Fox Jiaojiao briefly explained the charcoal burning process to the tribe leader.
"Jiaojiao, do you mean that after the wood is burned, it can burn longer?" The tribe leader looked incredulous.
"Yes, tribe leader, but it needs to be burned in a special way." Fox Jiaojiao nodded and continued, "This method is..."
Before Fox Jiaojiao finished speaking, the tribe leader interrupted her with a look of understanding.
"I know, it must be that the beast god has come to you in your dream again. You are really the lucky star of our tribe. With you here, the beast god can often look after our tribe."
The tribe leader patted Fox Jiaojiao on the shoulder, looking relieved.
Fox Jiaojiao: "..."
Talking to the tribe leader is really getting easier and easier.
She didn't even need to explain, the tribe leader had already thought of a reason for her.
"Jiaojiao, I'll leave the charcoal burning to you. Just tell me what you need to prepare. When you are free, we can start." The chief was eager to try.
Wood burns too fast. If they can have charcoal in winter, they won't have to worry about having nothing to keep warm.
Although males are strong and healthy, they will still feel cold even if they don't keep warm.
Who doesn't want to warm themselves by the fire in winter, drink a bowl of steaming meat soup, and feel warm all over? It's so comfortable.
"To make charcoal, you need to build a clay kiln and prepare a lot of wood. You don't need to dry it in the sun, wet wood will do. You need some big and small pieces." Fox Jiaojiao thought for a moment and said seriously.
When she was in the countryside, her grandfather's family had made charcoal before, so she knew a little bit about it. She knew these steps by heart, but she had never tried them herself.
"Okay, I'll ask someone to prepare it." The clan leader agreed immediately, very happy.
"Chief, I can't guarantee that I can succeed in one try..."
Fox Jiaojiao wanted to take precautions in advance, but before she could finish her words, the chief interrupted her with a smile:
"It's okay, it's okay, even if you fail, it doesn't matter, the method sent by the beast god is not that easy, you can convey the method to us, it's already very good, as for whether it can succeed, it depends on God's will."
The chief didn't care at all, and was full of joy.
Fox Jiaojiao smiled, this chief really didn't need her to worry about anything, so she could teach everyone the method of burning charcoal with peace of mind.
Anyway, everything is the beast god's responsibility.
...
That night, Fox Jiaojiao was particularly sleepy and fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed.
She opened her eyes in a daze and found that she was no longer in the wooden house, but lying in a huge lake.
The water on the lake had frozen into thick ice. The thick, white ice layer passed through her palms, bringing a chill that made Foxy shiver.
"Where is this? Why am I here?"
Foxy looked nervous and looked around, talking to herself. She saw a layer of white mist covering the entire lake, as if the entire lake was covered with a white veil, hazy and mysterious.
It was quiet and silent, without any living creatures, as if she was the only one left in the world.
"Ka... Ka..."
Just as Foxy was confused, a small sound suddenly came from the white mist, as if something was broken.
"What's that sound!"
Foxy walked towards the direction of the sound with a vigilant look on her face, but she didn't expect that as she walked, the white mist around her also moved. After
walking for an unknown period of time, Foxy came to the edge of the lake.
The mist around her dissipated, revealing the full view of the shore. Countless snow-white frost flowers were blooming, blooming gorgeously and beautifully, as if she had come to a fairyland.
Foxy noticed that some petals broke and fell on the frozen lake.
Then there was a "click" sound of collision.
It turned out that the sound just now came from this flower... Wait! Aren't flowers soft? Why does it make a sound when they fall on the ice?
Hu Jiaojiao took a closer look and saw that these frost flowers had no leaves or roots. She bent down to pick up the petals that had fallen on the ice, and felt a cold touch in her hands. Sure enough, they were hard.
Suddenly, a guess came into my mind.
She twisted the petals with her fingers, put them in her mouth and tasted them.
"Salty!"
Hu Jiaojiao clenched the "petals" in her hand in surprise. This is not a frost flower! It’s just salt flowers!
She had seen on TV before that some salt lakes can condense into flower-like crystals due to their special landforms. People call these crystals salt flowers, and they are the best substitute for salt.
This huge salt lake has condensed so many salt flowers. If we can bring them back to the tribe, the tribe will not have to worry about having no salt to eat in the future!
But...
where is she now?
After being happy, Hu Jiaojiao looked around with a confused face.
The fog around her completely dissipated, and the clouds in the distance rolled. A red glow appeared in the sky, and soon, a golden sun slowly rose from the red glow.
"That's, in the east..."
Hu Jiaojiao murmured, and suddenly heard a sad dragon roar and fox cry from afar, which seemed to be mixed with the roars of many animals.
She was about to go forward to see what happened, and everything in front of her was suddenly broken like a mirror. She stepped on empty air and fell into darkness.
"Mom! What's wrong with you?"
A warm and soft voice filled with worry rang in her ears. Hu Jiaojiao opened her heavy eyelids and saw Long Ling'er lying nervously beside her.
There were also a few little carrots beside her, also staring at her nervously.
"What's wrong?" Hu Jiaojiao felt her head was a little heavy, and she sat up quickly.
"Mom, you slept for a long time, and we thought you wouldn't wake up." Long Ling'er's almond eyes were wet, and she seemed to be trying hard not to cry.
In the past, mother got up earlier than them. Today, they got up for a long time. When they came to mother's room, they found that she was still asleep. No matter
how they called, she couldn't wake up, which scared the children.
"Mom is fine. She's just too sleepy and slept very deeply. Don't be afraid, be good." Foxy coaxed her softly while looking outside the house.
It was already past noon, no wonder the kids were worried.
"Where's your dad?" she asked.
"Daddy went out hunting before dawn, saying he had to hunt early and then go carry the materials for building the house." Long Ling'er answered honestly.
"You're not sick, are you?" Long Zhong frowned and looked at Hu Jiaojiao suspiciously.
Hu Jiaojiao smiled and tapped his forehead with her slender white fingers, "Mom is in good health, not sick, don't worry."
Long Zhong snorted coldly, wiped his eyebrows with disgust, and said in a cold tone:
"I'm not worried about you, I'm afraid you'll die of illness and I'll have to collect your body."
Hu Jiaojiao smiled but said nothing.
The real dream just now came to mind unconsciously. I gently pinched Long Ling'er's chubby little face and said to myself with a smile:
"Not only is my mother fine, but there is also good news..."
