Rebirth in Another World: Beginning of the Orcs

Li Xia was very depressed because of his bad food, he felt that the birds were almost fading out of his mouth this month.

In the past, watching TV, I was envious of the Mongolians who ate large pieces of meat and drank heavily. It was his turn to have large pieces of meat, but the original taste was not something he could bear.When Li Xia first came to Al Continent, he was all focused on how to avoid being exposed. After a while, he relaxed and felt that he was always weak. He looked for Morinda and didn't see any problems. An ill-intentioned sneer.When Li Xia calmed down and thought about it alone, he realized that this was not a symptom of salt deficiency.Thinking about it this way, salt is not just as simple as a flavoring agent, but also related to the health and safety of the body.It is imminent, and the important agenda of salt mining must be finalized as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Li Xia deliberately went out to the yard to look at the moon in the sky.

A new moon hangs high in the sky, like a golden boat moored among the sparse branches.Clouds appeared and disappeared under the cover of night.Li Xia estimated the time using the few knowledge of astronomy.Calculated according to the date of the earth, it should be the first day of the lunar calendar.According to a CCTV column, the tide rises to the highest at 48:[-] am and [-]:[-] pm on the [-]th day of each lunar month, and the lowest at [-]:[-] noon and [-]:[-] at night. The daily tide rises and falls for [-] minutes.

Al Dalu doesn't know if there are any tribes who eat salt, but just looking at the people around Lixia, we know that at least in the wolf tribe and surrounding tribes, no one knows the importance of salt, and no one even knows what salt is.Knowing the approximate time now, Li Xia's obsession with the sea has deepened for a moment.

China is one of the countries with the longest salt production history in the world.According to legend, during the reign of Emperor Yan, Fengsha's family boiled the sea for salt.It originated in the Jiaozhou Bay area of ​​the Shandong Peninsula, and is the originator of salt production by boiling seawater with fire; this method lasted until the Ming and Qing Dynasties and gradually transitioned to sea salt production by beach drying.The production of lake salt started at least 3000 years ago in the Shang Dynasty.The word "halogen" in the oracle bone inscriptions of the Yin and Shang Dynasties is written as "※", which is the hieroglyph for making salt by brine in artificial salt fields.Nowadays, it is too time-consuming to dig salt pans, and the action is too big. At present, it is only necessary to get the ones for home use.It is enough to pick the weather when the weather is good, but what is the advantage of knowing the tide time?You can pick up the sea.Thinking of all kinds of seafood that he had eaten in his previous life can make Li Xia's mouth water.But at present, drying salt is still the most important thing. He has had enough of tasteless food.

Thinking of the essential general knowledge of Al Continent that was popularized by Subi before, Li Xia still wanted to test Ernst's attitude first.

"Ernst, have you ever been to the seaside?" Li Xia asked seemingly unintentionally. He had already fallen asleep on the bed quickly, and moved his body to make room for Ernst to lie down.Li Xia immediately sighed in his heart that the hand-made mat made by himself is good for sleeping on, and it also smells like the fragrance of sub-plants.

"No, the anger of the Beast God is not something we can bear. Every orc and female knows the prohibition. But I have seen it from afar when I was hunting before." Ernst washed the tableware and thought of it In the scenery I saw before, the place where the sea and the sky meet is burning with rose-colored rays of light, and the rising sun has covered the blue sea with a layer of red gauze, and the sea is full of waves and can't be seen at the end.

"Ernst, I want to go and see."

"What?!" Li Xia's inadvertent soft voice made Ernst stand up suddenly, and he almost lost his footing because of his legs and feet, "Li Xia! This is not a joke, the beast god will get angry and punish us, You will be..."

Li Xia interrupted Ernst's continuation, got up and took Ernst's still dripping hand and patted it to comfort him. "But Ernst, you know, I'm not Kevin, I'm Lixia, and I come from another world." Lixia tried to convince him. "In that world, people conquered the sea and obtained a lot of rich resources from the sea, such as food."

"The most important thing is that there is an indispensable substance in seawater—salt." Seeing that Ernst calmed down a little after hearing the word food, Li Xia continued. "If salt is added in the process of making food, the taste will be much better. Orcs can usually get salt from the blood of their prey, but females don't. Ernst, do any females in the tribe feel that they have no appetite, Limb weakness, dizziness? In severe cases, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, and inability to see clearly?”

Ernst thought about it, and it seems that many females in the tribe are like this. When Ernst was a child, his mother and father were exhausted all day long. At that time, his mother and father were still lovingly touching his hair and smiling. It is said that it will be like this when you are old. Is it really lacking the salt that Li Xia said?If Lixia doesn't eat salt, will it be like what he said in the future?After hearing Li Xia's words, Ernst became a little worried.He doesn't know what salt is, but he has seen the series of manifestations Li Xia said, and he can take them as normal when he doesn't know, but now they represent illness.What it means to be sick on the continent of Ar no one wants to imagine.

Ernst thought for a while and asked. "How do you get the salt you mentioned?"

Hearing Ernst's question, Li Xia knew that he was convinced by himself.Li Xia smiled, the excitement in his eyes cannot be ignored. "As long as there is a clay pot and a fire, I'll take care of getting salt for you." Pulling Ernst's hand, Li Xia said slyly, "Let's get it secretly tomorrow."

Ernst looked at the little hand that conveyed heat in his palm, and his complexion softened a lot. "Um."

With Ernst's guarantee and the new mats being put into use, Li Xia felt that he slept very comfortably this time.Opening his eyes, it was just dawn, and he heard noises from the kitchen shed outside, and Li Xia knew that Ernst was making breakfast.

I don't know when I fell asleep last night. Li Xia still remembered that he was discussing with Ernst that he would tell the patriarch the next day how to make the mat.Maybe it was because the high-intensity knitting in the afternoon was too exhausting, and I fell asleep in a daze, only feeling that the place on my back was very warm.

After getting up and stretching, Li Xia went outside to wash up.At the well, he wiped his face with animal skin dipped in water and rinsed his mouth with water. Ernst's breakfast should be ready.After eating, the two of them packed clay pots, flints and stone picks with their backs and went to the patriarch's house first.

The person who opened the door was the patriarch's partner, Bita, a very gentle female, who welcomed the two of them in very enthusiastically after hearing the words of the patriarch the day before.

Because Li Xia had something to do in his heart, when he met the patriarch, Li Xia told him succinctly that the mats and baskets had been made, and he had already taught Subi how to do it, because the females in the clan still had opinions on him. It is estimated that they still have trouble dealing with themselves for the time being, so they can learn directly from Subi.Afterwards, he left behind a shoulder bag prepared in advance for the patriarch's partner, and the two left the patriarch's house hand in hand.

Li Xia followed Ernst around to avoid the attention of the tribe, and then left the tribe.As far as the eye can see, there are lush green grasslands, and under the bright sunshine, they fall down layer by layer with the trajectory of the wind.Looking into the distance, it is the sea!

There was a salty smell in the wind, which came from the sea.

After walking for about an hour, Lixia took Ernst and walked slowly to the beach. The sea in his eyes was many times bigger than what he had seen in the beach on the earth before. The long coastline could not be seen at all. There are so many people, the blue water is surging with waves, and the waves are beating against the reefs on the shore. Looking into the distance, the sky and the sea are connected without boundaries.

Lixia sat on the beach, patted on the side of her body to signal Ernst to sit down too.

"The sea is beautiful."

"Ah."

Look at the sky is still early, the sea is slowly ebbing.Many boulders not far from the shore have been exposed in the air.

Li Xia went over to take a look, and there were many shallow and wide pits formed by the long-term erosion of sea water on the boulder. He was overjoyed at the moment, thinking that he had to cook salt, which would be more troublesome and less rewarding. Now that there are these pits, he and All Ernst had to do was to fill seawater in clay pots, pour it into these pits, and wait for the scorching sun at noon to heat the stones and dry the water, and then he could get enough sea salt.

The coastline here is so long, Li Xia wondered if the patriarch should order the people to dig more pits on the ground for salt pan drying in the future.

It took a lot of effort for the two of them to pour water in clay pots one after another.When the sun was hot, Lixia and Ernst had rested for a while in the shade behind the boulder.

After resting, Li Xia got up and ran to the beach that had just been washed by the sea, and stretches of reefs were exposed on the beach.Lixia shuttled around the reef with a stone pick, knocking on it from time to time.

"Wow. Ernst, there are sea oysters." When Lixia was traveling before, he heard from fishermen on the seashore that sea oysters are extremely reproductive, and they attach to the reef. If you throw a stone into the sea, it will explode within three days. Full of oysters.When the tide is low, the sea pickers hold oyster knives in one hand and small baskets in the other, which can be filled in a while.

From time to time, in the crevices of the reef, you can see some fish and shrimps that have not had time to slip away when the tide is low because of their greed for food and play.If you have a good thing, of course you can't let it go, just grab it.Ernst, who had been following Lixia all the time, took the stone hoe to replace Lixia, and was also very happy to see these unknown things in the back.

Li Xia suddenly let out a cry that startled Ernst, who bent over to knock on the oysters. Although Ernst, who had been influenced by the "Beast God's Anger Theory" since he was a child, agreed to come to the beach with Li Xia, his spirit was always tense. Keeping alert, when he heard Li Xia's howl, he immediately assumed a fighting state, and when he looked up, he saw that Li Xia was about to cry or not, jumping on the spot with tears in his eyes, the thumb of one foot was just taught him by Li Xia Crab claws.Ernst was both funny and distressed at once, and stepped forward to use violent means to KO the crab before rescuing the "hostage".

The two retaliated (mainly Lixia) by digging snail lobsters and crabs protruding and bubbling in the sandy nest, picking up shellfish brought to the beach by the waves, and picking sea vegetables clinging to the reef. Not far away, I picked up a piece of kelp that washed ashore and was about ten meters long.This trip has been very rewarding.

In the afternoon, watching the sea water rise slowly, the two returned to the big rock, and Li Xia collected the sun-dried salt from the pit.Most of the pits were completely dry, covered with a white layer of salt crystals.It's full of half a jar.

Lixia dipped a little salt with her little finger, and passed it to Ernst's mouth, "Taste it."

Ernst lowered his head and sucked Lixia's little finger, and a unique taste of salt filled his mouth.The tongue went around the little finger, sucking the body fluid before letting go.

At this time, Lixia was petrified. How could he forget that this is not on the earth? Did he have a brain twitch just now to let Ernst hold his finger? .
