Chapter 238 Cooking with Medicinal Materials
"Let's eat something before we leave. It's already afternoon." Qi Xuefei looked at the time. "We haven't even had lunch. We can't fill our stomachs, so how can we explore."
"Huh?" When he heard that he was eating, Coco, who was still sleeping in Li Wenxi's arms, suddenly opened his eyes.
"Haha, the little guy is hungry too!" Li Wenxi rubbed Coco's belly.
"Hey!" Keke nodded her little head fiercely.
"Then you guys sit down and I'm going to make a meal." Qi Xuefei stood up and walked to the kitchen.
"I'm here to help!" Li Wenxi also ran to the kitchen.
"Go and sit down, there's no point in asking the guests to help." Qi Xuefei's voice came from the kitchen.
"Oh, it's okay, and my cooking skills are also very good! Wow, sister Xue Fei, your kitchen utensils are so complete, you can make this!"
Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang did not get up to help, but they both raised their watches in unison.
In [Explorer], there has been no movement for a long time.
Brothers Qin Yunlong and Wen Guixin should have met each other by now, and naturally they will not communicate in the group.
Xu Xin spoke in [Explorer]: "The four of us here have met, how are you doing over there?"
Wang Lei: "Haha, I have convinced the brother next door, and now I am walking back with the tree house seeds and people!"
Zhao Xiaochuan: "Persuade? What did you say? Teach me, I will be here soon."
Wang Lei: "That's it, just use physical persuasion. Ask him if he will come. If he doesn't come, beat him. What can I teach you?"
Zhao Xiaochuan: "...What the hell!"
Wen Guixin: "Wang Lei is right. If you don't come, we will fight. Is there any problem? I have already met Qin Yunlong and Qin Yunhu. These two brothers are in really good shape, hehe..."
Qin Yunhu: "..."
Qin Yunlong: "We are now dealing with people from the same district in the surrounding area. We have already dealt with two tree houses. One of them was kicked to death by Wen Guixin for not obeying the advice, and the other one was brought back."< br>
Wang Lei: "Kicked to death...she is really a female tyrannosaurus!"
Wen Guixin: "? What? Do you want to challenge me, the most powerful person in this group?"
Wang Lei: "No, Buddha is auspicious..."
Wen Guixin: "I am in a good mood now, and I am not as familiar with you."
Zhao Xiaochuan: "By the way, I tried the thing you mentioned before about the vines becoming thicker and stronger, but it doesn't happen here? It's still the same kind of vine."
Wen Guixin: "It's the same here. They are all ordinary mutated vines. I don't see them getting thicker."
The words of these two people made Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang look at each other.
"Only our side is special?" Ji Chaoyang touched his chin and thought.
"Perhaps, only that location is special." Xu Xin pointed in the direction of Li Wenxi's tree house. It was to the north of Li Wenxi's tree house that they encountered such a group of monsters.
"Well, it's possible." Ji Chaoyang nodded, "Because there is something nearby, so the vines have become stronger?"
Xu Xin suddenly thought of the abnormality of Silver King.
He turned to look at Silver King lying on the ground.
Since leaving Li Yajun's area, Silver King has never seen blood streaks light up again. And Li Yajun's tree house is very close to the place where they tested the vines before.
Is there any connection between the two?
Is there really a problem in that area?
Xu Xin told Ji Chaoyang about the abnormality of Silver King.
"The Silver King has also become stronger... Let's focus on exploring that area today." Ji Chaoyang said thoughtfully.
"There is also a special place near my tree house." Xu Xin was naturally referring to the hilly resource area and the salt mine cave. "I have never been there since the defense war."
"I also have a very special place over there. Our two treehouses are not far apart, so let's go together." Ji Chaoyang nodded.
"Okay, I'm just on my way. First go to Li Yajun's tree house, then go to my place, and finally go to your place." The two finalized the itinerary.
At this time, Li Wenxi and Qi Xuefei had already come out with four plates of dishes.
"Dangdang, three dishes and one soup, how about it, not bad!" Li Wenxi brought the dishes to the coffee table, "I fried these two dishes! However, there are not many seasonings, so I can only stir-fry them briefly."
"...Is it so rich? There are quite a lot of ingredients." Xu Xin looked at the four dishes on the table, a little surprised.
Qi Xuefei’s tree house does not have a planting house. Moreover, he didn't recognize any of these four dishes. Could they be medicinal materials?
As expected, Qi Xuefei put the dishes on the table and said: "These are stir-fried with the medicinal materials I cultivated in the breeding room. They are very precious. Remember to eat them all."
Is it really medicinal?
"Hey..." Coco shrank into Xu Xin's arms. The snack food flinched a little when he heard the medicinal materials.
The corners of Xu Xin's eyes twitched: "Do you usually take medicinal herbs?"
"For me, medicinal materials are easier to obtain than vegetables." Qi Xuefei gave everyone a pair of chopsticks and sat down. "Moreover, a reasonable combination is good for the body. These things are very expensive on earth. And now. The jungle is deserted, and there are no ordinary fruits and vegetables for sale on the trading platform. It would be nice to have these.”
"Are the medicinal materials delicious?" Ji Chaoyang was a little interested, stretched out his chopsticks, took a bite and put it into his mouth.
"Hmm...it's not delicious. It's usually a little bitter, but it's edible."
"Hmm...it's indeed bitter, but it's also very fragrant. This is my first time eating stir-fried medicinal herbs." Li Wenxi had already started using her chopsticks. "Try this stir-fried pork. It tastes really good, with a bit of bitterness and astringency." Fragrant! ”
After taking a few bites, the corners of Xu Xin's mouth twitched a few times.
He felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
Currently, they don't have seasonings like soy sauce, chili pepper, etc. that can mask the taste. They only have salt, but salt can enhance the freshness and even bring out the bitterness of the medicinal materials. These dishes were simply miserable.
"Huh..." Coco stopped eating after only one bite. She pushed Xu Xin with her little paw. Xu Xin understood what it meant and handed it an apple. It crawled to the side with the apple in its mouth and gnawed it away. .
In this way, several people finished the meal of fried herbs.
"Wow, this meal... is so special." Li Wenxi stuck out her tongue, "It's so bitter!"
"...Sister Xuefei, if you are short of vegetables in the future, you can ask us for..." Xu Xin's mouth was filled with bitterness. He felt that this taste might last forever in his mouth.
We must believe in the wisdom of our ancestors. Although there is nothing that cannot be eaten, things that taste good are made into food, and things that taste bad are made into medicinal materials.
Although this sentence was meant as a joke, the fried meat with medicinal herbs... was really unpalatable.
"I don't care." Qi Xuefei didn't know whether she was sensitive to bitterness or had gotten used to it. She finished the meal with a normal expression on her face.
"I think it's okay." Ji Chaoyang put down his chopsticks and said with a smile, "Actually, it's not as bad as bitter melon. I do like cold bitter melon."
Xu Xin's mouth twitched.
Cold bitter melon...Is that really something people can eat...
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Everyone has eaten and drank enough. Time is precious, so it's time for us to set off." He immediately ended the topic and stood up.
"Hey!" Coco climbed onto his shoulder twice.
Silver King and White Horse also stood up.
"Hmm...how are we going to go? I don't want to ride a wolf anymore..." Qi Xuefei looked at Silver King.
Even after eating such a bitter dish, his face turned pale instantly. She will have a psychological shadow.
"Isn't there a white horse? Let Ji Chaoyang take you!" Li Wenxi pointed at the white horse, which was even larger than the Silver King.
"I can take you," Ji Chaoyang nodded, "Don't worry, the horse is much more stable to ride than the wolf."
"That... okay then." Qi Xuefei glanced at Ji Chaoyang and agreed.
The four of them came to the tree house. Xu Xin pushed Li Wenxi onto the wolf's back, and then climbed onto the wolf's back.
On the other side, Ji Chaoyang also rode on the white horse, while Qi Xuefei was behind, grabbing his waist.
"Wow, you two look so good together, Prince Charming and Snow White!" Li Wenxi teased, leaning into Xu Xin's arms and holding Coco.
"You little girl, don't talk nonsense!" Qi Xuefei glared at Li Wenxi, and Li Wenxi laughed.
"Xu Xin, please lead the way and take a look at Li Yajun's area first." Ji Chaoyang said to Xu Xin as if he had not heard their conversation.
"Okay." Xu Xin nodded, and then said to King Silver, "King Silver, go to the ruined tree house first!"
"Ouch--" Silver King let out a wolf howl and rushed out suddenly.
Ji Chaoyang and Qi Xuefei followed closely behind.
"Hey Xu Xin, do you think Ji Chaoyang and Sister Xue Fei are a good match?" Li Wenxi poked her back with her elbow and whispered, "Both of them, no matter their appearance or age, are a good match!"
"You guy..." Xu Xin glanced at her helplessly, "The two of them just met today, and you want to match them up already?"
"Hehe, don't you think they are very compatible just looking at them? Think about it, Ji Chaoyang is one year older than Sister Xue Fei, but the two of them stand together, as if they are in love with each other, which is a bit exciting. Alas!" The more Li Wenxi thought about it, the more it made sense.
"You love brain!" Xu Xin patted her head gently, "There will be a new crisis soon. It's cold and difficult to survive. Please wake up!"
"Hey, doesn't it make me feel safe when I meet everyone?" As she said that, Li Wenxi crossed her legs, sat sideways on the wolf's back, hugged Xu Xin with both hands, pressed her face into his arms, and said softly , "We will definitely get through this difficulty if we work together."
"Slow down, the Silver King is moving through the jungle too fast, we can't keep up!" Ji Chaoyang's voice came from behind.
"Oh okay!" Xu Xin responded, causing King Yin to slow down slightly.
Soon, the four of them saw the ruins of Ma Hongyu's tree house after it collapsed.
Qi Xuefei let go of her hand holding Ji Chaoyang's waist, her face turned pale. It seemed that not only was it uncomfortable to ride the wolf, but she was also a little uncomfortable riding the horse, but it seemed much better than when she was riding the Silver King.
"This is Ma Hongyu's treehouse, and he is buried nearby by us."
"I don't want to know where you bury people." Ji Chaoyang shook his head, "Let's keep walking. That tree house in the south belongs to Li Yajun, right?"
"Yes, that's right..." Xu Xin's words stopped abruptly.
"What's wrong?" Everyone looked at Xu Xin.
I saw Xu Xin's eyes staring straight at the back of the ruins.
Looking through his eyes, the pupils of several people shrank.
I saw a touch of red swaying in the wind among the desolation.
It was a half-meter-high flower with yellow stamens and bright red petals, which looked eerie and beautiful.
