The next step is firing and then putting it into use.
Turning his head to look at the girls around him, Zhang Liu felt a little emotional.
If you calculate the time, the five of them haven't sat around the earthen stove waiting for food for quite a while.
Eat in a hurry and then go to sleep immediately.
It has become a normal life situation for everyone these days.
But now the words suddenly have a different flavor, the flavor of life:
"Squeak..."
"Squeak..."
Xiang Wanying and Su Yan were chewing a palm core. As they had finished the honeycomb honey, they stopped roasting it over the fire. As a result, the fresh palm core made a crunching sound when they bit into their mouths.
It sounds very crispy and refreshing.
“Gah…Pooh…”
Although 99% of the bananas had been cut and mixed with bacon soup, they were fed to Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai.
But Anya also snatched the five greenest ones from the pig's mouth and prepared to eat them herself.
In her words, "These ones look so green, maybe they're as delicious as bananas!"
Faced with this enthusiasm, Zhang Liu and Xiang Wanying, who had tasted the flavor of bananas repeatedly, both shook their heads decisively. Although Lan Yueting and Su Yan accepted them, they put them aside and did not dare to eat them casually.
Anya didn't think much about it. She peeled the banana with a knife and bit into it.
Her expression, which originally contained some expectation, froze.
The astringent taste of the flesh is secondary. The seeds inside, which are like small stones, taste bitter when they are crushed.
With a frown on her face, Anya spit it out directly, then picked up the bamboo tube next to her and poured a mouthful of fresh water into her mouth to rinse it out.
But unfortunately, fresh water cannot remove the bitter taste on the tongue.
She could only awkwardly stick out her swollen tongue, hoping that this would make her feel a little better.
"Ah wu..."
Next to Anya who kept making “Puh-Puh” sounds, Lan Yueting was holding a nearly ripe papaya and putting it into her mouth.
Seeing the situation of her companion, she quickly pinched off a piece and put it into the other's mouth.
Anya's expression finally eased when she felt a little sweetness in her mouth.
Zhang Liu didn't pay attention to the girls' situation.
At present, he was looking at the four bamboo tubes that were being boiled in water in a small clay pot.
Since the rain, the taro flour has lost the chance to be dried.
As for drying it directly over fire, that is really not possible.
Because the taro powder that has not been dried will quickly turn into a grayish white, viscous, translucent liquid when exposed to high temperatures.
However, the precipitation and production of taro flour has never stopped. Eight bamboo tubes have been accumulated so far. Due to the lack of sunlight, everyone can only hope that it can be "dried in the shade".
But at the moment, Zhang Liu planned to boil them directly, then take them out, knead them into a ball and flatten them, wrap them with egg yolk fruit and tamarind pulp to make "taro dumplings", and fry them in lard.
Of course, this is the best plan.
If the taro dumplings fail to take shape in the end, they will become "taro balls".
After hearing how he prepared dinner, all the girls were full of anticipation. They did almost nothing else and just sat around the earthen stove with full concentration.
Here is the drawing of making a clay stove:
The bamboo tube inside the clay pot is always open.
The biggest advantage of this method is that you can see the changes in the "taro paste" most intuitively.
From white to gray, and then gradually become translucent.
This represents the maturity of the taro paste.
Zhang Liu poked the surface with a branch and found that it was already semi-solidified. He immediately took out the bamboo tube and put it aside.
The next step is to prepare the fruit pulp, which should be relatively simple.
Xiang Wanying and Lan Yueting brought back twelve egg yolk fruits, a bunch of tamarind, six papayas, and a whole bag of mint leaves during this trip.
Mint leaves with a special fragrance and papaya with a high juice content are obviously not suitable for adding to taro dumplings.
Then only the first two remain.
Take out three egg yolk fruits, peel them and remove the cores. Put the flesh into a bamboo tube and set aside.
Then add the tamarind pulp that has been processed by Xiang Wanying.
Zhang Liu shook his head and declined Anya's offer to come over and help.
Holding a bamboo joint that was slightly thinner than the bamboo tube, he began to fiddle with it up and down with force.
If Xiang Wanying hadn't been quick, Zhang Liu would have wanted to do the job of handling the tamarind himself.
Because this dinner was prepared for him to apologize to the four girls in front of him.
Chapter 451: Even if a good friend is having an affair, she will never forget to drag you along...
After fiddling with it for a while, Zhang Liu felt a little helpless because of the "baji, baji" sound coming from the bamboo tube in his hand.
Because such a sound indicates a high moisture content.
Although it is still unclear how thick the taro paste will be when boiled in water.
But if there is a lot of juicy stuffing inside, the scene will definitely be very "cruel" when it is fried. This is the tragic experience he learned from frying Yuanxiao for his two sisters before he got into trouble...
After a little thought, Zhang Liu quickly came up with a solution, which was to do it the same way as dealing with the soil... adding the fried taro powder.
With the slightly confused looks of the four girls around him, he stood up, picked up a bamboo tube of fried taro flour and walked to the fire.
“Zhang Liu…” Seeing this, Xiang Wanying swallowed the palm core in her mouth and said seriously, “What’s wrong?”
It was not until this moment that she suddenly realized that the expression of the boy in front of her seemed a little too serious. Looking at the changes in Zhang Liu's expression, Xiang Wanying began to recall what had happened today.
But no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Aren't you all working hard?
"Oh, the filling was too dry, so I added some taro powder to mix it up." Zhang Liu smiled and then explained.
Xiang Wanying opened her mouth slightly but said nothing.
As a woman who has used her mouth to create "negative distance" contact with the other person.
She could also initially grasp Zhang Liu's facial expressions, just like if she bit too hard before, his left cheek would twitch slightly, and if she bit too lightly, his eyebrows would wrinkle slightly...
At this moment, Xiang Wanying was very sure that the boy in front of her was in a "serious" state, so she didn't dare to say more without knowing the situation.
"This taro powder is what you will need when you explore the wilderness later..." Su Yan was beside Zhang Liu, and she couldn't even confirm his emotional changes through his micro-expressions.
So she immediately spoke out her concerns.
Hearing someone say that, Xiang Wanying nodded in agreement.
"Yes, it is indeed necessary to use it in the jungle, but it doesn't matter if I use a little now." Hearing the worry in Su Yan's tone, Zhang Liu smiled and explained, "According to my plan, it will only take eight days at most to cross this jungle. I currently have five bamboo tubes of taro powder. Even if I eat one tube a day, I will still have two bamboo tubes of meat floss left."
In fact, he also understood the value of food after entering the rainforest.
But at this moment, Zhang Liu understood more clearly how excessive what he had done to the girls in the past few days.
So he was mentally prepared.
That is, he would rather go hungry for a day and give the four people in front of him a good meal as compensation and apology.
"Okay...ok." After hearing the explanation, Su Yan nodded, and then her eyes began to reveal an expression of anticipation involuntarily.
Compared to Anya who hates the taste of fried taro noodles.
Su Yan, who had only dipped her finger in it a little bit before and tasted its sweetness, was quite satisfied with its taste.
After Zhang Liu said this.
An Yalan Yueting, who were originally planning to speak, also stopped talking.
Concentrating their attention, several people continued to watch the cooking process of the man in front of them.
Add one sixth of taro powder into the bamboo tube for filling. When Zhang Liu fiddles with the bamboo joints again, there will be no more "smacking" sound of juice.
After stirring it up and down for a while and making sure that the pulp and taro powder were completely integrated, he turned the bamboo tube upside down on the banana leaves that had been laid on the ground.
As Zhang Liu hit the bottom of the bamboo tube with the bamboo joint in his hand, making a "bang bang" sound, a large ball of fruit puree filling slowly came out from it and fell on the banana leaf.
Since the egg yolk fruit accounts for a relatively small proportion, the whole filling looks darker, just like chocolate or bean paste that has just been sticky together.
"Let me try..."
Anya is the type of person who dares to put anything into her mouth, so when faced with this almost black fruit puree filling, she simply dipped her finger in it, put it in her mouth and started to taste it.
Anya pursed her lips, feeling the taste bursting out in her mouth, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
The sweet and sour taste of tamarind and the sweet and sticky taste of lucuma have completely blended together.
The addition of taro powder improves their original mushy texture.
If she were asked to use an adjective, perhaps sweet bean paste would be fine.
"It's delicious! Yanyan, have a bite too!" Anya has always been willing to share good things with her friends.
Otherwise, he would not have brought his tool Zhang Liu, who was paid one thousand yuan per time, to serve Su Yan before the danger.
After eating the delicious food, she immediately scooped some with her fingers and put it to the mouth of her best friend beside her.
After sending it off, Anya looked at Zhang Liu with a little regret.
If they were alone, she would have delivered it to the other person's mouth.
Without hesitation, Su Yan opened her mouth and ate the fruit puree filling that Anya handed over. Then her clear eyes suddenly lit up, and an expression of uncontrollable joy appeared on her face. Then she exclaimed: "It's delicious!"
Seeing their two companions' reactions, Xiang Wanying and Lan Yueting couldn't help but pick up their usual bamboo chopsticks, picked up a piece and put it in their mouths.
Then, because of their nature of loving desserts, the four girls couldn’t stop eating, and in just a short while, half of the filling had been eaten.
Zhang Liu, who was staring at four bamboo tubes and thinking about how to make taro dumpling skins, had just finished thinking.
Then he turned around and saw this scene. He was stunned...
Noticing Zhang Liu's expression, Xiang Wanying was the first to put down her chopsticks.
She secretly glanced at the confused other person, and a guilty expression immediately appeared on her face, as if to say, "I know this is wrong, but I just can't help it."
Xiang Wanying's actions were also noticed by the other three girls who were enjoying the meal.
Realizing that they might have eaten the filling, they quickly put down their chopsticks.
Feeling that the filling was a little asymmetrical, Anya hesitated for a few seconds, and suddenly she developed obsessive-compulsive disorder and quickly picked up the chopsticks and put another big lump of it into her mouth.
Although it is still a bit asymmetrical...
But under the gaze of the other three girls, Anya was too embarrassed to take action no matter how thick-skinned she was.
He could only whisper: "Zhang Liu, this is delicious, you should have a bite too..."
Hearing Anya trying to pull Zhang Liu down in such a situation, Xiang Wanying couldn't help but show some admiration in her eyes...
"It's okay, you guys continue eating. I'll make some more after you finish. There are still plenty of tamarind and egg yolk fruit." Zhang Liu looked at the four girls' faces with the same expression of "I'm so sorry, I ate it secretly."
He couldn't help laughing and said, "Everyone should relax tonight."
……………………This is the dividing line.
Sorry, sorry, this is the earthen stove drawing that I forgot to add in the previous chapter.

Chapter 452: I am about to cry...
After hearing Zhang Liu's words, the four girls decisively began to taste the rare dessert in front of them.
In fact, they all want to feed the boys in front of them individually.
