Wu learned the name of the white stone from Han Cheng. It turned out to be salt.
However, he was a little skeptical about Han Cheng's words. The smell that made his body tremble was not completely dissipated even after rinsing his mouth with water twice. He didn't want to believe that the food that didn't taste good now would become so bad at night.
tasty.
Could it be that this 'salt' is like fruit? The green ones just picked are not delicious, but they taste better after they have been left for a while and turn yellow?
Wu thought this, and then nodded, feeling that he should have guessed the truth of the matter.
Han Cheng carefully picked up the layer of salt condensed at the bottom of the jar, placed it on a clean slate, carefully smashed it into powder with a stone, and then put it into a new/clean jar and covered it.
Lid.
Then he directed everyone to smash the remaining two-thirds of the salt ore and boil it into salt according to the process just now.
The salt content of this salt mine is quite high. A small salt mine of only ten kilograms produced about one kilogram of salt, which was enough to surprise Han Cheng.
When the afternoon turned to evening, the senior brother and the others came back with the prey. After hearing about this, the senior brother opened the salt jar, pinched some crushed salt from it and put it into his mouth, and then there was a bah bah sound.
He looked at Han Cheng and shook his head repeatedly, indicating that this food was not delicious.
Han Cheng smiled knowingly and didn't explain much. It would be weird if salt tasted like this!
The prey that was brought back was disemboweled and then roasted on the fire with tree forks.
In the past, Han Cheng didn't get involved in the barbecue and other tasks. After all, he was the son of God and he just had to sit back and enjoy the results.
But tonight was different. He was holding a bowl in his arms, and in the bowl was some salt that he poured out of the jar.
He gathered around the edge of the fire and sprinkled a thin layer of salt on all the meat to be roasted.
The faces of everyone who had already tasted the taste of salt twitched.
Fortunately, it was the Son of God who did this. If anyone else had done it, he would probably have been beaten hard.
Food is precious and cannot be wasted like this.
There was surprise in Wu's eyes. He didn't expect that Han Cheng's so-called delicious food was not just eating it directly, but sprinkling the strange-tasting salt on the barbecue.
Han Cheng looked at the roasted meat, which was browned and dripping with oil, and he was full of anticipation for tonight's food.
All the meat was roasted, and as before, the first one to eat the food was still the wizard.
The eldest brother picked a piece of meat that was suitable for roasting or roasting, picked it up with chopsticks and put it into a bowl. Then he held it with both hands, including the bowl and chopsticks, and delivered it to Wu who was standing aside and watching.
Everyone looked at Wu, expecting him to comment on the 'unique' barbecue served tonight.
Wu was a person who had seen the world. He was not at all frightened or panicked by so many people. He first blew a few breaths on the meat, and after it cooled down a bit, he slowly bit into it.
Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath and looked at Wu carefully.
As soon as a bite of meat entered his mouth, Wu's eyes couldn't help but light up, and the speed of chewing was obviously faster. He no longer looked as calm as when he was eating before.
When everyone saw Wu's reaction, they all breathed a sigh of relief. The food would not be wasted!
Then there was the doubt, is the barbecue with the strange-tasting white stone that the Son of God called 'salt' really so delicious?
"tasty!"
The wizard ate a mouthful of meat, resisted the desire to take a second bite, and happily announced to everyone the news that everyone already knew.
The second senior brother's saliva started to flow again. He looked at the salted barbecue and then at the senior senior brother with eager eyes.
The meaning is obvious, that is, you hurry up and get the food, so that I can get it quickly and taste the barbecue that the witch is full of praise for!
The eldest brother filled another bowl for Han Cheng, and then he couldn't help receiving the food, and took his family to the side to eat.
Han Cheng had the urge to cry. He had been here for several months, and now he finally had a bite of salted food. It was also a tearful experience!
The eating speed in the tribe was obviously faster than before. Even the witches only slowed down after eating more than half of the barbecue in the bowl.
After eating the food that was enough for the tribe in the past, everyone felt that they still had more to eat, especially the children.
It was their turn after their parents ate. In the past, the food their parents left for them could make them 80% full even if they were not full. But today, the food they received was really less.
Everyone looked at the senior brother eagerly, and the senior brother was also unsatisfied. Fortunately, he caught a lot of prey today, so he lived up to expectations and selected some meat to prepare for roasting.
However, Han Cheng stopped him. At his signal, the barbecue was turned into broth, with less meat and more bones that could not be chewed before.
In this way, some food can be saved. Secondly, everyone has already eaten almost enough. The reason why they feel not full is because it is the first time they eat food with salt and they think it is too delicious and they just want to eat more.
, under such a psychological effect, you will feel that you are not full.
At this time, drinking more broth is much better than eating barbecue.
A large vat specially used for cooking soup was placed on the fire, and someone skillfully added water and meat and bones into it.
Under Han Cheng's instructions and supervision, when people in the tribe cook, whether they are grilling meat or making soup, they will first wash the meat with water.
Unlike before, just cook and eat the bloody food.
After the meat and water were put in, Han Cheng poured the remaining salt in the bowl into the jar, and then covered the pot with a lid made of grass and leaves.
(The small pottery lid is still fine, but the big one is too easy to damage, and it is too heavy, making it inconvenient to use. After it broke twice, Han Cheng remembered the pot lid he used at home. After changing it, there was
Today’s pot lids are made of grass and leaves.)
When cooking the meat, add salt early to make it more flavorful.
The broth finally came out amidst everyone's expectations, and it did not disappoint. The broth tasted particularly delicious.
Even Junior Brother Sha, who didn't like to drink broth before, couldn't stop drinking it.
No one thought that eating such unpleasant "salt" alone, sprinkled on food and put it into soup would actually make the food so delicious!
The Son of God indeed never let them down!
In the inner cave, on the stone that was used as an altar in front of the totem pole, something new was now placed, not food, but a small half bowl of white salt.
The witch led the crowd to dance under the light of the fire, thanking God for giving such delicious salt to their Qingque tribe through the hands of the Son of God.
