After traveling through ancient times, she became a wild woman

Chapter 645 Mosquito Repellent Water

Ah Fang, who was being replaced by Arthur, looked at the big one and the little one happily playing on the grass, and squinted his eyes again to bask in the sun.

Xiao Se changed the medicine for Ah Xin and touched its hair: "When the weather is hot, don't wear the animal skin bandage to avoid inflammation and pus. You are so good, lying here all the time, you really don't need it, just don't run around. Okay, you know?"

Ah Fang licked the back of Arthur's hand, knowing it.

It also wanted to recover from its injuries as soon as possible and take Arthur back to the tribe.

The patriarch had carried it all the way and ran so far. It was very moved, how could it put itself in a dangerous place where it could not move.

I’m afraid I understand, it understands everything!
Xiao Se took the animal skin bandage to the stream and washed it before drying it. Looking at the ramie that was about to dry, he smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes and said, "It will be used soon."

That way, Ye Feng would have clothes to wear.

Back at the triangle stove, the water in the clay pot has boiled, and a strange fragrance is emitting.

Xiao Se folded a clean branch into long chopsticks and stirred the three types of leaves in the clay pot: "Cook for another 2 minutes."

Boil for another 2 minutes, wait until it cools down, pour the water out and put it in a can, then pour some alcohol into it, and it will be mosquito repellent toilet water.

However, Xiao Se didn't have alcohol now, so he could only make the mosquito repellent water a little thicker.

While the mosquito repellent water was getting cold, Xiao Se washed his hands and branches, cut the beast meat into thin slices and roasted it on the branches: "I just said I was looking for ginger, but I couldn't find it. There was no salt either."

"Ye Feng's body cannot be without salt for a long time. They used to drink the blood of wild animals to gain strength, but now there is no animal skin or salt."

"It would be better to extract salt directly from plant ash. Although I know salt can also be extracted from urine, but... we should still use plant ash, right?"

Plant ash contains potassium chloride and potassium carbonate. When they are dissolved in water, the potash salt in the plant ash can be separated.

This potassium salt extracted from plant ash can be consumed in small amounts, but it cannot provide electrolytes to the body for a long time.

And it contains potassium nitrate, which tastes bitter and really unpalatable, a bit like chemical fertilizer.

But now, let’s just eat what we can and don’t force too much.

Xiao Se thought about it, and will extract some potassium salt for use later, and now he is busy grilling meat.

Ye Feng came back dragging a large bundle of canes. Xiao Se looked at it and said in surprise: "Chopped so many?"

"Well, get a big backpack." Ye Feng sat on the stone and began to weave rattan, "Didn't you say there are many good things to bring back to the tribe?"

Xiao Se followed Ye Feng's gaze and looked at the Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng on the stone. They were good things.

I was in a hurry for ginseng, so I only dug two ginseng roots.

She couldn't get the Ganoderma lucidum, so she only picked two.

If Ye Feng makes a big backpack, he can indeed pack more good things and go back to the tribe.

Look at her knitted backpack again. There are mulberry leaves and silkworms in it.

Yefeng's backpack should be made larger, and we can dig out more mulberry leaves when the time comes.

"Okay, let's make it bigger." Xiao Se turned the barbecue over, "I plan to extract some salt later."

Ye Feng, who was weaving a large backpack, was startled. He looked at Xiao Se from the rattan, his eyes full of surprise: "Extract salt? Where do you extract it from?"

In Ye Feng’s understanding, isn’t salt only found in bitter water?
Xiao Se said: "It is extracted from urine and plant ash. However, you should not eat too much of it extracted from plant ash. If you eat too much, you will suffer from hyperkalemia."

When Ye Feng heard this, he was very happy: "Really? Why didn't you say it before? Otherwise, we can extract it directly from the plant ash? Our tribe has a lot of plant ash."

"No." Xiao Se refused, "Potassium salt extracted from plant ash will kill the people of our tribe if we eat too much. It's okay to eat a little."

Hyperkalemia can damage various organs of the human body, and has serious effects on the cardiovascular system, nervous system, and digestive system.Bradycardia, weakened heart sounds, arrhythmia, heart failure.

The nervous system will experience numbness in the limbs and lips, shortness of breath and fatigue, and muscle aches throughout the body. In severe cases, irritability, confusion, respiratory failure, and even suffocation may occur.

Ye Feng suddenly realized: "Oh, that's right. According to you, in addition to plant ash, salt can also be extracted from other sources."

Xiao Se nodded: "Well, it can also be extracted from our excrement. There is salt in our sweat. When we have excrement, the sweat will be discharged together."

"But if I had a choice, I would naturally choose plant ash."

In the past, when poor people could not afford salt, they would collect their own urine to extract salt.

The most common one is the urine bucket. When the urine is poured out of the bucket, there will be a layer of gray-white particles on the bucket, which is salt, called nitrate.

The older generation are very wise. They know how to extract salt without salt.

In addition to the hydrochloric acid fruit, which is a urine bucket, and then tracking animals to find rocks.

Old hunters track large herbivores, because herbivores will lick rocks, which contain salt. After being beaten back and purified, they can be turned into salt for human consumption.

Although there is no way to compare it with other salts, it is better than nothing.

Night Breeze understood: "Okay."

In the tribe, we were used to eating flavorful beast meat, but now we eat flavorless beast meat. It doesn't taste good at all, but we must eat it.

"The barbecue is ready." Xiao Se handed the skewers of barbecue to Ye Feng, "Eat first and then weave the basket on your back."

Ye Feng took the skewers of barbecue, and A Di, who smelled the aroma, rushed over and sat obediently in front of Xiao Se, baring his teeth.

Xiao Se smiled happily and handed him five skewers of barbecue: "Eat slowly."

A Di took five skewers of barbecue, stuffed them all into his mouth, and bit off all the skewers.

"Hey!"

Xiao Se quickly stopped him: "This is not how to eat."

Although this toothpick skewer is not very sharp, it is very difficult to eat it in the stomach.

"You want to eat it like this." Xiao Se demonstrated, pulling off the meat on the toothpick skewer and looking at A Di, "This way, do you understand?"

A Di took out all the barbecue in his mouth, pulled off the toothpicks with his hands, and stuffed them into his mouth.

For him, eating like this is the most convenient.

"He's not afraid of getting burned." Ye Feng asked Xiao Se, looking at Adina's fierce eating look.

Xiao Se taught A Di while answering Ye Feng: "Well, I'm not afraid anymore. I've eaten grilled fish before, and I know how to spit out the thorns. You can't handle it with your hands. If you make it so clean, it will become dirty if you handle it with your hands."

"The fingernails are so long, I really want to cut them off."

Xiao Se looked at the sharp fingernails on A Di's hands and wanted to click them off.

Ye Feng said hurriedly: "Don't cut it, this is his weapon."

"Well, that's what I said." Xiao Se watched A Di stop taking off the barbecue and stuffing it into his mouth, and praised him happily, "You're so smart."

If Adi had someone to teach him, he would still be a very cute little baby.

Xiao Se looked at A Di who was eating happily and asked Ye Feng: "He, should we take him back to the tribe?"
