MTL - Transmigrated To Ancient Times To Farm And Build A Kingdom-Chapter 64 red maple

Moment.

The two of them in Changxia walked to the mouth of the Baihe River.

Looking up.

But I saw that the sky was dyed into a dazzling curtain by the red maples that covered the mountains and plains. At a glance, they are all breathtakingly beautiful.

At this moment, Chang Xia suddenly understood Nanfeng's idea of ​​living in Hongyeling.

So beautiful, who can resist not being moved.

"It's beautiful!" Chang Xia exclaimed.

Shen Rong carried Chang Xia on his back and followed Chang Xia's line of sight towards Hongye Ridge. As soon as I saw it, I was attracted by the red maple.

Go up the estuary and pass the ginkgo forest of the estuary.

The ginkgo trees in the ginkgo forest are sparse and sparse, which should have been picked by the tribe not long ago. Ginkgo is no longer optional, but may become the daily staple of orcs.

to this.

Su Ye hasn't disclosed it to other orcs yet.

But, if Changxia really made dry powder. Ginkgo's status in the Orcs will rise again. At that time, Su Ye would think about the importance of exposing ginkgo to the many orc tribes in the Twilight Forest. Of course, the orc tribes must give certain compensation to the Heluo tribe, which is also necessary.

"The tribe really finished picking all the nearby ginkgo." Chang Xia sighed.

When Granny Su Ye came to the tribe, the hot pot banquet should also be put on the agenda. Root sent a hunting team out to hunt, and it is estimated that he was also thinking. After all, it is too unreal to have Chang Xia prepare food for more than a thousand people.

Most of the ingredients must be provided by the tribe.

Shen Rong broke: "There is a small ginkgo forest growing in the upper reaches of Baihu, and the ginkgo has not been picked there yet."

When he was digging for medicinal herbs yesterday, Shen Rong discovered it by accident.

The ginkgo forest in the upper reaches of Baihu just happens to grow not far from the exit of the cave cellar. Shen Rong counted roughly seventeen or eight trees, bearing a lot of ginkgo.

"Really?" Chang Xia was overjoyed.

"That piece of ginkgo forest grows in the valley to the right of the cave's cellar exit. The number is not too many, there are about a dozen trees." Shen Rong said.

In addition to ginkgo trees, there are many shrubs growing in the mountains.

Yesterday went fast, Shen Rong didn't look carefully. However, there is one thing Shen Rong is very grateful for. That is the location of the Changxia election to build a kiln, which is subtle and indescribable.

The location of the col is hidden, and the long summer is very suitable for planting or breeding.

Further up is the upper reaches of White Lake.

There are large reeds growing there, inhabited by various chickens and ducks.

The expansion of the Heluo tribe to Baihu is definitely an excellent choice.

"A dozen trees, that's enough." Chang Xia smiled, grabbed Shen Rong's smooth fluff gently, put his face on Shen Rong's back, and waved: "Go, go to Hongye Ridge. Shen Rong, I think in the future The tribe will not be short of sugar to eat. Red maple, the tall broad-leaved tree in Hongyeling, should be the red maple tree.”

"The end of April is the last season of the year to harvest red maple sap."

"Usually red maple sap should be harvested in March, and early April is the best time to harvest. Maple syrup made from concentrated red maple sap harvested at that time has the best taste."

Listening to Chang Xia's nagging, Shen Rong walked through the ginkgo forest at the estuary and headed straight for Hongye Ridge. At the same time, Shen Rong couldn't help but wonder, how does maple syrup taste? Is it sweeter than cane sugar? Is it better than sucrose?

As for why Changxia knew that red maple sap could make sugar.

Like the Heluo tribe, Shen Rong kept his ears and bells hidden and pretended to know nothing.

"Did Shen Rong smell it?"

"Sweet, sweet taste."

"This sweet taste is light, shouldn't the tribe be the only one to notice the elder Pukang?"

Chang Xia frowned, referring to the pursuit of sweetness by the beasts. Hongyeling should have been discovered by the tribe long ago, so why did Elder Pukang only notice it?

"I heard Xylophone Amu say that Hongyeling is barren, and few tribesmen of the tribe come to pick and collect. Maybe I missed it."

After all, Chang Xia also said it.

The best time for red maple to harvest sap is from March to April.

At this time, the tribe was busy hunting and picking.

The tribe didn't notice the abnormal situation in Hongyeling, and it was reasonable. The elders of Pukang were mostly accidents, and they may have been discovered during patrols.

It's just that the elder Pukang has always been a big man.

When he found out that something was wrong, he didn't think deeply.

Shen Rong's speed was extremely fast, from the time he smelled the sweetness to the time he arrived at Hongye Ridge, it took a quarter of an hour before and after. The closer you get to Hongye Ridge, the more pronounced the sweetness is.

Hongyeling seems even the air is sweet, like a dream.

After landing, Shen Rong put down Chang Xia.

He quickly regained his human form, raised his head, and looked at the Red Leaf Ridge like the Red Sea. He couldn't regain his senses for a long time.

"Shen Rong, we have made a fortune!"

Chang Xia put his hands on his hips and laughed wildly.

There are many red maples in Hongyeling that are hundreds of years old, even thousands of years old. The ancient trees are towering, and any red maple is seventy or eighty meters high and more than 100 centimeters in diameter. This large red maple forest is enough to make the Heluo tribe a maple sugar kingdom.

The trunk of maple trees contains a lot of starch, which becomes sucrose in winter, and becomes sweet sap in warm weather. Just drill a hole in the trunk and the leaves will flow out. The sap is then boiled to make maple syrup.

There are thousands of maple trees in Hongyeling, and many of them are thousands of years old. There are countless trees that are more than a hundred years old. The number Chang Xia said that the Heluo tribe became a maple sugar kingdom was no joke.

When Chang Xia returned to calm, two incense sticks passed.

"Shen Rong, try to find a red maple to drill, let me see if there is any sap?"

Shen Rong put down the basket and picked up a bone knife.

Randomly choose a red maple tree closest to them, UU reading www. uukanshu.com found a suitable branch position and inserted the bone knife into it.

Soon, a tree hole the size of two was made.

For a moment, the brown sap flowed out from the tree hole. Chang Xia stepped forward and smeared a little with his hands, then put it to his mouth and licked it.

A strong caramel-like smell came to the nostrils.

"Shen Rong, you can also try—"

Shen Rong approached and put Chang Xia's hand in his mouth.

Chang Xia froze, her cheeks flushed instantly. Her original intention was to let Shen Rong dip into the red maple sap and taste it, but Shen Rong suddenly attacked directly.

She really didn't kick anyone away!

However, it is estimated that it won't fly even with a kick.

Don't overdo it, Chang Xia withdrew his hand and pretended not to notice anything.

Shen Rong pursed his lips and smiled lightly.

"Sweet, very sweet."

Chang Xia Qing coughed. At this moment, she didn't want to know whether Shen Rong said that the red maple sap was sweet, or that her hands were sweet. And does this count as an indirect kiss?

By the way, she doesn't seem to have washed her hands.

Suddenly, Chang Xia's thoughts flew farther and farther.

After hearing the tick of the red maple tree dripping onto the ground, he came back to his senses.

"Shen Rong, can you get a wooden barrel?" Chang Xia regained his calm and asked.

When they came, they brought two backpacks. There was nothing to hold the red maple sap. She looked at the dripping sap and felt distressed.

Shen Rong said, "Wait."

After a while, Shen Rong gathered materials on the spot.

Using other woods, I put together several wooden barrels. According to Chang Xia's meaning, the barrel is tied to the trunk of the red maple. When the barrels were full, Changxia did not collect the red maple sap anymore, but chose to walk around the Hongye Ridge to confirm the number of red maple trees, and then prepared to return to the tribe to discuss the harvest of red maple sap.
