Chapter 213
The wood for smoking bacon is also required.

The wood used to smoke bacon varies from place to place.

The few things Meng Changjin knew, she didn't find the same ones around, including when she was out hunting, only similar ones.

Meng Changjin didn't know if this was the kind of tree many years ago, but she cut off a few branches and smelled it, and it didn't smell much, so she chose another tree with some unique fragrance.

Meng Changjin remembered that she seemed to have heard that if the smoked wood itself has a fragrance, it will smoke this fragrance into the bacon, so that the bacon will also have a unique fragrance.

This kind of smell is not bad, Meng Changjin checked it himself, this kind of tree is also non-toxic, there is no need to worry about the smoked bacon will cause problems when eaten.

Smokey, the focus is on the smoke, not the fire.

How to control only the smoke, but the fire will not go out, Meng Changjin's way is to keep an eye on it all the time.

Even if you don't stare at it without blinking, at least you have to look at it every once in a while.

Meng Changjin can't do this matter to others, because the rest of the Yan tribe don't know how to do it, so Meng Changjin can only do it by himself.

Do it yourself, and you have to teach others. In this way, Meng Changjin will not have time to go out hunting with the hunting team.

Meng Changjin didn't follow them. Everyone in the hunting team did feel the pressure, but they were actually quite relaxed.

Meng Changjin followed, which would definitely ensure the safety of everyone in the hunting team.

But it also puts everyone under a lot of mental pressure.

Meng Changjin did not follow these few times, and the pressure on everyone's body has indeed increased. During the hunting period, they could not even get a good night's sleep.

And because Meng Changjin didn't follow, some people in the hunting team were also injured.

The most seriously injured one almost broke his leg.

But even so, their spirits are still more relaxed.

Meng Changjin could see it, but she didn't expose it, she just gave the seriously injured people recuperation pills.

After moving to the cabin, Meng Changjin also had time to refine elixirs because he was far away from everyone.

In the cave, there is no shelter, and if someone goes to her, they can see the inside of the cave by standing at the entrance. In this case, Meng Changjin dares to make alchemy.

But after moving to the wooden house, because it is far away from the cave where everyone lives, people will come to her during the day, but at night, only the patrol team will patrol outside and will not disturb she.

It was precisely because no one was bothering him that Meng Changjin had time to practice alchemy.

Meng Changjin also saw the situation of the hunting team and kept it in his heart.

As for the reason why everyone didn't really want her to go hunting with her, Meng Changjin himself could guess the reason.

Because she was so reassuring.

A sense of security is naturally not a derogatory term.

But for the hunting team members of the Yan tribe, if Meng Changjin has been hunting with them, it would be too much sense of security, and sooner or later their vigilance in the mountains and forests will be reduced to the extreme.

In this way, once Meng Changjin does not participate in the hunting, the remaining hunting team members cannot be said to be completely useless, but they will definitely relax their vigilance against the mountains and forests. For the hunting team members, that is The fastest way to death.

So everyone would rather Meng Changjin not follow, although they would be more likely to be injured or even die, but they still wanted it.

The more Meng Changjin saw clearly, the more he understood why the client was so persistent.

Such a tribe, such a companion, is indeed something to be proud of.

It just so happened that Meng Changjin was busy smoking bacon recently and didn't have time to participate in hunting operations. She was also preparing to quietly figure out how to position herself.

When going to the mountains and forests in the future, Meng Changjin felt that she might consider going alone.

It is not that hunting teams do not have examples of hunting alone, but such examples are rare.

Meng Changjin has this strength herself, so even if she goes hunting alone, it's okay.

Since she couldn't go hunting with the rest of the hunting team, she just needed to prepare some healing elixirs.

Meng Changjin felt that she had defined her own identity, and it would be best to be a pharmacist + teacher.

The pharmacist's part, of course, is to prepare the healing pills for hunting team members who are seriously injured when they go out hunting.

As for the part of the teacher, of course it is to teach the people of the Yan Tribe how to use farm tools, how to store meat, how to find wild vegetables and so on!

Do a good job in these two parts, and other things, Meng Changjin doesn't think he needs to worry too much.

The Yan tribe should have their own way of development. What Meng Changjin needs to do is to be the patron saint of the Yan tribe for a period of time as it grows vigorously.

When the Yan tribe develops to the point where they don't have to worry about food and clothing, but they still should be frugal, then the Yan tribe at that time will basically be fine as long as there is no huge disaster.

It takes ten days and a half months to smoke the bacon. During this time, Meng Changjin really didn't go anywhere. He smoked the bacon and went to the fields to see the rice and wild vegetables. He was also quite busy.

Although he had expected it, Meng Changjin still didn't expect that the rice planted on dry land would eventually grow.

Meng Changjin still doesn't know what kind of fruit will grow in the end, but now the seedling looks like wheat.

It would be amazing if it grew like wheat and then harvested rice.

The bacon that has been smoked for more than ten days has also been smoked.

The surface color of the meat has changed slightly. I took a piece and smelled it, and it was also very fragrant.

Meng Changjin thinks the bacon should be smoked successfully, right? !

The freshly smoked bacon must be tasted.

Braised bamboo shoots with bacon is a very delicious delicacy.

Now that winter is over, the winter bamboo shoots are naturally gone.

But before drying the dried winter bamboo shoots, there are no winter bamboo shoots, so why not still have winter bamboo shoots?
Meng Changjin's cooking skills can only be considered fair, but the taste of the ingredients is too strong. A meal of bacon stewed bamboo shoots, the ingredients themselves taste very good, and when combined, they are even more delicious.

Meng Changjin's stewed bacon was specially selected to be stewed during the day, and it was specially stewed outside the house.

The fragrance floated far away, and everyone who smelled the fragrance swallowed their mouths.

There are only a few, because they smoked bacon with Meng Changjin, so after smelling the fragrance, they just came to ask Meng Changjin how to make it, and after getting the recipe dictated by Meng Changjin, I ran back and tried it myself.

Meng Changjin ate a delicious meal, then took a few pieces of smoked bacon, and gave some to the big witch and the three leaders.

Although Meng Changjin stewed bacon outside, her wooden house is still a little far away from the cave.

There are people who smell it, but not many.

But when the few houses on the other side of the cave also started stewing bamboo shoots with bacon, the range of taste radiated much farther than when Meng Changjin stewed bacon.

At this time, the Yan tribe people who were eating barbecue at home suddenly felt that the barbecue in their hands was not so fragrant.

Some people regretted that when Meng Changjin made it, they should have made some together.

Now seeing other people's delicious food, but I can only smell it, I really regret it.

After regretting it, of course we have to learn and do it.

During this period of time, the people who changed the salt team went to the Crystal Tribe to change the salt twice, and each time they changed more than the first time, so the Yan Tribe has no problem with the salt at all.

As for the meat, there is nothing wrong with that.

The hunting team is still the same group of people, but with the pressure of Meng Changjin, the harvest of the recent hunting is really incomparable.

There is salt and meat, and it is almost done. At this time, any embarrassment or anything is empty.

Of course, even though they said so, everyone was really embarrassed to ask Meng Changjin directly.

Then I can only ask those people who smoked bacon with Meng Changjin.

People in the tribe don't like to hide any skills, and they are very willing to share them with others.

But before this sharing, these people came to ask Meng Changjin, asking if she agreed with them to teach other people in the tribe the technique of smoking bacon.

Needless to say?Naturally, Meng Changjin was willing.

Now there is no need for her to teach in person, let alone how happy she is.

There was a gust of smoky bacon blowing inside the Yan tribe, and every day you could see the sky above the Yan tribe, full of puffs of green smoke.

The tribe is developing and growing, because Meng Changjin has continuously found a lot of edible wild vegetables, and everyone's meals have changed a lot.

There are a lot of things that can be eaten, but the people of the Yan Tribe don't mean to be extravagant and wasteful. They are still thrifty and never greedy. Because wild vegetables spoil quickly, they dig as much as they can. How much, there will never be a situation where you dig too much but can't eat it.

Therefore, Meng Changjin also taught everyone how to dry vegetables in the sun.

Although it is good for everyone to dig as much as they can eat, wild vegetables will age, and they can be eaten when they are old, but not to mention the bad taste, some people may not be able to bite at all.

So Meng Changjin taught everyone how to dry vegetables in the sun. When the wild vegetables are eating, eat some and dry some. When the wild vegetables are gone, such as in winter, they will not only eat meat.

The Yan tribe was visibly getting better, and in the summer, someone finally wanted to try building a wooden house.

In the caves in summer, because the entrance of the cave cannot be closed, insects and ants are naturally indispensable.

Because of the fire in the tribe, many birds and beasts dare not approach the range of fire radiation.

But except for insects and ants.

Every summer, there will be insects and ants in the tribe, and the buzzing and noisy ears are annoying. The most important thing is that these insects and ants still bite people.

One bite is a big lump, and it is very itchy. At this time of the year, there are many people who go to Dawu to dispense medicine.

But even if there is medicine, after being bitten, itching for three to five days is inevitable.

If it was the previous year, everyone endured it and it passed. When autumn came, these insects and ants would be gone.

But this year with Meng Changjin around, it is naturally different.

There are no insects and ants in Meng Changjin's wooden house, so everyone is naturally excited now.

Insects and ants are rare during the day, and large groups appear at night, especially when everyone is sleeping at night, the buzzing sound of swarms will make noise in all directions.

Meng Changjin looked at the few people in front of him. These people were all planning to build wooden houses, and asked Meng Changjin to help cut down the trees and guide how to build them.

Obviously this is a very serious matter, but Meng Changjin looked at them and began to hold back his laughter.

There were marks of insect bites on the faces and exposed arms and legs of these people.

The traces are bulging bulges of various sizes.

The bulge is also coated with the liquid medicine prepared by the big witch, which is green, and it is dotted on the bulge, which doubles the sense of humor.

In fact, Meng Changjin knew that this was very tragic, but he couldn't help it. He really wanted to laugh. Meng Changjin had no choice but to resist the urge to laugh.

After all, the client was still young in the tribe, so it would be inappropriate to laugh out loud.

Suppressing a smile, Meng Changjin didn't waste any time, and just covered it if he wanted to.

There are quite a few families who want to build wooden houses this time, probably because they can't stand the bites of insects and ants.

So there are a lot of trees to be cut down this time.

Now that he got up, Meng Changjin simply got together and chopped.

If you cut it down, you can free up a piece of land.

Although the place where the tree grows, there are tree roots under the ground, and it is impossible to dig it out to plant the land.

But Meng Changjin felt that this was an expansion of the Yan tribe's territory.

Wild animals generally do not break into the plains from the fierce mountains and forests.

With the expanded flat land, the scope of the Yan tribe's activities will be larger.

Trees were cut down, land was selected, and the land was pounded and compacted.

Cutting wooden nails, digging mortise and tenon structure holes, etc., in this summer, everyone in the Yan tribe was busy and sweating profusely, but they didn't care.

Meng Changjin's workload is also huge. In order to pursue efficiency, she has to do a lot of digging, tree cutting and so on.

Of course, it's not that other people don't want to help.

They also want to help, but their tools don't allow it.

It's not impossible to do, but the things made are a bit too rough.

I won't talk about the roughness, and I don't pursue any beauty anyway.

The point is, the holes are punched in different sizes, which won't work.

It is not a problem if it is crooked, the key is that the structure will not be stable at that time.

The structure is not stable, if the house collapses or something, it will kill people.

Because of this, Meng Changjin was the only one who did these things.

Just let other people go to the selected location and beat the ground to make it flat.

There are many people, Meng Changjin is responsible for the key parts, and other non-critical, but scattered parts, naturally other people are responsible.

Overall, the speed is not slow.

After more than ten days, five wooden houses were built.

Once it was set up, someone moved in first, and when the rest of the people saw that the people who lived in the wooden house were indeed not bitten by insects and ants, they immediately became more motivated.
