"Tread, tread..."

Chu Feng walked in front with the sugar palm fruit on his shoulder, and Liu Yimeng followed behind.

The two walked for more than half an hour, without stopping along the way, and returned safely to the camp.

"I'm so tired." Liu Yimeng gasped and put the bamboo basket down.

Yun Xin heard the voice and walked out of the shelter, looking at the sugar palm fruits piled up in the yard, like a small mountain, and said stunned: "Chu Feng, so many sugar brown fruits, if you can't finish eating, they will be broken, right?" "

The husks can also be dried and used as firewood.

"Part of it is eaten, and the rest is used to make sugar." When Chu Feng saw the sugar palm fruit for the first time, he thought of sugar, because it rained last time, it was not convenient to bring more.

"Sugar?" Liu Yiqiu was stunned, sugar palm fruit can also make sugar?

She only knew that sugar cane and sugar beets together could be made into white sugar, but she didn't know that sugar palm fruit could also make it.

"Yes, but the sugar made is different from white sugar, and the amount will be very small." Chu Feng nodded.

The inflorescences and fruits of the sugar palm tree can be made into sugar, but the main part of sugar production is the sap of the inflorescence, but now this season, the inflorescence has long been gone.

"Sugar palm fruit to sugar? So how to do it? Yun Xin was curious and quickly walked over.

"Just dig out the fruit inside, mash it, squeeze out the juice, and then boil it to thicken it and dry it." Chu Feng simply said the steps, this is the easiest way to make sugar.

"So simple? Then I'll try. Yun Xin said eagerly, turned around and entered the shelter, and took out the two steel pots.

"I'll go get you a wooden bench." Liu Yiqiu bent down into the shelter and took out the wooden benches stacked together.

"Thanks." Chu Feng chuckled, sat down on the wooden stool, and began to process the sugar palm fruit with a firewood knife.

Holding a firewood knife, he cut open one end of the sugar palm fruit, revealing a notch in the shape of a '囧' shape, and handed it to the girl.

Yun Xin took the split sugar palm fruit, dug out the three jelly-like flesh inside, and poured it into the steel pot together with a little juice and water.

Chu Feng's speed of cutting the sugar palm fruit became faster and faster, and Liu Yiqiu and Yun Xin's hands did not stop, and they kept digging the pulp.

More than half an hour later, the two steel pots were filled with the pulp of sugar palm fruit, and next to them were piled up with empty husks like hills.

"How do you squeeze I?" Yun Xin looked at his hands, did he want to squeeze them one by one?

"Make an extruder." Chu Feng thought for a while, got up and found two pieces of bamboo, one end tied with a rope.

After cleaning, put the pulp between two pieces of bamboo, and then pinch the other end, the two pieces of bamboo squeeze I pressed each other, crushed the pulp, and a small amount of juice I water dripped down the bamboo slices in the steel pot.

In this way, the pulp of the rotten fruit will be cleaner, and the juice and water will be cleaner than the hand squeeze.

"This should be delicious." Liu Yimeng looked at the flattened flesh.

"Yes, you can taste it?" Chu Feng took out the flattened pulp and casually stuffed it into Liu Yimeng's mouth.

"It's okay, the crunchy feeling is gone, but it's still quite sweet." Liu Yimeng chewed the flesh, and there was satisfaction on her face.

"The squeezed pulp is used to cook sweet soup." Yun Xin said softly, took the simple squeezer in Chu Feng's hand, and began to squeeze the remaining pulp.

"Chu Feng, make another extruder, I'll help." Liu Yimeng smashed the bar and smashed the mouth.

"Good." Chu Feng chuckled, got up and found two more pieces of bamboo, it took less than ten minutes, and the second extruder was completed.

"There will always be a squeeze." Liu Yimeng muttered, pressing the already flattened pulp hard again, and a few drops of juice oozed out.

She packed the squeezed pulp in a clay pot, and at the bottom of the steel pot, there was already a lot of sugar palm fruit juice.

After more than an hour, the two women squeezed the pulp in the steel pot, and the juice in the two steel pots was poured together and filled half of the pot.

"I'll take it and boil it." Yun Xin bent down into the shelter with a steel pot, put the steel pot on the fireplace, and began to boil.

She took a bamboo spoon and stirred it constantly to prevent the bottom of the pot from burning.

After more than ten minutes, white smoke began to rise from the steel pot, and the juice in the pot began to become sticky.

Chu Feng walked in, looked at the situation in the steel pot and said, "You have to stir it all the time." "

"Good." Yun Xin replied softly, stuffed two sticks of wood into the fireplace, and then stood up and kept stirring it clockwise.

The juice in the steel pot becomes more and more viscous, and finally turns into rice cereal, the color is a light yellow-brown, a bit like the color of coconut sugar.

"Okay, pour it into a set bowl and wait for it to solidify." Chu Feng said softly, if you boil it again, it will start to burn, and the sugar that comes out of this will be bitter.

"Good." Yun Xin quickly replied, carrying the steel pot and pouring the viscous syrup inside into the pottery bowl, just filling a bowl.

"Quite a lot." Chu Feng chuckled, if the sugar is successful, then the remaining sugar palm fruits can be cut back to make sugar.

"So sweet, it should have succeeded." Yun Xin licked the syrup sticking on the bamboo spoon, which was much sweeter than eating sugar palm fruit alone.

"It should freeze in the evening." Chu Feng said softly.

"Uh-huh." Yun Xin nodded lightly, took out the clay pot and filled the water tank with some water, and then carefully put the pottery bowl into it and soaked.

Doing so will allow the syrup to cool faster and set more easily.

Chu Feng walked out of the shelter and added new wood to the stove, making the flames burn even stronger.

The water inside the clay pot was boiling all the time, and the eucalyptus bark turned light brown and tumbled in the boiling water.

Chu Feng thought about it and found a pile of hay to cover the clay pot, so that the water vapor could evaporate a little slower, so that the water in the clay pot would not be burned dry too quickly.

"Chu Feng, the wood is running out, I'll go pick up some and come back." Liu Yimeng came out of the warehouse and said.

She had just gone to feed the rabbits and deer, and by the way brought some wood out for Chu Feng, but found that there were not many left.

"I'll go with you, the nearby wood is all picked up, you have to go farther." Chu Feng said softly.

"Good." Liu Yimeng nodded and found rope and wood knives.

"Don't go too far, you'll be able to have dinner soon." Yun Xin's voice came from inside the shelter.

"Got it." Chu Feng responded seriously.

The two walked towards the jungle, this time to the eucalyptus forest, where there were many dry barks on the ground, all of which had fallen off during the growth of eucalyptus trees.

The bark of eucalyptus trees is not growing, so whenever the eucalyptus tree grows in a circle, the original bark will be cracked, and it will automatically fall off after being exposed to the sun until it dries.
