Treasure Hunt Tycoon

Liricus beckoned to Abodu, who was cooking on the fire. He said a few words in Zulu. Abodu nodded silently and walked quickly.

Sophie looked at the lion hunter and asked in a tentative tone: "What are they looking for? Woman gold? This is a kind, um a kind of herbs?"

She was born in Keban, a western medicine practitioner, and is no stranger to herbal medicine. Western medicine is not only good at chemical synthesis, but also good at extracting medicine from vegetation.

The lion hunter drew out a cigar, cut it, and said, "Yes, a woman's gold. She should be named shea butter? That's a good thing."

Sophie asked worriedly, "Is it reliable? Don't get me wrong, I'm not questioning your traditional medicine, it's just my fiance. I have to be careful."

The lion hunter lit the cigar and spit out his smoke. He laughed: "I know, I understand, you can rest assured, it is very reliable, I see more UV poisoning, shea butter can fix it in a few minutes.

Sophie was surprised: "So fast?"

The lion hunter nodded and didn't speak again, but put on a posture waiting to speak with facts.

Li Du asked: "What is this woman's gold, or shea butter? I don't know much about it."

In his heart, he trusted Sophie's specialty more, and he didn't want to try to treat skin diseases with something he hadn't heard. What should I do if it worsens?

In the end, Mr. Li is not a fierce man who is not afraid of death. At his value, who has the power of a small flying insect, who would not be afraid of death?

But he is not good at directly rejecting the kindness of the lion hunter, this black guy is quite overbearing.

"Rest assured, this thing is absolutely useful. It is actually a kind of food, which is rich in oil and fat. It is relatively rare in South Africa and more in some countries in North Africa."

He knew Li Du and Su Fei's concerns, so he introduced the plant in detail.

What really protects Li Du's skin is not shea butter, but the fruit of shea butter.

Like baobabs, this tree can grow very tall, it can normally grow to fifteen meters high, its trunk diameter can exceed one meter, and its life span is about 200 to 300 years.

Because of their longevity and tallness, they are worshipped as **** trees in some tribes in North Africa.

Shea can grow fruit with seeds in it. They bloom from December to April and mature from May to September. Then there will be a large seed inside.

The flesh is edible, and the seeds can be peeled to squeeze the fat, which is often used to make sialy, a skin care product that European nobles once liked.

There are relatively few shea butter in South Africa, and the Zulu people have related legends that shea butter is guarded by an invisible and magical force and can avoid evil and drive away evil, so the life cycle can last for hundreds of years.

They encountered some tall trees on the road, that is, shea. At that time, it was not necessary, so the lion hunter and others did not go to pick the shea. Now Li Du has a skin problem, and Abodu decided to go back and pick the fruit.

The reason why shea was not picked at the time was just in case, because the shea in South Africa was small, and the local tribes banned people from picking shea arbitrarily unless it was really needed.

After listening to the introduction of the lion hunter, Li Du put his heart down.

He had a new question, saying: "Since there are relatively few shea butter in South Africa, why not transplant some? Is the climate and soil not suitable for them to grow?"

The lion hunter nodded: "There are reasons for this, but there are more reasons because the people in the tribe are too stupid to know how to cultivate such trees."

Having said that, he again showed a look of scorn and ridicule.

Li Du is also convinced. He feels that the lion hunter looks down on his tribe. This guy himself has racial discrimination against black people.

There is another reason why South Africa has not cultivated shea butter on a large scale. There is a legend in the African continent that only women can get close to shea butter, but men cannot.

If there is shea butter in the tribe, it is entirely up to the woman to plant and cultivate, and it is also up to the woman to extract shea butter.

Because the production of shea butter is a unique business of African women, and this raw material is a skincare treasure for women, the shea butter is known locally as "woman's gold".

This legend has been ignored in modern times, and men will also approach this plant. For example, Abodu went to pick shea nuts.

The two sides were resting here, and Abodu hurried back with some fruit.

Back at the camp, the two of them began to extract the fruit oil by hand.

Li Du curiously looked at these shea nuts in an oval shape, ranging from five to eight centimeters in length.

The two black men cut the fruit with a small knife and cut off the yellow-white flesh for collection, revealing the seeds inside.

This thing is similar to lychee, the seed is very large, the maximum length is 5 cm and the width is 4 cm, which is already as big as the smaller fruit.

Sophie, Wolf and others came up to help, and they had to speed up.

The first is to peel off the shell of the kernel. Generally, after drying, the stone is broken with a hammer or a small hammer to remove the seeds.

There is no time now ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Wolf brother and Big Iwan use a sharp knife to cut the kernel into four pieces, then take out the seeds.

Next to mash the seeds, Liricas carried a stone bowl with him. He put the seeds and some herbs into it and pounded them with a small stone mortar.

The shea seeds are very strong. He pounded them for a while and didn't smash them. Godzilla pushed him away and started himself.

Liricas needed to place a stone bowl on the ground and hold him in his hand. He held the stone mortar '咣 咣 咣' in the other hand and chiseled it. It didn't take long to crush the seeds.

In this way, Liricas went to prepare for the next step, he burned a red wok, poured the thin shea butter seeds, and quickly stirred until the shea butter was boiled out.

Because the iron pot itself has become red, under the high temperature, the shea butter seeds produced some smoke inside the pot.

The lion hunter told Li Du that the good shea butter has a bit of smoke because the naturally processed shea seeds produce smoke.

With the high temperature and agitation, the seeds of shea butter gradually melted. Seeing this, Liricas poured some transparent slime into it and boiled it with high heat.

Gradually, the shea seeds after mixing the mucus turned into a creamy paste, which gradually divided into the back, the upper layer was ivory white, the beige was down, and the bottom was golden yellow.

After being boiled for an hour, this pot of shea butter was finally boiled. After Liricus poured it into Liangyin, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Well, wait, woman's gold. "

Li Du squatted to observe, shea butter at this time was not quite the same as normal liquid vegetable oil.

It shows a semi-solid form at room temperature, a bit like cream, with a bit of smoke, and it is still divided into three colors and gradually solidifies.
