Pokemon Settler

There are a lot of oak trees growing on Rock's pasture, so in line with the principle of using local materials, he has often used oak since he started reclaiming land.

Now as time goes by, Rock becomes more and more fond of oak trees because they are so useful.

Not only does the tree crown have a wide and flat crown, which can provide very good natural shelter, but the wood is hard and can produce very good quality charcoal.

Another thing that makes Rock very satisfied is that when he participated in the process of making some food, the woody aroma of oak is very strong, which can add a very good flavor to the food.

So this time to make bacon, Rock also chose fresh oak branches and leaves as smoking wood.

Oak has never let him down when it comes to making food.

After being busy for most of the morning, all ten bacon racks finally started working normally, which allowed Rock to take a slight breather.

He put his hands on his hips and looked at the ten bacon racks with billowing white smoke. He decided to take advantage of this time to see how the hay he had dried two days ago was doing.

Heiluga, you stay here and if the smoke subsides, add charcoal or oak branches. I will come back later.

Rock gave Heiluga a few words of advice, then rode on the geranium and ran towards the place where he had dried the fodder.

Charcoal burning and bacon are both Heiluga's specialties, so Rock felt very comfortable leaving these bacon racks under its care.

The place where fodder is dried is at the southwest end of the pasture, not very far from the camp. Geranium arrived after a short run.

The weather has been very good these two days, and every day has been a cloudless sunny day, so the haystacks stacked by Rock and Nidoking and Nidoqueen are drying normally and step by step. The color of the pile has begun to turn yellow.

At this time, many Bobo and Bibi birds were pecking at the grass seeds inside the haystack. When they saw Rock and Geranium arriving, they immediately flapped their wings and flew away.

Rock didn't care about this. Although most of the nutrients of forage are concentrated in grass seeds, the Meili sheep and Rongrong sheep mainly eat the stems and leaves of forage, so some grass seeds are not eaten by birds. nothing.

Rock randomly checked a few haystacks and found that they were all dry and very good. Judging from this situation, they can be bundled tomorrow.

This hay should be enough for the sheep to consume in the winter, but to be on the safe side, maybe I should collect some other food for them.

After checking the drying condition of the hay, Rock sat back on Geranium's back and returned slowly with it.

It was his impromptu idea to collect some additional food for the sheep. Since it was the first time to raise the herding elves for the winter, he was not sure whether the Bili sheep and the Rongrong sheep could survive the winter safely eating only hay. Not particularly confident.

However, Rock has not yet decided on what kind of food to reserve.

After returning to the temporary bacon site on the river bank, Rock stopped running around and concentrated on smoking bacon.

Although making bacon requires paying attention to fireworks from time to time, adding or removing charcoal and fresh branches depending on the situation, there is also a lot of free time in between.

Rock, who was a little restless, planned to refine the fat from two horned deer and three long-haired pigs during this period of time.

I am still looking forward to the roasted oil. Whether it is deer tail oil or lard, they are both very delicious or very potentially delicious animal fats.

He couldn't wait to pick the side dishes from the vegetable garden and prepare the ingredients for cooking the oil.

At this moment, Rock discovered a not serious but very important problem, that is, he ran out of salt.

Refining deer tail oil and lard does not require salt, but if you want the refined oil to be preserved for a long time without deterioration, you need to add some salt to the oil.

In addition to the two horned deer tails, the three long-haired pigs had a lot of fat on their bodies. The oil produced was obviously not something that could be consumed in a short time.

So if Rock doesn't want to cause waste, it's best to find a way to solve the salt problem.

It's just where I can get some salt.

Looking at the empty salt shaker, Rock rubbed the stubble on his chin and began to think.

His ranch is relatively remote, and he can't walk two steps to the store to buy salt.

At Geranium's current speed, it would take eight or nine hours to travel to Sunshine Town at the fastest, which is obviously unrealistic.

But going to the store to buy salt is the only way Rock can think of to get salt. He is just a novice rancher who has been working as a rancher for more than half a year, and is not a chemist. It is obviously difficult for him to make salt out of thin air.

Why don't you go to Kawa's house and borrow some? Forget it, I'll check the information first.

Roque didn't particularly want to borrow salt from Kawa's house. Firstly, it was far away, and secondly, food like salt was not usually kept in large quantities at home. If he borrowed less, it might not be enough, and borrowing too much would not be appropriate.

So he planned to check the information that Rui had downloaded on his computer to see if there was any simple way to make salt quickly.

Unfortunately, the result still disappointed Rock. Rui's information did contain salt-making content, but it did not meet Rock's current conditions.

Just when he was about to close the computer and shamelessly go to Kawa's house to borrow salt, suddenly the last content of the document opened on the screen gave him a hint of inspiration.

Huh?! Sea salt, that's right! Why do I always think about chemical reactions and survival in the wilderness, but I forget the easiest thing.

Rock suddenly felt a sense of clarity. He realized that he had just been stuck in a fixed mindset and had ignored the simplest way.

However, this cannot be completely blamed on Rock for his slow reaction, because if he wants to go to the bay south of the ranch to collect sea water, he still has a very terrifying existence to face.

It's because of that guy that I always subconsciously don't think about the marine resources south of the ranch. Do you want to go? There should be natural sea salt there that can be collected directly. It is a good thing.

Rock thought he would have to struggle for a while before he could make up his mind. After all, the giant creature living in the bay had shown its strength in front of him several times.

But to Rock's own surprise, he only thought about it briefly in his mind for a moment and had already made up his mind.

It's strange, what have I eaten recently, why am I so brave? But it doesn't matter, I secretly ordered this salt anyway!

Rock waved his fist vigorously and cheered loudly for himself.

Gamai!

The Geranium on the side was inspired by him, and she raised her neck with confidence and responded to him loudly.

come on!

Gamai!

come on! Come on!

Kamagama!

After Rock and Geranium encouraged each other, they walked through the woods on the pasture and sneakily trotted towards the bay in the south of the pasture.

There is only one update today. I was having dinner with my brother. I drank some wine and felt dizzy ()
