Transmigrated to a poverty-stricken primitive tribe, she immediately faced a situation where her family of five was on the verge of starving to death. Her biological father had his hand bitten off ...

Chapter 7 Sweet Potato Flour

The little lamb looked like it had wandered in by mistake and was only a few days old. Haitang didn't care and followed her younger brother to surround it. Don't underestimate a three or four-year-old child.

But deep down, she was still ambitious enough to catch a lamb of similar size. So, Haitang took a vine and put it around the lamb, tightly binding it.

After the rope was tightened, Haitang breathed a sigh of relief. Just then, she looked at the stone, "Salt stone..."

When [Salt Stone] heard this voice, Haitang asked curiously, "System, was this place originally an ocean?"

"Yes," came the immediate reply, "this area you are in was originally the Pacific Ocean, but it has become land after many changes."

Upon hearing this, Haitang looked around and realized that it was no surprise to see these things there.

"Sister, what is this?" Yueyue asked, and Haitang smiled and looked at Yueyue.

"Salt, this is salt stone. Once you boil it, it will become salt." Haitang also said she knew how to make salt, so they could get it done now.

Haitang had her younger brothers search for it, and once they found it, they took it back with them. That night, Haitang started soaking the salt stones to make water and then began to cook. The food tasted the best that day.

When Shi Hu heard that Haitang and the others had encountered wild animals, he thought, "It seems that winter is coming. The wild animals can't find food anywhere else, so they start looking for food in the village. Otherwise, there are other ferocious beasts driving them away."

"Father, what are ferocious beasts?" Females rarely see ferocious beasts, and these beastmen rarely provoke them, so they have only heard of them.

“Even we wouldn’t dare to provoke those things.” Upon hearing this, Shi Hu spoke up, “But those things aren’t stupid; they won’t actively make enemies of the beastmen.”

Haitang nodded. Shi Hu looked at his daughter and felt a pang of heartache. That night, Shi Hu listened to his daughters working and felt a bittersweet feeling in his heart.

After boiling the crabapple in water, the salt stone dissolved. Then, the solution was spread out a short distance away. Under these conditions, because the sun was strong enough, by noon, white things started to appear.

When Haitang went to sleep, she let her younger siblings take care of her. Yesterday, all three children were asleep. When they woke up in the morning, they saw Haitang making delicious food and then went to sleep.

Yesterday, Guo'er, who said she would trade salt for a basket with the crabapple tree, came over. Upon hearing this, Xiao He immediately gave her a basket. Guo'er was very happy when she saw it, especially when she saw the sweet potatoes.

"What is this?" The sweet potato was huge. Upon hearing this, Xiaohe immediately pursed her lips.

"It's for starting a fire," Xiaohe said. Guo'er looked at Xiaohe and then at the firewood placed not far away, but she didn't ask any questions.

They thought it was edible, but the Haitang family left without asking. When Xiaohe watched Guo'er leave, she secretly started to cry.

She had just lied to many good children, but she was afraid to tell others that she and her brother would never be able to find sweet potatoes in the village again.

The tribe currently has about two hundred people, mostly females and beastmen. The winter is too long, and her father is unable to work, so she doesn't want others to take her away.

"Second sister..." Yueyue ran over, "Second sister, look, it's all better..." Hearing this, Xiaohe went to look and saw the white stuff on the stone slab that Haitang had asked her to watch in the morning. Was it salt?

"Go get the jar." Upon hearing this, Yueyue immediately went to get the jar, and after it was filled, Xiaohe sprinkled the remaining water on it.

When Haitang woke up, she realized it was already noon. She immediately got up to boil water, and Yueyue came over to help. "Sister, let me boil water for you." Hearing this, Haitang's heart melted, and she nodded.

Haitang is currently planning to make sweet potato noodles. Seeing that there are quite a few sweet potatoes left, she said, "Xingxing and I found them." Upon hearing this, Haitang nodded, feeling that these two children were really amazing.

Haitang started cooking sweet potatoes, and then filtered them with a piece of clothing. She had seen her family members do these things before, so she could do them now.

Under these circumstances, after preparing the sweet potato starch, Haitang asked Xingxing and Yueyue to help dig out the jelly-like fruit. The two of them immediately got to work.

Throughout the day, Haitang and others were making these two things. In winter, sweet potatoes can be used to make jelly, but they can't be kept for too long. However, the problem is that sweet potatoes always taste bad.

Looking at the basket not far away, Haitang thought that Yu could also have one, so she decided to go find Xiaoqiu, who hadn't gone to pick wild fruits today.

"Are you telling me to go outside and tell others that you're exchanging this basket for these small shrimp and fish?" he said, looking at the crabapple tree.

"Hmm." Haitang described the scout, which was about the size of a large bowl. Upon hearing this, Xiao Qiu nodded.

Xiao Qiu liked this basket, and upon hearing this, a woman asked her child to catch small fish and shrimp to exchange with Haitang. Haitang was very happy to see this.

Because there is a lot of salt in the salt stone, the next step for Haitang is to start curing the meat to prevent it from spoiling, since it is impossible to go a whole winter without eating meat.

The little lamb is currently trapped not far away. The stars will feed it. Over the next day, Haitang prepared a lot of meat and then dried small fish and shrimp.

The basket of crabapple blossoms was behind them, so they directly asked Xiao He to teach them. Compared to changing to someone else, there were more people willing to teach them right now.

When Haitang looked at the fish and shrimp, she left them to dry in the sun. Xingxing and Yueyue watched the fish and shrimp dry at home and then planned to put them away, saying, "Sister, you can't get enough to eat with all this stuff."

"Yes, but it can be used for other things." Haitang said with a smile. She had made quite a lot of sweet potato starch, and it would taste even better when eaten with vermicelli.

Haitang had her younger brothers dry the fish and shrimp, and after she finished processing the sweet potato starch, she started looking for food. Actually, Haitang felt that she wouldn't be able to find anything by herself in the current situation.

Moreover, someone might have seen these sweet potatoes somewhere before. If there are more people, they can act together and she can take a cut. Also, she plans to exchange them for other items at the upcoming trade fair.

Haitang thought of it and decided to make it, but she didn't do it immediately. Instead, she decided to go and pick the vermicelli and shrimp with Xiaoqiu and the others.

The crabapple's noodles were currently placed directly on leaves and carried in a small basket. "Let's go a bit further today, maybe we'll find something good." Hearing this, the crabapple nodded.
