Lu Fan returned to the shelter, eager to show off his skills with the newly discovered chili peppers and taro.
He first carefully washed the taro, sliced it into thin slices, put it into a clay pot, added clear spring water drawn from the stream, and slowly cooked it over a wood fire.
After cooking the taro slices, he mashed them into a paste with a stone pestle, and then added some fresh wild vegetables.
After washing, chop the taro and sprinkle it into the taro paste. Add a small amount of salt, mix well, and shape into round taro cakes.
"It looks delicious!"
"Daily drooling"
At this point, Wang Tao also shared some information with everyone: "Taro has a soft and glutinous texture. It can be steamed or boiled and eaten directly, or it can be processed into snacks such as taro balls."
Lipu taro is considered the finest among taro varieties, and it even has a story associated with it.
It is said that during the reign of Emperor Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, Liu Yong was the governor of Jiangxi Province. The local government presented Emperor Qianlong with Lipu taro, which became famous throughout the country.
To prevent local officials from forcing farmers to grow taro in order to curry favor with Emperor Qianlong, Liu Yong invited Qianlong to dinner at his home and served him mochi instead of Lipu taro, thus making Qianlong unwilling to eat Lipu taro.
Of course, these are all folk tales.
"Wow, after hearing this story, I want to try it even more."
"I'd rather risk deceiving the emperor than let him eat this taro. How delicious it must be!"
Next, Lu Fan washed the chili peppers, chopped them into small pieces, put them in a pot, and then scooped some of the previously rendered lard into the stone pot and slowly stir-fried it over low heat.
As the temperature rises, the chili flakes, soaked in lard, gradually release a rich aroma, enveloping the entire shelter in this spicy fragrance.
Lu Fan also added some chopped scallions and ginger to make the chili sauce more flavorful.
After stir-frying, he scooped out the chili sauce and set it aside for later use.
With everything ready, Lu Fan placed the taro cakes on the charcoal fire to bake. Soon, the taro cakes were golden brown on both sides, emitting an enticing aroma.
He spread a thick layer of chili sauce on the taro cake, and with one bite, the soft and chewy texture of the taro cake and the spicy aroma of the chili sauce blended perfectly, creating a unique and unforgettable taste.
"It looks delicious, and I like spicy food too."
"It feels like reading a wish-fulfillment novel. Lu Fan is having a great time, and I'm happy too."
"Now that you mention it, I do feel that way."
After finishing his meal, Lu Fan wiped his mouth and said, "Ah, that was great!"
Lu Fan lay back in the chair, humming a song leisurely.
However, not long after, Lu Fan felt some discomfort in his stomach, and his intestines began to churn.
The next moment, he couldn't help but run into the toilet.
"What happened to the great god Lu Fan?"
"It seems like diarrhea."
"That's normal. The food was so bland a few days ago, but these past two days it's been lard and chili peppers, so the stomach can't handle it."
"I hope nothing bad happens."
"Please don't. One of the contestants from India is suffering from diarrhea and is now lying in a shelter, completely exhausted and unable to do anything."
At this point, Zhao Hangjun analyzed: "Lu Fan was too excited and didn't pay attention to his own changes. The difference in diet can indeed put a certain burden on the body."
After having diarrhea, Lu Fan sat on the ground, frowning, feeling a burning sensation in a certain area.
"Using leaves to wipe your bottom is not very convenient. It's rough, unhygienic, and can easily chafe your skin."
He suddenly remembered that he had seen some simple papermaking methods in a book before.
You can try it to solve this awkward problem for yourself.
But before that, Lu Fan had to deal with his diarrhea.
In the wild, if your body breaks down, you're basically done for.
At this moment, the Heavenly Dao's notification sound also delivered a timely reminder.
There are plants near the stream that can treat diarrhea.
Lu Fan was secretly delighted: "It really works!"
Having learned the specific directions, Lu Fan immediately set off.
In the live stream room.
"What is the great god Lu Fan going to do?"
"Why aren't you resting properly? Don't hurt yourself."
I'm so worried.
Arriving at the stream, Lu Fan began his search.
But before they had taken more than a few steps, the Heavenly Dao's notification sound began to exert its power again.
[There are herbs for treating diarrhea in the crevice of the stone wall on the right.]
Lu Fan walked over and examined it carefully, eventually finding the plant in a semi-shaded, damp crevice in the rocks.
It has long, thin leaves, a short stem, a tender green color, and a rather peculiar appearance.
[Finding the maidenhair fern]
Lu Fan carefully picked some pteris vittata to make sure he didn't damage its growing environment.
This stuff is an important resource; we must let it continue to grow.
[Wilderness Survival Announcement]
Chinese contestant Lu Fan triggers a 10,000-fold return.
【Pteris vittata*】
"So this is what the great Lu Fan came to find."
"Pteris vittata? What's the story behind it?"
"This looks like an herb, doesn't it? Anlan has picked the same kind before."
Seeing this, Zhao Hangjun couldn't help but nod: "Lu Fan has once again refreshed my understanding of him. I didn't expect him to know about herbs."
Pteris vittata can clear heat and dampness, detoxify and stop dysentery, cool the blood and stop bleeding. It has a good effect on treating dysentery, enteritis and diarrhea.
For Lu Fan, this is currently the most suitable option.
After hearing Zhao Hangjun's explanation, the audience admired Lu Fan even more.
"Lu Fan, the great god, has unlocked the Medicine God System again."
"He really knows a little bit about everything, that's amazing."
"Lu Fan, the great god, has almost no weaknesses."
"Even the great god Lu Fan cannot possess a body that never sheds diarrhea?"
Back at the shelter, Lu Fan washed the pteris vittata according to traditional methods, then put it in a ceramic pot, added an appropriate amount of water, and slowly simmered it over a wood fire.
During the decoction process, Lu Fan stirred it frequently to ensure that the medicinal effects could be fully released.
After simmering for about 30 minutes, he poured the decoction into a clean container and drank it after it cooled slightly.
"It's a bit bitter."
After saying that, Lu Fan added a little honey to the medicine.
"Ah, it tastes great~" Lu Fan swallowed the medicine in one gulp.
Live broadcast room.
"Haha, Lu Fan really doesn't want to suffer at all."
"I'm curious about what this medicine tastes like."
"It should be good with honey added."
"You guys must be really hungry... I love the taste of cheese~"
"The building is leaning..."
Although eating chili peppers caused Lu Fan diarrhea, he did not waste them.
He decided to pickle these chilies and make them into a side dish from his hometown, which they call "sour chili".
Lu Fan washed the chili peppers, removed the stems, and then chopped them with a dagger.
Then he chopped up some wild onions and wild ginger and added them in.
Mix them together, sprinkle with salt, and stir well with a stick.
You can also add some sugar to enhance the flavor; Lu Fan used honey instead.
After marinating for a period of time, the chili peppers are placed in a ceramic jar, sealed, and kept out of air and oil.
Then store it in a cool, shady place and let the chili peppers inside ferment naturally.
It can be eaten after one or two months.
