Just do what comes to mind.
It happened that the six beast-eared girls also woke up, so Yang Cheng asked Xia, who was still rubbing his eyes, to find a large pottery basin.
After a while, Xia brought over a half-meter-diameter pottery basin.
Yang Cheng then asked Yan Lin and Xing to bring some pieces of ferocious beast meat and put them in the pottery basin. He asked them to grab salt and rub the meat continuously until every part of the meat was covered with salt.
The two beast-eared girls didn't expect to be able to play games as soon as they woke up - the beast-eared girls didn't understand what Yang Cheng was going to do, and they regarded what he told him as a game.
The two of them had a great time, competing to see who could be faster. They grabbed more and more salt in their hands, grabbing handfuls.
Fortunately, Yang Cheng, who had been paying attention to them for a long time, discovered the signs in time and strangled them in the cradle.
Yang Cheng asked them to save some salt and just cover every part of the meat. There was no need to sprinkle too much.
Under Yang Cheng's supervision, the two beast-eared ladies had no choice but to keep their heads down and rub the salt honestly.
After rubbing the salted meat, Yang Cheng let them sit in the basin for a while, pierced the top of the meat pieces with a bone knife, found small vines to wear them, and finally set up a shelf in the open space to hang the meat on it.
In one afternoon, under Yang Cheng's guidance, more than a dozen shelves appeared in the open space, and the shelves were full of "fruits".
As a result, the salt exchanged from the Vine tribe was reduced by one-fifth.
This made Yang Cheng sigh with emotion, and felt that more salt would have to be exchanged in this exchange ceremony.
In addition to air-drying, Yang Cheng tried the smoke-drying method.
Because he remembered that when he was a child in the countryside, his grandfather told him that smoked meat seemed to have a longer shelf life than dried bacon.
So, on top of the fire that burned all year round in the cave, Yang Cheng also asked someone to simply use wood and vines to make a wooden frame and put it on top.
On this shelf, Yang Cheng also hung more than twenty pieces of ferocious beast meat, hung densely.
When Yanhu and the others came back from hunting, they were all a little stunned when they saw the pieces of ferocious beast meat shining golden light in the clearing under the sunlight of the setting sun.
They didn't expect that Wu said that the food could be preserved longer by coating the meat with salt and drying it in the sun.
However, although everyone wondered why food could be preserved in this way, they did not doubt whether it could be successful.
If the witch says it can succeed, it will definitely succeed!
In addition to air-dried meat and salted fish meat, dried salted fish is also within Yang Cheng's manufacturing scope.
Firstly, the two-tailed fish is the most fished food among the tribes. Secondly, the taste of dried salted fish is relatively good. Even when you are hunting in the wild and cannot eat cooked food, or in critical situations, dried salted fish can be eaten raw to replenish your physical strength.
The people responsible for making dried salted fish are not only Yan Lin and other beast-eared girls, but also some minors and weak old people in the tribe who can do light work.
Because of the large number of double-bearded fish, Yang Cheng's six beast-eared girls were simply too busy.
The way to handle the half-meter-long two-bearded fish is different from the vicious beast meat running on the ground.
The ferocious beasts running on the ground are all meat, including some internal organs that can be eaten, but fish not only have fish scales on the outside, but also fish bones and some inedible internal organs in the body. These things need to be disposed of.
But Yang Cheng didn't throw them away. Instead, he reused these things. Some of them were used as hunting bait by the totem warriors, and the other part was thrown back into the pool to attract other two-bearded fish.
Yang Cheng is now fishing regardless of exhaustion. Considering that the river may freeze in winter and the number of double-bearded fish will decrease, the more fish he can catch now, the better!
In addition to marinating food, there is another aspect that must be paid attention to.
That is the special storage place for food.
In order to prevent the food from being exposed to the moisture on the ground after drying, which may cause bad problems.
Yang Cheng specially found a relatively dry ground in the cave, and then asked Lulu to lay a layer of mud embryos that had been made and dried in the shade.
Then a layer of ferocious animal skin was spread on top of the clay embryo, and a thick layer of hay was added on top of the ferocious animal skin.
This completes the steps of storing dried food.
With these three layers of protection, when the cold moisture rises from the ground again in winter, it will not be that easy to moisten dried meat and fish!
After doing this, Yang Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and planned to continue supervising Yan Lin and the others in marinating the beast meat.
Suddenly, a hot feeling occurred in his waist.
Yang Cheng turned around and saw that the witch bone exchanged from the Vine Tribe was shining with white light.
The people nearby also noticed this white light, and when they turned to look at it, they were made dizzy by the flickering tadpole witchcraft on it.
"This should be the witch bone being activated." Yang Cheng picked up the gleaming white witch bone and put it in his eyes, rubbing his chin and thinking.
According to Qiuye, the shaman bones will be automatically activated in these days, and then the location of the exchange ceremony will be informed.
"You go and dry the meat of the ferocious beasts."
Yang Cheng waved his hand and asked the beast-eared girls to get the ferocious beast meat by themselves. He wanted to stay in the cave and explore the witch bone.
Yan Lin and other beast-eared ladies had no objections, but they still felt uncomfortable facing this witch bone!
They responded immediately and ran out one after another.
After they went out, Yang Cheng returned to his den, chose a comfortable position to lie down, and then tried to use his witch power to connect to the witch bone.
As soon as the witchcraft power in Yang Cheng's body extended out of his body, it seemed as if he felt something sucking him in, and it suddenly connected with the witchcraft bones.
At the moment of connection, the witch characters on the witch bones on Yang Cheng's hand suddenly stopped flashing and paused.
Then it started to scroll crazily. After scrolling for a while, it kept beating like a self-check, and finally arranged into a rectangular black box covering the entire witch bone.
In this black box, there are two black spots that are more than half a witch bone apart.
Below the black dot is a row of shamanistic characters.
Yang Cheng took one look and understood the meaning of the two black dots and the row of witchcraft characters.
One of the gently flashing black dots represents the location of the exchange ceremony, and the other stationary black dot represents the location of the witch bone in Yang Cheng's hand.
The meaning displayed in the row of witchcraft characters below is one sentence: "There are still twenty days before the opening of the exchange ceremony, and thirty days before the closing time."
Looking at this witch bone, Yang Cheng felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Isn't this the "map" in some games he played on Earth, and isn't this row of witchcraft the countdown to the "dungeon opening time" in the game?
