Chapter 25: Food Storage, Drying, and Smoking

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The bed for the night was built.

Bell kept himself busy for a while before returning to the hammock.

Everything was done with ease.

Seeing that Bell was done with the activities, the comnts on the screen gradually decreased. The audience also rested.

However, with the increasing number of viewers, people from all walks of life had joined.

Among them, there were many fans who liked to do video editing. At this mont, they were considering releasing Bell’s live broadcast on video streaming websites.

This could also increase Bell’s popularity faster.

Bell accepted the suggestion happily.

‘With the publicity from other platforms, my popularity will increase faster.’

Bell thought to himself.

The night passed peacefully, and Bell woke up the next morning.

“Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the sign-in reward!”

“Food preservation techniques will be rewarded this ti. Host, do you want to receive it now?”

The first ray of sunlight appeared.

A familiar system notification sounded in Bell’s ear.

“Receive. Now.”

Bell said with his thoughts.

He had a wild boar lying under the ground. If he did not use so food preservation technique, the corpse would quickly rot. That would be too wasteful.

Bell had thought that if the system did not reward him with these food preservation thods, he would spend his popularity points to exchange for the skill.

Although he would empty his reserves, it was better than watching a large pile of pork be wasted.

This was a prival forest. Food and water were very precious things.

As Bell spoke, a lot of information appeared in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for mastering the food preservation skill LVMAX]

Sensing the knowledge in his mind, he nodded in satisfaction and got up.

“Good morning, everyone. Let see how many people there are.”

After getting out of the hammock, Bell greeted the audience.

Although it was a little early, there were also so early risers.

The screen was still filled with comnts, and it did not look empty.

Seeing that people were online, Bell was in a good mood.

“Everyone is so early.”

“Our goal today is very simple. Let’s see if the wild boar’s corpse is still there. If it is, the problem of our food can be resolved.”

In fact, Bell was a little uncertain.

After all, it had been an entire night. Although the rain could dilute the sll of blood, the rain had stopped near evening yesterday. No one knew if the sll of blood would seep out from the soil.

Bell followed the marks he made and found the place where he had buried the boar.

Seeing that there were no claw marks on the ground, Bell heaved a sigh of relief.

“Looks like our luck is good. The wild boar was not discovered.”

Bell said happily.

Although it was in such a season, a night’s ti did not cause the pork to deteriorate.

It took so effort to dig out the soil and pull the wild boar’s corpse up.

This wild boar weighed more than 80 kilograms.

It was slightly heavier than so adult males.

But the audience could not tell it at all in Bell’s hand.

“Oh my god, although this isn’t the first ti I’ve seen it, seeing the host’s strength is still surprising.”

Everyone sighed.

Bell ignored the comnts. His attention was focused on the wild boar’s corpse.

“This wild boar is not small. Even in the wild, it would definitely be considered an adult.”

Bell looked at the wild boar on the ground and explained to everyone.

“We definitely won’t be able to finish such a huge wild boar in one al, but we can think of a way to preserve the wild boar at.”

As he said this, Bell began to think about the food preservation technique.

“Is the host joking? We don’t have a fridge in the wild. Moreover, how can it be preserved for a long ti in this season? We can only eat two als at most, and the rest can’t be eaten.”

“Yeah, if you eat rotten at, it will be no different from taking poison.”

Many of the audience lived in the city and did not understand how to preserve it in such a season.

But this question was not a problem for Bell.

“There is a way to preserve it, and it’s not only one way.”

“Long ago, our ancestors had already found a way to preserve food for a long ti. The people of Sichuan are especially proficient in these thods.”

Bell said mysteriously.

“Haha, I’ve already guessed how the host is going to preserve it.”

There was no lack of Sichuan residents in the comnts.

After hearing about their hotown’s specialty, soone imdiately reacted.

“That’s right. The thod is actually very simple. Drying or smoking it.”

“This way, the food can be stored for a long ti without turning bad. Good drying or smoking can even ensure that the food will not change taste even after three to five years.”

“Of course, we need so other materials. We don’t have all of the materials, but we can use what is available to preserve it for a month or two.”

Bell explained to everyone.

One to two months was enough for him to consu all this food.

With that, Bell took out the dagger.

He began the dissection work.

“This wild boar has been dead for an entire night. What we need to do now is to take out its innards and bury them. On one hand, we need to hide its sll like I said before, and on the other hand, the at can easily turn bad when its innards are ruptured for a long ti.”

“Secondly, we need to choose a storage thod.”

“I’ll explain the dry and smoking thods here.”

“Everyone can listen and rember this thod because this thod can not only be used in the wild, but also at ho to make so dried at or smoked food.”

“If you want dried at, as the na suggests, you need to dry the water in the food. We naturally need to get rid of the blood first.”

“This wild boar’s blood has almost completely seeped out. What we need to do next is to remove the fat and cut the at into strips that are about 0.5cm wide.”

“The reason I am doing this is to dry it quickly.”

“We are in the wilderness after all. The weather is unpredictable, so we have limited ti.”

“We also need to make a support tool to let it air dry.”

“This is relatively simple. Find two wooden sticks and insert them to the ground, then place a wooden stick on them. Do this where the sun is abundant. Put the at on the stick and let it dry.”

“The ti taken will depend on the degree of sunlight. Normally, it will take about a day.”

Bell demonstrated while explaining.

Not only was the at dried, but even the thod of smoking was explained to everyone by how to use fire and smoke to dry the food and give it an antibacterial layer.

And choosing twigs to burn.

There should be so water content in the wood to have the smoking effect.

After making sure the fire was not too big, they could place the at on top to be smoked.

Along the way, he had to constantly add these branches with so moisture.

Bell demonstrated both thods.

The audience obtained knowledge, and Bell obtained a large amount of food.

Bell was getting closer and closer to completing the challenge.
