The gray bird held the charcoal, its expression one of great excitement.
"Sage Si Yan, is this the answer to your bonus question? This tool can indeed help many weak beastmen."
Si Yan replied, "No."
"No?" This charcoal could have stood out with its exceptionally outstanding performance.
So this wasn't the tool she was supposed to hand over?
On the second day of the Talented Scholars Competition, the opening act was a critical hit, and Jin Yao and the others stopped what they were doing and looked in Si Yan's direction.
Jin Yao asked, "Fourth Brother, what is charcoal?"
Jin Yang shook his head. "I've never seen charcoal before, nor have I ever heard of it. I don't know where Lao Liu got such a thing from."
After thinking for a moment, Jin Yang said, "However, the Golden Dragon clan also likes to use firewood. Many females like to eat hot food, but they suffer from the excessive smoke from firewood. If something that burns for a long time and produces little smoke were available, winter would indeed be much easier."
After saying that, Jin Yang inadvertently revealed a hint of admiration for Si Yan.
Jin Yang went to see Si Yan again.
Jin Yao's heart clenched once again.
She pursed her lips, her mouth twitched slightly, and said insincerely, "Sixth Sister is amazing."
"Sixth Brother did a good job," Jin Yang said, turning his head. "Yao Yao, don't worry. We have the Heavy Wood here. We can't lose."
Jin Yao felt a strong sense of oppression. She nodded, gritted her teeth, and arrogantly said to the orc traveling with her, "Go find my other brothers first and have them ask the tribe's wise man what charcoal is."
"Yes, Miss."
After saying that, the orc left.
After the orcs left, Jin Yao said to Jin Yang, "Fourth Brother, let's deal with the meat first."
What they received was pork that Jin Yang had specially sourced from outside; Jin Yang had already taken charge of hunting, cleaning, and cutting it into strips.
Therefore, the part of salting and curing that followed was definitely done by Jin Yao.
After all, if Jin Yao does nothing, no one will recognize her as a wise woman.
Jin Yao grew up in the Golden Dragon Clan, enjoying a life of luxury from a young age, and ate only refined salt. Therefore, she didn't hesitate to use refined salt to cure meat.
She threw in handfuls of salt, coating each piece of meat with a thick layer of salt, inside and out!
The beastmen watching from outside were dumbfounded.
"Oh my goodness, is this how you use salt? This isn't coarse salt, it's snow-white and looks like extremely precious refined salt!"
"Salt is worth way more than meat, way more! How can it be used like this?!"
"If I need this much salt to store a piece of meat, I might as well not eat it!"
Si Yan, who was peeling red berries with Tyson, glanced back.
Then he turned around.
A well-fed person doesn't know the hunger of an starving person. Jin Yao didn't understand what salt represented in most parts of the beast world.
In reality, while it is true that a lot of salt is needed to marinate these meats, it is not necessary to use such a large amount of salt at all. Moreover, coarse salt is sufficient, and there is no need for refined salt.
Jin Yao heard the discussion outside and paused in her movements.
Jin Yang, however, said dismissively, "Jin Yao, in the Golden Dragon Clan, this little bit of salt is nothing."
"Um!"
Jin Yao nodded and continued to use a large amount of refined salt to marinate the pork.
After processing a large amount of meat, Jin Yao and Jin Yang planned to throw away all the bones, head, and internal organs of the stone.
Jin Yang was about to throw the trash away when Si Yan came running over.
Jin Yang was a little surprised to see Lao Liu running over to him.
Si Yan asked, "You don't want these things anymore, right?"
Jin Yang nodded: "They're all useless trash, I'm going to throw them away."
A smile bloomed on Si Yan's face.
She could see how fat this pig was.
This is a pig's head, pig's ears, pig's nose, and pig's snout.
And there are also these pink and tender spare ribs, large intestines, pig liver, pig heart, and pig lungs.
Oh my god!
Si Yan hid her drool and said, "Since you don't want it, give it to me. It'll be a waste."
It was just some unwanted prey scraps. Jin Yang naturally didn't think anything of it and gave it to her directly.
While returning it to her, he began to lecture her. "Sixth brother, look at you! Instead of returning to the Golden Dragon Clan, you're picking up these things that others don't want."
“What others don’t want might be a treasure to me.” Si Yan smiled at Jin Yang, then took these treasures back to her territory.
Tyson and Jin Yang dug up a large pile of sweet potatoes as Si Yan had requested.
Si Yan had them dig a large stone vat, then put a stone slab on top of it, and placed the sweet potatoes on it to steam them.
Then grind it into powder.
Then, using a piece of clean, white gauze that Si Yan had left behind, she gave it to Tyson and asked him to squeeze out the water from the sweet potato.
All the water was put into a wooden bucket, the lid was put on, and it was prepared to sit overnight.
While Tyson and Jin Yang were busy, Si Yan had already prepared all the parts of the pig.
She now has more and more ingredients, enough for her to make more and better food.
She set up a large pot on the other side and began to braise the food.
Although there are many ways to cook different parts of the food, this time, with so much food at once, braising it all at once is the most convenient and fastest option.
This pot of braised meat contains pig ears, pig head meat, pig snout, pig tongue, and even pig intestines that have been cleaned with wood ash.
Meanwhile, she set up a large pot on the other side and started simmering pork rib soup.
