Savage Tribe Survival

There is no salt-producing place near the Black Leopard Tribe. Rather, there is no salt-producing place on this side of Changfeng Mountain. Therefore, for rock salt, they can only take risks every three years, taking advantage of the gap between human-faced birds hatching young birds. Cross Changfeng Mountain and go to the distant tiger and lion tribe for exchange.

So Luo Zhen was not worried about telling Ashe the method of refining rock salt, because even if he told them, the rock salt refined by the Black Panther tribe would only be enough for them to digest internally.

The method of refining rock salt is very simple. The rock salt is completely melted into brine and then allowed to settle for a period of time. There is no cloth or filter here, and the mud in the rock salt cannot be completely filtered out. The sand and stone are picked out, and then the separated brine is boiled dry, so that the initially refined salt can be obtained.

In order to save firewood, Luo Zhen only refined it once, barely able to remove the bitterness in the rock salt, much better than the original taste of rock salt.

Luo Zhen only refined half of it yesterday. Before the charcoal fire was extinguished, Luo Zhen planned to refine the other half of rock salt, and let A Xue see for herself how to refine rock salt.

"Did the refined rock salt become less?" Axue stared at Luo Zhen's movements without blinking, until the water slowly turned into snow-white salt grains, and then asked her question softly, afraid of the sound If it is too big, the exhaled breath will blow away those tiny salt particles.

"Well, after all, the impurities inside have been filtered out."

Axue looked at the slowly precipitated salt grains in confusion, at least one-fifth less than before. She still couldn't fully understand the impurities Luo Zhen said. You must know that rock salt is very precious to them In existence, warriors can directly cut the throats of their prey and drink their blood to replenish their strength while hunting. Ordinary people like them, without rock salt, will have no strength in their bodies. Not only can they not raise children, but if they are unfortunate When it comes to attack, he doesn't even have the strength to escape.

So even though the rock salt refined by Luo Zhen tasted better than usual, Axue still felt sorry for the rock salt that lost one-fifth of its weight, and couldn't help being a little disappointed with this method of refining rock salt.

Luo Zhen didn't explain much either. He could guess Axue's worry, so he silently let the precipitated salt cool down and collected it in the animal skin used to hold rock salt, and then divided it between Axue and Ashui. He bought some food, and took the rest back to the tent to share with Lu Zhan.

The temperature is still a bit hot now, and the beef has a fishy smell after being left for a long time. Although Luo Zhen marinated it with some green pear juice for a while, and then stir-fried it with cassava, the taste is not very obvious.

Before Ah Xue came here, she had heard Jiaozhu report to his father about the food made by Luo Zhen. Even though she was mentally prepared, she couldn't help showing surprise when she ate this special taste for the first time.

The roots of cassava plants have actually been encountered by Axue when she was picking wild fruits in the small forest. At that time, she was picking a kind of wild fruit that grew close to the ground. The cassava was exactly the same, but at that time she only thought it was just an ordinary tree root. She never thought that cutting off these roots and steaming them and then stir-fried them with beef would be so delicious.

It is soft, glutinous, and has the aroma of beef. It is ten million times more delicious than the grass roots and bark that can only be dug out under the thick snow when there is no food in winter.

A Xue didn't even have time to follow up into the tent to see what the two were doing inside. She sat with A Shui on both sides of the firepit, grabbing cassava and beef with her hands without looking, and eagerly stuffed them into her mouth.

After breakfast, Luo Zhen was about to start preparing for the work of farming, because Lu Zhan planned to leave for a while while they were out collecting seeds, and said that he would pick some insect repellent grass for Luo Zhen. Zhen couldn't wait to pull the big and small ones outside the door who were still unsatisfied and walked towards the wild barley that was found farthest.

He was really fed up with the mosquitoes here at night. If it weren't for the insect repellent grass growing at the junction of the Nanlu Plain, it might take Luo Zhen a day to get to that place at Luo Zhen's speed. Maybe Luo Zhen would have run away by herself. Go and pick up those repellent grasses.

Of course, this time he did not forget to ask Lu Zhan to dig two trees with soil and roots and bring them back. If he can plant them here successfully, he will no longer have to worry about mosquitoes at night. The effect of repelling mosquitoes is even better.

Wild lettuce grew on the outskirts of the tribe, not far from where they had parted from the warriors throwing gut bones to feed the hyenas the last time they were in the grove.

Along the way, Luo Zhen met many women and children who cast curious glances at him, because some women were feeding their babies with their upper bodies exposed, and Luo Zhen was embarrassed to look back at them one by one, and just nodded hurriedly to those people. Say hello, and then rush to the destination with the two little tails behind you.

"Luo Zhen, will there be people in your tribe who grow vegetables? Then won't you go hungry in winter?" Axue is a girl who talks a lot. After only getting along for a short period of time, she will soon be the eighteenth generation of Luo Zhen's ancestors. I asked them all.

But her temperament is also straightforward, and she will ask directly if she has anything, and she will not feel that it is right to ask like this, and will it cause Luo Zhen trouble. Luo Zhen knows that the other party is the daughter of the great witch, and he still needs to stay in this tribe. A while ago, even though she knew that the other party was the eyeliner of the great witch, she could only answer some of Axue's questions truthfully and falsely.

"Well, there are too many ordinary people in our tribe, and there are not so many warriors who can go out to hunt, so we can only fiddle with ourselves to get more food."

Axue gave him a sympathetic look, "Then you must have had a hard time, right?" A tribe with too few fighters cannot develop safely as long as it has enough food. Various fierce beasts in winter, and some nearby tribes All the coveting will focus on this kind of tribe that is not strong enough. Ashe once heard the old people say that their Black Panther tribe was driven to this side of Changfeng Mountain in this way, and they must rely on accepting foreign talents to make it happen. The tribe has grown to its current size.

"It's okay." Luo Zhen smiled perfunctorily.

"Don't worry, our tribe has enough fighters, even the man-faced bird dare not rush into our tribe easily, you will be safe here." Ashe comforted: "And our tribe is still With the mother tree, even if you are a man, you can give birth to your own offspring."

As soon as Luo Zhen heard about the mother-child tree, she felt a cramping pain in her stomach. No, he didn't want to give birth to offspring by himself at all.
