Wilderness Survival 365 Days

“Tread on the pedal…”

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

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

“So tired.” Liu Yimeng gasped and put the bamboo basket down.

Yun Xin heard the voice walk out of the shelter, looked at the sugar palm fruits piled up in the courtyard, like a hill, and said stunnedly: “Chu Feng, so many sugar palm fruits, it will break down after eating it, right?” ”

The dried fruit shell can also be used as firewood.

“Part of it is for eating, the rest is used to make sugar.” Chu Feng thought of sugar when he first saw the sugar palm fruit, because it rained last time, it was not convenient to bring more.

“Sugar?” Liu Yiqiu was stunned, can sugar palm fruit still make sugar?

She only knew that sugar cane and sugar beets could be made into white sugar together, but she did not know that sugar palm fruits could also be made.

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

The inflorescence and fruit of the sugar palm tree can be sugared, but the main part of sugar production is the juice of the inflorescence, but now this season, the inflorescence has long gone.

“Sugar palm fruit to sugar? So what to do? Yun Xin was curious and hurried over.

“Dig out the fruit inside and mash it, squeeze it out of the juice, then boil it to thicken and then dry it.” Chu Feng briefly said the steps, this is the simplest way to make sugar.

“So simple? Then I’ll try it. Yun Xin jumped to try, turned into the shelter, and took out the two steel pots.

“I’ll go get you a wooden stool.” Liu Yiqiu bent down into the shelter and folded the wooden stools together and took them out.

“Thanks.” Chu Feng laughed lightly, sat down on a wooden bench, and began to process the sugar palm fruit with a wood knife.

He held up a chai knife, cut one end of the sugar brown fruit, revealing a notch in the shape of a ‘囧’, and handed it to the girl.

Yun Xin took the cut sugar brown 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 was cutting open the sugar palm fruit faster and faster, and Liu Yiqiu and Yun Xin kept digging the flesh without stopping.

More than half an hour later, two steel pots were filled with the pulp of sugar palm fruit, and next to it were empty shells like a hill.

“How do I squeeze the pressure?” Yun Xin looked at his hands, did he want to pinch them one by one?

“Make an extruder.” Chu Feng thought for a moment and got up to find two pieces of bamboo, one end tied with rope.

After cleaning, put the pulp between the two bamboo pieces, and then pinch I tight on the other end, the two bamboo pieces squeeze each other I pressure, the flesh is crushed, there is a small amount of juice I water dripping down the bamboo pieces in the steel pot.

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

“This should still be edible.” Liu Yimeng looked at the squashed flesh.

“Okay, you taste?” Chu Feng took out the squashed flesh 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 on the flesh, and there was satisfaction on her face.

“The squeezed flesh will be used to cook sweet soup.” Yun Xin said softly, took the simple squeeze I pressure in Chu Feng’s hand, and began to squeeze the I pressure on the remaining flesh.

“Chu Feng, make another squeezer, I’ll help.” Liu Yimeng smashed it and smashed it.

“Okay.” Chu Feng laughed lightly, got up and found two more pieces of bamboo, it took less than ten minutes for the second extruder to be completed.

“There will always be a squeeze.” Liu Yimeng muttered, pressing the squashed flesh hard again, and a few drops of juice I water oozed out.

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

After more than an hour, the two women squeezed the flesh in the steel pot and pressed it, 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 the steel pot, put the steel pot on the fireplace, and began to boil it.

She held a bamboo spoon and stirred it constantly, preventing the bottom of the pot from burning.

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

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

“Okay.” Yun Xin answered softly, stuffed two pieces of wood into the fireplace, and then stood up and stirred it clockwise.

The juice in the steel pot became more and more viscous, and finally it became the shape of rice paste, and the color showed a faint yellow-brown, a bit like the color of coconut sugar.

“Okay, pour it into the 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.

“Okay.” Yun Xin hurriedly responded, carrying the steel pot and pouring the viscous syrup inside into the pottery bowl, just filling the bowl.

“Not quite a few.” Chu Feng laughed lightly, if the sugar production is successful, then the remaining sugar palm fruit can be cut back to make sugar.

“So sweet, it should have worked.” Yun Xin licked the syrup stuck to the bamboo spoon, which was much sweeter than eating sugar brown fruit alone.

“It should freeze at night.” Chu Feng said softly.

“Mm-hmm.” Yun Xin nodded slightly, took out the clay pot and filled it with some water in the water tank, and then carefully put the clay bowl into it and soaked it.

Doing so will make the syrup cool faster and solidify more easily.

Chu Feng walked out of the shelter and added new wood to the stove to make the flames burn more vigorously.

The water inside the clay pot had been boiling, and the eucalyptus bark had turned pale brown and tumbled in the boiling water.

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

“Chu Feng, the wood is almost used up, I’ll go pick up some and come back.” Liu Yimeng came out of the warehouse.

She had just gone to feed the rabbits and the fawn, and brought some wood out for Chu Feng, but found that there was not much left.

“I’ll go with you, the wood in the neighborhood is all picked up, you have to go farther.” Chu Feng said softly.

“Okay.” Liu Yimeng nodded and found a rope and a wood knife.

“Don’t go too far, you’ll be able to eat dinner soon.” Yun Xin’s voice came from inside the shelter.

“Got it.” Chu Feng responded seriously.

The two men walked into the jungle, this time to the eucalyptus forest, where there was a lot of dry bark on the ground, all of which had fallen off the eucalyptus trees during their growth.

The bark of eucalyptus trees has no growth, so whenever the eucalyptus grows a circle, the original bark will be cracked and will be exposed to the sun until it is dry, and then it will fall off automatically.
