After building the kiln, Ye Yan took Mo Qing with him and prepared for the next step. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The sea breeze blows, the leaves sway, and time ticks. The air was slightly distorted by the sun, mixed with the incense of various plants and trees, forming a unique smell, and it seemed that there was no taste at all, it was a taste that made people's hearts throb, and it only belonged to the country of the south.

Ye Yan cut several pieces of bamboo, the thickest of the bamboo, about 9 centimeters in diameter and 10 centimeters high, with a total of 4 sections. Dig out one of the bamboo walls, and use a knife to cut the edges flat and round, this is the bamboo cup that Ye Yan liked to use when he was a child. Natural, convenient and fast.

It's just that grandpa will also carve some patterns on the bamboo cup, including dragon tigers and leopards, birds, or plum orchids, bamboo chrysanthemums, etc., which are very beautiful.

According to the formula for the area of the circle, the area of this cup is about 63.6 square centimeters, and multiplied by the height, the capacity of this cup is 636 milliliters, which is 636 grams of water.

Then Ye Yan cut off some slightly larger bamboo joints, cut them into small lids about 5 cm high with a bottom, and then thinned out the bamboo walls inside along the opening, this step requires patience and care, and if the water is too thin, the water will leak out.

That's right, Ye Yan wants to make a portable water storage bottle. Bamboo is an almost all-purpose tool, and this kind of water bottle made of bamboo can often be seen on television. However, the seal was sealed with a wooden stopper, and Ye Yan did not have such a thing by his side. You can only try the method of using bamboo to cover bamboo.

Ye Yan carefully peeled off the bamboo wall little by little with the tip of the knife, but he did not peel off all the circles around the edge, but left 6 small raised horizontal strips, and the corresponding bamboo cup mouth also had corresponding depressions, so as to make it more stable.

This step took Ye Yan about half an hour, so that the 4 bamboo tubes had corresponding lids.

Ye Yan ran to the beach, filled the sea water with this bamboo tube, and then closed the lid, reversed and tilted over, except for a little water overflow, it was not a big problem, and now he could carry an emergency water source on his body.

gave two to Mo Qing, took them with him and prepared to set off to explore the forest.

……

Ye Yan first went to the water source, filled a few bamboo tubes with water, and hung them on his body with a rope, which looked a little funny, but it could save his life at some moments.

Ye Yan looked around, the trees were entangled with each other, and the shadows were full of shadows, he glanced at the camera and said, "This island is blessed, half of it is earth and half of it is rock, but most of the rocks are hidden underneath. As for the clay, we've found it, and you can see it's not far from the water intake, and the soil is darker. ”

Mo Qing also added: "We can also look for edible carbohydrates on the island, right?" ”

Ye Yan snapped his fingers: "That's right, if we're lucky, we should be able to find a plant similar to Alocasia on this island, but it's edible." ”

The soil on tropical islands is mostly laterite, which is formed by the weathering of carbonates or other rocks rich in iron and aluminum oxides under hot and humid climate conditions, and is generally brownish-red, with high moisture content, low density, high strength and low compressibility.

It's not a good material for making clay ware, but it's good for growing citrus. Fortunately, the soil on this island is darker, and only a few places have red soil, so I don't know if it's because of the abundance of trees.

At present, the kiln needs to rest for a while, and Ye Yan plans to look for usable plants on the island first, otherwise coconuts alone will not be enough.

Along the stone wall, go to the left, the right has been explored, is the east side of the island.

One by one, the big trees broke through the ground, climbed along the stone wall, and held up a huge green umbrella in the sky overhead, the branches and leaves were blown by the sea breeze, the sun poured, the shadows of the trees swayed, and the mottled shadows cast on the ground seemed to move.

Ye Yan likes to see the shadow of the tree projected on the ground, and he also likes summer, everything makes him feel deeply intoxicated, this is a feeling that cannot be communicated, cannot be spoken, and only belongs to him.

"Rustling ......"

The shoes slid on the fallen leaves, the light and shadow staggered on Mo Qing's cheeks, she wore a green palm-leaf straw hat, a small white flower pinned to one side, her long hair poured down, jumping in the forest, like a lost elf.

Ye Yan glanced at her and couldn't help but smile, as if there was a faint fragrance floating between her noses.

It's been more than twenty minutes since he walked, Ye Yan opened the bamboo tube, took a sip of water, wiped the sweat on his forehead, Eagle Eye opened, there were no more cheetahs around, only some fresh wild boar footprints emitted a faint red light, Eagle Eye subconsciously designated it as prey, but it won't take long for the red light of these footprints to dissipate.

Ye Yan didn't want to kill a wild boar anymore, the meat of the cheetah was enough for the time being, and he didn't want to eat jerky all the time.

Suddenly, Mo Qing stretched out a green jade finger: "Ye Yan, look, there seems to be something there!"

Ye Yan subconsciously looked in the direction of Mo Qing's finger, and sure enough, in a relatively sparsely populated place in front of him, it was a clearing of red soil, with a few plants growing on it, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.

The plants had long sheath-like petioles, a faint purple color where they joined the leaves, and the leaves clustered at the top of the stem. The leaves seem to have an oval-shaped halberd-shaped appearance, or rather a misshapen heart. Thick dark green veins are all over it, and the leaves are smooth, and Ye Yan can be sure that this is some kind of edible taro plant of the Araceae family.

Ye Yan is sure that this will definitely not be Alocasia.

Alocasia actually has an extremely obvious difference from edible taro, and that is the leaves. The surface of the leaves of Alocasia is undulating like a mountain range, and it is particularly large. Edible taro leaves, on the other hand, are smooth and do not have flowers like Alocasia.

Ye Yan walked up to these plants, he rubbed the leaves with his hand, and said, "You see, the leaves of this plant are very smooth, unlike the kind of alocasia that is constantly undulating, I think there should be friends in the south who have seen taro." The taro looks the same as these, and I'm not sure what kind of taro it is, but it looks similar to the normal taro, so I think I can eat it. ”

"To be reasonable, the last time I saw Deye, he also ate such taro, anyway, there was nothing at all, that is, he ate the leaves raw, and 2333 was poisoned. ”

"Basically all plants in the Araceae family are poisonous. ”

"The leaves of this plant have alkaloids, and if you eat too much, you will be poisoned, and you will generally have symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, and dehydration, and you need to cook before you can eat it. ”

"It's all big guys, so I'll just watch the live broadcast quietly. ”

……

Ye Yan picked up a piece of dead wood from the ground, sharpened one end, used it to break the floor, and then dug the soil. Ye Yan was a little depressed, he should try to make a wooden shovel.

After digging for a full ten minutes, finally all these taro plants were turned out of the ground, Ye Yan counted, there were a total of 30 taro pieces of large and small, but they were not very big, and the largest was only a little bigger than a fist, and it should not grow long.

However, tropical taro is very prolific, unlike ZG South, where there is only one taro tree, although it is very large. These tropical taro, with a little fertilizer and time, should be about the same as those on the mainland.

Anyway, Ye Yan smiled, after all, it was not in vain, these can be eaten half, half left, and carefully managed in the future, it should be able to cultivate a taro forest.

I found some materials on the spot, cut two banana leaves, wrapped the taro, and Ye Yan tied the banana leaves with a piece of rope, so that it was a simple package.

Ye Yan stood up, but his sword eyebrows suddenly raised, and there seemed to be something strange in the grass over there.
