Chapter 400
It's like a long narrow canyon, and it's like an irregular basin.
In fact, the altitude here is quite high, but the steep ridge adjacent to the north and the towering mountain forest to the south leave a relatively low place.
There is no wind, only heavy rain and sun, forming a unique ecological landform.
There are a large number of huge trees growing here, strange and strange, and weeds growing on the ground that are more than one person tall, jump up to see the situation ahead.
Indeed, the vegetation here is very different from before, and it feels like you have arrived in a new world.
"Lu Zhe, I want to pee!"
Lu Zhe turned over a pulsation, the bottle: "Pee!"
"Big brother, are you thirsty again?"
"No, I have other uses."
"What's the use?"
"You don't want us to get lost in there, do you!"
"Use this to not get lost?"
"Others can't use it, but I can." Lu Zhe said seriously.
"Well, I believe your!" Jiang Yao reluctantly took the bottle, saved him a full bottle, and handed it back.
Lu Zhe took it, it was still hot, pale yellow, very transparent and clear.
"Lu Zhe, if you dare to drink, I won't kiss you for the next month."
"It's not that there is no water, why should I drink this?"
Saying that, he unscrewed the lid, poured a little on the ground under his feet, and then screwed the lid.
"What does that mean?"
"Keep the smell, maybe we can find our way home through this!" Saying that, Lu Zhe sorted out his backpack again: "Let's go!" The
two of them walked through the weeds again, but before coming, they had applied a lot of mosquito repellent herbs on their bodies, otherwise now the mosquitoes alone could suck their blood dry.
The two walked a long way, and every other distance, Lu Zhe sprinkled a little.
Finally out of the meadow after more than an hour, and here they saw what they had been waiting for!
On the edge of a huge banyan tree, a row of purple "bamboos" grows, each with a leaf crown at the top.
Lu Zhe was overjoyed: "This trip is really not in vain!" "
What's that?"
"Sugar cane!" Lu Zhe hurriedly walked over and held the "bamboo" in his hand to prove his judgment!
Sugar cane!
Really sugar cane!
Since the first rainstorm, Lu Zhe found sugar cane in the dark, and he has never been able to find related species on the island, but he didn't expect to encounter it here!
Further on, there are quite a few!
With sugar cane, you can directly get a lot of sugar, which is crucial to improving the nutrition and taste of food!
Lu Zhe opened a wrist-thick sugar cane and handed it to Jiang Yao: "Chew!"
Jiang Yao frowned: "It's too thick, it will make me feel afraid of items of such shapes!"
"Then forget it, I'll chew it myself."
Chop twice, chew for a while, and get a dozen canes in a row.
Packed in bundles with rope, do you want to continue to explore?
At least not today.
These sugar canes are the most gratifying harvest.
"Go, go back to the camp, plant some, eat some, and refine sugar."
"Let's go back like this!"
"So what else to do?"
Jiang Yao pursed her lips and smiled: "I want to eat sugar cane."
"You wait, I'll cut another one for you!"
Jiang Yao pulled him back and said leisurely: "I want to eat a little thinner!" "
Don't you have a cleanliness fetish?"
"You are an exception!"
Half an hour later, Jiang Yao took a long breath and came to a conclusion: "It turns out that sugarcane can also supplement protein!"
"Well, let's just talk about it, don't write it in a diary." Shallow knows.
"Shallow too!"
"Who is that young lady, it's not strange to do any strange things!"
Jiang Yao "poofed" and smiled: "Okay, you rest, let's go!"
"Not a big problem!"
Lu Zhe rolled over and carried the sugar cane bundle on his body: "Let's go, don't wait for the hot spring water to get too hot in the dark, you can only climb the tunnel and go back." "
Hmm!" Jiang Yao nodded.
The two returned to the camp, brought back the sugar cane and made a few girls ecstatic, Ning Shu immediately cut one, nibbling on the sugar cane thicker than his arm, Ning Shu felt that the whole person was sublimated.
Next, Lu Zhe will collect sugarcane water.
He found a large rock, a flat rock with a slight slope.
Lu Zhe used a file to rub a groove in the middle above the stone, stuck a piece of peeled sugarcane in the groove, and then squeezed it hard with a thick wooden stick.
The sugarcane water was squeezed out and then flowed down the groove, with a toy beach bucket underneath.
There was a lot of sugar cane, and after a while a small half barrel was collected.
If nothing else, just add lemon and boiling water to this water and you will have a sugar water drink!
But Lu Zhe's pursuit of sugar water is much more than that.
He put the sugar water into the pot and boiled, and when it was almost cooked, the sugar water became darker in color and gradually attached to the bottom of the pot, becoming red-black crystals.
The sugar obtained at this time is brown sugar.
Add water, stir and add bamboo charcoal.
After a period of time, and then filtered with cloth, the bamboo charcoal will absorb the color in the brown sugar, and Lu Zhe finally got a yellowish liquid.
This is a state that can be easily misunderstood.
It's okay, continue to boil so that the sugar in the liquid appears supersaturated.
When boiling until it bubbles, stop heating, pour it into the helmet and let it stand.
As the temperature gradually drops, white crystals precipitate at the edge of the sugar juice, which are white sugar.
Lu Zhe twisted a little and ate it in his mouth, and sure enough, there was no trace of peculiar smell.
This means that from now on, they have a new condiment that can be used sustainably!
Brown and white sugar!
Although it is laborious to make, in order to get a better taste, several girls are not afraid of hard work at all.
Ning Shu said happily: "We also have more and more condiments, with salt, palm oil, coconut oil, whale oil, lard, oyster sauce, lemon juice, honey, monosodium glutamate, and now sugar, which can be supplied to food stores in the future." "
It's a pity that there is no vinegar and soy sauce, otherwise we could make more delicious food."
Lu Zhe thought for a while: "Soy sauce... You have to have beans, and I haven't found them on the island so far, but you can try brewing vinegar. "
Would you make vinegar too?"
"There are 100,000 whys!"
Lu Zhe checked the system manual and found that there was really a specific way to make vinegar in the wild!
Shen Bing said: "But does vinegar have to be fermented by vinegar koji or yeast?"
"Of course it's better to have it, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't, we can use the ancient method to make vinegar, using the existing grain, plus the right amount of sugar and wine."
However, it is not brewed and eaten, it needs to be fermented for a long time to be called vinegar.
Ning Shu smiled: "A long time? On this island, we lack everything, but the last thing we lack is time! Lu Zhe, tell us how to do it, let's make vinegar together! "
