Chapter 59: Mango Discovery

The fish basket was very heavy, and when Xu Yi pulled it up, he knew that the harvest was not small.

"Dad, there are so many fish, we can drink fish soup. ”

Su Keke clapped her little hands happily, she preferred to eat fresh fish than smoked dried fish.

In this way, not only fish can be eaten, but also delicious fish soup can be drunk.

"There are so many fish, we can't eat them all, so let's kill what we have enough to eat today, and continue to put the rest in the river to raise. ”

Xu Yi felt that it was better to eat the fish fresh, so he planned to put these fish in the fish basket first.

"I'll go back and get the basket, and if I put it in a basket, I'll probably die a little bit. ”

As he spoke, Xu Yi stuck the fish basket back and put the fish basket back into the river.

He didn't have that much time to process the fish today, and the smoked dried fish did taste a little worse.

There is no saltiness, just a smoky taste.

It's okay to deal with one meal once in a while, but if you eat it all day, there's no way to do it.

Xu Yi quickly ran back, took the back basket from the top of the tree house and returned to Su Keke's side.

The gap in the back basket is not large, so Xu Yi poured the fish in the fish basket into the back basket first.

"Let's pick out the crabs and dead fish and put them in the bucket first, and deal with them first today. ”

Su Keke nodded and picked it up with Xu Yi.

This time, there were more catches than the last time, and the baskets were almost full.

So, there are still some fish that die.

The number of crabs is not very large, only 17, all of them are small river crabs.

There were also a lot of fish dead, there were more than 20 of them, but they were still fresh, they didn't smell fishy, and their stomachs didn't bulge, so they could still be eaten.

The remaining fish was divided into two parts by Xu Yi, one part was put in the back basket, and the other part was put in the fish basket and put back into the river.

Then, Xu Yi and Su Keke cleaned up the dead fish and brought them back to the camp to cook them.

It didn't take much time to cook, so Xu Yi didn't rush to work.

After eating a bowl of fish and a few crabs, the two of them began to work.

Xu Yi took Su Keke to collect small vines, because the requirements for vines are relatively high, so it also takes more time.

Vines that are too thick are not easy to tie, they must be thin enough and have good toughness.

"Daddy, this tree seems to be hollow. ”

Su Keke knocked on the spear in his hand, and there was a feeling of knocking bamboo.

"Hollow?"

Xu Yi took a look, that kind of tree grew very short, only more than one meter, like a big bamboo shoot, with a thick bottom and constantly thinning.

So, he walked over and slashed along the bottom.

"Sure enough, it's hollow, great, this can be used to hold water. ”

Xu Yi didn't expect that there would be such a plant.

There were six such hollow trees in this place, so they were all cut down by Xu Yi.

"The skin of this tree is very hard, and it is relatively thin, and it has a bit of a gourd feeling, so let's call them gourd trees. ”

"Plus, it's very light, really good container. ”

Their maximum diameter is no more than 10 centimeters, and with a plug, they can store boiling water well.

If you cut off two-thirds, it may not be more than 5 centimeters in diameter, and you can tie it up and hang it on your body, so that you can take the water to a farther place.

This discovery is still very valuable.

Xu Yi tied these gourd trees together, carried them on his shoulders, and continued to look for the vines.

"Coco, do you smell mango?"

Xu Yi asked suddenly, and then sniffed hard in the air.

"Mango?"

"Dad, did you find a mango?"

Su Keke's whole person became excited, looked around, and the saliva in his mouth began to secrete.

"No, I just smell the same smell as mango, it's very fragrant. ”

"Walk, it seems to be in this direction. ”

Xu Yi carried the gourd tree and walked in the direction where the fragrance wafted from.

After walking for a few minutes, Xu Yi and Su Keke found a mango tree with mangoes hanging on it.

The tree is not very large, only two or three meters high, and there are not many mangoes on it, only thirty or forty.

However, the size of the mango is not small, the size of Xu Yi's palm.

"It was really a mango tree, and we actually found a mango tree. ”

Xu Yi happily walked over and glanced at the neighborhood with X-ray vision as usual.

There are no animals in this area.

Because the mango tree is not tall, Xu Yi stretched out his hand and picked one down.

"It's already a little soft, it should be cooked. ”

"The epidermis is cyan, so it should be a type of green mang. ”

After Xu Yi cut the skin with his fingernails, he peeled off a small piece of skin.

This skin is not very easy to peel, indicating that it is not fully ripe.

"This shouldn't be poisonous, Dad try it. ”

As he spoke, Xu Yi took a bite, picked another one and handed it to Su Keke.

The entrance is a little sweet, with a slight astringency.

"It's delicious, the fiber of this mango is very fine and the flesh is very soft. It's not fully ripe yet, it's a little astringent, and the sweetness isn't very great. ”

"But for us, it's already very tasty. ”

After all, this is a wilderness, and it is a natural variety, which is definitely different from the mango that has been cultivated by humans for many years.

Su Keke didn't speak, but just ate the mango in his hand very intently.

"Also, this husk is a bit big, so the meat isn't particularly large. ”

Xu Yi quickly finished eating one, and then began to pick mangoes from the trees.

If you encounter it, you can't let it go.

When there is no food, these mangoes can fill the stomach and eat as a meal.

After picking them all, Xu Yi counted them, and there were 31 more.

These mangoes are not light, so so many mangoes add up to more than ten catties.

Xu Yi's snakeskin backpack was stuffed, and he was worried that he would break the strap of the snakeskin satchel.

"Coco, let's go back first. ”

Although the number of fine vines collected did not reach Xu Yi's ideal, but now that he has picked these mangoes and gourd trees, it is not suitable to continue looking for fine vines.

"Daddy, bring me some fine vines, I have the strength. ”

Su Keke was empty-handed, but Xu Yi had things on her, so she wanted to help Xu Yi with that.

"Then take a bundle of vines. ”

The small bundles weigh four or five pounds, because Xu Yi makes larger bundles and can be carried cross-body on his body.

At this weight, Su Keke can still bear it.

So, Su Keke happily straddled the thin vine diagonally on his body, picked up his spear, and walked in front of Xu Yi.

Xu Yi not only has fine vines, but also mango and gourd trees, so naturally there is no way to open the way.

Fortunately, there was no danger all the way back, and I safely moved everything back to the camp.

"Daddy, it looks like some animal has been here. ”

After Su Keke put the things down, he smelled a smell of urine.

The smell was quite pungent, so she could smell it all at once.
