Chapter 101: On Fire

The thunderstorm came suddenly, and it was raining heavily.

Xu Yi was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Lu Kegang to say that the thunderstorm would come.

After taking a shower, the rain continued to fall.

"It's time to eat. Lu Ke brought the hot water to the table and poured it into the cup.

"Sit down, the height of this stool is more suitable for you. Xu Yi said a word and walked to the table.

If it goes well, he'll be able to make another stool today.

After dinner, Lu Ke and Xu Yi put the grapes into the clay pot together.

"Xu Yi, don't you need to add anything else, just mash the grapes like this, and then it's okay?" Lu Ke put the grapes into the clay pot and asked with some doubts.

After all, she hadn't made wine before, and she didn't know what the specific steps were.

"Yes, the white substance on the grape skin is the natural fermentation substance. Xu Yi explained, and then rubbed the grapes with his hands.

"You can't fill it up, and you need to have some space on it, because fermentation produces gas. Xu Yi continued.

Inside the three clay pots, there are a lot of grape juices.

However, there are still a lot of grapes left.

After all, the size of the clay pot is limited, and it can't hold so many grapes.

Once all the grapes have been crumbled, cover them and let them ferment on their own.

When the grapes have faded in color, the fermented must can be fermented for a second time.

Normally, the first fermentation takes a week or two.

The speed is related to the fermentation material, temperature, and even the equipment.

Normally, the temperature at which wine is made is between 25 and 32 °C.

Producing your own wine is prone to excessive methanol, that is, the temperature is not well controlled, and the grapes are not fermented well at all. Another is that edible grapes are not suitable for winemaking because they have a lower tannin content.

Xu Yi uses mountain grapes, which have more tannins and a lot of white substances in grape skins. In terms of fermentation, there is absolutely no problem.

After finishing the grapes, Xu Yi moved the three clay pots back to the room.

Then, he took out the back basket containing the rabbit.

There was some smell in the room, and I had to move out.

It was fine when there was only one rabbit, but now there are 4 more rabbits, and the smell is a bit bigger.

Therefore, it is also necessary to circle a place to engage in breeding.

Xu Yi had already planned to fence it off next to the toilet to raise rabbits or other animals.

He plans to set up more traps in the woods so that he can catch some animals.

The meat is still fresh and delicious.

"Xu Yi, have the chicks hatched?" Lu Ke asked as he played with the thatch sheets. With a stool, she didn't have to sit on a cold stone.

"There's no movement yet. Xu Yi glanced at it and didn't touch it with his hands.

"Oh, I thought it hatched. Lu Ke said, she thought that after hatching the chicks, Xu Yi took the back basket out of the house.

"No, it's a bit big now, and it's not suitable for the house. Tomorrow, I'll come out and raise it in a place next to the toilet. Xu Yi gestured, after all, the place is too small and it is not easy to manage, and when there are more animals, it will have to be rebuilt, so it is better to make it bigger.

Although it takes more time and physical effort now, it can save more trouble by doing it all at once.

Lu Ke nodded, she also felt that the smell in the room was a little too big.

Fortunately, now there are greenhouses outside, so I don't have to worry about the rabbits being caught in the rain after moving out.

Then, Xu Yi began to make stools.

After Lu Ke finished the thatch, he opened the earthen kiln.

"How is it, it's not broken, right?" Xu Yi asked casually, he knew that Lu Ke had made a squatting toilet, and he didn't know if this squatting toilet had been burned out.

"No, it's all good. Lu Ke responded, although it is not broken, but cracks may appear, so it still needs to be tested with water.

"That's good, I'm still worried about the direct shattering. After Xu Yi finished speaking, he looked outside.

The rain stopped.

Still, there were a few thunderbolts from time to time.

Lu Ke filled the pottery with water, then came over and took a few stones from the fire, ready to use it to boil water for bathing.

After a sentence, Xu Yi heard Lu Ke's very surprised voice: "Xu Yi, is there a fire over there?"

Xu Yi stood up and took a look.

Far away, there was indeed a fire, and it seemed that the fire was not small.

"Yes, I guess it was burned by lightning, and it's far from us. Xu Yi said without too much worry.

After all, the nearby trees were all cut down by him, and the range was not small, it really burned to this vicinity, and he and Lu Ke also had time to escape.

In addition, the distance is really far away, so you can't see that there is a fire over there, so you have to take Lu Ke and flee to the beach. Deep forest fires are not so easy to form, so there is no need to worry too much.

"It shouldn't burn us here, right?" Lu Ke asked as he drenched his hair.

"No, it's a long way away, and if it really burns, it's estimated that it will be tomorrow. Don't worry, it's really burning near us, and we'll have time to escape to the beach. Xu Yi comforted, then turned his head and went back to dig the hole in the stool.

After a while, Lu Ke washed it out.

She sat by the fire and dried her hair, watching Xu Yi at work.

After a while, Lu Ke took the initiative to say, "Xu Yi, I'll go to bed first, and you can come and rest early." ”

Today, her stomach is a little uncomfortable, and her menstrual period is coming to an end.

"Well, you know, you sleep. Xu Yi nodded and didn't ask anything more.

Although, it's only past nine o'clock, much earlier than her usual rest.

He continued to make stools without stopping.

It wasn't until 11 o'clock that he stopped what he was doing.

glanced at the room, and then Xu Yi said in his mind: System, punch in.

After all, today is the 23rd day of their arrival in the wilderness, which also means that he has clocked in for another seven days.

What will his seven-day gift package be?

"Ding, check in for 7 days and get a beginner pack. ”

Hearing this voice, Xu Yi continued to pick up the dagger and began to dig the last hole.

When digging, I silently said in my mind: system, open the gift package.

"Ding, get the Climbing Skills Pack (Beginner)!"

"Ding, get the Archery Skills Pack (Beginner)!"

Climbing tips?

Xu Yi thinks it's still very good, after all, you need to climb trees to pick some fruits.

It's impossible, every time you need something from a tree, you cut down the tree, right?
