Chapter 95 Active Promotion

Lianyi first taught the females of the tribe how to refine oil. The oil from fat and strong red-brissed pigs was the first choice. After the stone pot was heated, the diced white lard was put into the pot. Through constant stirring, the white diced oil gradually melted due to the heat.

When the lard cubes shrink to the size of a little finger nail and turn brown, you can fish them out. The females will salivate at the smell of the burnt aroma, while the cubs will cling to their mothers, wishing they could stick their entire bodies inside.

"This oil residue can be eaten, and can also be fried with meat slices."

Lianyi briefly explained the method, and the females around her took careful notes, preparing to try it when they returned.

Then Lianyi put the cut and marinated meat into the oil pan and started to fry the meat. During the frying process, he had to constantly turn the meat over to ensure that every side was fried. After a while, the aroma of meat wafted in the square, and the greedy cubs drooled.

After the meat chunks are fried, the next step is to fry the meat slices. Because it is pure meat, there are also sliced ​​ginger slices in the oil pan as seasoning. The frying time needs to be controlled well, otherwise the meat slices will be burnt.

After the meat was fried, Lianyi used the remaining oil to stir-fry a plate of shredded ginger pork and let the females and the noisy cubs taste it. The shredded ginger covered the fishy smell of the meat, and with the addition of salt and scallions, the taste was very attractive.

The next step is to make durable dried meat. At this time, the meat cooked in the stone pot next to it is already 70% cooked. Lianyi took out the meat and then told everyone what they needed to put in when cooking the meat.

"The raw meat must be washed to remove the blood. This way, the cooked meat will not spoil easily because it has no impurities. The water in the stone pot must cover the meat, so the meat cannot be too full.

Put these spicy slices (ginger slices), these red screaming fruits (red peppers), and these dried aniseed (star anise) in it, and then take the meat out when it is 70% cooked.

After the meat has cooled down, slice it, brush a layer of fried oil on this thin stone slab, then put the meat slices on it and bake it little by little, making sure to heat it evenly. Wait until the moisture in the meat is dried up, and then it's done.

If you want to keep it longer, wait until the meat is dry, and then follow the method I just taught you to stir-fry the meat. Then the moisture inside will be completely gone. As long as it is not damp, sealed and placed in a cool place, it can be stored throughout the harvest season. After the cold season, it will almost never go bad, and there is enough to eat until the warm season next year."

Because they had eaten fried pork slices before, the people of the Black Snake Tribe were convinced by Lianyi's words. After learning the method, starting from the next day, the aroma of fried meat began to waft over the Black Snake Tribe's territory. Everyone was seizing the time to familiarize themselves with the production process and to prepare food that could be stored longer for the male orcs who went out hunting.

In this way, they could hunt in places farther away from the territory without worrying about disturbing the prey by starting a fire to cook food. For a time, Lianyi was welcomed by the entire Black Snake Tribe. Even the unpopular Du was less hostile to by the tribe members, after all, he was Lianyi's follower.

Lianyi went to see Wu's small pharmacy and found some spicy spices in it, such as star anise, peppercorns, tangerine peel, ginger slices, etc. She pointed them out one by one and told Wu that these things can not only be used for medicinal purposes, but can also be used to make seasonings to make food delicious.

Then mix the ground ingredients together to make barbecue seasoning. When grilling meat, adding a little of this seasoning in addition to salt will make the meat taste better.

After finishing all these, Lianyi, under Tai's leadership, began to look for new food in the black snake tribe's territory.

Lianyi discovered that in the black snake tribe’s territory, there was a specialty belonging to their tribe, called snake fruit. The fruit was red and about the size of a baby’s fist, with a thin and juicy skin. After eating it, the black snake cubs could strengthen their physique.

However, this fruit only starts to grow in the warm season, matures once in the hot season and once in the harvest season, and withers in the rainy season and cold season. Moreover, it can only be stored for one month after being picked. If stored for longer, it will shrivele and its nutritional value will decrease.

However, this kind of fruit cannot be stored in the rainy season and will directly deteriorate and become poisonous. The tribesmen did not know this before, and carefully saved a few snake fruits for their unborn children. As a result, after eating the shriveled fruit, a baby died directly, and even the witch could not save it.

After all, everyone knows that snake fruit can strengthen the physique of young children, so no one ever thought that this fruit would become poisonous in the rainy season, which caught everyone off guard.

"From then on, the tribe members ate the snake fruit directly in the hot and harvest seasons, and no longer stored it. Everyone also tried to get pregnant in the cold and warm seasons, and gave birth to cubs in the hot and harvest seasons of the following year. However, these two seasons are the time to store food and resist wild beasts, so male orcs are best not to be distracted."

Tai did not hide anything and told Lianyi directly that he hoped the female could find a way to store the snake fruit for a long time.

Lianyi looked at the newly grown snake fruit. It was obvious that the fruit was not ripe yet. She decided to wait and see. She should be able to eat this fruit during the hot season.

Then she found a field of potatoes with ease. These potatoes were buried underground and had never been excavated. Each potato was huge, and the smallest one was as big as an adult orc's fist.

That day, Tai and his team members had a meal of baked potatoes, roast potatoes with meat, and potato stew with meat. While they were very satisfied with the meal, they also found that potatoes could easily fill their stomachs.

With the appetite of adult orcs, six people should kill at least one prey, but after eating potatoes, they only ate half of the prey, and it did not affect their strength. This was another major discovery.

"This food was discovered by a female from the Lion Tribe. I was attacked because I was separated from the group while picking these potatoes."

Lianyi disdained to take credit from Yan Jia and directly explained the situation. Her goal was to benefit all the orc tribes.

"Okay, I'll tell the clan leader."

Tai agreed seriously and immediately arranged for a team member to carry a hide bag of potatoes back to the tribe to let everyone know about this food. The warm season harvest had also begun, and the females had new food to look for, which was a great thing.

Because Lianyi started this, Tai and the others became keen on digging. Whenever they dug up something unfamiliar, they would give it to Lianyi for identification, and they would not miss any opportunity to find new food.

They actually found a brown root-like thing, dug it out and asked Lianyi to identify it. After looking at it, Lianyi told Tai that it was a fern plant that contained a lot of starch, called fern root. The things made with it could be stored for a long time, which surprised the orcs of the Black Snake Clan.
