Chapter 33 Incense wood that can be burned as a spice
(Thanks to the support of my brothers and sisters, ‘Shanye’ has risen from eighty-seven on the overall list to thirty-seven on the overall list, destroying many daisies along the way. You are really yours. Brothers and sisters are so powerful and domineering, haha...)
He chose a tree on the edge of the grove and scraped the bottom of the trunk with the wild boar's tusks.
After a few scrapes, he discovered that there was a faint fragrance coming from the scratched hole, which lifted his spirits.
This made him stop what he was doing and look carefully at the leaves above. The leaves were obviously not of the sandalwood or camphor wood family.
And if it is this kind of fragrant wood, you can smell the fragrance without scratching the wood.
This was a fragrant tree that he didn't recognize at all, but he didn't find it very strange. After all, this was a different world, and the fragrant trees he knew were really limited.
He had never played with incense before, and the so-called incense was just a hearsay.
However, he had paid more or less attention to famous trees such as agarwood, Jianglong wood, small-leaf rosewood, camphor tree, huanghuali, rosewood tree, golden nanke, etc.
But obviously, this fragrant tree does not belong to the trees he knows. Its leaves are like tongues, a bit like the leaves of an apple tree, but this is obviously not an apple tree.
If it were, it would have bloomed and yielded fruits long ago.
He looked to the side and found that this kind of fragrant wood was indeed extremely rare. There was no tree of the same type nearby.
He felt that he might have been lucky enough to chop down any tree he liked and it would turn into a fragrant tree.
So he stopped and just climbed up the tree and cut off a branch as thick as an arm.
As for whether the tree would die because he scratched a gap, he didn't want to care.
If it's dead, it's just a matter of time to chop it down.
He threw the branch onto the lawn below to dry in the sun so that it could be burned later as incense.
Then he picked another tree, thirty or forty centimeters in diameter.
This time, his luck was not so good. This was a very ordinary tree.
After scraping a gap about ten centimeters deep around the bottom of the tree with the wild boar's tusks, he stood up, used his shadowless feet, and kicked it fiercely.
After a few moments, he kicked the big tree until it rattled and finally fell onto the green patch of grass.
Then, he used wild boar tusks to cut the big tree into pieces of wood about half a meter long. This project seemed very big, but as his strength increased, it was not difficult.
The hardness and sharpness of wild boar tusks are beyond the resistance of these pieces of wood. As long as he doesn't use all his strength to break the wild boar tusks, the wild boar tusks will not break easily.
By the time it got dark, he had cut the tree, which was more than thirty meters high, into fifty or sixty half-meter-long pieces of wood, and he had also cut off many branches.
Of course, it's basically just scraping half of the gap, and then kicking it in a few times to get it done.
Seeing that it was getting dark, he went to the lake to wash up and returned to the cave.
The cave was already filled with the aroma of meat. The little fur ball had already pulled the pottery basin it was using in front of him and sat there, waiting for him to come back.
Seeing this, Yun Buliu couldn't help but laugh. This little guy is becoming more and more spiritual!
He walked to the stone stove, picked up a bamboo spoon, scooped two spoons of broth for it, put a few pieces of pig heart into the pottery pot, then placed a large leaf next to the pottery pot in front of him, and put a piece of
The barbecue steak was placed on top. "Eat it, little one!" he said while reaching out and rubbing its head.
Hiss, hiss...
The delicious and lazy little white snake also slipped over and opened its mouth to ask for meat.
This little guy has obviously turned into a fat house snake, and he actually eats three meals a day like them.
Yun Buliu was a little worried about its indigestion, so he said: "Little cutie, if you continue to overeat like this, you will really turn into a fat snake! How about we take a break tonight?"
As a result, as soon as it finished speaking, it bared its teeth and even the stinging scales on the back of its neck spread out.
"Tsk! If you are so disobedient, if you turn into a fat snake that can't swim, what will you do if you encounter an eagle?" Yun Buliu scolded it while scraping its flesh, "Everyone is like this.
It makes people worry and dares to bart their teeth at me, which shows that they don’t understand a good person’s heart!”
After cutting a few meat strips from it, he poured the broth from the clay pot into the clay pot, picked up the barbecue and started to chew on it. After taking a few bites of the barbecue, he took a sip of the broth and it felt delicious.
Because a lot of wild ginger is added, the fishy smell in the broth is not strong.
After swallowing a few strips of meat, the little white snake swam over and climbed onto his thigh. It rubbed its little head on his thigh a few times, as if it was inviting him to pet him.
After inviting him to be his pet, he started baring his teeth to ask for meat again!
"Go, go, go, eat until you can't move anymore, you little greedy snake."
After feeding it some more pork, it climbed onto the wicker chair and lay down contentedly.
After Yun Buliu finished eating the pork chops and pig heart soup, he also sat on the wicker chair and used wild boar tusks to make a bamboo tube. Little Furball also jumped onto the wicker chair and lay down next to him.
It rained for three consecutive days and the little furball spent three nights in the cave. Looking at it now, it is obvious that it does not want to go back to the treetops to blow in the wind.
Compared to spending the night on the treetops, the cat is obviously more comfortable on this wicker chair!
Working until midnight, he placed the several bamboo tubes he had made one by one in the alcove dug into the cave wall, and then carried the little white snake back to its nest to avoid fighting with the little fur ball on the wicker chair.
Ever since he got the wicker chair, the small nest on the cave wall was no longer attractive to the little white snake. When he usually slept, the little white snake would crawl into his arms to keep warm.
During the day, it basically just sits on the wicker chair and doesn't move.
Although it had shed two skins, Yun Buliu had never seen it before, and she didn't know where it hid and shed its skin, or where it threw the shed skin.
In short, this little white snake is a willful and arrogant snake that loves to eat and is lazy to cook.
…
The next day, after Yun Buliu finished washing, he cut four or five kilograms of pork and threw it into a clay pot, then filled it with water, lit a fire and slowly cooked it.
Then he took a few wooden points. Making the wooden points is actually very simple. Just burn a piece of hardwood with fire, then grind it with a rough stone, and finally grind the top of the stick into an ax blade shape.
This thing is most useful for chopping firewood.
Use the wild boar's tusks to scrape a seam on the cut surface of the wood, place the wood point against the seam, and then hit the top of the wood point with a stone. Within a few hits, the wood point will crack the wood.
This was how he used to chop dead wood.
At the beginning, he used stones, but the stones were too easy to break when stones hit stones. Later, he switched to wooden points, and everything became much easier.
It took him a whole day to split all the wood into firewood, then stack it into a firewood wall, and then move it back to the cave after drying.
He spent a whole day swinging rocks and chopping firewood, but he didn't feel very tired at all.
So he decided to practice for a while at night. After tossing himself to exhaustion, he lay down on the earthen kang to rest.
