Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

Everyone was exhausted. Two baskets of the first roasted jerky had already been collected, and three wooden basins were still full of pickled wolf meat. The wolf meat was basically all marinated and just had to wait for the time to be slowly roasted into jerky.

As for the pork, the quantity was indeed too large, and it was not realistic to roast it all into jerky, so Liu Caixia took out a bag of salt and prepared to marinate it all to make bacon.

Since there were not enough basins and buckets to hold the meat, the meat could only be cut into pieces, and a layer of salt was simply smeared on the outside of the meat, and then hung up directly with straw ropes.

At this point, half of the cave was filled with strips of bacon hanging, and four or five fires were used to roast, dry-smoked and cured meat. The scene was quite spectacular.

As night fell, the cave was illuminated by the firelight and became warm. Puffs of smoke mixed with the aroma of wolf jerky and bacon rose up, forming a sharp contrast with the biting cold wind outside.

Everyone sat around the fire, their tired faces filled with satisfaction and hope.

They either took a nap or chatted quietly, sharing their stories and dreams with each other, and found rare peace in this makeshift haven.

While carefully checking each piece of bacon to ensure that the salt content was even, Liu Caixia said to her partner: "Although the process was hard, seeing these results makes me feel more at ease.

These dried meats and bacon can not only solve our food problem in the future, but also serve as our supplies for the journey ahead.”

After cleaning up, everyone was exhausted. They looked at the scene in front of them, looked at each other, and finally laughed.

Luo Hong: "When have I ever seen such a scene?"

Qi Xin nodded and said, "Yes, the New Year celebrations in the countryside were never this spectacular before!"

Liu Caixia also sighed, saying that she had obtained a lot of meat from the people in Hujia Village before.

But why wasn’t the scene as spectacular as it is now!

Or maybe they have fewer people and more flesh, so they are all piled up in one place.

That’s great! These are their food rations. As the saying goes, if you have enough food at home, you don’t have to worry.

Who would complain about having too many things?

"Uncle Luo, you all have worked hard, let's rest early!"

Luo Hong looked at the children who were sleeping soundly, then looked at the two girls, Liu Xiaolu and Fang Chenxi, and said, "You two, if you are sleepy, go to sleep. You have been busy with us until so late. Go to sleep quickly."

The group separated and went back to their respective places to rest. The three men slept outside with Luo Hong.

The men took turns to keep watch.

Luo Hong and the three men took turns to keep watch at night. They could continue to roast the jerky at night. They only needed to add firewood to keep the fire going and turn the jerky over after a while to ensure that the whole piece of jerky was roasted dry.

After one batch of jerky is cooked, replace it with another batch that has been marinated.

As the night deepened, the flames of the fire gradually dimmed, but the atmosphere in the cave became more warm and harmonious.

After everyone else fell asleep, Luo Hong and the three men worked in groups of two to keep watch.

When Luo Hong and Liu Hao were on guard together, Luo Hong talked a lot with Liu Hao and got a general understanding of their situation.

Finally, Luo Hong and Liu Hao reached a preliminary agreement. It was basically certain that the three would join their team later, but there were still some people in the team who were not here. They would just need to tell them after Liu's father and others came back. Luo Hong believed that Liu's father would not refuse the three to join.

Liu Hao is basically the one who makes the decisions among the three. Since he expressed his desire to join the team, it must be the idea of ​​the three of them.

In fact, after the three of them arrived at the cave and got along with the others, they seemed like members of this big family. It seemed as if there was no need to adjust to each other at all. They got along with everyone so naturally and harmoniously, as if they were long-lost relatives.

During this period, after Luo Hong knew that Qu Dingliang had a space, when the two of them were changing shifts, he asked Qu Dingliang to pack the roasted dried meat in a bag and secretly hid some of it in his space.

No outsiders can see it at night, so you can hide more of it. Anyway, the meat will shrink a lot after being roasted and dried, so it won't take up space if you put it in the space, and it can be preserved longer.

It rains every day now and the weather is very humid. I am afraid that the dried meat will get damp and spoil soon, which would be a pity. So I store some reserve food and take some out when I need to eat it later.

Even if others have doubts, they will just think that the previously roasted meat jerky has not been eaten up, and will not delve into it too deeply!

They roasted a lot of dried meat in one night, put the roasted dried meat into two straw baskets and hung them on bamboo poles.

The three dustpans are left empty to continue to be used to hold the roasted dried meat. The freshly roasted dried meat is very hot and needs to be cooled before it can be stored.

Anyway, use every tool at your disposal!

It was not until dawn that Liu's mother and Liu Caixia got up. They had indeed slept too late the night before. Anyway, they had no plans for the next day, so they just slept until they woke up naturally.

After Liu Caixia woke up, she asked the remaining two people who were on guard to go and rest. They must not have rested for long last night. Luo Hong and Liu Hao also woke up after Liu Caixia and the others woke up.

Seeing them wake up, Liu Caixia said quickly, "You two can continue to sleep for a while. I'll let them sleep for a while too. There's not much to do now. We can just get up and do it slowly! You've been exhausted these past two days. Take a good rest!"

The four of them didn't say anything polite and continued to fall asleep wrapped in their own tattered quilts!

Liu Caixia added firewood to the four fires. As they had been roasting jerky all night yesterday, the firewood in the cave was consumed quickly, so she began to arrange today's work.

"Caiyun, if you have nothing to do today, go out and chop some more firewood. We consume a lot of firewood at home, and the firewood needs to be dried before it can be burned."

Liu Caiyun: "It's okay, I'll just get some more. Don't worry!"

Liu's mother and Qi Xin were looking at the dried meat. Now the three winnowing baskets were filled with roasted dried meat. Some of the cooled dried meat needed to be packed in bags and stored.

Two maids were making breakfast over there, and everyone was busy with their own things in an orderly manner.

After a while, the two older children woke up. After they had a simple wash, breakfast in the pot was ready.

Liu's mother and Qi Xin went to wake up the three younger children, tidied them up, and asked everyone to get up and have breakfast.

Everyone ate the wild vegetable porridge with dried meat with gusto. The children were so happy that they ate the porridge and the dried meat at the same time.

The men on night duty were sent to rest, and food was left in the pot for them to eat when they woke up.

After breakfast, Liu Xiaolu and Fang Chenxi took the rest of the children to continue watching the fire and the dried meat, turning the meat over frequently to prevent it from getting burnt.

Liu Caixia saw that there was not much left to do. She looked at the wild boar meat hanging in half of the cave and said with a bit of worry, "Mom, there is so much wild boar meat. Do you think it will taste good after smoking it like this?"

Liu's mother suddenly had an idea and patted her head: "Look at me, I didn't even think of this. We can go to the forest and cut some special branches to smoke! What about pine and cypress trees, apple trees, citrus trees, and walnut trees?

I see a lot of pine and cypress trees in this forest. Let's go cut some more and smoke them all. The bacon smoked with pine and cypress trees is the most fragrant!"

After listening to what her mother said, Liu Caixia also thought that this was a good idea. After all, the bacon they ate was bought, although she didn't know how it was made.

But Liu's father and mother knew about it, and they also had bacon for sale among their agricultural products.
