After entering the bird tribe, I want to farm

The slope of the third mountain is very gentle, and the whole mountain looks like a lying giant.

This mountain is in the territory of the Ying tribe, but it is quite far away from the Ying tribe. Usually, few people come here. When Bai Wu and Nanyao came here, there was no one around.

Bai Wu and Nan Yao arranged their family affairs, came early in the morning, flew directly to the mountainside, and landed in front of the broad-leaved tree they were looking for.

Each of these broad-leaved trees is very large, with extremely thick trunks and smooth bark. Only the tops have huge leaves that are bigger than banana leaves, like mills with windmills.

Bai Wu walked in front of the broad-leaf tree, and found that a person of his stature needed at least five people holding hands to encircle the tree.

"It's too big." Bai Wu stretched out his hand and pressed the surface of the bark, only to feel that it was cold and smooth, "How do we get the membrane from the inner layer of the bark?"

"Just use a knife to cut a circle, and then tear it up." Nan Yao waved his hand, signaling Bai Wu to stand further away.

Bai Wu took out the knife from the basket on his back, "I will cut it with you."

Bai Wu put the basket farther away, found a good place to strike, and inserted the tip of the knife straight into the tree trunk with a little force.

As the tip of the knife sank into the tree trunk with a "poof", a yellow translucent juice gushed out, followed by a unique bitter smell, which smelled a bit choking.

Nan Yao said: "Don't get the sap on your body, it's hard to wash off."

"It's too late to remind." Bai Wu stretched out his hand to Nanyao, and held it up to show him, "I accidentally got a little on my hand, the sap is so sticky."

"It's very sticky. Someone accidentally got it on their body before, and it couldn't be washed off after many washes. It doesn't matter to you, just don't get it on again."

Bai Wu put his hand under his nose and smelled it, and assured him: "I will be more careful."

The two men cut a half circle around the tree and took off a piece of bark bigger than a dining table for four.

The bark is as thick as two fingers put together, and there are many gaps when viewed from the side, and it is these gaps that are filled with juice.

Bai Wu and Nanyao worked together to turn the bark over, the inside of the bark was white, cold and flexible to the touch, a bit like touching the skin of some kind of animal.

Bai Wu asked: "What should I do now? Just take off the film?"

Nan Yao responded, picked up the edge of the bark with the tip of the knife, cut the edge little by little, then grabbed the cut layer of membrane, and tore the whole layer of membrane on it with all his strength.

It seemed that he was struggling when he tore it, Bai Wu hurried over to help, the two of them stepped on the bark and tore it hard, and after a while, they got a thick roll of bark.

"Good guy!" Bai Wu grabbed the outer side of the bark and pulled it, using all his strength to not tear the bark apart, "This is too flexible, much more flexible than I imagined."

"Cut a little bit and take it back to try. If it works, we will cut it tomorrow."

"Should we deal with it and scrub the side that is stained with sap? Or let's put it in the stream to soak?"

"Put it in the pot and boil it for a try."

"Alright, if the cooking doesn't work, try putting it in the stream."

The way they deal with items is very simple now, either soak them in water, throw them in a pot to cook, or hang them in the sun to dry.

Whether soaking or cooking, you can put lime and salt to change the nature of the material.

This time too, Bai Wu and Nanyao would first throw the bark into the pot for initial steaming, and after steaming, they would find no effect, and then they would think of other ways.

Boiling the bark pollutes the pot a lot. Bai Wu specially found a broken pottery pot, stuffed the bark film into the pot, filled the pot with water, and put the pot into the newly built pot. On the firepit.

Chuan helped them watch the fire outside.

There was a special smell from the boiled bark, and after they had boiled it for a while, the smell wafted over the whole mountain.

I don't know if it's because of more water, but the faint smell of the bark is not too bad.

Bai Wu was preparing today's dinner in the kitchen. They searched the woods for a day and gathered a lot of mushrooms, wild vegetables and wild fruits. These wild vegetables taste better when they are fresh.

He was concentrating on processing the ingredients, and the smell of tree bark wafted in, which seemed a bit like aromatherapy.

Bai Wu raised her head and sniffed, smelling the smell in the air, and asked Nanyao, "It doesn't seem to smell bad? It smells much better than raw bark."

"It's not that choking."

"Yes. Do you think it is possible to add this fragrance to soap to make a new soap? I think that if the tree sap is applied to a person, it will stay on the person for a long time. Maybe it will have the same effect when made into soap."

"You can do a little bit first in small batches."

Their soaps are made with essential oils, which smell great and are very refreshing to use, the only thing is that the fragrance is not long-lasting.

Everyone regrets this characteristic of soap, but Baiwu has been struggling for a long time, and there is no way to improve it.

It would be a blessing if the leaves could be used on soap.

The more Bai Wu thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible, and he didn't prepare any meals, so he wiped his hands on the apron, and said to Nan Yao, "I'll go out and have a look."

Nan Yao went out with him.

Seeing them, Chuan asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

"Yafu, do you think the smell of the leaves is a bit strange?"

"Isn't that what it smells like?"

The smell of this broad-leaved tree is actually a bit like pine needles, but there is one point, it is a fragrance that Baiwu has never touched before.

Bai Wu took the broken spoon beside her and skimmed off the froth in the pot.

The pot has been boiled for a long time, the water in the pot has turned yellowish brown, and there are still a few yellow oily spots floating on the water surface, a bit like bird soup.

It seems that the oil content on the leaves is quite a lot.

Bai Wu stirred it with a spoon, and found that the mesophyll on the bark membrane had basically been boiled.

He carefully picked up the bark film, pinched the cooler edge of the bark film, and found that the bark film was more like skin texture.

Chuan asked, "Is it ready?"

"It's probably about the same. Take it out and let it cool for a try. If it doesn't work, return it to the pot and cook it again."

"Go ahead, I'll clean the pot."

"Wait, Yafu, don't wash the pot. Put this pot of water here to cool down and try."

"Drying water for what?"

"Yafu, don't you think this water is particularly fragrant?"

"I don't think so... Isn't this the smell of leaves?"

"I think it's quite fragrant, maybe it can be mixed with other spices."

"Okay, then I'll put it here, if you're free, go make it yourself."

Bai Wu and Nanyao came out to look at the bark membrane after eating, and found that the side of the bark membrane that was close to the flesh was slippery, put it in a wooden basin, brushed it with grass, and the slippery substance could be brushed off, and the rest was Soft and thick translucent bark membrane.

Bai Wu pulled it, the boiled bark membrane was slightly less tough than the raw bark membrane, but it was by no means a material that could be easily torn apart.

For a purely natural substance, this performance is really amazing.

Catching Nanyao's gaze, before Nanyao could speak, Bai Wu immediately said, "It works, we can start building the utility room by cutting a few more pieces tomorrow."

"Then we can go out early tomorrow to cut."

"Okay, let's go to the Eagle Clan and order some cement lime from them?"

"Okay, I'll tell the Long-tailed people again and let them come over and help build the cellar when they have time."

The cellar they are going to build is relatively large. For safety reasons, they have to build load-bearing columns in the cellar and build walls around it. They need a lot of building materials, and they have to make reservations from various tribes.

Fortunately, the orcs have great strength and high work efficiency. Now the construction period for making cement, masonry and other materials is not long.Otherwise, even if they want to change, they have no place to change.

The two stood in front of the bark membrane and briefly discussed the matter of building the cellar.

By the way, Bai Wu wrote down their thoughts in a portable notebook.

Their characters are square characters specially created by combining the characters here, and Nan Yao also knows them. After he finished writing, he added a few more points.

After finishing writing, Bai Wu put the notebook into the animal skin bag that he carried with him, and went to look at the boiled leaf water that was left to cool.

After the leaf water cools down, the fragrance is not very obvious, and the color has turned into a translucent brown, but there are a few pieces of solidified light yellow fat floating on the water surface, like chicken fat, which looks quite attractive.

Bai Wu stretched out his hand to touch it, and found that the oil was not very sticky.

"Huh?" Bai Wu's eyes widened, and she put her fingers under her nose and sniffed lightly.

"What's the matter?" Nan Yao asked, leaning over to smell it with him.

"It's not sticky anymore." Bai Wu's eyes lit up, "Touch it, it doesn't seem sticky at all, just like ordinary grease."

"Huh? In this way, can it be used as ordinary oil?"

"I think so too! Tell me, can it be used to make soap?"

"Aren't we going to peel off the mulch tomorrow morning? Let's bring back some more leafy flesh."

Bai Wu couldn't wait to know whether the oil from the leaves could be used to make soap, and the next morning, he didn't even have time to eat, so he took Nan Yao and the two porpoises to Dao Sanshan.

There are a lot of broad-leaved trees on Pousan Mountain. They directly cut more than a dozen pieces of bark, regardless of whether the juice would be sticky or stain their clothes, so they tied up the bark and carried them down the mountain. The dolphin was transported with them.

They worked for a long time and didn't get home until noon.

Nanyao went out to other tribes to order materials, but Baiwu didn't go anywhere. He peeled off the bark film, cut the bark into several pieces, and put them in clay pots to cook.

The bark film is the same as yesterday. After a short period of high heat, the flesh on the film will be soft and smooth, and then the mesophyll can be easily brushed off.

But the speed of cooking the bark meat to produce fat is not fast. The Baiwu has skimmed off the foam several times, and when it is cooked until evening, the fat obtained is only the bottom of a bowl.

He stretched out his hand and squeezed, but he could feel that there was still oil in the soft boiled bark, and his fingers were slippery from the oil.

The bark must have been cut into too large pieces, Bai Wu thought, he could take it to the water pestle tomorrow, pound it until it was rotten, and bring it up for cooking.
