The Priest Who Travels Through the Beast World Comes

Two days later.

Chu Li walked around the installed stone reel full of joy, and even reached out to pat it, "Not bad, it looks quite imposing."

Everyone gathered around to look at the stone reel, this new thing.

Chisel Teeth said enthusiastically, "High Priest, how do you use this stone reel?"

Chu Li pushed the top long pole, and when he pushed, the shaft ends between the two boulders were chiseled with concave-convex gears that matched each other, and one turned to drive the other to turn.

The joint of the two shafts is straight and round, airtight and tightly sealed.

"Put the cane in the closet."

Ao Zhan acted immediately.

Chu Li pushed the long pole again, clamping the sugarcane in the close joint, that is, passing between the two shafts.

The sugarcane is also moving to the opposite side while being squeezed out of the juice, and there is no need to push it manually.

Sugar cane juice runs down a slightly sloping groove on one side.

The chisel teeth end a shell and continue there.

The sugarcane juice is crystal clear like water, but the juice contains sugar and is a little viscous.

Li Chang couldn't help sighing, "Now you don't need to chew the sugar cane, you can drink the juice inside."

Chu Li squeezed out the juice from a sugarcane, and Ao Zhan took the long pole, "I'll try."

Ao Zhan thought it was very light, but he didn't expect it to be so heavy. He has enough strength, so he had to push hard to move it.

Chu Li smiled when he saw him beside him, "Ao Zhan, it takes a bull to push this thing for a long time, but humans can't do it, it's too heavy."

Li Chang didn't understand, "What is a bull?"

"It's the cattle of the same ancestor as the bison. That kind of cattle are shorter and specialize in this kind of work that requires strength. Their strength is at least four to five hundred catties."

Everyone said in unison, "Oh, it turns out that the bull is like this."

Ao Zhan also crushed a piece of sugar cane, and after that, everyone went up to experience it one by one.

Li Chang and the others are alright, with great strength. People in the seaside tribes eat low-calorie meat such as fish. Their muscles are underdeveloped and their strength is not very strong.

After pressing, all the people present also tasted the sugarcane juice that they were looking forward to.

This mild and sweet taste is welcomed by most people. Chu Li estimates that children will like it very much, but they should not eat too much, as it is easy to develop tooth decay.

Chu Li chased people away, "Leave five strong people here to help me press the sugarcane juice, and the others go to their own affairs."

Everyone experienced the strength of a stone reel, turned around and walked away with self-knowledge.

The five left are Ao Zhan, Jubi, Shuhai, Yingzhao, and Limu.

Li Chang and the others wanted to stay, but they couldn't compete with the four of them, so they left in the end.

Chu Li immediately raised his head and rubbed his temples, he had a terrible headache.

Ao Zhan swept his eyes, "I'll go get the barrel."

The wooden barrel was made by Chu Li in the past two days.

The tribes by the sea eat fish every day, and the swim bladders are so large that they are dried in the sun for a day, until they are all crispy, and then made into a paste.

The wooden barrel is spliced ​​with wooden blocks, and then glued together with a bonding agent, and the outside is tightened with bamboo slices. The bonding agent is very strong. As long as the wooden barrel is not beaten hard, the wooden barrel will not be broken.

With everyone's joint efforts, dozens of them have been made, and some of the tribes around the Shanhai tribe have been divided.

"I will go with you."

Four voices sounded behind him at the same time, "Let's go too."

In fact, the wooden barrel was placed about ten meters away, and it could be seen at a glance. It had to be made to look far away, and Chu Li was speechless.

After getting the barrels, everyone took turns pressing sugarcane juice starting from Ao Zhan.

Before pressing, one person lifts the water, two people wash it, and one person removes the sugarcane to the stone reel, so the labor is divided.

One bundle and one round, three sugarcanes are pressed at the same time, three times, after three times, the sugarcane is basically free of juice.

Put the bagasse aside, and burn it while boiling the sugar. It contains sugar, and it is easier to burn if it is wet.

After the sugarcane juice is filled to the brim, it is brought to the Qionghai Tribe, and when enough sugarcane juice has accumulated, it will be boiled.

Everyone can never imagine how good Chu Li's luck is.

Boiling sugar requires a large pot, and without a pot, sugar cannot be made no matter what.

He took everyone to look for big stones in the nearby forest, but he couldn't find them, so he went to various tribes to ask if they had seen any stones that could be used as pots, and asked around, but the reply was no, he was in a bad mood, so he went to By the sea, I plan to relax.

As a result, the sea water washed him up with a large turtle shell.

How big is that tortoise shell? It's about 1.5 meters in diameter. It's bigger than he imagined, and it's extremely hard.

At the moment of Chu Li, he could only thank the sea so much, a feeling of being rescued from a desperate situation.

He carried the big tortoise shell on his back and slowly returned to the tribe.

At that time, everyone thought that the big tortoise had come to the coast.

In this way, the sugar making process can be carried out smoothly.

Now the big tortoise shell is placed on the flat ground of the Qionghai tribe, on top of the big stone stove.

The sugarcane juice was poured into the turtle shell cauldron bucket by bucket. When it reached two-thirds of the position, the pouring stopped and the fire started.

If there are too many, the stove will collapse.

Hei Ling took care of the fire, "High Priest, how long does it take to make sugar?"

"I'm not too sure about this. It's my first time making sugar, and now it's an exploratory stage. I'll know when I have experience."

"I understand."

Strained the sugar cane juice through a fine sieve before pouring it into the pot and it looks clean now.

During the heating process, the juice gradually oxidizes and turns yellow, and as the cooking time increases, the color gradually deepens and turns brown.

At the same time, the juice slowly began to bubble out, and the water evaporated and slowly concentrated.

"Do you smell sugar cane?"

Hei Ling sniffed and said, "At first it was the scent of sugarcane juice, but now it doesn't smell like it, it has a sweet feeling."

Chu Li smiled and said, "The sense of smell is very sensitive." While talking, he used a thin colander to stir the sugar juice to prevent it from sticking to the pan.

After the barrel was filled with juice and carried to the tribe, Ao Zhan and the other five stood by and watched.

By then the first pot of sugar cane juice had been half concentrated.

Ao Zhan couldn't help being curious, "Chu Li, what will this juice look like in the end?"

"It turns into syrup, which is still a liquid, and when it cools it turns into a solid. At that time it was called brown sugar."

Shu Hai is very fond of sweetness, "How do you eat brown sugar?"

"There are many ways to eat it. It can be directly added to water and dissolved into sugar water to drink, it can be made into cold cakes, and if there is rice, it can also be eaten..." He casually said seven or eight kinds.

He has found limestone, and many snacks that need alkaline solution can be made casually.

After hearing this, everyone swallowed their saliva together. There are really many ways to eat.

Black Ridge captures the name of this fresh food like, "What is rice?"

"A kind of food, but I haven't seen it yet, maybe in the future."

Hei Ling actually wanted to ask, since he had never seen it, how would he know?

But he didn't ask this question, worried that Chu Li would find him annoying.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the sugarcane juice gradually turned into syrup, and one after another dense bubbles popped up and burst, followed by a sweet and greasy taste.

"Hei Ling, it's alright, anneal."

"Okay." Hei Ling put out the fire immediately.

Chu Li spooned the thick enough syrup into a rectangular groove made of wooden boards, one meter long, half a meter wide, and five centimeters high, and let it stand.

"When the syrup cools, it solidifies."

The eyes of the few people were full of curiosity, Chu Li's things are getting more and more advanced now.

Then make the second pot of brown sugar.

After pouring the sugarcane juice into the pot, Ao Zhan and others continued to squeeze the juice, while Hei Ling continued to burn.

until evening.

Made six boards of brown sugar.

The three boards of brown sugar made in the morning have been solidified. Judging from the color and hardness, it is very successful.

Chu Li cut the first plate of brown sugar into small pieces with a stone knife, and fed some of the chopped brown sugar to Ao Zhan, "Taste it."

Ao Zhan was not prepared in his heart. After the brown sugar melted in his mouth, it felt as if he had fallen into the sugar. It was so sweet.

"Chu Li, no wonder you said you want to dissolve it in water to make sugar water to drink. It's so sweet that no one would dare to eat it directly."

As soon as these words came out, Jubi and the four wanted to show their strength in front of Chu Li.

They picked up a piece of candy and ate it.

Originally, I wanted to say that it wasn't sweet, but no matter how against their will, they couldn't say anything that wasn't sweet.

He quickly swallowed it, and took a few mouthfuls of water.

Finally relieved the sweetness in the mouth.

Chu Li and Ao Zhan looked at each other, no one was robbing them, why are you in such a hurry?

After cutting all the solid brown sugar into small pieces, Chu Li gave Hei Ling two palm-sized pieces, thanking him for helping him light the fire today.

The rest of the brown sugar, which still needs to be cooled, was moved to the cave and will be processed tomorrow.

After that, everyone cleaned up and went back to the Shanhai Tribe.

When he left, he took the big tortoise shell with him, and Chu Li wanted to take it back for cooking. Now this is his favorite treasure, and he can't put it down.

After Chuli picked up the big turtle shell, those who wanted to learn Chuli's cooking all went to the sea to find the turtle shell.

The tortoise shell is hard, not easy to rot, neither light nor heavy, and the inside is smooth, so it is especially suitable for making pots.

Those who had already picked up the shells immediately took out the shells and tried to cook them.

As a result, many people ate cooked food other than barbecue, which led to an unprecedented high enthusiasm for cooking in the past few days, and some tribes were scented by the smell of food.

……

Shanhai tribe.

On the flat ground, in the turtle-shaped cauldron, a pot of delicious braised moose meat was bubbling and bubbling, and the fragrance spread, and the whole tribe could smell it.

When Chu Li and the others returned to the tribe, everyone in the tribe had eaten.

Thanks to Chu Li's good luck, people in the tribe went to the sea to pick up several turtle shells, but none of them were as big as Chu Li's, but the food made at one time was enough for the whole tribe, and everyone was like a baby Look at the turtle shell.

The adults in the tribe did not come to the plains to watch Chuli cook their food.

But the children were so greedy from the scent that they forgot their elders' advice and ran to Chu Li.

Chu Li was very happy for the children to come, and asked them to go back and bring the shells they ate, and fill them with meat later.

The children ran home happily, and came back with the shells, and stood by the pot and waited.

Some little guys are not as tall as the pot, and they can't look into the pot even on tiptoe, such as Changqing.

Chu Li secretly laughed.

"Dinner."

When the children swallowed their saliva countless times, finally came the voice of Chu Li saying that the meal is ready.

The children are not hungry, they have already eaten, and they are simply greedy.

But Li Chang and the others were already hungry. After a day's work, their stomachs kept growling.

"Bring over the bowls, one big portion for each person, and add more after eating."

Chu Li cooked the meal himself today, and scooped a large spoonful of braised moose meat into everyone's bowl. It looked similar to braised pig's trotters and was very tempting.

The children don't know how to use chopsticks, so they don't need to learn to use the spoons given to them. Then they sit on the grass and enjoy the braised pork.

Li Chang and the others didn't care too much, sat cross-legged on the grass, and ate big mouthfuls, looking like they had been hungry for days.
