Chapter 110 Taro
After the kiln was built, Ye Yan took Mo Qing with him to prepare for the next step.

The sea breeze is blowing, the leaves are shaking, and time is ticking by.The air is slightly distorted by the sun, mixed with the incense of various plants and trees, forming a unique smell, and it seems that there is no smell at all. It is a throbbing feeling that only belongs to the southern country. smell.

Ye Yan cut off the thickest bamboo joints among several sections of bamboo, with a diameter of about 9 centimeters and a height of 10 centimeters. There are 4 sections in total.Dig out one side of the bamboo wall, and use a knife to cut the edge smooth and round. This is the bamboo cup that Ye Yan's grandfather liked to use when he was a child.Take it naturally, conveniently and quickly.

It’s just that grandpa will also carve some patterns on the bamboo cups, such as dragon patterns, tigers and leopards, birds, or plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, etc., which are very beautiful.

According to the circle area formula, the area of ​​this cup is about 63.6 square centimeters, and multiplied by the height, the capacity of this cup is 636 milliliters, which is 636 grams of water.

Then Ye Yan cut off some larger bamboo joints, cut them into a small cover with a bottom about 5 cm high, and then thinned the bamboo wall inside along the opening. This step requires patience and care. , If it is too thin, the water will leak out.

That's right, Ye Yan wanted to make a portable water storage bottle.Bamboo is an almost universal tool, and water bottles made of this kind of bamboo are often seen on TV.But it was sealed with a cork, and Ye Yan didn't have such a thing with him.You can only try the method of using bamboo with bamboo.

Ye Yan carefully peeled off the bamboo wall bit by bit with the tip of a knife, but he didn't peel off all the edges, but left 6 small raised horizontal stripes, and the corresponding bamboo cups also had corresponding depressions , this is to make it more stable.

This step took Ye Yan about half an hour, so that the four bamboo tubes had corresponding lids.

Ye Yan ran to the beach in a panic, filled the bamboo tube with sea water, then closed the lid, turned it upside down, and tilted it. Except for a little water overflowing, there was no problem. Now you can carry emergency water on your body.

I gave two to Mo Qing and took them with me to set off to explore the forest.

……

Ye Yan went to the water source first, filled a few bamboo tubes with water, and hung them with a rope. It looked a little funny, but it could save lives at certain times.

Ye Yan looked around. The trees were entangled and shadowy. He glanced at the camera and said, "This island is uniquely endowed with half soil and half rock, but most of the rocks are hidden below. As for the clay, we have already found it." , you can see that it is not far from the water intake, and the soil there is darker in color."

Mo Qing also added: "We can still look for edible carbohydrates on the island, right?"

Ye Yan snapped his fingers: "That's right, if we're lucky, we should be able to find a plant similar to calla lily on this island, but it's edible."

The soil on tropical islands is mostly laterite, which is formed by the weathering of carbonates or other rocks containing iron and aluminum oxides in hot and humid climates. It is generally brownish red, with high moisture content, low density and high strength. , Soil with low compressibility.

Not a good material for making clay pots, but good for growing citrus.But fortunately, the soil on this island is darker in color, and there are only a few places with red soil. I don't know if it is because of the many trees.

Right now the kiln still needs to sit still for a while, Ye Yan plans to look for usable plants on the island first, otherwise coconuts alone will not be enough.

Along the stone wall, go left, the right has already been explored, is the east side of the island.

Big trees burst out of the ground, climbed along the stone wall, and propped up a giant green umbrella in the sky above their heads. With the sea breeze blowing the branches and leaves, the sun poured down, the tree shadows swayed, and the mottled shadows cast by the ground seemed to be activity up.

Ye Yan really likes seeing the shadows of trees projected on the ground, and he also likes summer. Everything makes him feel deeply intoxicated. This is an incommunicable, indescribable feeling that belongs only to him.

"rustle……"

The shoes slipped on the fallen leaves, and the light and shadow fell on Mo Qing's cheeks. She was wearing a green palm-leaf straw hat with a small white flower pinned to one side. Her long hair poured down and jumped in the forest, like a lost girl. elf.

Ye Yan glanced at her and couldn't help but smile, there seemed to be a faint fragrance floating in his nostrils.

After walking for more than 20 minutes, Ye Yan opened the bamboo tube, took a sip of water, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and opened his eagle eyes. There were no cheetahs around, only some fresh wild boar footprints exuding a faint smell. The red light, Hawkeye subconsciously identified it as the prey, but the red light of these footprints will dissipate soon.

Ye Yan didn't want to kill a wild boar anymore, the cheetah's meat was enough for now, he didn't want to eat jerky all the time.

Suddenly, Mo Qing stretched out a green jade finger: "Look, Ye Yan, there seems to be something there!"

Ye Yan subconsciously looked in the direction of Mo Qing's finger. Sure enough, there was a place with sparse trees in front of him. It was an open space with red soil, with a few plants growing on it, and his eyes lit up.

Those few plants have long sheath-like petioles, and the place where the leaves are connected is light purple, and the leaves are clustered on the top of the stem.The leaves look like an egg-shaped halberd, or a misshapen heart.Thick dark green veins are all over it, and the leaves are smooth. Ye Yan can be sure that the one in front of him is some kind of edible taro plant of the Araceae family.

Ye Yan can be sure that this will definitely not be a sea potato.

There is actually an extremely obvious difference between alocasia and edible taro, and that is the leaves.The leaves of calla lily have undulating surfaces, like mountains, and are particularly large.Edible taro leaves are smooth and do not have flowers like calla lilies.

Ye Yan walked up to these plants, stroked the leaves with his hands, and said, "Look, the leaves of this plant are very smooth, unlike the undulating calla lily. I think some friends in the south should have seen taro. The appearance of those taro is the same as these, although I am not sure what kind of taro this is, but the appearance is similar to those ordinary taro, so I think it should be edible."

"To be reasonable, the last time I saw Master De, he also ate this kind of taro. Anyway, nothing happened, but he ate the leaves raw, and 2333 was poisoned."

"Basically all Araceae plants are poisonous."

"The leaves of this plant contain alkaloids. If you eat too much, you will be poisoned. Generally, you will experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, and dehydration. You need to cook them before eating."

"They're all bosses, so I'll just watch the live broadcast quietly."

……

Ye Yan picked up a piece of dead wood from the ground, sharpened one end to break through the floor, and then dug the soil.Ye Yan was a little depressed, he should try to make a wooden shovel.

After digging for a full 10 minutes, these taro plants were finally dug out of the ground. Ye Yan counted them. There were 30 taro plants, large and small, but they were not very big. The largest one was only a little bigger than a fist, and they should grow soon .

However, tropical taro is very prolific, unlike those in the south of ZG, where there is only one taro tree, although it is very large.These tropical taro, if you give them a little fertilizer and time, they should be about the same as those in the mainland.

No matter what, Ye Yan smiled. Finally, he didn't waste his efforts. He could eat half of these and keep the other half. After careful management in the future, he should be able to cultivate a taro forest.

He searched for some materials on the spot, cut two banana leaves, wrapped the taro, and Ye Yan tied the banana leaves with a piece of rope, so that it was a simple package.

Ye Yan stood up, but his sword eyebrows suddenly raised. There seemed to be something strange in the grass over there.

　Thanks to the big brother Mo Se for the reward! !To be reasonable, Douyu really has a room number 1837490, if you are interested, you can go to meow haha.I'm really sorry about the question about chapter water, I will try my best to correct it.
