Savage Tribe Survival

The shore of the island is not too far from their current house, but there are all kinds of gravel and weeds all over the surrounding area. Mermaids come in and out in the river, and rarely walk on land, so they haven't cleaned up the shore at all. Stone, the walking speed of the few people is naturally slower than usual, but the area of ​​the island is not that big, and ten minutes is enough time for them to reach their destination.

This is a gravel beach. Perhaps because there are no natural enemies, the mussels here grow very densely, piled up in clusters, and spread into the sea.At a glance, every stone is covered by dark brown mussels, as if these stones were originally dark brown.

Luo Zhen didn't expect that there would be so many mussels, so she sighed in surprise.

Mussels are not plants, but a bivalve mollusk known as mussels.There are many ways to eat mussels, whether it is steamed, boiled or stir-fried, it is very delicious, and it can be dried and stored for a long time. Even if there is no way to bring it back to the tribe for breeding, you can still bring the dried mussels back to the tribe Give others a taste.

Luo Zhen explained to the others, and ran down first.

When the tide rises at night, a lot of sea water pours in, which is not as deep as ankles, because there are too many mussels on this gravel beach, and they can pick them directly by staying at the edge without going into the gravel In the beach, or directly ran to the place that has been submerged most of the sea to look for it.

Ah Qing saw mussels for the first time. Curiously, she broke off one from the stone, pinched it with her hands, it was a bit hard, and looked at the big witch who was excitedly stuffing the broken mussels into her backpack. Knowing that the big witch said that edible things are generally not poisonous, after thinking about it, he directly put the thing in his hand into his mouth and bit it.

"Kach", there was a crisp sound, the hard shell was crushed by Ah Qing's sharp teeth, and the unwashed mussels were full of sand and broken shells.Ah Qing frowned, and quickly spit out the mussels in her mouth.

Seeing this, Luo Zhen couldn't help laughing, "These mussels are not eaten like this. I will teach you how to eat them after picking them."

Shan Qi stepped into the sea with half of his foot. Just now he saw a silver fish swimming in along the flowing water. Now he bent down quickly and touched it with his hand. The slippery fish was caught by him like this. , the tail of the fish swung rapidly out of the water, splashing the salty sea smell on Shan Qi's face.

Shan Qi didn't like this taste very much, he pinched the two cheeks of the whitebait, and the movement of the whitebait, which was struggling non-stop, slowly stopped, and then Shan Qi directly threw the fish into Ah Qing's chest. In his arms, "If you are hungry, you can eat this pad to fill your stomach first. The big witch said that these saltwater fish can be eaten raw."

Ah Qing gritted his teeth. The untreated fish smelled fishy. Even if he could eat it directly, he couldn’t eat it. Just now, he just wanted to taste the taste of mussels out of curiosity. “Thank you, let’s take it back and stew it.” Fish soup."

Luo Zhen watched them fight with a smile. Along the way, they seldom had such a leisurely moment. It was as if they were back in the Sunyao tribe, and even time seemed to slow down.

Soon, the two animal skin backpacks were filled to the brim with mussels. Several people on the spot broke all the sticky mussels into pieces, then washed the silt on them with sea water, and repacked them. .

While there was still time, several people swam around in the sea again. Neither Black Mountain nor the black leopard cub could swim. They also took a dip in the sea water, but such a large sea area, for the two returning orcs who can't swim, is still a bit afraid to set foot, and the salty smell of the sea water is much more sensitive to the returning sense of smell. For the ancestor beast people, they also instinctively reminded them of the danger of the sea and prevented them from approaching at will.

The sea water is very clear, and you can clearly see the creatures in the bottom of the sea. Luo Zhen plunged in and touched the kelp that grew under the water. Because there were no tools, the sea urchins scattered nearby couldn't be picked up directly. It's a pity to give up, but when I come back to pick mussels tomorrow, I can bring all my tools and look for other delicious food in the nearby sea.

Next to the gravel beach, there is a tall and huge rock protruding. Luo Zhen observed the height, and climbed to the top and should be able to overlook the overview of the entire island.

Wipe off the water droplets on his body, the sea water has a salty taste, and he feels uncomfortable after drying out, and even fine salt particles will precipitate, so he must wash it with fresh water again. Shan Qi went to the lake to fetch water early in the morning Come back, and when they get back to the house, they can clean it directly.

The rock is a bit steep, and there is no gentle slope leading directly to the top, but the rock wall is not smooth, and the uneven protrusions are easy for people to fall on. With Luo Zhen's current strength, even if he climbs with bare hands, he can easily climb up. climbed up.

This is indeed a small island, but it is slender and more than twice as long as Luo Zhen thought at first. Except for the lush green in the center, there are not many green plants around. Especially the places near the seaside are dominated by black rocks.

From a distance, you can see a golden sandy beach on the opposite side of the island. It looks quite large, and there are quite a few black dots moving around it. It must be the hunting that the sea witch mentioned before. sea ​​beast.

And beside this big rock, there is a relatively flat rocky ground, which is slightly sunken, and a little rainwater has accumulated in it, and some seabirds will stop in it to drink water, but Luo Zhen can't help but move his mind , there is no better place for drying salt than here.

Drying salt is a slow process. After all, it is too affected by the weather. Luo Zhen has been thinking about drying salt before coming to the beach.

Now that he had the idea of ​​drying salt, and saw a suitable place, Dang Lian no longer hesitated, and after getting off the rock, he moved the cleaned mussels back to the house first, and then brought the cleaning tools And the sheepskin bag that can hold water turned back again.

After all, it is a place where seabirds often come to drink rainwater. The rocks are surrounded by dry or wet bird droppings. It is not too troublesome for several people to work together to clean them up.

The past few days have been sunny, it has not yet entered winter, the temperature of the sun is still very high, and the rainwater accumulated inside has almost dried up, and the water stains will be wiped clean as soon as the animal skin is wiped.

After cleaning up the rocky ground, Ah Qing and Shan Qi went to the sea to fill up the slightly sunken rocky ground with sea water.

"In this way, you can get salt by leaving it alone?" Even Ah Qing, who has already had experience in refining rock salt, still couldn't believe it when he saw that salt was dried in this way, but he never questioned his great witch, even if he had If there is any doubt, he will also do well the things ordered by the great witch.

"Tomorrow we will use mud glue to build a few more places like this that can store water, so that the sun salt will be added much faster." Luo Zhen rubbed his sore shoulders and said with satisfaction.According to the temperature in the past few days, Luo Zhen estimated that it would only be three to four days, and this shallow layer of seawater should be able to precipitate coarse salt.

But the coarse salt at this time cannot be eaten directly, because there are many impurities such as silt in it, and it needs to be filtered and refined again to obtain the salt they need.In order to bring more salt back to the tribe, Luo Zhen also planned to do the refining steps here, so he had to go back to the Black Forest.

Now that winter is not far away, there will be no way to dry salt in winter. Too low temperature will freeze the seawater on the rocks, and Luo Zhen doesn't know whether they will turn back immediately after the end of winter. So during this period of time, the more natural sea salt can be exposed, the better.

Thinking that there are still many things waiting to be busy in the future, Luo Zhen couldn't help but support his forehead with a headache. Since coming here, he has become a busy person, but he uses his hands to make himself and the people around him feel happy. People are living better and better lives, but Luo Zhen gets a little fun and a sense of accomplishment from it. Even without all the modern high-tech, Luo Zhen is quite satisfied with her current life.

By the time they finished their work, the sky had completely darkened, there was not much cover from the sea, and the stars in the night sky were extremely bright. Even if it was only a new moon tonight, relying on the light of the stars, it was enough for them to see things on the road clearly.

The salty sea breeze rushed head-on, and the seabirds nesting in the surrounding rocks also calmed down. Today they did not attack the seabirds. There are still a lot of wild vegetables picked in the Black Forest before, and there are still some in the luggage. A lot of dried meat, enough for them to eat several meals.

When he returned to the stone house, he saw that Black Hunter had already lit the fire in advance, and there were a few newly made wooden barrels lying aside to dry, which should be the result of Black Hunter's work during their outing.

Simple insect repellent treatment was done around the house, and no insects would crawl in. Even the ubiquitous mosquitoes in the Black Forest were much less, and it was rare to fall asleep with the annoying "buzzing" sound.

The orc warriors had a lot of food, and coupled with the crude tools, Luo Zhen cooked a large pot of mussels directly with sea water. There is no need to add salt if there is sea water, but some wild ginger and wild onions should be put in it to taste.After the mussels are cooked until the shells are opened automatically, it is almost ready, and then dipped in sauce, the taste is very delicious.

Of course, no matter how simple the tools are, it is still possible to make a stir-fried dish, but the pottery pot is not big. Luo Zhen simply asked Shan Qi to find a fairly flat stone slab and set up a simple stove by the fire. The boiled mussels are taken out, then transferred to the slate, stir-fried with sauce and chili, and the rich flavor will soon spread.

Before in the Black Forest, we had to pay attention not to cook food with strong flavor so as not to attract fierce beasts, but there was no such concern on the island. Several people who hadn't eaten stir-fried vegetables for a long time couldn't help swallowing secretly.

And in a river channel where the moonlight can't be seen, a beautiful fish tail flipped a few times in the water, and then plunged into the water. Shaking it regretfully, I couldn't help poking my head out of the water again.
