Chapter 66 No.60 Roasted Grasshopper with Seven Salts

The lit dead leaves are not used to roast the grasshoppers, nor to heat the brine in the Huanglong can, but to prepare for the next step of boiling the salt.The plant ash after burning dead leaves contains some salt, but what Lufeng pays more attention to is its filtering effect.

While the dead leaves were still burning, Lu Feng picked up a few pebbles by the stream, built a simple earthen stove, and used dead branches to draw fire from the pile of burning dead leaves to light a bonfire.

"squeak!"

It's almost burnt!Time to move on to the next step!
Use an empty [Huanglong] can to scoop up a can full of stream water, and Lu Feng extinguishes the pile of dead leaves that are burning vigorously, leaving behind a pile of black particle debris. Pick up the clean part and put it into the can soaked in salt flowers middle.

"squeak!"

The little guy [Lu Lu] also ran over to join in the fun, picked up the black dead leaf particles with his soft paws, and sent them to Lu Feng, while looking at Lu Feng with his big cute eyes.

"squeak!"

Hey!Thank you cough!son!

With a grin, he picked up the dead leaf particles in Xiaolu Lulu's claws and put them into the can. Then Lu Feng tilted the can so that the salt water in it flowed to the other can through the black dead leaf particles, while the soil and impurities were absorbed into the can. Leave.

After repeating this several times, the brine in the Huanglong can was finally crystal clear, without any trace of muddy yellow, and the third step can be carried out.

"squeak!"

Open the pot!

Picking up the [Huanglong] can that contained half a can of clear salt water, Lu Feng put it on the earthen stove that had been lit for a long time, and waited quietly for the salt water in it to boil and evaporate, allowing the salt dissolved in the water to be analyzed.

This is the oldest salt-making method in ancient China. Due to the small output, low labor efficiency, high cost, and especially the high fuel consumption, it has long been eliminated from the salt manufacturing industry.

However, as a squirrel, Lu Feng doesn't need too much, and there is no shortage of dead branches and leaves in the mountains, so naturally there is no need to consider the so-called production efficiency.

[Huanglong] The capacity of the can is not large, and the bonfire underneath is quite vigorous. After a while, the salt water in the can boils, and white smoke floats above the can, which is the contact between hot water vapor and cold air Finally, it was condensed and formed, and was blown by the mountain wind, disappearing into nothingness.

"squeak!"

Next, it’s time to prepare the ingredients!

Watching the water in the can gradually decrease and become viscous, and white salt flowers can be seen gradually at the bottom, Lu Feng carried the big grasshopper to the stream, and pulled out the small dagger with a grinning grin.

Compared to the size of a human, a grasshopper can be cooked with just a wash, but for Lu Feng, this big grasshopper is at least as big as a fat sheep.

But to cook a fat sheep, it is necessary to disembowel the belly, take out the internal organs, peel off the outer skin, and clean it.

"Crack~!"

The outer skin of a grasshopper is an exoskeleton, which naturally cannot be peeled off, but the internal organs can still be taken out.

The sharp small dagger made of metal easily penetrated the exoskeleton of the big grasshopper, broke open the chest and abdomen of the big grasshopper, pulled out the internal organs, chopped off the excess joints, and washed them in clean water.

"Squeaky~~~"

Hey!
I used to watch people roast whole sheep, but now I roast whole grasshoppers!

Pick an extra slender and flexible one from the dead branches, and use a small dagger to take a good rest. Lu Feng stabs this slender wooden spear through the tail of the big grasshopper, and sticks it out from the back of the head and neck, and fixes it firmly. in clusters.

"Squeak~~~, squeak~~~"

Fold off two Y-shaped branches and fix them in the soil next to the earthen stove to make a simple grill. Lu Feng put the grilled grasshoppers in his claws on a skewer, and while turning them, he used one to shed the seeds. The fluffy dogtail grass is stained with brine from the pot, and spread evenly on the big grasshoppers.And as Lu Feng continued to rotate, the big grasshopper, which was constantly being roasted, made a slight creaking sound under the contraction of the brine and its own flesh, and at the same time emitted bursts of aroma.

"squeak?"

Huh?
It smells good!

After spinning around for a while, he stabbed it with a small dagger to confirm that the big grasshopper was completely cooked. Then Lu Feng took the big grasshopper off the grill, and tossed the two fattest thighs to the side. The little [Lu Lu] himself bit the big grasshopper's chest.

"Crack~Crack~"

good!good!
It smells good and tastes even better!

No cumin, chilli, only bittern though.But the big grasshopper is plump enough, and there is even some fat accumulated in its body. In addition, Lufeng keeps turning, so that it can be heated evenly, and its own fat can be fully utilized.So in the end, it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, salty and delicious, just like salt-baked shrimp, you can't stop eating it once you eat it.

"Kacha~, Kacha~"

"Kacha~, Kacha~"

Both Lu Feng and Xiao [Lu Lu]'s mouths were wriggling all the time, and they couldn't stop at all.After gnawing on the two thighs that were given to him, the little [Lu Lu] took a piece of delicious flying muscle under the wing from Lu Feng's claws before he was completely full.

"belch--!"

Very full!

Looking up, a full belch came straight out, not only the little [Lu Lu] was full, but Lu Feng also had a full stomach.This big grasshopper was half the size of Lu Feng's body. Although it wasn't actually that big because of its joints and wings, it was also full of weight and sincerity.

"Google gurgle gurgle~"

The brine was still boiling in the cans on the earthen stove, but it was at the final stage.There is not much water, and the salt flowers are thickly piled up, and they are about to condense into hard lumps.

"squeak!"

When you’re full, it’s time to exercise to promote digestion!

Squatting up, Lu Feng stood by the earthen stove, inserted the slender wooden spear used to roast the grasshopper just now into the brine, and kept stirring and turning.

This is the last step of boiling salt in the ancient method. In the final transpiration step, you must keep stirring. The point is that you can always observe the color of the salt in different parts to confirm that it will not be overcooked.

stir!stir!
Lu Feng devoted himself to this project. Although the amount of salt in the canning pot was not much, it was enough for Lu Feng to cook for a season.

Ever since meeting five girls in Caohai and eating all kinds of sweet dried fruits, Lu Feng's sense of being a human being has been out of control.Now, not only has fire, but also tableware, kitchen utensils, and condiments, why not let Lu Feng cook delicious food, and the desire to enjoy delicious food is high!

"squeak!"

Done!

Time to go home!

In the end, there was no trace of water vapor in the canning pot, only a puddle of fine salt grains lying on the bottom of the pot, shining with the unique brilliance of table salt.

Before the heat dissipated, Lu Feng covered his palms with dead leaves, took the canned Huanglong food off the soil stove, scooped up stream water to extinguish the campfire, and cleaned up the barbecue traces, waiting for the temperature of the canned Huanglong food to drop to an acceptable range , then called the little [Lu Lu], and returned to the big pine tree with the things that should be taken away.
