Chapter 35: The Lost Pond
There are houses, there are land, there are crops.
All of a sudden, you don't have to worry about eating, drinking, and living!
Xiao Ning felt that he had reached the pinnacle of his life on this desert island!
Hey!
Xiao Ning took Jiang Fei and counted the livestock on the big grassland together.
Carefully reckoning, there were six bovines, three sheep, and seven unknown herbivores, for a total of sixteen!
These sixteen heads are enough for them to eat for half a year!
And in this half a year, the crops in the field should also grow, and then there will be another bumper harvest!
In this way, they can be away from famine for at least the next year!
Cool!
After seven days like this, Xiao Ning and the others were no longer satisfied with the status quo.
Man's desire for upward movement is infinite after all.
Therefore, Xiao Ning and others began to ponder and make some seasonings!
And this idea comes from Chen Xue's professionalism!
Xiao Ning, Jiang Fei and Dai Xinrui were also surprised when they first heard about Chen Xue's major in college.
Chen Xue's major in college turned out to be a chef class!
New Northern Cooking School!
This cooking school is famous!
Its well-known degree is comparable to the famous school "Dongshan Green Flight"!
Which one is strong in excavation technology, Huaxia Dongshan is looking for green Xiang!
Chen Xue studied in the chef class, so she will naturally come into contact with the seasoning, so she can identify the plants that are suitable for making seasonings!
Fennel, cinnamon, sesame, peppercorns......
At Xiao Ning's request, Chen Xue began to lead everyone to find the target plant.
Soon, the crowd made an astonishing discovery.
That's one, kiwi tree!
"It's a pity, it's not a seasoning, but it's also a big catch, let's dig it out and bring it back?" Chen Ling asked.
"No, this thing, once it is dug up and planted, it will be difficult to survive, so don't move it. ”
"Leave a mark, you can pick it up later. Xiao Ning said.
"Who said it wasn't a seasoning? This kiwi is sweet!"
"You can extract the sugar in it and make saccharin. ”
"Moreover, this kiwi can be used as jam, and it is also very good to use on barbecue!" Chen Xue said.
"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and pick some and bring them back!"
Jiang Fei's eyes lit up suddenly.
In the past few days, the barbecue he has eaten, except for the salt that is salt, there is no other taste, and his mouth is already salty bubbling!
He desperately needs something else to stimulate his taste buds!
"Pick some ripe, hard don't want, it's a waste to pick it. Xiao Ning admonished.
On this desert island, it is shameful to waste a single bit of food, and unripe kiwifruit must not be picked!
Everyone thought so and began to pick.
The low place was picked by Chen Ling's three daughters, and the high place was picked by Xiao Ning and Jiang Fei.
Soon, everyone picked more than 30 kiwifruit, which was enough for the time being.
Jiang Fei's eyes focused on the kiwi fruit that naturally fell on the ground, Xiao Ning had a premonition, and thought that before, this guy could directly lie down and lick the rabbit blood on the ground, Jiang Fei shouldn't do it again, right?
Really!
Under Xiao Ning's shocked gaze, Jiang Fei lay down again!
"You eat and be careful of diarrhea!"
Although Xiao Ning advocates cherishing food, it does not mean that bad things should also be cherished, in case of eating bad stomach, there is no place to treat the disease.
"Who said I'm going to eat it! I just want to take these kiwis back and throw them in the ground to see if they can grow kiwi saplings!"
Jiang Fei glared at Xiao Ning angrily.
"Uh. Xiao Ning touched his head in embarrassment.
Everyone packed the kiwi and was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Chen Xue.
"Wait a minute!" Chen Xue shouted.
"What's wrong?" Chen Ling asked.
"I've found the seasoning!" Chen Xue pointed to the kiwi tree and said with a smile.
"What seasoning?" Dai Xinrui asked curiously.
"Star anise!" Chen Xue said.
"Is this an anise tree?" Jiang Fei squatted down curiously, looking at the small tree that was more than half a person tall.
"Hmm! Pick it and bring it back to make spices!" Chen Xue nodded.
Jiang Fei was a little disappointed and picked the star anise, he still hoped to find chili peppers, peppers and the like, this star anise is not very delicious.
After cleaning up, the group continued to search for the target plant.
"What is this red one?raspberry?" Jiang Fei suddenly pointed to some red fruits with some surprise.
"It seems to be. Chen Ling took one off curiously, and had the posture of putting it in his mouth to taste it.
"Don't eat it!" However, Xiao Ning hurriedly stopped her, it was better not to eat wild fruits indiscriminately.
"It's a raspberry, you can eat it!" Dai Xinrui said with a determined face.
Everyone turned their heads to look at Dai Xinrui, which made Dai Xinrui look a little embarrassed.
"My family used to grow raspberries. Dai Xinrui explained with a red face.
Xiao Ning hesitated for a while, picked up a fruit, took a small bite, first sipped it in his mouth for a while, and then swallowed it.
A few minutes passed, and there was no adverse reaction, and the taste was indeed very similar to raspberries.
So, everyone swept a whole raspberry tree more than two meters high and ate all the raspberry fruits on it.
After eating the raspberries, everyone decided to go back to eat at noon, and continued to explore, looking for more target plants, and by the way, looking for other foods that could be eaten.
In this way, the group walked about twenty kilometers, and it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, and they had to turn back and return to the base area before dark.
"How is it?" Xiao Ning looked at Chen Xue who was counting the loot.
"Not bad, thirty kiwis, some star anise, some peppercorns, some dates, and a snake, eight green mangoes, six taro, a raspberry branch, ......"
Chen Xue reported the name of the trophy, and they really gained a lot from this trip.
"Let's go!" Xiao Ning grinned, very satisfied with today's harvest.
"I'm going back and making snake soup for you! Star anise and peppercorns are just right to hide the smell of snakes. Chen Xue said.
"Snake soup!" Jiang Fei's hala is about to flow out, it is a rare delicacy!
At least on a desert island, sort of!
Xiao Ning smiled slightly, now there is even a cook by his side!
Xiao Ning is more and more confident about life on a desert island!
I don't know who started first and hummed a happy song, so the group, humming a happy song, stepped on a cheerful step, and returned to the base area.
"I'm dying of thirst, quench my thirst with some water. After Jiang Fei put down the things he had brought back, he picked up a container and walked towards the pond.
However, the more Jiang Fei walked, the more he found that something was wrong, why, was it so empty in front of him?
What about ponds?
What about water?
"Damn! The pond is gone!"
Jiang Fei yelled, and the startled people hurriedly ran over to see, and then, their eyes widened.
This huge pond has disappeared!
