The five shelters still existed, but the large green leaves used to build the roofs had long since shriveled and turned brown, and mottled sunlight seeped through the holes, making it obvious that they could not be used to keep out the rain.
However, there is no problem in using it to block the sunlight and serve as a pergola.
Without saying anything more, the four of them quickly found two adjacent shelters to sit down, and then began a simple camping and rest period.
Xiang Lingying took out fruits, mint leaves, and some dried meat from the package. These were all the food they would take back home.
At this moment, Qin Ruoyan had put down the "big fluffy lump of wood" in her hand and was using a plastic bottle to make a fire.
"Sister, can this big tree tongue you mentioned really preserve fire?" Qin Ruoshuang was sitting next to her. At this moment, she watched her sister using a plastic bottle to make a fire, and her tone suddenly sounded a little confused.
"Hmm." Qin Ruoyan hummed a word softly in response. She was carefully adjusting the angle to focus the light, but she actually had no idea in her heart.
When they were chatting before going to bed, everyone talked about the preservation of fire, and then Zhang Liu mentioned that a kind of horseshoe mushroom could be used to preserve the fire for a long time.
Qin Ruoyan asked a few more questions and only then did she find out that horseshoe mushroom was a large piece of wood.
Today, when she was going down the mountain, she happened to see something similar to horseshoe mushrooms, but Qin Ruoyan, who came from a family of traditional Chinese medicine, preferred to call it "big tree tongue".
At this moment she was verifying Zhang Liu's words.
However, the fluffy crumbs that fell off when the tree tongue was broken off also made Qin Ruoyan slightly convinced.
The sun was very strong at noon, and if it had been any other time, we would have succeeded in making a fire long ago.
But today, for some reason, plastic bottles are very inefficient at gathering light.
Qin Ruoyan took a long time to light the tinder.
He blew up the fire and then placed it in the pile of firewood and lit it.
She heaved a sigh of relief as she watched the flame grow and burn to the point where it would not go out.
"Well, great!" Just when Qin Ruoyan was secretly wondering why it was so troublesome to make a fire this time, Qin Ruoshuang's voice came to her ears.
"Hmm?" Qin Ruoyan frowned slightly, her thoughts disrupted and she was a little unhappy.
"After adding mint and honeycomb to the water, it tastes sweet and refreshing. It feels like I have more energy to breathe." Qin Ruoshuang handed her sister a bottle of water and then showed a proud expression: "I smelled this mint bush!"
"Yeah, great." Qin Ruoyan nodded slightly. Although she was uncomfortable with her thoughts being interrupted, she also cooperated with her sister's vanity and then showed a smile on her face.
Qin Ruoyan took a sip of the honey mint water, feeling the cool and sweet taste from her mouth to her throat and finally to her chest. She couldn't help but smile.
Beside her, Xiang Lingying and Gu Qingrou were also enjoying this sweet drink under the scorching sun.
The sun outside is extremely scorching at this moment.
Therefore, the four girls at the river shelter also chose to take a nap first and then continue their journey in the afternoon.
Before falling asleep, Qin Ruoyan specially placed the big tree tongue next to the fire for a second baking. She wanted to make sure it was completely dry so that it would not go out halfway.
In Qin Ruoyan's opinion, as long as the fire could be kept quietly down there, she would be able to ensure the availability of fire at night.
One concern is that she is going to be far ahead of the other three people present.
That is the concern about the wolf pack.
However, when her eyes occasionally fell on the bottle of honey mint water in front of her, Qin Ruoyan always felt a little uneasy.
But no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't find where this uneasy feeling came from.
From a pharmacological point of view, there is no counteraction between honey and mint...
………………
After the sun gradually slid from its highest point, Qin Ruoyan at the river shelter placed a piece of red charcoal on the "big tree tongue" as a fire starter, and then led the team away.
Behind her were three girls who were in high spirits after their nap.
Zhang Liu, who was on the south side of the hill, also started his work.
It was nothing else but the clanging sound of chopping bamboo.
Building a bamboo tank is hard work.
There is no room for laziness, it can only be improved over time.
But he is not fighting alone.
After a large number of fences were completed, Xiang Wanying and Lan Yueting also had some free time.
Su Yan and Anya were so busy with the construction of the house that they had no time to intervene.
So they started to help Zhang Liu.
"Well, you guys help cut the bamboo here, and I'll take these three up."
There were only two machetes and two people helping, so Zhang Liu took quick action.
He carried three bamboo troughs and after brief instructions, he walked towards the top of the mountain.
As for the specific laying steps, Zhang Liu plans to follow the steps from top to bottom.
In this way, the angle and slope can be controlled, thus preventing the sink from being installed in vain.
After reaching the shelter on the top of the mountain, he did not start laying the ground directly, but first ran to the "semi-automatic taro paste making machine" to take a look.
A whole chopped taro and half a basin of water were placed in the small clay basin.
After being hit by the stone at the front end of the bamboo stick for a whole morning, the big taro, which took at least half a day to scrape by hand, has completely turned into a pool of grayish-white taro water.
The stones continued to sink into the water, creating ripples and causing the white solid matter that had already settled slightly to churn up and down.
After this semi-automated production, it is impossible to avoid oxidation.
Unless someone is watching for a long time.
Once the taro is almost broken, start filtering immediately.
However, given the current situation of limited manpower, it is naturally impossible to do such extravagant things.
Moreover, taro water can also be dried into taro powder after oxidation, and the difference between the two is not that big.
Taking the small clay basin from the bottom of the percussion machine, Zhang Liu placed the curtain cloth in a large bamboo tube, and then used another bamboo tube to scoop up a spoonful of grayish-white taro water and slowly poured it in.
This step is done to facilitate filtering.
Zhang Liu was also listening carefully to what Qin Ruoyan said about the taro flour production process yesterday.
As for the filtered taro residue, he threw it to the two grunting little pigs.
Faced with this soft food, the two little pigs, who had gradually become accustomed to food falling from the sky every day, gladly accepted it.
After filtering the taro water in the small clay basin.
Zhang Liu once again used a knife to peel a large taro, cut it into pieces and placed it in the basin filled with water for the second time. With the sound of "pop, pop, pop", the taro paste making machine had a working target again.
After placing the first wave of semi-automatically produced taro flour on flat ground and waiting for it to settle automatically, he began to lay bamboo gutters.
The fifty additional chapters are about to be completed, so the reward is opened.
The reward for additional chapters will be opened at the beginning of the month. I sincerely ask for your monthly votes!
Your monthly votes are the motivation for the failed author Xixi to update more chapters like crazy!
I will use a separate chapter here to announce the bounty and explain the rules for additional updates.
When I was leveling up the new book in January, I bought 20 monthly tickets and got one more chapter.
Then, we obtained about a thousand numbers later.
Theoretically, there are 50 chapters left to be updated, and 47 chapters have been completed so far. If nothing goes wrong, the remaining three chapters will be updated tonight.
That's why I had the nerve to write a separate chapter to talk about the bounty.
(The principle of adding more chapters is to add more chapters above the daily 6,000 chapters)
After that, it was no longer the new book period, so the rule for adding chapters was changed to one additional chapter for every 50 monthly tickets.
The monthly ticket for February is 1800, which is equivalent to thirty-six chapters.
According to the author's writing pace of 10,000 words and two chapters per day, the latest he can do is to finish it on March 19th.
This is how to do?
An author who cannot write more words will become depressed!
So I beg everyone, please vote for me with your monthly tickets, so that I can continue to have a reason to make tens of thousands of tickets every day this month!
One more thing to say about the update time. Currently, the update time for this book starts at 8 pm and ends around 12 pm. If there is time in the future, it will be changed to the morning update.
But the guaranteed daily amount of 6,000 is definitely not less.
Maybe I'm too tired or too busy to update more, but the minimum amount can't be less.
....................................
Let me talk separately about some questions that some readers have raised about this book.
The plot is too slow.
The author has no choice about this, because to put it bluntly, this is just a deserted island. If he really writes in a "not paying attention to details" way, it is estimated that the current one million words will be almost the final word count, and there will be many details that are not clearly written.
The first is the progress of the relationship between the male and female protagonists. The female protagonists are all rich ladies, and when the author was writing, he also hoped to write out their unique flavor and effect.
For example, the ice beauty and the passionate beauty among the twins.
A short-haired girl who thinks about stealing someone's boyfriend every day.
She is a tsundere girl who is tough on the outside but soft on the inside and takes kickbacks, but she is the first rich lolita who wants to turn the tables.
A maid who falls in love with a man and wants to marry him.
A young lady who likes someone but doesn't know how to express it.
After being tricked by her best friend, she masturbated every day and ended up falling in love with a boy with white hair and red eyes.
The biggest breasts that I suddenly want to rely on because of the help of a rainy day.
There are four more girls who will have their own storylines later.
It would take chapters to describe all this.
Just like in the most recent chapter, in order to explain why Xiang Wanying wanted to drag the eldest daughter along, the author also used Anya’s first reverse reasoning to describe the situation of the Xiang family.
So if the plot is slow, this problem cannot be solved.
Of course, it’s not that there is no way to deal with this in the world. Many times, it’s just that there is not enough money.
Next, we would like to invite our Fire Scroll to come on stage.
Because of its valuable feature of difficulty in regeneration, monthly ticket rewards will add one chapter every 50 chapters.
Fire rolls are different!
As long as you are rich, you can make the author quit his job and start making 40,000 yuan a day at home.
Next is the Fire Scroll Reward Rules:
20000 Fire Scrolls plus one more chapter.
In view of its characteristics, Yan Emperor directly added ten chapters.
(This type of reward is usually completed the next day without any delay)
Therefore, the problem of slow plot can be effectively solved!
The author does not see any other questions from now on. If any readers do not understand or have any opinions, you can leave a comment below this sentence and I will answer them one by one.
(In addition, the author will update the highlights of the reader group as soon as possible, please rest assured)
Chapter 372: Which would you choose: loss rate or shelf life?
In order to prevent the subsequent supports from being unable to be laid, the first support Zhang Liu built was more than two meters high.
The highest launching point even requires standing on tiptoe to pave the way.
Compared to the bamboo trough temporarily laid to power the "taro paste making machine".
The height of this bamboo trough for drinking water must be at least three times higher.
Without stopping, Zhang Liu ran down quickly after finishing the laying.
He planned to make the trip back and forth twice before nightfall.
