Chapter 48 Drying Sugar

"That's good!" Chu Wei also felt so, he looked at Mo Yi'er who was blushing, and smiled slightly, Mo Yi'er is easier to be shy, he has long been used to it, and he likes this kind of Mo Yi'er very much. "What's in this clay pot?"

"You'll find out in a moment." Mo Yi'er found the branch that is usually used to stir the soup, stirred the fruit paste and wood pulp, and boiled it on the fire, boiling it slowly over low heat, and asked for a little bit. By this time, the women had already made breakfast, and after they had finished breakfast, they reluctantly took the hunting men to hunt. Chu Wei glanced at the three hollow trees and decided to stay and listen to Mo Yi'er's dispatch. Besides, if his foot injury was not completely healed, Mo Yi'er would not agree to him hunting.

The jam boiled for another hour or so, and Mo Yier tasted it, and this time it tasted good. "Chu Ji, how about you taste it!"

Chu Wei smiled but opened her mouth, she didn't do it herself, Mo Yi'er had to use chopsticks to stand up and put some jam in his mouth, how to feed it like this, how to look at it and feel ambiguous, her face couldn't help but turn red again.

"It does taste good!" Chu Wei nodded with satisfaction, although he was saying that the jam tasted good, but that look seemed to be saying that Mo Yi'er was very good.

"Okay, okay, this can be eaten at night, let's study what to do with the wood pulp in this hollow tree! How did you find out it was hollow before? Didn't find any wood pulp in it? ”

Chu Wei shook his head and thought for a while before saying, "It's the old people who say that this is a hollow tree, and they also listen to the old people who died before." Besides, the branches that fall from the trees are hollow! ”

"I see!" Mo Yi'er was a little difficult, and wanted to make the water tank and bucket quickly, but these sweet wood pulp can't be wasted, what can I do?

While they were in trouble, Casa and two old men came out of the cave with several stone axes in their hands. "Mo Yi'er, the stone axe has been polished, and the next step is to make wooden bowls and chopsticks!"

"Good!" Mo Yi'er sprang up suddenly, took the stone axe handed over by Kasa, and polished it very smoothly, so that it would be much more convenient than a stone knife when cutting branches. Mo Yi'er explained to Kasa the specific shape of the wooden bowl and chopsticks, if possible, it is best to polish even the wooden plate, and then cut down some smaller hollow trees to make wooden pots and the like, daily necessities will become more and more abundant, and the clansmen will become more and more convenient to do things, saving time.

At this time, Chu Ji took a stone axe to help Kasa and them cut down the applicable branches, which made Man Ge very puzzled. "Chief, why don't you see wood?"

"There's a lot of useful wood pulp in the wood, so wait until it's used up to make buckets."

"That's it......" Kasa's eyes were still flashing with doubt, and Mo Yi'er smiled and got some wood pulp to taste Kasa. Cassa laughed: "I didn't expect that there was such delicious wood pulp in the hollow tree, just like honey." ”

"Yes!" At this time, humans already knew that honey was sweet, but because the bees were much larger and more lethal than the bees in the previous life, the people generally did not provoke difficult people like bees for honey. "Kasa, help me think about whether this wood pulp can be stored with something else, so that we can wait until we finish eating it before making buckets." Mo Yi'er couldn't help but ask Kasa for help, hoping that he would help think of some solutions.

However, Casa just shook his head, and he had no idea at all. Mo Yi'er was right to think about it, if there was a container that could hold wood pulp, she wouldn't have to go to great lengths to make water tanks and barrels.

"If only we could make salt like the Haim tribe did and store the wood pulp in powder." Chu Wei inadvertently interjected a sentence, and there was deep thought between his eyebrows.

"Salt...... Sugar...... Yes, yes, great, let me think again, think about it! Mo Yi'er suddenly thought that it would be nice if she could make wood pulp into white sugar or brown sugar. However, she really didn't know how to do it, so she could only try little by little. After thinking about it for about half an hour, Mo Yi'er found all the clay pots and stone pots, and asked Chu Ji to help, fill these clay pots and stone pots with wood pulp, put them on the bonfire, and boil them over low heat.

"Mo Yi'er, what is this going to do?" Chu Wei has been following aside, and when he doesn't understand, he will ask.

"Let's try to make this wood pulp into a powder like salt." Mo Yi'er said with a smile that the salt here is not too fine, but if this wood pulp can really be dried, it must be very fine.

"How? Let's do it together. ”

"I really have to come together, I can't be busy myself, so I'll call Xiao Rara." Mo Yi'er said, now that there are clay pots in the tribe, Kasa has also polished a lot of stone pots before, and she can't see it when she looks at the wood pulp without being boiled.

When Chu Ji heard this, he went to call Xiao Ra to come over, and they looked at the two stone pots and stirred them from time to time. It was a very patient exercise, but no one was impatient, and all three of them were looking forward to the results.

The wood pulp became more and more viscous, until it was so sticky that it was difficult to pull out the branches, Mo Yi'er asked them to stop, and poured the sticky wood pulp on top of the big lotus leaves, so that it would not be like water, directly streaming, but piled up there like a lump of rice cakes. It took them a whole day to come up with six small lumps of wood pulp, and now, they can call it syrup.

At night, Mo Yi'er took the syrup back to the cave, and took it out to the sun during the day. In this way, it took three days in a row for the wood pulp of the small hollow tree to be boiled. And Chu Wei's foot injury is also completely healed, and the women have already made a lot of silkworm cloth. is the same as Mo Yi'er, it is a long piece of cloth, and what kind of master can teach what kind of apprentice. The first batch of silkworm cloth has been sent to make bedding for Xiao Hei, after all, silkworm thread is better for children's skin than plush animal skin.

Chu Ji also began to work with Xiao Ra against the hollow tree that was completely empty. The hollow part of the saw is much easier than the bottom of the saw, and they have also mastered the skill of using a stone saw, and within an hour, a wooden barrel will be ready, Mo Yi'er asked them to fix the tree vine on the wooden barrel and make a handle, so that they can carry water back. Chu Wei tried it immediately, it was really super easy to use, and the clansmen all smiled happily, so many days were really not in vain.

At this time, Xiao Lara screamed in surprise on the side again. "Come and see, come and see, our syrup has turned to salt......"

"How can syrup turn into salt?" The people were extremely puzzled, and they had only seen a pile of syrup of syrup that they didn't know what it was, but they didn't think it would turn into something like salt.
