Chapter 66
Have a bowl
"Okay!" Chang Xia responded.
After bidding farewell to the elder Da Lai, Shen Rong and Shen Rong carried the sap from the red maple tree to the animal den. Hongye Ridge was not far from the tribe, so it was not a big deal... they traveled there day and night to collect the sap from the red maple tree.
Just think about it.
The sadness between Chang Xia's brows disappeared, and a smile once again filled her face.
"Chang Xia, are you thinking about it?" Shen Rong said warmly.
Chang Xia glared at Shen Rong and said coquettishly: "Are you happy to see me embarrass you? Let me tell you... if you miss the harvest of red maple sap this year, and want to eat maple sugar and maple syrup, you will have to wait another year."
"What solution have you come up with?" Shen Rong slowly followed Chang Xia. Every step landed on the place where Chang Xia had stepped. Behind him was the sun hanging high in the sky. The shadows of the two people stretched long and gradually merged into one.
.
"Why didn't you tell me to give up harvesting red maple sap?" Chang Xia pursed his lips and asked in surprise.
Compared with eating, a safe and comfortable residence is more practical.
What's more, with the chicken, duck, fish and fruit powder provided by Chang Xia this year, the Heluo tribe can survive a stable rainy season. Chang Xia thought Shen Rong would guess that she gave up harvesting red maple sap, after all, normal people would choose this way.
"Are you willing to give up?" Shen Rong's lips smiled, slightly rising to create a beautiful arc.
Shen Rong didn't spend much time with Chang Xia, but it was enough for Shen Rong to understand her.
How can a person who is obsessed with eating easily give up the food on his lips?
Changxia smiled, nodded and said: "I really can't bear it. So Shen Rong has to work hard. Let's make more barrels and go to Hongye Ridge to collect red maple tree sap at night. Take the time to collect as much as possible, in addition to storing maple trees.
In addition to syrup, we tried to make some maple syrup.”
"The water vapor in the wind is getting heavier and heavier, and the rainy season is coming soon." Shen Rong said solemnly: "The tribe must seize the time to build a kiln. It is really not enough for you and me to harvest red maple sap. Plus,
It’s impossible to harvest all the sap from the red maple trees in Hongye Ridge at night.”
Shen Rong analyzed the situation very objectively.
The sap of Hongye Ridge red maple trees has never been harvested before.
Each tree precipitates abundant sucrose.
It is absolutely impossible to harvest all the red maple trees in Hongye Ridge in just a few days.
Chang Xia waved his hand and said calmly: "I didn't say we have to finish harvesting, just harvest as much as you can. If it doesn't work, wait until next year to harvest again."
The Dusk Forest is very magical.
It rains most of the time during the rainy season, so floods are likely to occur.
However, in Chang Xia's memory, there were very few floods in Dusk Forest. With such a heavy rainfall, there would definitely be a lot of water on the ground. Where did the water go?
There is also a lot of precipitation in the rainy season, so the air should be moist.
But Twilight Forest does not.
For example, the Heluo tribe is adjacent to the Baihe River, which receives a lot of precipitation during the rainy season. The water on the Baihe River has always remained stable, which is incredible.
Talking and walking, the two quickly returned to the den.
They put down the wooden bucket containing the sap of the red maple tree and fetched water to wash their faces and hands. At Hongye Ridge, the two of them had eaten food to satisfy their hunger, and they did not feel hungry when they returned to the den.
If you want to harvest red maple sap during the long summer, you must first prepare enough wooden barrels.
There is no extra wood in the animal den, and it is obviously impractical to go into the mountains and forests to cut trees at this time. Chang Xia is thinking about going back to the tribe to talk to his roots, and get some wood to make barrels. Now that he has a barrel filled with red maple tree sap,
It is convenient to go to Hongye Ridge to collect the sap for making maple syrup.
"Chang Xia, would you like a bowl of red maple sap?" Shen Rong said warmly.
After some rest, the heat in my heart will disappear.
Shen Rong caught a glimpse of the blush remaining on Chang Xia's cheeks and couldn't help but ask.
Chang Xia nodded quickly and replied: "Have a bowl."
Each person had a bowl and sat quietly in front of the animal's den.
The sky is blue and the clouds are rolling and relaxing.
After taking a mouthful of red maple sap, the two of them snored happily. Upon hearing the sound, the two looked at each other and smiled.
"Shen Rong, the red maple sap tastes better after being chilled." Chang Xia smacked her mouth and nuzzled towards the animal den. She remembered that Granny Su Ye brought back some ice fruits for her, and those ice fruits seemed to be still good.
Didn't eat.
Shen Rong put down the bowl and stood up, "Wait, I'll go find the ice fruit."
Soon, Shen Rong went into the animal den to find the ice fruit.
Different from ordinary wild fruits, ice fruits are cool and comfortable to hold in your hands.
Peel and cut into pieces.
The white and translucent pulp makes you feel the coolness in the part that comes into contact with your fingers. Press the pulp gently and it will bounce and be very tough.
Shen Rong took Chang Xia's bowl and added a few spoonfuls of red maple sap and half a spoonful of ice fruit pulp.
The ice fruit pulp comes into contact with the sap of the red maple tree.
It makes a direct sizzling sound.
"Shen Rong, look -"
Chang Xia called to Shen Rong and pointed at the wooden bowl for Shen Rong to see.
But I saw drops of water emerging from the outside of the wooden bowl.
The two looked at each other, opened their mouths at the same time, and said: "Ice Crystal Grass."
"That's right, Ice Crystal Grass." Chang Xia's eyes shone brightly and she said excitedly: "Shen Rong, we must find the Bird Tribe in exchange for Ice Crystal Grass. With Ice Crystal Grass, we are no longer afraid of the hot rainy season -"
Ice crystal grass, pure natural refrigerator.
Refrigerator, popsicles, ice cream, smoothies.
Thinking about it, Chang Xia couldn't help but drool.
No matter what, he must find the Bird Tribe in exchange for Ice Crystal Grass, and Chang Xia kept this in mind.
Soon, the two of them finished drinking the red maple sap mixed with ice fruit pulp, feeling quite unsatisfied. Unfortunately, there were not many ice fruits. Chang Xia wanted to keep them until Granny Su Ye and Bai Qing came over, and then talk to the tribe.
Enjoy together.
No matter how greedy you are, you can only press it.
"Chang Xia——"
Here, Chang Xia just planned to go back to the tribe to find Gen and ask about the wood.
At the foot of the hillside, the brisk call of the south wind came.
"south wind?"
"Yeah! It's her."
Shen Rong touched the tip of his nose, Nanfeng was really from the leopard clan and not the wolf clan?
As soon as they got something good, Nanfeng knew about it.
Is this sense of smell a little too sensitive?
Chang Xia stood on tiptoe and looked in the direction of Baihu, hesitatingly saying: "It seems... there are several people?"
Far away, except in the south wind.
It seemed like there were several people walking towards their own den.
Could it be——
The two looked at each other and thought of the elder Dalai they had met under the newly built stone wall before. Could it be that the tribe had received the news that they had returned from Hongye Ridge?
Thinking about it, this is the only possibility. After all, the tribe is busy building kilns. If there is no big event, they will not come to see Chang Xia at this time.
"Chang Xia, give me a taste!!!" Nanfeng rushed over, stared at Chang Xia with his big eyes, and chirped: "Elder Dalai said, what you said... what kind of mangrove tree
The juice is delicious and sweeter than honey."
"Hehehehe——" Elder Pukang's iconic laughter came into focus.
Soon, Gen, Xylophone and others walked up the hillside and followed closely.
"Xiao Changxia, give Pukang a bucket to try." Pukang said.
The shorter female who was following him raised his hand and hit Elder Pukang on the head, scolding: "Pukang, what are you talking about?"
After teaching Elder Pukang a lesson, the female turned to show a kind smile and greeted Chang Xia with a smile, "Chang Xia, how are you doing recently? I heard that you went to Hongye Ridge and found something as delicious as honey.
of sap?"
"Elder Yami, please sit down!" Chang Xia greeted everyone to sit down one by one, and asked Shen Rong to help prepare wooden bowls. Without any extra words, he directly scooped red maple sap for everyone. There is nothing better than drinking it in person.
A bowl of red maple sap comes with a better explanation.
