When Si, the patriarch, saw Du Shi standing obediently behind Lianyi, his eyes flashed, and then he started to ask straight to the point about how the meat was stored. Wu on the side looked at Lianyi openly, his eyes scanning the other person's eyebrows. Several times.
Lianyi smiled and said:
"I am already here, so naturally I will not break my promise. I wonder if the clan leader will allow me to stay in the noble land for a period of time?"
"Tai has conveyed your request. In exchange, we are very willing. However, Du is an orc expelled from the tribe after all. He cannot walk around the territory of the Black Snake Clan at will."
"Well! This is no problem. Just find someone to watch over you. I have no objection!"
Lianyi nodded, then turned to Du on his side and said:
"Du, during the time when I am in the territory of the Black Snake Clan, you should follow the clan leader's arrangements!"
Du He said somewhat unwillingly:
"I am your follower, and I want to follow you."
"Can you protect me, or can you discover new food for me?"< br>
Ripple asked without mercy.
“.”
After being dissed mercilessly by Lianyi, Du shut up.
Si and Wu looked at each other, and Wu asked:
"Lianyi, can I ask you a few questions?"
"Of course."
"How did your beast mark reappear?"
As a witch, this question is what he is most concerned about.
“When I chose to become a female, my beast mark disappeared after the witchcraft ceremony. However, during a collective gathering of the tribe, I was alone and attacked by a wild beast.
A critical moment. At that time, my beast mark reappeared, helping me destroy the beasts, and it also made me stronger. I also received the instructions from the beast god to discover new food for the beast world.”
After Lianyi finished speaking, he made a fist with his right hand and put it on his left heart, and performed the highest etiquette to the beast god. Several people present also followed suit and performed the same salute.
“You discovered the thing that makes barbecue more delicious.”
Wu continued to ask.
“Yes, this is what I discovered on our way to the Black Snake Territory.”
Lianyi admitted generously.
"It's the warm season now, and many plants have just begun to grow, so your findings should be very limited."
The white-haired witch said directly.
As a witch of the tribe, he has a very accurate grasp of the weather. After all, witches are the messengers responsible for communicating with the beast gods in the Beast World. They are similar to sacrificial beings and also serve as healers of the tribe.
Because they were given the mission of protecting the tribe by the beast god, their lifespan is only one-third that of the beastmen, and they basically cannot live to be a hundred years old. Because of this, witches are very popular among the entire tribe. He is respected and has prestige even above that of the clan leader.
However, they abide by their duties and are only responsible for the priestly activities of the tribe, healing injured orcs, exchanging information with other orc shamans, and only when the tribe encounters major events, but the patriarch cannot make a decision. Only then will the shaman be asked to give certain opinions. This time, because Lianyi brought up something about food, and she was a female, the beast mark between her eyebrows actually reappeared after she chose to become a female. These were beyond the clan leader’s knowledge, so Si Cai specially invited the clan leader. The witch came over and saw the ripples together.
Food is extremely precious to every ethnic group, because only with sufficient food supply can the ethnic group develop and grow and enter a virtuous cycle.
If the orcs cannot even eat enough, they will not be able to fight against the hordes of wild beasts in the forest, nor can they protect the females, let alone feed the cubs. If the survival rate of the cubs is low, the group will not be able to grow. After all, they will not be able to grow into adults. Even the orcs will grow old one day.
In addition, there was a severe drought in the last rich season, resulting in a sharp decrease in the limited food available. All orc tribes were greatly affected, and even the females and cubs of individual small orc tribes were affected. , because there is not enough food to survive the cold season, and starvation occurs, so as long as food is mentioned, even the witches, not to mention the clan leader, attach great importance to it.
Back to the present, Lianyi also seriously replied to the question raised by Wu:
"Dear Witch, you are right. That's why I took Du Du on the road. I didn't intend to stay in one place, because each ethnic group lives in a different environment, and the animals and plants growing around it are also different. And as you said, The climate is different, the growth levels of animals and plants are also different, and the new foods that can be discovered will also be different."
Wu nodded after hearing this and continued to ask:
"About storing meat. Method”
Ripple didn’t wait for Wu to finish, she grabbed a small bag from the animal skin bag slung over her shoulder, and poured some of the spicy unicorn beef jerky she had made earlier. came out, and then gave it to the patriarch Si Hewu alone.
“This is the jerky I made, you can have a taste.”
Then Ripple naturally put a piece into his mouth, indicating that there was nothing wrong with it.
Animals can make dried meat, so Si was not too surprised after hearing this. He put the dried meat into his mouth and chewed it for a while, and he tasted the difference.
There is almost no moisture in these dried meats, but they are not woody. Instead, they are very elastic. They also have a hint of spicy flavor from the barbecued meats I have eaten before. They are very tasty and become more and more fragrant the more you chew them.
After Wu ate a piece, he took a piece, squeezed it in his hand, and said:
"The moisture in this dried meat has basically been dried. As long as it doesn't get wet, it can be It will last longer and taste better.”
After receiving the approval from the two bosses, Ripple said with a smile:
“I have another way to store meat, but because I am on the road and don’t have the right equipment at hand, I can’t make it. After the company provides what I need, I can also make it now.”
“That’s no problem, just ask for whatever you need.”
The boss responded immediately. Both Wu and Wu were sure that the female Ripple was not lying, and the other party showed them new barbecue ingredients and dried meat that could be stored for a long time. They were sincere, and they had to show their sincerity.
"Okay, I also want to take a look at the herbs collected by the witch. Maybe there are materials I need in them."
Ripple turned to Wu and said.
The white-haired witch did not refuse, and nodded in agreement.
After the matter was finalized, Ripple moved into the Black Snake clan’s territory, and it was in a central location, close to Wu’s cave. The patrolling orc Tai and his team members she met that day became Ripple Follow her instructions to prepare all the necessary things.
Lianyi is a man of action. On the second day, he set up two stone pots in the square of the Black Snake Tribe and began to teach the females of the Black Snake Tribe how to make meat that can be preserved for a long time.
“Hello everyone, I am Lianyi. Today I was entrusted by the noble clan leader to teach you how to preserve meat for a long time. You don’t have to worry about not being able to remember it. The method is not difficult, but it just takes some time to master. Good heat.”
After Lianyi's opening remarks, she began to demonstrate live. The first method she did to preserve meat for a long time was to fry meat.
