But, is it really habitable?
Although it looks good, is it really habitable?
Wouldn't it be very cold to live in such a thin wooden board? Everyone in the tribe was skeptical.
Meng Changjin ignored them. They thought the wooden boards of Meng Changjin's wooden house were too thin, but that was only compared to the stone walls of the cave.
In fact, it’s not really thin.
Plus it's installed tightly, there's basically no air leakage.
After another three days, the four walls, wooden doors, and roof were all built.
In addition to using bamboo as tiles, Meng Changjin also covered the roof with thatch, which is mainly used to maintain the indoor temperature.
It also plays a small role in sound insulation when it rains.
After the wooden house was built, it looked good overall.
Not as rough as imagined.
Coincidentally, when Meng Changjin's wooden house was completed, the salt exchange team just returned.
Once the salt exchange team came back, no one paid much attention to Meng Changjin's wooden house for the time being.
Instead, they are more concerned about how much salt the salt exchange team has exchanged.
If the amount of salt obtained in return is not much, it will not be enough for everyone to marinate the meat.
I'm afraid that everyone in the Yan tribe has never thought of this situation before.
One day, they were actually worried that there wasn't enough salt to marinate the meat.
But all this is so real.
Meng Changjin was naturally not left out either. She was preparing smoked bacon, and she absolutely could not afford to have insufficient salt.
Of course, she actually stored salt in her spiritual plant space, but she couldn't take it out and use it directly, because she simply didn't have that much salt. It was easy to take it out and use it, but after using it, the biggest problem was how to explain it.
Also, he didn't know the difference between the salt stored in her spiritual plant space and the salt from the primitive tribe. If the difference was too big, Meng Changjin would be even more afraid to use it.
At least I don't dare to use it openly, so I can only use it secretly.
Meng Changjin followed the others and walked towards the salt-exchanging team's horses.
The salt exchange team has already placed the exchanged salt on the ground.
Meng Changjin's spiritual sense was one step ahead of everyone else's and he had already checked how much salt there was.
Meng Changjin raised her eyebrows in surprise. She found that the salt here was quite fine and snow-white, and was actually similar to the salt she bought in the spiritual plant space.
However, thinking that this thing was produced by fire, Meng Changjin felt that it was not that surprising.
Fire is such a magical thing, so there's nothing wrong with making fine salt out of it?! Meng Changjin felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
This is convenient for her. As long as she exchanges some salt from the salt exchange team, she can use her own salt openly.
Anyway, even if others knew how much salt she had exchanged, they could still stare at her every day to see how much she had used?! The people in the salt exchange team exchanged salt with their own prey, so if everyone wanted to exchange salt from them, they also needed to exchange prey.
It will definitely be a little more than exchanging directly at the Crystal Tribe, but it’s really not much, and it’s definitely an amount that everyone can afford.
The salt exchange started quickly, and Meng Changjin also went to his cave to "take out" some animal meat for exchange.
When changing the salt, the person who changed the salt saw that it was Meng Changjin and specially gave her an extra handful.
Meng Changjin saw it and did not refuse. However, when he turned around and left, he silently sent a stream of spiritual energy into the man's body.
This man was injured while hunting before. Although he seems to have recovered now, the aftereffects are still there.
With this spiritual energy from Meng Changjin, this man's old injury will surely heal in a few days.
Sometimes, other people’s kindness does not require you to exchange it with material things. It is also okay to use other means.
Meng Changjin was helpless too, she would only respond to soft tactics and not hard ones.
After changing the salt, Meng Changjin began to prepare the smoked bacon.
First, marinate the animal meat with salt and put it in a stone jar to marinate.
This will take about five days.
Meng Changjin felt that these five days should not be wasted.
It just so happened that everyone's animal meat had been pickled and there was still a lot of salt left, so naturally they prepared to start hunting in the mountains again.
How could Meng Changjin be absent from hunting? ! This time, Meng Changjin went along, and no one said anything.
The first time Meng Changjin went to hunt in the mountains, the witch told him to protect himself and to listen to the leader in everything after entering the mountains.
But this time Meng Changjin was going to hunt in the mountains again, and the witch's instructions to Meng Changjin became - give the newcomers certain opportunities to train themselves, and don't eliminate all the hardships for them.
Opportunity is the soil for becoming stronger. If there is no opportunity, it is equivalent to having no soil for becoming stronger, which will be harmful rather than beneficial to the future of the Yan tribe.
Of course Meng Changjin nodded and agreed to everything.
It is natural for the Great Witch to worry.
Naturally, if newcomers go out with the hunting team, there is a chance that two of them will die.
But with Meng Changjin's hunting operations, there is absolutely no chance of death.
While hunting prey, Meng Changjin also protected everyone well.
But this good thing also has its pros and cons.
The good thing is that the number of deaths in the hunting team is well controlled.
But the disadvantages are also obvious, which is that it is easy for everyone to develop a habit of suddenly finding that many things are lost after leaving Meng Changjin.
Meng Changjin is not a person who knows nothing. She also knows that this is wrong, and she is also starting to get in the right place.
There is nothing wrong in saving lives, but it does require strategy.
She must have an idea in her mind about who needs to be saved and who doesn't.
At the same time, observation skills also need to be improved.
Whether a person really can't hold on any longer or can still hold on a little longer, this is all something Meng Changjin needs to judge.
In the previous two hunting operations, Meng Changjin performed too brilliantly, and most of the prey were shot down by her.
This time, Meng Changjin was not prepared to take action. Her goal this time was to ensure the safety of the newcomers while finding some edible wild vegetables to bring back.
Of course, this is also time-limited.
Meng Changjin needs to pickle the meat for five days, so he has to go back after those five days.
Meng Changjin will not pay too much attention to the people in the hunting team in the first three days.
Anyway, all we have to do is protect the newcomers and find edible wild vegetables. However, if more than three days pass and what everyone gets from hunting is still not enough, Meng Changjin will have to take action.
After all, her tribe was pickling meat. The meat for making bacon could be pickled for a longer time, but not too long.
This time, Meng Changjin did not intervene immediately at the beginning of the fight, and everyone in the hunting team was quite happy about it.
It’s not that they don’t want to take it easy. If they could complete the hunt easily, of course they would want to.
But the price they paid was that their hunting skills became worse and worse, which they could not accept.
Moreover, even if they knew that Meng Changjin was a gifted person, he might be born stronger than them.
But after all, Meng Changjin is still just a half-grown boy.
The hunting team members of the Yan tribe also have to save their dignity.
Therefore, Meng Changjin did not intervene at the beginning. Everyone in the hunting team was as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They also wanted to prove their strength.
Let the newcomers see what a real hunting team member should be like.
Seeing that they were full of energy, Meng Changjin naturally wouldn't go and pour cold water on them.
The newcomers learned very seriously and felt very proud to be a member of the hunting team.
In the Yan tribe, the dream of children when they grow up is to become a hunting team member.
Because they all knew that many people in the Yan tribe would not be alive today without the hunting team.
Is this fair to the hunting team? It seems a bit unfair, after all, the prey they hunted back had to be divided among so many people.
But decades ago, they were also waiting for the members of the hunting team decades ago to come back from hunting and share food with them.
Without the previous group of hunters, there would be no them today.
Therefore, in the Yan tribe, the hunting team members never feel unfair. Everyone has come this far, so they will continue to live this way.
After several decades, when they grew old and no longer had the strength to hunt, these newcomers became the backbone of the hunting team.
Giving and receiving is a cycle.
During this hunt, Meng Changjin followed closely behind the crowd.
The main responsibility is to protect the newcomers.
These are the future backbone of the Yan tribe. The less accidents can happen, the better. If nothing can happen, then that would be best.
Although Meng Changjin is also a newcomer in terms of age, but in terms of strength, there is nothing wrong with her protecting the newcomer.
During the few days of following the hunting team, Meng Changjin discovered the biggest difference between her and the other members of the hunting team.
The key difference lies in the process of finding prey.
When the hunting team hunts, they discover the whereabouts of the prey through clues, then judge the strength of the prey, and then make reasonable hunting actions based on the strength of the prey.
The time spent searching for prey is the most time spent.
How much time would it take if there were prey standing around waiting for them to kill?
The most important thing to consider is whether you can win or not.
But the reality is not like that. Starting from the slightest clue and then finding the prey is the norm in hunting.
As for Meng Changjin, when she hunts, she releases her spiritual sense and finds the prey from afar.
There is no need to judge any clues. Just determine the location of the prey, go over, and kill it directly, and you're done.
There is absolutely no technical content involved, it is completely based on strength to crush the opponent.
But not everyone has spiritual awareness, and not everyone is as powerful as Meng Changjin.
The future of the Yan tribe belongs to others, not Meng Changjin.
She can't do all the work herself.
In these two or three days, Meng Changjin felt that she had learned a lot.
It turns out that without any spiritual awareness, it is possible to determine the whereabouts of wild animals in this way.
Meng Changjin said he learned something!
During these two or three days, Meng Changjin did not intervene at all. The hunting team of the Yan tribe has existed for so many years and they still have sufficient experience.
With Meng Changjin not interfering at all, the harvest was still pretty good.
I believe that if we give them a little more time, the final results will not be bad.
However, Meng Changjin was in a hurry to go back to smoke the bacon, so on the fourth day, Meng Changjin began to intervene.
On the fifth day, almost everyone in the hunting team returned carrying prey that was twice as big as themselves.
After returning to the tribe, Meng Changjin took out the meat that had been pickled for five days and hung up the pickled meat pieces with leaves of a tough plant.
It was hung on a wooden pole specially built outside the wooden house.
Meng Changjin had previously hammered wooden nails into the wooden pole, which could now be used to hang the meat.
The marinated meat has to be hung in a cool and ventilated place for more than ten days to allow the moisture in the meat to dry out. Only after it is completely dry can it be smoked.
Of course, smoking couldn't happen inside the house, so Meng Changjin built another small wooden house next to it.
When the time comes, hang the air-dried cured meat in, then smoke it every day and wait for the results.
Meng Changjin saw this method of smoked bacon in a book.
It is said that the cured meat in each place is different. Meng Changjin didn't know where the one she smoked was from. Anyway, it was smoked in the Yan tribe, so Meng Changjin simply called it Yan-flavor cured meat.
The main thing is that it's related to Sichuan and Hunan flavors. It would be embarrassing if people didn't cook it that way at all.
Of course, those people couldn't possibly know how Meng Changjin could tell that she smoked the bacon herself, and they wouldn't bother her, but it didn't matter what it was. Anyway, it could be eaten and could be preserved for a longer time, and that was enough.
Meng Changjin hung all the pickled meat in the place she had prepared in advance, and for the next ten days, she just had to wait for the meat to dry.
Meng Changjin discovered that there were no birds in a certain area around the Yan tribe, so there was no need to worry about birds pecking at her flesh.
It was the first time for everyone in the tribe to see someone hanging meat outside, and they found it extremely novel.
Whenever Meng Changjin saw people watching, he would say a few words. Some people were quite interested when they heard Meng Changjin say that the meat could be kept for a long time.
Some people think it is safer to put it in a stone jar after pickling, and it can be stored for a long time.
Some people followed Meng Changjin's example and hung up some meat. Meng Changjin was generous in teaching them how to hang it and where to hang it correctly.
While waiting for the meat to dry, Meng Changjin went out with the hunting team twice more.
Because they were not in a hurry these two times, Meng Changjin just followed behind the hunting team and was responsible for protecting the newcomers. The others were digging wild vegetables, even with the roots.
The Yan tribe now has a piece of land, which is planted with wild vegetables.
With the nourishment of Meng Changjin's spiritual power, the wild vegetables completely ignored the problem of different growing environments and grew very well.
After two hunts, Meng Changjin's pickled meat was ready to be sent to the small house for smoking.
The most important thing about smoked bacon is the smoking. The longer the smoking time, the more fragrant it will be.
