Chapter 8 Mushroom Picking
Tu Rongrong picked a large basket of mushrooms, all of which were common mushrooms, such as shiitake mushrooms, straw mushrooms, morels, etc. Of course, there were also some chicken mushrooms, which tasted very good.
Tu Rongrong used her wood-related abilities to search for many places where mushrooms grew, and also found the locations of several pheasants. With Tu Yuanyuan carrying a medicine bag to repel snakes and insects, even the pheasants could not get close to them.
Tu Rongrong decided to leave the hunting task to Tu Che, and she took Tu Yuanyuan with her, each carrying a basket of mushrooms.
"What is this?" Tu Che asked curiously as he looked at the two baskets of mushrooms, one large and one small, that the sisters brought back. The existence of mushrooms was recorded in his database, but he didn't know their specific appearance or function.
"These are mushrooms. We picked them to eat." Tu Rongrong said with a smile.
"Mushrooms? Edible?" Tu Che asked in surprise. As a robot, he didn't need to eat. Of course, Tu Che could eat. Bionic robots had the ability to convert food into energy, but it was much worse than a real energy source.
The robot also has the function of simulating taste. Tu Che had tasted nutritional supplements before, but he felt that the nutritional supplements could not compare to the energy provided by the energy source, so he rarely ate.
"Of course it's edible. Uncle Che, you can check whether it's poisonous. If it's not poisonous, it's edible." Tu Rongrong said. As a robot, Tu Che still has a scanning function.
Tu Che nodded and turned on the scan function. He then discovered that these mushrooms were indeed non-toxic. Since they were non-toxic, they should be edible. After all, even if they tasted unpalatable, they wouldn't kill people.
When Tu Rongrong picked mushrooms, she had chosen non-toxic ones, so of course they wouldn't show up on the scan. Seeing Tu Che's relieved look, Tu Rongrong smiled and said, "Uncle Che, these mushrooms are best stewed with pheasants. Why don't you go catch some pheasants?"
"Pheasant?" Tu Che asked doubtfully, "Those gray birds in the forest?"
"Of course, there are some golden pheasants as well. They are also very delicious." Tu Rongrong nodded and said, "Uncle Che, please bring back a few more. If we can't finish them, we can save them for the next meal."
Tu Che nodded. Since his young lady was so confident, he didn't need to pour cold water on her. Although humans rarely cook gourmet food these days, don't those top families still have chefs? So Tu Che didn't say much, hoping that his young lady's efforts would be okay.
Tu Che went out hunting, so Tu Rongrong took her sister and took two baskets of mushrooms to the stream to wash them.
The place they had chosen to camp was near a water source. The water source wasn't very large, just a small stream about a meter wide, not even as deep as Tu Yuanyuan's knees. This way, they didn't have to worry about Tu Yuanyuan drowning when she and Tu Che weren't paying attention. Such a shallow stream wouldn't kill anyone.
"Come, Yuanyuan, help your sister wash these mushrooms." Tu Rongrong put a few mushrooms in her sister's basket, and then let her sit on a stone by the stream to wash the mushrooms.
Tu Rongrong wasn't worried about leeches or anything like that in the water. After all, Tu Yuanyuan still had the medicine bag on. She knew how effective her homemade medicine bag was, so she wasn't worried about leeches or other insects biting Tu Yuanyuan.
"Well, there is some dirt inside the mushrooms that needs to be washed clean, otherwise we will eat sand when we eat it, which is very bad, you know?" Tu Rongrong said to her sister while cleaning the straw mushrooms.
"Well, that's bad." Tu Yuanyuan nodded seriously, and her chubby face looked even cuter because of the serious expression, which made Tu Rongrong couldn't help but tremble with cuteness.
Tu Yuanyuan held a shiitake mushroom in his chubby hand. Compared with other mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms were not so easy to break. Of course, dried shiitake mushrooms were even less likely to break. However, the fresh shiitake mushrooms that had just been picked were not so tough.
However, it was just a few mushrooms for his sister to play with. Tu Rongrong, who owned a private planet, didn't care at all and let his sister play with it very generously.
Tu Rongrong moved very quickly. After all, she had done a lot of work before, so she washed the mushrooms quickly and cleanly. She had almost washed all the mushrooms in a large basket, while Tu Yuanyuan, who was still "playing" with the shiitake mushrooms, had not washed them well.
Tu Rongrong looked at her sister's serious expression and didn't say anything. It is better for children to play more, especially since her sister is just over two years old, so she just let her play.
After Tu Rongrong washed the mushrooms, Tu Yuanyuan also washed the mushrooms that she was given. Then Tu Rongrong carried the basket and held her sister's hand and returned to the spaceship.
Of course, you can't make a fire and cook inside the spaceship, and there are no energy stoves or induction cookers inside the spaceship, so Tu Rongrong can only prepare to make a fire in an open space outside the spaceship.
Tu Rongrong found a large piece of clean cloth. Of course, most of the cloth in the interstellar age has a wide range of uses, and the cloth that Tu Rongrong took out was actually made of plastic fiber, so Tu Rongrong used it to spread on the ground to dry mushrooms.
Tu Rongrong had brought back quite a few mushrooms, and since they were only for her and Tu Yuanyuan, they didn't need to cook them all. Of course, if Tu Che wanted to eat some, there should be enough for him too. Mushrooms could be eaten several times anyway, so it was better to dry them and store them.
Tu Yuanyuan took off her shoes and ran around on the plastic sheet to scatter the mushrooms, while Tu Rongrong went to find some larger stones to build a simple stove.
In this era where we can only drink nutrient solution and in this era where there is a lack of delicious food, Tu Rongrong started a food live broadcast.
Optical computers connected to the Star Network can actually enter the virtual world, but they can also directly project images externally.
Now, when Tu Rongrong opens her livestream, the camera only records from her wrist. She won't be filmed unless she wants to. As for Xiao Yuanyuan, who was still posting photos of mushrooms, Tu Rongrong had already authorized her to use a virtual cat avatar, obscuring her face.
The most popular live streaming platforms on StarNet right now are Penguin, Xiaoxiang, and Green Water. Tu Rongrong looked at Xiaoxiang, the most familiar of the three, and felt a sense of familiarity.
Oh, when she was on Earth, she also read a lot of novels at Xiaoxiang Academy, and she also followed a lot of fantasy novels.
After choosing the Xiaoxiang live broadcast platform, Tu Rongrong registered an account and named it "Mao Rongrong's Live Broadcast Room". After registering the account, Tu Rongrong started live broadcasting.
Tu Rongrong looked at the bare live broadcast room with few viewers but was not discouraged. Instead, she started to build a stove while running the live broadcast room. Tu Rongrong had also seen the size of the pots made by Tu Che, so she also estimated the size of the stove opening.
