Huanyan was putting the white crystals in her pocket while looking around.

"Dad, what are those trees?"

"Those are salt fruit trees, but they are poisonous!"

"Dad, can we pick some and take them back? I want to try!" Huanyan looked at Dayi expectantly.

"Okay!" Dayi reached out to touch his daughter's head, but when he looked at the white frost on his hands, he gave up.

The father and daughter filled a basket of white crystals, picked a basket of salted fruits, and walked towards the tribe.

Along the way, Huanyan also saw a lot of plants, but they couldn't take more. "Dad, can we come here again tomorrow? I want to see if there is anything else to eat!"

"Okay, Dad will stay in the tribe for a few days and accompany Yanyan during these days!"

The father and daughter walked and talked, and occasionally when they saw a fruit tree, Dayi would put Huanyan down and then pick fruits for Huanyan to eat.

Huanyan watched her father go up safely and come down safely, and silently understood that these trees bully the weak and fear the strong. Her father is level six, and this tree is only level two.

Huanyan decided to sleep less at night in the future because she wanted to become stronger.

"Dad, let's pick some of those leaves and take them back!" Huanyan saw a tall tree with big leaves and small hard lumps growing on them. No one knew what they were.

"That's a hard nut tree, but the fruit is not delicious. It has no taste and is dry. It makes you feel uncomfortable if you eat too much!" Dayi patiently introduced it to Huanyan.

"Father, let's pick a few and take them back so I can study them!"

"Okay!" Dayi would not refuse Huanyan's request. He was a complete daughter slave. Huanyan missed her father a little. Her father, Mr. Su, had spoiled her since she was a child and would give her anything she wanted.

After picking the nuts and leaves from the nut trees, the father and daughter did not stop on the way and soon returned to the tribe.

Huanyan studied the hard fruit along the way and found that it was as hard as its name suggested. Huanyan picked up a little and tasted it. It was astringent and had a fermented taste, a bit like flour.

After returning to the tribe, Huanyan ordered Yao to get her a stone basin of water. Then Huanyan put the nuts in it and then took the leaves of the nut tree and slowly roasted them over the fire.

"Sister, why are you grilling this?" Yao asked curiously.

"Brother, go boil some hot water. I'll need it later!"

"it is good!"

"Does our Yanyan have any tasks to entrust to your father and your mother?" Dayi asked with a smile as he looked at his daughter's little adult-like appearance.

"Dad, I have an idea, so I need you to help me dig my hole bigger. I want to do some research. If the research is successful, we may not have to suffer from the cold during the snow season!" Huanyan suddenly thought of the kang in the north. Although she had never seen a kang, she might be able to make one with some research.

"Okay, you tell me how to dig it, Dad will listen to you!" Hearing Huanyan's words, Dayi's voice trembled with excitement. Many people are frozen to death every snow season, but in order not to put too much pressure on their daughter, Yi and Caohua did not ask anything, but supported Huanyan with practical actions.

“In this way, dig open these two sides, and then the thickness of the outside will be about as thick as that of my father!” Huanyan thought about the cave she saw in the book and planned to dig it this way.

"Okay!" Dayi and Caohua started working enthusiastically.

Huanhuan roasted the veins of the entire leaf clearly, and then carefully scraped off the flesh on it. Fortunately, the leaf was strong, otherwise it would have been easy to break without any tools.

"Sister, the water is boiling!" Yao ran over and said.

"Brother, carry a few salt fruits and these salt grains and follow me."

Huanyan first put the salt grains from the open air into the boiling water, then took a clean stick and stirred it slowly for a while, "Brother, stir it slowly the way I just did!"

Handing the stick to Yao, Huanyan opened the salt fruit. There was a sticky liquid inside. Huanyan tasted a little bit and then quickly spit it out.

After observing for a while, Huanyan discovered that the viscous liquid had a high salt content, but the peel contained a large amount of trace elements. No wonder some people died.

Huanyan found a stone bowl and poured the liquid from the salt fruit into the bowl. As for the skin, Huanyan did not throw it away. She planned to use the skin to make some poison or something.

After taking a look at the liquid in the pot, Huanyan asked Yao to turn off the fire and waited quietly for the liquid in the pot to cool down. Then Huanyan placed the leaves with the flesh peeled off on top of another stone basin, and then carefully poured it out to filter out the impurities.

After the first pass, Huanyan found that the leaves could still be used, so she washed the filtered impurities clean, boiled the liquid in the pot again and stirred it, Huanyan added a few pieces of burnt wood, and then filtered it again. After filtering it four or five times, there were finally not too many impurities left.

Slowly the water in the stone pot evaporated, white particles appeared, and snow-white salt grains appeared in the pot.

"Sister, is this a success?" Yao asked excitedly.

Huanyan tasted it and found it was not bitter. "Brother, go call dad and let him try it!"

Dayi carefully picked up a grain of salt and tasted it. "This salt is edible, and it's better than what we got at the market!"

"That's no problem!" Huanyan was very happy. She was indeed a genius.

"Our Yanyan is so awesome!" Dayi excitedly picked up Huanyan and threw her into the sky, then came down to catch her. Huanyan was not afraid but very happy instead.

For a moment, the open space was filled with happy laughter like silver bells.

"Tomorrow, I will lead my people to pick more salt fruits and this kind of white frost!" Dayi said excitedly, "Yanyan, can you teach this method to others?"

"Sure, Dad!" Huanyan was happy, very happy. After all, she was famous for being lazy. In the past, as long as the sky did not fall, she would sleep until noon and had everything she wanted.

Why should she do things herself when she can ask others to do them? It is already difficult for her, a salted fish, to be forced to survive.

"Oh, Dad, I want to go with you tomorrow too!"

"Dad has already promised you this!"

"I'm just afraid that you'll get too excited and forget about me, Dad!" Huanyan said seriously.

There are at most eighty people in the tribe, and a hundred was actually an overestimation by Huanyan.

"Amu, let's deal with the meat!"

"Don't worry, your brother and I have already packed the meat when you and your father go out!"

"Am, take it out and let's try to preserve it with salt. I always think it will be better preserved this way!"

"Listen to Yanyan!"

"Okay!" The couple took out the meat that Huanyan had cut into pieces and put into the hole.

Huanyan asked Am to help cut the meat into strips, and then heated the oil in a pan, but she forgot and there was no oil.

Huanyan put the meat into the pot, and slowly, a meaty aroma wafted out. Then Huanyan instructed her father to make a wooden spoon on the spot and pour the boiled animal fat into a newly made stone basin on the side.

"Huanyan, what are you doing?" It turned out that the tribesmen were attracted by the smell of meat.

"I'm trying to find a way to preserve the meat longer!"

"My Yanyan has just made the salt. Tomorrow, everyone, follow me out to pick salt fruits!"

"Dayi, are you telling the truth?" a soldier stood up and asked excitedly.
