"Of course! Passion fruit leaves are actually a delicious wild vegetable. Although they taste a bit bitter, they are great stir-fried or used in soups, and they are also very nutritious."
It also contains a variety of vitamins and minerals that are beneficial to the human body.
In the countryside, passion fruit leaves are often picked, washed, and chopped into small pieces. They are then stir-fried with pork, tofu, or other ingredients, or chopped and fried with eggs.
Besides stir-frying, passion fruit leaves can also be used to make soup. Cooking the leaves with meat not only increases the soup's nutritional value but also enhances its flavor.
"I'm sure none of you have tried this kind of wild vegetable before, Qianqian. It's a good opportunity to pick some to take home and eat," Li Yinsheng explained with a smile.
Liu Yifei listened with great interest. She had never heard of passion fruit leaves being edible as wild vegetables.
Are the pointed leaves of passion fruit edible? Are they tasty?
"I've already gone to the market to buy some, but after walking around, I found that they only sell passion fruit, not passion fruit leaves."
"Passion fruit tips are delicious and very common here. You can just pick them whenever you want."
"Upstairs, could you please pick some and mail it to me? Money is not a problem. The address is..."
"Fatty, I found some mint and mugwort over there. I'll go get some and dry them during the day. Then I'll grind them into powder and use them to repel insects. That way we can get a good night's sleep tonight." At that moment, Li Xiang also spotted the mint and mugwort not far away. He stood up and walked towards the patch of grass.
"Okay, then Fatty and I will pick the pointed leaves of passion fruit," Liu Yifei said excitedly. She was very interested in this new wild vegetable and wanted to try it herself.
So the three of them got busy. Li Yinsheng and Liu Yifei were picking out the pointed leaves under the passion fruit tree, while Li Xiang was squatting in the grass carefully selecting mint and mugwort.
After picking most of them, Li Yinsheng led Liu Yifei and Li Xiang back to the place where they had found the pheasants the day before.
Along the way, whenever they encountered edible wild vegetables or medicinal herbs, Li Yinsheng would teach Liu Yifei to identify them, and Li Xiang would occasionally add a few words of advice.
On the contrary, Liu Yifei listened with great interest, occasionally exclaiming in surprise, "This can be eaten, this can be used."
She discovered that these seemingly ordinary plants and weeds actually held so many secrets and uses.
She reflected on her past life, always rushing between filming and other commitments, never truly stopping to observe the world around her. But now, participating in a survival reality show on a desert island, she felt as if she had opened the door to a new world, discovering how rich and diverse it truly is.
“Teacher Li, the leader and I found the pheasant flock here yesterday.” Soon the three of them arrived at the place where they found the pheasants yesterday, and Li Yinsheng pointed to a thicket of bushes ahead.
"I'll go check out the terrain first, then set up the traps." Li Xiang quickly looked around the area and soon discovered two paths that pheasants often took.
“These two paths are routes that pheasants often take. We can set traps in these two places.” Li Xiang tilted his head and pointed to the small paths on the left and right that he had barely noticed.
"If Teacher Li hadn't said anything or even turned his head to look, we really wouldn't have noticed that there was a path where pheasants had walked."
"Teacher Li, what should we do next?" Li Yinsheng tilted her head and looked. She did not see the faint traces of the pheasant, but she completely trusted Li Xiang's judgment because Li Xiang was a wilderness survival expert and definitely knew more than them.
"Next, set up a few traps on the path the pheasants walk on. If you want to learn, I'll teach you later." Li Xiang took out the rope and short stick he had twisted yesterday from Liu Yifei's shoulder bag, and also cut a few tough sticks about the size of an adult's thumb.
Li Xiang then took a forked tree branch, shaped it into a barb, and sharpened one end of the barb to make it easier to insert into the ground. He then prepared two thin rods, one ten centimeters and the other fifteen centimeters, to serve as a trigger rod and a bait rod.
Then tie one end of the twisted rope to the boom, and attach a slip knot to the other end. Adjust the slip knot to the appropriate size, and then attach a small wooden trigger rod about five centimeters away from the slip knot.
Next, insert the barb you made earlier into the ground, in a position perpendicular to the ground after the boom is pulled down. Then, pass the trigger rod through the barb rod and use the bait rod to brace the trigger rod at an angle in the direction the small wooden rod springs back. Do not insert the other end into the soil. When making the bait rod, leave a small twig in the middle and sprinkle some coconut meat on it as bait.
Then insert a ring of small wooden sticks around it to make it slide in the air. The small wooden sticks are tilted inwards!
As soon as a pheasant or other small animal bites the bait in the middle, the bait will get stuck on the bait stick. The prey will pull or push the bait stick, and then it will separate from the trigger rod. The neck lasso will be pulled by the elastic hanging rod above, and it will instantly and firmly lock the prey's neck, thus suspending the prey.
"It looks pretty easy. Teacher Li, let me try making it and see if it's correct." After looking at the trap Li Xiang had set up, Li Yinsheng felt it wasn't difficult.
Li Yinsheng eagerly picked up the materials and began to imitate Li Xiang's steps to make a trap. Although her technique was a little clumsy, she quickly completed the first trap under Li Xiang's guidance.
"Hmm, not bad. It's quite good that you did so well on your first try." Li Xiang looked at Li Yinsheng's work and nodded with satisfaction, feeling the satisfaction of a great teacher producing a great student.
“I’ll give it a try too,” Liu Yifei said eagerly, and then picked up the materials and began to make it. Although her technique was more rusty than Li Yinsheng’s, Li Xiang was very impressed by her enthusiasm and perseverance.
"Don't rush, take your time, and do each step carefully." Li Xiang patiently guided Liu Yifei, explaining the importance and techniques of each step again and again.
With their combined efforts, Liu Yifei successfully completed her first trap. Although the shape and proportions were not entirely satisfactory, her hard work showed Li Xiang her progress.
Afterwards, the three of them each set a trap. Seeing that it was still early, Li Yinsheng said, "It's still early today, let's explore around a bit more."
Liu Yifei and Li Xiang naturally had no objections.
The three continued to expand their search area, exploring the surroundings of the camp.
After walking for another half hour, Li Yinsheng suddenly stopped when she passed a steep hillside.
These are two extremes: one side is densely forested and lush with trees, while the other side is desolate with withered trees.
However, at this moment, the live stream chat was flooded with comments because the drone in the air had captured the situation on the other side, and the live stream viewers were the first to see it...
