Chapter 259 - 260 Preparations Before Manufacturing
At noon, everyone was still eating meat from the Sabertooth Beast, as the newly hunted game had not been processed yet.
Upon seeing this, Uncle Lini was so anxious that he was about to burst.
"Su Tang, when can we start making smoked meat? It’s quite hot in the valley, and the game won’t keep for long! If we don’t handle it quickly, it will rot away soon!"
Su Tang also understood the seriousness of the situation and immediately nodded. "Don’t worry Uncle Lini, we will start preparing to smoke the meat this afternoon. It’s my first time doing so, and I am not very sure if it will be successful or not, but let’s give it a shot!"
Yuanyuan and Meng Ze had not yet found the plant she wanted, so without steam, she had no way to process the large chunks of meat.
The only option was to cut the meat into long thin strips, marinate it with a layer of salt, and then smoke it over the fire until it dried up.
Although this method also worked, the smoked meat strips were like snacks to the Beastmen, and they consumed a lot of salt!
Beastmen had been taking turns making salt at the sea, and since salt doesn’t spoil, the more the better!
