Chapter 258 257. Yuhe

A little secret leads the way, and the main character is unreliable.

Although there were no branches to hinder her, it would have been easy to push them away with a long stick. But Huaiyu had taken the initiative. They had only been around the cliff for half an hour, and they had stopped several times.

The first time was when Huaiyu asked him to cut down two dripping Guanyin trees.

To this day, the long and thick pole with the huge leaves is still swaying behind the backpack, and it sways forward from time to time, blocking a lot of sunlight.

Zhou Qian didn't know if the poison of this dripping Guanyin had changed, so he had to be careful of the leaves dripping from his head. He wanted to cut the leaves and throw them away, but Huai Yu was not happy.

The second time was now, because he was again directed to pull out a handful of wild garlic.

Well, who can tell whether it is a picnic or an exploration now? Wild garlic is different from the green garlic in his own vegetable garden. The leaves and rhizomes are thin and small. He clumsily picked them up for a long time. Looking up, he saw Huai Yu lying there trying to build a small stove with stones. He quickly threw the garlic in his hand and said, "I'll do it, you go pick the vegetables."

She also carried her outdoor multi-purpose pot in her backpack. She should have known that it would come in handy, but she didn't expect to need it in the middle of the day.

Also preparing vegetables, the small handful of wild garlic was quickly peeled off in Huaiyu's hands, and then simply washed in the multi-purpose pot.

There was no way. Zhou Qian was not allowed to touch the water in the wild, and they only brought three pots with them, so they had to be frugal.

On this side, Zhou Qian had quickly found suitable stones to build a small stove, which was just big enough to place the multi-purpose pot, and a hot flame had already risen underneath.

He hesitated for a moment: "Do we need to make a fire to boil water with only this wild garlic?"

The water they brought was boiled.

Unexpectedly, Huaiyu took out two thick taro stems from the backpack and said, "We need another taro stem for lunch! That's the taro stem."

Zhou Qian: …

"That's taro!" He said embarrassedly, "I thought it was the dripping Guanyin, they look so similar."

Huaiyu glanced at him, and suddenly remembered the rough way he piled everything into one pot when washing dishes. He shook his head and sighed:

"Forget it! Just wait and eat."

Then he looked at his palm again: "Very good, no allergies."

"Will you still be allergic?" Zhou Qian frowned. "It's okay not to eat it. Didn't we bring biscuits and water? And the raspberries that we didn't finish eating this morning."

A light salt and chopped green onions were added to the pancake. Considering that it was to be eaten cold, not much meat was added, but it could still fill the stomach if paired with nutrient solution.

"No." Huaiyu said lightly: "You have been taking nutrient solution for too long. Last time in the hospital, the doctor said that your gastrointestinal atrophy is more serious than others, and asked you to eat more!"

According to the doctor, eating more may not necessarily allow Zhou Qian to get enough nutrients his body needs, but it can ensure that his gastrointestinal function is normal, so that other organs will not be affected. After all, the internal organs of the human body are affected by one hair, and if too much nutrient solution is consumed, the problem will be very serious.

Zhou Qian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "That doesn't mean we have to cook even if we go up the mountain. If you tell me, I can just have one more portion, right?"

"That won't do!" Huai Yu was very serious: "If you are not happy eating, then it will be difficult to be happy about other things! Brother Zhou Qian, you have a strong taste and don't like a lot of seasonings. I didn't dare to add anything when making pancakes - but I brought chili peppers, ginger, garlic, oil and salt. I'll make you a spicy fried taro at noon!"

“This pie should be delicious too.”

Zhou Qian couldn't tell what he felt for a moment, but as he watched Huai Yu quickly use a knife to peel off the hard skin on the side of the pole, he couldn't help but reach out his hand: "Let me do it."

"No need." Huaiyu avoided him: "I must have been used to doing these things before, so I am not very sensitive to this pole. If you have never touched it, your palms may itch."

"Besides, this will be quick. Brother Zhou Qian, don't throw away the water you used to wash the green onions. Add some more water to boil. We'll need to blanch these stalks later. Save some water."

Zhou Qian's mood became even more complicated. Seeing Huai Yu already starting to peel off the old skin on the taro stems, he sighed again: "Don't be so troublesome next time. Just dig out the taro. You can roast it directly in the fire."

This way, you won’t get sticky or allergic reactions, and you can also save yourself the trouble.

Huai Yu looked up at him and suddenly became curious: "Brother Zhou Qian, I always thought that you would use local materials when you were on a mission in the wilderness, but it turns out you don't?"

She raised her hand and pointed at the taro stalk in her hand: "This variety of taro is delicious. The taro at the bottom is small and stringy, and no one eats it."

Zhou Qian laughed: "It seems that I am still not as good as you in the wild - we used to have wilderness survival training, but after the disaster, all the knowledge we learned was overturned."

"Now, the iron rule when carrying out missions is that you are not allowed to use materials at random."

Just like before he cut the taro leaves, he would not only use a long stick to poke them, but also carefully probe into the ground. If he had not witnessed the magic of Huaiyu, he would never easily test such a large area of ​​"Dripping Guanyin".

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Huaiyu's eyes were instantly filled with deep sympathy - since they couldn't use local materials, it was no wonder that they could only drink nutrient solution or eat compressed dry food every time they went on a mission.

However, even if we can get local ingredients, I'm afraid that what we can get will be very unpalatable, and the delicious ones will require a fierce fight.

She couldn't help but feel proud again: "Look at these taro stalks. The two I pointed out to you, they thought these two side stalks were not good-looking, so they didn't want them. Brother Zhou Qian, did you remember the location?"

"If they want to get in better shape after a while, we can come and do the surgery."

Got it.

This is actually a trip to pick up the goods! Zhou Qian nodded numbly: "Okay."

Before he spoke, the water in the pot had already boiled, and Huaiyu cut the taro stalks he had peeled clean into small pieces - the simple chopping board used was the taro leaf.

Then put it in the pot and blanch it. After the water boils, take it out and roll up the taro leaves into a funnel shape, and put a plastic bag underneath.

Zhou Qian followed the instructions and poured all the not-so-hot water and taro stalks in the pot into the water. The taro leaves on the upper layer acted as a perfect funnel, and the water collected in the plastic bag could be used to wash the pot later.

Even though Zhou Qian had anticipated the ingenuity of this combo that saves water and resources, he couldn't help but marvel at it at this moment.

Next, heat the pan, add cold oil, and stir-fry the dried chili and wild garlic in the pan to bring out the aroma. Finally, pour the drained taro seedlings in, add salt and stir-fry briefly...

Although it is still not completely delicious, the hot, spicy and salty aroma has begun to waft in the air.

Update one.
