Traveling through the world of beasts: Encyclopedia System
Chapter 57: Bacon
It is not difficult to make bacon, but Huan Chuan saw that it was written that it might need to be scrubbed with strong alcohol. This made him feel troubled. In this world, let alone strong alcohol, he had never encountered even the grains and fruits used to brew alcohol.
He had no choice but to simply process the cut meat and smoke it. After the surface turned black, he hung the meat in a cool and ventilated place.
Huan Chuan didn't know if he could succeed, so he was a little anxious in the first few days. Even when he was handling the cotton, he was a little absent-minded. He had wanted to ask the system whether it could guarantee that the pickled meat he prepared would not go bad.
Just when he was still very nervous, the wolf tribe suddenly became lively, and everyone gathered at the place where the meat was hung. Yu Qi ran over, pulled Huan Chuan and ran: "Oh no! Something big happened! The meat is lost!"
When he ran to the place where the meat was hung, he saw people standing in three layers inside and outside. The scene of the day when Huanchuan was punished appeared again. There were two orcs kneeling on the ground, still shouting something, but the person who was going to punish them had already raised the whip.
"What exactly happened here?" Huan Chuan frowned. He was still deeply impressed by what happened last time, and his face looked a little unhappy for a moment.
Yu Qi leaned over to Huan Chuan's ear and said, "I heard that there was not enough meat left to dry. The two of them are responsible for looking after the food. Some people speculated that they might have stolen some."
Huan Chuan raised his eyebrows: "I came over to check yesterday afternoon, there is no problem with the quantity? Besides, if they eat it directly, won't they find it salty?"
Yu Qi shook his head: "No, a change in quantity would definitely be obvious. They cut off some meat from each piece. Today, I saw that the meat has become smaller, so I am suspicious of them."
Huan Chuan slapped his head and said, "So that's what's going on!" He pushed the crowd aside and squeezed into the middle: "Wait! Wait a minute!"
The first whip had already fallen, but was quickly stopped by Huan Chuan: "Wait, they really didn't eat anything secretly! Pickled meat will shrink!"
The crowd immediately started talking: "Wouldn't that mean we would have even less meat to eat?"
"Yes, we are still counting on these pickled meats to be enough for us to eat for the whole winter? Will they be gone by winter? And we have wasted so much salt?"
Huan Chuan sighed, turned his head and looked at the orc who questioned him. His usual cheerful and gentle expression turned stern: "This meat will not disappear. In a few days, the size of this bacon will reach its limit. This kind of meat can not only survive the winter, but it can also be preserved for several years!"
The orc who questioned him fell silent, and Huan Chuan looked at the tribe leader: "If the tribe leader also thinks that this is a waste of food, we can choose to give up."
The clan leader knew that Huan Chuan was very dissatisfied with him because of the previous events, so he didn't say anything in the end.
Huan Chuan took another look at the hanging bacon. Both the taste and color were fine, which made him feel a little relieved. He also wanted to pickle some vegetables, but there were no suitable jars here, and the amount of salt was not abundant, so he had to give up.
Now they are still eating fresh meat. Because they need to prepare a large amount of bacon, the hunting team has almost no rest during this period.
Because of this incident, some members of the wolf tribe, who had no one to protect them, became panic-stricken. Huan Chuan took this opportunity to gradually instill in the sub-beasts the idea that they could protect themselves and gain respect and rights.
But not many people changed their minds until Huanchuan made a fur vest out of cotton.
To be honest, there was not much cotton and it was used up after filling a vest. Moreover, Huanchuan's craftsmanship was so poor that in order to prevent the cotton from leaking out, he sewed it repeatedly many times, and in the end the whole garment looked ugly.
However, its warmth retention is still recognized by many people.
While Ye was not in the tribe and everyone was busy storing food, Huan Chuan quietly prepared a cellar for himself. He did not plan to provide anything new to the wolf tribe, but he could not just sit there idle until he left the wolf tribe.
After that, he would quietly put everything he made into the cellar.
Ren almost moved to live near his tent: "What good thing will it be this time?" He was rubbing his hands and couldn't wait to come up with something new.
Huanchuan took out a small model. The roughness of the model was comparable to Huanchuan's paintings, but relatively speaking, three-dimensional things are easier to understand than two-dimensional things.
"Don't make this thing into a finished product. Bring the parts and come to my place to assemble it. Don't let anyone see you." Ren looked at Huan Chuan. What he was making now was absolutely unprecedented. In the past, what he asked him to make was to protect himself or make life better, but now what Huan Chuan asked him to make is gradually becoming more brutal. Ren took the small model he made in his hand and didn't leave. He hesitated for a long time before he said his purpose of coming this time: "I want to find an apprentice."
Huan Chuan was stunned. He did not expect Ren to bring up this matter suddenly. But he changed his mind and realized that he was considered old in this world. It was normal for him to want to train a successor. Even people of Wu's age wanted to find Huan Chuan to be his apprentice. Inheritance took priority over anything else. This was primitive thinking, and it was closer to the idea of continuing the race.
"Okay, but don't tell him about us. If the news leaks out, I will find someone to quietly get rid of you." Huan Chuan went back to study his loom. He more or less understood the principles of these things, but that didn't mean he could do them.
Ren looked at Huanchuan, turned and left.
The meat has basically been processed. Although the bacon is not enough for everyone's daily consumption, it is just enough to supplement it when there is no food.
But it did use a lot of salt, and after they found a better way to store food, this method might have to be shelved. These were not what Huanchuan needed to consider, the people of the small tribes he met at the market were coming.
In fact, although the wolf tribe welcomes other small tribes to come and join them, the time is definitely not right. They cannot trust each other, and naturally there is no way for them to go out hunting together. Moreover, that tribe will not seek refuge in other tribes because they are desperate. Generally, such tribes cannot bring more benefits to the wolf tribe.
But now the wolf tribe is very short of people. Whether it is to protect the safety of the tribe or to go out hunting, there are not enough people.
Even many orcs who had not completed the trial of adulthood went out hunting. Their gathering team was in need of manpower right now, so having other tribes join was also something they were considering.
