Chapter 71 Cooking Jerky

Chu Yao asked everyone to eat first, because now that there are candles, they can see at night, so the Suiren clan has begun to develop the habit of nightlife.It is no longer like before, when it gets dark, the man will put his arms around the woman and go into the house, while those without a partner will spend the long night rolling around in the dark alone.

The people of the Suiren family felt that since Chu Yao came, their daily life was like a festival, and they were very happy.

Of course, there is no word for "holiday" in this generation, because this era doesn't even have a calendar, let alone a festival.But only by saying so can one be prepared to express their feelings.

Everyone finished their food by the light of the candles, and because they had just traveled a long distance, they all went to rest early for the night.

Maybe it was because she was too tired from walking on the road, Chu Yao slept very soundly this night.When she woke up the next day, the clansmen outside were already busy working.

When Chu Yao came outside, she saw that the tribe was skinning the hares and wild boars that were hunted yesterday. Seeing Chu Yao, some tribesmen shouted loudly: "Goddess is here, Goddess, where do you like to eat meat?" , I'll cut it off and keep it for you."

Chu Yao walked over and saw that the clansmen were not only getting yesterday's fresh meat, but also moved out the meat from the warehouse.

She asked, "What are you going to do with the meat?"

A clansman said: "After peeling off the skin, hang it to make dried meat."

Because dried meat can be stored for a long time and can be taken out and eaten raw at any time, most of the meat in this era, except for fresh cooking, was dried into dried meat and kept for later use.

And because food has been in short supply, many clan members have formed the habit of saving meat, and they usually leave a certain amount of dried meat when they are starving, just in case.

But for the people of the Suiren clan, this problem does not exist now. They have a lot of meat, so they have to make the meat more delicious.

Chu Yao thought about it, thinking that she had eaten smoked meat in a restaurant in her previous life. It tasted very good. It is said that it was hung up and smoked with pine leaves and branches underneath.

The bacon made in this way not only has a good taste and a fragrance, but also is particularly durable.

She immediately called two tribesmen and said to them: "You two go find a tree."

The two clansmen obeyed and went to find Dashu.

Chu Yao asked those clansmen who hung up the food to wait for the sun to dry it: "You wait a while, I will teach you a new way to make dried meat."

After a while, two tribesmen who were looking for the tree brought a big tree as thick as a bowl. Chu Yao asked everyone to help tie the tree between two trees.

Since Chu Yao told the people to use hemp ropes, people used ropes to tie and hang things, which was much more convenient than using vines in the past.

Everyone worked together and quickly tied the tree.

Chu Yao pointed to a pile of meat on the ground and said, "Hang these meats on the tree."

Some people in the tribe thought that the method used by the women of the tribe is not the same as we hang dried meat, the difference is just a different place.

Of course, he just thought in his heart and didn't say it out loud.Because Chu Yao often has some unexpected good ideas.

Sure enough, after everyone hung the tree full of meat, Chu Yao asked everyone to find stones and build a rectangle under the meat.

After all this was done, she ordered people to bring a large amount of pine wood, and then ordered that the pine wood be placed in a stone pit and set ablaze.

After a while, the pine logs ignited, and the flames and pine smoke below curled up, facing the meat hanging on the tree.

It was only then that everyone realized that the Goddess was going to use this method to make jerky, and they all marveled in their hearts at the Goddess's wonderful idea.

You must know that it is very troublesome to hang the meat and wait for it to dry naturally.

First of all, the weather must be good, and it has not been raining. If it rains, the jerky must be put away, otherwise the jerky may become moldy and deteriorate after being exposed to rain.

The method of roasting with fire will be very fast. In one day, the meat hanging on the tree can be replaced several times, as long as the pine branches are continuously added back to the fire below.

And in this mountain, there are so many pine branches that it is impossible to burn them all.

As the tree below gradually grew larger, the meat hanging on the tree began to change color, and then slowly a fragrance diffused out, blowing around with the wind.

Sui Ye, who was directing the work of the men on the construction site at the market, suddenly smelled the smell of meat in the air.

At this time, other workers also smelled it, and everyone sniffed their noses, quickly locked the source of the smell of meat, and quickly made a judgment.

"The goddess is cooking food again."

"But how did the goddess make the meat so fragrant?"

Sui Ye was also very curious about how Chu Yao made the meat smell so fragrant that it was everywhere in the air.

He strode towards where Chu Yao was, wanting to see what delicious food Chu Yao made.

"Ma'am, what delicious food are you doing?" Suiye called Chu Yao loudly before the person arrived.

"Look at you, this is smoked meat, it's just smoked and dried, it's inedible." Chu Yao said.

In fact, in the eyes of the barbarians, smoked meat is edible. You must know that before they discovered the method of drilling wood to make fire, all the meat they ate was raw.

Then he walked around the place where the smoked meat was hung with great interest, and said: "Madam really has a way. In this way, the large amount of meat stored in our clan can be well preserved."

He could tell at a glance that the smoked meat could be preserved for a long time.

"I also know a way, the cooked meat can be eaten immediately, it is extremely delicious, but the storage time is not long." Chu Yao said, she remembered the braised pork that she often ate in her previous life.

In the mountains, she has seen some spices for stewed meat, but the first time she went to the mountains in the past was to find food, and she didn't even solve the basic food and clothing of the tribe, so she would not think about making this.

"Then madam, let me try it out." Hearing that, Suiye's eyes lit up. Ever since he had eaten barbecue and fried potato chips earlier, he never forgot the delicious food made by Chu Yao, and he also loved Chu Yao's delicious food. Craftsmanship is unquestionable.

"But, to do this, you need to go to the mountains to collect spices." Chu Yao said, she was exhausted from walking too far yesterday, and now she doesn't want to walk for a moment, let alone climb to the mountains to find spices.

"I will accompany my wife up the mountain." Sui Ye quickly expressed his position.

"But, I don't want to walk, I'm tired!" Chu Yao said coquettishly like a child, it is really a very happy thing to act coquettishly in front of the man she likes.

"Then what should we do?" Sui Ye scratched his head in embarrassment, "I'll carry my wife on my back, let's go up the mountain."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Chu Yao's consent, she squatted in front of Chu Yao.

And Chu Yao was not polite, she lay on Suiye's back shyly and with a smile.
