Stranded on a Deserted Island, What to Do?

After threshing, the oil palm fruit needs to be crushed to separate the pulp from the kernel.The oil extracted from the pulp is palm oil, and the oil extracted from the kernel is palm kernel oil.

Baizhen made a simple mortar to crush the oil palm fruit, and Hua Mu was responsible for separating the pulp and kernels.Palm kernel oil is more troublesome to make, and it doesn't make much sense at the moment, so let's just take the pulp part for the time being.

It took the two of them two days to complete this part, and the materials for making the pancakes were also selected.Sun-dried banana leaves work best together with palm leaves, which can withstand a lot of impact.

Before pressing the oil, the crushed pulp needs to be steamed for an hour, and after it comes out of the oven, it is wrapped into oil cakes and put into the oil tank while it is still hot.For the first time, the two made five oil cakes, which add up to almost ten kilograms.

After steaming and boiling, beating and carrying, Baizhen didn't feel much, and Hua Mu was already exhausted.Although she was no longer a slender noble lady after eight months, such high-intensity hard work was still too much for her.

As soon as the pancakes were loaded, she slumped directly on the recliner. Baizhen opened a coconut for her, beat her back and rubbed her legs, and it took her a while to recover.

"too tired……"

Hua Mu drank the coconut juice in one go, and sighed heavily.

"You take a good rest next time, I'll just come."

Adding it is to extract oil, and Hua Mu can't help much at first.

"The working people in the past were really hard. My waist is almost broken."

"The main reason is that there are only two of us, and we had a common machine in our home village. Like cooking oil, we work together and distribute according to work, which is much faster than this."

Although Hua Mu knew that the Black Eyed Clan was primitive, she really didn't expect it to be so primitive.

"Have you been in these since you were a kid? I remember you saying you were 12 when you came to the Tari."

"If there are adults in the family, generally children don't need to participate in these village labors. But..."

But of course Hua Mu knew that Bai Zhen was an orphan, and if she didn't go to the house, no one could go, so naturally she couldn't distribute anything.

She felt a little distressed, and felt that she had poked the sore spot of the white pillow. She held her hand and didn't know what to say for a while.

Bai Zhen smiled, and comforted him in turn: "Actually, if you don't go, you won't get something. There are public supplies in the village... It can be regarded as a kind of fund, and it will provide certain help for families who have lost their prime. But I I grew up faster since I was a child, since I can support myself, I shouldn’t take up this part of the resources.”

Hua Mu thought back to her 12-year-old... No, before this disaster, she hadn't suffered anything for 18 years.

"It turns out that what was said in the book is true. It says that you black pupils are closer to a state of communism because of your primitiveness. But what I can't understand is why you have been living in the rainforest and are unwilling to come out? The empire was established more than 100 years ago. The relocation plan has been proposed, and the conditions given are very favorable even now."

It's not that Bai Zhen didn't think about such a problem after entering the tower. Compared with the outside world, the Henan Rainforest is completely like another world.Because of such doubts, she also went to check some history.

"Actually, it wasn't that the black-eyed clan agreed to relocate, and some clansmen did integrate into the outside world. But..." Bai Zhen pointed to his eyes, "Miss, you may not know that my appearance is not Not a typical image of the black-eyed clan, but because I do have jet-black pupils, the clansman accepted me very easily. In the eyes of the black-eyed clan, black eyes are the channel for the gods to observe the world, while the black-eyed clan He is the spokesperson of the gods, so black pupils are more important than anything else. But even if the black pupils who relocated to the outside world do not intermarry with other tribes, the offspring will soon have a situation where the color of the pupils will fade. And as if it is a curse, the pupils The offspring with pale color are often in very bad physical condition, with a high mortality rate, but the offspring of intermarriage can grow up healthily."

"Those clansmen who wished to keep their bloodlines eventually returned to the Henan Rainforest, while those clansmen who intermarried with other races stayed outside, gradually no longer retaining the characteristics of the Black Eyes clan, and completely integrated into modern life."

Although Hua Mu had learned about the Heitong clan because of Baizhen, it was the first time he had heard such secrets.

"Is there such a strange thing? Is there no way to explain it with science?"

"In the past, some scholars tried to give an explanation, such as research from diet, climate, and genetic diseases. It's just that the black-eyed people thought that they had offended the gods after the incident, so few people were willing to cooperate with the research. Of course, the result was It's over."

Hua Mu lived in a civilized society since she was a child, and the education she received made her have no racial prejudice, so it was difficult to understand the choice of the black pupil clan.However, which way to live is a matter of personal freedom. Hua Mu is only thankful that Bai Zhen awakened as a sentinel and came to her.

"Fortunately, we are not of the same race, otherwise the baby would be unhealthy. It's a pity that the eyes can't be like yours. Black eyes are so beautiful."

Hua Mu spoke naturally, but Bai Zhen was completely stunned.

The pregnancy rate of sentinels and guides is lower than that of ordinary people. Although there is a possibility of pregnancy between the same sex under the influence of the spiritual body, the probability is lower, and it often takes a long time to prepare for successful conception.

Bai Zhen seems to be indulgent these days, but in fact, he has been paying attention to avoiding the possibility of this kind of thing happening.Regardless of short-term or long-term considerations, she does not think it is a good thing for Hua Mu to become pregnant.

She doesn't want offspring if she can.

"Miss..."

Probably because Hua Mu was still young, she always felt that having offspring was far away from the two of them, so she never discussed this matter.

After seeing Bai Zhen stunned, Hua Mu realized that she had spoken very unreservedly. She felt ashamed and annoyed at the same time, and changed the topic clumsily.

"Ahem, cough, I'm just talking casually, oh, you can go to press the oil, so that you don't get cold later."

"Um……"

Bai Zhen didn't know how to speak, and he didn't express his thoughts in the end.

Seeing Bai Zhen turn around to go to work, Hua Mu couldn't help covering her face, almost rolling in shame.

How long have the two been together, why did he suddenly talk about the child?

Blame the white pillow, why talk about future generations!

Ah, but, but since both of them are equivalent to getting married, isn't it normal to have children?She didn't know anything else, but she knew very well that same-sex sentries and guides could have offspring.

Although she is still a little young, it is not convenient to get pregnant on the island, but isn't there a future?It's too late to think about it when the time comes, she shouldn't think about it earlier!

Hua Mu had to do a lot of mental construction to suppress her shame. When she looked up again, she saw Bai Zhen inserting a wedge into the gap between the wooden blocks.

Five oil cakes are placed side by side in the oil tank, and wooden blocks are plugged on one side of the oil cakes. The ram hits the triangular wedges embedded in the wood blocks to exert pressure on the oil cakes and squeeze out the liquid in the fruit.

Raw materials such as rapeseed have a step of drying and frying, and generally what is squeezed out is relatively pure oil.However, oil palm fruit is not suitable for this process. After being boiled and crushed, the fruit still contains a lot of water, and what is squeezed out is a mixture of oil and water.

Looking at Bai Zhen's busy back, Hua Mu couldn't help but start to run wild.

After confirming that the wedge would not fall out after being inserted into the gap, the sentry went to the ram to test the angle and force for a while.The ram hit the wedge and made a loud noise, which made Hua Mu's heart sway.

Everything is ready, and the white pillow has officially started.

The sentinel was tall and well-built, and the lean muscles on his arms and back were clearly visible due to the force.

Hua Mu has deeply experienced the strength of those arms, and also felt the strength of that waist many times.

As the white pillow swayed, the bumper smashed against the wedges again and again, and the triangular wedges soon began to gradually get embedded in the gaps between the wooden blocks.The narrow gaps are gradually opened by the wedges, but the wooden blocks are getting tighter and tighter, gradually putting pressure on the oil cake.

Once, twice... After about dozens of impacts, the oil cake began to ooze orange-red juice from around it.The viscous juice grew more and more due to the continuous impact, and began to drip from the gap under the oil tank.

The dripping oil gathered on the inclined oil tank under the oil tank and slowly flowed into the crock.

This kind of work is obviously not difficult for Bai Zhen. Hua Mu saw that she didn't even breathe. After inserting a wedge completely into the gap, she changed another position and continued to work.

The oil-water mixed liquid is continuously squeezed out of the oil cake, with obvious heat.Because palm oil has a high melting point, it must be extracted while the fruit is still warm.

Because the gap is getting smaller and smaller, the white pillow has to move faster and faster each time, and the force of the ram hitting the wedge is getting stronger and stronger.

Hua Mu couldn't help feeling envious when he heard the crash.

This wedge is too happy, right?

To be hit by the white pillow like this, apart from her, there are only these few pieces of wood.The white pillow is also true, it's so erotic and sexy to squeeze oil, how can she control it!

It was not until the wedge could no longer be inserted that the sentinel finally stopped working.The earthen jar was half full, and the oil and water were clearly stratified due to cooling. The floating oil layer on the top was an orange-red solid-liquid mixture.

This tank of oil-water mixture also needs to be heated and boiled. After standing still, the oil, water and impurities are separated and then the upper oil layer is poured out.The obtained oil layer will be heated again until there are no more bubbles in it to be considered as real palm oil, and it can enter the next step of fractionation.

What Baizhen mainly wants to experiment with is the time required for each step.

Seeing that Baizhen was finally finished, Hua Mu hurriedly shouted at her, "White pillow!"

"What's the matter, Miss?"

Bai Zhen did a lot of work, and the haze caused by the previous conversation has dissipated.

Hua Mu twitched a bit, but she still couldn't overcome her desire.

"Ahem, cough, I, I'm tired, I want to take a nap."

Bai Zhen raised his eyebrows, "Do you need me to carry you back?"

Hua Mu immediately opened her arms, "You sleep with me."

The author has something to say: it's just oil.
