Chapter 163: Can You Eat This Thing?
Bai Wei's group is lazy, and they are even more cautious when dragging a few female colleagues, usually they don't even dare to go down to the top of the mountain, and they have to let male colleagues go when washing vegetables.
There is no comparison with Wang Xiaoxiao's tenacity at all, the most important thing is that Bai Wei himself is lazy and lazy, he can lie down and never stand, even the rice seedlings he transplanted in the past are wet when it rains, and dry when it doesn't rain.
Every day, the most I see them are a few male colleagues, who go up the mountain in groups to pick fresh mushrooms and some wild vegetables that we have eaten before.
In addition, it is all clear soup and little water, and it is rare to even go to the beach to turn smoked fish jerky.
But our side has a clear division of labor, with Wang Ping and Wang Xiaoxiao as a pair, Chen Jian and Liu Jiaojiao as a team, and I as Xu Wei and Xiao Qiang as a team.
The three of us had to go out separately every time, and we were looking for food almost every day, except for picking fruit, and looking for nearby freshwater areas.
And Xiao Qiang's main thing is to find herbs.
After all, after all this time, we feel more and more that herbs are life-saving.
Moreover, all the herbs that Xiao Qiang can recognize now must be utilized.
Unfortunately, we didn't have pen and paper, and we didn't have the means to write down the names of the herbs we found, so it became a bit of a hassle.
It was up to Xiao Qiang to mark all the clay jars containing herbs, and she could recognize them herself.
In addition to the shell roads we collected on the beach, we also paid more attention to picking up some sea shrimp, supplementing protein, and picking up some sea cucumbers to supplement nutrition.
Behind the yard we circled, Wang Ping also built a pole similar to a drying rack, on which he could use vines to dry all the things we bought.
Moreover, we have been weaving all kinds of basket frames for the past few days.
After this period of exercise, I can even use vines and simple branches to make such flat baskets, which is more conducive to drying some shell meat and cod liver.
However, after eating the fruit for such a long time, I am also a little tired of eating, and I am not as happy as I found out at the beginning.
Wang Xiaoxiao sat in the back and looked at me with a relaxed sigh for the short-legged bird.
"We've almost eaten the oil, I think we still have to catch some wild boars and come back to get more oil, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand this clear soup and water." ”
Xu Wei heard Wang Xiaoxiao's words and leaned aside and laughed: "I think we can't stand it, Bai Wei, they really can't stand it, I saw them start the fire last night, all the wild vegetable leaves were put in it, and a few dried fish, they didn't even have salt, and they didn't know how they spent this time." ”
Speaking of salt, we don't have much sea salt, and we really should go to the beach again in the past two days.
was discussing, Chen Jian walked out from behind, looked at me with a smile, Brother Wang Ping said: "Do we want to go out and see if there are any mushrooms nearby, he said that he wants to go up the tree to catch some bird eggs, come back to make some soup, and Xu Wei didn't say that he can make wine, let's go this time to pick up more grapes, two days ago, I saw that those grapes have begun to land, I'm afraid that if I don't eat it, it will be out of season." ”
I nodded, turned around and followed Chen Jian with the basket and bottle, and took Xu Wei to the back mountain.
Although Wang Ping's leg was almost well, he still couldn't stand the long journey, so I left him a gun and told him to guard the camp.
Chen Jian and I went to pick mushrooms.
When we went to the fruit grove, the mother monkey was very happy and jumped up and down with the little monkey cub to help us pick up things.
Xu Wei laughed: "I think we have to give these two monkeys a name, otherwise, how disrespectful it is to scream like this." ”
Chen Jian looked at Xu Wei and smiled: "What does the little sister-in-law want to call?" ”
Xu Wei was blushed by Jian Chen's little sister-in-law, turned her head to look at my shyness, and said hesitantly for a long time: "I look at this little monkey, why don't you go to find Xiao Douding, the big monkey is called Douding's mother anyway, it's a code name, just call it casually." ”
After saying that, he turned around and went to find grapes with a knife to make wine.
I turned my head to look at Chen Jian: "You kid is so fast-mouthed, if you call him angry like that, see if I don't kill you." ”
Chen Jian looked at me and rolled his eyes, and came to me to lecture me: "Brother Sihai, do you know? It's like this with Clerk Xu, so you must handle this matter well, otherwise, the days of the war will be later, I tell you, if I call him that, he will definitely not be angry. I will feel even sweeter! Brother Sihai sees that you can do everything steadily, how can you face a woman? Just shrink back like this, is it possible that you have never been in love before?"
Chen Jian and I were born and died during this time, and our relationship was not the same as before.
In addition, since I was exiled to this desert island, only Chen Jian has never had any exclusion from me, and he seems to have been towards me from the beginning.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have handed me his only lighter, even though it was snatched away in the end.
So he's talking to me a lot more now than he was before.
I watched Chen Jian poke me, and I also felt a little embarrassed, so I quickly turned my head and pushed him.
"Don't talk nonsense here, you kid, hurry up and get busy, you have to go back before dark." ”
Before I finished speaking, I suddenly heard Xu Wei's shouting in the distance, I was stunned and hurriedly ran forward, only to find that Xu Wei was squatting on the ground looking at something.
It was a green leaf, and under the leaf were a lot of various colored round things about the size of a thumb.
Xu Wei looked at Chen Jian again, and whispered, "Is this thing edible?" I think it should be edible next to this fruit forest, right?"
Chen Jian quickly picked one, broke half of it and stuffed it into his mouth, tasted it and frowned.
"Why is this stuff so spicy? Eh, it's a little sweet, isn't this chili?"
I hurriedly asked Chen Jian to spit out the contents of his mouth quickly, and don't eat indiscriminately.
"We are not familiar with this place, you can eat it casually, what if you get poisoned? We don't care if we can eat it or not, let's pick some back first, Xiao Qiang's study is in this area, maybe he knows, maybe if it can really be eaten or spicy, then we will have seasonings in the future." ”
Xu Wei was also very happy, and hurriedly filled his small basket with a few, and when we finished picking fruits, picking up mushrooms and wild vegetables, and when we returned to the top of the mountain, we found that Xiao Qiang and they had already cooked food.
Xu Wei handed these strange things we picked to Xiao Qiang like a treasure.
Xiao Qiang only glanced at it, and the whole person became excited.
