Go back to the valley to farm

Chapter 507: Snakeskin Fruit

Chapter [-]: Snakeskin Fruit

Seeing the crystal-clear taro balls in the coconut milk, A Yin couldn't help but feel a little proud, and said with a smile, "I was blind too, and it succeeded."

Two Beards is also very satisfied with the crystal taro balls, but for another dish made by A Yin, I would like to thank you.

Fried bee pupae.

A Yin was still reluctant to eat more, so she took a piece of paper and wrapped it into a greased paper bag, put it in her backpack, and prepared it as a snack on the road.

Li Junge scalded the remaining bee pupae with boiling water, then baked them on the stove, ground them into powder and mixed them with the quail's food, it was definitely a good thing.

What's more, add honey and purple sweet potatoes to make bait, hehehe, the carps in the lake will suffer a lot!

After eating, Li Junge removed all the fire from the stove and replaced it with burning bamboo charcoal.

Bamboo charcoal is smoke-free, and the carbon dioxide obtained is very pure. It is the best way to prepare baking soda with local methods.

Put the reaction bed on the square well, and the two began to pack things.

Net bags, backpacks, ropes, water bottles, biscuits, hammocks, long knives and short knives, Ayin’s catapult rope, Li Junge’s big bow...

This time it was a light pack, a heavy rain, coconuts and biscuits on the beach were enough for a meal.

Today, the two planned to go to the salt field first, and then went along the beach and crossed the beach area where the strange crab was found, and explored the reef area overlooked on the top of the mountain on the way back.

There was a heavy rain last night, and what should be checked is still to be checked. Before departure, Li Junge checked the surroundings, added water and food to the quails, shoveled off the excrement, and sprinkled fine sand again.

After returning to the work shed, the upper part and the lower part of the clay clarified yesterday were installed with two dustpans respectively, which divided the clay into three types. The middle mud, the bottom is the lower mud.

Then sprinkle the fish skin with tapioca flour, roughly sand it with sandpaper, and pat off the loose powder. The bottom of the fish skin becomes white, thin and soft, which can be regarded as tanned.

But the pigskin is not so easy. It has to be propped up again to dry, and then it has to be nitrated twice until the leather is full of nitrate before proceeding to the next step.

It was already past nine o'clock in the morning after everything was done, and the two blocked the gate before heading towards the beach.

First of all, go down to the lake to check for catfish.

The catfish was fine, so the two walked along the lake to the water outlet.

What people care most about is naturally those peppers that are still fruiting.

Now is the season for peppers to bear fruit, and many of them turn red every day. When the two came to the pepper field, they were hit by a heavy rain last night.

The two of them collected the ripe red peppers and all the peppers that had been knocked to the ground, and then walked to the beach along a new road.

This is the plan made by Li Junge. Every time he goes to the beach, he will move 50 meters away from the lake and stream to the mountains and take a new road, and slowly export the valley to the beach, a large area with relatively sparse forests. Explore them all.

Along the way, Li Junge broke some small branches along the road as a sign for the return journey.

The two also discovered a lot of properties during this trip.

In addition to the most common crops such as cassava, taro, coriander, wild onion, and purslane, the two also found some peppers and a palm fruit that neither of them had seen before.

This kind of palm grows very strangely. There are circles of long thorns growing on the pole. The leaves on it are somewhat like the water bamboos that are ornamented in Shuzhou Yangshui. There are some heart-shaped fruits on it. The skin of a water lizard seen on the side.

Li Junge picked one and peeled it off. The peel was very thin and sharp. Inside was light yellow flesh. A smell of durian mixed with alcohol came out.

As soon as you smell it, you know you can eat it, but it's A Yin's dish, but it's Li Junge's poison.

Opened another one, this one was much raw than the last one, but the flesh was sweet and crisp, like eating an apple, Li Junge then said comfortably: "Hehe, this thing is not bad, Ayin, remember to eat the ripe one again after you finish eating it." Rinse your mouth with a raw one."

After speaking, I picked a few ripe ones and put them in my backpack.

A Yin said: "I can't eat too much, Erpi, you should pick less..."

Li Junge chuckled: "It's not all picked for you. Didn't you smell the alcohol smell of the ripe fruit just now? Use this thing as a primer, and then add those fruits with a lot of water, such as the strange loquat, together Can you make wine in a sealed jar?"

A Yin laughed and said: "Anyway, there are jars and fruits now, and there is still time, you can try it, um, why don't you try making wine, I will try making jam, now that there is honey, making jam should be very simple. "

Li Junge dismissed it: "Even Xiaosong and Xiaobai know how to do this, it's not too difficult, Ayin, can you pursue it a bit?"

A Yin covered her mouth and smiled: "When it comes to eating, no one in Lijiagou dares to pursue you..."

Teasing and laughing all the way out of the bushes, the two found that it was not far from the strange crab beach.

There was a heavy rain, and many coconuts fell everywhere.

Taking a wide leaf and bending it into a small funnel, Li Junge asked Ayin to pour out all the water in the kettle, and began to cut the coconut to fill the kettle.

Two coconuts can fill a kettle. Ayin shook her head and praised: "Erpi, your kettle is really beautiful and practical!"

Li Junge said with a smile: "There is only one problem. After using it for a period of time, you have to re-maintain the worn spout with putty and raw lacquer, and replace the cork, otherwise the seal will not be good."

Ayin looked at the cork made of reed core and lacquer putty, and said with a smile: "A cork is so meticulously made, Erpi, the difficulty of your cork is almost as difficult as that of a kettle..."

Li Junge said: "I can't help but be careful. The sealing problem is the most difficult problem. There is not enough thick bark on the island. The general adhesive is not resistant to high temperature. My requirements for the kettle are not only light and durable, but also It can directly pour boiling water..."

Ayin combed Li Junge's already long hair with her small hands, and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, our family's Erpi may be patient, how can we follow the general requirements?"

The two filled the coconut juice and walked along the beach to the rocky area.

When you come to the reef area, it is the highest water level of the sea tide. If you want to find a bargain in the reef area, you have to wait until around three o'clock in the afternoon.

But it wasn't that there was nothing to do. The two walked along the footline of the rock wall outside the island, wanting to see what resources there were on this side.

However, the resources here are incomparable to those in the valley. Apart from the abundant flint, there is really nothing worth buying.

The cliff around me became steeper and steeper, and before I knew it, I got higher and higher from the coastline, and even walked on a natural path leading to the mid-air of the cliff.

The two of them were used to walking this kind of road in Bifeng Mountain, and they didn't have any psychological barriers at all, but the feet of the two beards who followed behind were weakening again.

A Yin came to the end of the path first, and there was a stone crevice on the cliff, leading to the sea below. Looking down, you can see the waves gushing, and looking up, you can go straight to the top of the mountain.

A Yin drilled in sideways, stepped on the protruding rock with her toes on her toes, supported the inclined cliff face with her hands, looked up at the top of the crack, and said, "Erpi, do you think this place looks like an eagle's mouth hanging from the sky?" Where is the cliff?"

Li Junge looked up at the crack in the cliff like a chimney, and said with a smile: "It really smells like that, do you want to go up?"

Ayin smiled and said, "Then will you let me go?"

Li Junge can't laugh or cry: "You are a cat, there is still time before the tide recedes, you can play if you want..."

A Yin said: "There are a lot of bird eggs on it, and there must be a lot of feathers. Don't you want it?"

Li Junge secretly laughed in his heart, since when did you become interested in these things, Ayin?

If you want to climb, just say so!This chick just loves these exciting sports.

But he didn’t say anything, just said: "Really? Then let's look up, but be careful on the road, there may be snakes in the crevices of the rocks, we don't insist on climbing to the top, and we will retreat if something goes wrong."

Ayin nodded to Li Junge, and the two began to climb up the rock gap.

Ayin was obviously in a good mood, and she was so fast.

The gap between the stones is tilted at a certain angle, and the difficulty of climbing is actually not as good as that of the eagle's mouth, but it is still an addiction.

There is a stream in the deepest part of the crevice, flowing down from the top of the mountain. This crevice may have been cut by that small stream over hundreds of millions of years.

Li Junge was at Ayin's feet, observing his surroundings while climbing: "Ayin, look how powerful the power of nature is. Such a hard igneous rock was cut into a depth of six or seven meters by such a small stream of water."

Ayin said: "Tell me, are we the first humans to come to this place?"

Li Junge laughed loudly: "It's a pity that I didn't bring mud, otherwise I could draw a pair of villains here."

A Yin laughed and said, "Are you a bad habit of Chinese people? You never forget to write about this visit wherever you go..."

Li Junge said: "I just want to write about loving you all over the world..."

Ah Yin felt his hands a little soft, and said angrily: "Don't make trouble! I hate it, don't say this now..."

Further up, you will soon enter the Bird's Nest area.

Li Junge said to A Yin: "A Yin, why don't you go up? If you startle the nest and get into the smell of strangers, maybe the mother bird won't be able to hatch the eggs."

A Yin was almost satisfied. Looking back down, the dark blue sea water squeezed in hundreds of meters below the rock cracks, making huge white foam, which was spectacular.

Nodding their heads, Li Junge and A Yin began to retreat.

This difficulty is higher than that of climbing upwards, and the two of them are more careful.

Back on the small road, A Yin patted Li Junge: "In the future, you are not allowed to say that kind of thing when climbing a cliff! The person who said it was soft..."

Li Junge smirked, and said in her ear: "Why did you react so strongly? How about I tell you every day in the future, just get used to it..."

Ayin was shy and sweet, and said: "No, there is no such thing as you in Lijiagou, the villagers will kill you when they hear the joke!"

Li Junge has no face and no skin: "Isn't I always a joke in Lijiagou? From picking up green stones to planting lychees, from raising fish to planting seedling rice, from encouraging uncle craftsmen to make fishing rods to encouraging Qiu girl Paintings on the ceiling of No. [-] Creek..."

Ayin gave Li Junge a good-looking look: "No one in the village dares to laugh at you now. Wenquxing, who is convinced by the old Tuanyu, whoever laughs at you will find that he is a joke in the end. Do you know who said it? Li Ermao See me say it again and again, boasting like a flower!"

Li Junge smiled and said: "This Li Ermao! I haven't noticed that he will play the side drum for me in front of you. He is afraid that you will look down on me, a rustic bumpkin, and kick me out of Lijiagou face!"
