(If you want to hear more of your voices and receive more of your suggestions, search for the WeChat public account "qdread" now and pay attention to it to give more support to "Mu Tong Cheng Shen Ji"!) Because of its proximity to the tribe, the children of the tribe often come here to pick them, and even if there are any fresh wild vegetables, most of them are picked by the young children.
Dorjee took Mu Tong around the grove, and only found three or two wild vegetables that had been left behind by his partners.
Mu Tong took a look at the wild vegetables picked by Duoji, and the palm-shaped leaves were as thin as paper, and they looked like Houttuynia cordata. I picked a leaf and tasted it, and sure enough, it had its characteristic fishy smell.
Mu Tong came out with a knife and began to dig up where Dorjee was picking Houttuynia cordata.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?" Dorjee looked at Mu Tong strangely, these wild vegetables eat leaves, how can my sister-in-law dig up the roots?
Mu Tong didn't say much, and when she dug it up, she didn't know if this was the same as Houttuynia cordata on the earth, which was mainly based on eating tender white roots. Of course, young leaves can also be eaten. Houttuynia cordata is also called the root of the ear, and the cold salad of the root of the ear is a traditional delicacy of the people.
Digging up a large pile of soil, I brought out a large area of tender white roots: sure enough, it was Houttuynia cordata!
Mu Tong took a tender root and put it in his mouth, savoring the taste of it: unexpectedly, he finally found a plant he was familiar with, even if it was this kind of wild vegetable-like Houttuynia cordata, Mu Tong couldn't help but cry.
"Sister-in-law, it's okay, there aren't many wild vegetables here, tomorrow we go to the farther forest, and we will definitely pick a lot of wild vegetables." Dorjee thought that Mu Tong didn't find wild vegetables, so he was about to cry: looking at his sister-in-law's two eyes, they were red, and there was a possibility of tears at any time.
Mu Tong's eyes were moist, not because he didn't find wild vegetables, but because he found the familiar taste of his hometown. Hearing Dorjee's clumsy comfort, Mu Tong smiled: This little cub is tall and big, and his heart is still as pure and kind as a child.
"It's called Houttuynia cordata, and it's also called the root of the ear. Not only its leaves are edible, but so are its roots. Mu Tong raised the root of Houttuynia cordata in his hand and said, "However, it is delicious to find this kind of white and tender one." ”
The young leaves of Houttuynia cordata in this forest have been almost harvested, and only these roots and old leaves buried in the ground remain.
"Can you eat this?" Dorjee was stunned: If this can be eaten, then there will be no food for dinner today.
"Of course, come on." Mu Tong dug up a large piece of soil again: "Pick out these tender roots." ”
Under Mu Tong's guidance, Dorjee soon knew what kind of root was a tender root. Both of them moved quickly, and after a while, the two pieces of soil that were dug out were picked cleanly.
Seeing Dorjee looking at the knife in her hand with envious eyes, Mu Tong handed the knife to Dorjee's hand: "Give it to you." "This is the knife she refined with the refining technique, although it is a low-level magic weapon, what can be cut, but it is much stronger than the knife on the earth.
This kind of knife was the finished product of her first refining, and it was not in good condition, so she threw it in the earrings and didn't care about it. There are a lot of knives like this in her earrings.
He found a scabbard, found a thin rattan, and tied it around his waist, so that Dorjee's knife could be carried with him in the future. Dorjee happily touched the scabbard and knife: This was given to him by his sister-in-law! He had been coveting this knife for a long time, especially when he saw that it could easily cut through tough rattans, much sharper than the stone knives in the tribe. However, his sister-in-law gave him the knife, so what did his sister-in-law use?
"What else do I have here?" Seeing Mu Tong take out another knife of about the same size and shape, Dorjee was startled: Where did Sister-in-law take it out, why didn't I see it?
"I am a messenger of God! The messengers of God, of course, have special places to put things. In this way, others will not be able to take away what belongs to me. Mu Tong saw Dorjee's surprised look and decided to make an excuse. Anyway, the people in the tribe call her the messenger of the gods, and since she is the messenger of the gods, it is normal to have some unbelievable means.
Sure enough, hearing Mu Tong's explanation, Dorjee was relieved: Yes, my sister-in-law is a messenger of God, and it is certain that there is such a magical means!
"But it's a secret for both of us, don't tell anyone about it." Mu Tong instructed Dorjee: Even if the chief and the wizard ask, they can't say it casually. The Celestial God doesn't like to let others know too many of his secrets.
As soon as the gods were mentioned, Dorjee naturally believed it. Nodding, Dorjee asked again, "Can you talk to Brother?" "Brother is a family, I guess I can say it, right?
Mu Tong also nodded: If Ah Yu will become Shen Kai sooner or later, it will be nothing to talk to him. With Shen Kai's cleverness, he can guess some without saying it, right?
Dorjee got a knife and excitedly began to dig into the soil at the root of Houttuynia cordata, and within two or three clicks, he dug a large area.
"Okay, let's pick these young roots first and then dig them up." Mu Tong saw that Dorjee had dug up sex, looking like a big child, and he also sighed: It's better to be a child, simple-minded and coaxing......
Mu Tong picked out the root of Houttuynia cordata, threw half of it into the back basket, and half of it was still put into the ring. Fortunately, the Duoji boy was still excitedly picking at the root of his ears, and he didn't pay attention to Mu Tong at all. Even if he saw it, he would probably think: Sister-in-law must have received these wild vegetables to the place where she put her things, right?
There are not a lot of houttuynia in this piece, and after the two of them finished digging, they only received a small half basket each. However, these dishes are enough for dinner.
Hey? There's kraft over there too? Mu Tong's sharp eyes saw that not far from this piece of houttuynia cordata, a few kraft plants about one meter tall were standing there and immediately ran over.
"Sister-in-law, what's that? Can you eat it too? ”
"That's right, it's called kraft cabbage, and it's delicious when cooked." Mu Tong cut down five kraft vegetables in a few clicks, this kraft vegetables grew really big, one plant was more than one meter high and nearly twenty catties, Dorjee and her back basket, one could not be put down. The remaining three were put into the ring. It can keep it fresh in the ring, which is better than putting it outside.
Thinking about eating kraft vegetables, they are usually cooked and then mixed cold, or fried again, Mu Tong took out a dried chili pepper and a dried pepper for Dorjee to taste: "Are there any plants with these two flavors nearby, the kind that eats immortal?" ”
Dorjee ate the dried chili pepper in the first bite, and it was so spicy that he exhaled, and the latter bite was stuffed into the pepper by Mu Tong, and now his mouth was numb: "...... Sizzle......"
Seeing that Dorjee was uncomfortable, Mu Tong immediately took out a piece of candy and stuffed it into his mouth, she just wanted to find some shortcuts, and didn't want to identify each plant, and forgot to think about whether Dorjee was suitable for these two special tastes......
cough, with embarrassed and guilty eyes, Mu Tong looked at Dorjee carefully: "Are you still uncomfortable?" ”
"It's not uncomfortable." Dorjee licked his lips: What did Sister-in-law feed him later? It's so delicious!
Looking at Dorjee's eyes of another one, Mu Tong took out a few toffees on his body, and handed them to Dorjee: "This is the sugar from my hometown, sweet and delicious." "Children love sweets, and Dorjee is no exception, not to mention that he has never eaten such sweets.
