Another World Drift

Yuan Xu was busy for three days, picking all the ripe grapes in the vineyard, some of them were hung on the branches to dry in the shade, and the other part was carried by Yuan Xu to a small cliff several times, and dried on a flat surface. on the stone.

It seems that the drying of raisins takes a long time, Yuan Xu doesn’t remember, so I can only go to see how the grapes are drying every day, and then turn them over and so on, but this only needs to be on a small cliff, hanging Grapes on a branch don't need to be turned over or anything like that.

There are still some late-ripening grapes in the vineyard, some are still green in color, and some have just changed color a little bit. Yuanxu let them continue to grow on the tree when there is sugar. Come do the wine.

But before that, he still needs to make some pottery. He lacks pottery for brewing and sugar for brewing.

Yuan Xu arranged the time. First, he spent a day making a bunch of clay pots. Yuan Xu made a bit too much this time. There are a total of ten or so, which are still not very beautiful. I didn't make a perfect jar with a small mouth and a big belly!So, it is said that it is a jar, but it is actually a straight cylinder, but the bottom is big and the mouth is small, and it gradually becomes smaller when it goes up, and the mouth is smaller, so that it will be easy to plug when the time comes.

The jars are not small, so Yuanxu probably will burn for a long time this time, firewood is also a problem!This time it is estimated that I will have to pick up a lot of firewood and come back.

Moved more than a dozen newly made clay jars to a cool place, and waited for them to dry in the shade. During the waiting period, Yuan Xu was not idle. He ran to the sugarcane forest to leave, went back and forth a few times, and brought them back Ten bundles of sugarcane piled up in the small valley are quite spectacular.

Then he ran all over the small cliff, and finally found a sunken stone. The shape of this stone was irregular, but there was a sunken hole on one side that was formed for unknown reasons. Yuan Xu felt that this stone could be used directly. Make a stone mortar, and pound the sugar cane out of it like juice.

This stone is quite big, it is conceivable that it is heavy, but fortunately Yuanxu's body has been transformed by the five-color fruit, and the reason for living on the small island these days, despite his thin and weak appearance now, but In fact, the flesh on his body is all muscles when pinched, and it is hard when pinched. Sometimes Yuan Xu looks at his strong muscles, thin and powerful figure, and can't help but think, if this is in modern society, he must have seduced a large group of girls!It's a pity that on this deserted island, it was wasted in vain!

Yuan Xu carried the big rock back to the small valley. Because the rock was irregular, it couldn't be placed on the ground smoothly. Yuan Xu thought of a way, dug a hole in the ground, put the stone in, and laid it flat. Then bury it with soil, exposing more than half of the stone. Not only will it not fail to cover it, but it will also be fixed on the ground.

Fetching water to clean the large stone mortar inside and out, this is the tool used to roll sugarcane juice.There is no way, there is no machine, Yuanxu can only squeeze sugarcane juice manually if he wants to get sugarcane juice.

Then Yuan Xu found out the huge pot that he made last time, and planned to cook it together with these clay pots this time. It's a pity that this big pot was not burned. The big pot is used to boil salt and sugar. Very useful!

This time, it took Yuan Xu two full days just to collect firewood in the back mountain. Because the small valley is not big, Yuan Xu chose to burn pottery outside the small valley this time, and he will collect firewood from the back mountain. The firewood that came was piled aside, leaving a large open space for the clay jars that had been dried in the shade and exposed to the sun.

Then, Yuan Xu processed another batch of sugarcane first. He found a tree trunk with the thickness of a human leg from the mountain, peeled it and flattened it. I don’t know what kind of wood it is. Sugarcane juice is perfect.

Peel the sugarcane and break it into sections, put it in a large stone mortar, and pound it vigorously with a wooden pounder. After pounding out all the sugarcane juice in the sugarcane, Yuanxu picked out all the residue, scooped out the sugarcane juice with a pottery bowl, and poured it into the usual In the clay pots for cooking, the two pots are the largest pottery Yuan Xu has now. After the two pots are full, Yuan Xu finds out all the empty pottery and fills them with sugarcane juice.Take it to where the pottery is going to be fired.

Yuan Xu made this with the mentality of not wasting any resources. He lit a fire, pottery was burned underneath, and sugarcane juice was boiled on top.

The fire was very big, because the pottery being burned this time was more and bigger, so the firewood and the fire were extra big this time.Yuan Xu was too close, and it was a little uncomfortable to be roasted, but the advantage of a big fire is that the water boils faster, and the sugarcane juice is the same.

The bubbling sugarcane juice exudes bursts of sweetness. While the sugarcane juice is rolling up and down, some bagasse that has not been scooped up and down is also rolling up and down. Yuan Xu thought about it and found it. A tree branch, skillfully peeled off the bark, pulled out two pieces of hemp thread that was used in threshing grass thatch last time, peeled off the skin of the plant rhizome, and packed it tightly on the tree branch, so that the sugarcane can be harvested. When the slag is taken out, the sugarcane juice will not be brought out.

Sure enough, it is very useful to scoop up the dregs of this newly made thing. Since this thing is made according to Yanli, Yuan Xu named him Yanli.

The fire was very hot, and the sugarcane juice became thicker and thicker. Yuan Xu kept stirring it with a wooden shovel. Gradually, the water vapor coming out of the pot became less and less. Come down, dig out the sticky sugar juice with a wooden shovel, and pour it on a stone slab that has been prepared and washed.

A large pot of sugarcane juice was boiled out, but a thin layer was on the bottom of the pot. When dug out, there was only a pitiful little lump on the slate. After scraping the bottom of the pot, Yuan Xu poured sugarcane juice from other containers into this pot. The pot, continue to boil on the fire, there is not much sugarcane juice, because Yuanxu’s pottery is a bit small, and at that time, for the convenience of life, he made pots and pans with everything, but the bowls and plates can’t hold much sugarcane Juicy.

So Yuan Xu boiled all the sugar cane juice he squeezed, and finally boiled out only [-] brown sugar.The pitiful bit of brown sugar was limp on the slate, and it just flowed out the beauty of a bowl of porridge.

Yuan Xu remembered that after the sugar cane was boiled, it had to be stirred out of the pot, and when it solidified, it would become brown sugar, so Yuan Xu picked up the slate and slowly stirred it with a wooden shovel, while throwing firewood into the fire from time to time.

When the brown sugar solidified and turned into grains, Yuan Xu felt that it was a bit hard, unlike the brown sugar in modern society, which is soft and not very good looking.

Picking up a large grain of sugar, Yuan Xu put it in his mouth, the sweetness continued from the tip of his tongue, all the way to his heart.On this deserted island, he had nothing, but now he has done the same thing, this is not an ordinary sense of accomplishment!

The moment the candy was in his mouth, Yuan Xu didn't know why, but suddenly his eyes turned red, and there were tears in his eyes.He suddenly found that he ran to the desert island for no reason and didn't cry. The desert island was struggling every day to survive. Yuan Xu didn't even want to shed tears when he was cornered, because he knew that tears can only be found in love. It will be useful in your eyes, and strangers probably won't care.So since Yuan Xu understood this truth, he never cried in front of others.Because tears are worthless!

But at this moment, out of nowhere, Yuan Xu suddenly wanted to cry, maybe it was because he hadn't tasted sweetness for a long time, maybe it was because he was suddenly sentimental.

When he was a child, Yuanxu also resented his parents who abandoned him. Other children could be happy in their parents' arms, acting like a spoiled child, crying and not going to school, acting like a spoiled child, wanting to eat candy and ice cream, but there was never a hug that could Let him do these things, he understood the meaning of orphans when he was very young, and he also understood why he had so many older brothers and younger brothers and sisters, because they are all the same, children abandoned by their parents, they have no rights To act like a spoiled child.

At that time, Yuan Xu hated his parents, hated the cruelty of the parents he had never met, but when he was a little older, he knew that hating this kind of emotion, in addition to making himself unhappy and gloomy, made him even more disliked. In addition, it has no effect, parents will not show up because of his hatred, and life will not become better because of his hatred, so the little Yuanxu knows how to hide his emotions with a smile, and face the strange emotions of others with indifference. look.

He has been deceiving others like this for more than ten years, including himself. Yuan Xu always thought that he really didn't care about his parents and affection, but at this moment, he suddenly remembered the resentment in his heart, and realized that he had resented before, but It was always pressed in the bottom of my heart, forcing myself to forget. On such an unknown island, on such an unknown night, when I tasted the long-lost sweetness, the emotions hidden in my heart for many years suddenly broke out.

At this time, if someone sees Yuan Xu, they will find that he is sitting on a stone, next to a pile of burning fire, looking down at the stone slab on his lap, his eyes are straight, his face changes unsteadily, from time to time Gloomy, sometimes hideous, as if deeply immersed in his own thoughts.

At this time, the sea level, which had been shining faintly, suddenly had a ray of sunlight passing through the sea level, passing through the clouds, and directly hitting the world. The sun has risen, and the morning light is bright!

This ray of sunlight seemed to wake up Yuan Xu who was in deep thought, and suddenly woke up from his thoughts with sweat profusely, and saw the sunlight shining on him.

"Ah!" Yuan Xu yelled, "My pottery!"

It's a pity that no one heard his yelling, but the fire next to him was already dying. Although a lot of firewood was put in yesterday, it was left alone all night, and it was about to go out.

Yuan Xu didn't care about anything else, he quickly picked up a pile of flammable dead branches and leaves from the firewood pile, put them on, and the fire burned instantly.Then put a lot of firewood in, and re-burned the fire, praying in my heart that the pottery would not be affected!
