Chapter 22 I finally have salt to eat

Yun Buliu breathed out slowly, patted his cheek, and then lit a bonfire.

The sky is getting dark, and although a small part of the setting sun still hangs on the top of the mountain and is reluctant to go down, it is already a bit dark in this cave without a bonfire.

With the bonfire, the cave suddenly became brighter.

He didn't prepare roast rabbit meat, and the little white snake and the little fur ball didn't bother him. They seemed to know that he had more important things to do.

He used a short spear to stir the pottery pot a few times, waited for a while, and then poured the brine in the pottery pot into another smaller pottery pot.

Then, he folded the remaining piece of washed cloth, covered it on the broken pottery pot with a missing opening, and tied the cloth tightly with straw and vines.

Then, he picked up two small bamboo tubes, stacked them up and down, held the overlap of the two bamboo tubes with his big hand, and hung the bottom end of the small bamboo tubes on the clay pot tied with a piece of cloth.

Finally, pour the turbid brine from the pottery basin into the small bamboo tube.

After passing through two simple filtration systems in two small bamboo tubes, the water that comes out is not clear and translucent, but compared with the original turbid brine, it is already very different.

When the salt water almost filled the cracked clay pot, he put down the bamboo tube, lowered his head and licked the salt water with his tongue out, and then his face showed a look of joy.

That’s right!

It’s salt water!

Finally, I no longer have to worry about salt.

He laughed, hurriedly put the broken pottery pot on the stone stove, and lit a fire to heat the water.

After lighting the fire, he continued to filter the remaining brine and filtered out another basin and a half of salt water.

He dumped the residue and began to barbecue by the campfire. After seeing that he was in the mood to barbecue, the little white snake swam next to him and hissed at him for meat.

Looking at this little white snake that had grown several centimeters in just a few days, Yun Buliu couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Then he scraped the rabbit meat with his wild boar tusks and fed it to the little guy.

After the little guy was full, he filled more firewood under the stone stove to make the stove fire more intense, and the salt water in the clay pot had already been boiled.

But he didn't wait any longer. Instead, he sandwiched the scraped rabbit meat with bamboo sticks and started grilling the evening's dinner.

Not long after, the little furball ran in from outside the cave and squatted beside the bonfire.

After the pieces of rabbit meat were cooked, he dipped his clean chopsticks into the boiling salt water, took them out, and dripped the salt water on the meat pieces.

After eating the salty meat, he cried with emotion.

The tears in his eyes couldn't help but burst out.

He simply couldn't imagine how he survived these days.

Yun Buliu enjoyed this dinner very much.

So much so that he directly killed an entire hare, which was simply gluttony.

You know, after removing the head, skin, and internal organs of this hare, the remaining bones and meat add up to at least twenty kilograms.

The total food eaten by the little white snake and the little furball would not exceed two kilograms.

In other words, he could kill more than ten kilograms of pure rabbit meat alone.

After dinner, Yun Buliu lay half on the ground, stroking his round belly with satisfaction, looking at the stove fire burning brightly under the clay pot, and secretly sighing, human beings really cannot do without salt!

The difference in happiness between days with salt and days without salt is so huge that it can make people burst into tears!

The stove fire burned until midnight, and all the salt water was boiled away. But when he saw a handful of fine white crystal particles with a little black at the bottom of the clay pot, he was a little stunned.

He twisted it with his fingers and licked it with his tongue, and found that it was indeed salt.

But he was very confused as to why he didn't get the kind of pure white crystals?

Could it be that the carbon powder cannot be filtered cleanly?

Thinking about it, he felt that this was the only explanation.

Fortunately, the proportion of black and gray crystals is not large, and the vast majority are still white.

Just this small pinch of salt can last him several days.

With this thing, his confidence suddenly became much stronger.

When he lay down on the earthen kang to sleep at night, he was so excited that he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

So, he began to think about what he should do tomorrow.

As he kept thinking about it, he didn't even know when he fell asleep.

He only knew that he had a dream. In the dream, he became a super master who flew into the sky and escaped from the earth, and then he flew all the way out of the mountains.

What finally appeared in front of him was an unprecedented prosperous world.

He cuddled up against the red and green trees, sang and sang every night, and became a super landowner who lived a corrupt life.

He held the beauty in his arms and kissed her. As a result, the beauty opened her ferocious mouth, revealing the sharp fangs in her mouth, which scared him so much that he almost peed his pants.

When he woke up from his dream, he found that the little white snake was held in his hand, looking at him with a confused expression. In the eyes of the snake, there was the contempt of a king that belongs to it.

"I'll go, I didn't catch you and kiss you just now!"

hiss……

What answered him was the big mouth and fangs of the little white snake.

He shuddered and threw it aside.

When he got up, it was already bright outside.

God is behaving beautifully, it’s another sunny day.

He stretched, walked out of the cave, then ran to dig a soil hole in the distance, solved the next three urgent problems in life, and then started his morning exercise.

Originally he wanted to go dig salt mines, but in the end he held back.

The salt mine is right there, you can't run away, there's no need to worry.

Ten sets of push-ups, one set of one hundred, ten sets of squats, one set of one hundred, and then run back and forth ten times, almost 500 meters each time...

By the time he finished doing this, he was already sweating profusely and his hands and feet were sore.

If he had done a set of push-ups before, he would have knelt down dizzy.

"Maoqiu, come here, give me an electric shock!"

Hearing Yun Buliu's call, Maoqiu jumped down from the treetop. It could be seen that it could understand that he was calling it when he called "Maoqiu".

However, Maoqiu still didn’t understand the words ‘shut it down’.

But it doesn't matter, he has a way.

He reached out and grabbed its little tail, lifted it up and shook it.

Eee!

Hey...

After a while, he felt refreshed and stood up with full energy.

Except that her hair was fried like noodles, there was nothing wrong with anything else.

He ran to the lake to wash up, and then went to the bamboo forest to cut some bamboo joints and returned.

He planned to get a few bamboo tubes to hold the salt. It was troublesome to make pottery, the success rate was too low, and the conditions were limited, so the pottery pots produced were rough.

Returning to the cave, he put down the bamboo stick, looked around, and then scratched his head.

Originally, he wanted to kill the deer first and roast some venison for breakfast, but he thought that after killing the deer, if he could not sprinkle enough salt on the deer skin to soak it in time, it seemed that it would rot.

Before he found the salt, he wouldn't have thought so much, but now, he had to think about it. If a piece of deerskin could be processed well, it would definitely be worth a lot of money!

Of course, he knew little about how to tan the leather.

But now that he has found salt, he is naturally willing to give it a try.

But then he thought about it and realized that he didn't have anything big enough to dip the deerskin into.

Therefore, he had to give up his plan to pickle deer skin with salt, and planned to go back to making the deer skin in the simplest and crudest way.

He turned around and went out again, came to the bamboo forest, and carried back the remaining bamboos.

He planned to build a bamboo frame in the cave and hang the venison on it.

An hour had passed by the time he dug several holes more than one meter high on the cave wall, placed two three-meter-long bamboo sections on them, and made a simple bamboo frame.

Then, he picked up the red deer he had hunted yesterday and came to the lake.

He skinned the belly of the red deer, took out the internal organs, leaving the heart and liver, and threw the other intestines and other offal parts directly into the lake.

He was very strong, and he could throw those things far away.

Suddenly, the fishy smell was gone.

There are giant crocodiles emerging from the lake. Unfortunately, those giant crocodiles are not very interested in those deer.

Yun Buliu observed secretly that the largest of those giant crocodiles was only six or seven meters long, and they were not the super monsters he imagined.

But there were quite a lot of them. He made a rough count and found that there were at least seventeen or eighteen crocodiles in the lake.

Two of them wandered towards his direction.

Before the crocodiles came over, he wrapped the venison in deerskin, then carried the remaining two hundred kilograms of venison and deer heads and left the lake, heading back to the cave.

ps: I just discovered that the calculation rules of the new book list have changed again, maybe to prevent brushing! Now rewards are also included in the calculation. I said that I have recommended them, but why are they even in the top ten of the new book category list?

No! It turns out there are no brothers to reward me!

In the past, I basically didn’t ask for rewards. I thought it was a waste of my brothers’ coffers. But now, seeing that this book’s ranking on the new book list is so ugly, I can’t help it. Okay! I said, I want to

Yes, I want to be on the list! Brothers, contribute your little treasury and help me! It doesn’t take much, just one hundred points per person, thank you for the sadness! I love you! mua!
