After being stranded on a deserted island, they all plotted against me

I just know that when bamboo is placed in fire, it will explode with a "bang", which is what we call firecrackers.

"I have my own way." Qin Ruoyan smiled and looked at her lovely sister, then turned her gaze to Zhang Liu who was still working hard beside her.

She didn't know whether the other party had made any specific arrangements for the bamboo.

After all, if you want to burn fresh bamboo sap.

According to Qin Ruoyan's estimation, at least the remaining bamboo in front of Zhang Liu would have to be used up to barely burn enough for five people to share, right?

"Is there any work that I need to do?" Noticing Qin Ruoyan's gaze, Zhang Liu stopped what he was doing, looked at a bamboo joint he had just peeled in his hand, pursed his lips and asked.

At the same time, Zhang Liu's tone was somewhat conflicted.

Although he really hoped that he could work harder and make bamboo bowls for eating.

This way, dinner can be more refined.

There is no longer a need for a group of people to gather around a basin, hold something with chopsticks, blow it cool and then eat it immediately.

But after hearing about fresh bamboo juice, something he had never heard of before, and Qin Ruoyan also said that it tasted sweet.

Zhang Liu couldn't help swallowing his saliva and began to recall the taste of honey he had eaten before.

Being a poor man, he did not enjoy as much food as other students. He could enjoy various snacks and desserts made by various chefs.

For Zhang Liu, lying down with a little sweetness is something that can make him very happy.

So he thought, if he could really have a sweet drink.

Then it is definitely worth it to selectively put down the work at hand and tinker with it, as long as it doesn’t take up too much time!

Section 1#Volume 2 A stable food source is the first step to development: Chapter 222: Production of fresh bamboo sap

"You need to cut down a few bamboos of this length." Qin Ruoyan pointed at the remaining half of the bamboo and gestured. She said with some embarrassment, "I just don't know if you will be able to use it later."

"How do you cut it?"

I heard that you can drink fresh bamboo juice just by chopping bamboo.

Zhang Liu immediately put aside all his concerns and started asking, and the machete in his hand began to swing continuously.

He was already looking for the angle to cut...

"Just cut it in the middle and don't let the two ends close. It's best to break it into pieces, but not too thin..." While Qin Ruoyan was marking the position on the bamboo with her hands, Anya and Su Yan were already there He came over carrying the third bamboo with a squeaking sound.

After dropping the bamboo, they also stood aside and watched the fun.

After hearing from Qin Ruoshuang that the traditional Chinese medicine fresh bamboo juice was very sweet...

"Let me do it!" Taking the machete that Su Yan used to make the bow in her left hand, Anya held the fire hammer in her right hand like a dual-wielding god of war and said, "I'll smash this bamboo to pieces!"

Looking at Anya's fiery performance in front of him, Zhang Liu swallowed slightly.

Then he quietly walked back to his work place and continued to cut the edges of the bamboo with a machete.

It's better to leave this kind of thing to the other party...

Not far from Zhang Liu, Qin Ruoyan, Qin Ruoshuang, Su Yan and Anya had already started to work busily.

Anya chopped the remaining bamboo according to Qin Ruoyan's request.

Qin Ruoshuang and Su Yan began to build a small half-meter-high earthen stove according to Qin Ruoyan's standards.

In Qin Ruoyan's words, roasting fresh bamboo shoots is not really roasting over high heat.

Instead, the cell fluid and various inorganic salts in the bamboo are "cooked" out by a hot roasting method, which is very inefficient.

Generally speaking, a stick of incense can only last for a little while.

Moreover, the pried open bamboo strips must never come into contact with open flames, otherwise once the bamboo strips are carbonized, the juice produced by roasting will not be enough to be absorbed by the bamboo charcoal.

To ensure this, the platform must be a full half meter high.

And there can't be too much wood burning inside.

When smoke starts to come out of the small stove, the warm flames are used to heat the bamboo to squeeze fresh bamboo juice.

Zhang Liu also completed the work at hand.

He had three complete bamboo sections in his hand. After removing the burrs, smoothing the burrs and splitting them in half in a straight line, he got six semi-cylindrical containers.

"Well, this should be able to be used to hold rice, right?" Looking at the four girls who had gathered around him, Zhang Liu smiled and said, "In the future, we'll have a place to put our food when we eat."

Su Yan didn't say anything, but curiously took a semi-cylindrical bamboo bowl in her hand and played with it after Zhang Liu had repeatedly polished it smooth with the back of a knife.

Anya stood silently by the side. She looked at Zhang Liu who was working hard to improve his living standards, and her heart was filled with the feeling of "I am living my own life".

Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang have different thoughts.

My sister felt that Zhang Liu was very virtuous at the moment, like a househusband.

But my sister feels that Zhang Liu is very manly and responsible now, and it is suitable for her to entrust her future entirely to him.

But after the silence.

Several girls also responded individually.

"I'll take this to hold the fresh bamboo juice!"

Qin Ruoyan picked up an extra semi-cylindrical bamboo bowl and ran to the earthen stove that was smoking and burning.

She was going to use this finely polished work to replace the small clay basin she had previously prepared to hold fresh bamboo sap.

Then he sat down and observed the flames, replacing the dried bamboo strips.

In Qin Ruoyan's opinion, using a fresh bamboo bowl to serve fresh bamboo juice is definitely a wonderful way of "making the original soup into the original food".

Su Yan ran to the side with a machete and continued to adjust the wooden bow.

Qin Ruoshuang and Anya turned their eyes to Zhang Liu.

It is full of the implication of "I'm fine now, please use me as you like."

From the time the bamboo bowls were made until dusk, Zhang Liu, Anya and Qin Ruoshuang sealed the two walls of the bamboo house together.

As for the other two sides, there is no way to close them for the time being because of a shortage of fences used to build the walls.

During this time, Zhang Liu also went over to check on the fresh bamboo juice that Qin Ruoyan was sitting and paying close attention to.

From a visual perspective, it should be a clear, slightly yellowish liquid.

But if you sniff the air, you can't smell anything like the fragrance of bamboo because the smell of smoke is too strong.

However, judging from the surprised expression on Qin Ruoyan's face at this moment, he still had high expectations for this "Chinese medicine dessert".

At the same time, Xiang Lingying, who was setting a rabbit trap in the cave, successfully waited for Gu Qingrou and Lan Yueting to come back with water.

"Ugh... I'm so tired..."

Under Xiang Lingying's concerned gaze, Lan Yueting pressed her waist hard. Gu Qingrou beside her was also slightly out of breath, and was using a small giant clam shell to scoop water from the puddle to drink.

However, compared to Lan Yueting, who has two weights on her chest.

Gu Qingrou's condition is still slightly better at the moment, at least she doesn't have back pain.

While the two of them were chatting with Xiang Lingying, who ran to the cave entrance and looked down, Xiang Wanying also returned from not far away. She also greeted them enthusiastically: "You are back!"

To be honest, for the master and servant, the fact that no one was in the cave at once made them feel a little insecure.

After all, when two of them got into trouble and were left alone and helpless, both Xiang Lingying and Xiang Wanying had suffered a lot.

Therefore, they are very afraid of being alone together.

Now I see Lan Yueting and Gu Qingrou coming back.

Holding a gutted sea fish, Xiang Wanying smiled happily.

"Yes, Sister Wanying, we are back." Lan Yueting nodded, then took the fish from the other party and said, "Is this for dinner today?"

"No, tonight's dinner is rabbit. I plan to dry the fish and send it to Zhang Liu." Shaking her head slightly, Xiang Wanying rejected Lan Yueting's suggestion.

"Well, that's fine. Rabbit meat doesn't have much fat or oil." Nodding, Lan Yueting showed great understanding in this regard.

Because she herself didn't like eating rabbit meat without oil, but she wouldn't eat it if it was for Zhang Liu who was working hard to build a house.

Lan Yueting didn't mind at all.

She is now looking forward to her future relocation.

"I've noticed that rabbits have recently learned how to bite through ropes." Just as Lan Yueting and Xiang Wanying were reaching a consensus on which was tastier, rabbit meat or fish, Xiang Lingying walked to the bottom of the cave holding two bitten ropes and said, "Look."

"Could it be that the rabbit broke it?" Lan Yueting looked at the broken rope and then said, "After all, the rabbit is alive and can move."

"It shouldn't be." Gu Qingrou looked at it for a while and said with her hand, "If it was torn, the rope should be scattered in strands, but here it is broken in clumps."

Section 1#Volume 2 A stable food source is the first step to development: Chapter 223: Girls always say angry words when fighting for a man

Xiang Wanying didn't say anything, but just silently looked at the rope made of woven hay.

Just like what Gu Qingrou said.

There are clusters of things at the fracture.

It's most likely bitten off.

But she also examined the fracture marks more carefully, then nodded and said, "It was bitten by a rabbit."

When Xiang Wanying heard Xiang Lingying say that the rope was bitten off, the first thing she thought about was not how the rabbit could bite the rope.

Instead, he was worried that a wolf might come and bite the rope and take the rabbit away.

If this is the case, then for the wolves, the person who is bending down to catch the rabbit is an obstruction to hunting or a target for snatching prey.

As wild animals, they certainly cannot understand that the rabbit is hung on the rope and cannot move because it is a trap set by humans.

However, there were no traces of canine teeth gnawing at the broken part, but instead dense tooth marks.

This made her relax.

"Are Anya and Su Yan staying over there?" After the worried questions deep in their hearts disappeared, Xiang Wanying, Lan Yueting and Gu Qingrou asked about the situation at Zhang Liu's side: "By the way, Zhang Liu How is the house going?"

Speaking of this, Gu Qingrou began to vividly introduce the bamboo house that Zhang Liu was building.

He also began to use his talent for painting to carefully introduce the general structure of the bamboo house to Xiang Wanying and the others who had never seen it before.

"With a roof, more than fifty square meters?"

"A wall that completely blocks out the sunlight?"

"Can we draw water from above and use it as a bathroom?"

Xiang Wanying and Xiang Lingying were stunned after hearing this.

After the introduction, the four of them started to eat dinner in the cave. At the same time, in the bamboo house on the plain below the east side of the hill, Zhang Liu and his four companions also started their dinner.

With the addition of Anya and Su Yan, we simply used all the remaining thirteen lamb ribs today.

However, since the volume of the small clay pot is limited, Zhang Liu can only use a fire hammer to break the sheep's ribs in the middle.

The part with bones is smaller, so put it directly in the pot and stew it.

Those with meat would be cut into small pieces, strung together with bamboo sticks, and roasted next to the fire.

This time, salt was added to the mutton soup, so Anya and Su Yan were not expecting too much.

But Zhang Liu, Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang were already looking forward to it very much. They had not eaten salt for a long time.

And the fresh bamboo juice is also ready, in a small shallow bowl.

According to Qin Ruoyan's suggestion, this thing is cold in nature. In order to prevent stomach upset, it is better to mix it with water and drink it as a beverage after a meal.

So except for Anya, who shamelessly dipped some with her finger, put it in her mouth, and then said it was sweet with shining eyes.

No one has tasted the taste of this fresh bamboo juice yet.

"Zhang Liu, what day is it today?" Qin Ruoyan suddenly spoke when Zhang Liu was watching Su Yan slowly polishing the wooden bow with a small knife.

"Today?" Zhang Liu was a little surprised when asked this.

He took the notebook from his backpack and opened it. Looking at the eight characters on it, he said, "It should be December 22, 2022. It has been 41 days since the incident happened."

As he spoke, Zhang Liu took out his pen and drew another one.

"Is it the 22nd?" Qin Ruoyan sighed slightly, her tone a little depressed.
