Steampunk City [Infrastructure]

The speed of reclamation is very slow, and all the stones and the like need to be removed, and the soil should be dug carefully until it is soft. Of course, the most important thing is that there are only two people, Luo Yu and Salmon, and Salmon is still a child.

But no matter how slow the speed is, it can't match the enthusiasm of the two people day and night, day and night, without counting how much time has passed, Luo Zhan's hands are covered with calluses, and a square piece of cultivated land appears under his feet , the appearance looks quite strange, because no tribe would make the land into such a "strange" appearance.

Luo suffers from pain but is happy, because there is a piece of arable land, and he must be very happy to see the hopeful land he dug out with his own hands, but the Triceratops they hunted last time only has the last piece of meat left.

Unknowingly, so long has passed.

"What should I do?" Looking at the last piece of meat, his brows were all wrinkled, and he felt that they were about to start eating grass roots again, so he had a frowning face.

But it's useless to worry.

Today, Luo Zhan is going to give himself a day off. After being busy for so long, he finally has a piece of arable land. He is going to have a good day of leisure. The next step is to solve the irrigation problem. Once the irrigation problem is solved, he can start breeding. , he found that their clan land is not useless, because it is on an active volcano, and the surrounding temperature has always met the conditions for breeding.

So, early in the morning, Luo Zhan was boiling the salt stone, and he was going to treat the last piece of meat with the highest courtesy.

In the past ten years, the old patriarch gave him food, but now he has to do it himself. Today is just free, and he plans to try the cooking method he learned on the computer.

The salt stones used by their tribe are all volcanic salt, and they can be carried to the crater. The surrounding tribes are too poor, and no matter how good the salt is, it is impossible to exchange for meat. When there is not enough food, nothing is more precious than meat.

The volcanic salt has a pungent smell of sulfur. Luo Zhan crushed it and put it in a clay pot to cook continuously. After cooking, pour out all the fine pieces at the bottom of the pot, and then put the remaining water in the pot to stand .

By noon, there was a thick layer of white sand with yellow impurities on the bottom of the pot, which was very rough.

Luo Zhan tasted it, and his eyes lit up. It was indeed much better than licking the salt stone directly.

He decided to cook some more salt when he had time. Although it was impossible to exchange it for meat in the surrounding tribes, he could eat it himself.

Marinated the piece of meat with salt, and gave it a "massage" like the video I saw on the computer before.

There is no need to avoid the burden of barbecue today, because even if the other party "misses" their meat, there is no need to grab it.

They lit a fire on the platform outside the cave. The way of grilling meat is a bit special. The meat is cut into pieces and baked on a stone board. The fat meat is first boiled on the stone board to get the oil, so the meat is very oily when grilling. The sound is very pleasant.

The difference from roasting directly on the fire in the past is that the oil dripped off the barbecue in the past. If the meat is too thin, the roasted meat will be very hard and very sticky, and you can only eat a bite of meat and a salt stone, because There is no taste at all.

What's more, because of direct contact with fireworks, the meat is absolutely pitch black.

Luo Zong and the others gathered around the fire, and the salmon couldn't even blink their eyes. How about barbecue?But looking at the oily and clean meat on the slate, no matter how you look at it, you swallow your mouth water.

When Luo Zhan handed the grilled meat to the salmon with two small wooden sticks, the salmon was taken aback because they used to eat the meat with their hands.

However, there seems to be no place to grab the meat roasted on the slate like this.

Somewhat clumsily took over the two small wooden sticks. The roasted meat used to be very dry, but today's meat is very different, soft and slippery, and can still be twisted on the two small wooden sticks.

After clumsily taking a bite of the long strip of meat, the salmon was stunned.

After frying and grilling in oil, the unique aroma of the meat fills the whole mouth, which is probably the difference between frying the meat with or without oil.

And the taste is not at all dry and firewood like the previous barbecue. When you bite down, it is silky and smooth.

More importantly, the taste of meat cured with salt permeates every place.

The barbecued meat that was licked with salt stone in the past has a meaty smell no matter how it is grilled, which is impossible to get rid of.

But now it's completely different, like the difference between salt and no salt.

The difference may seem small, but the taste is worlds apart.

It was also the first time for Luo Zhan to try this kind of stone barbecue, and he was so surprised when he ate it in his mouth.

Some regret, the previous meat was wasted, it was like roasting a new world, a new world.

It is true to say that it is a set of different cooking methods.

What's surprising is that Ling Xi was there today, when Luo Xi came out of the cave, Luo Zhan was cautious, the sun really came out from the west.

Luo Zhan and Salmon made almost the same movement, stuffing the meat from their hands into their mouths.

Salmon puffed up his steamed stuffed bun face, and stretched out his hands to the bearer, that's all, nothing more.

Negative Chi was taken aback, what strange misunderstanding did these two people have about him?

Looking at the two short wooden sticks in the hands of the two of them, Negative Xie raised his eyes imperceptibly.

As far as he knew, there was a strange hadith passed down in the oldest tribe, and the ancestors in the glorious age would use tools like two small sticks when eating.

Although they don't know what the two small wooden sticks have to do with eating, they are so proud and arrogant.

Why is this small, unremarkable tribe in the fringes...

At this time, the huge "beetle" in the sky flew down, and the mouthparts under the eight eyes contained a small green-skinned dinosaur. When the mouth was loosened, the little green-skinned dinosaur fell in front of the bear.

During the whole process, the mouths of Luo Zhan and Salmon couldn't close their mouths.

"He doesn't seem to need to grab our meat." Salmon said unconsciously.

Luo Yan looked at the "Beetle", then at the snake mother who was still guarding the bone on the tree at the entrance of the cave, "..."

The green-skinned dinosaur wasn't particularly big, it should be a juvenile with delicate skin and flesh.

It's time to start grilling.

Fortunately, Luo Zhi and the salmon had just eaten, otherwise they would have been drooling in embarrassment.

Salmon said, "It's really majestic, you can see that he has totems on his forehead, and I don't know how big the Xietong tribe is."

On the earth, almost everyone respects mantras very much, but mantras cannot be memorized, so they cannot be drawn, so this kind of admiration has developed into the current totem culture.

Drawing totems on the body is a manifestation of the cohesion of a tribe.

The big tribes have their own totems that have been passed down for an unknown number of years, especially those older tribes pay more attention to the meaning of the totems.

The eye pattern on the forehead is the totem of the Xietong tribe, and everyone is proud of it.

Of course, small tribes also have their own totems, which are spiritual comfort in difficult life.

Salmon was a little sad, "Our tribe doesn't have totems."

Luo Zhan: "..."

It seemed to be there in the past, but later they got poorer and couldn’t get enough to eat, so they had no time to care about other things, so they were forgotten. The old patriarch was very sad when he told him about it. In fact, this also heralds the demise of a tribe.

Looking at the envious and sad eyes of the salmon, Luo Ran thought for a while, and found a charred charcoal pen in the fire.

I started to drum up on the ground, it was to amuse the children.

Luo Zhan painted it according to the eyes of the snake mother.

After thinking about it, he also found a robe for Salmon that he wore when he was a child.

Draw the snake mother's vertical eyes on the back of the robe, and write the word "fish" on the front of the robe.

Of course, his patriarch is also a member of the tribe, and there is no exception.

So, when the bearer had just decomposed the prey and put it on the fire, the laughter of two people, one big and one small, wearing robes with only one pair of eyes exposed, kept coming.

Salmon was so happy, he touched the words on his chest, raised his face, and couldn't stop laughing. The bright smile on the face of a very thin child was particularly eye-catching.

Luo Zhan was still teasing the salmon, "Your word means "fish", it's your name, and my word means "Zi"..."

Negative is really a little confused, he unconsciously pricked up his ears, totem?What is the pattern on the front?

According to the wise men in the tribe, the ancient hadith mentioned that in countless ancient times, the most glorious tribe had a pattern called "text". They are not just patterns, they record geographical mountains and rivers, record The meaning of every word that everyone says is unimaginable and incredible.

It's a pity that something so great and miraculous that it cannot be spoken has disappeared in the erosion of time.

Negative shook his head, a little funny, he was thinking about something, this is just a tribe that has fallen too far, it must be a scribble.

But it's pretty well drawn.

But... coincidence?

Coupled with the matter of the two small wooden sticks just now, he always felt that this humble little tribe seemed to have some secrets.

Originally, he was only interested in the mantras on Luo Zhan's eyes, but now he seems to be more interested.

On the other side, Luo Zhan and Salmon are still enjoying themselves completely obliviously.

"This is how we look like a tribe." Salmon looked at Luo Zhan for a while and looked at himself for a while, feeling very satisfied.

Totems can really give people a sense of belonging, even if they are only drawn temporarily by Luo Zhan, but wearing the same robes and painting the same totems comforts Salmon's mind that is used to being abandoned.

He has been worrying about gains and losses, even dreaming that he is alone in the tribe.

He decided to wear such a robe like their little patriarch in the future, so that others can know that they are in the same group.

It's just that the happy time is always short, especially the negative smell of barbecue wafting over, it's so dark.

Some people are "wasting" meat, while some people worry about being hungry for the next meal.

Luo Zhan didn't know that they were interested in the meat of the boss, and it wasn't 01:30 that the boss's interest in them increased.

In the eyes of the boss, Luo Zhan's tribe has changed from an inconspicuous small tribe to a small tribe with secrets.
