Meng Changjin didn’t know what roasted yam tasted like, but she had eaten steamed yam, fried yam and boiled yam.

It tastes good. It is said that different yams have different tastes. The yams Meng Changjin has eaten all have a crispy texture, which is quite good.

Roasting yam is very simple. Just throw the yam into the firewood pile and leave the rest to time.

Although it seemed ridiculous to eat something that would make your body itchy when touched, everyone in the tribe now knew that Meng Changjin was special.

God-given person!

What an honor it is.

It is also because of this that the people of the Yan tribe now treat Meng Changjin second only to the Great Witch and with more respect than the three chiefs.

The three leaders didn't care about this.

The purpose of the three leaders' existence is to ensure that the tribe has enough food and does not freeze to death.

The leader of a tribe is not a symbol of status and power, but a bearer of responsibilities and burdens.

They couldn't ask for more if someone wanted to build the tribe and make it better.

And if someone has done all these, is there anything wrong with being respected? No!

Not only did the others respect Meng Changjin, but the three leaders did too.

Meng Changjin's current abilities are already worthy of their efforts.

While waiting for the yam to be roasted, Meng Changjin collected all the yam seeds.

The seeds of yam are actually the small oblong bumps behind the yam leaves.

Meng Changjin had no idea what kind of soil was needed to grow yam.

She had never studied this, so she could only solve most of the problems by warming the seeds and allowing them to mutate to become tougher and easier to survive.

Farming is actually not as simple as imagined.

It looks like throwing a seed into the soil, but is it really like that? Of course not.

The quality of seeds, the moisture level of the soil, fertilizer...these are the key factors that affect whether or not there will be a harvest.

But Meng Changjin was not the one who studied these things. All she could do was to charge the seeds with some spiritual power and then plant them randomly.

If you can survive, survive. If you can't, you can only find a ready-made one.

There are so many good things in the mountains and forests, but the people in the tribe don’t know about them and dare not try them.

It’s like the first person who ate crabs. If not for the first person who ate the crabs, who would know that crabs are edible?

What Meng Changjin wants to do now is to let everyone know about more things to eat instead of relying entirely on hunting.

After infusing spiritual power into the yam seeds for a while and ensuring that each seed was full of spiritual power, Meng Changjin sniffed and smelled a hint of fragrance.

It was the yam she threw into the fire!

Meng Changjin walked over a few steps, found a stick, pulled out a few yams from the fire, shook off the ashes, and peeled off the burnt outer shells. The aroma of roasted yams wafted out.

There were quite a lot of people turning the soil, but there were very few yams, so each person only got a small piece.

The same went for Meng Changjin, with only a small piece of roasted yam left.

Meng Changjin had no idea what a small piece of roasted yam tasted like, but everyone in the Yan tribe strongly supported Meng Changjin's proposal to grow yam.

The yam was planted in the land where the yam was found. After all, I didn’t know how to choose suitable land, so I decided to choose the place where it grew!

Plowing the soil and planting crops are all strenuous work.

But what the tribesmen had the most was strength. It took them five days to plant all the rice that Meng Changjin "brought" back and the yam he found while turning the soil.

These two things are foods that can be preserved for a relatively long time. If they can survive, then during the long winter, at least people won't starve to death due to food shortages.

After five days of farming, everyone had some free time.

Of course, the tribesmen have no free time at all. After planting the crops, they have to go out hunting.

Hunting is the main source of food for the tribesmen.

If the hunting team wants to go out hunting, they have to prepare stone tools in advance.

After another five days of preparing stone tools, the second team of hunters were about to set out to hunt in the mountains.

There are fewer hunting team members this time. The first hunt in spring is the most dangerous, so there are the most people.

But for daily hunting, there won’t be so many people.

The people who went out hunting this time were the ones who were unable to go out last time.

Those who went out last time will not go out this time.

Except Meng Changjin.

Others don't go out because it takes a long time to make stone tools.

Even though it only took the second team five days, that was actually the five days spent this time, which does not mean it only took five days in total.

When the first team went out hunting, they had actually already been fighting. These five days were just the finishing process.

Meng Changjin was going to go out hunting again, and many people actually strongly disapproved of it.

Meng Changjin's status gradually grew, and he was second only to the Great Witch.

If the Great Witch went out hunting, everyone would also disapprove.

But the problem is that Meng Changjin is not a great witch after all, and the great witch agreed to let Meng Changjin go out hunting, so the others can only worry. At the same time, he instructed the hunting team members who went out hunting together to protect Meng Changjin's personal safety.

Regarding this, the people in the first echelon, who had hunted with Meng Changjin, did not say anything. They all patted their familiar friends on the shoulders and reminded them meaningfully to protect Meng Changjin.

Why is it so meaningful? After the hunting team members have hunted with Meng Changjin once, they will naturally know.

In the Yan tribe, every time a hunting team goes out hunting, there is a ceremony of being spread by fire.

Meng Changjin already knew the purpose of this ceremony, so the dance before each ceremony...she still had to dance along.

After performing a dance that was like performing a divine dance and the fire spreading, the second echelon of hunting teams set off in a mighty manner.

One day after the hunting team that Meng Changjin followed set off, half of the remaining hunting team members who stayed in the tribe took their prey to the Jing tribe to exchange for salt.

This year, the first echelon of the Yan tribe was really awesome. They hunted a lot of prey, and everyone got a bigger share. With more prey, it took longer to eat, and after a long time, the prey would go bad.

And by pickling with salt, the speed of spoilage can be slowed down.

Since everyone has plenty of food, no one minds taking some out to exchange for salt.

The people of the Jing tribe are not very strong or good at hunting, but they have salt that everyone else needs, so the Jing tribe has become a barter trading center.

People from the surrounding tribes would choose to go to the Jing Tribe to exchange for salt.

It goes without saying that salt is important to primitive tribes.

In the early days, many people wanted to attack the Crystal Tribe.

If we could have so much salt, we wouldn't have to go hunting in the mountains.

But it turns out that I was thinking too much.

If the salt of the Crystal Tribe is extracted through salt wells or salt lakes, then by attacking the Crystal Tribe and obtaining the salt extraction process, they will also be able to learn the salt production process.

But the fact is, the salt of the Crystal Tribe is produced by the fire of the Crystal Tribe. Attacking the Crystal Tribe will not only fail to obtain unlimited salt, but will instead lose all the salt.

Now, all the tribes that were planning to attack the Jing Tribe gave up the idea of ​​attacking the Jing Tribe.

But attacking is not possible, what about control? !

Control the people of the Crystal Tribe, let their fire produce salt, and then use the salt to exchange for food, wouldn't that be great?! I don't know if it's great, but it's definitely a waste of money.

In order for the fire to produce salt, the great witch of the Crystal Tribe must perform some rituals.

Wanting to control the Crystal Tribe to produce salt for other tribes is just a foolish dream.

There is no way the people of the Crystal Tribe would agree to this, and as long as they don't agree, no one else can take a single drop of salt away from the Crystal Tribe.

Even though the threat of destroying the tribe was raised, the people of the Crystal Tribe were not afraid at all.

Are they really not afraid of death or the destruction of their tribe?

no.

But they knew that salt was important to all tribes, and as long as they did not nod or bow their heads, other tribes would not watch their tribe being destroyed.

After all, if the Crystal Tribe is destroyed, how will the other tribes preserve their prey for the winter? ! This is indeed the case. The Crystal Tribe is too important and its safety must be guaranteed.

The tribe that tried to control the Crystal Tribe to produce salt for it was eventually beaten half-crippled by several tribes joining forces.

From then on, he disappeared from the sight of these tribes. No one knew whether he was secretly wiped out by one of the tribes, or for other reasons, but no one from this tribe was seen again.

After what happened before, no tribe would do stupid things like the previous tribe.

The Crystal Tribe is actually still everyone’s salt warehouse, but at least on the surface, it has more dignity.

Meng Changjin naturally didn't know about these things. If she knew there was such a spark, she would definitely be very interested.

It can actually produce salt! This really broke Meng Changjin's imagination of fire.

At the same time, if Meng Changjin knew that salt could be exchanged in this way, he would definitely lead everyone to hunt more, exchange more salt, and make smoked bacon.

Of course, Meng Changjin doesn’t know it now, but she will know it soon.

After entering the forest, the hunting team members of the second echelon finally understood why the hunting team members of the first echelon patted their shoulders meaningfully and asked them to protect Meng Changjin before they set off.

Because Meng Changjin doesn't need their protection at all.

On the contrary, sometimes it was Meng Changjin who protected them.

Is this shameful?

It's quite embarrassing.

After all, in terms of age, how old is Meng Changjin? How old are they?

It felt like they were out hunting and they were supposed to protect the newcomers, but in the end they were the ones being protected by the newcomers.

This made everyone in the second-tier hunting team feel very sour.

This hunting process was much easier than before, and the harvest was even greater than previous hunts.

But the physical relaxation cannot offset the pain in the heart.

While they felt bitter inside, they also realized how powerful Meng Changjin was.

Now, they finally understood why the first-team hunting team members were so sincere in advocating Meng Changjin after returning.

A hunt ended so easily.

When they carried the prey back, they were happy but also a little sad.

The tribal people acknowledge the strength of others, but they also hope to be as strong.

If he is just a little bit stronger, then everyone will definitely try to surpass him with great enthusiasm. But if he is too strong, they can't surpass him no matter how hard they try, so they will naturally feel depressed.

When we came back from hunting in the mountains, the people who went to the Crystal Tribe to exchange for salt had not returned yet.

Hunting with Meng Changjin always ended too quickly.

The journey from the Yan tribe to the Jing tribe is quite long.

When I came back, I found that someone was missing. After asking, I found out that he had gone to change salt.

Meng Changjin also asked about the salt exchange.

When Meng Changjin heard this, he was shocked.

Salt is actually produced by fire. This completely subverts Meng Changjin's three views.

Although she doesn't have any values.

However, it did refresh Meng Changjin's understanding of fire.

Originally, she thought that the fact that fire could increase human strength and the toughness of weapons, as well as destroy corpses, was already very miraculous.

But although these are strange, they are understandable in the eyes of Meng Changjin, a cultivator.

However, this salt-producing fire made Meng Changjin realize that she had underestimated fire.

What a pity, the fire of the primitive tribe is vital to every tribe.

It is impossible to let outsiders see it, otherwise Meng Changjin really wants to travel all over this land and see the fire of every tribe.

Of course, that’s what Meng Changjin thought.

At this critical moment, of course the mission comes first, and everything else can be put aside.

After completing the task, maybe she can go out for a walk. Whether she can see the fire of each tribe depends on luck.

If she is lucky enough to meet a tribe that is willing to show it to her, then she can watch it.

Unfortunately, she encountered a tribe that was unwilling to show her the fire. Meng Changjin was not willing to destroy the tribe just to see a fire.

The second group of hunting team came back from hunting and everyone divided the prey again.

Those who went out to exchange salt were either taken care of by their family members, or those who had no family members would stay with the leader, and when they came back, they would go to the leader to get it.

The Yan tribe had achieved fruitful results in the first two hunting trips, so there was no rush for the third hunting trip.

Because there is a lot of animal meat in the tribe now, and without salt to pickle it, it cannot be kept for too long.

Meng Changjin had no idea how much salt the team could get back.

Because there was no hunting team out hunting, Meng Changjin wanted to go out hunting alone, but the great witch and the leader would never agree.

Meng Changjin was not planning to go hunting alone.

She was also planning to wait for the salt changing team to come back and check on the salt changing situation.
