Ye Fu found a flat ground, lit the branches, and threw the pine cones into the fire.
Pine oil quickly burned on the pine cones, and a sizzling sound was heard. After a while, the scent of pine wood filled the air. Ye Fu and Wenwen sat on the ground, both staring at the pine cones in the fire seriously.
Burn the green pinecones until they turn black and then dig them out.
Ye Fu picked up a stone and smashed the pine cones flat. After the tower was loosened, he could break it open and the steaming fruit inside would fall out.
Ye Fu picked up one and threw it into his mouth, cracking the shell like a melon seed. The pulp inside was fragrant and sweet.
"Is it tasty?"
Wenwen nodded, "It's delicious, but it's not easy to open."
Ye Fu smiled, and the two finished eating the pine cones, then went to the pond to pick up the pheasants and skewered them on wooden sticks to bake.
"Sister Xiaoye, it's so fun to be with you."
"Really? Then you can eat more later, and we can have a picnic again when we have time."
"Hey, you two are so ungrateful. You're roasting pheasant here and you don't even call me."
Ye Fu and Wenwen turned around and saw Qi Yuan, and they sighed in unison.
"What do you mean? Why are you sighing when you see me? Look what I brought."
He stretched out his hand behind his back, and Ye Fu saw that he was holding two prepared fish, so he moved to let him sit down.
"I've seen you two sneaking into the woods a long time ago. Unexpectedly, you were actually cooking roast chicken. Okay, I have to join you."
He put the grilled fish on the fire and took out a ball wrapped in plastic wrap. When he opened it, he found that it was salt.
"It doesn't work without salt. How about you two just eat it?"
"Thank you, but aren't you harvesting wheat?" Ye Fu took the salt in his hand and sprinkled a little on the roasted chicken.
"Put it away."
"Where's Fang Wei?"
"She went to see her brother."
Qi Yuan looked left and right, but didn't see Jiang Run, "Isn't Jiang Run here?"
"He is at home and I have nothing to do, so I came out for a walk."
The roasted chicken was ready quickly. Ye Fu tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Wenwen. Although it was only sprinkled with salt, it tasted very good.
"It's getting hotter and hotter these days. I feel dizzy after being under the sun for half an hour."
Ye Fu nodded, "It is estimated that the temperature will continue to rise. I feel that this high temperature will last for a long time."
The three of them were eating when a few boys came over. When they saw the smoke, they thought there was a fire in the woods and hurried over. Unexpectedly, it was Ye Fu and the others who were having a picnic here.
"Doctor Ye, the wind is getting stronger and stronger now. When you leave later, you must put out the fire."
Ye Fu nodded, "I know, don't worry."
Several patrolling boys walked away with spears. Qi Yuan looked at their backs with some emotion.
"Wan Tao and the others are really good people." It is not easy to raise so many orphans into the young teenagers they are today.
Ye Fu also agreed, "I heard that they are organizing people to dig a few more cellars recently?"
"Yes, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and vegetables are not easy to preserve. They can't make them all into dried vegetables. So they suggested that they continue to dig cellars and preserve all the vegetables and grains. They are far-sighted, but they are also afraid of natural disasters.
Now, when you are stable, you should make plans for the future."
"It's good, you can dig it."
Qi Yuan sighed, "It would be great if there were sweet potatoes and potatoes. These things have a longer shelf life."
Ye Fu frowned but said nothing.
After the three of them had eaten and drank enough, they put out the fire with earth and went back to their homes. As soon as Ye Fugu entered the house, Jiang Run smelled the scent of meat on her body.
Jiang Run was a little aggrieved that Ye Fu went out to eat without him, but he didn't show it.
"Why have you been gone so long?"
"How long? Only two or three hours."
Jiang Run's eyes became even sadder, "Are you still going to eat tonight?"
"Don't eat, I'm full already."
Seeing his dangerous look, Ye Fu quickly tried to make up for himself, "I don't seem to be very full. I can eat some more."
Ye Fu turned on the tower fan to blow the air, went out and was sweating all over.
Seeing Jiang Run reading "Tiangong Kaiwu", Ye Fu walked over curiously.
"Aside from recipes, you seem to read this book the most."
"There are many useful things on it, including planting, weaving and silkworm breeding, cloth dyeing, salt and sugar boiling, bricks, tiles, ceramic firing, vehicle and ship building, metal forging, ore mining and firing, oil extraction, paper making,
Weapons manufacturing, pigments, distiller's yeast, gold and silver mining...Ye Fu, are you so good just because you read this book?"
This is a compliment to Ye Fu. She has never read "Tiangong Kaiwu". This book is her father's favorite book. Ye Fu naturally cherishes it, but rarely reads it for fear of damaging the paper.
The things she knows are all learned from school, and some of them are learned from watching various short videos and popular science from some bloggers.
But it is undeniable that "Tiangong Kaiwu" is indeed an amazing book.
"I know a lot, but I don't know much. What did you see?"
Jiang Run showed her the page, and it turned out that she saw well salt.
"Why are you working so hard all of a sudden?"
Jiang Run didn't know why. He just wanted to learn a lot of things and not let Ye Fu figure out these problems alone. In the future, he could be like her and easily solve any problems he encountered.
He didn't want the distance between him and Ye Fu to get wider and wider.
But he didn't know that in Ye Fu's heart, Jiang Run was already beyond ordinary people.
"As you said, explore what you don't know, keep growing, and always be proactive."
Ye Fu looked at him with a smile, "Why are you so obedient? Jiang Run, you are actually a robot, right? An obedient and well-behaved robot. "
"Probably not, I think I am a human being." He replied seriously.
After dinner, Ye Fu continued to help him make clothes. The exact same long-sleeved T-shirt became an incident. Ye Fu originally wanted to wear short-sleeved shirts, but he refused to do so.
Ye Fu thought about it and realized that if he was injured in front of others and the wound healed instantly, it might frighten others.
"Jiang Run, let's go chop down pine cones tomorrow. I can't climb trees, can you help me?"
Jiang Run curled up the corners of his lips calmly, "Of course."
Sure enough, Ye Fu still needs him.
"By the way, what Qi Yuan said today reminded me. I think we can plant some potatoes and sweet potatoes. The sweet potato leaves are delicious and you will definitely like them. There are also many ways to cook potatoes. They can be fried, served cold, or cooked in hot pot.
, and importantly, potatoes are high in carbohydrates.”
"What you actually want to say is, should I share it with everyone?"
Ye Fu snapped his fingers, "Smart, what do you think? Should I share it with everyone?"
"You can share it with Qi Yuan or Brother Song, and they will cover it for you."
