Chapter 954: The Beast World Farming Upgrade Road 7
However, as those people make more and more jerky meat, some problems are also exposed.
For example, some orcs with more cubs at home, where the eaves can be hung with jerky meat, are already full of jerky meat, but they are still a little far from the jerky meat demand they want to spend the rainy season.
But they no longer have enough space for them to continue drying their meat.
If you want to dry meat, you must have a ventilated environment, and it must also be in a high temperature environment so that the dried meat can be quickly dehydrated before it deteriorates. After the dried meat is well dried, it cannot be placed directly on the ground.
Even though it is still dry season, there will be some moisture on the ground to a greater or lesser extent. If it is placed directly on the ground, the dried meat will become wet again due to the moisture. Therefore, the dry meat must be hung under the eaves that can be ventilated without moisture.
But no matter who it is, who doesn't want their food to be better, so the orcs can't find a place to continue to dry meat. At this time, they begin to need a container that does not take up space but can store enough jerky meat.
Because Jiujiu taught them how to store jerky, they felt that Jiujiu must have a way to store jerky.
Although Jiujiu taught all the orcs how to make dried meat, because the male orcs were responsible for hunting and obtaining food, the responsibility for dried meat fell on the female orcs. So Sha Qing went out to hunt, and the female orcs who had no place to continue drying meat came to Sha Qing's house to find Jiujiu.
Because Jiujiu gave them a way to store enough food during the rainy season, their attitude towards Jiujiu has changed 360 degrees. They used to just call Jiujiu's name, but now they are respectfully called Jiujiu's sacrifice.
"Sacrifice, our family has many children. Now the eaves are full of dried meat, but it still cannot store enough meat. Is there any better way for the sacrifice to store the dried meat?" The person who spoke was a magnetic female orc called Huangsha. She is a rat-type orc. Although she only has one estrus period every year, she gives birth to a baby like a mouse. She can give birth to more than a dozen at a time. The whole tribe belongs to her family. However, because there are too many cubs, all of them are the flesh of her and her husband. When the rainy season comes, no matter which one is abandoned, she will not be able to bear it. So many years have passed, and none of their cubs survived.
When she said this, she was filled with sorrow, which showed that she thought of the young beasts who died tragically due to hunger.
Jiujiu looked at Huangsha and her eyes lit up instantly.
In fact, during this period, Jiujiu has been thinking about how to popularize the methods of making ceramics by herself. However, because the firing of ceramics is time-consuming and requires a lot of firewood to be burned, and someone must watch them all the time. Once the temperature is too high or too low, it is easy to cause bad changes, so Jiujiu has never spoken. Now that the yellow sand is opening, Jiujiu seizes this opportunity to prepare to popularize the ceramics.
Jiujiu looked at Huangsha and said, "I have a way, but it's quite time and effort. I don't know if you're willing to spend time."
The orcs who were originally with Huangsha had a crisis of no place to store food at home, but they were told because Huangsha's home was the most serious. Now, seeing Jiujiu say that she really has a way to store food, her eyes lit up instantly, and she nodded almost immediately, saying: "We are willing, we are willing."
In their opinion, it is not a problem to spend some time and effort. After all, spend some time and effort to exchange for sufficient food when the rainy season comes to ensure that you and your young beasts will not starve to death. As long as you are a human, you know which one is more cost-effective.
Seeing that these female beasts were really willing, Jiujiu nodded and agreed to them, saying, "Since you all want to do it, from now on, no matter what I say, you must do it, and don't question my decision, is it okay?"
The female beasts looked at each other. Although they had to do whatever she said to Jiujiu and could not question her, the way to make jerky was to Jiujiu tell them free of charge. This time, they could make jerky. Compared with the hard work and not questioning, they were more willing to choose to believe Jiujiu.
Seeing that the female beasts were willing to believe in themselves, Jiujiu asked them all to go back and come the next day.
The ceramics that Jiujiu made for herself and Sha Qing are all gadgets, and it only takes a fire, but if you want to cook larger items for everyone that can store a large amount of food for a long time, it must be a large tank.
Large tanks naturally require relatively large places and the space they need is still more important to master the heat, and the firing environment is much stricter than small pottery. Jiujiu instantly remembered the pottery furnace he had seen on the trees before.
There are many medium-modes and many shapes of kilns, but now they are in the era of slash-and-burn farming, so the kilns that Jiujiu need must be easier to build, and it is best to adapt to local conditions without spending too much effort to build them.
After all, although she taught the people of this tribe how to make jerky, if the kiln was made for too long, their trust would dissipate little by little in doubt.
In the evening, after Sha Qing came back, Jiujiu still stewed a pot of meat soup, and then made some jerky meat, and told Sha Qing that she wanted to cook the porcelain in their house on a large scale.
Jiujiu looked at Sha Qing's eyes and said, "You have seen these things I burned. They are quite strong. They are not afraid of fire or water. If you put the dried meat here and seal it with animal skin, it will definitely be stored for a long time."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she subconsciously looked at Sha Qing.
When Jiujiu was talking, Sha Qing kept lowering his head and thinking about things. Seeing that Jiujiu had finished speaking, he lowered his head and thought for a while and nodded.
He has used the things made by Jiujiu for a long time. It is indeed the same as Jiujiu said. He is not afraid of water or fire. The most important thing is to isolate the moisture. If you really put the dried meat jerky in this container and wrap it firmly with animal skin to isolate the moisture outside, it can definitely be stored for a long time, but...
Sha Qing looked at Jiujiu and put forward his own thoughts: "Your idea is very good, but the things you cook are too small, one can't hold much, and if each needs a skin, not many people can accept it." (To be continued)
