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

According to Qin Ruoyan, she was going to have a cup of hot "pine needle tea" in the evening.

Whether it is the preparation process of pine needle tea or the process of surrounding the thorn fence, it is actually quite cumbersome.

In the later stage, if it is the latter, you will have to risk getting your fingers pricked.

But there are too many people who are free at the moment.

When everyone except Qin Ruoyan, Qin Ruoshuang and Zhang Liu put down their work and joined in this entanglement work.

A large pile of thorn strips wrapped in curtain cloth were taken away in an instant and turned into guardrails.

When Lan Yueting and Su Yan were tying the rattan, they tied it in two parts, upper and lower, referring to the standard guardrail shape in the cartoon.

But these thorns can only wrap around the first layer of vines.

Only a small part of the second layer can be wrapped.

But this is enough to make the girls feel safe.

When the thorns were installed, the fire that Zhang Liu was busy with slowly rose.

The small clay pots that had been prepared long ago were placed on the rack, and the girls sat around the campfire in pairs to keep warm and chat.

Zhang Liu was using a metal knife to cut pine branches into wood fluff. He planned to make pine cone torches.

Whether it's tonight or tomorrow night, considering the threat of wild boars.

Zhang Liu planned to give everyone a torch to prevent any unexpected situations.

After all, even if the torch is not lit, it is very suitable as a long-range weapon due to its top-heavy weight.

Even after lighting it and waving it around, it might be more suitable for driving away wild animals than a machete.

The power of the machete is naturally greater than that of this wooden torch.

But the wild beasts don't know this.

Watching a ball of fire waving "whoosh whoosh" and a knife slashing in the air.

The beast will inevitably feel that the latter has little combat power and threat, and then it will become an embarrassing situation where both sides suffer losses.

"Let me help you." After sitting next to Zhang Liu and witnessing the process of making the first torch.

Xiang Lingying whispered something, then picked up a pine branch as thick as his arm and began to cut the top with a knife. Although his movements were a little clumsy, the force he applied was very stable.

After seeing her action, everyone except Xiang Wanying and Lan Yueting who were cooking.

Other girls also started making torches.

The main method of making a pine torch is to break a pine wood as thick as an arm to create a gap of about one-third from the top to the bottom.

Then fill it with old man's whiskers, pine cones, and very thin pine branches.

Finally, separate and wrap rattan skin around the outside.

This ensures that the torch burns in sections, so that the entire torch does not explode when burned.

Compared to Zhang Liu's skillful behavior, the torches of others had more or less some problems.

It was not that the gap was too small for Songtaka to enter, so he could not be used as fuel and was forced to counterattack.

The gap was too big, splitting the pine wood in half, so it could only be used as a burning consumable.

As a result, the bonfire was made more vigorous by the pine branches thrown into it.

Although the pine branches that are not completely dry will not burn for a while after being put into the fire.

But once it is dried, flames will come out all over it.

This also greatly increases the speed of cooking the broth.

As the broth in the small clay pot gradually began to boil, the unique aroma of rabbit meat slowly drifted in the air.

Lan Yueting put a pinch of sea salt into the broth, and its aroma was fully stimulated.

All the girls stopped what they were doing and looked into the broth that was boiling and boiling, their eyes filled with deep desire.

Section 1#Volume 2 A stable food source is the first step to development: Chapter 282 The smiles of the nine victims are transferred

Zhang Liu, who was already somewhat hungry and thirsty, immediately swallowed his saliva and then said, "It smells so good..."

Based on the principle of ladies first, he was going to resist the urge to pick up his chopsticks and let the other girls eat first.

"Hmm..." Next to Zhang Liu, Qin Ruoyan, who was also hungry, showed a hint of desire on her face, but she quickly suppressed it.

In order to show my ladylike temperament, I won’t be the first one to take action!

Beside Qin Ruoyan, Xiang Wanying and others also showed hesitant expressions, and they were all ready to wait for others to take action.

"Eat! Why don't you eat?" Anya was heartless. She used the chopsticks made of pine branches to pick up a piece of rabbit leg meat and put it into her mouth. While chewing, she looked at the people around her curiously and asked, "This rabbit meat is stewed very mushy!"

“It’s really delicious!”

After Anya finished her work, Zhang Liu decisively picked up the chopsticks and got himself a piece of rabbit meat, and then started chewing it in big mouthfuls.

"I specially cut the rabbit meat into half pieces so that it will be juicy when you bite it and not too dry."

Seeing the satisfied expression on Zhang Liu's face, Lan Yueting also told him about her new approach with a little joy.

Zhang Liu was eating and couldn't speak in response.

Su Yan chewed it in big mouthfuls and swallowed the food in her mouth, then said, "Sister Ting, you are awesome!"

"Is that so? Yanyan, as long as you like it." Hearing Su Yan praising her like this, Lan Yueting suddenly felt a little guilty. She didn't know how she should face this good friend, especially in front of Zhang Liu.

To be honest, Lan Yueting was worried that Su Yan would talk to her about this matter the whole day, but she didn't mention it at all, as if she hadn't said anything wrong...

Dinner was finished quickly. Clean water was added to a small clay pot, and pine needles were put in to stew. This was how the pine needle tea that Qin Ruoyan had mentioned before began.

Based on his current experience, Zhang Liu feels that the smell of pine needle tea is not pleasant.

But maybe it's because the amount is too much, anyway, it smells a little pungent after stewing.

But this is actually one of the ways to avoid wasting water when washing clay pots.

And if you can drink something hot and not too greasy before going to bed, it will be a nice treat for everyone present.

Especially girls.

If it were before they were in danger, they would rarely sleep after eating meat unless they were particularly hungry.

Although no one had ever tasted pine needle tea, they were still looking forward to it out of trust in their companions.

The waiting time for pine needle tea is relatively long.

Under the explanation of Qin Ruoyan, the "little expert" in traditional Chinese medicine.

Zhang Liu, Xiang Wanying and Xiang Lingying also understood why they could only see pine cones but not pine nuts.

"This is a tabula rasa, which doesn't produce cones but reproduces with scaly, feathery seeds."

"Although it doesn't have pine cones, the medicinal effects of Pinus tabulaeformis are relatively good among all pine trees. It has the effects of lowering blood pressure, lowering blood lipids, and lowering blood sugar!"

"As for the method, you can boil water or soak it in water. The boiling method requires boiling twice, while the soaking method only requires once, but boiling it is the best!"

After briefly explaining the method of making pine needle tea.

Qin Ruoyan used two branches to take the small clay basin off the campfire, then added cold water and started boiling the water for the second time.

"I should have brought the bamboo bowl with me." Zhang Liu sat in front of his shelter, looking intently at the pine needle tea in the small clay basin, and then said helplessly, "This way I can drink it right away."

"Drinking together will give it an extra taste." Xiang Wanying glanced at Zhang Liu's lips, then turned her head to look at her own young lady and joked, "Good things should be shared."

"Hmm?" Xiang Lingying, who was eating a jaboticaba, didn't understand the hidden meaning of her head maid's words at all and just blinked in confusion.

After hearing Xiang Wanying's words, Su Yan silently glanced at her best friend, with a slightly complicated look in her eyes.

Time passed minute by minute. After Qin Ruoyan confirmed with the help of the firelight that the tea in the small clay basin had completely changed color, she took it off the fire.

By the way, he also poked open the small stove made of piled up soil.

After everyone has finished drinking tea, it is time to spend the night, and at that time, providing the heat source of the campfire is of utmost importance.

After waiting for the clay pot to cool down completely, it is time to distribute the pine needle tea.

Zhang Liu volunteered that he could be the last one, while the other girls used rock-paper-scissors to decide who would take the first sip.

"It's delicious!" Anya, who had a burst of luck and defeated seven opponents to get the right to "have the first time", took a big gulp. Then she licked her lips, stuffed two jaboticabas into her mouth as "after-tea snacks", and then praised with a very happy expression.

“The taste… is really good!”

Xiang Wanying was the second one, looking at Anya's still grinning smile.

After taking a sip carefully, she immediately smiled and said to Qin Ruoyan who was next in line, "Your cooking skills are amazing! Please try more!"

"Is that so? This is my first time doing this too!"

Qin Ruoyan had never had the experience of drinking pine needle tea. When she heard Anya and Xiang Wanying's comments, she suddenly felt secretly happy. She never thought that she could make pine needle tea with such a simple method.

I am truly a little genius in traditional Chinese medicine!

Taking the still warm clay basin, Qin Ruoyan took a sip with a smile.

A smile can be transferred, and her smile transferred to Xiang Wanying and Anya's belly.

Bitter, no sweetness at all!

And because this pot had been used to cook meat, it still had a meaty smell!

It’s like a pine needle version of Bak Kut Teh… and with Coptis chinensis slices added!

Is there something wrong with your sense of taste?

Why does it taste so good!

Qin Ruoyan looked at Anya and Xiang Wanying in front of her with horror, who were smiling. She was about to speak when she suddenly realized something.

That is, if I say now that it doesn't taste good, will I have no chance to harm others?

Why am I the only one who is unlucky!

She looked silently at the next victim, the pitiful little Su Yan, and said with a smile on her face: "Student Su Yan, it's your turn..."

"Hmm?" Su Yan, who was originally looking forward to the pine needle tea, suddenly felt a creepy feeling. She subconsciously shrank behind her best friend Lan Yueting.

But as the next victim, Lan Yueting's expression was also a little horrified.

Finally, under Qin Ruoyan's enthusiastic promotion, Su Yan took a bite.

Trying to hold back the taste in her mouth, she decisively began to harm her best friend.

........................

"Xiang Lingying!" With a smile that was uglier than crying, the third-to-last unlucky guy Qin Ruoshuang looked at the second-to-last unlucky guy and slowly said, "Would you like to have a bite too?"

77.

Section 1#Volume 2 A stable food source is the first step to development: Chapter 283 I just want to do it with you for a while.

Even a fool could see that there was something wrong with this thing, but after her maid's persuasion, Xiang Lingying finally admitted it. She frowned and swallowed the bitter pine needle tea in her mouth.

Then he looked at the ultimate unlucky guy, the only boy present.

After one round, there was still half a basin left for Zhang Liu.

All the girls looked at him expectantly.

As the last victim, Zhang Liu sighed deeply in his heart. He knew that if he didn't drink it, he would most likely be forced to drink by a group of people.

Gritting his teeth, Zhang Liu drank it directly into his mouth.

Holding a mouthful of the bitter and salty pine needle tea, he finally swallowed it while the eight girls were trying hard to hold back their laughter.

“The taste is delicious!”

Putting the half-empty clay basin on the ground, Zhang Liu spoke helplessly.

"Maybe I didn't soak the pine needles in advance, and I added too much." Qin Ruoyan stood up and walked to Zhang Liu. She wiped the tea residue from the corner of his mouth with her fingers, and then said softly: "But drinking more is good for your health."

As she spoke, Qin Ruoyan picked up the pine needle tea that Zhang Liu had placed on the ground, took a sip along the spot where the other person had just drunk, and then said with a smile, "It's very sweet."

This behavior shocked all the girls.

They never thought that there was a way to "indirectly kiss" Zhang Liu.
