Chapter 393 Lin Family Hunting Team

There are a lot of prey, and if they can all be brought back to the village, it will be enough for each family to eat for a month.

But in fact, these prey on the ground can bring back a quarter at most.

For the other three quarters, a small part will be consumed on the road, and most will be abandoned on the roadside... Overall, about half of it will be wasted.

The main reason is that the anti-corrosion technology is not good enough. Simply put the meat on the fire and roast it a few times, and the shelf life of fresh meat is difficult to exceed ten days.

In addition, this world is short of salt, so it is impossible to use salt as a luxury for preservation, and there is no such thing as preservatives. The loss of prey due to decay is almost unavoidable.

As far as Zhou Ming knows, the methods of food preservation mainly include freezing, pickling, vacuum packaging after high-temperature sterilization, etc., but in this era, these kinds of antiseptic technologies cannot be realized.

However, Zhou Ming thought of a good way to increase the edible period of these meats to more than 30 days.

High-temperature air-dried smoke method.

No need to use salt, just set up a fully sealed stove, and then hang the cut pieces of meat in it.

The principle is to use high temperature to inactivate the microorganisms in the meat, so that the smoke forms an isolation and protective layer on the surface, and evaporates a large amount of water in the meat. Not to mention that it is light and easy to carry, it also retains most of the nutrients.

It can be said that this is the most top-level prey preservation method at this stage.

It's just that it was a bit troublesome to set up the stove. It took two days to delay, and another two days to process all the meat before returning to the village.

On the way back, the burden was relaxed, and there were laughter and laughter.

Zhou Ming became the center of discussion.

"Zhang Shanhe, why haven't I seen you so clever before?"

"You're good at farming, and you're so good at hunting his mother, and you can make such delicious food... Zhang Shanhe, have you been possessed by that fairy?"

"Could it be... that the Lin family made you smart because of the beating you received that day?" Some people also had associations.

"It must be. When I passed by that day, your boy looked like he was going to die, but he didn't die. Instead, he seemed to be a different person. The Zhang Shanhe before was not like this at all."

Someone also approached Zhou Ming and jokingly asked him, "Zhang Shanhe, do you still miss that Tian Nier?"

Zhou Ming shook his head lightly: "Tian Nier... I don't know her." But a beautiful face appeared in his mind, which was the feedback from the original memory.

"Did you really forget her? Zhang Shanhe, didn't you like her the most before? For her, you even gave up your life." The man didn't believe it, and kept asking him.

"If you don't shut up, you won't have a share of the barbecue later."

As soon as these words came out, the man immediately shut up.

"Hey! Stop over there."

"Show me your harvest, is there anything we want?"

A heavy voice came from the dense forest at the side, but it was a strong man wearing a leopard-print leather jacket, standing on a raised object on the ground, speaking to the people here.

Behind the strong and strong man stood more than a dozen men dressed as hunters. They were all strong and strong men. On someone's shoulders, they carried the corpse of a giant beast weighing more than a thousand catties. Knot muscles, like a washbasin.

As soon as this group of people saw the hunting team on Zhou Ming's side, they stopped in their tracks, with disdain on their faces, and wanted to check the harvest here.

"The hunting team of the Lin family..."

Through a few familiar faces, Zhou Ming knew who they were.

Hearing their arrogant and unreasonable words again, Zhou Ming frowned, and asked the hunter Zhang Jin beside him in a low voice: "This mountain forest does not belong to their Lin family, why do they want to check our harvest?"

"Shh, be quiet!"

Zhang Jin made a silent gesture, pulled him over and whispered in his ear: "This is an old rule. No matter what you hit, as long as you encounter it in the mountains, the Lin family will come and have a look. If there is something good, they will Just take it away."

"You let them take it?"

"What else can we do if we don't allow it? The Lin family all practice exercises, and their fists are bigger than ours." Zhang Jin shook his head with a helpless expression.

The Lin family is the head snake of Linbao Village, and they belong to the overlord. Not only do they live in a tall and comfortable stockade, but they also have a dedicated hunting team of the Lin family. They are well equipped and have elite personnel. They act alone and do not have any conflicts with the hunting team here. come and go.

Even if there is a relationship, they are here to check whether there is anything they need in the harvest here... such as some precious and rare furs, or medicinal herbs with good medicinal properties.

The hunter of the Lin family came over and rummaged through the simple trailer by himself.

"Jerky, so much jerky? It's all useless jerky!"

After overturning several trailers in a row, he saw a sack of herbs, pulled them out, opened the bag, and grabbed them out one by one, "Ganweicao, Jinlongcao, Zichehe, Huangjing, Shouwu ...Garbage, why is it all garbage?"

When the medicinal herbs in the bag were almost gone, when he took out a piece of medicinal herb that was like ruby ​​and shaped like ginseng from the bottom of the bag, the man smiled coldly: "You bastards, good things are always hidden at the end... this red plant I want it from our Lin family, you can ask the Lin family for something when you go back to the village, we won’t take it for nothing.”

After finishing speaking, he took the red ginseng and left, muttering: "This red ginseng is more than a hundred years old, and its quality is high. If you sell it in the city, it can sell for at least 100 spirit coins."

These words clearly reached Zhou Ming's ears, and he asked Zhang Jin who was trembling with anger beside him: "Zhang Jin, the good ginseng you dug up was taken away, and he asked you to go to the Lin family to ask for compensation."

"Fucking fart compensation!"

Zhang Jin burst out with a foul language: "Just take some rubbish and send you away, who wants their compensation?"

He growled: "The Lin family, they are all fucking bastards!"

The other hunters also had gloomy faces, remembering similar experiences that happened to them.

You must know that these hunters went to the mountains not only to hunt and solve the problem of food and clothing.

I have to find a way to earn some money from the mountains to supplement my family.

Those rare and precious medicinal herbs have become the main source of income.

But the Lin family is also eyeing these medicinal herb resources. On the one hand, they will send personnel to collect these medicinal herbs door-to-door at a certain price; Valuable medicinal herbs are taken away directly and "purchased" in advance.

Ordinary hunters dare to be angry but dare not speak out.

It's not that they don't have any species, but ordinary hunters like them are not the opponents of the Lin family's hunters at all. The Lin family's adult men who have been practicing since childhood can beat ten ordinary hunters with just one.

Resistance is tantamount to death.

But in Limburg Village, the Lin family did countless things to bully men and women, and it was not a big deal to kill a person. After being bullied by the Lin family, they could only knock out their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs.

The root cause of all this is that the Lin family got a copy. It is said that it was a "cultivation secret book" passed on to them by a person in the world to repay their life-saving grace... This practice secret book is not only easy to learn, but also can be practiced to a high level. The effect is also very good.

Zhou Ming asked Uncle Xia: "Uncle Xia, the Lin family has exercises to practice, why don't you practice them? If you also practice exercises, won't you be bullied by the Lin family?"

Uncle Xia smiled bitterly: "If there are exercises to practice, why don't we practice them? The problem is that we don't have any!"

"Then go steal it, learn it from the Lin family."

"Several people tried that. After the Lin family found out, they were all killed by the Lin family. Outsiders don't want to learn."

Uncle Xia said again: "Besides, even if outsiders peek at the side, they can't see any tricks. That set of exercises is not only as simple as powerful fists and feet, but also equipped with a set of prescriptions for strengthening strength. You see them catching Those beasts? We can't catch these beasts, some of them are even strange beasts. The males of the Lin family grew up eating these beasts since they were young. I heard that they often take medicine baths, so the males of the Lin family, Not to mention those adults, even a 10-year-old child, we are not opponents..."

In the end, Uncle Xia advised him: "Shanhe, no matter how much you hate the Lin family, the Lin family, try not to provoke them if you can. We are just ordinary people and cannot be provoked."

There was a flash of light in Zhou Ming's eyes, and he nodded slightly.

Then he immediately asked the system in his mind a few questions, especially about the kind of exercises in the hands of the Lin family.

The system disdainfully said: "It's just a set of ordinary quack skills. If you practice it to the strength of ten men, it is the limit. Not to mention the future, you are not the host's opponent now."

There are two kinds of cultivation methods in this world, one is "jianghu cultivation method" and the other is "immortal cultivation cultivation method".Jianghu exercises practice the "qi" inside the human body, which is called "refinement and transformation of qi". It is easy to learn and quick to master.

Cultivating Immortals practice is to cultivate "Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi", which is fundamentally different from "refinement and transformation of Qi". Moreover, "Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi" is infinite, while the human body's essence is limited... It goes without saying that the road is brighter.

But for mortals like Uncle Xia, not to mention cultivating immortal skills, but ordinary Jianghu skills, they have no chance to contact and possess, let alone get started and learn.

"System, do you have some advanced Jianghu exercises? If so, give me a few sets, and I'll buy them for achievement points."

"No, the system does not collect worthless garbage."

"Then is there any cultivation technique that ordinary people can practice? It doesn't matter if it's rubbish."

"No, if you can't pass the two barriers of 'perception' and 'foundation', no one can practice the cultivation technique of immortality."

"I'm going! System, my plan needs a group of ordinary people with good strength to assist in the implementation. If they are all so good, just random people from the rivers and lakes can destroy my hard work! The forces I create must have certain powers. Self-protection ability...why didn't you take this issue into consideration?" Zhou Ming complained a little.

"Considering that it is also a change from an ant to a grasshopper, which has improved a lot... However, if the host really wants to improve the self-protection strength of ordinary people, the system can simulate a set of Jianghu exercises for you, and it also comes with a copy of advanced fitness Not to mention the remarkable effect of the prescription, the side effects are also very small, and the host can use it himself."

"That's great! System, give me the exercises and prescriptions!" Zhou Ming said excitedly.

"Uh, 50 billion achievement points, this is a necessary expense." The system lion said loudly.

"Okay, hurry up and send the things over!"

Zhou Ming shook his head. Buying system products in the dungeon is the same as buying things in the train station. You can only be slaughtered by the seller!
