"Be careful, these plants are poisonous. Shovel the engineers to me." Xu Yi said, and then pointed to some plants on the ground.

Luke nodded, then took out the engineer shovel in Xu Yi's basket and handed it to him.

These plants look normal, but they are poisonous.

"Touching their juice will cause your skin to fester constantly. If the area is large, it is normal to break limbs or even die." Xu Yi explained, because his toxic substance identification experience contains the data of this plant.

"This is so terrible. What kind of plant is it?" Lu Ke stood up after hearing Xu Yi's words.

Xu Yi carefully dug one, and then said, "poison star, make good use of it, that's the weapon."

"Go and cut the flax, and I'll dig out the poison stars." Xu Yi handed his machete to Luke, and there was indeed a piece of Flax in front of him.

"Well, be careful. It's too dangerous to touch it." Lu Ke told him. After all, Xu Yi said it was so terrible.

"Well, this kind of thing is rare after all, and I will be careful." Xu Yi said with a smile. He knew the horror of poison star, so he would be very careful.

Fortunately, its venom is in the leaves, and the liquid on the roots is not dangerous.

Otherwise, Xu Yi really doesn't dare to dig.

"Cut two or three bundles, and we can't carry them back." Lu Ke turned back and said to Xu Yi. After all, time is limited, and it's impossible to waste too much time here.

Otherwise, we can't get to the camp after dark.

"Well, come back tomorrow and determine the location, we can save a lot of time." Xu Yi replied without raising his head. He is digging a poison star out of the earth, but he doesn't want to get it accidentally.

The reason why they spent so long here today is that they need to explore carefully. When they encounter some plants, they have to stop to check whether they can be eaten or whether they have medicinal value.

Naturally, it took a lot of time. If you come directly to cut flax tomorrow, you may be able to save about two hours.

"Thirteen trees, good luck." Xu Yi grinned happily, and then received all these poison stars in his back basket.

Then he and Luke cut flax together.

After cutting four bales, the two men finished work.

After all, it still takes a few hours to go back without being delayed.

On the way back, Lu hit a rabbit with a short crossbow.

It was almost dark when we returned to the camp.

"Luke, you deal with the rabbit and I'll take down the strawberries." Xu Yi put down the linen and basket, and was ready to take down the strawberries on the roof.

Xu Yi feels that the strawberries are almost dry after being exposed to the sun for so long.

"Don't you need my help?" Lu Ke asked after putting down his things.

"No, you don't have to take down the dustpan. Just put it directly on it. I can do it myself." after saying a word, Xu Yi set up the ladder and put it on the top beam.

"Be careful," Lu Ke told him. After all, it's six meters high. If you fall, it's also very dangerous.

"Don't worry, it's all right." Xu Yi said, and then climbed up.

After arriving at the roof, Xu Yi found that the strawberry slices did not become dry, and most of them were rotten.

"Drying failed?" Xu Yi picked up a piece and used it to smell. It smelled sour.

None of the strawberries in the two round dustpans were successfully dried, which made Xu Yi a little depressed.

He thought he could harvest some dried strawberries after drying for two or three days. The result was a complete failure. There was no dried strawberry.

So Xu Yi folded the round dustpans together and took them back to the ground.

It's stained with strawberries. You must wash it.

"Xu Yi, how did you take down the round dustpan? The dried strawberries have been dried?" Lu Kewei said. In this way, you don't have to put the round dustpan on the roof, because you don't have to continue drying tomorrow.

"No, it's all melted. It didn't dry successfully." Xu Yi took some residual strawberries and gave Lu Ke a look.

"How could it be like this? The sun is very big today." Lu Ke looked at Xu Yi incomprehensibly. After all, there are dried strawberries on the market.

"We should have used the wrong method. There is too much moisture in strawberries." Xu Yi said while cleaning the round dustpan.

"But there's a lot of water in the grapes. Aren't we still dried into raisins?" Lu Ke said.

"Grapes have skins and are not easy to soften. Strawberries will be soft and rotten after we touch them. Therefore, it should not be the same way. We have to get the water out first and then dry them." Xu Yi thought seriously and said his idea.

"Well..." Lu Ke thought for a moment and felt that what Xu Yi said was quite reasonable. Then he asked, "how can we separate the water from the strawberries?"

After all, so many strawberries can't be eaten every day. If you don't dry it and save it, it's too wasteful.

After all, they are Chinese. Unlike blacks, they would rather rot than think about how to save the fruit and take it out when needed.

"Salt or sugar should be OK, as long as the density is greater than water." Xu Yi said.

"Salt? Yes, we have very little salt. It's enough for ordinary food. It's too wasteful to make dried strawberries. Sugar, we have honey, can this also?" Lu Ke is reluctant to use salt on it. After all, if we want to go to the beach now, it will take at least one day and one night.

Their salt was given by Wang Jin and Lu Yao.

"You can take a small part to try, even if you can't." even if you know to dehydrate with salt and sugar, they still don't know the specific production method.

"Why don't we exchange a book for making dried fruit? There are books in it that can be exchanged. It is estimated that there is a Book specializing in making dried fruit." Lu Ke put forward a new suggestion.

She felt that it was a pity to throw away the strawberries that could not be eaten.

Waste is shameful.

At least, in her opinion.

"Let's see if there are any points." Xu Yi thinks it's better to see whether it's cost-effective.

"OK, I'll look for it later." Lu Ke washed the rabbit and carried it out of the water.

Then she chopped the rabbit into pieces and put it into a pot to cook.

Xu Yi also washed the round dustpan and returned to the stilted building.

Lu Ke fixed the rabbit skin and began to look it up with the star catalog.
