21, banana tree sap
Just now, when I was digging a pit with a wooden stick, I suddenly touched an object, the color of the object is light blue, the texture is soft, this is obviously a piece of plastic sheeting!
"There's something!!"
Zhao Yunxiang exclaimed, "It's a tarpaulin, a tarpaulin!!"
"Great, there's a tarpaulin!"
"Treasure, this is treasure!"
Zhao Yunxiang spoke incoherently excitedly, while Lin Yuxi stared at him strangely, just a plastic sheet, what is there to be happy about?
He knows more about tarpaulins, because Zhao Yunxiang's mother is in a market to set up stalls, and tarpaulins are always used in summer, one can shade the sun, and the other can shelter from the rain.
Tarps are very common in real life, and if a worn-out tarpaulin falls on the side of the road, most people won't pick it up because it's a piece of garbage.
But such garbage is an indispensable treasure on a desert island!
"It's a plastic sheet!"
The two pulled out the plastic sheeting together, and Lin Yuxi blinked his eyes and looked at the shabby plastic sheeting stained with sand.
Not only was the plastic sheet covered with damp sediment, but there were also some striped worms on it, and these guys wriggled on the plastic sheet like earthworms.
But it's not an earthworm, it's a sand silkworm!
"These earthworms are really disgusting!" Girls are afraid of these wriggling striped worms, and Lin Yuxi is no exception.
"These are not earthworms, but sand silkworms!" Zhao Yunxiang rolled his eyes and gave this scholar a popular science.
Lin Yuxi's homework is indeed good, but most of them can't be learned, and they belong to the kind of typical nerds who know textbook knowledge and are never involved in many unpopular books.
"Sand silkworms?" Lin Yuxi continued to say with a distorted face, "Can you eat this?"
If you want to eat this thing, it's like an earthworm, and I won't eat it if I kill it!
Xiao Nizi secretly swore in her heart that she would not try to eat insects, even if she starved to death!
"In a sense, sand silkworms, like earthworms, can be eaten, and it is said that the nutritional value is very high, and if the medicinal value is concerned, earthworms have the effect of lowering blood pressure and relieving fever, which is a kind of medicinal material!"
Zhao Yunxiang also has resistance to eating sand silkworms, this thing is similar to earthworms, one survives in salty cement soil, and the other survives in light cement soil, and ordinary people will not try the taste of this thing.
However, for the almighty Bei Ye, there is nothing that cannot be eaten, from small crustaceans to large zebras, he has tried to eat them raw, and he has also eaten bear feces, let alone earthworms.
If you ask Zhao Yunxiang who he admires the most in his life, one is Bell, and the other is Ripples of Water Moon (the author Tian smiled shamelessly...... )。
Put these sand silkworms into a plastic bottle, these worms look like there are a lot of them, but when they are integrated, there are only about two dozen of them.
After burying the dolphins, the two and a cat came to the shelter, which was a shady place for a summer resort, and the cool sea breeze blew the heat away in a short time.
The treasure in the shelter was hoarded, bottles and worn-out foam took up the majority, most of which was the torn tarpaulin, fishing nets, and tangled fishing line.
The stored fresh water has been completely depleted, and the two of them need at least 2 liters of water to replenish their body's needs at the end of the day, even if they consume it at a low rate, but after most of the day, they only drank 300 ml of water, and they were very thirsty at the moment.
"I'm so thirsty, I don't know when it's going to rain. Lin Yuxi stared at the huge sun, and her beautiful eyes were full of anticipation.
After two days on a desert island, I hardly found any fresh water to drink, and the seawater was naturally undrinkable, but rainwater was different, and it was pure fresh water that could be drunk directly.
"Don't put your hopes in the weather, I personally advocate self-reliance!" Zhao Yunxiang pulled up the trunk of the banana tree he had collected and walked towards the small tree on one side.
There is water in the banana tree, and this water can be drunk directly, and although it may taste a little unpleasant, it is definitely harmless fresh water.
There is bark in the shelter, and these are ropes that tie the root system of the banana tree, hang it from the trunk, make a hole in the top of the banana tree with a branch, and connect it with a bottle underneath.
The pale yellow banana sap flows out slowly, and only a small portion of the sap can be collected because the bottle mouth is too small, but this is not a problem, there are many materials for the shelter, and the banana leaves that are layered on top of each other are a good tool.
A funnel is made out of leaves, and the banana sap that flows out slowly can be preserved almost without leaking.
"Can you drink these?" Lin Yuxi looked at the slowly growing yellow liquid in the bottle in shock, and unconsciously licked his wrinkled lips.
It's also hard for this delicate girl, almost all day, she only drank less than 200 ml of water, and she was already thirsty at this time.
"Try it, it might taste a little weird, but this one really quenches your thirst. Zhao Yunxiang handed over most of the bottle of water and continued to fill another bottle.
The water in the banana tree is basically stored in the rhizome, so that it is hung up, the rhizome is facing the sky, and most of the water in the rhizome is above, and according to the gravitational force, most of the water in the rhizome can push the water out of the trunk.
This principle is like a funnel, a large hole accumulates a lot of water, and then flows out of the small hole, the water flows down by the action of gravity in the process of flowing, and then the water flow above will also form pressure on it, making the water flow accelerate.
After drinking a few sips of the water from the banana trunk, Lin Yuxi was relatively happy at first, because the water in the banana trunk basically had the same flavor as the banana, with a special fragrance and a hint of sweetness.
But after a few sips, it was not like that, first it was sweet, and then a strange dryness swept through the mouth, and the tongue instantly became tightly wrinkled, and even sticking out the tongue was a luxury.
"What is this?" Lin Yuxi stared at Zhao Yunxiang reproachfully.
"Fresh water, it's just that the taste is a little weird, didn't I tell you before......" Zhao Yunxiang was very helpless, the juice of the banana tree tasted like this.
This dry feeling comes and goes quickly, and the mouth returns to normal in just a few tens of seconds, and then continues to drink.
"It's hard to drink, but it can quench your thirst......" Lin Yuxi continued to take a sip and smacked his lips.
"Meow...... Meow~!"
It is said that cats are very curious, and Xiao Qi also wants to try the taste of banana tree juice, this little guy has just eaten a lot of roasted conch, and he will also be thirsty.
"Drink!"
Lin Yuxi loves Xiao Qi the most, she pours the banana tree sap into a bowl made of coconut shells, and lets Xiao Qi enjoy the weird pale yellow tree sap.
"Meow ......" After Xiao Qi took a sip, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was spitting out the cat's tongue vigorously, and scratching his little tongue with his little paws from time to time.
In this way, the two of them stuck out their tongues while drinking water, and drank the banana tree juice with difficulty.
There is a lot of garbage in the shelter, and the fishing nets and tarpaulins are very useful, and the tangled fishing lines are even more effective.
Next, you can use the fishing line to make a very lethal weapon!
