A leisurely life in ancient times

Chapter 31 Cured Meat
"cellar?"

Qing was confused, looked at Jiang Qing, and then at Lan beside her.

What is this cellar?Can it really store things?
"Yes, the cellar." Jiang Qing nodded. The cellar can not only store tubers such as sweet potatoes, but also some vegetables and fruits.

It plays a decisive role for the tribe to survive the dry season.

What's more, if you only make bacon, the cellar is also very suitable for storage.

Listening to Jiang Qing's description of the cellar, Qing and the others' eyes lit up immediately, wishing they could start digging the cellar right away.The food hunted yesterday was almost eaten at the half-year festival bonfire last night, so the meat that Jiang Qing proposed was made today, and Lang Mo led the hunt today.

After Jiang Qing finished drinking the broth, she explained the various benefits of the cellar. Taking advantage of the free time before Qingqian to find a man, Jiang Qing and Lan worked on the leftover meat from yesterday.The weather is hot and the meat will rot quickly if not dealt with quickly.

I didn't know before that some people in the tribe had eaten carrion, but they fell ill not long after. Even the doctors couldn't help them, so they could only watch them die.

After that, no one in the tribe dared to eat carrion.In their eyes, carrion is more terrible than the poisonous plants in the dead forest.

"Aunt Lan, do you have a lighter bone knife?" Jiang Qing was aggrieved. The bone knives in the tribe were very heavy, and the light ones weighed at least a dozen catties.

With Jiang Qing's strength, not to mention cutting food with a bone knife, it is very strenuous to even pick up the bone knife and swing it.

Seeing Jiang Qing's aggrieved face, Lan and the women handling the raw meat laughed.They are all under a hundred years old, and compared to the nearly two hundred years old of the Beast God Continent, they have just entered middle age.

"Jiang Qing, you have to ask Shui about this. The member of the Shui family has the best skill in making bone knives in the tribe. If you want a light bone knife, go to her." Lan nuzzled towards the woman on the left.

Jiang Qing followed the blue line of sight and looked over, she was a woman about 1.8 meters tall, with a burly and powerful body, and she looked like a neat person.

"Jiang Qing, what kind of bone knife do you want?" Shui did not refuse, and asked Jiang Qing.

Jiang Qing waved it a few times and said: "That's troublesome Aunt Shui, I want to be thinner, it's better to be lighter and sharper. Otherwise, I can't swing it."

No way, who made her too weak to swing the bulky bone knife at all.If it's unfavorable, she probably won't be able to cut even vegetables, let alone meat.

Hearing Jiang Qing's half-complaining words, everyone laughed clearly.

"That's fine, I'll tell you when the land returns. It's just that the tribe hasn't found any suitable prey recently, and there's no good skeleton in the tribe." Shui Shuangli nodded.

Jiang Qing thanked her with a smile, but Shui's name was different from her personality.Shui is soft, but Shui has a fiery personality, but this kind of person is easy to get along with.

"Shui, when will your Luo Shan hold the wedding ceremony?" Lan Zuo narrowly asked.

Speaking of which, several couples were formed at the half-year festival bonfire last night, but whether or not the marriage ceremony can be held is another matter.

"Eh! Aunt Lan, is Luo Shan the daughter of Aunt Shui?" Jiang Qing was taken aback when Lan asked.

However, take a closer look.Luo Shan and Shui are really [-] to [-]% similar, but Luo Shan's face is more heroic, probably inherited from Luo Shan's beast father.

"That girl Luo Shan is my daughter, and Dadi and I watched that boy Falcon grow up. There is no rush for the wedding ceremony." Shui smiled heartily. She likes Falcon very much. If Luo Shan and Falcon get married, She is very supportive!
However, getting married is not a trivial matter after all, and she doesn't want to meddle in the affairs of the juniors, just let things take their course.

Luo Shan has been an adult for several years, and no one cares about it for a long time. She and Da Di have been worried.But it's all right now, and they are finally relieved that the kid You Falcon is guarding Luo Shan.

"That boy Falcon is really good!"

Others agreed one after another, and as they spoke, everyone couldn't help turning their eyes to Jiang Qing.

"Jiang Qing, when will you and the patriarch get married?" Shui asked loudly.

As soon as he said that, everyone immediately looked at Jiang Qing.Jiang Qing is the messenger bestowed to them by the Beast God, and they hope that Jiang Qing will stay in the Chasing Wind Tribe forever.And the best way to stay is to marry a man from the tribe and have a baby.

Jiang Qing had black lines all over her head, coughed a few times, looked around at him, and finally just pretended she didn't hear anything.

"Aunt Lan, this piece of meat is cut into such a large piece. By the way, remember to put salt on it. Then wear it with something and hang it in a ventilated place." Without further ado, Jiang Qing changed the subject immediately.

Taking a stone bowl with crushed salt particles in it, Jiang Qing took a piece of cut meat and carefully rubbed salt on it.This meat is said to be the meat of the humming beast, but Jiang Qing guessed that it should be pork, but the pig is too big, weighing about five or six hundred catties per head.

The tribe consumes three or four such pigs a day.One can imagine how good the appetite of the people here is!

When it came to food, Lan and the others didn't bother to joke, and followed Jiang Qing with their eyes.

When Qing brought the three of them over, the more than 100 catties of meat on the stone table had all been marinated, but the hanging ropes were not found.Lan and the others decided to go to the woods to see if they could find a thinner rope for hanging meat.

"Has the meat been marinated?" Qing was surprised and looked at Jiang Qing.

Jiang Qing nodded. The tribe didn't have much seasoning. The so-called marinating was just rubbing some salt on the meat, and then finding a place to hang it with a rope.

"It's very simple, just put some salt on it! As long as you hang it under the ventilation, it will not go bad if you take it out to dry during the day." Jiang Qing explained with a smile, it will go bad, mainly because there is no salt and no drying Stacked together, it will naturally rot and break.

Seeing that Jiang Qing was full of confidence, Qing didn't doubt it.After all, there wasn't much meat left yesterday, so even if it broke, it wouldn't be a big deal.If it works, all the better.

"This is Fang, they are the men who are best at digging in the tribe." Qing pointed to the young man beside him and said.

"Hello!" Jiang Qing nodded with a smile, took two steps back, avoided the fiery eyes of Fang and the others, looked at Qing, and asked, "Aunt Qing, which part of the tribe is the most sunny? The terrain is the driest?"

"Dangyang, it's dry...the south of the tribe is more suitable." Qing pointed to the south of the tribe.

"Well, then go to the south." Jiang Qing said: "However, before digging the cellar, we still need to prepare some things, such as mud, wood, and some hay..."

"Jiang Qing, why do you want these things?" Qing led the way, and the group walked to the south.That is to the right of the open space.

"The wood is used to make the brackets, and the mud and hay are used to make the roof. This can ensure the dryness of the cellar to the greatest extent..." Jiang Qing stumbled and explained. In fact, she had never dug the cellar. She just went in and out of pigs with Aunt Fan when she was a child. field cellar.

The cellar is warm in winter and cool in summer, perfect for storing food.

Fang and the others followed behind, staring eagerly at Jiang Qing. As long as Jiang Qing was not married, they would have a chance to pursue her.This time, after finally having the opportunity to show off, they must do their best to let Jiang Qing see their goodness.

Looking at Jiang Qing, Yan couldn't help but swallowed, and poked her down with her elbow.

"Fang, what are the chances of me defeating the patriarch?" Yan said seriously
Yan tensed his face, his expression was unprecedentedly serious.Fang tilted his head, glanced at him, and said calmly: "I don't know, but the patriarch is really cunning! The action is so fast, I was going to propose marriage last night..."

Speaking of which, Fang became furious.

"Me too, when the patriarch comes back from hunting, I'll challenge him..." He said in a naive voice, it was no better than Fang Heyan.

Jiang Qing was listening in front, only feeling cold all over.

ya ya...

This kind of feeling of being missed all the time, should it be so deceitful and scary?

Qing smiled and sighed, "Oh! It's nice to be young!"
