Chapter Seventy-Three: Cassava and Character
As we go deeper, smaller ponds have begun to appear, which are reservoirs, which are shaded by trees and have a slower evaporation rate that can be maintained for a longer period of time, and are also a source of fresh water for the flora and fauna of the area.
Liu Danqing observed the first two small pools and could vaguely see that there were small fish and shrimp inside, but because the water was relatively deep, it was inconvenient to catch, so he gave up and continued to move forward.
"Hey, friends, I found starch, it looks like there's a lot of it, good luck has come. ”
Liu Danqing suddenly stopped, turned to the three of them and said with a smile.
Fan Bingbing was stunned when he heard this: "Starch, where is the starch? There is still starch in this jungle?"
Li Daniu also looked at Liu Danqing in a daze.
Xiao Weiwei was closest to Liu Danqing, and directly grabbed Liu Danqing's waist with a single move.
"Speak human words!"
Liu Danqing bared his teeth and shouted: "Pain, pain, pain! Slightly, you light, let go, take a closer look, I introduced it to you last time." ”
Xiao Weiwei let go of Liu Danqing and looked ahead carefully.
"What starch, huh, red branches and green leaves, is it cassava?"
Liu Danqing nodded and said with satisfaction: "Yes, I haven't returned the knowledge to me like returning the teacher, those are cassava, and the first thing to do now is to pray, hoping that nature can give us some cassava tubers." ”
Fan Bingbing heard the conversation between the two and asked curiously, "What is cassava, is it a sweet potato?"
Liu Danqing naturally took the opportunity to open the Qingye lecture hall, and explained while walking.
"Cassava, also known as South Sea potato, sweet potato, and cassava, is mainly found in the tropics, and it is said that the first people to artificially grow cassava were the Mayans. The starch content in cassava is very high, which is similar to the starch king potato we often eat, but cassava also has the advantage of being high in calories and low in fat, making it the perfect food to keep in shape.
"Cassava trees can grow up to five meters high, but generally wild ones don't grow that tall, about two meters, and the mantra to distinguish cassava is red branches and green leaves, you see that the stalks of cassava are green, but the branches that stick out are all red, and its leaves are all green, so it is very easy to identify. ”
"When it comes to digging cassava, we don't have the right tools, so let me make a few judges' orders for everyone to use. ”
Liu Danqing first went to the grove next to him, found a small tree and cut it down, sawed off two sections of wood more than 20 centimeters long with a saw, and used a dagger and a wooden stick to split out four wooden planks about 25 centimeters long, six or seven centimeters wide, and 1 centimeter thick.
The two corners of the plank were cut off at one end and cut into one tip at an angle of about sixty degrees, and the other end was cut into a handle, and the judge's order was made.
Fan Bingbing took it and played with it, and said: "This is the judge's order, it's quite vivid, and it's quite similar to the judge's order in the martial arts movies I watched when I was a child." ”
Xiao Weiwei said disappointedly: "I don't feel very similar, Di Renjie's judgment order is not like this." ”
Okay, this pesticide girl will recognize Di Renjie's three judges' orders.
Liu Danqing quickly cut four judges' orders, issued one by one, walked to the cassava tree, and dug it up.
Don't be unaware, I'm startled, this judge's order looks inconspicuous, and it's really easy to dig up the soil, even Fan Bingbing, a "weak woman", can easily dig up pieces of damp soil with sand and gravel.
Giving Liu Danqing a thumbs up, Li Daniu admired and said: "Master Qing, in the wild, you are this! Details determine success or failure, I originally wanted to pick up the soil with my hands, but I didn't expect this judge's order to be so powerful, and it was not difficult to dig it up at all." ”
Fan Bingbing also complimented: "Master Qing, you are amazing, this can be regarded as an invention of a tool." Sure enough, the biggest difference between humans and animals is the ability to make, use, and select tools. ”
is worthy of being a die-hard fan of the wilderness survival couple, and even this stalk can be recited.
Xiao Weiwei originally wanted to praise Liu Danqing, but she didn't expect Fan Bingbing to expose her black history at this time, and she looked inexplicably desperate, opened her mouth, and closed it weakly.
"Alas, what about the desert island sisters, why should women be embarrassed by women!"
Digging cassava, what is the most important thing?
Technique is important, but not the most important;
Physical strength is important, but it is not the most important;
Speed is important, but it's not the most important thing.
The most important thing is luck! luck! luck! luck!
Say the important thing three times.
The most important thing must be said five times.
Liu Danqing ranks first in skill, physical strength, and speed among the four, so the pit he dug is the largest and deepest among the four.
And then the egg!
He found only countless tapiosava roots, but no tubers except roots.
Fan Bingbing is the worst of the first three of the four, but!
She has the fourth strongest item, which is luck.
So she was the first to cheer.
"Wow, wow, wow, come and see, come and see, Qing Ye, is this cassava, it's so thick! I'll dig and dig again, it's so long! It's so thick and long!"
It seems that the second half of the sentence is very ambiguous, at least Li Daniu looked at Fan Bingbing with inexplicable eyes, looking demented.
Liu Danqing hurriedly stood up, ran to Fan Bingbing's side, and looked at the beauty's catch.
"Wow, Sister Bingbing, you're too good, this is really a giant in cassava, just this one, you can't afford two catties." ”
Therefore, it is said that "the blessed do not need to be busy, and the unblessed run to break their bowels".
It was a cassava as thick as an adult's arm, more than 30 centimeters.
If it is cultivated artificially, then this cassava is very common and not even large.
But this is a desert island, and these cassavas are pure wild, just like lemons grow smaller than ping-pong balls, and cassava is generally not large.
But Fan Ye's luck was stunned to let such a big cassava appear in front of them.
Xiao Weiwei and Li Daniu also put down their work at this time and came over to see the strangeness.
"Wow! Cassava looks like this, it looks like a potato, it's delicious. ”
This is Xiao Weiwei's feeling, which is always related to whether it is delicious or not.
Li Daniu was also surprised, and the cow's mouth opened widely: "It's really big, I didn't expect there to be such a big fruit under such a thin tree." ”
Xiao San also lost no time in giving a close-up of cassava, so that the audience could see clearly that under the comparison of Fan Ye's small hands, cassava looked extraordinarily large.
"Beautiful mood to Danqing and Weiwei a fighter - the first person to survive on the desert island turned out to be a soldier sister, big cow, you can eat cork cassava with peace of mind. ”
"Always love the soldiers, give Danqing and Weiwei an early warning plane - the soldiers are really the most powerful master! ”
"Sisters, I just gave Danqing and Weiwei a spaceship - Brother Niu, Xiongqi! Don't be funny and responsible!"
"Twilight of the Sky gave Danqing and Weiwei a spaceship - I also want to go to a desert island!"
I have to say that Fan Ye's appeal is really strong, just such a cassava worth up to ten Chinese coins actually made the screen in the live broadcast room full of airplanes and spaceships.
Liu Danqing helped Fan Bingbing take the cassava out of the pit, and then dragged a cassava rhizome connected to the cassava.
Liu Danqing was also taken aback, and sighed: "Fan Ye's luck is also invincible, everyone see, it's another piece of cassava, is this lesson cassava to catch up with the output of artificially cultivated cassava?"
The other three were still studying the newly unearthed cassava, but when they heard Liu Danqing's sigh, they put down the cassava and came over to take a look, and Fan Bingbing cheered even more, holding her judge's order, and continued to dig.
As more and more of the cassava was revealed, it was even larger than the one just now.
The three of them glanced at each other and silently returned to their excavation site, really burying their heads in hard work.
In the end, the four of them obtained two large, three small and five cassava, of which two large and one small were obtained by Fan Ye, and two small were obtained by Xiao Weiwei, and the pit dug by Liu Danqing and Li Daniu was the largest and deepest, but there was no harvest.
Character! Luck! Two women beat two men.
