Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

Liu Caixia also greeted the new aunt. Just now, Village Chief Hu went from house to house and called a few capable aunts to help.

Liu Caixia taught them to remove the bones from some meat, cut it into strips and marinate it with salt, and also took out some Jerusalem artichokes, chopped them up and put them in to marinate.

And he said to the aunts, "Aunts, you guys marinate the meat like this first, I'll go pick some seasonings nearby!"

Liu Caixia had seen a pepper tree before. There were condiments in Xiaolu’s space, but it was difficult to take them out. She had looked down on them before. But now it’s different when marinating meat. Putting some peppers in will make it taste much better.

Liu Caixia was very quick and soon picked a small basket of Sichuan peppercorns. She took out the peppercorns and crushed them with a stone. She then put the crushed peppercorns into the previously marinated meat and continued to stir and marinate it.

After the marinating is done, take out the iron pan for cooking, put the rice in and stir-fry until the water is dry, then remove and dry.

Since there were no tools, they could only build a stone kang to grill the meat. They put a very thin stone slab on it and placed the meat strips on it, then started a low fire underneath and grilled it slowly.

"Aren't there three bonfires outside? We can also skewer the meat and roast it directly on the fire!" Liu Caixia asked an aunt to load up a lot of meat and take it to the other bonfires to roast.

In this way, Liu Caixia and her aunts marinated a pot of meat and sent it out for them to roast. They did not stop until they had roasted six or seven fires.

Some bones with some meat still on them were also roasted and eaten, and then the bones were thrown away. Some meat was sorted out and then roasted again after these were finished.

As the small fire gradually burned, the weak but steady heat source began to warm the surrounding air and quietly exerted its magic on the strips of meat on the stone slab.

The stone slab gradually becomes warm and then boiling hot under the high temperature, gently forcing out every bit of moisture while retaining the tenderness and original flavor of the meat.

An indescribable aroma began to permeate the air, a wonderful blend of the aroma of meat, fat, and the unique mineral aroma of slate, which made people take a deep breath, as if even their internal organs were cleansed and refreshed by the aroma.

These people sat around the stone kang, their eyes flashing with anticipation and joy, occasionally turning the meat strips to ensure that they were heated evenly, so that each side could be roasted golden and crispy while still juicy inside.

As time goes by, the color of the meat strips gradually changes from bright red to an attractive amber color, the surface appears with an attractive oily sheen, and makes a "sizzling" sound. That is the melody of the oil jumping under high temperature, and it is also a preview of the birth of delicious food.

They all swallowed their saliva and waited patiently, their hearts filled with infinite longing for the delicious food they were about to taste.

Village Chief Hu was very satisfied as he watched the meat jerky begin to sizzle and emit a fragrant aroma. He said, "Alright! Everyone go and rest in batches. I will arrange for people to take turns to watch over these meat jerky and check them to prevent them from burning. After they are cooked and dry, we can roast the rest!"

Village chief Hu arranged people to do these tasks. Liu's mother asked others to rest and she went to keep watch. The injured Lin Weizhong was no exception.

Liu's mother is enough, and it doesn't take too many people to take turns to look after the meat. Each person can watch it for an hour, so one person from each family is enough.

All the wolf meat was cleaned out, and Liu Caixia and several aunts in the village pickled it. The rest was to bake the jerky in batches.

Since Village Chief Hu has arranged for people to take turns roasting, they only need to send one person out, and the others can go and rest.

This day is so tiring!

Until dawn the next day, the people of Hujia Village had roasted dried meat three times. During this time, they ran out of firewood, so they went to the surrounding area to collect some.

As a result, many people did not get a good rest today, but seeing so much dried meat being roasted, everyone instantly felt refreshed.

The dried meat was put into a large rattan winnowing basket, which was made temporarily by the men in the village last night. They used any rattan or other things that could be used to weave things.

A winnowing basket made of many materials is filled with dried meat. Not only children drool at the sight, but adults do too.

The people in the village are very honest. Occasionally there are one or two who steal food. It doesn’t matter if they are not seen. If the village chief sees them, he will point it out to them, but he won’t take it seriously. As long as they don’t steal the food and hide it at home, it’s fine.

Cheating is okay, but hiding is a matter of principle and character. If Village Chief Hu sees someone cheating, he will point it out, which would make him lose face in front of everyone. People have to have dignity and trees have to have bark, and the villagers still know their limits.

The village chief also suggested that if someone reported the incident and it was verified, their family would be expelled from the meat distribution team and no one in their family would be able to get any.

With this warning, no one would dare to steal anything except to eat one or two.

Those who sneakily eat the jerky all have a look of satisfaction on their faces. At that moment, their taste buds seem to be ignited. They first feel the crispness of the skin and a slight burnt aroma, followed by the deliciousness and juiciness of the meat itself. The two interweave into a wonderful symphony in the mouth, making people close their eyes and savor this long-lost delicacy.

Finally, when the last wisp of water vapor completely dissipated, the meat strips became crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, exuding a mouth-watering aroma, we knew that the wait for this moment was worth it.

Village Chief Hu looked at the roasted meat jerky and greeted everyone happily, "Okay, okay, we'll start distributing the meat soon. Everyone get your packed items and line up."

Village chief Hu took an earthen bowl and roughly estimated that there should be some left over after each person had a bowl, so he asked every family in the village to send one person to line up to get the dried meat.

The villagers had everything they could get. Some had sacks, some had bowls, some had basins…

No matter what they used, Village Chief Hu would give the same amount. After every family had their share, the remaining portion would be distributed equally by the Village Chief to those who worked last night.

Naturally, Liu Jia and Lin Weizhong also got an extra small bowl.
