Chapter 15 Preparing to Build a Palm Leaf Hut

You must know that palm core is an expensive food in Mauritius. It is said to be very nutritious and has the reputation of "the king of vegetables".

Su Meng, who is not king, doesn't care, anyway, there are related interests operating behind this title, she only cares about whether she can eat it or not.

Now there is another kind of food in the evening, which makes her very happy.

After showing how to harvest palm leaves and the method of collecting palm cores, Su Meng left Zhang Lin and Bo Jing to continue working, while she returned to the rock pile with dozens of palm leaves.

Seeing Su Meng come back with a large bundle of palm leaves, Du Jiayue, who was in charge of boiling water, quickly got up to take the palm leaves, and said with a bit of surprise: "You're back? Drink quickly Get some water, I’ve boiled the water and let it cool down, it’s just the right temperature for drinking.”

"Do you and Su want to drink?" Su Meng asked with a smile instead of drinking water in a hurry.

"I've already drank it, and it won't take long to boil a pot of water." Du Jiayue was a little embarrassed, as if she was worried that Su Meng would be unhappy, so she explained: "I think Su is too tired to cut down trees, and you don't know When are you coming back."

"Water is boiled for people to drink." Su Meng waved his hand indifferently: "We are a whole now, one T, and it is our first time to come to the wilderness, we need to trust each other, learn from each other, and help each other , so as to get 10 billion.”

Du Jiayue nodded vigorously. She thought Su Meng was the kind of character who likes to control everything, but she didn't expect to be so heart-warming.

Su Meng looked down at the two steel pots filled with water, was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Then Su wants to refill the water?"

Du Jiayue shook her head, her face flushed slightly: "I went to pick it up from the pool. Su wanted to pick it up, but I refused because I was afraid of delaying his tree-cutting progress. Don't worry, I followed your instructions. Find a way to get water from the pool, don't worry about any danger I will encounter."

Su Meng glanced at Du Jiayue in surprise, and her recognition of this girl increased by one point.

Although this steel pot is only the size of a human head, it is still heavy to fill with water, especially in such a very exhausted situation, other girls may make Su want to fetch water with half-pushing, and continue to rest while sitting down.

But Du Jiayue not only did not sit and rest, but also refused Su Xiang's help, and took the initiative to go to the pool to fetch water.

This shows that she is not a bastard, and her eyes are very lively.

"Actually, you don't have to take care of me." Du Jiayue looked at Su Meng seriously, and said in a sincere tone: "I grew up in the countryside and did everything at home. Cutting firewood and carrying water are all things to me. It's a small case."

"Girl, you're thinking too much." Su Meng raised her eyebrows, and signaled Du Jiayue to look at the bundle of palm leaves with her eyes, with a hint of a smile in her tone: "Here, these palm leaves need to be halved vertically." Tear it apart, and this is what you need to do next, I'm going to deliver water to Zhang Lin and Bo Jing, you work hard!"

After Zhang Lin and Bo Jing drank a pot of cold water, they suddenly felt that they were doing well again, and they worked harder.

Su Meng smiled and said "Cheer up", carrying two bundles of palm leaves in one hand and two steel pots in the other, and hurried back to the pile of rocks.

Seeing Su Meng come back with so many palm leaves, Su Xiang couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, and said a little unhappy: "You didn't drink any water and still carried so many things, can you do it?"

"Are the trees and vines that you cut down finished?" Su Meng said while putting the palm leaves beside Du Jiayue so that she could do secondary processing.

"Tch, can that be called a tree? It's only three fingers thick, and at most it's a small sapling." Su Xiang pouted, wondering why Su Meng asked him to cut down such a thin tree.

Isn't it the kind of thick and big trees that should be used to build a shelter?

Then he leaned in front of Su Meng again, proudly said: "I also went to pick up a lot of firewood, enough for us to burn until tomorrow."

"You are awesome. Since you have nothing to do now, take the steel pot and go to the pool with me to fetch water. I'm dying of thirst." Su Meng casually said that if she didn't drink any more water, she would really be dehydrated.

On the way to the water pool, there is a small piece of giant dragon bamboo forest, and the wind blows through the treetops, making a pleasant "salsa" sound.

Su Meng's footsteps suddenly paused, looking at the bamboo forest, for some reason, an emerald green figure suddenly appeared in her mind.

"Want to see Xiaoqing?"

Su Xiang was walking with his head buried when he suddenly heard Su Meng's question, but he didn't react for a while.

"Stand here and wait for me, and I'll come back as soon as I go." After speaking, Su Meng got into the bamboo forest with a hatchet and a wooden stick.

After a while, Su Xiang saw his sister walking towards him holding an emerald green snake.

"Beautiful, isn't it? It's called Zhuyeqing. It's highly poisonous, but you can eat it as long as you cut off the head and the tail, and it tastes good. It's illegal to eat it on Earth."

While speaking, Su Meng smoothly rolled up the slightly twisting snake body and threw it into the steel pot.

Su Xiang, who was standing behind her, was stunned by this series of changes.

When did his sister become so tough?

really!
When the two came to the pool, Su Meng found a vine, tied it to the snake's neck, and hung it at a convenient place and a suitable height for her to operate.

After hanging it, she used a hatchet to cut the snake's skin along the neck of the snake, separated the snake's skin from the snake's flesh with her fingernails along the circumcision, and then peeled the snake's skin towards the back of the snake.

After peeling this circle, hold the peeled snake skin with both hands, and pull the snake skin to the back of the snake body one by one, peeling and pulling until the whole snake skin is completely peeled off.

In general, the fresher the body, the easier it is to peel.

"Go dig a hole and bury these internal organs, otherwise it will attract other beasts." Su Meng ordered bluntly, and then muttered in her mouth: "I hope I can meet another little boy on the way back. Too little, otherwise I can only eat more wild vegetables and drink more soup to fill my stomach at night."

It's a pity that the two went back smoothly and did not encounter any snakes or other animals.

After Du Jiayue saw the processed snake meat, not only was she not afraid, but she was surprised.

She said happily: "It's been a long time since I ate snake meat. It just so happened that there were wild onions in the wild vegetables we found, which can be used to remove the fishy smell. It's a pity that there is no salt, and the taste will be almost worse."

Su Meng was a little at a loss. Aren't wild onions only available in spring?This is not scientific.

Then she felt relieved, that's right, this is not on the earth, and it makes sense that the laws of plant growth on the earth do not apply here.

Maybe the spring on this planet comes earlier than the spring on the earth.

"Then I'll leave the dinner to you." Su Meng said with a smile, and walked to a newly cleared space, ready to build the frame of the palm leaf hut.
