One hundred yuan to survive: this anchor has a conscience but not much

Chapter 312 Natural Glue
Lu Chen first put the clay into the bucket, and then stirred vigorously until the clay and water were mixed into a uniform mud.

In fact, if you are not in a hurry, let the clay water stand for about three days, and it will naturally become a uniform mud.

It's just that Lu Chen and the others have limited aluminum barrels and can't keep using them like this.

And they really need a new batch of kitchen utensils, the previous ones have been used for too long.

"Bring the burlap."

Seeing that the mud was even, Lu Chen said to Qin Shou.

"okay."

Qin Shou moved quickly.

"This step is to filter out the gravel and other things in the clay."

Lu Chen spread the linen cloth flatly on top of another empty aluminum bucket, and then slowly poured the mud into it.

It is not very convenient to filter mud through linen cloth. The linen cloth itself is absorbent, and if you pour too much, the mud will gradually block the holes of the linen cloth.

After changing three pieces of linen, the mud water was finally filtered.

"After filtering, the next step is to wait."

"We have to wait for the mud water to settle and the cement to separate, and then dump the water."

Lu Chen put the linen cloth into the dirty aluminum bucket next to it, which would be cleaned later.

"I'll wash these. You can light a fire and cook."

Lu Chen picked up the dirty bucket and went to the waterfall to clean it.

It is difficult to wash the clay once it dries. While the mud is still wet, rinse it with water and it will be clean.

When Lu Chen came back from washing, Qin Shou's fire was lit and he was preparing the ingredients.

"Brother Lu, please go and take a rest. I'll just cook the food."

Qin Shou took care of everything.

"There's no need to rest. I'll make something else."

"We didn't have shovels before, so digging traps was very difficult."

"I'll make two simple stone shovels."

Lu Chen first took a wooden stick and a hemp rope, then a few pieces of charcoal and a few oily seeds.

"What are these going to be used for?"

Qin Shou felt a little strange when he saw what Lu Chen was holding.

"Making natural glue."

"Use some glue to make the stone shovel more stable."

Lu Chen said without raising his head.

He ground the charcoal into powder and then used an ax to break open the charcoal.

The rosin flowed out, and Lu Chen caught it with a broken earthen jar he had picked up at the beach.

Putting the broken earthen pot on the ground, Lu Chen took a piece of firewood and went to Qin Shou's stove to light a fire.

He set up a small woodpile, placed the broken earthen jar on top, and then poured some charcoal powder into the broken earthen jar.

He stirred it with a stick, and soon the rosin and charcoal powder were combined.

The dark liquid bubbled and gradually became even.

Lu Chen picked up the prepared wooden stick, put one end into the broken earthen jar, and then turned it around a few times.

The top of the wooden stick was coated several times with the dark viscous liquid. Lu Chen took out the wooden stick and placed the prepared stone pieces on the top of the wooden stick where there was black glue.

He pressed gently with his hand, and within a short time, the stone piece was fixed on the wooden stick.

"Is this jet black stuff natural glue?"

Qin Shou was surprised.

The meat on the pot was already simmering, so he didn't need to watch it for the time being. He came over to take a look curiously.

"Well, do you want to try it?"

Lu Chen handed the stone shovel to Qin Shou.

"Hey, it's quite strong. This piece of stone won't run away at all."

Qin Shou waved the stone shovel in the air several times.

The stone chip at the top of the stick was solid and motionless, not even a little bit off.

"That's natural. This glue works quite well."

"But if you want to dig something, the stone shovel still needs to be tied with a rope a few times to make it stronger."

Lu Chen said.

Just glue or just string binding is not very strong.This double fixation makes the tool more durable.

"This glue is really good, the effect is good, and the materials are simple."

"There is a lot of rosin in the pine forest, and there are trees all over the mountains and plains, so it is very easy to make charcoal."

"It's such a useful thing, why didn't Brother Lu get it in advance?"

"As for tying a few more lines for reinforcement, that's a minor issue."

"We still have the hemp rope, and there are vines nearby. You can use any method to tie it up."

Qin Shou quickly took a rope and tied the stone shovel tightly several times.

Then he dug the soil on the spot and tried it. He wanted to feel how the new tool felt.

"Not bad, pretty solid."

"And the stone is hard enough, so it's easy to dig."

"The only drawback is that it's a little heavy."

Qin Shou was very satisfied with Shi Xian.

Once you have glue, you can add a little more when making other tools later.

And if anything is damaged, they can also repair it with glue, which is really convenient.

"I didn't think of it before, otherwise I would have used glue."

"As long as it's strong and durable, there's nothing you can do if it's heavy."

"Stones are inherently heavy, so a stone shovel is naturally not light."

Lu Chen spread his hands.

Naturally, a stone shovel is not as good as an iron shovel, but it can still be used.

"It's pretty good. It's just a bit more tiring if it's a little heavier."

“It’s better to have tools than no tools.”

Qin Shou was very satisfied.

Lu Chen made a few more stone shovels as backup, and Qin Shou was also helping.

By the time they were done, the mushroom and pork ribs soup on the pot was almost simmering, and the two began to eat.

Another delicious meal, a combination of meat and vegetables, two meats, one vegetable and one soup, as well as sweet and delicious fruits after the meal.

This day is interesting.

Lu Chen was very leisurely, but Luo Cheng ran away in embarrassment again.

"Bang bang bang!"

Luo Cheng and the photographer had no choice but to dodge as wild fruits kept coming at them.

But even so, some wild fruits still fell on them.

Some wild fruits are so ripe that they will break instantly if hit on you.

The juice burst out and splashed on the person's body together with the pulp, making the person's skin and clothes dirty and sticky.

There are many bugs in the tropical rainforest, and the sweet smell of juice is very popular with these bugs.

Soon, bugs gathered around Luo Cheng and the photographer.

"Hurry up and cover your head, try not to expose any skin."

Luo Cheng shouted while covering his head with his coat.

The same was true for the photographer, but he had to move slower while carrying the camera, and he was bitten by bugs accidentally.

But at this time, he couldn't care about anything else and could only find a way to leave here as soon as possible.

Many bugs have already flown over. The bugs in the tropical rainforest are not only numerous but also diverse in variety.

Many of these bugs are poisonous, and being bitten is not pleasant.

The two of them had to avoid the monkeys and be careful of the bugs around them.

He almost ran away in a panic.

"Squeak!"

The monkeys were very happy in the back.

They swing back and forth in the trees, throwing things over from time to time.

A few naughty monkeys even ran ahead, deliberately blocking the way of Luo Cheng and the photographer.

Although the monkeys knew how powerful the two were and did not dare to confront them directly, there was still no problem in blocking their progress slightly.
