Chapter 98 Jam, Dried Fruit, and Canned Food
"Ah, eat three meals a day, and still make you full, how much food does it take..."

"That's right, that's right, how much food do you need, no, no, no, no, no, just eat twice a day at most..."

"That's right, leader, you must not do this..."

Su Yue looked at the chaotic scene again, her eyes turned cold, and the people below immediately quieted down.

"I don't care about the people of other tribes, but as long as they are members of my tribe, they must follow my orders.

I let you eat three meals, and you have to eat three meals if you have to, and you can't do without a meal...

How can you work if you are not full...

Let me tell you, the next tasks in the tribe are quite heavy, not only to build houses, but also to build walls and store food...

If anyone is slowed down due to lack of energy, then I will throw him out of the tribe..."

Hearing that Su Yue was going to throw those who didn't listen to her out of the tribe, the tribe panicked instantly.

Especially those who are old or disabled, it took only a few days for Su Yue to take over the tribe.

They already know their leader well, that's a one-sided temperament, and they can chat and laugh with you at ordinary times.

But once she violates her wishes, she will turn her face and deny anyone. If she says she wants to throw you out, then she will definitely throw you out.

But their leader is different from other leaders, he doesn't think about how to exploit them, and he always thinks about them.

Now they are not afraid of anything, even if it is death, they are afraid that Su Yue will drive them out of the tribe.

Because they knew that from now on they would not be able to meet a leader as powerful as Su Yue.

It is also impossible to meet a tribe that treats them so well, so even if they die, they want to die in the tribe.

The clansmen were stupefied for a moment, afraid to speak for a moment, and all agreed to eat three meals.

Seeing that no one objected to her at the scene, Su Yue asked several elders to go in and remove all the meat inside.

Since they came out very early, after dividing the meat, it was only eight or nine o'clock in the morning, and it would not affect the other work of the tribe at all.

"Okay, the meat has been distributed to you, you can go back, but I have to say something ugly.

If any of you don't eat it, just keep it and put it away, so it's fine if I don't find out. If I find out, I believe you will never be able to bear the consequences. "

"Eat, eat, eat, we eat, we absolutely eat, we don't stay!"

"Yes, we eat, we eat, please don't drive us out."

Seeing that all the clansmen were frightened by her words, Su Yue's tone softened a bit.

"Okay, you guys take all the meat back, as long as you are obedient and follow my will, I will not give up on every clansman.

Even if he is old and disabled, I will not abandon any of my clansmen..."

After Su Yue finished speaking, seeing the clansman excitedly returning to the cave with the meat, she said to Lihua who was about to leave,
"By the way, Lihua, after you put the meat back in the cave, call all the clansmen in your team over, and each take a stone knife. I have something to tell you to do."

"Okay, leader!"

"Dahei and a few elders, since we don't have any pottery in our tribe, I have to trouble you to go to Shishan to get some stone jars..."

"That's fine, but what is a stone jar, and what should it do?"

"The stone jar is actually quite simple. It's about this big, and its shape is similar to the stone pot we usually use..."

"Well, we all understand, don't worry, we will definitely get it for you."

In less than a moment, several elders came back with several stone jars on their shoulders.

Su Yue divided the people brought by Lihua into several teams, and the first team picked out the wild vegetables in the cave.

The yellow ones, the pickled ones, and the rotten ones are discarded. Take the rest out and dry them with a dustpan, and put them into a clean stone jar aside.

Su Yue took the rest of the tribe to pick out canned fruits from those fruits, let them peel them, and then cut them into pieces.

Seeing that there are fewer and fewer fruits that can be peeled and cut into pieces, the rest are some fruits similar to tomatoes.

"Leader, what should we do with the remaining fruits? Should we throw them all away or distribute them to the clansmen?"

"No, the leftovers can't be canned, but we can make jam. Which of you has a larger stone pot, bring it here, and I will teach you how to make jam.

From now on, you can handle the wild fruits and vegetables in the tribe as I taught you today. "

"Okay, okay, no problem. I have several large stone pots at home. I'll move them."

"I'm going too, I'm going too."

Soon a row of stone pots was lined up on the open space, and each ten pots contained half a pot of water, which waited until the water in the pots boiled.

Su Yue picked up the cleaned fruit and brushed it a few times, and the fruit was cut into pieces and dropped into the pot.

Seeing this, other clansmen followed suit one after another, and slowly all the fruits in the stone pot were boiled into porridge.

A fruity aroma wafted from the whole clearing.

Su Yue took the clean stick aside and stirred it carefully to prevent it from sticking.

"Okay, now pour these porridge-like fruits into these large stone jars and wait for them to cool naturally."

While filling the jar with jam, Su Yue introduced it to the clansmen.
"Now we are making this called jam, which is used to drink with water, and the next thing we are going to do is canning."

"What about the canned food?"

"Canned food is even simpler, that is, we cut the fruit into chunks, put it in water for a while, and put it in a stone jar...

Then we boiled the honey in a pot, and finally poured the honey water into the stone tank, so that the lumpy wild fruit was not over...

Finally, after the wild fruit pieces and honey water in the tank are completely cooled, seal the mouth of the stone tank with leaves and mud, and put it in a cooler cave. "

In fact, it is reasonable to say that it will be steamed again at the end, but the conditions here are not allowed, so I can only give up that step, and now she doesn't know if it can be made successfully.

Forget it, try it now, in case it works.

"Ah, it's so simple. Hurry up and make it. We'll make dozens of tanks and save it for the cold season."

Due to the large number of people, before noon, Su Yue and the others finished making jam and canned food.

But because there are too many fruits, all the stone jars made by the elders have been used up, and the wild fruits have not been finished yet.

"Leader, wait, let's get some more stone jars."

"Yes, yes, you guys do it first, we will get the stone jar right away!"

Seeing their anxious look, Su Yue was about to stop them, but they had already run far away.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't need a stone jar. We can make dried fruits from the remaining wild fruits."

"Then how to make dried fruit!"

"There are actually two ways to make dried fruit. The first is to cut the fruit into thin slices and put them in a dustpan to expose to the sun to evaporate the water inside..."

Before Su Yue finished speaking, Lihua looked at the gloomy weather and said with a disappointed face

"But there's no sun today, how can you bask in it?"

"Yes, yes, what should we do if there is no sun today? Or we should make all of them into jam or canned food, and we will make dried fruit when the hottest season comes."

Su Yue looked at their disappointed faces, patted Lihua on the shoulder and said,

"Didn't I say there is another kind? The other kind is to cut these fruits into thin slices, then heat up the stone pot, and use the heat of the stone pot to evaporate the moisture of those fruits...

In addition to the stone pot, we can also divide the bamboo into several halves to make a cushion like we usually sleep on, hang it over the fire, and use the temperature of the fire to dry it. "

 In fact, I have never done these three things. Please forgive me if there is something wrong with the information I checked on Baidu.

  As the old saying goes, ask for votes.
