Chapter 258 257. Taro He
A little secret leads the way, and the main character is unreliable.
Although there were no branches to hinder her, it was not easy to push the books aside with a long stick. But Huaiyu took the initiative. It had only been half an hour since they had circled the mountain wall, and they had already stopped several times.
The first time was when Huaiyu asked him to cut down two sticks of Dripping Guanyin.
To this day, the long and thick pole with the huge leaves is still swinging behind the basket. It sways forward from time to time, which can be regarded as blocking a lot of sunlight.
Even Zhou Qian didn't know if the toxicity of this water-dropping Guanyin had mutated, so he had to guard against dripping water from the leaves above his head. He wanted to cut off the leaves and throw them away, but Huaiyu was still unwilling.
The second time is now, because he was commanded to pull out a handful of wild garlic again.
Okay, now who can tell whether it is an outing or exploration?
Wild garlic is not the same as the green garlic in his vegetable patch. The leaves and rhizomes are very small. He cleaned it up with clumsy hands for a long time. When he looked up, he saw Huaiyu lying there trying to build a stone barrier. He took out a small stove and quickly threw away the garlic in his hand:
"I'll do it, I'll do it, you go and choose the vegetables."
She also carried her outdoor multifunctional pot in her backpack. She should have known that it would come in handy, but she didn't expect that it would be used at noon.
Same as putting away the vegetables, the small handful of wild garlic was quickly peeled off in Huaiyu's hands, and then placed in a multi-function pot and washed briefly.
There was no other way. They were not allowed to touch the water diving in the wild. They only brought three pots with them, so they had to save some money.
Here, Zhou Qian had quickly found suitable stones to build a small stove, just enough to hold the multi-function pot, and the hot flames had risen underneath.
He hesitated for a moment: "Do you still need to light a fire to boil water if you only have this wild garlic?"
The water they brought was meant to be boiled.
Unexpectedly, Huaiyu pulled out the two thick dripping Guanyin poles from his backpack: "We will have another taro pole at noon! This is the taro pole."
Zhou Qian:...
"That's a taro!" He said sarcastically: "I thought it looked too much like the Dripping Water Guanyin."
Huaiyu looked at him, no. Qi Ran thought of the rough way the other party put everything into a pot when washing the dishes, and shook his head and sighed:
"Forget it! Just wait and eat."
After that, he looked at his palm: "It's fine, I'm not allergic."
"Will I still be allergic?" Zhou Qian Frowning: "It's okay if you don't eat. Didn't we bring cakes and water? There are also raspberries that we didn't finish in the morning."
A touch of salt and chopped green onion were added to the cake. I eat it cold, so I don’t add much meat, but if it is paired with nutrient solution, it can fill my stomach.
“No.” Huai Yu said in an understatement: “You have been taking nutrient solution for too long. Last time you were in the hospital, the doctor said that your gastrointestinal atrophy was worse than others, and he asked you to eat more!”
According to the doctor's words, eating more may not necessarily allow Zhou Qian to take in enough nutrients that his body needs, but it can ensure the normal functioning of his gastrointestinal tract and prevent problems with other organs.
After all The internal organs of the human body affect the whole body. If you eat too much nutrient solution, the problem will be very serious.
Zhou Qian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "That doesn't mean you have to cook food when you go up the mountain. Just tell me and I can eat an extra portion?"
"That's not possible!" Huai Yu Very solemnly: "If you are not happy when eating, it will be difficult to be happy with other things! Brother Zhou Qian, you have a strong taste and you don't like to eat a lot of seasonings. I didn't dare to add anything when making pancakes - but I brought them Chili, ginger, garlic, oil and salt, I’ll make you some spicy fried taro and lotus for lunch!”
“This pancake should also be delicious.” Zhou Qian couldn’t tell what he was feeling at the moment. Huaiyu quickly took a knife and peeled off the hard skin on the side of the pole. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand: "I'll peel it."
"No need." Huaiyu avoided him: "I must have been used to doing these things before, so I am not very sensitive to this pole. If you haven't touched it, your palms may feel itchy."
"Besides, this is quick - Brother Zhou Qian, don’t throw away the water you just used to wash the onions. Add some more and cook. These poles will be blanched later. Save some water."
< br>Zhou Qian's mood became more complicated. At this moment, he saw that Huaiyu had begun to peel off the old skin on the outside of the taro stalk. He sighed again: "Don't bother me so much next time. Just dig out the taro. You can bury it in the fire." Bake it in a pile and eat it.”
This way, it won’t stick to allergies, and it also saves you all these troubles.
Huaiyu raised his head and looked at him, suddenly curious: "Brother Zhou Qian, I always thought that when you went on missions in the wilderness, you would use local materials, but it turned out that you didn't?"
She raised her hand to gesture to the taro in her hand. Gan'er: "This type of taro is delicious, but the taro at the bottom is too small and has many tendons, so no one can eat it."
Zhou Qian laughed: "It seems that I am still not as good as you in the wild - —We used to have wilderness survival training, but after the disaster, all the knowledge we learned was overturned."
"The iron rule when going out to perform tasks is that you are never allowed to use local materials at will. ”
Just like before he chops the taro leaves, he will not only use a long stick to pluck them, but also carefully probe into the ground. If he had not witnessed the magic of Huaiyu, he would never test it so easily. The blockbuster "Drip Water Guanyin".
Huaiyu's eyes were filled with deep sympathy for a moment - they couldn't use local materials. No wonder they could only drink nutrient solution or eat compressed dry food every time they went on a mission.
However, even if you can obtain local materials, I am afraid that the ones that can be obtained will be very unpalatable, and the delicious ones will need to be fought hard.
She couldn't help but feel proud again: "Look at these taro poles, the two ones I pointed out to you. They thought the two side poles were not good-looking, so they didn't want them - Brother Zhou Qian, you Have you noted the location?”
“If they want to get in shape after a while, we can still cut them.”
Understood.
This is actually a scheduled trip to pick up the goods!
Zhou Qian nodded numbly: "Okay."
Before speaking, the water in the pot was boiling, and Huaiyu cut the taro stalks he had peeled into small pieces - simple The chopping board is made of taro leaves.
Then blanch the water in a pot, wait for the water to boil, and then roll up the taro leaves into a funnel shape and put a plastic bag underneath.
When Zhou Qian listened to the instructions, he poured down all the not-so-hot water and taro stalks in the pot. The upper taro leaves perfectly acted as a funnel, and the water collected in the plastic bag could be used later. Brush the pot.
Even though Zhou Qian had anticipated this set of water-saving and resource-saving combos, he couldn't help but be amazed at this moment.
The next step is to heat the pan, cold oil, stir-fry the dried chili and wild garlic in the oil pan until the aroma is released, and finally pour the drained taro sprouts in, add salt and stir-fry briefly...
Although it is still not completely delicious, the hot, spicy and salty aroma in the air has begun to float.
Update one.
