The cypress tree was not far from the stone hall.
Lin Tian took the machete and walked with Fatty for about ten minutes.
Speaking of cypress trees, Lin Tian was actually quite familiar with them. In the past, cypress trees were one of the most common tree species in the green belts on the campus or on the streets.
"Brother Tian, why did you have to chop down cypress trees to make smoked meat?”Fatty was a little curious. In his opinion, no matter what kind of tree it was, as long as it could produce smoke, it would be fine.
"The culture of smoked meat has a long history.”Lin Tian began to explain.
"There are a few reasons. First, although the cypress leaves tasted bitter, they were rich in oil and had a special fragrance that could prevent moths.”
" Second, the smoke from the cypress tree is rich in heat-clearing and detoxifying ingredients, and can also be used to kill bacteria and disinfect."
" Third, the cypress leaves are extremely dense. After lighting it, the smoke is strong and the smoking effect is good. Moreover, cypress trees could be used as medicine and had a certain medicinal value.”
"In general, the cured meat smoked with cypress trees is transparent and shiny. It has a bright color and tastes mellow and fragrant. It is naturally the first choice for making smoked meat.”
Fatty looked at Lin Tian in a daze. In the past, he also thought that Lin Tian was smarter and more capable than him, but Lin Tian wasn't as powerful as he was now, right?
"Brother Tian, why do I feel that you are becoming more and more knowledgeable and powerful?”Fatty asked curiously.
"Brother Tian is a mobile library and encyclopedia.”
"We also use Thuja to make smoked meat here.”
"We're more casual here. We'll hang it directly on the beam above the stove. It's possible to burn any kind of firewood.”
"It means that we don't have smoked meat here.”
"It's the same principle. It's caused by geographical differences. However, the cured meat and smoked meat were both very delicious.”
"I want to see Tian 'ge and the others eat smoked meat.”
After the explanation, Lin Tian began to do his business. With the machete in hand, it was actually very easy to cut down some cypress branches. Soon, they returned to the Stone Hall Shelter with a bunch of branches.
You need to make a smoked meat rack
The words appeared, but he did not gain any skills. After all, the creation of the smoked meat rack was extremely simple.
Lin Tian tied three wooden sticks that were as thick as three fingers together with a straw rope and stood on the ground separately. This way, he could make a stable tripod. He placed a thick wooden stick on the two tripods, and a simple smoked meat rack was ready.
To make smoked meat, one had to first marinate the meat with salt for a period of time. This way, the smoked meat would be stored longer and the taste of the meat would be better.
However, they had limited resources now and did not have salt. Moreover, Lin Tian felt that he would be able to finish this little bit of meat in three to five days. He did not plan to store it for too long, so he skipped this step.
The catfish was cut into thin slices, and the snake meat was also cut into small pieces. Although the steps were a little complicated, the thin meat was beneficial for the water to quickly dry up, which could speed up the process of making smoked meat.
It took the two of them more than half an hour to cut and tie the meat slices. After placing the ignited cypress branches under the smoked meat rack, the entire work of making smoked meat was basically completed.
After smoking for about six to seven hours, the smoked meat could be considered to be a preliminary success. However, if one wanted the smoked meat to last for a long time, it usually needed to be smoked for more than a month.
He looked at his satellite watch. There were only three hours left before the sky turned dark. The grass on the empty ground had already dried up, so the two of them began to carry the grass to the campsite.
Lin Tian placed a large area of ferns below, and then covered it with a layer of soft long-haired grass.
When he climbed up, it was no longer the painful feeling of the stone slab, but the soft and comfortable feeling.
He put more ferns and hairy grass on one end until it was a suitable pillow.
Not far from the new bed, the toad that he had brought back was waiting quietly. However, Lin Tian would occasionally see it suddenly open its mouth, and a tongue would quickly pop out and then quickly curl back. Every time it attacked, an annoying mosquito would disappear from this world.
She should be able to sleep well tonight.
Fatty also quickly made his bed. It was right next to Lin Tian's bed, so the area was naturally much larger.
After making the bed, Lin Tian took out a shovel. He was prepared to build a step on the slope from the stone hall to the forest. This way, it would be much more convenient to go up and down.
After finishing all this, more than an hour passed. The food and water were barely enough for two days. If there was no new source of food after two days, they would have to return to the wilderness for survival!
Today, a group of contestants had already been eliminated. He had the system, so he could only get by temporarily. Those who did not have the system and were not very lucky would probably not be able to last long.
Mu Yufei and Jing Qiuyun were only two girls. How long could they last?
He even took the initiative to invite them to form a team. He couldn't possibly delay looking for them for so long, right? Thus, he had to stabilize himself within a day or two before he left to receive Mu Yufei.
There was still more than an hour before dark. There was not enough time to go to the beach. Lin Tian decided to take a walk in the forest in front of the hall and look for new resources.
(The plot foreshadowing runs through the entire novel. Don't skip it, or you'll miss something interesting or important. Also, I'll have to roll around and ask for some flower evaluation votes.)
