Traveling through ancient times: Savages are hungry for food

A few days later.

The wild strawberries on the ground are ripe.

In layman's terms, it is a ladle.

Red and white are interlaced, and each one is the size of an eyeball.

Looking at the ground, you can see red and white gourd fruits everywhere, densely packed.

It rained heavily in the early morning, and Lei informed everyone to take a day off today.

The sun was shining brightly at noon.

Almost all members of the Sirius tribe were dispatched.

I went to pick gourds near the tribe.

I want to learn Sang Tian’s method to brew some gourd wine, make some gourd jam, and canned food.

The little ones were running around the most happily. Ping An, Xi Le, Zhuang Zhuang, Xiao Hei, and Xiao Xuan also joined in the fun.

Many ladles were stepped on and burst...

Xiao Zhu and Xiao Yu were circling happily in the sky.

Sang Tian and Duo were so tired from picking that they lay down.

Sleep, eat and pick at the same time.

It was not until the sun set that everyone went home.

Sang Tian watched the tribesmen making jam.

First, you need to select fresh and ripe gourds, pick out the bad fruits and impurities, put them in clean water, add appropriate amount of salt, and soak for about 15 minutes to remove any remaining impurities and dirt.

-After soaking, rinse with clean water 2-3 times and drain.

Put the processed gourd into the cooking pot, add sucrose, and stir gently to allow the sucrose to fully contact the gourd.

Cook slowly over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent it from burning. As the temperature rises, the ladle will gradually release its juices and the sugar will slowly melt.

Stir constantly during the cooking process to prevent the jam from sticking to the pot and affecting the taste and color.

If you don’t want the jam to be too sweet, it’s best to add lemon juice.

But Sang Tian has not discovered the existence of lemon so far.

However, there are other very sour fruits that have the same effect when squeezed in.

Continue to simmer over low heat. The sour juice not only increases the acidity and flavor of the jam, but also helps preserve it.

Keep stirring until the jam thickens to the desired texture.

To check if the jam is ready, drop a spoonful of jam onto a plate. If the jam does not flow quickly, it is ready.

The jars have been sterilized in boiling water and dried.

While the jam is still hot, pour it into the jars, filling them as full as possible, then immediately cover them with lids and leave them upside down for a while. This will allow the residual heat to sterilize the lids.

After the jam has cooled, store it in the cellar.

The production of gourd wine is much more troublesome.

It is better to select ripe, free of rot, disease and insect pests first. This will ensure the quality and taste of the fruit wine.

Place the ladle in clean water, add an appropriate amount of salt, and soak for 15-20 minutes to remove impurities, bacteria and any remaining soil on the surface.

Then rinse with clean water and place in a ventilated place to dry, making sure there is no moisture remaining on the surface.

Carefully place the dried ladle into the prepared wine jar.

Fill the scoop with a layer of sucrose.

Slowly pour the cold, clear spring water into the wine jar until the water completely submerges the ladle and sugar.

Then sprinkle it with the white frost from the grape skins collected by Santian, which is used as baking powder.

The wine vat is sealed and placed in a cave in a dry, ventilated and cool place, away from direct sunlight.

Open the container every few days and stir it properly to thoroughly mix the scoop, sucrose and baking powder.

Generally, it takes 3-6 months for the ladle wine to be brewed.

If the wine becomes rich in color and has obvious fruity and wine aromas, it means that it has been fermented and can be filtered.

Use gauze to filter the wine into another clean wine jar to remove the residue from the ladle.

The ladle wine is now ready to drink.

Just seal the filtered wine again and continue aging it for 1-2 months. The wine will taste mellower and have a richer fruit aroma.

……

Finish these.

Sang Tian was busy going to Wu again.

It’s always good to help more and learn more.

Although her ability is limited to identifying herbs and memorizing their effects.

But Sang Tian secretly memorized many of the witch medicine prescriptions that the witch doctor prescribed for the tribe. For example, for several illnesses, as long as there were no special conditions, the same prescription would be used, but the dosage of the witch medicine would vary depending on the person.

She is smart and has a good memory. She also has a golden finger that can detect plants and animals, so she is like a fish in water.

Focus on both collecting and studying medicine.

Life in the tribe is now getting better and better.

The Tianlang tribe was the only one within a ten-day radius, but the hunting grounds were so vast that the tribesmen wouldn't starve.

Instead, piles of prey were piled up in the square every day waiting for the tribesmen to deal with them.

Life has completely stabilized.

Sang Tian thought, it's time,

Iron smelting began.

The tribe now has more than a thousand people, and logically speaking, it is no longer afraid of any other tribe.

But, what if they joined forces?

Most of the tribes gathered by Tianlang are important members of the trade fair.

Such a large group is bound to affect the interest system of coastal tribes.

What's more, there is such a terrifying existence above them.

They won't let it go so easily.

Even if we don't consider the impact of these external factors on tribal safety.

No matter when and where, weapons play an important role.

What's more, this is only the first step.

First we have to find a way to smelt the iron.

This would make life much more convenient. Iron tools could be used in daily life, in farming, as well as in hunting and gathering.

Even if it is not for making weapons, it should be refined.

This is also part of Sang Tian's plan to improve the living standards of the tribe.

Iron can also be made into weapons.

For example, if it is made into arrowheads, its lethality is at least much stronger than that of bamboo arrows.

This is not the end of cold weapons.

After all, weapons made of fine steel are the ultimate that Sang Tian pursues.

However, it is too early to mention this now.

We haven't even refined the iron yet, and we're already thinking about making steel.

Daydreaming.

During this period, I don’t know how many detours I will have to take and how hard I will have to work to move forward.

But no matter what, what must be done must be done.
