There is only one Tyrannosaurus rex skull in the tribe that can be used as a bone pot. The skulls of other animals are either too small or have holes that cannot hold water at all.

In desperation, Hami asked Hu Yi to use his sharp claws to plan a thick block of ice for him, and dug a deep hole in the middle of the ice block to use as an ice bowl, otherwise he would have nothing to do but stare at the sea water.

The sun was strong at noon, and Hami also tried drying the salt to see if he could get it out.

He still learned how to dry salt from his grandparents, who lived near the sea in a small village that made a living selling salt and dried seafood.

And his mother, in order to let him experience the life in the seaside countryside, would send him to his grandmother's house for a while during the winter and summer vacations when he was a child.

Hami lamented that learning more is the same, and he might be able to use it someday.

The normal process of sun drying salt is very complicated. It needs to go through seven steps: beach building, beach rectification, tide collection, brine making, brine measurement, crystallization, and salt fishing. On the barren beach, but there is no barren beach here, there are endless snow-capped mountains and glaciers everywhere.

Hami took Chiguo to find a pile of stones similar to black volcanic rocks with heat-absorbing functions, and surrounded them with stones to form a rectangular embankment, and paved the ground with stones inside the embankment.

Then Hami and Chiguo poured seawater into the embankment with ice bowls. In summer, the salt can be dried out in ten hours. It is colder here, let’s see if it can be dried in a day and night.

"Hami, there's no water in the bone pot." Huyi added firewood while looking at the pot, "Do you still need to add sea water?"

"No more," said Hami, who had been working all afternoon without stopping. His body was covered with sweat, and his down jacket was dried. He went back to the igloo to change out of the animal skins, put on the down jacket, and walked towards Huyi.

It's been cooking for five or six hours and it's time to salt it.

Hami stirred the bone pot with two chopsticks, and off-white crystals appeared. Judging by the amount, it weighed about two to three catties.

"Wow, Hami, is this salt?" Chiguo dipped a little bit into his mouth with his fingers, "Yeah, it's so salty. It's much saltier than salty stones."

Hami laughed, "That's because the salt we cook has a higher purity than salty stones, so it tastes saltier."

"Purity?" Chiguo Mosquito Coil with Two Eyes, "What is purity?"

Hami showed her the nail of his thumb, "I'll give you an example and you'll understand. If we usually use one salty stone for barbecue, then the sea salt only needs as much as the nail. This is called purity." high."

Chiguo's head turned quickly, "Does that mean that exchanging salt requires more prey than exchanging salty stones? If we go to the tribal fair, can we also exchange salt for prey from other tribes?"

Hami nodded, "Yes. It's just that the efficiency of boiling salt is low, the output is small, and it is very useless. It is still difficult to produce salt on a large scale."

Perhaps someday, their tribe will be strong enough to produce salt on a large scale.

"It's okay, I don't have any ambitions. As long as we don't need to exchange prey for salty stones, it will save a lot of animal meat, which is the food for the snow season."

Hami nodded, "Self-sufficiency shouldn't be a problem. After boiling salt for a few more days and cooking enough for more than half a year, I plan to discuss with Fujiyan about leaving here and looking for a new place to live."

Chiguo nodded, "Okay."

Looking at the pot of snow-white sea salt, Hami wondered, where should I store the salt?Salt is also afraid of moisture, and there is no airtight container.

"Look, Tengyan and Langmu are back." Huyi pointed at the two fast-moving figures in front of him.

Hami looked at the two black dots that were too small to be seen in front of him, admiring the farsightedness of the orc's eyes.

In the blink of an eye, Tengyan and Langmu came before them with the wind and cold all over them.

The faces of both of them were a little ugly, and when they returned to the tribe, they sat silently by the fire to warm up.

Seeing the empty hands of the two, Chiguo was a little dejected, and said to Hami, "Today is another day of hunger."

Hami is very hungry now, his stomach hurts a little, and he really wants to add something to his stomach.

He took out the bone pot and scooped a handful of snow into it. After the snow melted and boiled, he took out milk tea from the space. Fortunately, there were sixty packs of milk tea in this box, which was enough for them to drink several times.

Smelling the rich aroma of chocolate, Chiguo's stomach growled shamefully.

She covered her stomach and looked at Hami curiously, "What is this so fragrant?"

"Milk tea." Hami took the bone pot from the fire, poured the hot milk tea into the ice bowl, and saw that the ice bowl hadn't melted or cracked. Drink it hot and quickly warm up your body."

Then he handed a bowl to Langmu and Huyi, and said to Chiguo, "Let's wait for the next pot with Hutou."

Chiguo hugged the tiger head and nodded, the little tiger head is very sensible, even if he didn't give him milk tea as a priority this time, he kept licking his lips greedily, but he just curled up quietly in the red with his big round eyes open. In Guo's arms, there was no complaint or begging for him, which made Hami like this little guy even more.

"Is this the food of your tribe?" Fujiyan looked at the dark, fragrant water and the never-before-seen packing bag thrown on the ground by Hami, and asked with mixed feelings, "Your original tribe must be very powerful. "

The leader of your original tribe must also be powerful.It's not like me, so useless, I can't even hunt for food after going out for a day.

Hami boiled another pot of milk tea, smiled and said to Fujiyan, "Yes. Our tribe will be so strong in the future. Drink it quickly and see if it suits this taste."

Fujiyan nodded, took a sip, and then took a few more sips. It seemed that he liked the taste.

Milk tea, especially chocolate-flavored one, is not very hungry, but it contains high calories. Drinking a bowl on a cold night will warm up the whole body.

Langmu held up the empty ice bowl and said to Hami, "Thank you, it's delicious."

Hami shook his head with a smile. The milk tea in the pot was ready. He served three bowls for Chiguo, one for Hutou and one for him.

"Teng Yan, why don't you go hunting tomorrow?" Hami said abruptly while drinking milk tea, looking at the silver moon.

"If you don't go hunting, you will have no meat to eat, and you will be hungry." Fujiyan's eyes were deep, and he explained the facts that everyone knew in a calm tone.

"I know." Hami turned his head to look at Tengyan, his eyes sparkled with hope, "Let's catch fish to eat, and dry salt at other times. When the salt is enough, let's leave here."

"I agree." Chiguo was the first to raise her hands in agreement without waiting for Fujiyan to answer. She stretched out her tongue and licked her lips, and said impatiently, "During the day, Hami cooked kelp fish soup for us. It’s the best food I’ve ever eaten, and of course, the milk tea is also super delicious.”

"Tengyan, you and Langmu shouldn't go out tomorrow, catch some fish and beasts nearby and stew it, it will be enough for us to eat, and there is not enough firewood, it is best to pick up some firewood tomorrow to cook salt. "

Fujiyan tilted his head slightly, "Salt?"

"Ah."

Hami returned to the igloo, took out the sea salt that was temporarily placed on the animal skin, and said to Tengyan and Langmu, "This is salt. It tastes like salty stone, but it tastes better than salty stone."

"With it, we don't need to exchange a lot of prey, and we don't need to prepare dragon beast meat for the winged race."

"The most important thing for us now is to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and rich species to settle down, so that we can safely spend the whole snow season and consider the long-term development of the tribe."

After seeing the salt, Fujiyan and Langmu were a little excited.

"That's great Hami! You're right, just do as you said, let's set off to find a new territory after drying enough salt."

Hami nodded with a smile. He likes the appearance of Teng Yan, who doesn't have the airs of a clan leader at all.
