Chapter 92: Pepper Artemisia and Fortifications
"Damn, why did I forget such a delicious material!"
Under the camera, Chen Fan patted his head, a big nose appeared on the screen, Chen Fan laughed and said: "Hahaha, my memory almost forgot the spices all over the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains." ”
After speaking, Chen Fan carried a wild pickaxe and walked to the loess slope on the side, just looking at the past, between the shrubs and weeds, he saw a touch of green, dotted among the mountains and fields at will.
I walked in and looked carefully, and found that this grass was somewhat similar to the leaves of chrysanthemum, long crisp green, and I pinched a section casually, and pinched it lightly at my fingertips, and a fragrance came immediately.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the best condiment for eating fish is also the most common wild spice found in the Tianshan Mountains, which is pepper artemisia. The taste is similar to practical mint, but it is slightly lighter, which is very good for removing the smell and improving the freshness. ”
"Ayimanti: Rub, I was just about to say it! Anchor, you thought of it first, pepper artemisia fish, make pepper artemisia fish, just use lake water and pepper artemisia, don't use anything, or add some leek flowers, it tastes very delicious when it comes out of the pot......
"Cute family Yuanyuan: Pepper Artemisia, how does it look like a little spinach, I feel that Tianshan is really rich in products, is there that kind of spice anywhere?"
"Lu Yadaren: Yes, this thing is good, we drive to the northwest, we will use this to make fish to eat, cook it raw, if it is dried, it is also quite good to roll it into powder. ”
"Clear snow, no trace: Tianshan traditional Chinese medicine records that pepper artemisia has a pungent and bitter taste, warm nature, and a slight cold, which can relieve heat and smooth qi, dispel wind and dampness, invigorate blood and relieve pain, detoxification and diuretic. External use to treat eczema, aphthous ulcers and toxic swelling. It is usually best to use it to make water as tea. ”
"Si Xiaoji: You are all so good, talents, talents, I think this thing, just cold dressing!"
Speaking of deliciousness, Chen Fan opened his mouth, and there were barrages about pepper artemisia on the screen.
He tasted it himself, and then said: "Well, there is a strange fragrance in the mouth, like a mint flavor, and it is a little more warm than the softness of mint, and the feeling of numbness spreads on the tip of the tongue, which is really unique." ”
For Artemisia pepper, a willow-shaped wild vegetable that spreads all over the mountains and wilderness of northern Xinjiang, the people of the Northwest love it very much and can't stop.
"Okay, I'll find some shallots, preferably as the sailor said, find some wild leeks, use electric leek flowers, and I'll make pepper artemisia fish to eat in a while." ”
Chen Fan said while quickly collecting this natural spice, he is going to collect some of it to dry, and take it on the road, in case there is a shortage of water and salt, he can use it to refresh himself, which is also very good.
Because it is the rainy season in northern Xinjiang, under the moisture of the rain, the pepper artemisia grows particularly lush and abundant, and Chen Fan only took half an hour to make a large pile of sunshine on the ground.
The marching pot was removed, and it was made of three disassembleable and easy-to-fold alloy materials, which were put together to form a pot.
And this kind of marching pot is even more magical, after being put together into a frying pan, it is actually moved down, and in the same way, the lid of the pot that is put together tightly is also available, and it is still transparent.
Chen Fan doesn't know what high-tech is, like glass but it is by no means glass, it can't be crystal, plastic and other garbage materials, anyway, it is light and easy to carry, Chen Fan feels really happy this time, he has everything.
Taking down the other military kettle, Chen Fan first thought about making a fire and boiling a pot of water to drink.
"Everyone, now that the conditions allow, I will drink boiled water, although the water of this lake is flowing water, and most of it is snowmelt on the plateau, but in the wild, if there is a condition to drink boiled water, I still drink boiled water, for example, I have this condition now. ”
As he spoke, he went to find a few harder red willow branches to make a chisel, threaded up a few small fish, and roasted them around the fire.
Without oil, Chen Fan, who is not good at adding flavor, can only be the idea of hitting the biggest salmon.
Cut off a slice from the salmon's belly, where there was a lot of fat, put the marching pot on the fire, and threw the fish pieces on it.
The chopsticks made of willow branches kept flipping, and soon there was grease at the bottom of the pot.
At this time, Chen Fan lowered the fire again, and then threw a few small cucumber fish at the bottom of the pot and fried them directly.
"Hehe, it's time to fry the fish, and when the two sides are golden, I'll add the washed pepper artemisia, and then put the cut pike pieces, and I will have a good meal tonight." ”
"However, it should be noted that during the day, I still have to check my surroundings after eating and confirm that it is safe before camping here, otherwise I can't guarantee that the taste of my food will not attract other beasts. ”
"Lake monster, beware of lake monsters, anchor, you are so close to the lake, aren't you afraid that the lake monster will catch you and eat it?"
"Well, the lake monster, in fact, I don't believe it, but there are big fish in the lake, similar to salmon, and silver carp can grow to about two meters, and I believe it for hundreds of pounds. So, I did the fortifications. ”
Chen Fan pointed to a pile of large stones and thorns placed in a mess.
"Even if there are big fish coming to sneak attack, more than ten meters above the surface of the water, there are rocks and thorns, what lake monster can attack me?"
When Chen Fan said this, the cucumber fish in the pot had already been fried and cooked.
"Simmer slowly, gurgling, this is the real food, anchor, you, the master of dark cuisine, rarely make a delicious meal. ”
"I didn't see the anchor eating bugs, don't open the forest!"
"Poof, upstairs is heavy on taste, the anchor is now in a condition to eat fish and insects, that's stupid!"
"That's it!" Chen Fan was also depressed, he chose to eat insects when he had no choice.
If there is a better choice, why should he eat something more unpalatable.
Eating fish and blowing water, Chen Fan was very relaxed and comfortable on the first day, but the wind picked up at night, and he felt a little cold, everything was as usual.
The next morning, Chen Fan finished breakfast, cleaned up the scene, and brought the dried food that had been dried and baked, and then went south along the lake, ready to walk out of Bosten Lake.
It stir-fried dried pepper and mixed with small dried fish, all of which were broken into powder, ready to cope with the lack of food and condiments in the future.
Walking on the road, Chen Fan saw people fishing in the lake from time to time, and he sighed: "My parents fish in this lake from May to October every year. ”
He pointed to a small fishing boat not far away and said, "That's the kind of boat that one or two people use to catch fish and shrimp." ”
"Hey, it's amazing, what kind of canoe is it, it doesn't seem to be the same as what I've seen. ”
"Yes, do you know the kind of wear, the anchor? It's so small, the people on it haven't sunk. ”
"Uh...... Let me see. ”
