She used to have a cute golden retriever and would often buy some meat at the market and make snacks for the dog.

Cut the meat into long strips and bake it in the oven.

You can get jerky that is crispy, full of meat flavor, and can be stored for a long time.

The drying method does not require a large amount of salt for pickling, and as long as it is stored properly, it can be kept for a long time.

After Zhou Yue told this method to Zhao Dashan and others, everyone started to get busy again in the night.

In this era there were no ovens, so baking was done using wood fire.

"Brother Tiezhu, try to cut it thinner so it will be easier to dry." Zhou Yue reminded.

"Hey, good!"

Wang Tiezhu held a kitchen knife in his hand and cut the meat very quickly.

Zhao Dashan made a baking rack with wooden sticks next to the campfire.

The long strips of cut meat were hung on wooden sticks, and underneath the sticks was a bright red bonfire.

"Ayue, I'm here to help too!"

Lin Xiuhua and more than a dozen soldiers rolled up their sleeves and walked over to them to help with the work.

With the help of these people, the more than 150 kilograms of pork were cut into long thin strips.

The strips of meat are hung on wooden sticks and roasted. Just keep adding firewood to the campfire.

We picked about eighty or ninety kilograms of mushrooms, but only ate ten kilograms. Mushrooms are food that can be dried and stored.

However, in November, the sun is not very good these days and it is often cloudy.

So I also use this method and put it on the grill to bake and dehydrate it.

"It's too late. Let's go to bed. We have to get up early tomorrow."

Zhao Dashan stood by the campfire, adding firewood to it and urging everyone to go to bed quickly.

"Then you have to wake me up to take over later, otherwise I won't sleep!"

Wang Tiezhu felt very distressed when he saw the red bloodshot in the squad leader's eyes.

Zhao Dashan patted Wang Tiezhu's shoulder with relief, "Okay, okay, I will definitely call you."

When sleeping, Zhou Yue also reminded the system to remember to wake her up in the middle of the night. As a member of the kitchen team, she should also rotate with everyone.

When I got up the next morning, the meat strips and mushrooms had all been baked dry, completely dehydrated and hard, and could be stored for a long time.

The dehydration rate of mushrooms is very high. After drying ten kilograms of mushrooms, only more than one kilogram of dry goods can be obtained. After drying, the mushrooms we harvested yesterday were less than ten kilograms.

But when you want to eat it, soak it in water and it becomes more.

There were almost 100 kilograms of dried pork, and relying on it, we lived pretty well in the next few days.

Every time I cook, I add some pork and mushrooms to the wild vegetables and batter.

Although there was not much meat in it, it had some meaty flavor and the soldiers felt very satisfied.

Compared to before, the food has improved a lot recently, and her physical condition has also improved a lot. The symptoms of blackheads and dizziness have eased, and she no longer faints easily.

I walk dozens of kilometers every day. Although I feel tired, I can persist.

"Medic! Medic!"

"Don't get too close, spread out!"

During the afternoon's progress, everything was going well, but suddenly there was a commotion in the team ahead.

Zhou Yue saw a lot of people gathered in front and felt a little anxious.

"What happened up front?"

"Someone fainted!"

Zhou Yue pulled her brother through the crowd and walked forward, and saw the scene in front of them.

The man lying on the ground was a soldier from the previous battalion. He was now lying on the ground vomiting and twitching.

His body was twitching violently, looking very scary, his face was sallow and his lips were pale, and many parts of his body were severely swollen.

Zhou Yue glanced at the health bar above his head and her heart skipped a beat.

This warrior's health is only 12!

It's very dangerous! If you don't get treatment quickly, you might die!

Next to the warrior's health value, there was a plus sign. After Zhou Yue locked his sight on him, detailed information about his health popped up.

This soldier is less than 30 years old, but he has various diseases, including hyponatremia, anemia, malnutrition, rheumatism...

The first one on the list is hyponatremia, which is caused by long-term insufficient salt intake. When the disease is serious, it can be life-threatening!

Salt is very scarce in the army. The salt tank in Zhou Yue's kitchen squad is almost empty, while some kitchens have already run out of salt.

The military doctor hurried over with a medicine box and examined the soldier.

The military doctor frowned, with a very sad expression on his face. Such a young soldier was tortured by the disease like this just because of the lack of salt!

His eyes were red and his voice was choked.

"Alas, it's still because of lack of salt! I don't have any medicine here, let's give him some salt water to see if he can recover."

The leader of the kitchen squad in the soldier's camp had a look of anxiety and helplessness on his face.

"We are out of salt! What should we do?"

Zhao Dashan, who was surrounded by the crowd, walked over and said, "Don't worry! We still have it!"

Zhou Yue also echoed, "Yes! Give me his kettle quickly, I'll add some salt!"

The squad leader of the kitchen squad quickly took off the water bottle from the soldier's waist and handed it over, his face full of gratitude and tears flashing in his eyes.

Zhou Yue took this special kettle. This kettle was not made of iron, but of cow horn. It looked simple and sad.

Zhou Yue took the ox horn kettle and walked to the basket containing the salt jar. While adding salt, she secretly put the medicine she had just bought from the mall into the basket.

After shaking the kettle well, have them give the water to the patient.

The soldier's condition was serious, but the main force had to move forward and could not stop, so two soldiers were sent to accompany him to rest on the spot and wait for his condition to improve before catching up with the main force.

As they continued to move forward, Zhou Yue observed the soldiers around him and found that most of them suffered from hyponatremia.

It’s just that some people have milder symptoms, while others have more severe symptoms.

Zhou Yue was filled with emotion. In modern times, salt is the most common daily necessity and there is plenty of it available.

And it is so scarce here!

If this continues, the soldiers' bodies will be worn down by lack of salt!

But salt is different from wild animals. If a bag of salt appeared in the forest, it would be very strange.

If you secretly add salt to food, everyone will be able to taste it.

How can we distribute the salt in the mall to everyone in a natural and reasonable way?

This problem is such a headache!

However, this problem found the best solution one night two days later.
