In the beast world, I got rich and became the favorite of the group

Chapter 39: Beast City for Salt (Tip and Change)

An Jin hesitated.

I remember that the people of the tribe said that they like to eat the branches and leaves in the forest everywhere, and they also like to devour some small animals. Their food intake is like a bottomless pit.

She didn't have much time to find enough food for them.

An Jin sighed, breeding was so difficult, she thought over and over again, and with a little luck, she took out the rotten food stored in the Linghong tree hole, and then threw it into the fence.

I saw the silkworm babies excitedly surrounding the food, wriggling much faster than usual.

In just a few minutes, the two or three wild boar carcasses were eaten up by them, not even a bit of bone residue left.

An Jin's eyes lit up when he saw this. This was a rare "garbage recycling station".

Normally, the orcs would hunt as many prey as possible in order to maintain their food supply needs, but they did not have good preservation methods, so a lot of rotten food was created.

Even though salt can be used to pickle food, salt blocks are rare and expensive. Except for Ling Hong's level of orcs, almost no one is willing to use salt to pickle food.

So most of these rotting foods are directly discarded outside the tribe.

A portion removed is eaten by scavengers.

But there is still a part of the corpse wilderness that emits a disgusting and unpleasant smell and damages the environment.

Many of the nearby orcs were miserable.

An Jin made a plan and lobbied everywhere to collect the spoiled food that the orcs didn't want and feed them all to the silkworm babies.

The silkworm babies ate happily, and soon stretched their white and soft bellies so round that they collapsed on the ground motionless.

An Jin not only found a suitable source of feed, but also solved the leftover problem of spoiled food, killing two birds with one stone, and the tribal people were very happy, and the original voices against raising these white worms disappeared immediately.

Time passes day by day.

An Jin raises chickens and silkworms at the same time, and spends the rest of her time selecting seeds to find suitable arable land.

Ling Hong also often gets up early and returns late to hunt, but in recent days, he seems to be busier.

"Is there any major event planned by the tribe recently?"

Ling Hong nodded, "One month later, the tribe will go out for exchange, and now we must store the food for exchange in advance."

An Jin asked in surprise, "One month in advance, so early, won't the food rot early?"

"That's why our hunting team has to travel dozens of miles every few days to catch greenhorn cattle outside the forest. Their meat quality can be preserved for a long time, up to a month, but... the meat quality is not very good..."

"Then why not salt other meats?"

The more An Jin listened, the more confused he became, "If you pickle the meat with salt, the meat will last for a long time, so you don't need to go so hard to hunt so far away..."

Ling Hong shook his head and said helplessly, "There isn't much salt in the tribe and we can't afford such a waste."

An Jin has always used Ling Hong's salt.

Because Ling Hong hunted the most, even without a partner, the amount of salt allotted was enough to support the two of them.

But in fact, the amount of salt in the tribe is already very scarce, and even many females can't eat it, let alone pickle meat.

Every year, the salt of the Luoteng tribe is exchanged from the outside world.

And their itinerary in a month's time is mainly to go to Juju City to exchange for salt, but according to past practice, their large number of prey can only be exchanged for a dozen jars of salt.

The reason is that their food is too common, and almost all tribes go to the beast gathering city to exchange their prey for salt.

Therefore, most orcs in Gathering Beast City don't care about these common prey.

An Jin was silent for a while.

She never expected that in the animal world, the scarcity of salt, a necessary substance for the human body, has become so scarce.

She wants to change this state of affairs.

Even if the tribe is still close to the sea, it is not realistic to extract sea salt. The manpower is tight and the tools are lacking. It seems that the only way to exchange it is to go to Jushou City for the time being.

The cost-effectiveness of exchanging ordinary food is too low. Only rarer and more precious items, preferably ones that other tribes do not have, can attract the attention of the orcs in the Beast Gathering City and exchange for more salt.

……

An Jin searched for a plant and came to the river. The water was still clear, algae and swimming fish could be seen, but the little shark was gone.

It has been almost a month since Hui Wangxi left.

The few days agreed at the beginning were extended several times.

An Jin's heart was suddenly filled with sadness, Xi probably won't come back, his shark beads are still with her.

That's right, he is a powerful creature in the deep sea, and he shouldn't be stranded on dry land to do nothing...

　There is another update. In the next chapter, I will write about Xiaoyuren. Why is Xiaoyuren so shy when he meets An Jin for the first time?
