"Boiled?" Su Yi looked surprised and said, "How do you cook it?" What is boiling? ”

Mo Lan immediately explained: "It is to heat the water to the boiling point with fire, and then put the needle willow in it, boil it with bubbles, and after the needle willow absorbs a lot of water, it can become soft!" ”

"Heat water with a fire? It would take one night! And the animal skin bag is so small that it can't even fit a needle willow! ”

Su Yi frowned.

Mo Lan smiled and shook her head, "Instead of warming it with a water bag, just put the water directly in a heat-conducting container, then boil it with a fire, and then put it in the needle willow, so that it will work." ”

She knew that the drinking water in the Suri tribe was raw water, and only the frail elderly and children would use the warm water in the animal skin bag. And their warm water is too simple, that is, the animal skin bag containing the water is placed next to the campfire and roasted overnight, and it does not reach the boiling point at all. According to Mo Lan's guess, it would be good to be able to reach forty degrees!

Think about it, how can the tribesmen often drink this half-baked water, how can they not get sick?

"Thermally conductive containers? What is a thermally conductive container? ”

Su Yi was at a loss again.

"Well, it's a container that can transfer heat, such as a stone pot, there should be one in the tribe, right?"

Mo Lan gave a relatively simple example, she hadn't walked around the tribe much, and she hadn't seen any so-called pots and pans in the tribe.

However, there are many stones in this place, and since they have stone knives, they should also have stone pots.

"Stone pot? Yes, there is, but we never burn it with fire, we usually use it to hold snow water and berries. ”

Su Yi finally understood what Mo Lan was talking about.

"It's good to have it, Yimu, you go and ask someone to bring the stone pot over, I can try to cook needles."

"Okay, you wait, I'll order someone to carry it over."

Su Yi nodded, and immediately went out of the warehouse cave to call a few male orcs who stayed behind, and moved a bulky stone pot over.

"I'm going to move a few taller stones, and I'm going to have to put the pot up."

Mo Lan instructed a few orcs to set up the stone pot and put enough Yuli branches underneath.

"Alright, take some snow water and put it in, I'm going to prepare to boil water!"

Mo Lan said, lighting the Yuli branch with the reserved fire and starting to scorch the stone cauldron.

This stone pot is not too big, but it also allowed Mo Lan to boil for an hour to warm a pot of snow water, and when the snow water in the stone pot began to dense with small bubbles, and there was a faint curling smoke rising, Mo Lan finally let out a long breath!

All right! Finally it worked!

The stone pot didn't move for a long time just now, and she thought that the stone pot was too thick, so she couldn't boil the water at all! Now that I see water vapor appearing, I am finally relieved!

In addition to the excitement, she hurriedly increased the firepower, ready to boil the water in one go.

"Mo Lan, this, what is this? How can there be smoke? ”

Su Yi's eyes widened as he looked at the rising smoke in the stone cauldron, faintly, and it seemed that he could still hear the sizzling sound in the stone cauldron.

It scared Sue, she'd never seen anything like this before!

"Yimu, don't be afraid! This is not smoke, this is water vapor, it is water that is heated into gas, and then emitted into the air, which is harmless to the human body! ”

Seeing Su Yi's wary expression, Mo Lan hurriedly explained with a smile.

"Water vapor?" Su Yi couldn't help but reach out curiously, and touched the water vapor above the stone cauldron, only to feel a burning heat coming from his fingertips.

"Shhh

She screamed in fright and immediately retracted her fingers.

Mo Lan hurriedly asked, "Yimu, are you okay?" Don't touch that vapor! Beware of burning! ”

"How can this water vapor be so hot?" Sue asked curiously.

Mo Lan replied with a smile: "Because after the water is heated, the temperature rises, and when it becomes water vapor to a certain extent, its temperature remains unchanged in this process, and it is as hot as water." However, it quickly disappeared as soon as it was emitted into the air! ”

"Oh, I see." Sue nodded, and then understood.

As he spoke, the water in the stone pot finally boiled away with Mo Lan's unremitting efforts. Mo Lan was delighted, and immediately grabbed a handful of needle willow and put it in, then picked two clean Yuli branches and peeled them, made a pair of super large chopsticks, and stirred the needle willow in the pot.

After boiling for about a minute, the slender needles of the needle willow gradually softened, which surprised Mo Lan.

It seems that the little novel is right, this thing is really available!

Mo Lan then added heat and boiled for another three minutes, and the needle-shaped willow had become soft and silky, and even the needle-shaped leaves showed signs of stretching.

Mo Lan couldn't help but wonder, this needle willow is already thin enough, could it be that it can be divided into finer filaments?

So she continued to cook, observing as she cooked. From time to time, I picked up a needle willow and tried to tear it open.

At this time, the people in Cangdong gathered more and more, from the beginning there were only Suyi Xilu and two male orcs, and then most of the female orcs and most of the strong guards in the tribe all surrounded them curiously.

Cangdong was not small, but with so many people gathered, it became crowded and bustling for a while.

However, Mo Lan didn't pay attention to it so much, and at the moment all her energy was on the needles in the stone pot.

Sure enough, after boiling for ten minutes, the needle fillet was no longer soft, and it looked like a ball of thick thread. And each needle willow Mo Lan tried to tear the needle willow thread divided into three or four, and the toughness was also good, not as easy to break as before.

Looking at this situation, Mo Lan couldn't help but be overjoyed, great! This needle willow is really a good thing! After boiling, it is as soft as silk, and I don't know how many times stronger than the rough kudzu hemp!

Seeing Mo Lan's overjoyed appearance, Su Yi couldn't help but ask, "Mo Lan, how is it?" Is it done? ”

Mo Lan hurriedly smiled and replied, "It's done!" Imu, now we have new clothes to wear! ”

Su Yi walked over and took the needle willow in Mo Lan's hand and said with a surprised face: "I really can't imagine that this needle willow can become so soft!" But Mo Lan, there is no record of the method of making clothes in the holy scriptures of the wolf clan, how should this needle willow be made into clothes? ”

Mo Lan explained with a smile: "Well, you have to make the fabric of the needle willow thread first, then cut out the shape of the clothes, and finally sew the clothes with bone needles, that's it!" ”

"And how do you make the fabric?"

Su Yi couldn't wait to ask.

"This ......"

Mo Lan thought about it, and was really a little embarrassed.

Weaving cloth needs a loom, but there is not even a decent wood in this desert snow field, how to make a loom?

She frowned and sighed slightly, and then said: "We don't have that condition for weaving fine cloth for the time being, but we can still make coarse cloth by hand!" ”

"Hand cloth?" Sue asked puzzled.

Mo Lan nodded and said, "Yes, the needle and willow threads are woven into coarse cloth by the warp and weft knitting method, and they can still be used." It's just that the hand-made cloth is slower, but it can be made with simple tools. ”

"That's okay, in the future, except for the strong people who go out to hunt for food and are responsible for guarding, everyone else will devote themselves to weaving, and it should also be effective."

For new things, Su Yi has a lot of strength to accept and implement, so even though Mo Lan's method is not the best, she also supports it.
