After controlling the gas damage of Yellow Havana a bit, the two of them were finally able to work normally.

Scooping water into a bamboo bowl again, until the turtle shell was full, and even water overflowed, the two began to dip all the turtle meat in the water, then packed it with banana leaves, and finally put it in the turtle shell after washing in the creek, and stuffed it into Liu Danqing's parachute bag.

Now is not the time to cook the Leaf Turtle, the two of them are ready to continue on their journey, and wait until four or five o'clock in the afternoon to cook and build a shelter.

"Weiwei, look around carefully, and when you see a plant with a suspicious spice, you will inform me that now that we have turtle meat, we need more spice. ”

Xiao Weiwei, who was left behind, asked suspiciously: "What seasoning is here?"

Liu Danqing replied while opening the way: "South America is the place with the most spices in the world, and the Amazon basin is the most of them, cinnamon, bay leaves, pepper, nutmeg, grass fruit, star anise, fennel, turmeric, etc., etc., as for the appearance of seasoning, you can call me when you see seeds or fruits, as for the rest, eh?"

"Let it be!"

Xiao Weiwei listened to Liu Danqing's answer and simply replied, "Oh!"

Then began Liu Danqing's painful journey.

"Qingqing, is this a seasoning?"

"Qingqing, this one looks a bit similar, come and see!"

"Qingqing, there are a lot of small fruits on the tree over there, go and see, is it a seasoning?"

As a result, I saw dozens of kinds, but none of them were seasonings that Liu Danqing knew.

Xiao Weiwei said about this result: "Qingqing, you can't do it, I finally found so much, most of them don't know, what about your knowledge points?"

Well, Comrade Liu Danqing said that he lost.

"Weiwei, don't rush the seasoning matter first, let's continue to hurry, strive to walk more, and then set up camp early. ”

Sometimes, that's how amazing things are!

If you don't go, you can look for it, but Liu Danqing has a new harvest.

The first is a fruit tree covered with orange-like green fruits.

Liu Danqing walked over and picked one off, and found that the skin of this thing was very rough and hard when pinched, so he carefully peeled it off.

The green skin is thick, but when peeled off, the orange flesh inside is revealed, and it has a sweet and sour fragrance.

"Brazilian citrus, nice stuff, just right for marinating turtle meat. ”

Liu Danqing put down the citrus in his hand, untied the umbrella bag, took out the turtle meat, and began to squeeze the citrus juice on it.

Xiao Weiwei, who was in the back, had already picked a citrus at this time, opened it, broke a petal of orange flesh and put it in her mouth.

"Hmm..... so sour and astringent, ahh

When the orange flesh was entered, Xiao Weiwei's little face immediately wrinkled, looking similar to the orange peel she threw on the ground.

Liu Danqing, who was squatting on the ground squeezing orange juice, heard Xiao Weiwei's cry and laughed.

"Weiwei, this is wild ungrafted citrus, maybe it's still a native species, how can it be as sweet as what we usually eat, and these citrus are not ripe, even more sour. ”

"In Europe and South America, citrus used to be used more as a spice, but then after grafting and optimizing varieties, we have the variety of oranges, mandarins, grapefruits, and oranges that we eat today. ”

"Bah, bah, bah!" Xiao Weiwei said depressedly while spitting out the citrus residue in her mouth: "Brazilian oranges are delicious, I like to eat them the most, I didn't expect this to be so sour, Qingqing, blame you, say they are Brazilian oranges." ”

Liu Danqing said with an innocent face: "Audience friends testify, I am talking about Brazilian citrus, referring to the plants of the genus Citrus in the Rutaceae family produced in Brazil, not Brazil oranges! ”

"Bang!"

Liu Danqing's answer drew a physical attack from Xiao Weiwei, and a Brazilian citrus flew out of her small hand and smashed into Liu Danqing's ass.

"I tell you to always don't talk to people, I tell you to always chew words, Brazilian citrus, Brazilian mandarin, is there a big difference?" Xiao Weiwei roared at Liu Danqing.

Comrade Liu Danqing finally relented and realized the truth again: Don't reason with women.

Squeezing the juice of five Brazilian citrus into the turtle meat, Liu Danqing used the turtle shell as a basin, turned it a few times, and stirred them well.

Putting the turtle shell down, Liu Danqing continued to pick citrus.

"Weiwei, we pick a little more Brazilian citrus as a seasoning reserve, their role is actually similar to lemons, can remove the smell and freshness, we pick a little greener, a little smaller, the content of citric acid is relatively high. ”

"In fact, the sugar content in these citrus is not low, but it is masked by the sour and astringent taste, and the same is true for lemons, which is one of the important reasons why they can improve their freshness. ”

The two of them picked more than two dozen small citrus oranges, and slowly stuffed the gap in the tool bag on Xiao Weiwei's back.

It is also a loss that the sweatshirt bought by Liu Danqing is of very good quality, otherwise it would have been a strike.

More than 20 Brazilian citrus, although they are all small, are smaller than fists, and they add up to four or five pounds.

After filtering out some water from the turtle meat, Liu Danqing continued to pack it on his back and hurried along the stream.

Not long after they walked, they met a new animal.

The Amazon sloth was hanging on a branch seven or eight meters above the ground in front of them, and when they heard the sound of Liu Danqing chopping vines, they slowly turned their heads.

Just such a head-turning job, it used fun for nearly ten seconds, and calling it a sloth really didn't insult it.

Although its movements were small, Xiao Weiwei, who had excellent eyes, still spotted this lazy guy hiding among the leaves.

"Qingqing, look, the sloth, its movements are so slow, really slow, the sloths in "Zootopia" move so slowly, it turns out to be true. ”

Liu Danqing and Xiao San looked towards the sloth together, this guy had seen it in the zoo before, and now he saw a wild sloth.

But it doesn't matter if the sloth is wild or not, anyway, everyone is the same lazy, it doesn't matter what wildness it is.

Liu Danqing looked at the sloth and said with a smile: "This guy is the idol of many people, typical of eating and sleeping, eating and eating, carefree and carefree." ”

Xiao Weiwei looked at the slow movement of the sloth, and wondered: "Why hasn't this kind of guy been exterminated to this day? ”

Liu Danqing looked at the sloth and explained: "This guy's biggest protection measure is to evolve his meat to be very unpalatable, and secondly, its claws are very sharp, which makes many animals, including jaguars, jaguars, tiger cats and other fierce beasts, unless they are hungry, they will not risk being scratched to hunt sloths that are difficult to eat." ”

"So their biggest predators are humans, whose destruction of forests has made their habitat smaller, followed by pythons, including but not limited to forest pythons and reticulated pythons, which can swallow whole regardless of the taste of food. ”

Liu Danqing said a lot, and Xiao Weiwei only paid attention to one of them.

"So, their meat doesn't taste good?"

"That's right!" Liu Danqing nodded and said, "You see that there is a place in the world that eats sloths, and they don't want to eat it." ”

"Okay!" Xiao Weiwei said to the sloth: "You are ruthless, in order not to give it to others, you actually have an evolutionary route to make your meat unpalatable, let you go." ”

Along the way to explore the evolution of this animal, the two continued to hurry, and there were no new discoveries on the rest of the way, so the speed of the two was quite fast.

"Listen!" Liu Danqing, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and said to Xiao Weiwei, who was catching up: "The sound of water, there is the sound of water, it seems that the front is the confluence point of this stream, I don't know how big it is." ”

After speaking, the two continued to walk forward for more than a hundred meters, and they saw a stream more than four meters wide appear in front of them.

This was the end of the creek they followed, and the water in the stream flowed into the stream and flowed towards the lower ground.

Liu Danqing pointed to the stream and said: "Look, compared to the creek, this stream does not have much breakthrough in width, and the widest part of the creek is four or five meters, but the flow speed of the water is not a little faster, let's test it." ”

He plucked a leaf and threw it into the stream, only to see that the leaf fell into the seemingly calm water, and immediately floated down at a rapid speed, and soon disappeared into the bend in front of him.

He took the snake staff in Xiao Weiwei's hand again, stretched it out to the bottom of the water and tested the depth.

The three-meter-long snake staff was extended into the water, but what remained on the surface of the water was only one and a half meters.

"The speed of the water is about half a meter per second, and the depth of the water is about one and a half meters, and if this situation can be maintained all the time, the stream can already be used on bamboo rafts. ”

"Weiwei, let's take a little rest, drink some water, and then continue walking downstream for a while, see how it goes, and walk again, well, in about an hour, we're going to set up camp. ”

"Okay. ”

Xiao Weiwei nodded, found a place to sit down, picked up the bamboo kettle, opened the lid and took a sip of water, then let out a long breath and said, "It's hot!"

"Well, it's hot, it's very hot in this place, we're fine by the river, the current will move the air on the water's surface, and it's even more uncomfortable in the woods, not much different from a steamer. ”

While echoing Xiao Weiwei's words, Liu Danqing stretched out his right hand towards her and said, "Weiwei, give me a citrus!"

Xiao Weiwei took out a citrus from the package and handed it to Liu Danqing, and asked, "What do you want citrus for, are you going to eat it?"

Liu Danqing didn't answer her question, took the citrus, made a small sip on it, and then squeezed two drops of citrus juice into his kettle.

Putting the citrus in the crook of his leg, he picked up the bamboo tube and shook it, then took a sip.

"Cool! sour, thirst-quenching and refreshing, you can also come a little!"

Xiao Weiwei turned out to be citrus, and it was applied in the same way, and sure enough, it was sweet and sour in one bite, a bit like lemonade, but a little more bitter, and at the same time, a little more sweet.

"It's delicious, it's still our family is clear and smart, give you a thumbs up!"
