Louis looked at her. "You mean, go out to sea again?"
"Um."
Sang Ning nodded and said to him, "Could you and Elliott make a trip there together then?"
"Bring back some mangoes, lychees, or other fruits."
"These can be used to brew wine?"
"Don't just focus on wine, there are so many things you can do with fruit."
As she spoke, Sang Ning said, "Mangoes and lychees are not easy to preserve, but we can make them into dried fruit. When it gets cold and there is no fruit, we can rely on dried fruit to supplement our vitamins."
"It's fine to eat it as a snack."
"It can also be made into canned goods, but canning requires aseptic vacuum packaging. With our current resources, we can barely do it, but the shelf life will be very short."
"Is it delicious?"
They don't care whether it's a vitamin supplement or whether it can be eaten as a snack; the only thing they care about is whether dried fruit and canned goods taste good and how they compare to fresh fruit.
Sang Ning's answer was that she would know once she ate it.
Upon hearing this, Emmanuel and the others stopped talking.
There's nothing to ask. Just like Sang Ning said, you'll know whether it's good or not once you've tried it.
The audience's focus was quite unusual.
Ningning, is dried fruit easy to make?
They don't know how to brew wine, and they can't gather all the necessary tools for it in a short time, so they might as well give up on brewing wine and come back to it when they're ready.
But they are genuinely interested in dried fruit, mainly because fresh fruit is readily available.
A stroll through the nature reserve will yield plenty of delicious wild fruits.
If all else fails, you can buy it in the store and learn how to make it. Once you learn, it'll be a new way to eat, which is great.
"Making dried fruit is not difficult."
It's really not difficult, so Sang Ning told the audience, "If you're interested in doing it, you can prepare some fruit and join in."
That's a good option.
The audience members said they would definitely prepare, and then asked her if she could make canned food.
Sang Ning was genuinely troubled. After thinking for a moment, she still couldn't decide whether to give it a try, so she said, "Let me think about it first. We'll decide after we bring the mangoes back."
audience,"ยทยทยท"
It seems like they can give up on this canned food; look how troubled Sang Ning is.
Forget it, they're not greedy; they're happy with this new food, dried fruit.
If you're really having trouble making it, then don't do it. We're not short of food.
Yes, as long as you're happy, we don't ask for much. We're already very grateful that you're willing to teach us how to make dried fruit.
The audience tried to comfort her, but Sang Ning was both amused and exasperated. "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for myself."
It's good that you don't make things difficult for them.
As a result, the audience was truly relieved.
After eating and drinking their fill, Monet returned to the loom to weave, while Sannin and Louis continued working on the cotton-fluffing machine.
I'd seen looms on TV before, and I could recreate one from memory. Plus, with Monet's talent in this area, the long-standing problem of weaving was finally solved.
Sang Ning had never actually seen a manual cotton-fluffing machine, but he had seen modern, electric machines similar to machine tools and could draw them.
However, they had no electricity, so cotton-making machines like machine tools had to be abandoned, and manual machines were the preferred option.
Without knowing anything about it, Sang Ning made a foolish move and produced a bow.
The reason for making the bow is simple: fluffing cotton. The key is in the word "fluffing." Fluff the cotton until it's fluffy, then put a layer of cotton thread on top to wrap the fluffed cotton and prevent it from moving around. Finally, put on a quilt cover and you're all done.
But that's contingent on her idea succeeding.
Looking at the completed bow, Louis picked it up to test its weight and said to Sang Ning, "The weight is just right, and it's not a burden to carry on my shoulder, but there's a problem now: we don't have that flexible, elastic string."
"There are strings."
Sang Ning kept asking, "What do you think about using the tendons of a giant armored beast?"
Louis's eyes lit up instantly. "Okay."
He actually forgot about such a useful tool.
Shall we try it now?
"try."
So, the two of them quickly disassembled a portion of the woven tendon mesh, then pulled out the ends and stretched it outwards. Once it reached the required length, Louis took the laser axe, switched it to ray mode, and cut off a section of the tendon.
Then it was installed on the bow.
Sang Ning tested the string's tension and elasticity, and it was pretty good.
"Let's go and see if we can fluff cotton."
Mu Tao and the others immediately followed to join in the fun, and the audience was even more excited.
[It hasn't been easy. After all this trouble with cotton, it's finally time to see the results. I feel so nervous right now.]
I'm not nervous, I'm just excited. I'm so curious to know how cotton is ginned.
[I'd like to know too, but even if I did, I wouldn't try. It's too much trouble. You have to pick cotton, peel the cotton seeds, and then dry the cotton before it can be processed. There are so many steps that I don't even have the slightest desire to try.]
No, but I'd like to see Emmanuel and his men take action.
The audience was chatting enthusiastically, while Sang Ning and his group had already prepared the cotton.
Looking at the cotton spread on the bed, Louis took a deep breath, turned to Sang Ning, and asked, "Shall I begin?"
"good."
Sang Ning nodded, "Try it out first."
"Um."
Louis responded, then slung the bow over his shoulder, and with a swift pull and release of his left hand on the string, the string, which had slipped from his fingers, landed on the cotton amidst a buzzing sound.
