The viewers in the live stream were completely baffled by the unremarkable palm tree. They looked at it from all angles and couldn't figure out where it was edible.
"Host, are you really not kidding? This is so tough you can't even bite it."
"I do know that its leaves can be used to make those old-fashioned palm-leaf fans, but I swear on my honor that this thing is absolutely not edible."
"I know, I know. Its fibrous bark can be used to make brooms. I once saw a broom made of palm bark in a museum, and it looked pretty useful."
"How about the streamer consider becoming a broom to sweep the floor?"
"Sweeping the streets in the wilderness, are you trying to make me laugh so hard I'll inherit my billions in Alipay credit limit?"
"I didn't know it had such a big effect, but that has nothing to do with whether or not you can eat it."
The viewers in these live streams are incredibly immature. Not only immature, but also 100% rebellious. It seems they haven't had enough of being slapped in the face yet.
This palm tree is indeed very useful to him. He plans to use the palm leaves to make clothes, which he thinks is a good idea because the leaves are long and soft and won't cut the skin. They can also be used to weave many things, including clothes.
Without further explanation, he first cut down all the bamboo leaves and tied them together. Then, he peeled off the bark of the palm tree layer by layer, revealing a yellow bulge about the size of a palm. Li Sheng tore open the top of the bulge, revealing seeds inside.
"This is called 'Zongbao,' which is the fruit of the palm tree. It can be eaten raw or used to make soup; it's a very refreshing and nourishing food."
Then I pinched out a few more fingernail marks with my fingers.
"As you can see, it's very tender after peeling, so there's no problem with it being tough to chew. You all still need to learn more from the host. In the coming days, the host will introduce you to even more things."
After cutting off the upper half of the palm tree and peeling off all the palm bracts, just when everyone thought it was over, Li Sheng started chopping down the remaining half of the palm tree with an axe.
The viewers in the live stream couldn't understand what was going on.
"Crossing the river and then dismantling the bridge, tearing the body to pieces?"
"I dare not speak, my face is too swollen from being slapped. I believe the streamer must have his reasons for doing this."
"That makes sense. We'll just have to wait and see."
"I'll sit here and wait for the streamer to explain."
After cutting down the older section, start peeling the bark of the palm tree layer by layer.
"The core of the palm tree is also edible; it is the true essence of the palm tree. The palm buds may be slightly bitter when used in cooking, but the core has a unique sweetness and is the first choice for making soup. When paired with wild boar meat, it is a rare delicacy even without any additional seasonings."
After saying that, he started singing.
"Peeling away its layers one by one, I'll sweat and drool."
Live broadcast room.
"I see~".
Big fish eat little fish, and give away a sapling.
Big Fish Eats Little Fish: "I'm afraid I'll go bankrupt today. Bragging is fun for a moment, but it's a disaster. I'll be working for nothing all day. But I'm willing to accept it and I'm convinced. Acute Cough Syrup Oral Solution, Little Sunflower Mom's Classroom is now open for business..."
"The streamer looks the coolest when he sings, and it sounds really good."
"You're sure to become famous, streamer! I support you!"
Soon a tree as thick as his waist was pruned down to the size of his calf, and the inside was no longer brown but off-white; a fingernail could leave a mark.
"The host will just peel it like this for now, because he won't be eating it anytime soon. Leaving a little bit of the outer skin to prevent moisture loss will allow it to be stored for a very long time."
The baskets behind were quickly filled.
It's time to go back now.
"Alright, that concludes today's forest adventure. We should head back to cook. I'll take you searching for wild fruits again when we have time."
“We won’t go back the way we came. We’ll go back to places we’ve never been before. Maybe we’ll make some different discoveries.”
He hadn't expected to find so much food in about two hours, so he didn't need to worry about food at all. However, he still felt a little regretful that he hadn't been able to try out the bow and arrows he had made.
These things can't be forced; we can only wait until later.
As Li Sheng was thinking, the viewers in the live stream got excited.
"Host, honey! We've spotted honey on the big tree to our right."
"Hey host, look up over there! The honeycomb not only has honey but also bee pupae, sweeteners, and protein. It's sure to be your favorite."
Li Sheng himself didn't see it at first glance, and he had to admit that the audience had a really sharp eye.
There was a large, leafy tree in front of us, with two huge beehives on its trunk. Looking up, it was full of honey.
This would be incredibly tempting even under normal circumstances, let alone now. Just imagine wild boar skewers brushed with honey – it's a perfect match! But how do you get your hands on it? Getting stung by bees is no fun.
People in the live stream also felt it was quite difficult, but many of them were either talking without understanding the situation or offering bad advice.
"The host is a brave bull who charges straight ahead without fear."
"When you go on stage, you can cover your face with a bamboo basket, because appearance is very important, although we can't see what your appearance is like yet."
"How about the streamer sneakily pokes it down and runs away, then comes back to pick it up after the bees have all left?"
"I'll teach the streamer a very useful method: first do this, then do this, then do that, and then it'll work."
"Why not just endure the pain and get a scald? I've heard it can treat rheumatism and bone pain. Anyway, it's a bit ugly and painful, but the honey that goes into your stomach is real."
"I have the safest method: look at plums to quench your thirst. If the host wants to eat them, just come here and take a look. Looking at them is the same as eating them."
These people are all mean-spirited, but he absolutely has to get them.
With a confident smile, he slowly said, "The streamer has his own way, so there's no need for you mediocre people to come up with bad ideas. If I listen to you, I'm afraid I really won't be able to eat three dishes and a soup before I complete the challenge. But we need to make some preparations. We'll store it here and come back to pick up the honey tomorrow or the day after."
He wanted to eat the honey and bee pupae without getting hurt, so he naturally had to make some preparations, but it wasn't actually that difficult.
Some impatient viewers in the live stream were already asking, but he wouldn't say how to defeat magic with magic.
"You'll find out when that day comes. I'll let you know in advance, so remember to come to the live stream on time!"
This seemingly serious but actually cheeky expression is both lovable and infuriating. Some people can't sleep without getting an answer, isn't this just deliberately tormenting people?
On the way back, there were indeed many surprises. We even found a wild persimmon tree. The whole tree was bright red and looked very sweet. Some were orange-red, and some were sunset red. The deeper sunset red ones had been eaten by birds and were very soft to the touch. These were the fully ripe ones.
Look how clever the animals are! The uncooked ones are all perfectly intact, while the cooked ones have long been eaten and riddled with holes.
This is a good thing. Unripe persimmons can be stored for a long time, and they will ripen after a while.
