"Something to eat? Junior brother, are you referring to these weeds?"

The group stopped and looked at the plants in front of them. Su Lingxuan asked Li Hengdao with some doubts.

Nothing in front of me looked edible, but when I thought about it, Li Heng could even turn pebbles into dishes, and it didn't feel that strange anymore.

"This is not a weed. Its scientific name is tiger whip. Bah, no, it's knotweed, knotweed!"

Li Heng wiped his sweat. He originally wanted to say it was Japanese knotweed, but for some reason he hesitated. It was definitely not intentional.

Polygonum cuspidatum is also called piebald bamboo, sour tube stem, and wild sour stem. Li Heng ate this kind of thing when he had no money to buy snacks when he was a child.

The edible part of knotweed is its stem, but the outer skin needs to be peeled off first.

As for the taste, one word to describe it is sour. Li Heng thinks its acidity can even compete with lemon.

"This thing should be in line with Elder Leng Zhong's taste!" Li Heng thought to himself.

"Kitweed? What a weird name. How do you eat it?"

Curious Jiang Mei asked Li Hengdao. It was not the first time she had seen this thing, but it was the first time she had heard someone say it was edible.

Before Li Heng could answer, the two little ones had already taken action. They gathered a handful of knotweed leaves and were about to feed them into their mouths.

"I asked you two to wait a moment. This is not how Japanese knotweed is eaten."

Li Heng quickly stopped the two crazy little ones, and then showed everyone the correct way to eat knotweed.

After selecting a straight knotweed, Li Heng bent down and cut off its hollow stem. After stabbing it a few more times, he skillfully peeled off the skin.

I took a bite with great nostalgia.

"How is it? Is it delicious?"

Others looked at Li Heng curiously, looking eager to try.

"It's okay. It tastes a little sour at first, but it has a hint of sweetness after eating it."

Polygonum cuspidatum is not as sour as black sour fruit, which makes people dare not try it easily. It should be within everyone's tolerance.

"So amazing! Let's try it too."

After watching Li Heng's teaching, everyone learned a lot. After a while, everyone had a knotweed in their hands and enjoyed eating it.

“I didn’t expect that something this humble in appearance tastes so good.”

Miss Ruyan sighed happily.

Jiang Mei also didn't expect that something she had always regarded as a weed could actually be eaten, and it tasted pretty good.

After everyone had eaten almost all the knotweed in their hands, Li Heng planned to continue taking everyone out.

"Brother Li Heng, wait for me for a while."

Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly said, Li Heng turned around after hearing the words, and then saw her take out a knife and cut off all the remaining knotweed from the bottom.

Then the two little ones divided the pile of knotweed stalks into two parts and put them into their own rings.

"Are you two going to be so exaggerated? Did I not give you food or something?"

Others just tasted the taste of Japanese knotweed, but the two little guys just collected them all without missing a single one. This is the rhythm of eating them.

"Since you love eating so much, you two might as well take the roots back and plant them. Then won't there be endless knotweed stalks to eat in the future?"

Li Heng originally wanted to make fun of the two little ones, but Lu Xiaoxiao actually thought what he said made sense, and finally dug up a few roots and brought them with him.

On the next journey, the two little ones no longer ran around, but hung on Li Heng one after another, eating the knotweed one after another.

From time to time, Li Heng would be fed a mouthful. It didn't take long for Li Heng to feel that his teeth were a little sore, but the two little ones didn't seem to be affected and were still eating happily.

After walking for about half an hour, when Li Heng passed by a forest, he took an unintentional glance and unexpectedly discovered a spice that is very common on Earth.

"Look what I found! It's a wild cinnamon forest."

Li Heng was even more excited now than when he discovered the knotweed. This trip was worth it just because he discovered the cinnamon.

"Cinnamon?"

Two words popped out of the two little ones' mouths. It was obvious that they had never heard of this kind of tree.

Cinnamon usually refers to the dried bark of the cinnamon tree. In addition to being a commonly used spice in the kitchen, it also has high medical value.

As a kind of Chinese medicinal material, its main functions are: promoting blood circulation and promoting menstruation, replenishing fire and aphrodisiac. It can be said to be a gas station for men and a sanatorium for women.

However, Li Heng does not understand traditional Chinese medicine, and the above effects are just hearsay.

He is more concerned about cinnamon as a spice, which can remove fishy smell and increase aroma during the cooking process.

Speaking of cinnamon, Li Heng thought of five-spice powder, a condiment made from cinnamon and four other spices.

After his introduction, everyone finally became interested in the inconspicuous forest in front of them. After all, it was related to food, so it was impossible not to pay attention.

"Brother Li Heng means this is edible? Hehe, let me try it first."

The deer Xiaoxiao, who was thinking clearly, stretched his neck, came to a cinnamon tree, and sniffed the leaves with his nose.

You can indeed smell a faint, unique aroma. It seems that brother Li Heng did not lie to her.

The deer Xiaoxiao opened his mouth without hesitation, grabbed a leaf, flicked his head to the side, and pulled the leaf off the branch.

Then suck the leaves into your mouth like noodles.

"Bah chirp, bah chirp."

He puffed up his cheeks and started chewing. Before Li Heng could stop him, Xiao Chi also grabbed a few cinnamon leaves and put them into his mouth.

Seeing an eagle chewing leaves, Li Heng felt a little weird no matter how he thought about it.

"Are you two dirty? You should wash yourself before eating."

Li Heng said with disdain and disdain to the two little ones, as a chef, he hated to see others not caring about cleanliness.

"Brother Li Heng is so hypocritical. Have you ever seen any spiritual beast that washes with water before eating?"

Um, why did Li Heng think Lu Xiao's novel seemed quite reasonable?

"Hmm, hypocritical."

Xiao Chi has now become Lu Xiaoxiao's repeater. She always adds a few words to whatever others say.

"Is it delicious?"

Girl Ruyan on the side asked with a hint of expectation.

If Lu Xiaoxiao could say the word "delicious", Li Heng estimated that she would dare to grab a handful of leaves and taste it herself.

"It doesn't taste good, it doesn't taste good."

"Bah, bah."

Lu Xiaoxiao shook her head repeatedly. Perhaps the cinnamon leaves did not suit her taste, so she chewed them a few times and then spat them out.

Li Heng didn't want to deal with these two weirdos who ate leaves raw, so he plucked them from his body.

Now he is going to collect some bark from the cinnamon tree so that he can take it back and make spices, so that he can unlock some new dishes.

Li Heng just started peeling off the tree bark with a small knife.

"Master Li Feng, how can we help?"

Several girls who were watching asked Li Hengdao that they were bored just standing around and watching, so they wanted to find something to do.
