Firewood, if it falls, it will fall, but the erythrina tree will not do.
After cutting down the branches of the Erythrina tree, Mu Qing walked forward again.
Along the way, I picked some bitter seeds and guavas.
The mountain road is not easy to walk, after more than an hour out, Mu Qing did not reach the top of the hillside.
Considering the source of the fire, Mu Qing had no choice but to postpone the plan and return to the camp first.
After returning to the camp, Mu Qing immediately went to look at Xiang Ye.
Very good, it is very dry.
"This fire is like the rope of a kite, and I think of the kite that was tied up."
"The scented leaves have dried out in the sun, so I have to quickly make the fire pockets first.
With Huozhezi, I can have a free body. "
While speaking, Mu Qing took out the branches of the Erythrina tree from the backpack, as well as the small sticky flowers that he had picked before.
"There are many membranes like this in the middle of this erythrina tree. I will find a thinner stick to pierce these membranes and open up the whole branch."
He lowered his head and picked up a branch of a suitable size from the side, and after some fiddling, he hollowed out all the branches.
Looking at it with my eyes, the hollow and straight erythrina tree is really a rare and good material.
"Ahem, it's time to focus, it's time to learn techniques."
"Although this technology is really useless."
After all, Mu Qing couldn't help laughing.
Serious people who do this stuff.
"The first step is to crush these dried fragrant leaves."
After grinding the fragrant leaves, Muqing pulled out a few pieces of charcoal that had cooled down from the side of the fire, and ground them into carbon powder with stones.
"The second step is to get the charcoal."
"Then rub these charcoal and fragrant leaves with these small flowers to increase their stickiness."
"This must be kneaded more to make them fully blend together, so that they will not fall apart when drying later. I used to help my mother knead the dough, and I am quite good at this."
In a moment of quick talk, he almost told his wife.
Muqing's emotions suddenly became a bit complicated, he was considered to be at the end of his life, but he didn't know if the old woman was living well in her later years, and now she lives with that child.
"Look, that's it for kneading."
"Next, we glued them together with a stick, like we do for good-bye incense."
Mu Qing was not talking, he lowered his head and carefully stuck the kneaded ingredients on a stick slightly thinner than chopsticks.
This step looks simple, but it is actually the most difficult step in the whole process.
If you pinch it too loosely, it will fall apart when drying.
It was pinched too tightly, and it fell off on the spot before drying.
Muqing tried several times before he gradually mastered the technique.
"I don't know if it will be successful for the first time, and I don't have a lot of materials to prepare. I will try to make these first, and I will make more after I succeed."
Muqing put the pinched Huozhe core aside.
From the pile of firewood that I carried back, I selected a few pieces of wood with appropriate thickness, made a simple shelf and placed it beside the fire, and carefully stacked the pinched fire cores on the shelf.
"You can't get too close, you might get caught if you get too close, and you can't get too far away."
"Bake it overnight like this, and it should be ready tomorrow."
"Well, if nothing unexpected happens."
After the fire book was finished, it was getting dusk.
Mu Qing shook his dizzy head, and sat down by the fire.
"I feel a little dizzy now, and my heartbeat is a little fast. It should be hypoglycemia."
"I ate a fish from morning to now, a few nectars that are almost negligible, and then walked in the mountains and forests all day."
"No, no, I have to eat something first."
He took out water from the bag and drank half a bottle, Mu Qing also ate the remaining smoked fish.
Then he took out the fruits picked today, bitter seeds and wild guavas from his backpack.
"Ah bah, this product is too bitter. I didn't feel so bitter when I ate it when I was a child?"
After taking a bite of the bitter fruit, Muqing spit it out quickly, the whole face almost wrinkled together due to the bitterness.
"Now there are no conditions to be picky eaters, but if you find something that can be eaten, you still have to eat it."
"I'll skewer this bitter seed and roast it over the fire to see if it can be better."
After roasting for four to five minutes, the roasted bitter seeds turned from green to green brown, and they were still dripping with water.
Not to mention the taste, it looks more delicious than green bitter seeds.
Mu Qing took out a bunch and tasted it, then nodded with satisfaction.
"It's much more delicious than before, but it still has a bit of bitterness, similar to the taste of fried bitter gourd, which is relatively acceptable."
[Eating and broadcasting in the wilderness, online skewers. 】
[It looks like candied haws, it looks delicious. 】
[As we all know, this is a food show. 】
【The grilled mutton, grilled chicken legs, grilled enoki mushrooms, and grilled eggplant in my hand are not fragrant in an instant. 】
[I, who was on a diet, cursed and ordered a takeaway. 】
After quickly eating two bunches of bitter seeds, Mu Qing picked up the guava on the side and ate it.
"This guava is not yet ripe, but it is edible, and the taste is quite good, crunchy and sweet."
