Chapter 8 Getting Salt

"Bring both the backpacks and two baskets."

After the meal, Chang Xia neatly took out the baskets and baskets from the animal den, put them aside, and waited for them to be folded together and tied to Shen Rong.

The salt lake is located near the sacred mountain of Qana, not close to the tribe.

However, the beasts who transform into beasts travel quickly.

It took half an hour to reach the Holy Mountain of Cana, leaving time for collecting salt. The morning was enough for them to collect salt and pick ginkgo fruits.

In front of the door, Shen Rong turned into a beast in response.

I saw a giant wolf three meters tall, with a silver-white body and a tuft of golden hair growing between its eyebrows, echoing the golden wolf eyes.

Look, he's very handsome.

"It's so beautiful!" Changxia exclaimed.

She had seen the beast bodies of Nan Feng and her tribe members, and she was looking at Shen Rong's beast body absentmindedly, her eyes full of amazement. Chang Xia concluded that even the beast body of the tribe leader was not as tall and handsome as Shen Rong.

Shen Rong's gilded golden eyes flashed with joy.

Obviously, he was very satisfied with Chang Xia's praise.

This is an ordinary beast's body form. Once entering a battle and activating the totem of the fighting wolf clan, the silver-white beast's body will be dyed with golden stripes.

However, unless there is a life and death battle.

Orcs rarely activate the bloodline totem to fight.

Shen Rong bent his knees so that Chang Xia could tie up his backpack and basket.

Then, use the wolf's tail to roll up Chang Xia, and place the person on the animal's body to fix it.

"Shen Rong, let's go, let's go to the Holy Mountain of Cana to get salt." Chang Xia said loudly.

The beast body of the beast tribe can only carry its own mate and beast cubs. Unless there are special circumstances, it will not easily carry others.

The tribe asked Chang Xia to get married, even if they couldn't go out hunting.

With a partner, Chang Xia can at least participate in picking and collecting in the wild.

This way you don't have to worry about starving to death.

In the early morning, light mist surrounds the mountains and rivers.

Shen Rong determined the direction and ran towards the Salt Lake of the Sacred Mountain of Cana. At the same time, Nanfeng of the Heluo Tribe found her father, Gen, the leader of the Heluo Tribe.

He told Gen about the fish balls.

He also told Gen that Changxia wanted to build a kiln.

"The fish balls are really as delicious as you said?" Gen said solemnly.

He was not in a hurry to ask about things related to building the kiln. Nanfeng proposed to lend wood and stone to Changxia, but Gen had no objection. He exchanged resin with the tribe and did not refuse or nod.

Open your mouth and ask directly about the fish balls.

Nanfeng had an aftertaste on his face and couldn't help but lick the corner of his mouth and replied: "It's delicious. There's no fishy smell at all, it's very fresh and tender, and chewy. It's fresh and smooth in the mouth. In addition to fish, Changxia made it

The river prawns are also delicious, and by the way, the stewed meat is also exceptionally sweet and tender.”

If I hadn't been surprised by the taste of fish balls and river shrimps.

What Nanfeng misses most is definitely the pot of stew.

The simple stew exudes fatal attraction in Chang Xia's hands.

Nan Feng hurriedly restrained his emotions and stopped thinking about it. After all, his saliva was almost dry in his throat.

"Can you cook it?" Gen felt a little hungry and felt that the barbecue on his hands had no taste. Nanfeng used too many words to describe Chang Xia's fish balls, river shrimps and stew. Even if Gen didn't eat it, he seemed to smell the food.

fragrance.

"..." Nan Feng froze and said with a smile: "Father, you know my barbecue skills. Do you think I can make such complicated fish balls? But Eminem should be able to do it."

Nanfeng Ammuqin's barbecue is very famous in the tribe.

Even stewed meat is highly praised by the tribe, of course, this does not include Changxia.

"Go to the Baihe River to catch a few herrings that Chang Xia mentioned. I'll let your mother try to do it later. If it really works, I'll help Chang Xia exchange resin with the tribe." Gen glanced at Nan Feng and saw his cub.

He's fine everywhere, but he's stubborn.

How many years have you been in adulthood?

The delay in finding a male to mate with made Gencao heartbroken.

I scolded and said.

But Nanfeng didn't want to listen, so he had no choice but to drag it on like this. With Nanfeng as a comparison, I suddenly felt that everything in Changxia was good.

If you are weak, it doesn't matter.

Even if you find a sick partner, you are still married.

I don’t know what will happen in the future, but now I think life in Changxia is going well.

"Okay, don't worry, leave it to me to catch the fish." Nanfeng said very smoothly.

Rarely without any thought at all, Nanfeng picked up the backpack and walked out of his den and headed towards Baihe.

At this moment.

It's already getting bright.

There were curls of cigarette smoke floating in the sky above the tribe.

The flavors of various foods are mixed together to start a fresh day.

On the other side, Shen Rong took Chang Xia to the Salt Lake of the Holy Mountain of Cana. When he entered his eyes, he saw a vast expanse of white, and a strong salty smell hit his face.

There are no birds or flowers in the Salt Lake area.

Occasionally, there are a few large trees with crooked necks growing, but they also look yellow and half-dead.

"This is the Salt Lake!" Chang Xia looked at the Salt Lake in front of her in shock. It was no exaggeration to say it was a lake. She looked up and could not see the edge of the Salt Lake.

No wonder Nanfeng once said that the salt lake is a gift given by the beast god to the beast tribe.

This natural salt lake is enough for the orcs to eat for thousands of years.

"You haven't come to the Salt Lake to get salt?" Shen Rong was slightly startled and asked in surprise.

Changxia glared at Shen Rong and slid off his body, "I was very sick before. The clan leader and Nanfeng didn't even dare to let me go out of the tribe. Do you think I can come to the salt lake to get salt?"

Thinking about her, she was once the most powerful person in the world.

Who knew that once I woke up, I wouldn't even be able to take a few steps out of the animal's den door.

In the final analysis, it was all because her body was too weak. All the powerful abilities she had in her previous life were used to warm and nourish her body, which kept it wilted and half-dead.

However, he survived in the end.

After adulthood, this body has stabilized.

No matter how much you exercise, in time, hunting and fishing will be a breeze.

"My fault." Shen Rong apologized immediately and let Chang Xia rest while he went to get the salt. Crushed salt was inconvenient to carry, so he picked up large salt crystals and put them in the basket.

Wait until you return to the den, then crush and grind it.

The salt crystals in the salt lake are pure and do not need to be filtered or purified. After being crushed and ground, they can be eaten directly, which is very convenient for the orcs.

The Salt Lake is located within the scope of the Holy Mountain of Karna, and is often patrolled by the Beast Tribe.

Occasionally, the Bird Tribe will come to exchange with the Beast Tribe, and the Fish Tribe is not short of salt. However, the Bird Tribe is arrogant, and the Fish Tribe is not bad either. Every time the two tribes deal with each other, it is a melee.

Over time.

The contact between the two races is getting less and less.

On the contrary, the relationship between the beast tribe and the two tribes is relatively harmonious.

The baskets and baskets are half a person's height, and the two baskets are roughly estimated to weigh more than three hundred kilograms. There is no loss of salt, and several hundred kilograms of salt are enough for the daily needs of Chang Xia and the two of them.

Ordinary tribesmen don't take too much salt when they take it.

If the salt is taken back to the tribe, it will easily get damp. On the contrary, there is no need to worry about getting damp here in the salt lake.

After taking these hundreds of kilograms of salt back to the den for a long time, we have to find a way to seal it. Once it gets wet, the bottom will turn into salt water, which is troublesome.

"Chang Xia, aren't two baskets of salt a bit much?" Shen Rong paused and asked.

Even though he didn't have much common sense about life, he still knew that hundreds of kilograms of salt was a lot. He used to carry an animal skin bag with him when he went out, which could hold half a kilogram.

An animal skin bag can be used for ten days and a half.

Changxia piled up the salt crystals in the basket and replied: "Don't worry. Get more this time, so we don't have to come here to get salt in the future. Besides, I plan to pickle vegetables and meat, which all requires salt."

"Salt will go bad if it gets wet." Shen Rong reminded.

"I'll find a way to seal it in a clay pot or something." Chang Xia frowned, thinking about how to preserve the salt.

The salt lake is not far from the tribe, but it is not close either.

She didn't want the tribesmen to come here every now and then to get salt, which would be too laborious.

After taking the salt, the two prepared to return to the tribe.

However, before returning to the tribe.

In the long summer, we have to pick ginkgo fruits, and there is a ginkgo forest in the Holy Mountain of Karna. However, the Holy Mountain of Karna is the territory of witches. Unless the witch speaks, no beast will pick any grass or thing here.

Salt is a special case.

"Let's go to Xiangfeng Mountain." Chang Xia waited for Shen Rong to secure the basket, slowly climbed onto Shen Rong's body, and said.

Xiangfeng Mountain is not far from the Holy Mountain of Karna.

It is also the territory of the Heluo tribe. The ginkgo trees growing there are as dense and lush as the Cana Sacred Mountain, and they are more convenient for the road.
