Life in the mountains is obviously very monotonous.
However, Yun Buliu found some fun in it.
Weaving bamboo halters and making bamboo chairs, bamboo beds, bamboo tables and other items is one of the fun things.
He put the braided bamboo halter on the head of the bamboo pipe that diverted water and tied it tightly with hemp rope. The flow of water in the bamboo pipe did not become much smaller because of this, but it could effectively prevent the intrusion of some foreign objects.
But bamboo chairs, bamboo beds, bamboo tables, etc. are not that easy.
Of course, what is even more difficult is the preservation of beef.
The weight of the big bison is not much lighter than that of the little tiger's mother. Even if his appetite has greatly increased and he can eat more than a hundred kilograms of meat a day, he can still eat it for ten or twenty days.
The weather has already become hot and now, the meat will already have a peculiar smell after being stored for three days.
To this end, he planned to make all the leftover beef into beef jerky.
There are many ways to make beef jerky, but he basically doesn't know it because he has never done it. He has only seen some old people making air-dried meat and bacon in his hometown.
But he doesn't have any seasonings for bacon.
The only seasonings he could find were salt, wild ginger, and wild onions.
Other condiments may be found in this vast mountain forest, but in fact, it is just luck to come across them, let alone looking for them temporarily.
As for wine, vinegar, soy sauce, etc., there is no need to think about it.
Moreover, making bacon is too troublesome, mainly because it takes too long. It takes several days to marinate and ten and a half months to smoke. Moreover, bacon can only be eaten as a vegetable, not as a staple food.
He mainly eats meat as his staple food now. Bacon is too salty.
Of course, there is another way to make a simple version of beef jerky, which is to cook the beef and then dry it in the sun. This method is actually very simple.
If you have enough seasonings, you can make beef jerky that tastes good.
But there is also a big problem, how to cook beef?
He doesn't have such a big pot to cook anything at all.
And drying it after cooking is also a problem.
Therefore, he could only use the simplest way to deal with it, which was to use salt, wild ginger, and wild onions to briefly marinate the beef, and then hang it in a vent to dry.
Although air-drying takes a long time, at least the meat will not spoil so easily.
However, what is missing now is something that can be used to marinate beef.
So, he found a large stone with a length, width and height of about 1.56 meters, and then used the tiger's teeth as a steel chisel and the black stone as a hammer to carve out a huge stone mortar.
He has already done this work of cutting stone mortars once, so he can be considered an expert this time.
First use the tiger teeth to scrape out a circle on the stone...
Drawing a circle is very simple. Just tie a thin hemp rope to the tiger's tooth, press one end into the middle of the stone, hold the tiger tooth with the other hand, straighten the rope, and turn it around on the stone.
Then along the drawn line, use a much thinner wild boar tusk to scrape hard. After scraping out a groove, use the tiger tooth as a steel chisel to start chiseling the stone and hollowing out the center of the stone.
Ding-ding-dang-dang, like the sound of gold and iron, resounded in this mountain forest.
The bones with mysterious golden patterns are not only as hard as iron, but the sound they make when they hit the stone is very similar to the sound of a steel chisel hitting the stone.
In the big lake, the fools of E Village were rowing on the clear waves, raising their heads and looking around, as if they were looking for the source of these sounds.
The birds in the forest started to startle, because the sound can make people's eardrums vibrate and make them feel uncomfortable all over, and the birds are not much different.
The two fluffy little ears of the little furball had already drooped down, as if they were blocking their ears in this way.
Yun Buliu didn't know whether the little white snake left the small bamboo house.
However, the little tiger was attracted by the sound, looked at it curiously, and then returned to the cave with its little head drooped. There was still a trace of its mother's breath in the cave.
Although the tiger tooth in his hand also has the scent of the tiger mother, it is not as strong as the one in the cave.
If you really use a steel chisel to chisel carefully and slowly, it is impossible to carve out a large stone mortar in one day, even if you invite those teachers and teachers.
But Yun Buliu dug it out right away. Fortunately, as he was careful enough, there was no accident and the stone didn't crack in the middle of the cut.
Originally, it was impossible for him to move a large stone that might weigh more than ten tons, but now, after chiseling away most of the stone inside, leaving only a stone mortar that is more than ten centimeters thick on the outside, it is much lighter.
He tried it and picked it up instantly.
The volume inside the large stone mortar is estimated to be one or two cubic meters, and it can be used as a bathtub.
He carried the big stone mortar to the water pipe outside the small bamboo building, cleaned the big stone mortar, then carried it back to the cave and placed the big stone mortar in the cave.
Seeing Yun Buliu come back, the little milk tiger lying in the cave raised his head and glanced at him. He meowed a few times in a milky voice, then slowly lay down again, looking at him with a pair of big innocent eyes.
Seeing its appearance, Yun Buliu sighed softly, walked forward and touched its little head.
Originally, in terms of liveliness, it should be far more lively than the little fur ball and the little white snake. After all, it is still so small and full of curiosity about everything in the outside world. It doesn't even know what fear is. Unlike the little fur ball, this girl
Too timid.
Although it appears to be very calm in front of the little milk tiger, in fact it is just pretending.
If the little white snake is not lively, it is completely lazy. From its increasingly fat body, you can see that it will probably become a fat snake in the future!
Thinking of this, a picture of Jia Ling wearing white lady's clothes and dancing gracefully popped up in his mind!
Well……
Sin, sin, sin...
Yun Buliu quickly shook his head and shook this shattered scene out of his mind.
He didn't know that the little milk tiger also knew how to be afraid.
After masturbating the little tits for a while, he left the cave.
Salt is readily available, ginger requires digging for wild ginger, and onions, there are also wild onions in this green area, you just need to look for them carefully.
He first went to the bamboo forest to find a few wild ginger trees, washed them, then found some wild onions on the green grass, and dug out the roots of the wild onions.
He plans to go back and open up another piece of land for planting, and he will also plant some wild ginger.
Originally, he wanted to go to the big forest to the north of the orchard to find some honey to use as sugar, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
Because there is a family of big black bears living in that forest, and taking risks for a little bit of honey is obviously not a wise thing to do.
Dig up one or two kilograms of wild ginger and a few taels of wild onions, wash and chop them, then put them in a clay pot, add one or two kilograms of salt and a basin of water, and stir.
Then, he cut off the beef strips and placed them in the big stone mortar.
After placing each layer, he would pour some condiments into it. He didn't stop until he enlarged half of the stone mortar and saw that there were about two to three hundred kilograms of beef left.
Although this big bison still weighs more than 2,000 kilograms after killing it, after removing the bones, it is estimated to only weigh about 1,400 to 500 kilograms.
And except for the horns, which he preserved, he cut off the entire head and threw it away.
Handling a cow's head is a troublesome task, and he doesn't like the meat on the cow's head.
But he didn't like it, the dead wood floating in the lake liked it very much.
He marinated the beef in a stone mortar, and then used tiger teeth to pierce the thigh bones of a large bison. He wanted to select a few bone fragments from these large bones to grind bone knives.
At the same time, after an hour, turn over the marinated beef in the stone mortar.
