Primal Power

Hearing that the red beans were ripe, Lin Luo didn't argue with Chu, walked to the side of the stone pot, stirred them with chopsticks, and found that they were indeed cooked. If he didn't pay attention for so long, even the beans were boiled, so he took out four spoons , Distributed to three people, first filled a tablespoon by himself, and motioned them to try the taste by themselves.

Chu was so greedy for a long time, he took a spoon and directly took a large spoonful, blew on it, poured it into his mouth, chewed it twice, and then swallowed it.

"It's delicious, but it doesn't taste as good as the yam just now," he said, and extended the spoon to the stone pot again.

Lin Luo smiled: "Because there is no salt, wait a minute, I will put some, you are trying." This time, Lin Luo did not take out the salt jar from the warehouse, but directly took one from the bamboo barrel Salted fruit, broke off half a fingernail-sized shell, put it in a stone pot and stirred it. Lin Luo didn't dare to put too much. The smell dissipated quickly. Lin Luo dipped a little on his chopsticks and tried it. It already tasted salty, so he waved his hand to let them try the taste.

They just ate a spoonful of red beans with salted fruit, and the eyes of the three of them lit up. The taste couldn’t be compared with just now. It’s really delicious. I just added a little salted fruit. I didn’t expect such a big change. If it wasn’t for the angel The salted fruit placed in front of them, none of them believed that the small salted fruit had such great power.

It wasn't until the three of you finished the red bean soup with one mouthful and one mouthful, that Ling opened his mouth and said, "This salt fruit is really good."

Of course, firewood, rice, oil and salt are the necessities in life, Lin Luo smiled proudly in his heart.

"Brother, how many salted fruits do you have?" Hu asked sternly. He knew that Lin Luo must still have something private. He didn't care about it at first, but the situation is different now. Salted fruits are not only something that can be made. For seasoning, you can also marinate meat and nitrate animal skins. The latter two are things that can save your life in winter, but now this salt fruit is only available here. Hu still hopes that my brother can bring out some more.

Looking at the hesitant Lin Luo, Hu added, "My brother, do you know how important this salt fruit is? With it, we can start storing meat now, so that our tribe won't starve to death in winter." Yes, with it, we can tan the animal skins, and so many people in the tribe will not die because of the cold in winter." Hu can see from Lin Luo's pleading for the two slaves just now that Lin Luo still cares about human life Yes, Hu also hoped that Lin Luo would take the initiative to bring out some salted fruits.

Lin Luo thought for a while, and took out another bucket of salted fruit. Lin Luo couldn't get out too much, and he only kept around twenty or so. It should last a year. Regardless of the small size of the salted fruit, But there is a lot of salt in it, enough to soak a salt fruit into a bamboo jar as thick as an arm. This is what Lin Luo discovered recently.

Lin Luo originally wanted to boil salt water, but unfortunately his stone pot was too big, so he could only soak it in a bamboo pot. After soaking it all night, when Lin Luo looked at it the next day, he saw a layer of sediment underneath. The smashing was much finer, Lin Luo hurriedly dried the salt, and put it in a whole bamboo pot, and the salty fruit still had a salty taste, Lin Luo guessed that if it was boiled, it should be able to produce more Salt.

"I only have so much. If the patriarch still needs it, he can send someone out to look for it. Maybe there are still some outside. You can boil this salt fruit in a stone pot to produce fine salt. Get it out and sprinkle it on the ground." In terms of meat, it will be much more convenient.”

"I see, I'll let someone look for it tomorrow, but everyone doesn't know this salt fruit, can the envoy go together?" Hu didn't want my brother to leave the tribe, it was too dangerous outside, but this time it was about the tribe Well, send more people to go together tomorrow, there shouldn't be any major incidents, um, Shi should also be sent there.

In fact, if you go to the collection area, it shouldn’t be a big deal. Gu Ming thought that the collection area is a place dedicated to collecting fruits. Those places with a large number of fruit trees have been cleared by hunting teams. There are no large beasts, only some small herbivores, which are specialized It provides a place for females to pick, but this time, I don’t know if there is any salt fruit in the collection area, and it may go to a farther place.

"Okay." Lin Luo has been in the tribe for a few days, and he hasn't gone out with everyone yet. There is no need to worry about safety. With the stone, everything is not a problem.

In fact, now that the salt fruit is so dry, Lin Luo can't recognize it, but Lin Luo has a system, if he doesn't know, Lin Luo can ask the system.

After agreeing to find the salt fruit, Hu signaled Lin Luo to continue explaining the bamboo shoots and wheat fruit. He just smelled the aroma of red beans and was attracted to him, but he didn't hear much of what Lin Luo said.

"Before eating this bamboo shoot, soak it in clear water for half a day, and then cook it, just like I cooked red beans just now, and it can also hold ribs." In fact, Lin Luo also knows a lot of bamboo shoots, such as fried meat with bamboo shoots, fried fungus with bamboo shoots... ...Wait, but the current situation doesn't have that kind of condition at all, so I'd better make soup and drink it myself.

"This is wheat fruit. It can be our staple food in the future. Wheat flour can be used to make dumplings, dumplings, steamed buns, and steamed buns. It can be used to make a lot of food. It is also durable and can be stored until winter." Lin Luo was excited. Except for the biscuits made of wheat flour in the first two days, I thought I didn’t eat other foods in this area. One was because I was too lazy and didn’t want to make them; I don't want to eat it. The key is that I am not skilled enough to cook it. It doesn't taste good.At first it felt fresh, but then I thought it would be better to eat stone-baked meat, so I never touched the wheat fruit.

But this time, with this small stone pot, Lin Luo can make some dumplings for the three of them to try.

The three tigers heard that wheat fruit can replace meat as a staple food, but they didn’t believe it. It’s not that their ancestors had tried to replace meat with other plants during natural disasters, but they all failed. If they didn’t eat meat, their bodies would suffer. You will gradually lose weight, your limbs will become weak, and you will not be able to hunt at all. In this era, you can't kill the prey, you can only be killed by the prey.

However, the storage resistance is very good. If it can be stored until winter, the tribe can survive the winter safely this year. They all know this wheat fruit, and there are many more outside. They can be picked back. The key is to look at this thing. how to eat.

Lin Luo didn't say much, and took out the cutting board, stone knife, meat, and bamboo pots, and put them in a row.

"Envoy, where did you get these things from? Where did you put them before? How could you take them out of thin air?" Wu was really curious, how did so many things come from.

"Secret, who made me an envoy of God?" Lin Luo sighed, ignoring the stiff-faced Qu.When the order arrives, wash the stone pot again and come back with a bucket of water.

Then he asked Ling to hold the piece of meat and chopped it into minced meat. Ling just picked up the stone knife, his face changed, wondering how many good things there are there, the stone knife is too sharp, Ling has never seen such a sharp stone knife.

"Envoy, this stone knife..."

Lin Luo glanced at it, and said directly: "This is made by a stone mill, I want to know how to get it, you can ask Shi when he comes back, if you want, this stone knife will be given to you."

Ling responded, even if this stone knife was given to him, he would have to hand it over to the tribe, whether it can be distributed to himself is another matter, unlike the envoy, who doesn't need to hand in so many things.

Lin Luo asked Hu to break the flour with him. After smashing half of the basin, he started to knead the dough with the water brought back by Yi. After a while, he handed over the job to Hu, and went to see Ling How is the chopped meat? Take out the salt shaker, let the water mix the meat, watch the stone pot start to bubble, the water should be boiling immediately.

Lin Luo didn't use a stick to drive the noodles into thin slices. He just took a small lump of noodles, pressed them with his palm, pulled them, and wrapped the minced meat in it. Wrapped more than ten pieces in one go. .

Xu was too big, and only seven of them were placed in the stone pot, and several people waited beside the stone pot. After a while, the water started to boil again, and Mu said:

"Envoy, this is ready to eat."

"Not yet, wait for the color to change, this bag is thick, you need to cook for a while"

Lin Luo waited until his eyes changed, and poked it with his chopsticks again to make sure that the inside was fully cooked, then he scooped up the dumplings and put the others down.

"Taste how it tastes, share one with each of them"

"It's okay, but there's too little meat." Zhuo commented, after eating the few good things before, it's not bad to give this comment to Lin Luo, a poorly made dumpling.

Hu thought, this food is really edible. In winter, he can reduce the amount of meat inside and use a little more flour, and he will be able to survive this winter.

When several people had different thoughts, the outside of the cave became lively, and after a while, someone came to report.

"Patriarch, the hunting team is back"
