After the transaction was completed, Chen Bei and the others did not stay in the Mang tribe for a long time. They spent the night in an unfamiliar tribe, which was too risky.

Even if they just completed the transaction happily, it does not mean that both parties have become close friends.

"Moo!"

The Rhino King roared and left the Tree Tribe with other rhinos and people from the Mang Tribe.

"Chief Chen, welcome to trade again next time!"

The leader of the Tree Tribe waved his hand with a sincere smile on his face.

"Okay, I will definitely bring more goods here next time."

Chen Beiya waved at the leader of the Shu tribe, then turned around and left.

After the people from the Mang tribe left, the leader of the Shu tribe put down his arms.

Hongye finally couldn't help asking: "Chief, why do we have to exchange for so many things for smoked fish and smoked meat?"

"That thing is black and looks worse than jerky animal."

Hongye was very confused about this, and the others in the tribe didn't understand it either, but they didn't dare to refute what the leader decided, so they could only do it.

"What do you know? Will I do what I lose?"

The leader of the Tree Tribe whispered in Hongye's ear: "There is salt in those meat, a lot of salt."

"What?"

Hongye almost screamed, and the leader of the Tree Tribe slapped him on the head in anger, saying, "Small sound, do you want to yell so that the whole tribe knows?"

Hongye hurriedly covered his mouth, and after a long time, he whispered: "Where did this Mang tribe come out? I have never heard of it before. Could it be a large tribe from other places, right?"

The leader of the Shu tribe said: "No matter what kind of tribe they are, as long as they have no bad intentions about our Shu tribe, it is better to trade with them than to trade with the Diao Tribe."

Hongye nodded and said, "That's right, the Diao Tribe is too scammed, the things are expensive to sell."

The leader of the Tree Tribe said: "Put the meat and put it in a large pot and cook it every few days for all the fallen people, especially those children, who can't grow up without salt."

"Yes, leader, I'll do it now."

After the red leaves left, the leader of the tree tribe sat on a huge tree root, looking into the distance, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Let’s talk about Chenbei. The speed was significantly slower on the way back because it is autumn now, and most of the fruits of the plants are ripe. If you encounter some good things along the way, they will stop to pick them.

At this time, the role of white grass was reflected. She collected various plant fruits all year round and knew a lot of things, which could be eaten and could not be eaten. Basically, she could tell at a glance.

Between a few large rocks, the white grass found another plant, which was a plant similar to garlic. It had large leaves and thick leaves. Underneath were white garlic-shaped tuber, the size of a fist.

Chen Bei walked over and asked curiously: "What is this?"

Baicao raised his head and replied, "Chief, this is one of the herbs that the witch wants to find, called garlic, which usually grows in the cracks of the rocks and is said to be used to detoxify."

Chen Bei looked at it and said, "Can you eat it as food?"

There is no garlic in Chenbei's spices, so when you see this thing is similar to garlic, the first thing you care about is whether you can eat it.

"I don't know this... I won't know. Why don't you go back and ask the witch for advice."

Chen Bei nodded. Since it was the herb that Qingzhu was looking for, she must have known it very well. Just go back and ask.

In this way, Chen Bei and others walked around and collected a lot of herbs, fruits, and some edible vegetables with planting value.

Five days later, they finally returned to the tribe.

After returning to the tribe, he first properly placed the traded things. Then, Chenbei couldn't wait to ask Qingzhu whether the collected herbs could be eaten directly as spices.

"You can't eat it directly, it's toxic, it's used for external application."

Qingzhu ruthlessly broke Chenbei's dream of replenishing spices.

"Okay, I understand." Chen Bei was a little disappointed and planned to go back and cook and comfort himself.

"Chief, wait a moment."

Qingzhu hurried to the yard, used a small stone hoe to dig out a handful of grass-like plants, and took it to Chenbei.

"Chief, this herb is called leek, and it has a strong aroma and can be eaten while cooking."

"Chinese chives?"

Chen Bei was surprised to take this handful of grass-like plants, smelled it, and said, "That's right, it's really leeks! That's great. The colorful pheasant has started laying eggs recently. You can fry eggs."

Qingzhu smiled and said, "The leader can eat whatever he likes."

"Thank you, Wu, I'll send you a copy to try when it's done."

After Chen Bei finished speaking, he returned with a smile. He couldn't wait to taste the taste of fried eggs with leeks.

Although there is no suitable wok, this is a bit regrettable, but it is the same when eaten with oil.

Qingzhu looked at Chen Bei's back, smiled, and returned to the house to continue working on his own business.

The leader likes to eat and likes to try various foods. This is what the entire tribe knows. As a neighbor, Qingzhu has eaten a lot of food made by Chenbei, so she pays attention to things like leeks.

In the evening of that day, Chenbei indeed held a plate of fried eggs with leeks and shared them with green bamboo. The leeks and eggs had a unique aroma, and the eggs of the colorful pheasant were also tender after frying. Green bamboo was very satisfied with the taste of this dish.

In the middle of the second month of autumn, the soybeans in the vegetable field achieved a bumper harvest.

Soybeans were collected last fall and planted for one season this spring. They were harvested once after ripening, and then most of the soybeans were planted again. Now it is the second season of soybeans this year.

Chenbei is more concerned about soybeans because soybeans are rich in protein and soybean oil and are a good food.

Another one is about the purification of salt.

Previously, the salt of the Mang tribe was only filtered, and the impurities that were soluble in water could not be removed.

But after soybeans are found, it is different. After the soybeans are ground into soy milk, they are put into boiled salt water to absorb the impurities in the salt water, so that they can get salt with a mellow taste, which is also a real good salt.

So after the soybean harvest, Chenbei asked someone to dry the soybeans on the one hand, and on the other hand, he found a stone tool master and asked him to help build a small stone mill that can be used to grind soy milk.

The structure of the stone mill is not complicated. Chenbei was a rural child in his previous life, so this thing has been used a lot.

So he told the stone tool master in detail about the structure of the stone mill, and even used charcoal to draw the texture of the stone mill on the wooden board to ensure that the stone tool master could understand it.

The stone craftsman is worthy of being a stone craftsman. This simple stone craft is easy to understand and made very seriously.

After the soybeans were dried, the small stone mill needed by Chenbei was perfectly polished.

Chenbei used a wooden barrel to soak the soybeans in water, and then put them in a stone mill to grind.

After grinding, the soybeans turned into fine soy milk. Chenbei cleaned the stone pot and boiled the soy milk.

"call……"

Chen Bei scooped the cooked soy milk into a bowl, blew the heat on it, added a little salt, and took a small sip. The familiar taste almost made him cry.

"It would be great if there was sugar."

Chenbei misses the taste of soy milk and white sugar, but now the conditions are limited, so it would be nice to add salt.

After drinking soy milk, he dissolved a large jar of salt in a clean bucket, and then started cooking salt water in a pot of salt.

"Gulugulu..."

After the salt water was boiled, Chenbei added two spoons of soy milk to it.

As time goes by, the soy milk in the salt water begins to condense into a clump and absorb the impurities in the salt water.

Chenbei used a spoon to scoop away the tofu that had absorbed impurities. This thing cannot be eaten.

After repeating this two or three times, there were very few impurities in the salt water except for salt.

As the water in the pot became less and less, white salt crystals began to appear on the edge of the pot. Chen Bei shoveled up the crystals, pinched them a little and put them in his mouth.

"Sure enough, the bitter taste disappeared!"

In the past, the salt always had a little bitter taste because it was not pure enough. Now, after soy milk adsorption, the impurities have basically been removed, and the bitter taste has naturally disappeared.
Chapter completed!
