Li Yao bid farewell to the chestnut tree and continued flying slowly forward. Looking around, the ground was covered with thick layers of decaying branches and leaves. Some tree roots had many mushrooms growing on them, while others had small, bright red fruits hidden among the branches and leaves.
Li Yao checked the time and wandered around the forest again. She saw many wild grapes and hawthorns that were not yet ripe, so she regretfully gave up. However, she marked the location, since they were all mutated wild fruits and she wanted to try them.
On her way back, Li Yao took a different route and collected a number of herbs, including Platycodon grandiflorus, ginseng, Asarum heterotropoides, Ganoderma lucidum, Gentiana scabra, Poria cocos, Schisandra chinensis, Cistanche deserticola, Fritillaria cirrhosa, Evening primrose, Dioscorea nipponica, Daphne odora, Codonopsis pilosula, Rhodiola rosea, and Pseudostellaria heterophylla. These were all mutated herbs with remarkable medicinal effects, and she might need them sometime, so Li Yao carefully wrapped them in soil and stored them in her space.
Back in the hidden room, around 4 or 5 pm, Li Yao finished washing up and started preparing dinner.
She really wanted to try the hazel mushrooms she had collected earlier, so she changed into loose clothes, put on an apron, and started preparing for the meal.
The chicken used was a Sanhuang chicken, which Li Yao bought and slaughtered before the apocalypse, and it was put into the space that same day, so it was very fresh.
Li Yao took out a three-yellow chicken, cut it into pieces, soaked it in cold water, poured in cooking wine to remove the fishy smell, put it in a pot of cold water, blanched it to remove the scum, and added scallions and ginger to remove the fishy smell.
Take a suitable amount of fresh hazel mushrooms, rinse them thoroughly under running water, and tear them into small pieces for later use.
Prepare chopped scallions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers.
Heat a little oil in a pan, then add the drained chicken pieces and stir-fry.
Add 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sugar, a pinch of salt, 2 bay leaves, scallions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers, and stir-fry for a few moments.
Then add hot water until it covers the chicken.
Add hazel mushrooms after the water boils. Simmer for half an hour, then add salt to taste.
Simmer over low heat for another 15 minutes, or until the broth thickens, then turn off the heat.
Take out a large plate, serve the dish, and Li Yao took a bite. The taste was very good, with a rich and fresh aroma.
Afterwards, Li Yao planned to stir-fry some hazel mushrooms with chili peppers.
Take out the hazel mushrooms, wash and tear them apart, wash and slice the bell peppers, and add a little scallion and ginger.
Blanch the hazel mushrooms and then rinse them in cold water.
Heat oil in a wok, add shredded scallions and ginger and sauté until fragrant.
Add the blanched hazel mushrooms and stir-fry, then add the bell peppers and stir-fry for a while. Season with salt, sugar, and chicken bouillon, then transfer to a plate and serve.
The stir-fried hazel mushrooms were also quite delicious. With these two dishes, Li Yao took out two bowls of rice from the [Infinite Space], a serving of green peas and shrimp, a serving of crab stir-fried rice cakes, a serving of cold cod salad with pepper sauce, a serving of fruitwood-roasted phoenix-eye duck, and a serving of crispy and fragrant fish with toon sauce.
The mutated hazel mushrooms are truly amazing; they're incredibly fresh and delicious, and they even replenish your special abilities.
After the meal, there was another platter of mutated fruits, including mutated longan, mutated milk fruit, mutated durian, mutated mango, and so on.
Li Yao is now eating mutated food every day, and she's showing signs of advancing to level 9.
After compressing and condensing the supernatural power within her body, and then compressing it again, Li Yao felt that she could eat the mutated fruit for a few more days.
That evening, Li Yao took out her foot bath tub, put on a face mask, soaked her feet, and listened to an audiobook.
6834, on the other hand, was curled up on the sofa watching TV.
Although she is in good health now and doesn't need to take care of her health, it feels really good to soak her feet while applying a face mask and listening to audiobooks. It gets the blood flowing through her body, and especially for women, the feeling of warmth on the soles of their feet is really comfortable.
Today, Li Yao added a few slices of mutated wild ginger to her foot bath, which doubled the blood-activating and heat-generating effects. She could also use her fire-based supernatural abilities to reheat the water when it cooled down. Li Yao soaked her feet like this for more than half an hour.
I had a good night's sleep.
