During lunch, the sun had already set more than half way to the west. Yun Buliu estimated that it would be around three or four in the afternoon. After eating now, there was no need to eat dinner.
But since he came to this world, he has never cooked a midnight snack. Maybe he can try steamed pork with honey powder as a midnight snack.
When dividing the meat, Yun Buliu also gave the little tiger cub a big piece, but the amount was not big, almost the same as that of a little fur ball. However, the little fur ball could eat it until its belly was round, but the little tiger cub could not.
However, compared to when I was given nothing in the morning, now that I could give it a piece, it felt much better and the look of resentment on its face was much less.
Yun Buliu used another wooden box to put a piece of meat in and put it aside. This was for the monkeys.
Thinking of the monkey, Yun Buliu also thought of making a golden hoop for it.
Yun Buliu originally wanted to give it a shot after lunch, but after thinking about it, he had to give up. If the crocodile claw meat is cold, it will not taste good.
If it didn't taste good, would the monkey still give him fruit wine?
So after lunch, Yun Buliu took the tiger cub and the little fur ball and headed to the orchard.
Xiao Tuanzi may have cried too much today and was a little tired. After playing with the little fur ball for a while, he lay down on the giant wooden pile and fell asleep.
After feeling the delicious taste of 'Honey Steamed Dragon Claw', the monkey's eyes couldn't help but shine, and he was still licking his paw, looking at Yun Buliu, as if he wanted to have another piece.
Unfortunately, Yun Buliu didn't care whether it understood or not, and said to himself: "You need fruit wine to cook this thing. Brother Monkey needs to give me a few more tubes of fruit wine."
He said, pointing to the bamboo tube in his hand.
The monkey is indeed very smart. I don't know if it really understood it or if it understood the meaning of Yun Buliu's movements, so he sent the monkey to bring down five bamboo tubes.
Seeing these five tubes of fruit wine, Yun Buliu laughed. It's a pity that the monkey is not a beauty.
After having a friendly exchange with the monkey for a while, after the monkey finished eating the meat, Yun Buliu put away the food box, picked a few green tangerines to use as lemons, then touched the monkey's head and said goodbye to the monkey.
Returning to the small bamboo house by the lake, Yun Buliu sent the five tubes of fruit wine to the ice cellar, then ran to the blacksmith room, picked out an iron bar, threw it into the blacksmith furnace, and added charcoal to light it.
When he said goodbye to the monkey before, he touched the monkey's head to measure how big the monkey's head was and how big a golden hoop it could hold up.
He planned to make a gold hoop for it to wear, thinking it would look more handsome.
The gold hoop was made smoothly, but the coloring was more troublesome. After all, the iron bar is not gold. Even if it is hardened, it cannot turn into gold.
And even if you use some grass juice to dye it, it will still fade over time.
But in the end, Yun Buliu had no better option, so he decided to dye it with grass juice. If it faded by then, he could just dye it again.
After building the golden hoop, Yun Buliu started planting sugar cane again.
At night, he used his spiritual thoughts to guide the free wood energy between heaven and earth and inject it into the sugar cane seedlings to help them grow faster.
When I got up the next day and went to the garden, I saw that the sugarcane seedlings that were originally wilted had returned to healthy growth, as if they had been planted for several days, had taken root, and had no problem with nutrient supply, which reassured Yun Buliu.
Quite a few.
In this green area, even though it is surrounded by mountains and forests, there is still plenty of sunlight throughout the day.
Since sugar cane can grow on that grassland, it should also be able to grow on this green patch of grass.
After checking the other crops in the vegetable garden, Yun Buliu began a day of practice.
The passage behind the grove has become longer and longer, and he has almost opened up the grove. The only drawback may be that he needs to spend more effort to level the road and dig a ditch next to it.
, otherwise when the rain comes, the mud road will definitely be very muddy.
But there’s no need to rush this matter, it’s okay to do it again when you have time.
The most urgent task is to squeeze the unripe sugar cane into juice.
Squeezing juice is not an easy task. It requires some tools. Wringing it by hand is definitely not possible. The sugar cane is too brittle and will break as soon as you twist it.
However, juicing can also be very simple. You can use two bamboos to make a simple clamp, although the speed of juicing will be very slow.
He washed the sugar cane, then tied two bamboo poles more than one meter long together to make a simple clamp, and then washed a piece of deer skin and a large wooden basin.
First use simple bamboo clamps to crush the sugar cane, squeeze out the sugar cane juice and drip it into a wooden basin, and then place the sugar cane residue on the smooth side of the deerskin.
In this way, after there was a small pile of sugarcane residue, he rolled up the deerskin and twisted it hard, and he saw the remaining sugarcane sweat flowing out from one end of the deerskin.
After working for a long time, in the afternoon, he finally squeezed all the sugar cane into juice.
As he imagined, he didn't get much sugarcane juice. If these sugarcanes were all mature, he would definitely be able to get at least one basin of juice.
But now, there was only half a pot. He took a wooden spoon and took a spoonful of the juice to taste it. The sweetness was there, but it was obviously not as sweet as the sugar cane he had eaten before.
If it is boiled into sugar, it is estimated that the quality of the brown sugar obtained may be much worse.
But no matter what, it's good to get a little brown sugar.
Although brown sugar and honey are both sweet, they are different after all. Honey cannot be used as sugar. If it is really used as sugar, it would be a waste of natural wild honey.
Put the obtained sugar cane juice into a large pot that has been scalded with hot water and washed to remove the grease, and then add firewood to the large pot.
Feeling that his hands were sticky, Yun Buliu grabbed a handful of plant ashes and ran to wash his hands.
While washing, he couldn't help but have a flash of inspiration and thought of something.
In fact, there is no need to use plant ash to wash away the sugar juice in his hands, but when he usually washes away the grease in his hands, he will habitually grab a handful of plant ash.
Cleaning grease with plant ash is a common method used by rural people.
He had been thinking about how to make soap before, but now when he thought about it, he suddenly thought that soap is made by boiling fat and caustic soda.
Although caustic alkali cannot be found, there are also plant alkali in plant ashes!
Extract the plant alkali from the plant ash, then add animal fat and boil it, wouldn't it be enough to get soap? Then add the plant essence to the soap, wouldn't it be soap?
After suddenly thinking of this, some memories in his mind were like a reservoir that had opened its sluice gate, flowing out continuously.
Memory is a very magical thing. Sometimes I just can't remember it even if I think about it hard. But inadvertently, it keeps gushing out like spring water.
This is the current state of the clouds.
