Living in the Wilderness Becomes Stronger

Chapter 230 The Venom Star (For Order)
"Be careful, these plants are poisonous, give me the engineer shovel." Xu Yi said, and then pointed to some plants on the ground.

Lu Ke nodded, then took out the engineer shovel from Xu Yi's back basket and handed it to him.

These plants, Lu Ke, looked quite normal, but he didn't expect them to be poisonous.

"When you touch their juice, it will cause your skin to fester constantly. If the area is large, it is normal to lose limbs or even die." Xu Yi explained, because in his experience in identifying poisonous substances, There is information on this plant.

"This is so scary, what kind of plant is it?" Lu Ke's hairs stood on end after hearing Xu Yi's words.

Xu Yi carefully dug up a plant, and then said, "Venom Star, use it well, it's a weapon."

"Go and cut the flax. I'll dig out these Venom Stars." Xu Yi handed his machete to Lu Ke. There was indeed a piece of flax in front of him.

"Okay, then be careful, it's too dangerous to get on it." Lu Ke warned, after all Xu Yi said it was so scary.

"Well, this kind of thing is rare after all, I will be careful." Xu Yi said with a smile, he knew the horror of Venom Star, so he would be very careful.

Fortunately, its venom is in the leaves, and the liquid on the rhizome is not dangerous.

Otherwise, Xu Yi really didn't dare to dig.

"Cut two or three bundles, we won't be able to carry it back if there is too much." Lu Ke turned around and said to Xu Yi. After all, time is limited and it is impossible to waste too much time here.

Otherwise, we will not be able to reach the camp after dark.

"Well, come back tomorrow, we can save a lot of time once we confirm the location." Xu Yi replied without raising his head.He was digging a venom star out of the ground, and he didn't want to accidentally get venom on himself.

The reason why it took them so long to come here today is because they need to explore carefully, and when they encounter some plants, they have to stop to check whether they can be eaten or have medicinal value.

Naturally, it took a lot of time. If I came directly to cut flax tomorrow, I might be able to save about two hours.

"Thirteen trees, really lucky." Xu Yi grinned happily, and then put all these Venom Stars into his back basket.

Then, he and Lu Ke cut flax together.

After cutting 4 bundles, the two called it a day.

After all, it still takes a few hours to go back, and it is still under the condition of not being delayed.

On the way back, Lu Ke hit a rabbit with a short crossbow.

It was almost dark when we got back to camp.

"Lu Ke, you go to deal with the rabbit, I'll take down the strawberries." Xu Yi put down the linen and the basket, and was about to take down the strawberries on the roof.

Xu Yi felt that after being exposed to the sun for so long, the strawberries were almost dry.

"Don't you need my help?" Lu Ke asked after putting down his things.

"No, you don't need to take the dustpan off, just put it on it, I can do it myself." After saying this, Xu Yi stood up the ladder and put it on the top beam.

"Then be careful." Lu Ke warned, after all, it is six meters high, and it would be very dangerous if it fell.

"Don't worry, it's fine." Xu Yi said, and then climbed up.

After reaching the roof, Xu Yi found that the strawberry slices hadn't dried up, but most of them had rotted.

"Drying failed?" Xu Yi picked up a piece and smelled it, it had a sour smell.

None of the strawberry slices in the two round dustpans were dried successfully, which made Xu Yi a little depressed.

He originally thought that after two or three days in the sun, he could harvest some dried strawberries.It was a complete failure, not even a single dried strawberry.

So Xu Yi stacked the round dustpan together, and brought it back to the ground.

It was stained by strawberries and had to be cleaned.

"Xu Yi, why did you take down the round dustpan? The dried strawberries have already been dried?" Lu Ke said that the dried strawberries have already been dried, so he doesn't need to put the round dustpan on the roof, because there will be no need to continue drying tomorrow.

"No, it's all melted away, and it didn't dry out successfully." As he said that, Xu Yi took some leftover strawberries and showed Lu Ke a look.

"How could this be? The sun is very strong today." Lu Ke glanced at Xu Yi puzzled, after all, there were also dried strawberries for sale in the market.

"It should be that we used the wrong method. The strawberries have too much moisture." Xu Yi said while cleaning the round dustpan.

"But the grapes have a lot of water, don't we still turn them into raisins?" Lu Ke said.

"Grapes have skins and are not easy to soften. If we touch strawberries, they will soften and rot after a while. Therefore, it should be a different way. We have to get the water out first, and then we can dry them in the sun." Xu Yi thought seriously After a moment, he expressed his thoughts.

"That's it..." Lu Ke thought for a while, and felt that what Xu Yi said was quite reasonable, and then asked, "Then how can we get the moisture out of the strawberries?"

After all, with so many strawberries, it is impossible to eat them all if you eat them every day.If it is not dried and stored, it will be too wasteful.

After all, the two of them are Chinese.Unlike blacks, they would rather let it rot than think about how to preserve the fruit and save it for life-saving when needed.

"Salt or sugar should be fine, as long as the density is higher than water." Xu Yi said.

"Salt? It's okay that we have very little salt, which is enough for ordinary food. It would be too wasteful to use it to make dried strawberries. Sugar, we have honey, can this also be used?" Lu Ke was reluctant to use salt on this, after all If you want to go to the beach now, it will take at least one day and one night.

Their salt was given by Wang Jin and Lu Yao.

"You can try a small part of it. If it doesn't work, forget it." Even if they know that salt and sugar are used to dehydrate, they still don't know the specific production method.

"How about, let's exchange it for a book on making dried fruit. There are books in it that can be exchanged. I guess there is a book that specializes in making dried fruit." Lu Ke made a new suggestion.

She felt that it was a pity that the strawberries that could not be eaten had to be thrown away.

It is shameful to waste.

At least, that's how she thought it was.

"See if there are any, how many points." Xu Yi thinks, it's worthwhile to see if it's worth it.

"Okay, I'll look for it later." After speaking, Lu Ke washed the rabbit and lifted it out of the water.

Then, she chopped the rabbit into pieces and put them in the pot to cook.

Xu Yi also washed the round dustpan and returned to the stilted building.

Lu Ke fixed the rabbit skin, and then started to look it up with the star catalog.
