Chapter 134 [King of Vegetables]

"The place where I have been poisoned now is so painful and itchy that I can't reach for it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info So you have to take a little emergency and treat yourself. ”

Looking at his surroundings, he said, "This is a low-lying waterhole left behind after the rainy season floods. ”

"Elephants spotted it and tore down nearby trees to make way for it. In such a dense jungle, every plant is competing for living space, and only the size of an elephant can carve out such an open space for them to rest, recreation, drink, and even mating and dating. ”

There are many elephant footprints and dung nearby, and even jungle elephants trampled on the elephant path in the mountains and forests on the other side.

The audience is still looking forward to seeing the elephant, and they all watch it with relish, but his mind is no longer here.

I wanted to rehydrate some, but it was a stagnant water, and he didn't fill it with water just to be on the safe side. After washing his face and taking a shower, he followed the elephant path into the jungle on the other side and said, "Under normal circumstances, you can't walk in the footsteps of elephants. ”

"They're the largest creatures on land, but don't be fooled by the docile elephants in zoos or circuses. ”

"In fact, I'd rather encounter a cheetah than an elephant. If the elephant starts to go wild in the jungle, it will really kill people. Shaking his head, "There are no animals in this jungle that want to provoke them...... Except for the poachers!"

What he said was scary, but he got into it without hesitation.

I kept looking for something along the way, and soon I got a harvest, "Found it, voila: this is the Dracaena Tree!"

The reason for this quick harvest is that it is one of the most abundant primary rainforests in the world. As long as you know how to survive, at least you won't starve.

"Dracaena?"

"Could it be a tree that grows on dragon's blood? ”

"I'm afraid the dog will be stunned by the sting. ”

The water friend questioned, but Chen Ergou was very happy.

One foot crossed the elephant path, crossed the thorn forest, and stopped in front of a low, thin-stemmed, band-leaf shrub.

Pulling out the jungle knife, he began to cut the bark and said, "If you are injured in the jungle and there is a tree that can heal you, it is this dracaena that I am looking for." It is distinguished by heart-shaped leaves and a smooth trunk. This tree is the dragon's blood of the local population, and it is called dragon's blood because it should be the sap present, red. ”

There are two types of dracaena trees, one is an arbor with a trunk and flattened leathery leaves, which usually grows in arid semi-desert areas. The other type is shrubs, which generally grow in tropical rainforests and are also cultivated as ornamental plants in China.

"Before I set out, I was told to look for this kind of tree in case of injury, its sap is bactericidal and curative, you see, as soon as you cut out the gap, it starts to ooze blood-red sap, and any wound can be coated with some. ”

He took a little red sap and stirred it in the palm of his hand, like a skin lotion, and soon it turned into a white paste. Then carefully apply the stinger on the arm, back, and neck.

"It's very cool, a bit like soap, it has a good curative effect, and it can kill viruses and bacteria, and if it bleeds, it can also help the wound stop bleeding, it's really a good tree." Almost immediately, I felt the itch subside and it made me feel much more relaxed. Because along the way, I almost couldn't help but go fishing several times. ”

The smile was back on his face, and his expression was much lighter.

He hadn't eaten anything until now.

Calculating the time, he should have already had dinner in China, and his stomach began to make noise, holding his belly and saying: "This start is really unfriendly, I have consumed too much energy along the way, it's time to find something to eat." Have you all had dinner?"

Some viewers were watching his live broadcast with their rice bowls, and irresponsibly began to poison: "I'm eating pig's trotter rice, Master Dog, hurry up and find something to eat." "The vinegar fish bones in West Lake are so hard to vomit. "Dongpo Meat's Saying. "Dog Master brand flying dragon soup, the taste is not good. ", "Said that you are eating Shih Tzu tongue, concubine chicken, Zhaojun duck, Diao Chan tofu", "You are all low, I am eating the palace banquet Buddha jumping over the wall!", "It's so not low-key, I'm eating the full banquet of the Han Dynasty, did I say anything, I don't say it. ”……

Chen Ergou drooled greedily and said with a wry smile: "Is this a revenge for you?" ”

"If you lose, you don't lose the battle, you must eat better. Because as long as I'm in this jungle, I'll never run out of food. Don't be hungry when I'm about to eat. ”

"Hahaha, just come on. "It's a rare opportunity to have an anti-drug dog master, and they have a lot of fun.

Chen Ergou is not talking big, because some dried fruits can really be seen everywhere in the Congo jungle.

Especially along the elephant road, the elephant carves a road in such a place, and it is not the strength to vent everywhere. They are also looking for food, bananas, leaves, bark, fruits are all on their recipes. Generally walking along the elephant road, you will always find something that elephants like to eat.

As long as you look for it carefully, you will soon find it.

Like a palm tree not far away, much more delicate than what he saw in the desert, he instantly smiled and said, "Audience friends, I also found something delicious." And voila: a Oak Ente palm tree!"

What is so unusual about palm trees, the audience said that they are not uncommon in the oases of the Sahara Desert, and they didn't see him eat at that time. "Hungry, aren't you?"

Strangely, Chen Ergou had already cut down this palm tree with a knife. After peeling off the outer skin, a white palm core is revealed.

"It's pretty much the same, at least it looks like food. The sailors smacked their lips, and they expressed their disenvy when they had just eaten a full meal.

is worthy of being a big foodie, when it comes to food, Chen Ergou is a little gushing, and said with a smile: "Some friends who like to eat will definitely not be unfamiliar, the core of the palm tree is known as the king of vegetables." ”

"Among the world's top restaurants, the most exclusive vegetable is the 'Monopoly Salad' made with palm cores. Palm cores are also used in many of the French cuisine, which the French are proud of.

Let me taste it first......"

After chewing and tasting it carefully, his eyes lit up instantly, and he nodded and praised: "The taste is not bad, it is crisp and sweet, especially when I have not eaten for so long after I have been busy for so long, it can help me supplement a lot of nutrients." ”

After a few more bites, he ate the whole piece of palm core, "but the part near the rhizome is slightly bitter." The whole texture is very firm, and the chew in the mouth does not feel like chewing vegetables and fruits, like a protein lump with a sweet taste...... Sort of, the feeling of raw chestnut meat. ”

"But I think that in addition to taste, the reason why it is known as the king of vegetables is more due to nutrition and scarcity:

It is a natural sugar-free food that is completely free of any fat and cholesterol. It is a rare product for customers who suffer from high blood pressure, high blood sugar, or want to control their weight and stay healthy. ”

"Palm cores can also be used as a dietary therapy, as well as for salads and appetizers. It can be eaten as a fruit, but it can also be used to cook hot dishes, such as as meat and soups. So, as a chef, it's rare to find the king of vegetables, and I'm not going to give it up. I decided to collect some of the heart's parts and take them with me, maybe I could use them. ”

After a few knives, he had already cut off three young plants, and he took the palm core and continued on the road.

It didn't go far before there was a new discovery, a wild cassava forest, "In the Congo, cassava is basically their main meal." They often mash cassava and knead the dough into a dough to eat. ”

There are many cassavas, and there is no shortage of them in China, and water friends say they are not envious.

Chen Ergou didn't take much, so he dug up a piece of good quality and took it away.
