Chapter 399 The Beast World Is King (6)

"Five licorice?"

Leopard Lin hurriedly picked out a bunch of weeds and said, "That's it. When my mother was here, I would put it in cooking. This one has a salty taste, and it will give you strength after eating it."

Ji Rong took the five licorice and observed it carefully for a long while. He felt that it looked like a scale flower, but the texture of some plants was different.

Petalia in the modern world grows in the saline-alkali land in arid areas, which can improve the land. The plants themselves also contain salt, and the salt crystals left after the salt water evaporates are completely edible.

Ji Rong took a bite, and the stalks of the grass really had a strong salty taste, with a bit of bitterness inside.

It's just that the bitterness is covered by the salty taste, so it's hard to taste it.

It seems that this thing belongs to the same family of plants as petal scale flower, maybe it is the ancestor of petal scale flower...

"Where did you find it?"

Leopard Lin saw that Ji Rong seemed to like these grasses, so he said happily: "In the back mountain, there is a place where there are not many trees, but these things grow. My mother has tasted it and it is not poisonous, and sometimes she will cook it for us. in the food."

Leopard Lin's mother used to be a warrior of the tribe, so she can share the food alone, and she also has her own stone pot and stone tools.

But this was all a long time ago, so it's hard for him to remember.

Ji Rong put the five licorice aside, thinking that he had to find a chance to go there and have a look.

If you guessed right, that piece of land should be saline-alkali land.

After eating, Ji Rong still asked Bao Lin to deliver soup to the old patriarch, and she seized the time to build a wooden house.

……

It took half a month for Ji Rong to build two cabins that were connected together, and also specially built two sheds again.

One shed is used as a hut, and the other is used to store firewood and other sundries.

Ji Rong's room is relatively large, and all kinds of stone tools and kitchen utensils are placed in it, and the usual food is also stored in it.

After this period of training, Leopard Lin has improved a lot in cooking, and Ji Rong no longer worries about food, but as long as she can catch anything, Leopard Lin can handle it well.

The bodies of the two also recovered a lot, but Ji Rong still didn't dare to try to hunt those beasts in the forest, and still came back from catching hares every now and then.

She took the time to get most of the five licorice on the back mountain, and after a little treatment, she harvested a lot of clean salt crystals.

"Brother, the meat is about to go bad, what should I do?"

Bao Lin held the meat in his hand and looked at Ji Rong with some distress.

Ji Rong stopped his movements and asked Bao Lin: "What do you do with the leftover meat in the tribe?"

Leopard Lin shrugged and said, "There is very little leftover meat in the tribe, and once or twice, most of them will stink!"

"Is there no salt in the tribe?"

Pickling things with salt should be a method that has existed since ancient times.

Leopard Lin knew that salt was used for cooking, but it didn't make sense that the people in the tribe didn't know.

Seeing Ji Rong's serious inquiry, Leopard Lin also got used to Ji Rong's forgetfulness, and explained to her earnestly: "Brother, salt is a very precious thing, and our tribe is in short supply. The person who changed the salt this year hasn't come back yet, everyone There is nothing to eat now!"

Salt is a precious thing, scarcer than meat, so naturally it is not extravagant enough to be used to marinate meat.

but……

Looking at the gray sky outside, Ji Rong knew that it was probably going to rain again, so he said to Leopard Lin, "Go outside and pick up some pine branches, it should be a little wet."

Bao Lin didn't know what Ji Rong was going to do, but obediently followed orders.
