Six Years After the Disaster, I Saved My Farm by Growing Bean Sprouts

Chapter 263 262. Polygonum cuspidatum

Although there was no big fish or meat, the dinner was really satisfying.

Although Zhou Qian still didn't dare to relax completely, he lay on the leaves with a unique plant smell and fell asleep soon.

And in the dark night, the ivy at my feet stretched out its branches tremblingly, groping for the finely divided spore powder on the ground, thinking it was dust, and happily collected it all night.

So much so that when Zhou Qian woke up in the morning and walked out, he always felt as if one of his legs was filled with lead and was heavy.

The ivy on his leg has a criminal record. Although it has no thoughts, it has instincts. It is obviously just a piece of mutated material that was induced, but it always feels like it can still take root in the soil and survive.

It’s okay if you can’t help but secretly hide the soil when digging the vegetable garden, but you can’t find any mud in this cave, so there’s no need to hide it, right?

Zhou Qian frowned, guessing that maybe he hadn't used his legs and feet so hard for a long time, which made the prosthetic limb here feel heavy...

It seems that I need to do a reexamination if I find the time.

He took two more steps and quickly got used to the weight again.

At this time, Huaiyu had happily brought back several green tubular plants with red spots from outside, and hurriedly ordered Zhou Qian to boil water.

He was a little confused: "Japanese knotweed?"

The scientific name is Polygonum cuspidatum, but actually the locals prefer to call it sour tube stem. As the name suggests, it is shaped like a rod with a hollow center and tastes sour.

"Well," Huaiyu replied happily: "Brother Zhou Qian, you ate so much yesterday's steamed sophora japonica! It happened that breakfast was also very important, so I wanted to bring back some more sophora japonica - but look! I saw it. Knotweed!”

"This tastes sour, so it should be particularly appetizing, right? You had a pretty good appetite yesterday."

She muttered, watching Zhou Qian quickly set up a pot to boil water, and then quickly cut the knotweed into sections, waiting to be boiled in water.

Zhou Qian can eat anything, but he can only make a big stew in one pot. While waiting for the water to boil, Huaiyu told him: "You should keep an eye on it when it is blanching, and it will take almost half a minute to take it out." "

Otherwise, the knotweed contains a lot of water, and after blanching it for a long time, all the inside will turn into juice, leaving only a layer of skin on the surface, and the taste will be very unpleasant.

She peeled off two more cloves of garlic and looked at the remaining half of it with confusion: "I should have brought two fresh chili peppers if I had known."

Zhou Qian had never thought that he could eat such comfortable food in the mountains and forests. At this moment, he was extremely satisfied: "There are a lot of things to bring. Let's just pick up the most important things. Three buckets of water are already very heavy."

"There are no more three buckets of water!" Huaiyu happily pointed to the corner: "After today's breakfast, we only have one bucket of water left. We will go back after exploring at noon!"

She said deeply: "It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's hard to go from luxury to frugality. Now I can't get used to sleeping in the wild at all!"

Zhou Qian thought to himself that you fell asleep on the pillow yesterday, but he didn't see anything that made him uncomfortable sleeping.

As he spoke, the water in the pot was already boiling.

Zhou Qian quickly poured all the chopped knotweed in, counting the seconds carefully in his mind. When I counted 30, I quickly picked them up again.

Although he was not very skilled, he did it meticulously. Huaiyu was very satisfied: "Okay, let me tear these into finer pieces. Brother Zhou Qian, you continue to boil water. This one will need to be boiled again for half a minute." "

"It's so troublesome..."

He was actually a little uncomfortable with it. He used to wake up in the morning and simply wash up, swallow the dry food, and then go on a mission.

But now I have to spend so much time cooking early in the morning because of my atrophic stomach...

Zhou Qian felt anxious and embarrassed for a moment. But more than anything, I am happy.

Huaiyu looked at him carefully, thinking that it was not quite bright yet and it would be difficult to walk on the mountain road at this moment. Second time...

Walking forward with Zhou Qian, climbing the mountain is like a task. Who doesn’t want to fish more at work? If she makes breakfast a little longer, won't she save an hour of walking?

But at this moment, she just smiled, as sweet and sweet as usual. Zhou Qian was greatly moved, and became more focused while counting silently in his mind, and soon blanched the peeled knotweed for the second time.

The time to blanch the knotweed is just right. The garlic and chili peppers have been prepared in Huaiyu, so pour oil into the hot pan, pour in the ingredients and stir-fry, then add the drained knotweed and stir-fry together.

After being scalded with water, the knotweed changed from a tender green with red spots to a gray-green color now, with no color at all in terms of color, fragrance, and flavor.

But Huaiyu is right about one thing.

Although it is just a plain stir-fry, the oil used still has the taste of shrimp, which is very inconsistent. However, it is sour and delicious in the mouth, with a crunchy and chewy texture. It soon makes people feel thirsty, so they can't help but turn their heads to eat again. Take a bite of pie!

This wonderful combination is like porridge and pickles, especially when paired together.

The two of them ate in front of the small pot and quickly filled their empty bellies.

After eating and packing his things, Zhou Qian looked at the two empty buckets and the last bucket of water in his backpack, and finally made a decision -

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

"Going down the mountain should be faster than going up the mountain, and the road is already familiar to you. But after all, it has been a day of walking, and your physical strength may not be able to keep up... So, we should return at 12 noon."

Huaiyu silently estimated the time, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: "If the time is planned in such a hurry, there is no way to pick up all the good things I encountered, right?"

He glanced at Zhou Qian resentfully again: It was clearly intentional.

Zhou Qian rubbed her head: "How can I still know you? I'm afraid I want to take the things I met along the way but didn't take with me on the way back! Otherwise, why would you bring so many bags?"

Then he pointed to the big mushroom above his head: "I'm really afraid that you'll have to carry half of the mushroom away with me."

It's not impossible to carry it, but apart from this half mushroom, there are many good things on the mountain.

As for burdening this kind of thing, it is sweet to maintain it in small amounts, but if it is too much...

Zhou Qian felt his heavy legs and felt that he was not too energetic today.

Huaiyu:…

While she was being pressed, she shrank, and at the same time she couldn't help but sigh: How could you guess so accurately? That's what she had in mind.

After all, the mushroom in front of me is so big that it can cover the entire top of the mountain! It would be a shame not to take it back.

I am happy with the elm and yellow mushrooms, so it would be a pity not to cut off most of them.

Not only Huaiyu, but Zhou Qian himself wanted to take it back! After all, the mushroom kebabs served last night, despite the lack of ingredients, tasted delicious and tender enough.

He grimaced and coughed lightly: "I won't do this next time."

Update two, good night. I can’t finish writing Next Door anymore. Next Door will be updated tomorrow.
