Chapter 37 Be sure to find more food!
Xiong Qingmei took out a piece of bacon from the big bamboo tube and smelled it.Taste is good, no change.It seems that this method is feasible.

"Yes, that's it. Auntie, take out the bacon to dry tomorrow morning." Xiong Qingmei ordered with a smile.

Zuo Xiayi smiled and nodded in response.At first, she didn't believe in such an easy way to preserve meat.In the end, the meat was still good after two days, and its taste hadn't changed.Bacon should work.

Zuo Xiayi is now looking forward to the appearance of bacon.When the time comes, all the boys in the tribe go hunting and catch more game so they can buy more salt later.

"Where's uncle?" Why didn't you see Uncle Fang Xun?

"Your uncle is in the cave next to you. He is checking the milk fruit you brought back. It tastes good. Xiong Qingmei, you are really good. We are lucky to have you in our tribe." Xia Yi said happily .

Now she regards Xiong Qingmei as a hundred outstanding children.How could she have been told bad things in the past?
"Let's go and have a look." Xiong Qingmei said with a smile.

The cave next to it is specially used by the tribe to store things.The cave was deep and dark.Luckily, being an orc, I can see the path under my feet clearly in the dark.

There are special people watching in the cave.They knew that Xiong Qingmei and Xia Yi were looking for Uncle Fang Xun, so they let them in.

At the mouth of the cave, things started to pile up.The first is the salt of the Huangfengshan tribe, packed in bamboo tubes.However, not much salt.Xiong Qingmei took a look and found that there were only five barrels left.That's what the tribe is eating this month.There is a lot, but not nearly enough to make bacon.

The most stored animal skins are a lot, and they are all relatively good skins.It is estimated that there are one or two hundred pieces.To be honest, Xiong Qingmei was really shocked to see so many good skins.These will all arrive at the Huangfengshan tribe next month in exchange for resources.

It is not known who dug the hole.It's very deep.At a glance, it is estimated to be 200 meters deep.Compared with the cellar, the storage here is not bad.

Xiong Qingmei and Xia Yi walked slowly into the depths of the cave.However, when Xiong Qingmei walked into the cave, he found a large pool there.There was still some ice in the pool that hadn't completely melted, and the water in the pool was still cold.

There is a lot of food piled up by the pool, including the eggs Xiong Qingmei mentioned earlier.There is already a big bag here, as well as the milk and fruit she picked, and some unknown food.Xiong Qingmei looked at the pool and was very surprised, "Who came up with this pool? It's very clever."

"This is what our elders think. Every autumn, we pump out all the water in the swimming pool. When winter comes and it snows in the mountains, we put some ice in the pool. It's cool in the mountains. The ice doesn't go so fast Melted. How much food can be stored? The elders are very smart." Talking about the person she admired, Zuo Xiayi's eyes lit up.

"Well, she's really smart, she can't even think of it herself." It's even possible to use this method to preserve food.

"Then why don't we dig more holes so that we can preserve more things?" Xiong Qingmei asked suspiciously.

Zuo Xiayi laughed when he heard this, "There is no shortage of food in spring, summer and autumn. We only want to store things that are fast and hard to get, such as things that cubs want to eat. From spring to winter, this pool of water Neither can save us much meat."

Xiong Qingmei thought for a while.Now there is still ice in the pond.Summer is over, and the ice in the pond should have turned to water.Very little is preserved.

Zuo Xiayi looked at Xiong Qingmei very disappointed.She couldn't help touching her hair lightly, "You can find a lot of delicious things, and some things can be stored. This winter will be even better. The whole tribe will thank you."

"Aunt Xia Yi, I hope that people in the tribe will no longer go hungry. I will try to find more food, and I will." Xiong Qingmei clenched her small fists.

"Then I will thank you for the people of this tribe." Fang Xun on the other side, who had finished his work at this time, replied with a smile.

Fang Xun checked the contents of the cave every day.Once something starts to break, he should pick it up as soon as possible, so as not to make things next to him break down faster.
