Another World Drift

Chapter 16

Chapter No.16

Re-burning the fire, Yuan Xu wiped off the sweat from the fire, felt that his body was wet and uncomfortable, added more firewood, and ran to the small valley by himself. After taking a battle bath in the garden and picking the five-color fruit, I hurriedly washed and ran back. After all, there was an oolong that accidentally missed the fire last night, so you should be careful. These clay jars are not easy to pinch. ah.

To be on the safe side, Yuan Xu never left the fire, and didn't even look at the raisins drying on the rocks, and stayed here all the time.

After eating five-color fruit, Yuan Xu recalled the dream of last night (this guy always thought he was dreaming last night!), frowned, not knowing why he remembered the old sesame seeds and rotten millet when he was a child, but just saw the scene of the rising sun on the sea , but the mood is suddenly enlightened, those things in the past are gone, life is alive, there are gains and losses, cherish what you have now, and don't resent what you don't get.Generally speaking, what should be yours will always be yours, what should not be yours, and it will never be yours.

Just like now, for no reason, I crossed over and arrived at an unknown desert island. If I had parents, I would definitely not be able to settle down as I am now. Now, I have nothing to worry about in modern society, so I can stay here with peace of mind Live, live here.

Yuan Xu, who had figured it out, felt that the old past that had been suppressed in his heart for many years was just like that, being expelled by a ray of sunshine.It is like an old box that has been silent for 20 years in an old house. It is full of rotten smell and is about to become moldy and rotten. I dare not touch it at ordinary times, for fear that the whole house will be destroyed by this rotten and moldy box. Suddenly one day, the sun shines on this old box, and suddenly finds that this box has been annihilated into dust as early as in time, and returned to dust under the sun!

He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling his whole body relaxed a lot, Yuan Xu tasted the five-color fruit carefully, his mood was relaxed and tight, and his whole body was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Because of the oolong last night, Yuan Xu burned all the firewood he picked up from the back mountain before he went to the small cliff to look at the raisins he dried.Yuan Xu has already climbed up and down the small cliff many times, so he climbed up from the road he used to go up and down. Yuan Xu arrived at the small cliff in two or three steps, and walked to the place where he dried raisins. Xu looked at the raisins on the rock.

It has become much wilted, the original round and moist grapes are now shriveled, just like a young girl with tender skin after being exposed to the hot sun, turning into an old woman with wrinkled and shrunken faces!

These grapes have been in the sun for almost eight days, and they have shrunk by two-thirds. If you twist them with your hands, the grape water will not seep out. Yuan Xu remembers that the raisins should be fine when they are exposed to the sun. Needs to be dried.Gathering the grapes that were drying on the stones, Yuan Xu ran back to the small valley to get the flat baskets woven from the white strips of the shrubs from last time. They were flat and big, and they were just right for drying wild vegetables and raisins. These are Yuan Xu’s baskets. He took the time to weave it out. He actually used untreated shrub strips to weave the baskets and baskets, but it seems that there is no difference except for the appearance.So Yuan Xu no longer bothered to peel the skin, dry it and soak it in water.

For those shrubs, Yuan Xu made a total of [-] flat baskets, which were flat and neat, and they were carried up together, and the raisins were evenly scattered into the flat baskets, which were just full, and the five flat baskets were piled up, Yuan Xu carefully Pick it up, hold it steadily, and be more careful when going down the small cliff. Then I carefully got these raisins and put them back in the small valley. Put it on and dry it in the shade in the cave.

After the raisins were settled, Yuan Xu checked that the sky was still early, and went to the back mountain to look at the raisins that had been hanging on the tree. The raisins here had shrunk a little because they were not exposed to the sun. It seemed that they had to wait for all to dry in the shade It really takes a month, God bless, don't let it rain suddenly this month!

I brought some wild vegetables back to finish dinner, and when I was digging wild vegetables, I accidentally dug out sweet potatoes! !

When Yuan Xu was digging shepherd's purse, he inserted a stone knife into the soil, and when he dug up, a shepherd's purse was dug up. But this time, Yuan Xu accidentally encountered an obstacle when digging up. What happened? I don’t know what was scratched on the stone knife. I know my roots are still quite hard. Yuan Xu dug the surrounding soil with the stone knife, and the sweet potatoes that were not buried deep were exposed. Yuan Xu looked at the lump of soil Did he really recognize it at first, and patted off all the dirt, Yuan Xu looked at it, didn't he see that the thing just unearthed was a sweet potato, a potato, or a taro?

Finally, Yuan Xu picked a small one and took a stone knife. Of course, before this, Yuan Xu wiped off the mud on the knife with a leaf. The flesh inside was light yellow. Yuan Xu finally confirmed that this is sweet potato, nicknamed yam. It is also!Sweet potatoes are a good thing, with high yields, and can be eaten as a staple food, roasted, boiled, or dried.Even the branches and tendrils can be picked off to stir-fry and eat, and Yuan Xu found something to satisfy his stomach again.Yuan Xu has already stored a lot of food.

What can't be hurt is that Yuan Xu has seen this plant many times, but he doesn't know the leaves of sweet potatoes, so he missed a lot. If he didn't dig wild vegetables this time, Yuan Xu felt that he still couldn't find sweet potatoes.This sweet potato grows quite big, the smallest one is the size of two fists, the big one can't be held by two hands, and the diameter is estimated to be about [-] centimeters.

There are many plants of this kind in the woods, so Yuan Xu didn't dig more. He dug a few pieces and brought them back today. Because the sweet potatoes grow very big, the quantity he brought back is still quite considerable.

Yuanxu's dinner that night was roasted and boiled sweet potatoes, and Yuanxu didn't cook any wild vegetables.Wash the mud outside the sweet potatoes, put the big ones into the pot and cook, and the small ones are scattered and buried in the red fire after the water boils.After the sweet potatoes are cooked, the sweet and sweet smell emerges from the pot, which is very tempting. This sweet smell reminds him of his childhood memories.

At that time, the orphanage was still in the outskirts of the city, and there were many farms around it. Some people could grow sweet potatoes. At that time, he was very naughty. Life in the orphanage was difficult. The children in the orphanage will sneak out of the orphanage and go to the field to find something to eat. The sweet potatoes, peanuts, and broad beans in the field are all their choices. Make a fire and roast these, sweet sweet potatoes, fragrant Peanuts and soft broad beans are good things to feed their small appetites.

But of course you have to be careful about this kind of thing, hide behind people, don't be discovered by the person in charge of the orphanage, and don't be discovered by the farmers. They were never caught when they were young. They used to be very proud of this, but later When I grew up, I heard from the dean that it was the people in the orphanage who knew that they did it, but they have a small appetite and never spoiled things, so no one went to the orphanage to file a complaint. No one drives them away.

Take the steaming sweet potatoes out of the pot, peel off the skin, revealing the sweet and soft flesh inside, after eating one, Yuanxu is half full, thinking of the roasted sweet potatoes under the stove, Yuanxu put the remaining sweet potatoes Pick it up on a plate, and plan to cut it into slices and dry it into dried sweet potatoes. Yuan Xu ate this kind of snack when he was a child. It was hard and sweet, and it was for children to grind their teeth.

Use a stone knife to cut the soft sweet potato into slices as thin as possible, but because the stone knife is too blunt, the sweet potato slices are not ideal, not to mention the thickness, there are also chopped ones, Yuanxu thought, if I have a world of martial arts The necessary internal strength is enough, that thing is deep, can't you use a broken knife to cut gold and jade? !If you have that kind of internal strength, such a trivial matter as cutting sweet potatoes is a no-brainer!Of course, Yuanxu didn't realize at this time that it was a waste of money to cultivate such a deep internal strength for nothing but to look better when cutting sweet potatoes!

No matter how he thinks about it, he doesn't have the deep inner strength to cut gold and jade with broken copper and iron. He only has a blunt stone knife to cut out sweet potato slices of different thicknesses and dry them on the shrub woven On the plate, when it dries, it is dry food that can fill your stomach again.

After a good night's sleep, Yuan Xu woke up refreshed. While washing up, he thought, today, the pottery should be able to be dug out.It was fired yesterday, but today the fire should have been extinguished, and the temperature of the pottery has dropped.

After taking a bath, Yuan Xu jumped ashore. He seemed to feel that his body had become lighter since he let go of the old things in his heart that night. The height and distance of his jumps were much different than before. He was light and healthy. I feel that Yuanxu is very happy, which means that his physical fitness has become better due to unknown reasons, which means that he will not get sick easily, and will not get sick easily, which means that he will not face the problems caused by illness. Unable to heal and face the situation of waiting to die.

Isn't there such a line in the lyrics, "Don't get sick if you have anything." The body is the capital of the revolution. Whether it is looking for a human society or living well on a desert island, a healthy body is needed.

Yuan Xu walked towards Taniguchi while eating his own breakfast, and walked to the place where pottery was burned.The fire that was still burning red yesterday has been extinguished now, and most of the ashes left by the burning were blown away by the sea breeze. Yuan Xu pushed the ashes away to reveal the pottery inside, and Yuan Xu still put the pots in it. The location, but the texture has changed. Yesterday's earth color has become a deeper yellowish brown. It still feels the temperature of yesterday's flame, but yesterday's scorching temperature has no ability to hurt people, and only the warmth remains. The warmth can only warm people's fingers.

Pull out all the jars and pots, and slap away the dust on the surface. Those without any patterns are called rustic in a higher-level word, and the pottery in its original color is exposed. There are more than a dozen jars with large bottoms and small mouths. There is also a large pot for wine making, which is more useful for boiling salt and sugar, and has a large capacity, so you don’t need to always change the container.

The pottery this time was relatively good, and it was not affected by the fire that was almost extinguished that night. It was fired perfectly, with no obvious cracks, and there should be no water leakage.

Move the burnt jars and pots back to the small valley one after another, wash them with stream water, and wait to dry. The grapes in the vineyard are not ripe yet, so it is not a good time to make wine, but we should take advantage of this It's time to prepare the sugar needed to make wine.There was too little cane sugar boiled the night before, and it is estimated that a jar of wine cannot be brewed.

There were still some sugar cane brought back in the valley last time, but the amount was a bit small. Yuan Xu decided to go to the back mountain with the basket on his back, cut more sugar cane and boiled more sugar cane at a time.

Just do it, Yuanxu put a basket on his back, and set off towards the back mountain. When he entered the vineyard, Yuanxu took a look at the raisins and unripe grapes. The raisins were still the same, and they had to be dried slowly. The color of the grapes is much darker than when they were playing just that day, and they are not far from ripeness, but they are still hard when pinched, and it always takes a few days to ripen.

It took more than half a day for Yuan Xu to look at the four big bundles of sugar cane, and they were all tied up. Yuan Xu held the basket in his hand, carried the bundle of sugar cane on his back, and walked back. The trees in the woods were relatively dense, and Yuan Xu He carried the bundles of sugarcane upright, and carried an empty basket in one hand.On the way, I collected some wild vegetables and half a basket of sweet potatoes. These can conclusively prove that Yuanxu's physical fitness has not only improved a little while on the deserted island. walked.

With so many things in his hands now, Yuanxu thought dissatisfiedly that he only had two hands, and he could only take such a little home at a time. It seemed that he had to chop sugar cane a few more times. According to the experience of squeezing sugar cane juice last time, these Sugarcane can’t squeeze out much sugarcane juice, so get some more sugarcane one day to go home, and concentrate on squeezing sugarcane juice tomorrow, and boil sugar the day after tomorrow.

While thinking, Yuan Xu set goals for himself. With so many things on his back, it didn't take him long to return to the small valley, and he didn't even feel tired, and didn't even shed a drop of sweat.

The author has something to say: sweet potato, our hometown dialect is called yam, so dear friends, this is a dialect problem, just take a look, don’t get entangled~
