Chapter 161 Daylily
Zuo Shan's intuition told her that this flower should be a species she was familiar with, but it must have mutated and become an enlarged version. She couldn't immediately imagine what its smaller version would look like.
She used the detection knife directly, and a voice broadcast came: "Beep! High-radiation mutated lemon daylily flower detected. This species was an ornamental plant before the mutation and has no edible value. It is not recommended to collect it."
What exactly is lemon daylily? Zuo Shan didn't immediately understand. She tried to recall her memories from her time on Earth, and finally remembered.
I remember her mother was obsessed with a farming game that appealed to all ages. The only plant she could grow was called daylily, which required reaching the highest planting level of 72.
Later, she overheard her mother saying that daylilies were actually the same as the daylilies that her family often ate. She didn't believe it at all, but after checking the information, she realized that her mother was not lying to her.
Daylily, also known as golden needle flower or lemon daylily, belongs to the lily family, so its flowers are somewhat shaped like lilies.
However, compared to the purity and nobility of lilies, it is more vibrant and beautiful, with a relatively slender and graceful flower shape.
For a while, eating daylilies was very popular. My mom said that the TV said that in addition to promoting diuresis and cooling the blood, calming the nerves and improving eyesight, daylilies also have the effects of improving brain function and anti-aging, and it seems that they can also treat high blood pressure.
However, what the public is most interested in is, of course, its brain-boosting and anti-aging effects.
Zuo Shan wasn't concerned about its medicinal effects; what interested her was that daylilies were easy to store as dried vegetables, and adding a little to stews or chickens was both delicious and could treat anemia.
In the wasteland, anemia is a common disease, since many people don't have enough to eat, and even those who can barely get enough to eat don't necessarily have a balanced diet.
Zuo Shan began to search carefully and found five mutated daylily plants nearby. They were about two meters tall and had many slender flower buds on their stems that had not yet bloomed. Each flower bud was about twenty or thirty centimeters long. He estimated that two or three of them would be enough to make a stir-fry after drying.
These flower buds taste best when picked and dried; once they fully bloom, the taste is much worse.
Zuo Shan's main purpose today was to collect seeds, but since these were wild plants, and the flower buds were edible, she would naturally pick them as well, and wouldn't wait for them to flower and bear fruit.
She picked about 50 flower buds, and of course, she didn't let go of the fully bloomed flowers that weren't as tasty, picking another forty or so in one go. In the end, she also collected several hundred seeds, making it a great harvest.
After she finished her errands, she was surprised to find that more than two hours had passed. When she heard baby Achen making cooing noises, she looked down and picked him up from the stroller, only to find that his diaper was completely soaked.
"I'm so sorry, Chen, Mommy was so busy that I didn't even notice you peed!" She smiled apologetically at her baby and then took out some warm water to wash her bottom.
While she was washing her clothes, she heard her watch vibrate. She thought it was a message from Pandora, so she tapped it without looking at it. Suddenly, someone popped up in front of her.
Okay, it's not a person, it's a holographic projection of Xiaobai.
When Xiaobai saw the surrounding scene clearly, she immediately became furious: "Where are you guys? Don't tell me you took Achen out to collect things in the wild!"
He spoke through gritted teeth. When Ah Chen heard his voice and saw him clearly, he almost instinctively used his invisibility ability.
Zuo Shan, who was changing her baby's diaper, was stunned!
Where is the baby? His little bottom is still so soft and chubby, but there's nothing in front of me; I can't see anything.
"What's wrong?" Zuo Shan stammered as he asked Xiao Bai.
Last time when the baby played hide-and-seek with Xiaobai, she was busy and didn't see it at all. Later, the baby ran out of superpowers and started crying in grievance. She never realized that the baby could become invisible.
"Don't you know he can turn invisible? He demonstrated that ability in front of me during the last video call." Xiao Bai's anger was successfully diverted.
“But he has never hidden himself in front of me,” Zuo Shan weakly defended himself.
“You are his mother. A newborn baby feels most secure with his mother, so of course he won’t hide from you,” Xiaobai explained.
“But he never hid himself in front of Mao Li, Xiao Bao, and Le Le!” Zuo Shan thought for a moment and then said.
Xiao Bai: I feel like I've been hit with a critical strike of 10,000 points!
So the baby is only afraid of him? Why is that? Isn't he gentle and kind enough to the baby?
Xiao Bai carefully considered his interactions with the baby, and then realized with dismay that when he witnessed the baby's birth in the hospital, all he saw was blood, and that he had frozen Pandora with his bare hands.
After returning to Zuo Shan's house, the baby pooped for the first time. He was so disgusted by the smell that he ran to the yard and gagged. Perhaps he had offended the baby too much that time.
The baby thinks he dislikes him, so he tries to hide every time he sees him. Hmm, that must be it!
Ah Chen finally realized that the aura of the number one enemy was not around. He tried to touch it with his chubby little paws, but he couldn't touch it at all. It was an illusion!
It turned out to be just a paper tiger, posing no threat to the baby at all!
He immediately withdrew his superpowers, revealed his true form, and rolled his eyes at Xiaobai with a smug look!
Hmph! I'm not afraid of you, you paper tiger!
Having witnessed Ah Chen perform a miraculous transformation on her, Zuo Shan hugged him tightly, her heart pounding wildly for a while before she finally calmed down.
"Invisibility is the highest level of stealth skills. This little guy has mastered the skill without a teacher, which will be very beneficial to his future safety," Xiaobai continued to explain, seeing her frightened expression.
"That's good, that's good. Oh dear, Chen, you scared Mommy to death!" Zuo Shan hugged Chen and kissed him twice.
Xiao Bai on the other side suddenly felt an irresistible urge to kiss the baby's fair and tender face.
Of course, he also wanted to know what it felt like when she kissed the baby.
The moment this thought crossed his mind, his face flushed with heat and felt burning.
"Ahem! I just wanted to see the baby. I'll hang up if there's nothing else." He tried his best to hide his emotions.
"Yeah, I'm fine here. I just got a new kind of daylily today; it's really delicious stewed with meat. I'll make it for you next time you come. Goodbye, Xiaobai!"
Zuo Shan casually picked up a blooming daylily, waved it at him, and then hung up the video call.
Xiao Bai: She's waving a bright, beautiful flower at me. What does that mean?
Wait a minute! I forgot the most important thing: she actually took my godson to scavenge in the wild! That's way too risky!
