Chapter 358 The Wisdom of the Female Supporting Wild Star Farming (18) Seeking the Moon
Xu Yin thought that he had a share of credit for catching such a large group of flying dragon birds, so she let him do whatever he wanted. He could follow him if he wanted to, but he could go hunting alone if he didn't want to.
Anyway, she didn't plan to hunt, she just wanted to dig bamboo shoots, pick nuts, pick mushrooms, and dig herbs... The outer area of the Light Worm Forest was enough for her to hunt for treasures.
Xu Yin fulfilled her promise and gave Pei Keqi two flying dragon birds.
Unexpectedly, Pei Keqi only wanted one: "I will take one back to stew potatoes and try it."
The other one refused to accept it at all, saying that it had not yet thanked Xu Yin for the hospitality at noon.
Xu Yin gave him some mushrooms and told him that the stew was very delicious.
Like Kahn, Pei Keqi was extremely surprised that these mushrooms were edible. It was not until Xu Yin said that she could identify them that she happily accepted them.
Xu Yin clipped the wings of the flying dragon bird and tied its feet with a strong linen rope, intending to take it back and raise it in captivity.
From then on, there was a steady stream of dragon birds and bird eggs to eat.
The Taobao trio instantly became a four-person team, and their efficiency improved a lot.
Pei Keqi didn't know anything else, but he was much stronger than Mengqi and Kahn, and he could pick up bamboo shoots smoothly. After Xu Yin taught him how to identify bamboo shoots, she left a bamboo basket for him to pick up mushrooms and dig herbs.
went.
I thought he would be busy for a long time before filling the bamboo basket, but he didn't expect that within half an hour, he came to her with the basket and said it was full.
Xu Yin looked up and couldn't help but want to twitch her lips.
It's not full. The bamboo shoots are obviously too big. One bamboo shoot fills half of the bamboo basket.
But having said that, this giant bamboo shoot is still very tender. After peeling off the outer shell, the meat inside is white and crispy, a bit like the best quality bamboo shoots.
Xu Yin praised him a few words.
Unexpectedly, a rough man in his thirties or forties didn't feel embarrassed when Kahn teased him, but when Xu Yin praised him a few times, his face and neck turned red. He shyly ran away with the bamboo basket and continued to dig bamboo shoots.
Xu Yin smiled.
In fact, aside from the mistakes we have made, most of the people here are quite lovely.
The four people have an orderly division of labor:
After Pei Keqi got to know bamboo shoots, he concentrated on peeling them;
Kahn is still persistently digging for black truffles from rotten tree stumps;
Monchi helped Kahn pull out tree stumps;
Xu Yin, a little Taobao expert, doesn't dare to pick up random things except those she doesn't know. Anything she knows or has medicinal uses identified in the Chinese herbal medicine illustrated book, whether it's on the tree, in the ground, or on the ground, she puts it all in her bag.
The process of Taobao was full of fun, but in a flash, it was dark.
The four of them lit a bonfire and set up camp.
Dinner is still Feilong soup, but this time some chestnut meat is stewed together.
All three said it was delicious, and Xu Yin taught them how to identify chestnuts.
Pekeqi was surprised and said: "It turns out to be this thorny ball? Then I know where to find it!"
So, they had something to do again the next day - find the chestnut forest that Pekeqi mentioned and frantically stocked up on chestnuts.
There are many chestnuts here, and the chestnuts here are big and sweet...
Xu Yin hummed a song unconsciously.
Unfortunately, she was tone-deaf and her humming was so unpleasant that even she found it unpleasant. Unexpectedly, her three friends were particularly supportive and kept praising her for singing so beautifully.
Xu Yin: "..."
Could it be that all the musicians in the interstellar entertainment industry are out-of-tune singers like her?
Then she can!
Ahem, that’s too far off topic.
Let’s keep picking chestnuts!
After picking chestnuts for a whole day, they still didn't pick up all the ripe chestnuts that fell in the chestnut forest. However, there were a lot of moldy chestnuts underneath, so Xu Yin said she wouldn't pick them anymore. These were enough for them to kill time in the cold season.
Only then did the other three stop.
Back at the camp, Xu Yin asked the three of them to peel some chestnuts. She was responsible for cutting the openings with a knife, soaking them in water for a quarter of an hour, absorbing the water with gauze, lighting a fire and setting up a pot, adding sea salt and frying the chestnuts together.
Fry until the opening cracks, then add a handful of sugar and continue to fry until the opening opens wide and the color of the shell turns darker, indicating it is cooked. Cover the pot and simmer for a few minutes, turn off the heat and sieve.
“Try it!”
Xu Yin handed each of the three a roasted chestnut that had just come out of the pot.
Kahn felt hot and blew on it before peeling off the chestnut shell and putting it in his mouth.
"Well, it's so delicious!" His eyes lit up instantly.
Monkey has a similar expression.
"I didn't expect that this prickly hair ball looks ugly, but tastes so good! The stew is delicious, and it's also delicious stir-fried like this!"
Pekeqi closed his eyes with satisfaction while eating, savoring the aftertaste of chestnuts in his mouth.
Xu Yin stuffed a pot full of chestnuts into his arms amusingly: "Eat more if you like! You can fry them again after eating. With the amount we picked up today, we can fry them every three days throughout the cold season."
"hey-hey……"
Pekeqi scratched his head and laughed: "I have also decided to move to where you live. I can visit you during the cold season. By the way, Kahn, how did you build your house? I don't want to live in a hole in the ground anymore."
Kahn squirmed and said: "I know how to build! Brother Hero taught me!"
"Then you teach me! Next time I will take you to catch the sharp-billed flying insect beast."
"Okay then." Kahn nodded, then clasped his fingers and said, "But you have to line up. In front of you, there are also Lao Pi, Andrew, Chiox... Wow! So many people want to move to us.
That area is where we live. Brother Hero, if we live in an area with more than a hundred households, we won’t have to travel so far to deliver supplies in the future.”
Xu Yin smiled and rubbed his little head.
This kid really misses the supply package.
The four of them stayed outside the Insect Beast Forest for five days.
On the sixth day, Xu Yin was ready to dig some more herbs.
It is true that the herbs here are of great quality and have never been picked except by insects and beasts. They are old and have extremely good medicinal effects, so I want to stock up on more.
After passing this village, who knows if there will be a chance to meet again in the future.
Just as they were about to set off, Simon, Cardiff and others came back from hunting.
"Hero." Upon seeing her, Card Xiu ran over excitedly, "Look what we hunted?"
Xu Yin took a look and saw that it was a fat, black pig with more tusks than a domestic pig?
If the insect beasts I hunted before, except for the giant beast, tasted either like beef or mutton, then this one definitely tasted like authentic pork!
Ah! Pure Dongpo meat, here she comes!
"Not bad!"
She gave everyone a handful of roasted chestnuts.
When I go back, I'll make real lard, braise real pig's trotters, and fry real pork belly!
"What is this? It's so delicious." Ka Xiu asked curiously after eating a chestnut.
"Brother, this is the meat of thorn balls. Is it delicious? We picked it up all day! Brother Hero said that you can often fry it and eat it in the cold season."
"Prickly fur balls? Can these things be eaten?" Simon expressed doubts, but peeled one off and hit himself in the face after just chewing a few times. "It's so delicious! I know where there are spiky fur balls. I'll go there to get more tomorrow."
Pick some up and bring them back!"
Xu Yin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "We have picked up a lot, enough for us to eat for a whole cold season. Let's also leave some for the insects and beasts here who live on chestnuts."
"The hero is right! We have picked them all up, and those bug beasts will have nothing to eat. There will be no fat bug beasts to hunt next spring."
"..."
She didn't seem to mean it.
Forget it, the effect will be the same.
