Chapter 49: Trumpet

The new trumpet doubled the spirit of the workers, and the peppercorns shouted in front of them, and the workers and ants said in the back.

"Push the sugar cane home......"

"Hey~zol~"

"Sugarcane goes home and eats candy......"

"Hey~ya~zol~"

"Hey~That sweet yo ......"

"Hey~a~zolhuo~"

"Brother, work hard......"

"Huh~er~ya~er~work~"

......

Xiao Ran looked at these working worker ants, and he actually missed those people by the river, those who worked. I don't know how long it has been since this kind of labor chant has been chanted in this village where I once lived, when people sang about the sunrise, to the sunset, to the scorching sun, to the torrential rain.

This kind of trumpet is very simple, one ant shouts, and the other ants respond to it, forming a complete trumpet. The ants who shout the trumpet do not need specific words and sentences, they all rely on their own play, and the slogan of the ants who should be called is a fixed four sentences, and after shouting, the first sentence is repeated.

Looking at these numbers, Xiao Ran's mood was much better than when he just saw "one, two, one, two", because one, two, one, two, two reminded him of military training, although he studied well, but he was always easy to share hands and feet in military training.

The rolling sugar cane has left deep marks on the ground, and the grass in autumn has withered and yellowed, and the grass that stands in the way has been trampled down. When passing through the border between the Land of the Dead and the Artemisia Empire, a lot of dwarf grass was crushed. Xiao Ran always felt that the Artemisia Empire had a pair of eyes staring at the team, so he asked Jiuli Xiang to break away from the transportation team and go to quickly reconnoitre.

In this transport, both the scout ants and the spear ants joined the transport team, and only then did Xiao Ran feel that he was a little risky. Although the Grandmaster could count the ants with one enemy, the Grandmaster did not participate in this transportation, but meditated and rested in the anti-sperm cave.

Jiulixiang quickly reported that it was the worker ants of the Artemisia Empire who were doing the final harvest, and there was not much food in the Artemisia Jungle, and the Artemisia grass was also withering faster, so it was their normal activity to harvest at this time.

Fortunately, there was no danger, and Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief. After two hours of transportation, the three sections of sugar cane were finally transported to the enamel stove. The Grandmaster heard that there was a new food to be made, and he waited here early.

Xiao Ran thought to himself, the normal procedure was to press the sugarcane into sugarcane juice, and then use the sugarcane juice to boil it into sugar. But now the small body, not to mention the squeezing of sugarcane, the crushing of sugarcane worker ants is almost the same.

Therefore, he decided to boil the sugar cane directly in water to boil the sugar inside, and then use the boiled water to boil the sugar. This kind of boiling may not be highly utilized, but it can only be done at present.

The No. 2 kerosene stove, the new enamel stove, the kerosene lamp plus the water tank and the enamel bowl, is specially used to cook food. The enamel is baked at three heights, the kerosene lighter is at the lowest, almost the same as the ground in the sea buckthorn heath, and the enamel pot is at the second height, and between the second height and the first height, there is a slope 6 cm wide and an angle of less than 30 degrees, which is specially used to transport food.

The third height is the top of the water tank, and the third height is also connected to the second height by a slope of less than 30 degrees, which is convenient for transporting morning dew upwards. Although Xiao Ran is thinking of a way to collect morning dew automatically, at present, it can only be transported by worker ants, collecting morning dew drop by drop.

After going up the slope, it was covered with clean toon leaves, and Xiao Ran thought about burning bricks to burn paper on the slope into a blank, but now, there are no such conditions.

After the sugarcane was transported to the second height, Xiao Ran carefully checked the sugarcane for dirty places. After confirming that the sugar cane was indeed free of any stains, Xiao Ran ordered that the two sections of the first sugar cane be tied with needles and threads, and then pushed the enamel pot forward.

Bang!

The first section of sugarcane was pushed by the workers and rolled into the enamel bowl with a bang. The ants were frightened, for they were afraid that the enamel pot would be crushed by the sugar cane.

Next, Xiao Ran asked the worker ants to add morning dew to the enamel pot until the sugar cane was completely submerged. After this pot of morning dew was added, almost half of the water in the tank was used.

"Make a fire!"

Laugh at!

A match was struck, and a kerosene lighter was lit, and a yellow flame rose.

The workers were obviously tired from the long journey. They were all waiting neatly in front of the enamel stove.

Grunt.

After about ten minutes, bubbles began to bubble in the enamel pot, and after a few moments, the morning dew in the pot began to boil. Whether it can be done or not depends on this time.

Gollum!

Xiao Ran checked the water level in the pot at any time, and as long as the water level was low, he asked the worker ants to add water to the pot.

The kerosene lighter did not have much firepower, and Xiao Ran waited for two hours before turning off the kerosene lighter. The use of kerosene lighters in this way is very fuel-intensive, so if you burn twice, you have to add kerosene once. Fortunately, there are a lot of kerosene reserves in the old house, and Xiao Ran is not worried about the use of kerosene.

Gollum!

......

After the lighter was turned off, after a few moments, the morning dew in the enamel pot stopped boiling. A meal of boiling has made the water tank bottom.

Xiao Ran instructed the ants to pull the needle and thread and pull the boiled sugar cane onto the stove. But the boiled sugarcane seems to be heavier, and it used to be rolled sugarcane, but now it has to be added directly, and the workers and the Shi brothers worked very hard to pull the sugarcane to the edge of the enamel pot. Just one card on the edge, the worker ants used the strength to eat, and they could no longer pull out half a point.

"Stop. Xiao Ran said.

The worker ants listened to Xiao Ran's order and let go of the needle and thread.

Poof.

The sugar cane slides to the bottom of the pan again.

At this time, the grandmaster stepped forward, looked at the sugar cane in the pot, and said, "Even with the strength of the old man, he can't pull out such a huge thing." ”

"Ah, can't the Grandmaster solve it......" said a worker ant.

"Huh? How can we solve a problem that the Grandmaster can't solve. Another worker ant said.

"Yes, yes, the sugar cane is so huge, what should I do with the ants. Another worker ant said.

"Yes, yes, I think, let's give up, even if there is no sugar, it's still thatch berry jam. "And a worker ant.

"No, no, what can you do with sugar, the berries can't be mashed, and it's not sauce," the first worker ant said.

"The Prime Minister hasn't spoken yet. Another worker ant said again.

After the worker ant finished speaking, all the worker ants looked at Xiao Ran.

This sister, the problem that can't be solved, all look at me, Xiao Ran felt a burst of alpacas running over in his heart.

"Ahem...... the wizard stood up, "If I also have the power of a grandmaster, maybe I can join forces with the grandmaster." ”

By the way, those mythological dramas, the levers commonly used in time-traveling dramas, can really be used! Xiao Ran suddenly became excited.

He first had the workers hit a stick about 25 centimeters long, and then he had the workers dig a hole at the third height, just enough to jam the long stick, and one end of the stick was tied to a rope from the sugar cane.

The other end is tied with two round stones, which are pebbles with a smooth surface and great density. The two pebbles were found by the workers and allowed the Shi brothers to push from the sea buckthorn wasteland to the second height.

After everything was prepared, the Shi brothers pushed the two stones to the first height. The lever worked, and in an instant it pulled the cane up.
