The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

Chapter 873

"This time, we only picked inflorescences, and took them back to dry in the sun. In another month, I will take you to dig the tubers, and you try to remember their positions."

After Xu Yin finished speaking, she began to teach them to identify Panax notoginseng plants.

"Big Wu, is this flower head useful?"

"Well, Panax notoginseng is full of treasures all over the body. You already know that the leaves can stop bleeding and reduce swelling. Its flowers also have the effect of stopping bleeding. In addition, Panax notoginseng can also clear away heat, soothe the nerves, and lower blood pressure... When you have a sore throat, soak some Drinking Panax notoginseng is also very effective.”

Hearing that such an inconspicuous little flower has so many uses, what are you waiting for!

Everyone actively picked up.

Xu Yin popularized science while picking: "It's not necessary to pick them all, just keep a few plants for proofing. The next time I bring you to dig tubers, its flowers will be bright red or deep red. When you go out and see this kind of flowers, you will immediately I know that the tuber below is notoginseng."

The tribal people nodded their heads like garlic, their big witch knows so much!In the past, he must have been the most capable general around Empress Nuwa!
After harvesting a batch of notoginseng flowers, Xu Yin stopped by to look at the trap she had set when returning home, and caught a pheasant that had been hungry for two days.

The pheasant was so fierce that it wanted to yell at her, so Ah Chun stepped forward and said, "I twisted its neck, and brought it back."

Xu Yin hurriedly stopped her: "Forget what I said? If you can catch them alive, you can catch them alive. The weather is hot now, and the meat they hunted back from Dashan is enough for us to eat. We can raise the live ones first. When the weather is cold, it is not convenient to go out hunting. Eat them again."

They understand this, "but they can fly."

"Then cut off the wing feathers."

So, in the next step, Xu Yin taught them how to cut pheasant wing feathers and how to raise them in captivity.

Pheasants can fly, and they can fly higher than ordinary pheasants, and ordinary breeding sheds can't stop them at all.

Wielding a wooden shovel, Xu Yin took the lead in digging a hole more than one meter deep. A 1.5-meter-high wooden fence was erected around the hole, wrapped with thorns, and then drove the pheasants with clipped wings into it.

The height from the bottom of the pit to the tip of the fence is at least [-] meters, and the fence is covered with thorns. Even if the pheasant's wing feathers grow back, it is difficult to fly out.

And by that time, they are already accustomed to being fed by humans, which is easier than foraging in the woods, and they may not want to fly even if they are allowed to fly.

Knows everything, since pheasants can be raised, what about other meats?
So, after going out to hunt, the hunting team tried their best to hunt alive.

Until the hare was found locked in the shed, it made a hole in the ground and escaped.

"..."

The crowd was at a loss.

Xu Yin suppressed a smile and said, "It's my fault that I didn't explain clearly to you. Rabbits can make holes. If you want to raise them, you can build a wooden cage and put them in the cage."

But there are no nails, and the mortise and tenon structure is too time-consuming. If you have this time, you might as well go out and hunt a few more heads.

So, everyone gave up and left a rabbit to live in the model cage made by Xu Yin, which was raised and played by the cubs in the tribe. time.

The tribal people have never eaten smoked rabbit, but the first time they ate it, they thought it was delicious, and their eyes lit up, as if they had opened up a new world of taste buds.

Since rabbit meat can be eaten like this?What about other meats?
The weather is hot, and the hunted meat can be kept for a few days longer if it is made into smoked meat, and the taste is so good that it can be used for everything, so the people spontaneously smoked other meat.

Of course, this is also the relationship between the recent tribal lack of salt.

In the past, people couldn't eat salt, and drinking raw animal blood to relieve the body's demand for salt, how could they think of such a luxury.

The mineral salt brought by Xu Yin is boiled with water to remove impurities, and then boiled to dry the precipitated salt, which is cleaner and more environmentally friendly than sea salt.With salt, roasted meat tastes much better.

What's more, Xu Yin also used stone slabs to make teppanyaki, put a piece of animal fat on it, and baked it on a fire under the slate. The high temperature melted the suet, and put thinly sliced ​​meat on it. When it is cooked, turn it over and bake for a few minutes, sprinkle with salt, and you can start.

"Wow! The meat roasted by the big witch is delicious!"

"I didn't expect meat to be grilled like this."

In the past, they were all skewered on branches and roasted over an open fire. If they were not turned over in time, they were often burnt, some parts were burnt black, and some parts were still raw.Even when baked, it didn't taste as good.

Having said that, this is due to the salt, with the salt, the meat roasted by the open fire is not unpalatable, but compared with the roasted by the big witch, they lost their appetite for the large piece of roasted meat in their hands.

Adults will eat a few bites when they have no appetite, but the reaction of the cubs is very straightforward, pestering their parents to ask for delicious barbecue:
"Father, the big witch can roast fragrant and crispy meat, why don't you do it?"

"Mother, I want to eat the kind of meat roasted by the big witch, it's delicious."

"..."

Who doesn't know that the meat roasted by Dawu is delicious?The problem is they won't.

Being entangled by the cubs, of course, they also want to learn, and they can bake and eat it after learning it. After trying the crispy roast meat once, who wants to eat meat that is both raw and charred?
So, cautiously approached Xu Yin and asked:
"Da Wu, can you teach us?"

"Of course, it's simple."

There is no technical content at all, Xu Yin held a cooking class on the spot——

First teach them to cut off the fat of animal meat, that is, suet. The freshly hunted meat is still fresh, and it can be grilled directly after refining.

But in hot weather, if the suet is left overnight, it may stink.

Xu Yin taught them to make suet first, pour the refined oil into a stone pot to cool, put it in a cool place, and dig a piece to use later.

With oil, you can roast anything you want, except meat, wild vegetables can also be roasted and eaten.

The tribal people were once again opened the door to a new world by their witches.

Didn't expect that bland grass can be roasted and eaten?The taste turned out to be very good!

In the past, they only ate some wild vegetables when it was difficult to poop. Who usually likes to eat this stuff?They are not herbivores.

Now I have learned teppanyaki from Xu Yin... No, it's stone burning, which ignites a strong thirst for knowledge——

Everything is baked, potato chips, garlic sprouts, purslane, and many unknown wild vegetables.

Among them, potatoes and garlic sprouts are the most delicious.The potato slices are baked on the slate until both sides are browned and crispy. They taste crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, just like McDonald's potato chips.

The cubs love baked potatoes.

The same is true for garlic sprouts. It is oily and tender when roasted, and it is more delicious than fried.

After discovering these two delicacies, the tribal people not only opened the door to the new world, but also opened the window of the new world——

Not only wild vegetables, they even try wild fruits.

Not to mention, some of them taste better than raw after roasting, while others are unpalatable.

But no matter what, if you eat too much oily vegetables and fruits, it is certain that the excretion will be smooth, and pooping is no longer a painful thing, which makes them refreshed.

Feeling again: Their big witch is really smart!Know everything!
This made them more determined and confident to follow in the footsteps of Dawu.

If the big witch says east, they will never go west, if the big witch goes west, they will never go east!
Whoever betrays the Great Witch is an enemy of the entire Xu clan!
