Desert Island Survival: I took my concubine and raised wolf cubs

Chapter 32 Freshwater
Refining fresh water is actually very simple. You only need to pour seawater into a pot, boil it to evaporate, and then let the evaporated water vapor condense and fall and be drawn out.

There was no pot lid, so Wen Xian made the pot on the earth stove semi-enclosed.

There is a fire hole at the bottom, and a large earthen pot above it. Further up, above the earthen pot is a lid that is mostly connected to the earthen pot.

Cover the earthen pot half tightly with a lid, leaving a hole at the top for filling with sea water.

There is also a gap close to the stove. The gap is plugged with wood. It can be moved when needed to scoop out the coarse salt that has settled inside.

Of course, these are not enough. The evaporated and condensed water will not escape outside.

If not handled properly, the condensed water will simply return to the pot until it evaporates completely.

It is difficult to drain the condensation water.

Wen Xian thought of a way to put a thin stone slab in the center of the pot lid.Half is in the pot and half extends into the reservoir dug outside the pot.

There is a slit in the middle to allow water to flow out.

It was already evening when all this was done, and the pit to be used as a reservoir was not big yet, but Wen Xian was eager to try and wanted to see if it could work right away.

She went to the cave to get the earthen pot she had made earlier, and planned to use the earthen pot to go to the beach to scoop up sea water back.

Sheng Lian'er caught up with her, took the earthen pot in her hand and said, "Madam, let me do it. Today's work is almost done. I'll go faster."

The task she set for herself today was to collect firewood. Although she was tired after a day of collecting firewood, she was embarrassed to rest anymore when she thought that Wen Xian was still thinking of ways to drink water for them.

"Then be careful and just scoop it on the side." Wen Xian handed the earthen pot to her without any further politeness.

The earthen stove was full enough to hold ten pots of water, but on the first try, Wen Xian only filled it half way before starting to light the fire.

It was the first time to refine fresh water so that she could test the results. Wen Xian directly connected the small earthen pot outside.When the fresh water comes out, put it directly into the pot.

When the fire started, Wen Xian threw some taro into the fire hole and roasted it.This time she baked twelve, leaving one for the cub.

Such a big wolf cub should drink milk, but there is no place to find wolf milk at the moment, so I can only try to feed it some taro to see if it eats it first.

It takes a long time to boil a large pot of water, so Wen Xian had nothing to do, so she simply found a sharp stone and started planting the dug wild vegetables and herbs at the entrance of the cave.

Xia Zhi and Zhou Hui guarded the fire and stared at the water outlet without blinking, trying to see if fresh water could come out.

Only people from Fang Jia came over to help with the cultivation and planting.

Wen Xian doesn't care about this, it doesn't matter even if no one helps her.

Everything must be done step by step. If you want to train the former concubine into a good hand in surviving in the wild and farming, there is a long way to go.

Before the vegetables were planted here, Jiang Lingling, who was guarding there, shouted excitedly.

"Madam, the water is out, the water is really out." Jiang Lingling ran over and called Wen Xian with excitement on her face.

How could she not be happy when she witnessed how fresh water was made for the first time.

Even Wu Junlan and Zheng Rou, who were working hard to dig a hole on the side, couldn't help but throw down stones and ran over to watch.

"Ahem~" Wen Xian coughed lightly, and the people surrounding her immediately made way for her.

It was actually Wen Xian's first time refining fresh water, so she didn't know whether she could succeed.

She took a roll of tree leaves and rolled it into a cone to catch the leaking water.After it was full, she couldn't wait to put a mouthful into her mouth.

Hu Ke'er asked expectantly: "How about it, Madam, is this water drinkable?"
