Chapter 535: Staying in a Village and Enjoying Delicious Food
Yao Tao climbed over the ruins and entered the orchard.
The fruits of the mutated fruit trees are twice as large as the original fruits.
Yao Tao picked up a hawthorn from the ground.
The big red hawthorns increase your appetite just by looking at them.
Yao Tao didn't bite it directly, but broke the hawthorn apart first.
Sure enough, there was a bag of bugs inside.
Hawthorn berries are particularly susceptible to insects, but this does not prevent them from being canned or dried into hawthorn nuts.
Dried hawthorn fruit is easy to store. It can be eaten directly or boiled in water. After boiling, add some sugar and let it cool down, and it will taste like canned food.
Yao Tao couldn't help swallowing.
Further into the woods are apple trees, their branches so laden with fruits that they are bent down.
She picked one, purified it, and washed it with the water in the space.
Take a bite, it's crispy and sweet.
Apples can also be dried into apples, or made into preserved fruits or canned foods.
You can also bake desserts, such as apple pie.
There are not many fruits on the date tree, probably because of the wind a few days ago, most of the dates fell to the ground.
They were soon eaten by birds.
Yao Tao picked up a whole date and tasted it.
Sweet and sour.
Further ahead there are two chestnut trees.
The mutated hairy chestnuts look like little hedgehogs, and if you are not careful, you will prick your fingers and bleed.
Yao Tao took out an iron shovel from the space, smashed the thorny shell of the chestnut, and dug out the chestnut inside.
This thing is delicious when thrown into the fire and roasted.
But the sun was about to set, and she didn't have time to explore the entire forest.
After picking up some more fruits and chestnuts, she returned to the campfire and suggested, "Let's stay here for a while."
There are so many fruits in the orchard that it takes several days to pick them all.
"Is there anything delicious?" Bai Lin asked.
"There are a lot of them." Yao Tao said as she put out the folding hut on the open space.
At night, the two of them ate roasted pork legs by the campfire next to the farmland.
Corn, chestnuts, radishes and sweet potatoes were piled around the fire.
The moon is bright in autumn nights, and the night breeze is cool and charming.
From time to time, the chirping of crickets could be heard in the grass, one after another, gradually turning into a chorus.
Fireflies appeared with lanterns in hand by the ditches beside the fields.
They patrolled around, flew into the sky, and gradually merged into the starry sky.
From time to time, crackling sounds could be heard from the fire.
The roasted chestnuts burst open, revealing the golden chestnut flesh.
Although the corn is a little old, it is very fragrant and chewy.
The peanut shells were black and burnt, and when you squeezed them open, the peanut kernels inside jumped out. The red skin on the peanut kernels was roasted to a crispy texture like paper, and it broke easily with a rub.
Yao Tao broke the roasted sweet potato in half, and hot steam continued to come out from the middle.
The two of them enjoyed the joy of the autumn harvest.
The next morning, Yao Tao got up at around four o'clock.
She wanted to go to the fields to harvest the crops before the sun rose.
What she didn't expect was that Bai Lin also got up, looking sleepy.
The two of them simply drank some porridge and ate some boiled eggs before starting to work.
Yao Tao also prepared a straw hat for Bai Lin.
Bai Lin was very thin. If he stood still by the field wearing a straw hat, he would look like a scarecrow from a distance.
Yao Tao found some pumpkins. She cut the vines directly in the field and put them into the space, saving the trouble of transportation.
Bai Lin was not idle either. Yao Tao assigned him a hunting mission.
The mutant chickens and pigs in the orchard became their food reserves.
In particular, there are many eggs laid by mutant chickens in the garden: one egg is the size of a fist.
But these eggs are hidden everywhere and are not easy to find.
Fortunately, Bai Lin had a sharp nose, and he found a large box of eggs after walking around the orchard for a while.
Just then, two men, one fat and one thin, came along the country road.
They were pushing a three-wheeled cart, the bed of which was filled with daily necessities that had been dug out from the ruins.
The thin man pushing the cart saw Bai Lin picking eggs in the orchard. He called out to his companion, "Hey, look over there, there's a kid."
The fat man stopped and wiped the sweat from his head, and he also saw Bai Lin.
Bai Lin was wearing a straw hat and looked like a child of sixteen or seventeen years old from a distance.
"Hey, there's a new slave." The thin man was very excited. He took out a piece of candy that was about to melt from his pocket, and then called out to Bai Lin in the orchard, "Hey, little friend, I have some candy here. Do you want some?"
