After a few more minutes to confirm that the bird had been killed, I went home and boiled water to feather its legs, and the bird was quite quite a meter long.

Even if it is related to feathers, its feathers are fluffy and large, but they are not small after removing the feathers, almost 30 catties in weight.

For me, it is difficult for many wild animals to break through the psychological defense to accept it in an unfamiliar situation, and even in such a living environment, many ingredients have not been favored by me!

But a big bird, especially a big bird that he hunted with his own hands, is not among them, because after plucking, its state seems to be no different from that of a chicken, and there is no feeling of disgust, and there is even a faint hint of expectation.

After all, this is probably the first time I have eaten the meat of a bird of prey, and so far, I have experienced all the pure wild ingredients that fly in the sky, swim in the sea, and run on the ground, and before I know it, I have completed one thing that many people want to do!

However, the result is not perfect, the meat of the sea eagle can only be regarded as average, older and more woody than chicken, but it is not unpalatable.

But it's good to get dozens of catties of meat in idle and boring, which is already a very cost-effective deal, barely worth half a sheep!

Most of the things in January were the same as in previous years, dealing with oil extraction, paper making, salt boiling, etc., and it continued until February.

The only thing to praise is to finally get the one thing you've always wanted, and that thing is "sugar".

The sugarcane is ripe, and the sugarcane that has been planted for nearly a year has always been my focus on it, and in order to get as many as possible, I have done my best to take care of the sugarcane, and I am also heartbroken for it.

It's just that there were less than 20 wild sugarcane when they were discovered, so no matter how big the scale is, it will not be so big, and it can't be described as many acres at all, because it is not qualified enough.

On the surface, there are still a lot of them, and there are almost a hundred of them.

A hundred or so roots is not too much, and if I use it to squeeze sugar, I am afraid that I will not be able to harvest much sugar, and it is not enough for my own appetite.

But there are a lot of words, and if you use it as a fruit, it is estimated that you will not be able to eat it until next summer, after all, it is impossible to do one a day, like eating and drinking water!

And the first thing I thought about was not the problem of sugar production, but to satisfy my appetite, watching the sugarcane grow day by day, if I hadn't been controlling myself, I am afraid that there would not be a few left in the field now.

When the sugarcane is completely ripe, there is no need to worry about the scale, and I can't suppress the desire to eat sugarcane......

After rushing to the ground and cutting down one, I sat on the ground without any image and began to gnaw on it, the sweet juice was unstoppable, and the long-lost taste returned!

Compared with professionally grown sugarcane, the sugarcane grown naturally here has no chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and it grows for a longer time, so the taste is naturally sweeter, and it is simply unbearable sweet.

Normally, excessive sweetness makes people feel tired, but I can't wait to be like this every day, and in six or seven years I have only a handful of opportunities to get sugar, only in coconut and a few fruits, and it is far from being so enjoyable as gnawing on sugar cane!

I ate almost a whole stick at once, and when my stomach swayed, I could hear the sound of water making a "squeak" inside before I stopped eating, and this time I finally enjoyed eating.

......

It's a pity that hundreds of sugarcanes are used entirely as a fruit, and the sugarcane will rot after the seeds are planted in the spring, so in order to better preserve and make it more useful, I am going to make a spice and snack --- sugar that has been lacking.

The main function of sugar is to provide heat energy, about 70% of the energy required by the human body is provided by sugar, and sugar is also an important substance that makes up tissues.

For so many years, I have always wanted to have sugar, which can not only make some foods more delicious, but also supplement some of the nutrients needed by the body, and can be used as food or snacks, more powerful than various vegetables and meat, and sugar can also make the body and mind happy!

So it's obvious that it's irreplaceable, and it makes me value sugarcane to a very high level.

Sugarcane can be made into most of the sugar we see in our daily life, and it is estimated that only brown sugar can be made under the existing conditions and methods, of course, my request is also very simple, just need a kind of sugar, and do not stick to which one, with your own personality must choose the simplest one.

When I think of brown sugar, the first thing that comes to mind is the glutinous rice balls I used to eat during the Chinese New Year, and the glutinous rice balls are wrapped in brown sugar.

I can't wait to get the substance "sugar", and I can't wait for a moment.

However, urgency does not mean blindness, considering that his efficiency is extremely low, he only cut twenty sugar canes for the first time and brought them home, and all of them cannot be processed in a short time, and the water in them will be wasted in vain.

The process of sugarcane sugar production is actually very simple, the process is similar to boiling salt, it is to boil the water and the last remaining substance is the sugar needed.

The only difficulty is to squeeze the sugarcane juice out of the sugarcane, and this step can not use the oil extraction tool, it is excluded in the first place, so if so many sugarcane have to keep moving stones to increase the weight to squeeze the juice, then I must be exhausted to death!

There is no very labor-saving way to think about it, and it is still necessary to rely on pure manual work to complete it slowly.

......

I chose to juice it on the table, which was cleaned and then peeled and cut into long strips thicker than my fingers so that it could be rolled over.

The second step was to find a 30-centimeter-long stake, a recently cut down wet tree, and the stake was sleek with the bark removed, resembling an oversized rolling pin.

The weight of twenty or thirty catties can completely squeeze the cut sugarcane out of water, even if the effect can only reach seventy percent of the squeezed out, in my opinion, the effect is also in line with expectations.

It is true that twenty sugarcanes squeeze out about thirty catties of sugarcane juice, and if they are all squeezed dry, they may be more than forty catties!

The next step is to filter out the residue and then boil it over high heat, which is the same process as boiling salt, but it is more exciting than boiling salt.

It was almost dark, and the clay pot under the fierce fire had been "gurgling" boiling, and it was obviously in the final stage at this moment, from the beginning of the clear water to the current paste.

The original method of brown sugar also has to add a small amount of lime to neutralize the acidity in the cane juice, but I can only choose alkaline plant ash, filter half a bowl of plant ash water in a clay pot, it is simply a universal plant ash!

You're about to get the long-awaited sugar, but the final step is also the most troublesome, requiring constant stirring to prevent it from scarring until it's time to get out of the pan.

It should be noted that it is not necessary to boil until it is dry, and it can be started when it basically reaches a relatively viscous state, otherwise it will only burn and cannot be eaten in the end.

The pasty syrup can be molded in various molds, but I didn't have the heart to carry the pot away and let it cool naturally in the pot.

Although I really wanted to wait until the brown sugar cooled down and solidified before going to bed, the black state of my eyes at night still forced me to get up the next morning and check again, which led to not sleeping well all night!

......

I got up in the morning more than twice as fast as usual, and I got up just after dawn, just to see if the brown sugar I made yesterday was successful.

The result is naturally unexpected, after all, it takes such a big battle to have a ghost if it doesn't succeed, and the solidified brown sugar is very hard, and in the end, the clay pot is turned upside down and then taken out of the whole piece.

However, compared to the initial juice of more than 30 catties, there is not much coagulated brown sugar, about four or five catties......

I am satisfied, but do not forget that there are still seventy or eighty sugar canes in the field, and if I were left with twenty for food and spring planting, there would still be fifty or sixty.

Pure natural sugarcane and pure handmade techniques, the final brown sugar taste is naturally not bad, not to say that it is endless, but it is also quite delicious!

In the next two days, I continued to squeeze brown sugar, harvesting nearly ten catties, and also making the total amount of brown sugar at home reach fifteen catties, which is completely sufficient for daily life, and even with brown sugar, I can try a lot of dishes that I was thinking about before, especially the taste of adding brown sugar to tortillas will definitely rise countless times!

And after the sugar cane was processed, the following days were dull again, and they were busy with trivial matters until the first two days.

Two days ago, the routine killing of sheep and chickens began, and the number of chickens was now nine, and I decided to slaughter two, and the same were two sheep, and the rest of the sheep dropped to eight.

The food has reached a relatively high level so far, basically reaching or approaching the living standard of modern society, and the poor aspect is only very obvious in the seasoning and staple food!

I have to sigh that the time spent on the desert island is not short, this is the seventh year on the island, and in the flick of a finger, I am also in my thirties.

Time flies, and it seems that nothing has been left, but it has taken away my youth and years!

......

In addition to a few days of rest after the year, we started planting this year's crops, which is simply to loosen the soil, and it was not completed until late March.

This year, the area of the field is much larger, with an area of five acres, and in addition to the stump that has been left behind, which occupies an area of more than one acre, it has also reached a staggering four acres!

In winter, I thought about compressing the area of sweet potatoes and corn to half an acre, but when I planted the seeds, I couldn't help but plan one and a half acres, which was the same as last year's area.

The rest of the crops are similar to previous years, and some have even declined due to the large amount of storage at home.

In addition, flax also has its own place, and half an acre of land is planted with flax, so I am a little anxious to get the material for making clothes as soon as possible!

In the winter, you can still use the old clothes and sheepskins that you used to have leftovers, but in the summer, the heat and sweating are not suitable for thicker clothing.
