Chapter 475 Dealing with Strange Beasts (1)
Separating the fur and simply decomposing the meat is only the first step in the processing. It can't even be called processing, it's just a simple classification of the harvest brought back.
The following work has been done before -
Freshly peeled fur needs to be tanned and stretched out on a rack in time, otherwise it will become dry and hard, and will shrink and deform, and a piece of high-quality fur will be wasted.
The separated animal meat cannot be stored directly in this way. In the current hot and humid weather, it is estimated that it will all become moldy and spoiled before the cold season comes in half a month.
Therefore, all of this animal meat must be pickled and air-dried to ensure that it can be preserved until the cold season and will not spoil prematurely.
However, there is still a big obstacle in front of us when it comes to processing this animal meat -
"Aye, we don't have enough salt now."
Xia Tian took out the salt that had been refined and stored in the cave. They were all stored in stone jars, two large jars in total.
In this animal world where exquisite snow salt is extremely precious, if these two cans of snow salt were placed in other tribes, they would be invaluable assets, and could even be exchanged for two females in a poor tribe!
But at the moment, Si Ye brought back too much animal meat. Even if these two cans were used up, it would not be enough. Moreover, salt is needed for daily cooking, so it is impossible not to leave some at home for backup.
To boil salt, you have to chop wood and wait for it to boil...
"Don't worry about that. I brought you some salt." Si Ye said as he took out a big bag that he and these strange beasts had brought back before.
He opened his pocket and showed it to Xia Tian, "Look, this is sea salt. Although it's not as white as our snow salt, it can be used just as well."
"Sea salt?" Xia Tian glanced at him and put her head into the pocket that Si Ye was holding.
What was in that bag... was more like a light blue sand than salt.
It was the first time she had seen "salt" of this color. Out of curiosity, she dipped a little with her finger on the tip of her tongue. The feeling of the cells shrinking rapidly reminded her that this was indeed sodium chloride.
However, in addition to the salty taste, this blue "sea salt" actually has a little sweetness, making it a seasoning with very complex taste levels.
"You said this is sea salt, then... did you get this at the beach?" Xia Tian didn't care why the salt was blue. After all, she had seen a lot of the magical laws of this world, so she paid more attention to the "sea".
Since Si Ye said this was sea salt, it meant that it was obtained from the seaside, and most importantly... he had been to the seaside.
You should know that the salt content in the ocean is very high. On Earth, people have always been using the practice of exposing seawater to the sun to obtain edible salt.
I don’t know why the sea salt here is light blue, but there is still an ocean!
Even if it's not for the salt we eat every day, the ocean still has a lot of material resources, all kinds of seafood and sea vegetables... Tsk, just thinking about it makes me feel good~
"Because there's limited prey nearby, we're traveling farther this time and stopping by the beach." Si Ye saw the look on Xia Tian's face and knew what she was expecting. He shook his head mercilessly, "There's ocean water over there in the South Region, but it's infested with mermaid orcs. They control the waters there, so we can only trade for what we want."
