Searching for food through the beast world

Bamboo rice

The sharp-toothed pig that Kun caught today is really big enough, and Ding Xiao saw the figure of that pig from a long distance away.After calculating the food intake of myself and Kun, it is estimated that this is enough to eat until I go home.Sadly, isn't it necessary to carry it every day?

"Kun, didn't you say that you don't want to hunt big beasts? It's too hard to hold a pig with such a big tooth. And it's enough to eat for several days, and it won't be good if it breaks." The point is that he just I brought a bamboo tube of salt, which is not enough to marinate so much pork!

Kun replied: "I can carry it on my back. It can be stored for a long time after roasting the branches of the black incense tree. I only caught it when I saw the black incense tree." After talking, the two arrived near the pig. Kun bent down and picked up the black incense tree. A pitch-black branch was handed to Ding Xiao. "Smell it, it's very fragrant."

The scent in the nose is indeed very comfortable.Ding Xiao touched it very curiously, but his hands were not dyed.Sky Eye shows that this branch is non-toxic, but it has no other attributes.Theoretically, it is not suitable for eating.But according to Kunna, people here have already started using this tree to smoke food for preservation. "Is this black incense tree rare? Why haven't you and Dad used it before?"

Kun nodded: "There are very few black incense trees, and they grow in different places every year. I heard from the old orcs in the village that there were many such black incense trees in the past, but because the orcs all chopped them for barbecue, so the more Come less and less."

Sure enough, it is impossible to exploit something that is usable without knowing how to protect it! "Then let's try planting it! Does this kind of tree bear fruit?"

"It bears very small black fruits. Is that a seed? Then there should be just now." In fact, the black incense tree is just a novel choice for them now.He has lived for 50 years, and he has only eaten food baked from the black incense tree a dozen times.The taste is indeed very fragrant, but it doesn't matter if you don't have it.And he thinks that Xiaoxiao's meat marinated with spices is the most delicious even if it is grilled with ordinary wood.

"That's good! Let's pick some later and try to grow them when we go back. You clean up the pigs first. I'll go get the shrimp cages!" After speaking, Ding Xiao excitedly ran to the river, carefully looking for them yesterday The mark left is the stone with the shrimp cage hanging from the grass vine.

When Ding Xiao pulled the grass, he knew that the harvest in the shrimp cage must be not small.After pulling it out vigorously, I found that besides the shrimp, there were also a few greedy small fish.

He carefully got the fish into his hand and put it back into the river. After counting, there were 23 prawns left. The smallest one was seven or eight centimeters long, and the largest one was only as long as his palm. He was so happy that he yelled immediately Get up: "Kun! Look, there are so many shrimps!"

Brother Kun's hands were covered with blood at this time, and he looked very scary.But when he heard his partner calling him, the expression on his face was extremely gentle. "Smiling is smart. It was very difficult for us to catch shrimps before, much more difficult than catching fish. And catching one or two is not enough to fit between the teeth." Although the taste of shrimp is indeed delicious, but they are not very hungry, they are not male at all. I am interested in trying to get this stuff.

Ding smiled and said: "That's right! Let me tell you, eating shrimp is very beneficial! Especially for males, it can also nourish the kidney and strengthen the yang! Uh... what kind of eyes are you?!!!" He realized that he was talking bald, but he also knew that it was too late to regret it.Are you short-hearted?

Other words may have to think about it to understand.But Brother Kun immediately understood the truth of the four characters of "tonifying the kidney and strengthening yang".He remembered smilingly saying that kidneys are also called kidneys, so the meaning of nourishing the kidney and strengthening yang is self-evident. "Then I will eat more!"

Eat more farts! !This is self-inflicted evil!No, today the shrimp must protect the fruit, just give him a few.I was miserable yesterday, and now I still feel that my thighs are worn out when I walk.These linen pants are not as soft as cotton!It's okay when there is no problem, but once the skin is broken and injured, it will really suffer.well!Sin!

Shrimp is the simplest boiled shrimp.Ding Xiao decided to use a simple method to dislike Kun, a guy with a strong taste!

But Xiaoxiao was wrong, not to mention that the practice of boiling shrimp in salt water can bring out the umami taste of shrimp, which is the best way to make shrimp.Let's just say that when Kun heard the words "tonifying the kidney and strengthening the yang", wouldn't he still dislike it?What a naive cub!

But Xiaoxiao still tried her best to protect the fruits of her labor. Of the 23 prawns, Kun only ate six.The rest is all smiles.Seeing that his partner looks like he loves to eat, Brother Kun is naturally reluctant to snatch it. Anyway, he also made a calculation in his heart.This shrimp cage is made by myself.In the future, if I have time, I will go to the riverside to put in the cage, and then I will have a lot of shrimp to eat. Haha, Xiaoxiao will definitely be more satisfied! (--)

The porridge cooked with rice crackers and diced bamboo meat is really extraordinary.After the rice crackers are boiled, they are stickier than real rice, like a variety between rice and glutinous rice.And the taste is quite good, the main reason is that the smell of rice makes Ding Xiao, who has not eaten rice for more than half a year, so happy that he doesn't know where Bei is! (Otherwise you don’t know where North is! ╭(╯^╰)╮)

I ate two mouthfuls of the rice fruit and bamboo meat porridge that Xiaoxiao regarded as a treasure.Although it doesn't have any salty taste, it is really fragrant, which is very different from the feeling of eating bamboo meat directly yesterday.No wonder Xiaoxiao likes it, it's really not bad.With fried pork and muddy vegetables, it is more comfortable than eating barbecue and stew in the morning. "Smile, there seems to be no room to plant rice fruit trees in our field, right?"

Ding Xiao stopped his movements, and then his face immediately collapsed: "You are indeed right. Then... is this kind of rice fruit tree tall? How many such fruits can a tree bear?"

Kun replied: "The tree is not small, and there are so many fruits on each branch. But this kind of tree bears fruit and matures in autumn. Many of these winter fruits are taken away by birds and tree mice. Eaten. And a good portion fell to the ground."

"Then how many more can we pick back?" It turned out that the fruit was produced last autumn. No wonder the outer skin will fall off when touched, and it seems to have dried directly on the tree.Isn't it theoretically true that when the fruit is ripe, it will fall to the ground and wait for the next year to germinate?Does that mean that such fruits cannot be planted at all?

"Picking can be picked back a lot. After this kind of tree starts to germinate and open leaves in May, the fruits left over from last winter will all be topped off. Since it is a staple food, we can pick them all back. I can't take them this time. You can come again with the second uncle. But there are relatively few such trees in the safe area of ​​​​Tianhe Village, so if they can’t be planted, after telling the tribe, if people from nearby villages come to pick them, we won’t get much. Already." So when to tell Dad that this kind of fruit can also be used as stored winter food is a problem.It would be best to try to see if the dried seeds can germinate.If it can be grown, food for their Tianhe Village and even the Winged Tiger Clan will no longer be a problem in the future!

Putting down the chopsticks, Ding Xiao suggested: "Otherwise, pick some grown trees and dig them back by their roots. Plant them in our yard first, and just be careful not to touch them when you build the house. Trees should be transplanted this season. It’s still relatively easy to live. When we go back, we can scatter some rice crackers in the safe area of ​​our village, in case they can germinate, don’t they have to be placed in the experimental field.”

Kun nodded after hearing this: "Yeah. You are very thoughtful. Anyway, if you run fast, you can go back and forth from the village in a day. Come on, hurry up and eat. After eating, let's pick fruits and trees."

In view of having bacon and picking rice crackers today, Ding Xiao decided to stay in the cave again tonight.So after smoked two-thirds of the pork from the Toothy Pig, the two of them put everything back into the cave, and Kun found more than a dozen big stones to block the entrance of the cave so that no uninterested beasts would go in and steal the meat. Only then did he set off to pick rice crackers with a bamboo basket on his back and an animal skin bag.

The height of the rice fruit tree does not seem to be impressive, only about three meters, and the shortest branch can be reached by Ding Xiao. It is definitely a dwarf tree species in Aomori.

Looking at these branches that still look yellow and the clumps of fruits on the branches, there is really an indescribable weirdness, probably because I have never seen a tree like this. "Kun, you hold the bag while I roll down the fruit. It's ready!"

In fact, not all rice crackers on the branches are full and multi-grained.Some look bulging, but in fact the nuts inside have fallen off.There are also some obvious traces of being partially eaten, anyway, the speed of picking up the fruit with the belt is not slow.

Ding Xiao had a great time masturbating here, and Kun also followed suit and was commanded to be in a happy mood.But with the height of the fruiting trees nearby, Ding Xiao couldn't reach it, so Brother Kun did the rest by himself.

Looking at the bag of rice crackers that he rolled down with his own hands, Ding Xiao couldn't be happier.He took out an animal skin bag from the shoulder bag, and began to pick out rice nuts into the empty bag one by one.Regardless of the large quantity, just grab a small handful and rub it with two palms a few times, then blow off the peeled off skin, and toss back and forth between your hands twice to remove the peel, so the speed is not slow .But he still thinks it would be better to have a dustpan.Let Kun make a small one for himself after he goes back. Anyway, these rice crackers don’t need to be planted with skins, otherwise the fruit will definitely fall naked when it hits the ground.

In the afternoon, the two returned to the cave with two bags of peeled rice nuts.Because it was past eleven o'clock after the pork roasting, they only ate the two pieces of roast pork in the woods at noon, and Ding Xiao decided to cook a good dinner.

If you have rice, you must make rice.Ding Xiao felt that since it was by the edge of the bamboo forest, why not cook rice in bamboo tubes?This also frees up the clay pots for cooking.With so much pork, let’s make the most delicious twice-cooked pork first!Then make some of Kun's favorite braised pork, but I can put bamboo meat cubes in it to relieve the greasiness.The ribs left over at noon can be marinated into a curry-flavored roast. Although I don’t want to eat it every day, it’s okay to have another meal now that I have rice!

After listening to his partner's instructions, Brother Kun went to chop a bamboo that had just grown up.The bamboo tube is hard enough, but not too thick, the outer skin is still green, and there is some bamboo meat inside that can be used for cooking.Kun also said that he could just use the remaining bamboo joints to make some bamboo tubes with lids, so that if they went to Kushui Lake and found that salt could be boiled there, they would have something to hold the salt.

In fact, the big bamboo tube with the thickness of Kun's arm is thick enough for Ding Xiao.But if it is related to the appetite of the male, it is estimated that it must be this big, otherwise two or three bites will be eaten in one tube, and I will be so busy!

Cut the smoked pork into small cubes, cut the blanched mud vegetables and sweet bean sprouts into sections, and cut the two bamboo shoots into cubes. These four are the ingredients in the bamboo tube rice.

The cooked Miguo Ding Xiao first soaked in water for about half an hour.Then mix well with the ingredients, add vegetable salt and stir, and put them in the treated bamboo tubes respectively.Then tie the two ends with grass vines, and put them on the fire to roast.

Of course, the heat of the bamboo rice is important.The problem is that Ding Xiao didn't do it.In addition, this kind of Tianzhu and rice crackers are different world varieties, so he is really not sure.Anyway, let's bake slowly.According to the rules of cooking rice in a pot, first boil the water inside with high heat, then simmer for five to six minutes on medium heat, and then simmer for a while on low heat. The soaked rice is probably almost the same.

The grilled ribs are made by Brother Kun himself.In fact, he has also learned twice-cooked pork and braised pork now, but Ding Xiao doesn't trust him at all, saying that the meat he cooks is too oily.So the kitchen at home has always been controlled by Joan Abba and Ding Xiao, and the two male uncles and nephews only do barbecue.Kun felt very sorry for his partner's busyness, especially when he was keenly aware that Xiaoxiao's walking posture was a little different. Could it be that he hurt him yesterday?But a few of them said that there would be no problem!

While thinking about this disharmonious problem, Kun cast his eyes on even more disharmonious places from time to time.Ding Xiao found out after a while. "What are you looking at! BBQ!"

Kun leaned over: "Xiaoxiao, is it hurt? I saw it was just red in the morning, it hurts?"

Ding Xiao blushed immediately: "You think everyone is as rough and thick as you! Cough, let me tell you why, it's okay, you turn over the bamboo tube quickly, so that it can be roasted evenly." A little bit of skin doesn't seem like an injury... Also, why are you asking this! ! ! !

Kun is quite obsessed with the "truth" of the matter: "Is that painful?"

Ding Xiao turned his head and stared at Xiang Kun's eyes, but after a few seconds, he was completely defeated.Well, the eyes of my black tiger have always been the most energetic, the key is that the eyes are even sharper when the face is paralyzed. "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt! You just need to let me rest for two days without touching it!"

Kun's eyes darkened immediately: "Then it will be two days."

Ding smiled with black lines all over his head: "You seem to be aggrieved in this tone?!"

Kun shook his head: "They said they won't get hurt." Otherwise, it would be good to just touch it, but now it's fine, and it's not even allowed to touch it for two days.

"Uh..." It was actually a few of them! !It's really... really shameless for these males to come together to discuss such a topic! (Otherwise, are we still discussing the origin of the universe and the future of mankind? --)

Flipping the bamboo tube, Kun wondered if he was using too much force, or were those guys talking nonsense?Although it felt really nice and comfortable to do that yesterday, but it would be bad if it made Xiaoxiao feel uncomfortable.Or is it the only way to take the ointment?yes!How could I forget to take the ointment!

Ding Xiao looked at Kun's expressionless face "concentrating" on turning the bamboo tube to roast pork chops, and knew that this guy was definitely thinking about something abnormal.Forget it, let's think about it, let's say that I can rest for two days~!Taking a deep breath, the bamboo rice smells really good!I can't wait to eat it in my mouth!
