Lu Ning really couldn't think of a good solution to this problem in a short period of time.

But he remembered that Ye Rangqin Ke seemed to have some metal utensils in his hand, such as the bronze knife he used for self-defense.

I don’t know if he has any other metal tools. Maybe I can use resources to exchange for some when he returns.

After taking a bath, Lu Ning got out of the bathtub, put on animal skin clothes, and carefully stepped over a pile of bottles, cans, vegetables and meat on the ground.

Lu Ning felt more and more that his little mud house was a little crowded.

Since he needed to do alchemical experiments, there was an extra cauldron in the house to specifically refine medicinal herbs.

At the same time, there are a lot of containers used to hold various successful and failed samples that have been refined.

There is also a lot of food piled here.

Plus two bathtubs, one large and one small.

There are also two large wooden stakes for him to sit on while reading and doing questions.

As a result, his small mud house now has almost no room to stand, and there are even several rows of jars placed on the kang. He dare not turn over when sleeping at night.

Lu Ning has recently been planning to build two more rooms specifically for bathing, studying and researching alchemy.

What's more, he also has a drawing of the alchemy workshop in his hand, which was left for him before the manufacturing station entered the update and upgrade state.

Of course, this matter cannot be rushed for a while, and there is another very urgent issue.

Due to the change in weather, it would be fine if the vegetables and berries were kept in the cellar, but the meat of these animals would be miserable.

The temperature has been unstable in the past two days, sometimes warm and sometimes cold, and the animal meat melts and freezes again and again.

Lu Ning turned over the animal meat in the jar. It looked like it was no longer fresh in color, and there was a vague smell of it.

"It seems to have deteriorated a bit..."

Dabing saw Lu Ning's actions and came up to smell it, then pushed the jar away in disgust.

"Still picky about food."

Lu Ning patted the pie on the head, but he was also very worried about the spoiled animal meat.

"Now that my body has recovered, I will go hunting again starting tomorrow... I don't know if my skills have deteriorated.

"In addition, the meat needs to be processed...

"It would be great if there was salt. It can be made into cured meat so that it can be stored for a longer time.

"But there is no good way now. It should be better to just take it outside to dry and let the wind blow."

Lu Ning took the jar out, found a few clean slates, moved them to a cool and ventilated place, and then spread the meat on them.

Without pickling, even if the meat is air-dried, the shelf life cannot be extended much, but it is still a hopeless solution.

As the seasons change, troublesome problems of one kind or another always arise.

"Later, let's talk about it. Now that the river has opened up, we might be able to go down the mountain to catch some fish or something..."

Lu Ning was thinking while drying the meat.

As the weather gets warmer, food storage becomes a big problem.

This is not like winter. As long as there are no ultra-low temperatures and blizzards caused by the cold wave, there is nothing to worry about if the food is left outside to freeze.

Therefore, compared to "storage", the idea of ​​​​warm season should be closer to the direction of "acquisition".

It’s almost the difference between taking a large amount at a time and taking a small amount and taking multiple times.

Considering the past from this perspective, hunting is actually not a good choice.

Because the amount of a single harvest cannot be determined, it may be nothing for several days, or it may be a large harvest in one go.

If the harvest is small, you may continue to starve.

If the harvest is large, it must be eaten quickly within a few days because the meat is difficult to store.

And whether to continue hunting during this period is another question.

Therefore, farming your own land is definitely a perfect solution, and fishing, where the harvest can be relatively fixed every day, is also a better choice.

So Lu Ning quickly determined the course of action for the next few days while drying the meat.

Hunt first to transition, wait for the vegetable fields to mature, and at the same time try to catch fish.

However, there is still a big difference between the plan that was thought up in the mind in advance and the actual development in reality.

As the saying goes, plans can't keep up with changes: as the days passed quickly, Lu Ning didn't catch any fish, but the harvest from hunting was beyond imagination.

I don’t know if it’s because the cold winter has passed, but the wild monsters have been extremely active recently.

When Lu Ning goes out for a trip, he can't go far before encountering four or five waves of wild monsters.

Lu Ning now eats meat every day, frying, frying, stewing, steaming and grilling, boiling and boiling...

Well, actually there aren’t that many tricks, after all, the materials are limited.

But Lu Ning has tried his best to change the dishes.

But in the end, he and the pie were both disgusted when they saw the meat.

"How come you can't catch fish?"

Lu Ning was very puzzled by this.

Although he has never been able to swim since he was a child, he has never been in a river, never crossed the sea, never picked out bird eggs, and never caught crickets...

But can catching a fish be so difficult?

Lu Ning also used a spear to spear fish, but even though he could be considered to be quite quick-sighted and quick-handed, he couldn't spear any of the fish.

Dabi squatted on the stone and watched Lu Ning jumping around like a monkey in the river all morning. However, the clay pot specially brought to hold the fish was still empty.

Dabi looked at him, and Lu Ning looked at Dabi.

"By the way, I heard that animals generally have the ability to catch fish. You should also be able to catch fish, right?"

Lu Ning asked.

Big Pie raised his head.

Oh, just catching fish.

Stupid human being, let me show you what I am capable of and give you a real shock.

Dabi jumped down from the big stone, majestic and high-spirited, and walked towards the river with a square step in the posture of a feather fan and scarf.

Then Lu Ning watched helplessly as the guy fell into the river with a plop.

After flopping around for a long time, the pie caught an ice floe, panting and paralyzed on it, and drifted away along the water.

Lu Ning:......

oh.

Forgot that this guy can't swim at all.

But he, Lu Ning, could forget it. How could he forget about Big Pie?

This guy was definitely born into the wrong child.

It must have a common language with a creature called Erha in the original world.

Lu Ning sighed. This guy can't be counted on, so he still has to rely on himself.

Catching fish requires not only experience and skills, but also a very important factor, which is tools.

Lu Ning doesn't have the ability to grab it with his bare hands.

After testing, using a stone spear as a harpoon to spear fish does not seem to be very feasible.

The difference between a harpoon and a spear is still a bit big.

So what other more convenient fishing gear is there?

Generally speaking, the only two types that are slightly simpler and more operable are fishing rods and fishing nets.

But it's a pity that Lu Ning can't do the same.

Not to mention doing it, in fact, he has never seen these two things except on some TV or comics.

Especially fishing rods.
