Chapter 199 The Unfinished Meat
Chapter 199 The Unfinished Meat
Rumble rumble...
The convoy slowly moved into the main courtyard.
The old man began to tell Li Mosi about what had happened that morning.
"This morning when we were loading the truck, for some reason, the goblins brought up all the meat that hadn't been roasted into jerky..."
Beside Ziyi, the clever boy who had returned to the tribe with the group was also reporting.
"The tribe doesn't have enough manpower to process that much meat; they're busy digging pits right now. Besides, they really don't want to eat meat anymore; they can't even defecate."
Seeing that Li Mosi didn't speak, the old man continued.
"Then, for some reason, they threw the troll's corpse up here..."
As Zi Yi listened to the clever boy's report in his ear and the old man's words not far away, the corners of his mouth involuntarily tightened.
The clever boy blinked, and seeing that the leader didn't move, he continued speaking.
"Chief, the troll's corpse is starting to stink. Crooked Hand thought it was too disgusting to leave in the tribe and wanted to throw it away. But Old One-Eye said you had to say so, so he put it on the cart."
Zi Yi smiled, which Zi An found somewhat strange.
The saintess was completely baffled.
What are these goblins thinking?
And the old man kept talking.
"I figured since the truck was already loaded, it wouldn't be good to put food with the corpses. So I just brought the raw hides too, maybe you could use them, sir. And that's how we got here."
Li Mosi glanced at Zi Yi, who was laughing for some unknown reason, and the clever boy beside him who was still reporting.
He knew without even thinking that the two sides had different perspectives on the matter.
"Well done, you can go and rest now. I'll have the other tribesmen unload the things from the vehicle."
Upon hearing this, the old man nodded.
"Yes, sir."
The convoy quickly entered the main courtyard, where the tribespeople who had received orders began unloading the goods, while those who had just returned rested.
Zivan remained lost in his own thoughts.
Baron Stern is dead?
I clearly didn't see his giant shield.
Baron Stern's Domain, Baron Stern's Domain.
When was the last time I learned about Baron Stern?
His doubts were even greater now than before.
But he knew he had to help the adults and the saintess take down Baron Stern's territory!
He has to go home for the winter!
He was overwhelmed with mixed emotions, but with nothing to do, his anxiety only intensified.
"Master, the clever boy told me it's like this..."
Li Mosi watched as her people unloaded the goods while Zi Yi translated.
As he listened, he couldn't help but twitch his lips into a smile.
Good guy.
So that's what happened.
They ate either dried meat or fresh meat every day until the goblins got tired of it!
Moreover, the troll's corpse was starting to stink.
Li Mosi felt something was strange.
He clearly didn't smell the stench of a corpse.
The old man didn't mention the smell of the corpse when he talked about it.
That's definitely not his problem.
Are goblins' noses really that sensitive?
This incident once again changed his understanding of goblins.
After hearing this, Zi'an didn't know what to say.
It seems like she's never encountered this kind of problem before?
The saintess showed a look of disgust.
"Nausea……"
As soon as Li Mosi looked over, she shut her mouth.
I have no idea what she's thinking.
"leader……"
Greedy Meat walked over to Zi Yi with a long face.
"The meat has almost lost its smell."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of horse meat.
Zi Yi took the horse meat.
"I understand. Go and bring the meat down first."
"it is good."
Greedy Meat turned around and continued unloading the goods.
Zi Yi began to translate for the three people around him.
"The meat is about to spoil."
"Um."
Li Mosi and Zi'an nodded.
Even without Zi Yi saying anything, they could tell.
This piece of meat was deep red when it was first cut, but now it has turned dark red and the color has faded.
Li Mosi extended a finger and gently rubbed the piece of meat with the pad of her finger.
Read Chapter 199, "The Unfinished Meat," now to begin your exciting day.
It has a slightly slippery feel.
This is caused by the massive proliferation of microorganisms.
Fortunately, it's not serious.
Such meat is simply not fresh and doesn't taste good, but it's unlikely to cause any food safety issues.
We need to check each piece of meat later.
"Isn't it already rotten?"
The saintess looked troubled.
The color has changed, is it still edible?
"Not yet."
Zi'an couldn't understand why anyone would waste food like that.
"If it really broke, it wouldn't be this color anymore."
She instinctively reached out her hand to Haki Saint.
"What are you doing!"
The saintess immediately hid behind Li Mosi, grabbing his clothes and using him as a human shield.
Upon seeing this, Zivan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly widened his eyes.
Is the Saintess really that close to this nobleman?!
"Yes, Zi'an is right."
Li Mosi grabbed Hagi Saint's arm and pulled her back to her side, turning her head to look at the crates of meat in the wooden frames.
"We'll inspect the meat; any that's rotten will have to be thrown away. The edible parts will be washed clean, boiled, and then roasted into jerky."
"Yes, Master."
Although there are still about fifty tons of fresh meat that haven't been dried into jerky, Li Mosi isn't the only one who can tell whether meat is still edible.
Goblins are better at this.
At Zi Yi's command, all the goblins spontaneously formed teams and began to work, and the new members of the tribe joined in when they saw this.
Separate the good from the bad, start a fire, fetch water, wash the meat, dig a pit, and make a grill with tree branches.
They were exhausted from training!
"Sir, shall we prepare dinner now?"
Several pregnant women carefully walked to a spot not far from Li Mosi.
They didn't understand why they were suddenly being asked to process the ingredients.
It was still quite a while before dinner time.
Even if there's something to do at this time, it's at most just soaking the unhulled wheat in water or starting to cook it.
But they didn't have any wheat among the ingredients they had available.
In the distance, the elderly man with the broken leg also peered over his shoulder.
"It has nothing to do with dinner. You just need to cook the meat later."
Li Mosi waved to them.
"Yes, sir."
The pregnant women walked to the pot, puzzled.
Li Mosi gave Ziyi another instruction.
"Ziyi, don't forget to save some offal. Tonight's dinner will consist of half meat and half offal."
"I understand, Master."
The overall efficiency of the more than 700 people was not low.
As soon as the first bucket of cleaned meat was brought back, a group of people immediately gathered around and cut it into thicknesses suitable for drying.
The tribesman responsible for fetching water poured a handful of clean water into the earthenware jar, and then they threw in the chopped meat.
Watching them busy themselves, Li Mosi suddenly remembered something.
"Ziyi and Zian, come with me inside to get the barbecue grill."
There should be a barbecue grill here!
As expected, they immediately pulled out three huge barbecue grills and five ordinary barbecue grills from the kitchen.
The three huge barbecue grills are probably used for roasting large animals like whole lambs or whole cows.
They found a vacant spot, set up a barbecue grill, and a group of tribesmen came over to light a fire and skewer the meat.
It's much more convenient to have a ready-made frame than to build one yourself!
Seeing his tribesmen start grilling, Zi'an spoke excitedly.
"Master, there should be these things in the other two territories as well!"
Zi Yi also spoke up.
"I'll go get someone to move my things over here now!"
"it is good."
Li Mosi nodded.
"Call some people, I'll go with you. We'll just bring the stuff over in a cart."
Since there were enough earthenware pots here to cook rice, he only summoned the people from the other two territories yesterday in order to save time, and did not thoroughly search them.
Now I have to make another trip.
Fortunately, this trip didn't last long.
With the addition of a dozen ready-made grills and more than twenty large ceramic pots with supports, efficiency increased significantly once again.
It's easy to boil meat, but difficult to dry it.
Even if they extend the shelf life by cooking, they still can't finish processing the horse meat before it rots!
Li Moss looked at Zwan, who was closest to him.
"Zwan, can the cursed people see their surroundings at night by the firelight?"
