Is it possible to keep these damaged fruits intact?

Wu, the eldest senior brother, and other people who understood Han Cheng's meaning couldn't help but widen their eyes, looked at the pile of fruits on the ground, then looked at the Son of God who seemed confident, and then touched their heads in confusion.

Could it be that the Son of God was planning to pickle these fruits with salt and hang them outside to dry, just like he did with the salted fish?

Sprinkle salt on the fruit, the taste...

Many people from the Qingque tribe who had eaten like this before couldn't help but grin.

Or do we need to boil these fruits in water, dry them, and then store them, just like we did with wild vegetables?

They couldn't think of a good solution.

The eldest brother took out some fish, meat, and vegetables and asked people to make soup. He knew that since the Son of God said so, there must be a solution and he would not watch the fruits rot.

After dinner, Han Cheng saw that everyone was still awake, so he began to order them to do something - find as many empty jars as possible in the tribe and clean them with water.

The next day, the strong people like the eldest brother went to pick the fruits, while the minors and the weak stayed in the tribe and followed Han Cheng's instructions to peel the broken fruits with the only iron knife and a large number of bone knives.

Ever since the people of the Bone Tribe merged into the Green Bird Tribe, bone knives have become less scarce. Most people in this tribe are good at making bone tools.

The peeled fruits are placed in a large ceramic basin filled with clean water. After washing, they are placed in clean wooden baskets according to their categories and wait for use.

There was a fire burning under two large pottery jars. Two people, Fire One and Fire Two, were tending the flames. There was half a jar of water in the jars, which was steaming from the fire.

"Crash"

A basket of peach-like fruits was poured into a water tank, covered with a lid and boiled. (There are early-ripening peaches in May, and there are also slow peaches that don’t ripen until late autumn.)

A fragrance different from that of fresh fruit soon wafted out.

After boiling for a while, Han Cheng scooped out some to taste. It was sour and sweet and tasted pretty good.

Seeing that they were almost cooked, Han Cheng had someone scoop them out of the jar and put them in a large basin that had been prepared to wait for them to cool.

Taste it after it cools down, it tastes better than when it was hot.

Everyone who works here gets a small bowl of the delicious food, and they all praise the meal.

In order to make the fruit taste better, Han Cheng did not add too much water, so the water contains a high sugar content. If it accidentally splashes on your hands, you will feel a sticky feeling when you touch it after a while.

This rich sour and sweet taste cannot be compared to simply eating the fruit.

Everyone who eats these for the first time is conquered by the taste.

Sister Bai Xue drank some water carefully and then closed her eyes comfortably.

I couldn't bear to drink too much at one time, and it took me a long time to finish a small bowl of boiled fruit juice.

The reactions of the others who were given the fruit juice were not much different from Snow White's. They all cherished it very much, even more than children in later generations seeing candy.

Everyone looked at Han Cheng, their bright eyes full of admiration.

The broken fruits can become so delicious after being processed in this way, even better than good fruits!

When they tasted this flavor for the first time, they wanted to cook all kinds of fruits in this way.

The witch watched carefully from the side, preparing to record this method again. This time he did not let Shi Tou do it, but prepared to do it himself.

wrong.

The witch came back to his senses from this taste, which was different from salt but just as delicious, and remembered something.

After the Son of God did this, the fruit tasted better than before, but the problem of long-term storage has not been solved. This...

When he was about to ask, Han Cheng started to have people mix the already cooled fruit pulp with juice and put it into the jars that had been cleaned last night.

After filling, they sealed the mouth of the jar with a kind of very broad and oily leaves that grew near their tribe, covered the outside with a layer of mixed mud, and then had people carry it to a deep cave in the house for storage.

What Han Cheng did was the primitive and simple version of canning.

Canned food is a delicious way to deal with broken fruits.

When I was a child, many families would bring a can of canned fruit as a gift during the Chinese New Year. In those days, this thing was simply the favorite of children.

"Ding ding dong, ding ding dong..."

There's no 'Jingle Bells' after it.

The leaves fell on a large scale, and the white frost turned the originally bright red leaves purple.

The air became completely cold, and white mist was coming out of everyone's mouth and nose.

Such cold weather could not stop the Qingque tribe's enthusiasm for blacksmithing.

The shiny iron was taken out of the furnace and placed on the thick stone slab used for blacksmithing. The axe that had been prepared in advance quickly fell and hit the red-hot iron hard, practicing the popular saying "strike while the iron is hot".

After two days of hammering, this largest piece of iron finally took shape.

“Squeak~!”

The red-hot iron was put into the water, and white hot air rose up with a somewhat harsh sound, and at the same time, an unpleasant smell spread.

Of course the smell is not pleasant, because the water used for quenching is not ordinary water, but pure boy's urine!

Han Cheng couldn't remember where he had seen this method, but he vaguely remembered that ironware made in this way would have better performance than those made with ordinary water.

For Han Cheng, who is trying every means to improve the quality of iron tools, he would naturally not miss such a method.

In fact, any human urine would do. The reason why Han Cheng used boy's urine was because he deliberately raised the threshold. After all, boy's urine is said to be magical in many places...

The iron smelted this time weighed more than four pounds and less than five pounds.

Some wanted to make knives, some wanted to make hammers, some wanted needles, some wanted iron arrowheads…

Compared with the huge demand, there are still too many wolves and too little meat.

The first iron tool made this time was completely different from what everyone desired. It was not a hammer or an iron knife, nor an iron needle or arrowhead, but an iron rod.

To be precise, it is an iron rod with a sharp end.

This iron rod is not light, it weighs one and a half pounds!

This time, the iron that was just obtained was not used at all, and almost one third of it was used up!

Looking at this freshly made iron tool, the people of the Green Bird Tribe looked at each other in bewilderment. They didn't understand why the Son of God, with so many other things to make, chose to make such a useless and not very useful iron stick.

Are you planning to attach this iron stick to the wooden gun and use it to kill prey?

Everyone looked at this seemingly strange iron rod and used their imaginations to think about it.
