The strongest travel live broadcast

Chapter 290 Long-lost feeling

After a brief rest in the house, Zhang Yang added some firewood to the small firepit, and then closed the door and went outside the cabin.

Seeing the luxuriant leaves and vitality in front of him, breathing the fresh air full of vitality, and the faint smell of decay unique to the forest, Zhang Yang found the direction of the jungle directly in front of the cabin and walked forward.

"Okay, this afternoon I have to quickly prepare the bed and cover for the night, otherwise it will be a bit cold to sleep even if I light a fire."

After deciding on the work tasks for the afternoon, he talked to the people in the live broadcast room, and then went forward to find hay suitable for weaving straw mats.

Straw mat refers to a mat woven with flexible grass stems. In ancient times and even in rural areas today, it is generally used as a mat for sitting on the ground. It was also spread on the bed in the past. It is an economical and practical household item. It will be used to build roofs for waterproofing.

In fact, as long as it is that kind of long grass, you can make straw mats, but they are all hay. Fortunately, it is summer now, and hay should be easy to find, even if it is a little wet. It can be baked, at least it can be used.

500 meters? 1 km?

Anyway, of course I feel like I have walked a long distance. Fortunately, when I come here, I basically leave a little mark on the trees along the way, so as not to find the way when I go back.

As we get deeper into the jungle, there are gradually fewer and fewer traces of human activities. The most obvious thing is that there is no place to stay on the next road. There is no machete, only a big thick wooden stick, only It can make a way for some shrubs that are easier to open.

Fortunately, as he slowly approached the depths of the jungle, Zhang Yang discovered one thing he needed this afternoon, that is, weeds that can be used to weave straw mats, and there were actually a few willows near those weeds, which made him He directly solved all the materials needed next.

There are a few low willow trees growing on the edge of a grass full of mud. Those long willow branches hang down with gravity, and they are almost as tall as Zhang Yang, so they can be easily removed.

"I found it. The grass on the ground is called cattail grass. It is a kind of aquatic plant. It is a kind of wild vegetable that grows widely in our country. Yes, this thing is a kind of vegetable. The white and tender part of this grass and the underground part Young grass sprouts can be used. When we were young and we were wandering outside with our grandfather and had nothing to eat, we would make some of this kind of food, and the taste can be said to be refreshing and delicious.”

Looking at the very familiar cattail grass in front of him, Zhang Yang couldn't help but think of the scene when he was wandering with the old man when he was a child, and couldn't help but fell into memories, but he quickly recovered.

"What the hell? Is this weed edible?"

"Of course it can be eaten. There are quite a lot of this thing growing here. When I was young, I often liked to take it home and cook it."

"We call this kind of grass cattail here, and it can be used to weave straw mats and the like."

"Yes, yes, this thing can be eaten. We call it a water candle here, and it tastes pretty good."

I don’t know the reason for the bushes in front of me. It’s still growing on the ground, and the surrounding area is full of mud. Obviously, there is no shortage of water, but many of them have dried up. It is estimated that the dry area is about half the size. Zhang Yang walked forward stepping on the mud, squatted down, casually grabbed the handle, and pulled it out easily.

"That's right, I just want to use this kind of grass to weave a straw mat. In fact, this kind of grass can also be used as fodder, and the pollen of male flowers, which we commonly call 'Pollen', also has medicinal and nourishing properties. Function, this thing is also the raw material for paper and rayon."

The next job is easy. After Zhang Yang introduced the cattail grass in the grass in front of him, he stepped on the mud and bent down and stretched out his hands to pull it up frantically. There were a lot of dry grass on the ground. He estimated it. It is completely possible to weave two straw mats, one for spreading on the ground, and the other for covering the body, even the wild ground where he slept after leaving the cabin can have a blanket.

Since becoming a second-level anchor and improving his physical fitness in an all-round way, Zhang Yang seems to have not done such heavy physical labor for a long time. Suddenly, he seems to have found a long-lost feeling, and he is full of interest when working. The movements of his subordinates were also fast and without stopping. After a while, what seemed to be 1/8 of the entire grass was cleared by him, leaving behind a field of uprooted cattail grass.

Although it is only about 1/8 of the position, this amount is enough for him to weave a straw mat.

After more than an hour, Zhang Yang stopped what he was doing, and slowly straightened his body that felt a little stiff due to bending over for a long time. The fruits of the land's labor, he couldn't help saying with emotion.

"I'll go. I haven't done this kind of work for a long time. It's really a long-lost feeling."

There are dried cattail grass all over the ground, which is enough to weave straw sandals. After collecting the willow branches, I will come back and tie up all these grasses before I can go back.

"It's almost there. This amount should be enough to weave two straw mats. Let's go, let's get some more willow branches."

It's just that when he walked to the willow tree, Zhang Yang first came to a few big bluestones not far away, and some people in the live broadcast room were a little confused about his idea of ​​getting willow branches, you said you should get some It is understandable to weave straw mats with licorice. What are you doing with willow branches? This thing seems to be useless.

"What's the use of willow branches? Are they used to fight mosquitoes?"

"You still shoot flies, you upstairs have a lot of brains."

"Brother Yang, do you want to use willow branches to weave baskets?"

"What the hell? Don't we use bamboo for weaving baskets?"

"How can there be bamboo in Changbai Mountain, I can only find some substitutes, and even if there is bamboo, you have to find a way to split the bamboo."

Arriving near those large bluestones, Zhang Yang originally planned to break the stones to get a small stone knife, but after passing by, he realized that there was no need to do so. Under the large bluestones, he did not know when it was smashed. The relatively sharp stone flakes were lying quietly on the ground at this time, about the size of a palm, covered with mud.

He picked up the small stone flake, and after roughly smoothing the soil on it, he stretched out his fingers to feel the sharp position of the flake, and then nodded in satisfaction, then turned and walked towards the willow trees, at the same time I also saw the barrage in the live broadcast room, and found that someone had guessed his thoughts, so he said with a smile.

"That's right, I just want to get some willow branches to weave a basket. After all, I need a basket to hold the ingredients. Otherwise, if I see something good on the road, I don't even have a place to put it. Normally, it should be made of bamboo. Made it up, but there is no bamboo here in Changbai Mountain, we can only use willow branches instead, the effect should still be ok, at least it will be fine for a few days in a short period of time.”

The willow trees not far away are about one and a half times taller than Zhang Yang’s. The thin willows hang down to the ground, and the willow leaves that seem to be alive grow on them. Even those willows look like They are all green and full of life.

This kind of wicker is actually the softest and the hardest to break. After all, this thing is very resilient, and it can only be done with the help of tools. I don’t know that weaving baskets will not be so difficult in the future. Zhang Yang can only find the most The thinner ones below, the thicker ones can't be used yet.

"Hey, this stone slice is quite useful. It can be used as a knife. It seems that we have tools to deal with that hare at night, haha."
