The eldest daughter of the emperor, she began to build a city wildly

Chapter 23

After a while, Wu Chong brought someone over with a big tree with a thick waist. Su Tang asked him to peel off the bark and knocked on the trunk continuously, causing balls of starch to fall down.

Sure enough, it was a flour tree. Su Tang collected the starch, added some water, kneaded it into a ball and roasted it on the fire.

Xiao Che observed carefully from the side, it seemed that he was overthinking the worry just now.

Su Tang put the baked brown cake in his mouth, and after chewing it carefully, he felt that the taste was really good, even better than flour.

"You all have a taste." Su Tang made some and distributed them to everyone.

Xiao Che looked at the cake made of tree powder, it seemed that it looked pretty good, it was soft and delicious when he bit into it, he never imagined that this kind of food was taken from the tree trunk.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the two of them after eating, the others also started to eat.

"It's delicious." A young man stared at the edible tree with wide eyes.

"Better than flour."

"Amazing."

"Master is so smart, he actually knows that this kind of tree can be eaten." Yingyue looked at the crushed tree residue beside her in amazement, wondering how the hard tree trunk could make such delicious food.

"How do you know this kind of tree can be eaten?" Xiao Che looked at Su Tang and asked.

"I saw it in a miscellaneous book. I think someone broke into the deep mountain before and found that this kind of tree can be eaten." Su Tang casually made an excuse for himself.

With the flour tree, Su Tang felt more at ease, at least in the future when the village has nothing to eat, there are still these things that can save lives.

Wu Chong and the others cut down some trees and filled several baskets with flour. Su Tang decided to go back to Fufeng Village. The mountains are so big, so he can only wait and find them later.

When they extinguished the fire, packed up and were ready to go, a young man came over with an animal, "Second Master, do you think this thing looks like a bamboo rat, it's just bigger."

Wu Chong looked at the bared-toothed, viciously squawking animal, which didn't look like a bamboo rat, "Take it with you, and roast it tonight."

The little animal seemed to be able to understand human speech, and when it heard that it was about to be roasted and eaten, its yelling became more urgent, but it didn't sound fierce at all, instead it was cute.

Su Tang was wondering what kind of animal could be called so cute, so he turned his head and took a look, the corners of Su Tang's mouth twitched slightly in fright.

The iconic dark circles and black lines on a white background, isn't this cute and cute that the whole world loves so much?
This one is about the size of a cat and should be only a few months old. At this time, its two small eyes are showing a fierce light, which is in stark contrast to its cute appearance.

"Where did you find it?" Su Tang stepped forward and grabbed the back of Rolling's neck, but his body was dirty, his stomach was flattened from hunger, and he was extremely embarrassed.

"At the place where the tree was cut just now, I saw it poking around, so I went up and caught it."

"It's so cute, let's keep it." Su Tang rubbed its little head, how could it be willing to eat it if it was so cute.

Xiao Che looked at Su Tang's admiration, "This is an iron-eating beast, very ferocious, are you sure you want to raise it?"

"Iron-eater? That's it?" Su Tang pointed to the gun in his hand and asked in doubt.

"Well, this animal even eats iron pots. An adult iron-eating beast runs extremely fast, and can kill a cow with one punch." Xiao Che said, if he meets an adult, even he has to dodge.

This is not the same as Su Tang's impression of the honest and cute, dull and cute Gun Gun.

The system explained to her in his mind, "You think the simple and honest pandas are raised very well in the zoo, and they are naturally indifferent to the world. The real wild pandas can run up to ten kilometers in an hour, and the bite force of their mouths is stronger than that of African leopards." Strong, it is no exaggeration to kill a cow with one punch, even lions and tigers dare not mess with it.

As for eating iron, it is because it likes to lick the salty taste on the iron pan when it goes to the village to steal food. It is not really eating iron. This only has a good IQ evolution, but it can be raised and tried. "

Only then did Su Tang recall that leaders and the like would bring pandas to fight a long time ago. It seems that pandas in this world are still very wild. If they can be raised, they will be good fighters.

"Maybe you can develop feelings." Su Tang patted the dust off Rolling's body.

Presumably, he found it by smelling the aroma of Su Tang's grilled food, so he gave him some of the leftover scones just now, and the little guy devoured it hungrily.

"Are there any adult pandas nearby?" Su Tang asked the system. If there were adult pandas following them, they might not be able to take them away.

"Not within one kilometer, such a big one is outside alone, either already living alone, or something happened to the parents and it is the only one left." The system scanned around and found nothing unusual.

"You will follow me from now on, okay?" Su Tang rubbed its head, thinking that it was extremely hungry, and swallowed two pancakes in a few mouthfuls.

The two small eyes in the dark circles turned away the fierce light that was shown just now, as if they understood Su Tang's words, they patted Su Tang's hand with their thick paws as a gesture of goodwill.

Su Tang was overjoyed, it seemed that his IQ was indeed not low, so he was going to pick it up and put it in the basket.

Huh?Su Tang looked at the white powder it had slapped on his hand, and then looked at its four paws. There was some powder stuck to the black bear paws, where it should have been stepped on.

Su Tang carefully observed the powder, which looked like saltpeter.

"Which direction did it come from?" Su Tang asked the young man just now.

Su Tang led them back to look for them in the direction they were coming from. Sure enough, when they left the flour forest, they could see a bare mountain covered with white powder, which looked very similar to the saltpeter mine described systematically. .

"Yingyue, get some water." It's actually very easy to identify whether it's saltpeter or not.

Putting saltpeter in water can condense water into ice. The ancient cold drink sellers without electrical appliances took advantage of this. They kept adding saltpetre to the water, and put the jars containing sweet fruit juice in it, and it became the ice that quenched thirst in summer. drink.

"It's frozen." Yingyue exclaimed as she looked at the bamboo tube that was starting to get cold.

The temperature here is very hot and dry, how could there be frozen water, a group of unbelieving people leaned over to see that the thin layer of ice on the bamboo tube was indeed ice.

"How is this possible." Wu Chong shook his head thinking he was dazzled, "If you add some powder to the water, it will freeze? This is too incredible."

"It's like casting a spell, it's amazing." One of the young men said, "Village Master, it's so hot, can you drink ice water to quench your thirst?"

"Water with saltpeter can't be drunk directly, you have to fill it with water in a bottle or something and put it in the cold to take it out before drinking." Su Tang said.

Xiao Che stood at the side without saying a word, looking at the saltpeter on a hill with a sullen expression, wondering what he was thinking.

"Young Master Xiao, you can have someone bring some back. It's also great for making iced drinks to quench your thirst." Su Tang said.

The people here are also rich and they can dig ice cellars to store ice in winter and use it in summer. For ordinary people, ice in summer is a rare and luxurious thing.

"Okay." Xiao Che replied without hesitation.

Su Tang asked Wu Chong to pack some saltpeter, and took some sulfur with him when he passed the sulfur mine on the way back, planning to go back and try to make gunpowder.

Speaking of which, the harvest of entering the mountain this time is not bad, and I have everything I want, which is enough to prove that the resources of this mineral vein are still very rich.
