I'm bad and I'm hitting a wall, primitive life requires hard work

Shen Qi decided to let Arthur go as well, so that the team would have five people.

The reason for this arrangement is not only because Nishi Ichisu will also go together, but there is another very important reason - Zeyi was attacked around the tribe.

Or is he from the Buxu tribe...

Thinking of this, Shen Qi couldn't help but frown.

Nia is a smart and intelligent young man who always has unexpected ideas in his mind;

Yan Luoze is almost thirty years old. He is not only calm but also has rich experience in forest survival.

Arthur was a strong warrior.

The combination of these three people can undoubtedly ensure the safety of Wu Yu and Xi Yiqi on the road.

With them, Shen Qi felt a little more relieved.

"Thank you, Patriarch."

After listening to the chief's considerations, Nishi Ichiki also followed the way of the tribesmen, put his fist on his chest, and solemnly expressed his gratitude to the chief.

After all, if it weren't for her suggestion, the tribe would not have to rush to the Wasa tribe so hastily, and Arthur would have continued to stay in the tribe to hunt more food for everyone.

*

Because of this hurried trip, Xi Yiqi was extremely busy for the next three days.

(Old General Secretary, please send a copy of my schedule to everyone present~)

Morning: Learn about herbal medicine through witch language.

Noon: Help to dry radishes and wild vegetables.

Fortunately, Ruth and Lu Yu are both very reliable and do a good job.

Looking at the radish strips that were cut into strips and dried in the sun, Nishi Ichiqi felt a lot more relieved.

Afternoon: She helps make animal-skin shoes and backpacks.

Evening: She has a more important task - preparing food to carry on the journey.

In the primeval forest, every trip may encounter various unexpected situations, so you must ensure that you have enough food reserves.

For this reason, the hunting team has deliberately increased their hunting efforts in recent days, and often does not return to the camp until nightfall.

They were willing to risk darkness just to bring them enough food.

Although Nishi Ichiki didn't say anything, he secretly made up his mind to make their lives better and better.

They are worth it!

The Wasa tribe and the Yanyuan tribe are far apart, and the roads in the forest are rugged and difficult to travel. Once the sun sets, they can no longer move forward because the forest at night is full of unknown dangers.

In the past, Nia and his companions had to travel non-stop to arrive within three days and return after six days.

It is obviously not a wise idea for them to stay in unfamiliar forest areas for a long time or hunt.

Therefore, they would prepare enough food in advance, rush all the way, and never stop for too long.

These are what Nishi Ichisu learned from Niya tonight.

She also specifically asked Nia: "Where do we usually rest at night?"

Don't tell her that she slept on the roadside in the forest!

Perhaps a lone beast would be afraid of the light of the campfire, but a herd driven by hunger would not retreat so easily.

They know how to fight in coordination, and only the most primitive desire remains in their eyes - to hunt down the prey in front of them and eat them.

Nia smiled and replied, "Don't worry about that. After these few transactions, we have found some caves along the way where we can temporarily stay overnight. There are also some animal skins and firewood in the caves, so we only need to bring weapons and some food."

After hearing this, she felt a little relieved.

"So what kind of food do we usually bring?"

"Just bring some fruits and dried meat."

"Won't the jerky go bad?" Nishi Ichiki had also seen the jerky made by his tribesmen.

People here cut the red meat into strips and then hang them on tree branches to dry naturally.

Although this method is primitive, it is very practical.

However, they did not seem to understand how to use salt to cure meat.

In fact, salting meat may seem simple, but there are actually many details that need to be paid attention to. This is one of the reasons why Nishi Ichiki did not rush to try making salted meat.

After all, in this tribe, meat resources are very limited, and there is often not enough food even for the warriors who go out hunting.

If the pickling fails, it means wasting precious food!

As for the other reason, Nishi Ichisu counted the days and found that she had been here for less than a month.

At the beginning, she couldn't speak the local language yet. She finally started trying to improve her living conditions, but then she encountered continuous rainfall.

What you do is naturally not as fast as what you think.

Although this naturally dried meat is easy to make, it has a serious drawback - it is easy to spoil and it takes a very long time to dry in the sun.

Therefore, Nishi Ichisu did not intend to make this kind of jerky.

She first took advantage of the daylight to dry some of the wild vegetables that she and Wu had picked in the morning.

Although these dried wild vegetables cannot be preserved for long, they are more than enough to sustain the three days on the journey to the Wasa tribe.

At night, Nishi Ichisu began to prepare to make jerky that could be preserved for a longer time - smoked jerky.

She picked up a piece of fresh red meat, placed it on the stone slab, held the black knife firmly in her right hand, and gently cut along the texture of the meat, and the piece of meat was instantly split into two halves.

Next, she cut each half into thin slices, making sure each slice was of even thickness and size.

This knife is really useful!

Nishi Ichisu looked at the black knife in his hand that he had shamelessly borrowed from the clan leader, and couldn't help but think: I wonder when I will be able to make my own stone knife?

I hope to get good news after returning to the tribe.

She shook her head, stopped thinking about it, calmed down and continued doing what she was doing.

Food is the most important thing for people, eating healthily is a big deal~

After slicing the meat, she tied together several "lines" made from the ligaments of fine-horned beasts to form a long enough drying line, and then tied them high between two trees in front of the tribe.

Then, she asked Yan Luo to help her dig a hole about sixty centimeters deep between the two trees.

While Yanluo was digging the pit, Nishi Ichiki cleared away all the debris around it and put a circle of stones around the campfire to make a simple isolation zone.

After she had prepared everything, she built a bonfire in the pit, covering the fire with hardwood to keep it from burning completely and thus producing plenty of thick smoke.

As the bonfire burned, thick smoke rose and gradually spread...

Finally, Nishi Ichisu hung the slices of meat in the thick smoke and began the smoking process.

In the smoke, the shape of the meat slices gradually became blurred. She wiped her hands gently, looking at the meat slices intently, her heart filled with anticipation.

After slowly smoking like this for one to two days, you can get simple smoked meat jerky.

Compared with the naturally air-dried meat jerky made by primitive tribesmen, they not only taste better, but can also be stored longer, even for up to a month without spoiling.

I don’t want to get sick from eating rotten meat in primitive society!
