician with a detached status.As soon as she appeared, a lot of females gathered around, they came forward to say hello, and hugged Ya to the campfire where Jiang Qing was.

"Beast mother, this female dares to waste food, she must not be lightly forgiven!" Fan Qian looked down at Jiang Qing contemptuously.She is the most beautiful female in the Wind Tribe, a mere foreign female, dare to compete with her for wolf ink, she really wants to die!

Ya frowned and looked at Jiang Qing.

"Jiang Qing, tell me what's going on?" Yarou asked in a soft voice. In the tribe, no one is allowed to waste food.Food is a gift from the Beast God, no one can waste it, or they will be punished by the Beast God!
Jiang Qing got up, ignored Fan Qian, and pointed to the salt particles on the slate, "This is salt, and eating it regularly is good for your health. If you don't eat salt, your body's sodium content will be too low, leading to loss of appetite, weakness in limbs, and dizziness." In severe cases, symptoms such as anorexia, nausea, vomiting, accelerated heart rate, weak pulse, muscle spasms, blurred vision, weakened reflexes, and even death may occur..."

Ya's expression gradually became serious. Although she couldn't understand everything Jiang Qing said.But she can understand somewhat, weakness in limbs, anorexia, nausea... She has seen these things in females in the tribe, and even some males.

The difference is that the symptoms of males are much milder than those of females.

"In my previous tribe, whether it was fried, boiled, stewed... all food must be salted!" Jiang Qing explained seriously, "Also, the salt in our tribe is pure white, and the salt stone in your mouth is a salt block , is unpurified salt block, it contains a lot of impurities, and it needs to be distilled to obtain pure white salt particles..."

Ya has seen the clothes on Jiang Qing, such exquisite things, not to mention the Chasing Wind Tribe, even the most powerful Yan Tribe in the Beast God Continent has never appeared.

"Scaremongering!" Fan Qian said disdainfully.

"Shut up!" Ya maroon glanced at Fan Qian. As a tribal doctor, Ya knew a lot more than others.If the salt in Jiang Qing's mouth is really so important, it means that the female's body will become better after the tribe. Although she can't go hunting like the male, she can go farther and find more food.

"Jiang Qing, is this true? The salt stone is really the salt in your mouth?" Ya's body trembled a little. Although she still hesitated, she believed Jiang Qing's words to some extent.

"Let her try..." Suddenly, a hoarse voice came in.I saw Granny Qian walking slowly with a hunched waist and a thin body.

"Grandma Qian..."

Seeing who was coming, the people gathered in the center gave way one after another, and a few who stood close hurriedly stepped forward to support Granny Qian and walked towards Jiang Qing.

"You are?" Jiang Qing looked at Granny Qian suspiciously. The female in front of her was very old, with wrinkled face, and she was about the same height as Jiang Qing.A pair of eyes, after years of vicissitudes.

"Jiang Qing, this is Granny Qian!" Ya hurriedly explained that the females in the tribe take turns to light a fire and barbecue, and often arrange fifteen females to prepare for the males to go hunting.

Seeing that Granny Qian rarely came to the campfire, many females came out of the cave and came to the central open space.

"Grandma Qian!" Jiang Qing called softly. The name was not unfamiliar. The medicine she drank not long ago was made by Granny Qian. After drinking it, she somehow understood the words here.

Therefore, she is in awe of Granny Qian!

"Jiang Qing is right, don't pay attention to others, just try... If anyone has an opinion, let him come to me!" Granny Qian's voice was not loud, but no one dared to refute.

After hearing Granny Qian's words, Fan Qian was so angry that her teeth itch, she wanted to do something but was helpless!On the other hand, Cao and Lance looked at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes!
