Chapter 57: Salt

 After returning to the tribe, Chen Chao drilled into the second rabbit house. Oh, it should be called the power center of the Tianyuan tribe.

    The little stone was also put down by Yuan, so wherever Chen Chao went, the little stone followed.

    The dirt pit in the house has not yet been fired. There are three animal skin beds neatly laid on the top. In addition to the bottom one, there is one that should be on the top.

    Even the little old man who was most reluctant to use new things on weekdays took away his old and stinky skins from the first day he got the skins and used clean and warm new skins.

    As for the old animal skins, I didn't lose them, although everyone in the tribe started to dislike the old animal skins after seeing the new animal skins. But it’s impossible to lose things. The old animal skins in the tribe were kept in the rabbit house by the little old man.

    You don't need it when you sleep, and sometimes you need it on the rattan basket of the collection team, otherwise Dole will panic.

    The little old man with the horns still plausibly said to Chen Chao, "What the rabbits do in such a good house, I just put a few pieces of animal skins and sprinkle them~~ I didn't drive them out~~

    But what Chen Chao didn't know was , This passage is the result of repeated practice by the little old man, just to deal with the draft when Chen Chao came back and saw the rabbit house occupied again. He didn't say anything neatly, but the excuse he made up was repeatedly pondered by himself, and he said it smoothly after repeated practice.

    Chen Chao originally planned to lie down and sleep, but after looking at the blood stains on his body, he sighed, but he could not stain the new animal skin.

    After cleaning up my body, I fell asleep very dimly and didn't wake up until the next afternoon.

    Due to the large number of prey harvested yesterday, the hunting team and the gathering team did not go out today, and they have been processing prey in the tribe.

    Seeing that after Chen Chao woke up, he didn't mean to care about the rabbit house with him. The little old man first looked at the wound on Chen Chao's body, and then asked his old classmate to bring a pot of pork stewed chestnut soup and let him take a few mouthfuls first. .

    After Chen Chao drank a few sips of chestnut soup, he felt that his mouth was really dull, and he stretched out and walked down the kang to the outside of the house.

    After all, I haven't slept all day and night, and after going out for so many days, I haven't slept well, and now I am finally full.

    Chen Chao, who was still yawning, remembered the rattan basket he had brought back, and planned to check his harvest.

    Let the old man in the tribe help himself to boil a pot of hot water, and he plans to clean the wound again later.

    By the way, Da Zhuang put the rattan basket outside the house and brought out the pork stew and chestnut soup brought by Wu.

    After everything was ready, Chen Chao took things out of the rattan baskets in front of the entire tribe. The outermost one is the Chinese cabbage seedlings, only 11 trees remain.

    Although every cabbage seedling nowadays is precious, Chen Chao still intends to give one to the people in the tribe to taste it. For no reason, he just wants to round up.

    There is no special layer of dried bacon, but where there is a place to plug it, so the dried dried meat is taken out second. The little old man thought it was meat, so he took a clean clay pot to put it in. And the moa egg killer Yi also took out the bacon he had just picked up and put it in a clay pot. The amount of bacon can fill a whole clay pot.

    And the third one was salt, with 15 animal skin bags. Chen Chao asked the little old man to bring the pork stewed chestnut soup, and asked for a clean spoon, opened the animal skin bag with salt, and carefully sprinkled a little salt in it.

    Then he picked up the spoon in the clay pot and tasted it. It was a little bit less and added a little more. He took a spoon and fed it to the little old man who was holding the clay pot.

    When the soup mixed with the savory flavor of wild boar and the sweet aroma of chestnuts entered Wu's mouth, he was taken aback. It's delicious? what's the situation?

    ヾ(O???)? ヾ delicious!

    Why is there a completely different effect just by adding a little thing? Is this the pork stewed chestnut soup we often drink!

    Wu carefully savored the taste in his mouth, it was like the salty stone bought before in the tribe~

    Yuan on the side was also very curious to see the expression on Wu's face. Could it be better to add this thing? Is there anything in this world that is better than pork stewed chestnut soup?

    He also placed the pottery pot in the hands of Da Zhuang next to him, took a soup ladle and took a sip of the soup. After drinking the first sip of the soup, Yuan knew he was wrong!

    He was so wrong!

    Of course there is something better than pork stewed chestnut soup in the world!

    ヾ(O???)? ヾ delicious!

    That is the upgraded pork stewed chestnut soup~~~ While

    Yuan fed Da Zhuang a bite of the soup, Da Zhuang is also ヾ(o???)? ヾ delicious and delicious!

    Then Yuan scooped another piece of wild pork, ah~~~

    But how does this wild pork taste weird! But it's delicious! ! It seems to have a similar feeling before...but it's not so delicious!

    But he didn't have time to think about it, because his hands could no longer control the spoonfuls of soup, and he also ate wild pork, which distorted the face of the big Zhuang next to him!

    ヽ(●-`Д′-)ノ oooooooooooooooooooooooo I want to eat! !

    When Yuan reacted, the soup that was originally reserved for Chen Chao had already been drunk by him. Yuan couldn’t help but blushed, he didn’t know what was wrong... the person who ate just now was not like himself at all...

    Wu looked at Yuanhe Hunting Team and the others who were enjoying their meal , and finished eating. One more pot!

    I didn't notice such an important thing at first glance!

    The leader Yuan and the other people in the hunting team can not pay attention, but as a witch of a tribe, he has to take this matter to heart!

    This is salty stone!

    He took a closer look at the salt in the animal skin bag, which was different from the salty stones he had seen. The little old man with the horns stretched out a finger and stuck it on the salt of the animal skin, and his features were twisted at that time.

    But even though the things in his mouth were so salty and bitter, he still didn't want to vomit it out. He has tasted this thing, now he can be sure!

    It's salty rock!

    The taste is a little different, not only is it not bitter at all, but it also has no strange taste. And now he also understands that the bitterness in his mouth is purely eating too much...

    There used to be a tribe far away with a little bit of this thing, and it exchanged a lot of animal skins and meat from the tribe. After eating this thing, they can hunt vigorously without drinking the blood of beasts. It was because the tribe was too poor.

    Because that tribe requires men to be exchanged, a small bag needs an adult man or 2 adult women, half-sized children need 3, and girls need 4, and too small children don’t.

    How could Tianyuan tribes afford this price? In the beginning, they weren't so expensive. In the beginning, only two or three pieces of animal skins can be exchanged for a small animal skin bag of salted stone, which is about the way the palm can hold it.

    But then it didn't. Later, the tribe saw that the Tianyuan tribe's demand began to increase, so it started to increase the price. A small bag of salted stone with animal skins needs to be exchanged for ten animal skins. If you don’t change it...

    then there are naturally other tribes willing to change it!

    But a small bag of salted stone with animal skins is not enough for everyone in the tribe to eat for a month. It is too expensive and really can't afford it. But if they don't eat, they will have to drink the blood of wild beasts to have strength when hunting.

    It’s not that the Tianyuan tribe has not moved other thoughts, but that tribe has more than a dozen mature men who go out to change salt, and several mature men have been replaced by other tribes. There are also more than a dozen adult women. Yes, one of them still took his own child.

    At that time, everyone in the Tianyuan tribe could not do anything with them. And there are so many people going out, indicating that there are more people in their tribe. Maybe it is bigger than the biggest tribe I have ever seen!

    And if they have this thing, they can constantly trade in population from other tribes, and their tribe can always grow bigger. A tribe that can keep getting bigger, how dare the Tianyuan tribe move any crooked minds.

    'Now where did their deputy chief get so many? Last time he didn't see that the tribe had so many, and it was such a good salt stone, this wouldn't be the top inventory in the family, and then his deputy chief alone gave that big tribe, right? 'The

    expression on the face of the little old man with the horns on his face is uncertain. Don't give it back to others. He is afraid of revenge. Give it back to others, and can't bear the salty stones in these animal skin bags. You know that in the past, these salty rocks could replace the entire tribe of people!

    Chen Chao looked at the expression on the little old man and knew that he must have been stunned, "This little old man, eating salt is not the way to eat it, now it's all right, let's stop. '
