Chapter 577 The Function of Flax

"Flax?" Yan felt that this word was very familiar. Xiao Yu should have mentioned it, but he couldn't remember it.He walked over, took out a grass from the pile of grass that Dabai's mouth spit out on the ground, and shook it in his hand, "Can it be delicious?"

Xiao Yu smiled, "Little boy, tell your father about it."

"Acridine?" Xiaoguai's icy blue eyes were filled with mist, "I knew this was made of Daacr~ It seems..." He scratched his hair, "It seems to be able to make clothes~"

Xiao Yu stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, "Yes! But if you can eat it, it's not wrong. Because flax can be squeezed for oil!"

Yan turned the flax in his hands in surprise. He knew that corn can be used to squeeze oil, and walnuts can be squeezed into oil, but corn and walnuts are both full, but this flax... the small flowers are about to fall off, and the small bags on it should be fruits Oh, it’s so small, how much does it take to extract the oil!This is really... very troublesome to extract oil!
Looking at Yan's expression, Xiao Yu knew what he was thinking, "There are several varieties of flax, and some have a higher oil yield. But compared with corn and walnuts, they are naturally not as good as them! We have squeezed corn oil and walnuts Oil, after excluding losses, the oil yield of corn is about 70.00%, while that of walnut is about 5.00% and 20.00%, and that of flax is even less. I think [-]% is the best! Of course, in my hometown, the oil yield is higher than It is much higher, but we are purely handmade, so there is no way for the oil yield!"

"With such a big gap, there is no need to use flaxseed to extract oil! With this time, we can do other things, right?" Yan didn't understand why he had to use flaxseed to extract oil.

Xiao Yu also imitated Yan and Xiaoguai and played with a flax tree in his hand, "I didn't say to use it to extract oil! After all, it's too much trouble, and the income is obviously not proportional to the output, so the gain outweighs the loss." She Take out the fruit on the top of the flax, and after peeling off, there are flax seeds inside, "This is actually similar to wheat, this is the seed of flax, when there is a lack of food, this can also be eaten as food, of course, it must be ground into powder Or steamed, but because of the high oil content in it, it is easy to have diarrhea after eating! That is to say, flax is not suitable for food.”

Yan hugged Xiaoguai, leaning against Dabai's side, Xiaoguai stretched out his hands from time to time to fiddle with the few florets left on the linen.

"Flax seeds are a kind of medicinal material, like you often eat meat and are prone to constipation! It can also treat chronic hepatitis and tuberculosis, etc. It is very useful, but the most important thing is that it can be used for weaving!"

Hearing that it is a medicinal herb for healing, Yan is still very interested. As for weaving, don't they have fireweed cloth?
Before Yan could open his mouth, Xiaoguai had already asked, "But we have fire grass cloth~"

"The functions of flax and fireweed are similar. Both can be used to rub rope and weave cloth, but the rope of flax is stronger, and in summer, the clothes made of it will be cooler than fireweed. In fact, fireweed is somewhat It is soft, and it is not very durable to make clothes, so we can use fireweed cloth to make bedding, or hang fireweed cloth inside animal skins, so that it is more comfortable to wear, and flax can be used to make clothes when the weather is warm .”

"Is this the same way as fire grass?" Yan looked at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu: "...I think it's almost the same. It seems that the fiber is extracted from it, and then spun into thread, and then twisted into rope or weaving. The craftsmanship should be similar to that of fire grass. We can let Yun and the others try it. Anyway, success is the best, if we don’t succeed, we have firegrass cloth, and we don’t have any loss.” She is only responsible for buying clothes and wearing them on Earth, and she has never weaved cloth, how does she know?
