Chapter 58: It's Hard to Find a Vegetable
Xu Yi kept swinging his machete, after all, it was a dense forest, with a lot of plants and thorns.
If you don't have a machete, you have to shovel it out with sappers.
However, sapper shovels are not as good as machetes. Therefore, after 18 chops, Xu Yi will not use the sapper shovel much, but he will carry it with him. After all, there are times when a sapper shovel is more useful.
Xu Yi was drilling around in the forest, looking at the trees and the ground from time to time.
After all, he needs to look for wild vegetables.
It's not enough to eat meat, vegetables have to keep up.
Therefore, the task of coming out of Xu Yi this time is more important.
Walking to a place, Xu Yi was attracted by a plant.
"Hey, this is Houttuynia cordata?"
Houttuynia cordata is not only a vegetable, but also an herb.
Houttuynia cordata can effectively inhibit catarrhal bacteria, influenza bacilli, pneumococcus, Staphylococcus aureus, etc., but this can be used to make plant antibiotics.
In addition to this, it can also improve immunity, diuresis, and so on.
Xu Yi really didn't expect that there was a plant like Houttuynia cordata in this world.
The taste of Houttuynia cordata is acceptable to many people, but for some, it is indeed a rare delicacy.
Xu Yi had eaten Houttuynia cordata, but he didn't think it was delicious, and he didn't feel disgusted.
This is a 'vegetable' that can be eaten.
Xu Yi didn't know if Lu Ke would eat it or not, but he decided to pull these houttuynia back.
After cleaning up the messy plants around him with a machete, Xu Yi began to pull out Houttuynia cordata.
Patches of Houttuynia cordata made Xu Yi still quite happy.
In case Lu Ke can also accept the taste of Houttuynia cordata, then they have a vegetable.
Xu Yi pulled it out for half an hour, tied it together with about a pound or two, and then put it in his back basket.
Gripping the machete, Xu Yi continued to explore.
After the seizure of Houttuynia cordata, Xu Yi had a lot of confidence.
Xu Yi also explored more carefully, and was unwilling to miss any kind of plant.
Because, they can all become a dish on the table.
"It's eleven o'clock so soon?" Xu Yi glanced at the time and said helplessly.
The area he explored was not very large, and it would not take half an hour to walk back.
So, Xu Yi turned around and went back.
After all, going back too late will make Lu Ke worried.
When he went back, Xu Yi quickened his pace, and it only took more than twenty minutes for him to return to the camp.
In the camp, Lu Ke had already begun to prepare for lunch.
"Xu Yi, come back, drink some water first, I'll eat the fish when it's in the pot." When Lu Ke saw that Xu Yi would come, his hanging heart immediately fell.
Every time Chu Yi went out alone, she was very worried.
Danger is everywhere, and accidents can happen at any time.
"Hmm. Xu Yi nodded, took down the back basket, and then said, "I picked a little houttuynia back, can you eat it?"
"There is Houttuynia cordata, of course I ate it, and the taste is okay. "Lu Ke did eat Houttuynia cordata, saying that it can fight cancer, and he has been eating it for a while.
"That's good, I'm worried that you won't eat it. Xu Yi grinned happily, both of them ate and talked, so they could fry one at noon today.
"I'll wash it and fry a bowl later. Xu Yi took the houttuynia out of the back basket and washed it up.
"Xu Yi, there are even Houttuynia cordata here, and there must be other vegetables, right?" Lu Ke looked at Xu Yi who was washing Houttuynia and asked curiously.
To be honest, she wanted to eat vegetables.
Cabbage, greens, water spinach, eggplant, cucumber, you can just come to it.
Thinking about it, my saliva is dripping.
"There should be, but it's harder to find. I searched for hours today and didn't look for much. Xu Yi hopes that every time he goes out, he will gain something, and it doesn't matter if he spends more time.
"Let's go with you next time, shall we?" Lu Ke felt that it would definitely not be as good as two people to find it alone.
"Okay, you've always had better luck than me, maybe you'll really meet a serious vegetable. Xu Yi grinned, thinking that Lu Ke was the lucky little goddess.
Yesterday I went out and didn't harvest salt, and coconut.
He went out on his own for a long time, and he found Houttuynia cordata, not even a plant suitable for making arrows with force.
In fact, Xu Yi really wanted to find a bamboo beater, but he didn't get anything at all.
"Okay, washed up. Xu Yi didn't wash it all off, only a part of it.
Regarding Xu Yi's remarks that he was lucky, Lu didn't believe it.
If you're lucky, can you get cancer?
In her opinion, Xu Yi is the lucky little prince.
Sign up with him, so that she will have the opportunity to come to this world to explore together, and she will be able to temporarily get rid of the torment of illness.
After taking the very fatty Houttuynia cordata, Lu Ke put all the fish fillets into a bowl.
Lack of oil, so I can only put some water to boil it, and then put a little salt to accompany it. Stir-fry, there is no way to fry.
Not to mention that there is no oil, even this small steel pot is not suitable for frying.
"I've just cooked a stack of fungus, I'll pick some. Xu Yi was not satisfied with just adding one dish, so he was ready to harvest the fungus as well.
It's been a few days since the fungus was moved back, and there are indeed a lot of them that can be picked.
Soon, Xu Yi picked a bowl of fungus and came back, and washed it diligently.
Here, Lu Ke had already cooked Houttuynia and put it in a bowl.
"Come, fungus. Xu Yi smiled and handed the washed fungus to Lu Ke with the bowl.
Lu Ke took the fungus and poured it into the pot.
"Zi"
The fungus made a sound when it came into contact with the pot, and soon the aroma came.
"It's just a bowl of rice, otherwise two dishes and one soup, how perfect!"
Looking at the two bowls of dishes on the slate, Xu Yi couldn't help but say.
"Xu Yi, do you say there is rice in this world?" Thinking of rice, Lu Ke was also a little greedy.
In the past, she didn't think that having food was a happy thing, but now she feels that a bowl of white rice can be eaten without any vegetables.
"It's hard to say about this, I naturally want rice to exist. Not to mention rice, grains, any one is good. "After all, if you want to survive for 500 days, you can't just eat meat without staple food.
The stomach and intestines of modern people are different from those of their ancestors, and there is no way to survive only by eating meat, drinking and eating fruits.
"If you have potatoes and sweet potatoes, they can also be used as staple foods. Lu Ke also nodded approvingly, after all, she had eaten meat for 9 days, and she also wanted to have some staple food.
If she hadn't spoken all the time, she didn't know if she would be able to last 500 days.
Food is so important for survival.
