Traveling through ancient times: the wild boss spoils the sky

Chapter 158
The female who heard Qiao Ya's words turned around and thought, that's really the case.

If there was enough salt to marinate animal meat in the winter days, would they still worry about not having enough meat in the long winter days?

With the strong appetite of the orcs, it must be no longer necessary to cut down on food and clothing.

Qiao Ya said again: "We have salted fruit, which has a mild taste. In the future, we will cook with salted fruit. The taste is stronger. It is also possible to process the salt stone and use it for cooking."

She thinks that the two kinds of salt can be eaten interchangeably, so that it will not be greasy, and occasionally you can change the taste. She believes that the taste of dishes fried with salted fruit will definitely be very different from those fried with mineral salt.

For Qiao Ya, the two salts have their own characteristics, and she likes both.

"Auntie, why don't we try making a meal with this mineral salt at noon to see how it tastes?" Qiao Ya suggested.

"This rock salt is really edible, isn't it poisonous?"

It's not surprising that Mei would think so. This white stone has the same taste as salty fruit. Who knows if there are other substances besides the salty taste. There are many similar things in the forest, but they have completely different effects.

Be careful.

"Auntie, don't worry. I have eaten this kind of salt before. Don't worry, it is not poisonous. I tried it before bringing it back."

Of course, Qiao Ya also knew this, so when he discovered the huge natural open-pit salt mine, he was not overwhelmed by surprise, but tested it and found it was non-toxic.

Moreover, the salt crystals look very pure to the naked eye, with high purity and almost no impurities. It is probably no problem to cook directly by scraping like this.

However, she still plans to dissolve and recrystallize with water when she goes back, so that some impurities can be decomposed, and the recrystallization will not be as hard as a rock like it is now.

If the purity is high and no impurities can be seen, then she doesn't waste time, and directly smashes it into powder, which is convenient for later use.

After hearing that Qiao Ya had eaten it in front of him and tried it before bringing it back, Mei and the others were relieved, and immediately nodded and said, "Then let's try it at noon."

If the salt tastes good, it can solve the problem of salted fruit.

Salt fruit is not easy to grow. Most people can't grow it alive. If you want salt fruit, you can only pick it in a specific place. Where there is salt fruit, it is a relatively dangerous deep forest. The work of picking salt fruit is done by orcs. made.

If the rock salt is useful, Ting Chen and Qiao said that the salt is not far from their village, and the whole mountain is full of rock salt, so they can directly ask the orcs to get enough salt back.

Not only that, but on the premise that they can meet their own needs, they can also bring salt to other villages for trading.

Mei and the others can already imagine that when the time comes, the salt will be exchanged for many, many things from other places.

"Then Auntie, Chen and I will go back to prepare first, and you just need to come back by lunchtime."

After taking a last look at the cute baby, Qiao Ya and Chen returned home. After tidying up their things a bit, they held a meeting to deal with the ingredients for noon. I can already imagine how lively it will be at noon, so I naturally need to prepare more .

It's just that when she got home and went into the backyard to catch a few chickens to kill, she found that there were a few more broods of chicks in her backyard.

When I was leaving before, Aunt Mei, who was in trouble, helped take care of some homes. She looked at the vegetable field in the backyard, and the vegetables were growing very well, juicy, and my aunt probably came to water and weed frequently.

It's just that the livestock in this backyard are a little overrun.

The chickens at home may eat well, so they are good at laying eggs. It is estimated that the eggs laid by some chickens are well hidden, and she and her aunt did not find out, so the chicks hatched.

incredible.

But since there are so many chickens, the old hen and the old rooster don't need so many, and they will be irritable if there are too many.

So Qiao Ya started to catch the chickens without mercy. When he caught one, he twisted the neck of the chicken with a movement of his hand. He caught twenty old hens and three big cocks at such a speed.

In this way, it has not yet caused confusion among the chickens, which is enough to show that she is proficient in her business.

When she returned to the front yard with a basket of chickens, Chen looked at the pile of dead chickens, was silent for two seconds, and then asked, "Do you eat chicken at noon?"

With so many chickens, it will take a lot of time to process, and there will be a lot of meat.

Should be enough?

But Qiao Ya shook his head.

"As soon as possible, you go to the mountain to catch a big one. Uncle Liang must eat it here. I don't know anything else. With you, the orcs will eat big barbecue. I made all these pheasants. We Women eat."

No matter how many orcs come, there are definitely a lot of females, but Aunt Mei, Qiu, Sang, Cha, and Miao, they are all here, plus Qing Hehui will definitely come, there are seven women here , plus her, the appetite of the eight women is not small.

It is written that the pheasant is divided into several dishes, and I don't know if it is enough.

Even if there are many, there will not be enough for the orcs to fit their teeth, so naturally they still have to catch a big guy.

Because I calculated the time when I came back, when I arrived at Kimura, it was only about eight o'clock in the morning.

Chen went to the nearby mountain to catch a prey, and it took a lot of time to deal with it outside, and when he came back, he cooked it and it was ready to eat.

As soon as Chen thought it was really here, he nodded and said, "That's fine, I'll go right away. Are you doing it at home alone? Do you want to call someone over to help?"

Qiao Ya waved her hand, "I don't need to go, they will probably come by themselves in a while, don't worry that I'm too busy, you go quickly."

Sure enough, not long after Chen left, Qing brought a few of her friends over. Hui didn't come this time because she had to take care of the baby, but the few Qing brought were enough.

"Joe, when they heard that you were going to use the salt stone you brought back for cooking, they came here curiously. I thought your place would be very lively at noon, so I asked them to come over to help. Whatever needs to be done, although Order." Qing pointed to a few of her friends and said heartily.

Qiao Ya has met Qing's friends a few times, but after all, they are rather cold-tempered and don't have that much thought for socializing, so except for Qing and Hui, the rest are friendships for face, and occasionally they speak well. A few words.

Now that Qing brought the people here, Qiao Ya didn't have any ideas, and calmly instructed a few people to work, the first thing was to deal with the dead chickens in that area.

"Hey, we eat pheasants at noon. These are all raised by your family, why are you willing to kill them all at once?"

Qing looked at the bright-colored pheasants all over the ground, and his eyelids twitched. It is true that many people in the village raised pheasants and rabbits like Qiao Ya. How many.

Most of them are fed with raw eggs, or slaughtered for snacks when they are empty, so there is no need to raise so many.

It's really confusing for people like Joe to take so much trouble to raise so many, but he is more willing to kill them all at once.

You said you just ate it like this, didn’t you raise it for so long for nothing?

If you want to eat so much meat, you might as well go to the woods and catch a big one with more meat.

Qiao Ya quickly plucked the feathers of the chicken, and said as a matter of course: "Why don't you want to bear it, isn't it just used to kill and eat meat?"

Yes, they are raised to be eaten, but so much food is wasted and raised, so they are just killed?
Even if you want to eat pheasant, there are plenty of forests, and it is easy to catch. If you want to eat, don't you first catch those that don't need food?
