Chapter 9 Making Smoked Fish

In the early morning, the earthen kiln was still firing pottery.

"Thank you for your hard work." Su Yu went over to express his condolences. Through the ventilation window, Su Yu saw the orange-red flames and the burned red pottery inside.

"We don't work hard, patriarch, we like this job very much." Several teenagers in their teens saw Su Yu and smiled immediately on their faces when they heard Su Yu's condolences.

He called Su Dachuan and brought a few people with his backpacks. Then Su Yu brought the fishing net to the tributary of the river flowing through this plain and went up along the tributary.

The water in the river is very deep, and Su Yu cannot control the fishing net in his hand, so he can only come to the tributary.

Su Yu used the branch to explore the depth of the river, which was about two meters deep.

"Dachuan, let's find a shallower place." Su Yu still felt that the water was a bit deep and it was difficult to get off the Internet.

Walking up the river, Su Yu saw a river beach, and the bottom of the riverbed was filled with hard rocks.

"Dachuan, here." Su Yu ran to the river bank and found a great place to get off the net.

This river channel is on a relatively flat beach. The river channel is very narrow and the river water is very low. Su Yu stood in the river channel before he could reach his knees. Many fish swam downstream from here.

"Come on, help me, pull the four corners of the net, and pull the two corners below to the bottom of the water." Although there are stones tied to the two corners below the fishing net, Su Yu still asked someone to fix the bottom for insurance.

"The fish is in, don't worry about the small fish, don't let the big fish slip away." Su Yu shouted.

"Many fish, patriarch, this fishing net is so useful!" Su Dachuan grabbed a fat fish that he wanted to slip away, waved his arm, and threw it to the shore. When the tribe members on the shore saw it, they immediately put the fish in their backpack.

"Take the net!"

With Su Yu's order, the four of them worked together to pull the net forward.

"Pull it to the shore." Su Yu was also excited to see the fish in the net.

Finally, the fish was pulled up, but ran a lot.

Of course, if there were a little more, Su Yu would still be worried that the fishing net would not be able to hold on.

"Congratulations on successfully fishing with fishing nets, unlocking the fishery, and obtaining a civilization value of 200 and an agricultural point of 10." The system's voice rang in my mind, but Su Yu didn't care about it for the time being, but looked at the fish caught.

A net of fish filled with five backpacks, and there were many kinds of fish. Su Yu only knew a few, but none of them knew the rest.

It was noon and it seemed that today was about to have a great harvest, Su Yu thought to himself.

Su Yu asked them to carry the fish back first and then call some people over.

The tribe's house construction is basically almost completed, so a lot of people have been vacant.

There are so many fish in the river, it would be wasted if you don’t catch them.

If you net more fish, you can smoke it into smoked fish and keep it as winter food even if you can’t finish it.

Before Su Yu and his friends waited for a long time, the tribesmen rushed over. Each of them carried a basket with more than twenty baskets on the ground. Su Yu was very busy.

After getting off two more networks, Su Yu and the others were exhausted and panting.

"Come on, you guys will learn how to fish, and you will take turns to come later."

Four strong tribe members took over the fishing work, while Su Yu was guiding the fishing side.

"Yes, that's it...and then pull it up."

A net of fish came up and was quickly loaded into a basket and transported back to the tribe. Seeing so much food, the tribesmen suddenly became motivated to work.

"You guys keep working here, I'll go back and deal with these fish."

There are a lot of fish transported back, so Su Yu must hurry up and deal with them, otherwise they will smell bad and rot in a few days.

Su Yu summoned the female tribe members who were weaving the backpack and asked them to stop the work of weaving the backpack.

"I need you guys to deal with these newly caught fish, or it will rot."

Su Yu picked up a sharp stone tablet and showed them how to deal with the fish. He first opened the fish to the stomach, then removed the internal organs, and then cleaned the fish's serum with water.

"You can do one step by one person, for example, she cuts the fish open, you remove the fish's internal organs, and the other one washes the fish's blood."

Su Yu taught them the concept of assembly line and divided them into three groups, each group responsible for different steps.

This efficiency is very fast, and the processed fish are loaded into a clean backpack.

"Come with me." Su Yu called a few more people and asked them to collect branches and leaves.

In this season, there are basically no green vegetation in the tribe. In order to ignite the branches and leaves, a lot of smoke will be emitted and burned not so quickly, Su Yu sprinkled some water on the leaves.

After setting up a bracket, Su Yu used a plant leaf similar to palm leaves to hang the fish through the gills of the fish on the bracket. He hung more than a dozen at once, and then lit the wet leaves below. Rolling smoke came out of the leaves, covering the fish meat.

Smoked fish mainly lets the fish dehydrated, so that it can be better stored and stored for longer.

The thick smoke floated into the air. If people from other tribes saw it, they would probably mistakenly think that the forest had caught fire.

As noon approached, Su Yu passed by the earth kiln. The earth kiln had already been turned off. Su Tu and the others were observing the internal situation of the earth kiln.

"Class leader, the fire inside is gone, but it's still very hot inside."

“It will be taken out when it is not hot at all.”

"Class leader, can it cool down by pouring water?" Su Tu said in confusion. In his opinion, if it is necessary to cool down, it will cool down once it is watered.

"If you pour water with water, the pottery will not be able to stand it and will directly crack and shrink... Oh, forget it, you don't understand this now. Just remember to wait until it cools down when making pottery. You can't use water to cool it down."

Su Yu also wanted to explain the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that they didn't understand it. We couldn't explain the principle of thermal expansion and contraction before explaining what air is, and then the periodic table of elements. Thinking about this, Su Yu was so angry that he immediately extinguished the idea of ​​explanation.

"Oh, OK, patriarch, I remember." Su Tu nodded. Anyway, just remember the patriarch's words.

The lunch was full of fish, and everyone had a grilled fish, and everyone had a lot of fun, except Su Yu.

Because he found that the fish had no taste of dryness, not even salt. After thinking about it carefully, Su Yu found that he hadn't eaten any delicious food in almost ten days.

Speaking of salt, this is an important necessity. Its function is not only seasoning, but also an essential nutrient for the human body.

"Su Xun, do you know what salt is?" Su Yu asked Su Xun who was happily gnawing on fish.

"Ah? Clan leader. Salt? There is no salt nearby. We all rely on drinking animal blood. If it weren't for salt, we might not have to go hunting." Su Yu stopped chewing on his mouth and said.

It’s time to find salt. Usually, the intake of salt depends on drinking animal blood, but the salt in the animal blood is not much, which can’t meet the needs of the tribesmen at all, let alone Su Yu doesn’t want to drink animal blood.
