It was here.
Traditionally, they had always favored air-drying the at for preservation, which was a common practice among the clans.
However, the Tribe Chief’s ntion of potential issues in the clan during winter had struck a nerve. What if sothing went wrong with the dried at?
The most pressing concern for the clansn was that the Tribe Chief suggested consuming a portion of the at now. Given the Five Elents Clan’s belated food storage, there was an apprehension about potential scarcity in the future.
The clansn were arduously trying to convince Gu Chaoyan. They understood that she had their best interests at heart but couldn’t bear the thought of wasting food.
Gu Chaoyan grappled with the challenge posed by their deeply ingrained beliefs. The clansn’s fears of hunger and coldness ran deep, leading them to be anxious about every aspect of their situation. Beyond their anxieties, they had little else on their minds. Their prevailing mindset favored a conservative approach for survival.
Nevertheless, Gu Chaoyan’s insistence persisted. She reasoned, “Dried at carries a high risk of spoilage and offers limited nutrition, primarily serving as a hunger suppressant. If we consu so of the at now, it will replenish the nutrients for a few individuals. When we are in good health, winter will be more manageable. We now possess weapons, which will facilitate hunting, and I can arrange traps.”
“Under my approach, I will guarantee that you won’t endure starvation in the winter.”
“Eat so fresh at. There’s no need to dispute this with . My mind is set, and I have to pursue this course of action. As for the smoked at, if you’re concerned about unforeseen circumstances, we can have both—drying a portion and smoking a portion. This year, we’ll smoke a small quantity. When this year concludes, and you judge it suitable, you can make a decision for next year.”
“We must prepare and cook the at during this period. It’s essential for everyone, and no one is exempt,” Gu Chaoyan asserted firmly.
“Once your bodies recover, you’ll experience fewer illnesses, leading to an improved quality of life.”
“We have a wild boar that’s been prepared—half smoked, half dried—and the remaining wild rabbits have been cooked for everyone to enjoy,” Gu Chaoyan declared resolutely.
Despite her convictions, there were still clansn who sought to persuade her once more.
Aina chid in from the side, “Consider this: when have we ever had a wild boar for the winter in the past? We’ve already amassed an abundant supply of prey earlier this year, surpassing anything from previous seasons. With our weaponry and the ample ti at our disposal, we can surely secure more hunting opportunities.”
“The Tribe Chief has devised a plan, and we should follow it. Our current comfort is a direct result of the Tribe Chief’s leadership. What reason do we have to doubt her?”
Upon hearing Aina’s remarks, the clansn found themselves unable to object.
They resud their tasks peacefully.
Given that her clansn were more experienced in dealing with the prey, Gu Chaoyan chose not to participate directly. However, she arranged for soone to learn from her about making bacon. Subsequently, a portion of the at was used for smoking.
The air-dried at, although there were many subpar pieces, was not particularly palatable overall. Nevertheless, the bacon stood out for its exceptional taste.
The aroma of the bacon intensified with each passing mont.
The enticing scent drew everyone’s attention.
“Tribe Chief, observe those folks. They were initially hesitant about wanting smoked at, but now they’re all lured by the aroma,” Aina remarked with a playful grin.
The clansn had harbored doubts about the Tribe Chief’s intentions, which had fueled their initial reluctance.
“Tribe Chief, I apologize for my earlier opposition to the idea of smoked at. In the winter…”
