Chapter 1011: Succulent Garden
During this time, Lin Zeng discovered that refining new carnivorous plants was a very interesting thing.
There are many kinds of succulents, and by controlling the refining runes, the carnivorous plants produced can derive different carnivorous plants from many aspects such as flesh quality, appearance, and taste.
This kind of refining process is much more interesting to Lin Zeng than those computer and mobile games.
In addition to refining the plant space, Lin Zeng took it as a relaxation and easily refined different carnivorous plant varieties.
Originally, the ten kinds of carnivorous plants he had refined in one go had now grown to more than twenty, and these seeds were all planted in this abandoned quarry.
Succulents do not have a high demand for nutrients, but after Lin Zeng's refining and improvement, they can also take root and grow on the hard slate-like soil.
Most of these carnivorous plants love the sun, and the quarry located on the mountainside is surrounded by no shelter, and the light conditions are excellent all year round, and they can grow "plant-based meat" with a great sense of export
Walking inside the vine plant wall, the strong mountain wind is blocked, making the quarry environment calmer and more peaceful than outside the wall.
Lin Zeng took Jiang Hua's hand, and with the other hand held the environmentally friendly shopping bag brought from the farm, pointed to those carnivorous plants of different shapes, and introduced them while picking.
"You see, this big man who is almost two meters tall, called the Bone Flesh Fire Palm Tree, it grows very fast, and ordinary Bone Flesh Fire Palm can grow to six to ten meters in a year or two. Lin Zeng pointed to a tall cactus that looked pink and green.
"I used to call it the Cactus Rod, and I thought that this long stick of the plant, no matter how it looked, did not look like a palm, and it must have been named the wrong one. Do you remember the Uncle Meat Pine in my hometown? In the small courtyard next door to him, there was a tall cactus pole, and my palm was pierced by thorns. Jiang Hua pointed to these cacti that could continue to grow taller and said with a smile.
"Most of the carnivorous plants grown here have no thorns. Or only soft thorns that can't hurt people. Lin Zeng said, took out a sickle, measured the position, and cut it horizontally from the position of the flesh and bone fire palm about one meter above the ground, about one meter, and cut off the waist of the fat flesh leaf like a long stick.
Jiang Hua and Lin Zeng cooperated tacitly, and quickly reached out and caught the broken leaf of the fallen bone flesh fire palm.
Jiang Hua picked up the broken leaf, studied the seam curiously for a while, and found that there was a faint pink juice seeping out of the incision, and a faint milky fragrance lingered on the tip of the nose.
"Its meat leaves, chopped into pieces, are very suitable for cooking braised bones, the meat is fat, but not greasy, especially the hollow hard rod with pith juice in the middle, it is said that this pith juice flows into the meat pieces, and the meat pieces become fragrant and delicious. Lin Zeng split two more, and Jiang Hua put them into an eco-friendly bag, already thinking about how to cook.
After chopping the bones and flesh, Lin Zeng continued to take Jiang Hua to look for ingredients.
"Look at this big slap, does it look like a bear's paw? Its name is fat palm, you can try the braised rice, dry pot and stewed rice, it should be very good. It is very nutritious, and the famous dish of bear paw in Huaguo may not be able to catch up with its taste. Lin Zeng picked the right size leaves from the fat palm plants that were as tall as his waist with his bare hands.
The leaves are plump and fat, and it makes people feel their appetite when they look at it.
"In fact, although the bear's paw is listed as one of the eight treasures of the Manchu and Han Dynasty, it is actually a very fishy ingredient, and the skin is thick and the meat is thick and difficult to cook, I think it is better to eat braised pig's trotters!"
"I don't like to eat such weird things. Lin Zeng nodded in agreement.
They kept going.
Not all carnivorous plants are suitable for all-day sunlight, some prefer shade, and Lin Zeng is planted in small shallow holes dug out of the mountain wall.
"This one is great for mincing meat, this one can be fried with slices, this meat is a little rough, but it can be used to feed pet cats and dogs, and even large carnivores, and they will love it. Lin Zeng likes to share the results of his refining with Jiang Zeng, and Jiang Hua will not inquire too much about their origins, but will discuss with Lin Zeng with great interest the recipes after returning to the farm.
"It's called snowflake meat, and its leaves don't look like fat cows? What's more special is that although the thickness of the leaves is between 1-2 centimeters, it has a natural diaphragm that can tear it into pieces of thin flesh. ”
"And, you see, this is a multi-colored meat ball, which is probably the closest flavor to beef among all plant-based meats at the moment. ”
In front of these colorful plant meats, Jiang Hua has many wonderful ideas, and her creativity is much more interesting than Lin Zeng's.
"You see, this carnivorous plant, a single leaf is almost eighty centimeters, if you cut it thinly, you can make a meat slice rice wrap, it must be more delicious than seaweed rice. ”
"This one is skewered directly on a bamboo skewer and grilled to give it a try. ”
"This should be a good choice for sweet and sour tenderloin."
When they walked around in front of each plant, the eco-friendly shopping bag they brought was already full.
Lin Zeng put these plant meats into the No. 2 space of the secret realm where the items were stored, and watered the solution of fertilizer and water trivino again on these carnivorous plants.
With this plant-based meat plantation, Jiang Hua and Lin Zeng's daily diet is rich again.
In the past, they could only rely on Liu Shan to send pigs, cattle and mutton raised with fairy grass from their hometown in fresh meat bubbles, but now, if they want to eat it, they can drive to the abandoned quarry to pick it at any time.
They have collected some ingredients from each carnivorous plant, ready to try, how to process and cook it will be more delicious.
"I also planted a few trees for my mother-in-law, so she didn't have to find someone to help buy meat. Lin Zeng drove the bumpy small electric car, turned his head and said to Jiang Hua.
In fact, in addition to Sandao's mother-in-law, Lin Zeng also sent some seeds of carnivorous plants to the Qinghe City Welfare Institute where Pan Ruoming used to be.
Lin Zeng always remembered his promise to Pan Ruoming, if there was a plant that could improve the quality of life of the children in the welfare home, he would send a copy to the past.
Today, the lives of the children in the orphanage have changed dramatically. Fresh vegetables, dairy products, poultry eggs, and seafood are grown and raised by themselves, and they are largely self-sufficient.
After a while, the carnivorous plants given to them will grow, and they will be able to eat three meals a day.
"Let's go, let's go, let's go home! Go home and eat meat!" Jiang Hua sat behind Lin Zeng, wrapped his arms around his waist, and cheered excitedly.
