Chapter 425 - The Best Natural Container

Because they were originally here to find water, everyone carried some containers with them.

Generally, they carry pure water bottles, beverage bottles, cans or cups on the island, ranging from 300 ml cans to 2,000 ml large pure water bottles.

Under Fang Jinyan's teaching, everyone collected the sap of the sugar dumpling tree one after another, and many people couldn't help but taste a few bites.

"It's so sweet! It's so cool! ”

"Yes, I was dying of thirst just now, this natural sugar water is like elixir fairy water to me!"

"Team leader, how did you know that these palm trees had this good thing in them?"

Before, they were not called the team leader, because everyone subconsciously didn't take this elected leader seriously, but now after going through so much, Fang Jinyan has established prestige in the group, so everyone naturally recognizes his identity as the team leader.

"yes, how do you recognize these as sugar browns at a glance? In my opinion, it's no different from other palm trees."

"I saw it on the Internet, because I am more interested in animals and plants, so I have seen a lot of information and photos, so I remember." Fang Jinyan explained.

"Then you have a really good memory, I actually like to watch it, but how can I remember so many strange animals and plants on the earth." Zhou Rong bent over and leaned over to drink the sap of the tree, and said with emotion.

Because she was distracted by talking, the milky white sap flowed down her face, and she completely ignored the image. Take your sleeve and wipe it off and continue drinking.

She's not a woman in normal times, but now at this moment. Who cares about that

After about half an hour, everyone was satisfied. And they filled all the containers they carried, with the sap of the trees.

At first, they couldn't wait to take a few sips, but after Fang Jinyan's reminder, they finally decided to fill the container first, and wait until all the containers were full before they drank to their heart's content.

"Team leader, should we tell these precious trees to the others?" Xu Xi wiped his mouth unsatisfied, and suddenly asked Fang Jinyan.

His expression was obviously not wanting to sue the others, and he wanted to monopolize the trees.

"Let's sue them. After all, these tree targets are too big to hide, and even if we don't say it, they will soon be discovered by other groups, and at that time, we may not even be able to compete for the qualification of the first discoverer, anyway, with the precedent of those banana trees, we will be able to enjoy a lot of distribution rights to them for a long time in the future. Fang Jinyan thought for a moment and said.

"The team leader is right, it's impossible for us to be exclusive, and it's a little too selfish. If the other groups are so selfish, then it may not be good for the whole team, and we must help each other and share resources. In this way, it can be better used to keep everyone alive. Zhou Ping said righteously.

Zhou Rong, who has always had a poisonous tongue, may have taken care of her cousin's face, so she didn't complain. Just pouted.

Zhu Qianqian said sarcastically without any concern: "You said it too well, if only everyone thought like you." I'm afraid that some people will say one thing and do one thing behind their backs. It's interesting to let others share resources, but you don't pull out a dime, right? ”

"There should be very few such people, I believe that most people here are relatively selfless." Zhou Ping was so angry that her face turned blue, but she couldn't fight back against Zhu Qianqian at all.

"Team leader, how long will it take for these saps to be harvested again?" Liu Yun felt that this kind of bickering was boring, so she asked Fang Jinyan another question.

"It takes at least half a month, preferably after a month, and if the cycle is too short, the amount of sap will come out very small, and it may threaten the survival of the sugar palm tree itself." Fang Jinyan replied.

"It's been such a long time, doesn't that mean that we have to take care of these saps for at least half a month?" Liu Yun said with some disappointment.

"No, it can't be managed for that long at all, in fact, it can only be managed for a day or two at most." Fang Jinyan shook his head and said.

"Why?!" Everyone was puzzled, and almost unanimously asked.

Because according to the amount they collect, it is okay to drink a little sparingly, at least for a week, especially if you have a 2000ml large bottle.

"That's right, these saps are organic matter, and the temperature here is not low, so it will deteriorate quickly, in fact, it can deteriorate in one night, saying that two days is already considering that everyone can tolerate a certain rancid taste, but if it is on the third day, you must not be able to drink, even if you can tolerate the taste, you may get sick if you drink it, and there is no doctor or medicine here, and it is very dangerous to get sick." Fang Jinyan replied.

"Can I extend the shelf life by sealing it?" Liu Yun asked again.

"How to seal? Do you mean to keep the cap a little tighter? Fang Jinyan glanced at her and asked.

"Well, fill the bottle a little more so there's no air in it." Liu Yun said with little confidence.

"This is theoretically possible, although there will still be bacteria that will ferment, but eventually it will turn into alcohol, there are many indigenous people in Sri Lanka who use the sap of the sugar palm tree to make wine, with their level can do it, I believe we can do it, but the problem is that we have very little sap now, and there are only a few containers, so we must open it at any time, so I am afraid it will not work" Fang Jinyan shook his head and said.

"We can find some plants to use as containers." Zhou Rong reminded.

"Yes, I've actually been looking for bamboo, bamboo is the best natural container, with it, we don't have to worry about having nothing to hold water and food, but unfortunately we haven't seen it," Fang Jinyan nodded and said.

"Bamboo is very common all over the world, and this island is not small, so you should be able to find it, right?" Xu Xi said.

"Not necessarily, bamboo is usually located next to freshwater streams, so if there is no fresh water on this island, it is almost impossible to have bamboo." Fang Jinyan said.

"If there was no fresh water on this island, then we probably wouldn't need to think about it, and we wouldn't be able to survive at all." Zhou Rong said a little frustratedly.

"Don't be discouraged, there must be fresh water on this island, but we haven't found it yet." Fang Jinyan replied.

"Why are you so sure?" Everyone asked puzzled.

"Because I have checked the quality of the soil here, it is not sandy soil, so the water after the rain does not seep directly into the ground, and in terms of vegetation here, the rainfall here is very sufficient, so as long as it does not seep into the ground, it will definitely form streams and even lakes."
