Chapter 529: Baobab
Big Lu, who lived in the tree house next door, was sour, hugged his daughter-in-law and hummed: "The kid is so bad!
Xu Suizhu slapped him funny: "What nonsense! That's your father-in-law!"
"That's right. Big Brother Lu no longer remembered his son, and hugged the child's mother and lay down on the pine-scented wooden couch.
Since the tornado, today must be the happiest day for everyone: first discovered the island, and then found that the only inhabitant of the island was the child's mother's father, tsk!
Wait! He didn't speak ill of his father-in-law before he confessed his relatives, did he? Although he was a little defensive at first, he didn't offend people in his words, right?
Well, there shouldn't be! The words "poke the eyes of that thing" only turned around in my heart and didn't say it. Glad it was good!
"Daughter-in-law, celebrate!"
"How do you celebrate?" Xu Suizhu began to fight under his caress for a while, and asked in a daze, "Will you thaw the beef eye meat and fry the steak tomorrow?"
As soon as the words fell, the man beside him laughed happily.
"Why wait for tomorrow? You can fry it now! Do you prefer to fry on one side or on both sides?"
Teacher Xu, who was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes: "???"
It took a while to react: Baozi's father's fried steak and what she thought were completely different things!
This thing is treating her like a steak at all!
In the tree house two or three meters above the ground, she was pressed to turn over and over, and it really looked like she was frying bull's eye meat.
Xu Zi Cast Net Suizhu: Big man, I suspect you're driving but I don't have proof.
What kind of evidence do you want! Something obvious! When the movement is too loud, the whole treehouse creaks.
Xu Suizhu was so ashamed that she pushed his chest in protest: "Light!" Aren't you afraid of being heard by everyone?
The next second, he was kissed.
In a trance, I was really worried that the treehouse that his father-in-law had worked so hard to build would collapse......
Fortunately, the rain began to pick up.
The dense rain curtain is like a natural soundproof wall, engulfing all noise.
Until the night passes......
It rained all night and finally stopped at dawn.
Mrs. Lu and her husband felt short, and they got up at five o'clock.
After the rain stopped, I saw Xu Tiejun carrying a basket made of vines and coconut shells picking mushrooms in the forest, and he also came down to pick mushrooms together: "My family, didn't you say that there are a lot of wild mushrooms that are poisonous?
"At first, I didn't dare to eat indiscriminately, but then I saw some flying insects stopping on the mushrooms and gnawing on them. Xu Tiejun said optimistically, "The same goes for wild fruits, don't look at the wild fruit trees in the forest, there are many birds that birds dare not peck, even if the poison does not kill people, it is not good to eat it." ”
He didn't say that when he first came, he didn't know how to distinguish it, and he accidentally ate the poisonous fruit, which caused intestinal colic, and it was not life-threatening, but he didn't dare to pick it and eat it casually after that.
"Grandpa!"
A few of the little buns also woke up, lying on the tree house and shouting: "Grandpa, I want to pick mushrooms too!"
"Grandpa is here to carry you down!"
Xu Tiejun strode to the bottom of the treehouse, climbed the long ladder back and forth a few steps, and transferred the children from the treehouse to the ground.
One of them was given a basket of coconut shells and took them to distinguish edible mushrooms.
"This mushroom is the most tender and tasty. Xu Tiejun quickly picked the small gray umbrella mushroom and said, "But it only appears after the rain, and as soon as the sun comes out, the temperature will retract as soon as it is high." ”
"Then let's all pick more, turn around and dry it, and take it to eat on the road. Mrs. Lu said with a smile.
"I've stocked up on a lot of dried mushrooms, and I'll carry them down in a while. ”
Everyone thought he had said a lot, at most the size of a sack. No, when he opened the doors of the treehouses where the grain was hoarding, everyone was stunned:
Whole ...... There are three treehouses stockpiling dried mushrooms, wild cassava, kudzu, and all kinds of dried fruits and vegetables.
Oh, and there is also a tree house stacked with stone knives, stone axes, and other miscellaneous items, and the hanging beams are full of salted fish and salted meat.
"Dad, where did this meat come from?" asked Xu Suizhu when he helped deliver something.
Salted fish can understand - his father made a fishing net out of fine linen rattan, and from time to time he netted some fish, shrimp and crabs. But salted meat is rare, and no prey has been found on the island.
"It's bamboo rat and seabird meat. Xu Tiejun replied with a smile, "The fat boy brought it." ”
The fat old cat who was named puffed out his chest proudly.
"The fat boy is so powerful!" the little bun ran over with bright eyes and stretched out his hand to smooth the fat old cat's back.
After a night of cognition, it seems to have understood: this group of species like its owner is not an invading enemy, and it is not a threat. So he lay on the spot and didn't dodge or dodge, and let the little bun's warm little hands smooth its hair.
"Purr! purr!"
The drama spirit turtle tasted it.
Crawl to the feet of the little friend, hold your head high and stick it between the little bun and the fat old cat: the turtle also has hair! Oh, the turtle has no hair, the turtle has a back, and the turtle has a back!
The little bun, who didn't know it, happily shared the joy with his friends: "Blessing! Do you say that the fat boy is not very powerful? It can catch seabirds and bamboo rats! My grandfather said that the taste of bamboo rats is old, fragrant and tender, and they will be made for us to eat later!"
Turtle: No, the turtle refuses, the turtle protests, the turtle doesn't want to eat the meat of the bamboo rat, the turtle just wants to go with the back!
The fat old cat raised his eyelids and rolled his eyes in disdain at the hostile pet tortoise.
The drama spirit turtle exploded: "Snorr?"
Who actually rolled his eyes at the turtle? Who gave the dog the guts...... No, cat guts!
"Meow!"
"Snorr?"
Who's loud and loud, the turtle is fearless!
"Purr!"
"......" The fat old cat stood up lazily, shook the smooth black and shiny cat hair, and walked away with elegant cat steps.
The play spirit turtle happily lay on the spot: the stupid cat was scared away by the turtle!
Unexpectedly, the little friend chased after the fat old cat: "Fat boy - fat boy - grandpa gave me a lot of small dried fish, let's eat together!"
Drama Turtle: ......
There is no love in life.
"Hahahaha......"
Everyone watched for a while.
Breakfast is a delicious gray mushroom soup with fluffy and fragrant tree steamed buns.
Xu Suizhu also knew that this tree steamed bun turned out to be baobab.
Baobabs are full of treasures:
Young leaves can be used as vegetables, blanched and cold, fresh and refreshing;
The fruit is juicy and refreshing. When you're sleepy, sucking a glass of baobab juice or chewing on the pulp is even better than drinking coffee;
The trunk of the tree is like a water storage bucket, and the inside is loose and easy to store water. When you are thirsty, poke a hole in the trunk of a tree, and a clear spring gushes out;
The bark is fibrous and can be used for rope rubbing and weaving. The rattan ropes Xu Tiejun used to build the treehouse, the fishing nets he braided, the "thin blankets" he spread in the treehouse, and the vests he wore on his body were all made of the bark of baobabs.
Not only that, the fruits, leaves and bark are also medicinal materials, which have the effects of nourishing the stomach and gallbladder relieving, clearing away heat and swelling, stopping bleeding and stopping diarrhea.
When Xu Tiejun first arrived, his wound was inflamed, he was cold and feverish...... If it hadn't been for eating baobab by mistake, I would have died a long time ago, how could I hold up now.
