Palm fruit can actually be refined into two kinds of oil, one is the palm kernel oil squeezed from the kernel, this oil is not much different from other vegetable oils, especially similar to the coconut oil that belongs to the palm family, and the other is palm oil refined from the pulp, the chemical composition of this oil is very different from the vegetable oil squeezed from the general kernel seeds, more like animal fat, the edible value is not high, the taste is not good, and long-term consumption is even harmful to the human body, but it is still very good to make daily necessities such as soap.
Speaking of which, the tropics are truly abundant, and such a small island has found so many valuable plants.
Now that they have plenty of fish, a few tropical fruits, cooking oil and a few spices, they can say that they should have no worries about survival, at least they won't starve to death.
But unfortunately, they have not been able to find any kind of grain, as the Chinese who are used to eating rice and wheat, this makes them quite uncomfortable, although the nutrition of fish is not worse than cereals, but it is not good to use it as a staple food, in fact, only ten days, they are basically tired of eating Everyone misses rice, steamed buns, and bread infinitely.
To be honest, Fang Jinyan is rather pessimistic about this, in fact, the probability of finding wild grains on a desert island is not large, and whether it is rice or various types of wheat, the origin is temperate, and even if it is found, it is unlikely that a whole field of rice or wheat will appear, with the needs of more than 100 people now, it is not enough to eat, and if you want to keep planting seeds, you will have to wait at least three or four months to eat.
Soon, though, they solved the problem because they found cassava, a food crop that is extremely prevalent in the tropics In the upper reaches of the creek, they found a large cassava forest, with some perennial plants with leaves similar to castor beans, and generally grew to more than three meters tall.
Of course, cassava can not be regarded as a grain, but its planting is extremely convenient, the yield is amazing, the yield per mu can reach more than 2000 kilograms, and the highest record can even reach more than 5000 kilograms, "10,000 catties per mu" is really not a dream Although its taste and edible value are certainly not as good as rice and wheat, they are still very qualified as staple foods, and in fact, many African black uncles use them as staple foods.
Cassava is extremely high in starch, which is exactly what the victims need at the moment, and the intake of starch can give them instant strength.
When the expedition team found them, several boys immediately dug some out and prepared to eat them raw In their opinion, cassava should be the same kind of thing as sweet potatoes, and it looks a bit similar, sweet potatoes can be eaten raw, and cassava can of course be However, Mu Tielong stopped them, because he knew that cassava contained a small amount of toxin, and it was possible to be poisoned if eaten raw, and it needed to be soaked in water and processed before eating.
So they dug up hundreds of kilograms of cassava and brought them back.
That night, the girls baked dried cassava and cooked cassava paste, and Zhou Rong and a few other ingenious girls even made bread out of tapioca flour and baked it.
Although it doesn't look very good, it tastes unexpectedly delicious, a bit like Xinjiang naan Of course, it is also possible that they have not consumed starch for a long time, and they even find the tapioca paste that looks very bad to taste amazing Because that cassava forest is not small, and this thing is extremely high-yielding, their food is completely worry-free for the time being.
Of course, everyone is very happy about this.
Zhou Rong was eating her masterpiece "Cassava Naan" while talking about the mountains: "I used to read the theory of labor in textbooks, and I felt that primitive people must have lived a very hard life, and they must have worked hard every day and couldn't eat enough, and they felt that they were really happy, but later I learned that it was not like that at all, in fact, the most labor-intensive is actually our modern people, the ancient apes are like monkeys, they don't need any labor at all, just eat all kinds of fruits, and even the word labor is because of human beings."
Animals basically don't work, they eat ready-made. ” "Yes, in fact, many primitive tribes in the modern tropics basically do not need to work, they just rely on the sky to eat the sky, such as the Samoans, it is said that they only need to plant a dozen baobab trees in their lives, and the family will basically have no worries about food and clothing, the fruit of the baobab tree can be eaten as bread by slicing and baking, or it can be eaten directly as a fruit, thick trunks, and can even be hollowed out as a house to live, as for clothes, tropical people really don't need it, but it's a pity that this magical tree is not found on this island."
Zhu Qianqian also said in a good mood.
"Then what if they get sick or encounter a natural disaster," Xu Xiaoyao asked inappropriately.
"Why are you so serious, let's just say that we are destroying the atmosphere."
Zhou Rong pretended to be angry and gave her a blank look.
In fact, she doesn't have any ill feelings towards Xu Xiaoyao, although sometimes she can't tell the difference, but she doesn't have any bad intentions, but Zhu Qianqian and Liu Yun, two lamps that are not fuel-efficient, often compete with her secretly "But then again, although you are a little ignorant, but you really asked the key, although the human beings in the primitive society will generally live more comfortably, and will not be as tired as a dog every day like modern people, but their ability to resist diseases and natural disasters is indeed a big problem, once it happens, it will basically perish, so our modern labor is not completely meaningless," Zhou Rong said.
"You're right, although we have solved the food problem now and barely have a place to live, it doesn't mean that we are upright and carefree, we still have to fight if we want to live a better and more stable life on this island."
Zhao Lan happened to hear their conversation and walked over to say.
"Some people don't think so, they're thinking about being lazy right now, and they're going to have a party."
Zhou Rong glanced at a few boys who were eating and drinking in the distance, and said something.
"That's it, these idiots used to be lazy, and they always let others do dangerous things, and in the end they were embarrassed to say that we girls didn't do anything."
Zhu Qianqian also supported.
"If you want me to say, the real reason is that our current management is too chaotic, and Captain Liu is too easy to talk to, and he always relies on these unconscious people."
Liu Yun said.
"Brother Liu doesn't want to cause contradictions, it's not easy to do in his position," Zhao Lan sighed and said.
"But you can't just let honest people suffer, like our team leader Fang, he is obviously not in good health, just because many people who understand it are also easy to talk, but he takes the lead in doing everything, which is too unfair" Zhou Rong said for Fang Jinyan.
Of course, this is only part of the reason, but more because she feels that she has suffered a loss compared to other girls, but it is inconvenient to say it directly, so she uses Fang Jinyan to express her dissatisfaction.
"Yes, those who can work hard, and waste enjoys happiness, so who is willing to take the initiative to work."
Liu Yun also said.
"What you said is very reasonable, in a few days Captain Liu will hold a general meeting to talk about our future plans, it is possible that the captain and the team leader will be re-elected, and then you can stand up and express your opinions, and even you can run for the captain," Zhao Lan said.
"Forget it, we don't want to be the first bird, in case we are hated by others, girls like us will be in big trouble, besides, if we want to run, we will definitely not be elected."
Zhou Rong said disapprovingly.
"Some people are already moving around canvassing for votes, forming gangs, I'm afraid no one will be able to compete with them by then."
Zhu Qianqian also said.
"Do you have something to say to me" Zhao Lan saw that these girls were singing and harmonizing, obviously meaning something.
When the three girls heard this, their expressions really moved, and they exchanged glances, and then Zhou Rong walked to Zhao Lan's side, lowered her voice and said, "Sister Zhao, you have a visit with us, we want to discuss something with you" Zhao Lan did not refuse, and followed the three girls to a more remote place.
Xu Xiaoyao looked at their figures, she didn't know why, obviously she didn't know anything about it.
"What the hell is so mysterious," she said.
"Actually, it's about the next captain election, we hope you can be elected, and we will definitely vote for you when the time comes."
Zhou Rong said quietly.
Zhao Lan was very smart, and it was easy to see that Zhou Rong was not telling the truth, it was just a temptation.

"You should know very well that even if I run, I don't have a lot of hope, because I'm a woman, they can't vote for me, and there are many more of them than us, just say whatever you want, don't beat around the bush, don't worry, I won't blame you."
She said.
"Okay, then I'll be really straightforward, whether you want to promise, whether you agree or not, don't tell anyone."
Zhou Rong said as she looked at Zhao Lan's expression.
"Okay, I promise, you name it."
Zhao Lan said very sincerely.
"Actually, we are looking for you because we don't want Mu Tielong to be elected as the captain in the future."
Zhou Rong hesitated for a moment, but still said it directly.
"Why," Zhao Lan asked.
"Everyone in their gang has character problems, and if he is elected captain, it will not be a good thing for all of us women."
Liu Yun said at this time. t1706231537:
