Chapter 241 Wildflower Pepper: Save! I was kidnapped
Suddenly, Zhao Xinqing pointed to a small shrub more than one meter tall not far away and said in surprise:
"Look! What is that?"
Barrage:
【That is…】
【Countdown to the death of a small tree!】
[Unknown little tree (shiver): Can't see me, can't see me, can't see me!]
[Brothers with prize betting, Dr. Zhao fell in love with this tree this time: a leaf, b fruit, c branch, d rhizome.]
【I choose the obtuse angle!】
Su Bai looked along Zhao Xinqing's fingers and found out...
I don't know this tree.
"What kind of tree is this?" Su Bai's supporting actor became more and more skilled.
Zhao Xinqing happily walked to the low shrub, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile:
"Sure enough! This is a wild pepper tree!"
"Wild pepper, also known as blue pepper, is not many artificially cultivated. Wild pepper is very common in the wilderness and is often used for seasoning in Sichuan and Chongqing."
"We are so short of seasonings! The seasonings brought to us by this wild pepper tree are a qualitative leap!"
Zhao Xinqing pointed to the small yellow-green flowers on the wild pepper tree and said:
"It's a pity that it's the flowering period of the wild pepper tree, and it has not yet produced any fruit, that is, there are no peppercorns."
"If you want results, you have to wait until September at least."
Barrage:
【Hi! There is still half a year left! It’s a surprise!】
[I thought I could eat fried pork with pepper in the next meal!]
Zhao Xinqing looked at the disappointed barrage and chuckled:
"Spinel leaves are also seasonings!"
"Although it does not have the strong taste of pepper, it also has the unique aroma of leaves and a light fragrance of pepper."
"so……"
Zhao Xinqing patted the branches of the wild pepper tree, as if patting a good friend on the shoulder.
She turned her eyes to look at the roots of the peppercorn tree, and smiled sly:
"Let's carry it home!"
Barrage:
【…】
[The person who asked the single choice question in the previous article, please come out.]
[Also a leaves, b fruits, c branches, d rhizomes???Dr. Zhao said that children only do single-choice questions! I want them all for adults!]
【Wild Pepper: Continuously confused, what happened just now?】
[Wild Pepper: A demon photographed me? How should I respond to her? I'm very anxious, wait online!]
[Wild Pepper: Demon, do you know why there is the word "wild" in front of my name? Because I am wild!!! I am still wild if you carry me home???]
[Wild Flower Pepper (blinking crazy at the camera): I was kidnapped! The kidnapper is extremely cruel! Save! Save Save Save Save!!!]
Here, it is quite far from the camp.
The limestone piled up along the way was almost enough to calcinate in a kiln, and wild pepper trees were discovered, so naturally there was no reason to continue exploring.
Su Bai began to collect the nearby limestone, while Zhao Xinqing started to dig the roots of the wild pepper tree.
Zhao Xinqing's movements were fast and sophisticated.
The soil quickly peeled off the root system of the wild pepper tree, but neither the main trunk nor the important branch trunk of the root system was damaged.
Some of the capillary roots have been broken a lot, but this is irrelevant to a tree.
Su Bai had installed the limestone in this area and was about to squat down to help Zhao Xinqing, but Zhao Xinqing flatly refused.
“Planting the root system of plants is actually very dangerous.”
"If we don't do it well, the wild pepper tree will die if we move it back."
Zhao Xinqing said seriously:
"So there can be no mistakes in this process."
"Just wait for me."
Su Bai scratched his head and had to wait aside.
Barrage laughed:
【Su Bai was disliked…】
【The profession has specialties…】
[Su Bai???: My wife is cruel to me, I feel wronged...]
But even though Zhao Xinqing was the only one working, it took only fifteen minutes to dig out the entire wild pepper tree by Zhao Xinqing.
The wild pepper tree is not tall, and naturally it is not heavy. It was hugged by Zhao Xinqing and carried it away.
Su Bai carried a full pole of limestone, and Zhao Xinqing carried a wild pepper tree, and returned to the camp one after another.
The two were busy separately.
Zhao Xinqing planted the wild pepper tree next to the wild mountain ginger that she had transplanted back last time.
With the careful care of a PhD in Botany, the wild mountain ginger planted last time grew very well and did not look like it withered due to transplantation.
It is foreseeable that this wild pepper tree will most likely follow the footsteps of wild mountain ginger, and will never die if you want to die. Every now and then, Zhao Xinqing took a handful of stewed soup and drank it.
Su Bai, regardless of Zhao Xinqing's small spice field, went to the earth kiln himself.
The fire I left before was extinguished.
The water vapor and humidity in the earth kiln were burned to nothing by the raging fire, and it was very dry.
Su Bai smashed the limestone on the spot and mixed it with clay. He repeated the previous step and began to calcinate the second wave of cement in this earth kiln.
Su Bai looked up at the sky and whispered to himself:
"It's about one-half now."
"As long as it rains before six o'clock, the cement of this kiln can be successfully refined."
Barrage:
【What if it rained again before six o'clock?】
Su Bai shrugged:
"If it really rained before six o'clock, then the cement of this kiln would be scrapped."
"But I intuitively feel that today's rain shouldn't be so fast."
After the finished cement is exposed to water, it will dry again and it will be directly formed.
Not to mention that the refining process was halfway through a scoop of cold rain, and the things inside must have been muddy. The cement that had already reacted wrapped all the limestone that had not yet reacted, and it was impossible to use it again.
This is the risk that needs to take to seize the rhythm in cold waves and rainy weather.
Once done, he will be able to lead the entire game and continue to suppress Li Jixian and Song Mingyue at an absolute disadvantage.
But Su Bai and Zhao Xinqing are facing the cold weather today and the mountain roads are slippery and difficult to walk. So much limestone collected by Su Bai and Zhao Xinqing are completely useless.
Although Su Bai has a certain ability to predict the weather, he is completely unsure of the exact time node of six o'clock.
"Just just give your best to fate..."
Su Bai shook his head and chuckled:
"Luck is an important factor after all. Strong strength can minimize the uncertainty of luck."
“But it can never be ruled out.”
"Just like me, there are situations where I can't catch a fish all day."
While talking to the barrage, Su Bai had already walked back to the camp.
Zhao Xinqing has basically transplanted the wild pepper tree.
The two went to check the situation in the field again.
At this time, the sun faintly shone a little through the fainting dark clouds.
The water accumulation in the sweet potato field has basically returned to normal, and the tender leaves of the sweet potato seedlings appear to be much more relaxed under the sunlight.
The two were about to go for lunch when they suddenly heard a "rustling" sound in the bushes to the east.
A furry snow leopard head poked out of the bushes, and the faint green leopard eyes looked at Su Bai and Zhao Xinqing.
