Liu Yimeng’s long eyelashes trembled, and she also crouched down, reached out and grabbed the dry grass that came out of the snow layer, and asked doubtfully: “Are these dry grasses good things?” ”

“Dry grass is not, buried in the soil is.” Chu Feng said softly, reaching out to plow the snow, clearing the snow on the soil layer, revealing the sand land below.

“What kind of plant is this?” Liu Yimeng asked curiously, helping to clean up the snow.

“Oil sand beans, also called oil sedge.” Chu Feng said softly, using a wood knife to plane the sand and dig out the rhizome of the oil sand bean.

Also known as tiger nut, it is a plant belonging to the sedge family, which is a high-quality, high-yield, high-value plant with high comprehensive utilization value, and is also an ornamental plant for beautification and greening environment in the city.

The most important point of oil sand bean is that the tubers growing at its roots can be pressed for oil, and the oil squeezed out is a high-quality health care cooking oil in the city.

“The amount … Don’t know, what’s the use? Liu Yimeng blinked the big eyes of the Water I Lingling, and it was the first time she had heard the name Oil Bean Beauty.

“It can be used to press oil.” Chu Feng smiled lightly, shaking the rhizome of the oily sand bean, shaking the sand and soil stuck to it, revealing the tubers connected to the roots.

There are many tubers of a sap bean, most of which are round and oval, and some are long strips, about the size of human tail fingers.

“Huh, squeeze the oil?” Liu Yimeng was surprised, reached out and took off the tubers attached to the roots, put them on the tip of his nose and smelled them, only to smell the faint smell of sediment.

“Well, the oil yield is still high.” Chu Feng said softly, oil sand beans are a kind of plant highlighted in the vegetable oil squeeze package, the oil yield is comparable to that of rapeseed, but the quality of the oil squeezed out is better than the oil squeezed out of the rapeseed.

Another characteristic of the oil squeezed out of the oil sand bean is that it is not easy to deteriorate for a long time, and it has a unique effect on reducing blood lipids and preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases, so it is also called health oil.

“Then we dig more, there should be a lot around.” Liu Yimeng said excitedly, this oil sand bean can squeeze oil, which solves the problem of daily cooking oil.

“Well, there should be oil sand beans all around.” Chu Feng nodded slightly, and occasionally he could see the dry grass exposed on the snow layer, which was the ripe and dry grass leaves of the oil sand beans.

After ripening, oil sand beans are rich in grease and starch, are not easy to rot and mold in the soil, and have a dormant period, and will re-sprout and grow the next spring, so there should be a large area of oil sand beans around.

The two men put down their bamboo baskets and began to get busy, using the wood knives and sticks they brought to plank the snow layer, clearing a large open space, revealing the sand below, and seeing a lot of dried oil sand beans.

Chu Feng and Liu Yimeng spent nearly an hour clearing the open space with a diameter of five or six meters, and there were dried oil sand beans on the exposed sand.

“Don’t clean up the snow first, dig some out, and the rest will come back next time, too long to go back, they should worry.” Chu Feng said softly, shaking off the snow on the chai knife.

“Okay.” Liu Yiqiu breathed lightly and cleared the snow was not an easy task.

The two squatted down and began to plow the soil, digging out all the oil beans and the root whiskers, shaking off the sand and revealing the tubers on the root whiskers.

“Do you want to pluck the tuber?” Liu Yimeng asked sideways.

“If you don’t pick it, just cut off the dead branches, and then go back and deal with the rest.” Chu Feng shook his head, picking tubers here is too wasteful of time, too late to go back to the girl should worry.

“Okay.” Liu Yimeng nodded lightly and continued to dig the root whiskers of the oil sand bean.

“A lot of tubers have fallen off.”

She adhered to the concept of not wasting, and even the tubers that fell into the sand were turned over.

The originally empty bamboo baskets were soon filled, and the open space began to pile up the oil sand beans that had cut off the dead branches.

Chu Feng turned out the rope, the two were arranged side by side, and the roots of the oil bean were neatly arranged, all piled up and tied with rope.

It took the two of them nearly two hours to dig out all the oil sand beans in the open space and tie them into three large bundles with rope.

“It’s time to go back.” Chu Feng said in a deep voice.

“So much, how to move?” Liu Yimeng threw off her sour and swollen hand, dug into the frozen sand for two hours, and her hand was almost scrapped.

“Like last time, make a sled.” Chu Feng carried the wood knife, turned around and went to the surrounding jungle, picked the right trees, and brandished the wood knife to cut them all down.

He dragged the trunk back, expertly handled the wood, and started making a sled with a rope.

After more than twenty minutes, a simple sled was completed.

Liu Yimeng helped carry the oil sand beans and bamboo baskets onto the sleigh, and then tied them tightly with ropes and sleds.

“Gone.” Chu Feng wrapped the rope around his arm a few times and pulled the sleigh toward the road where he came.

“If only there were horses or cattle.” Liu Yimeng gritted her teeth and pulled on another rope, followed closely behind, obviously the weight of this sleigh was not light.

“When you encounter it later, you can catch a domesticated one.” Chu Feng said softly, at least at present, I have not seen any cattle and horses, and besides, this is an island, will there be cattle and horses?

Some words are estimated to be wildebeests, but although there is a horse word on the name of the wildebeest, in fact it belongs to the bovine family, not a kind of horse.

The two men pulled the sled forward, the speed was not fast, and the snow was too thick, each step was extremely laborious, and it took twice as long to go back than the time they came.

More than an hour later.

“Take a break.” Chu Feng stopped and let the tight rope relax.

“Okay.” Liu Yimeng gasped for breath and sat down on the sleigh.

She pursed her dry lips and asked softly, “How long do you have to go?” ”

They didn’t have a steel pot this time, so they couldn’t make a fire to boil water to drink, originally thought that about three hours was enough to go back and forth, and now because they found the oil sand beans, it took far more than three hours.

“Another hour should get there.” Chu Feng also sipped his lips, he hadn’t gone back for such a long time, that girl should be very worried.

“Let’s take a break and then we’ll keep going.” Liu Yimeng waved his hand weakly, and now he urgently needed to rest.

“Hmm.” Chu Feng sat down on the sleigh, casually picked a piece of the tuber of the oil sand bean, scrubbed it with the snow next to him, and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed.

“Huh? Can you eat oil sand beans raw? Liu Yimeng asked curiously.

“Yes, it’s still sweet, you can try it too.” Chu Feng smiled lightly.

“I’ll taste it.”

Liu Yimeng sideways to pluck the tubers of the oil sand beans from the sleigh, learn from Chu Feng’s appearance and scrub them with the snow, and then stuff it into his mouth and chew.

She was surprised: “Sweet, very delicious.” ”

After the tuber of the oil sand bean is chewed, it will have a faint sweet taste, which relieves the dryness of the throat.
