Chapter 138: Salt Claw

It is a sand-fixing plant that grows on sandy ground, and because of its well-developed root system, it can reach an aquifer of 4-5 meters or less at the deepest, so it can survive in the harsh desert.

It's just that nowadays, due to the climate, humans and animal grazing, there are fewer and fewer wild Saxons.

The Suosuo forest that Cai Hongming went to was not a place they had been to before, but a different one. This forest is relatively small, but it is also close to the farm, which is why they chose this place.

It was already noon, and when they arrived at the place, they began to prepare the food for lunch. At this time, Liu Chong's car finally came in handy, with some food and drink on it, and everyone helped to move things down. Cai Hongming found a hard patch not far from Suosuolin, began to dig a pit on it, and then went to a place where there was soil to dig some soil and came back to build an earthen kiln.

Qingyun, Xin Jinrou, and Fan Fan have never seen this thing, and they suddenly came over to look at it in a novelty, and picked up their mobile phones to take pictures.

Cai Hongming was annoyed by the stinky posing and taking pictures of them one by one, but he had no choice but to endure it. For the first time in his life, he felt very aggrieved.

After setting up the earthen kiln, he went to the dead Suosuo tree and collected some firewood, and when he came back, he began to burn the earth. When the soil is red, you can put it down and simmer the food with red-hot clods and charcoal embers. Seeing that he was having fun lighting the fire, Qingyun was not a bit reserved as a lady at all, and volunteered to help light the fire. Cai Hongming was happy to have someone to help, so he gave her this great task.

But she didn't burn the fire well, and from time to time she picked up firewood and gestured, and asked Xin Jinrou next to her to take photos of her. She was also willing to paint her face black with charcoal ash, planning to go back and show off with her good friends.

Actually, she didn't burn a few fires at all.

Fan Fan and Jing Jing next to him looked envious, and called sweetly Sister Sister We want to burn it too.

So, Qingyun took the two little children to light the fire together. You have a piece of firewood. I stuffed a piece of firewood into the earthen kiln, and the earthen kiln was full at once, and it was not airy, making it smoky. It doesn't matter. But he didn't want Qingyun to cough after choking on the smoke, so he picked up the firewood in his hand and waved away the smoke. The firewood was just above the earthen kiln. With a "bang", the earthen kiln that Cai Hongming had finally set up collapsed.

Cai Hongming originally thought that he could sit next to him with his legs crossed and drink tea and direct a few beauties of all sizes to light the fire, but he didn't expect the earthen kiln to collapse like this. That helplessness is really poured into the water of the heavenly river and can't be filled.

"Go and go."

Cai Hongming irritably drove away a few guys who were just having fun and rebuilt the earthen kiln.

Qingyun and the others knew that they were wrong, stuck out their tongues, and ran to the side. Suddenly. Qingyun saw Liu Chong and others digging Cistanche in the Suosuo forest again, and immediately surrounded them curiously. After a while, several women, large and small, gathered around them and began to dig Cistanche. Fortunately, digging is easy, otherwise they wouldn't know what moths would have grown.

After re-erecturing the earthen kiln and burning the soil on the kiln red, Cai Hongming dug a hole in the earthen kiln and began to put things inside.

Qingyun and Fan Fan, Jing Jing two little children watched. Ran over again.

Cai Hongming drove them aside in disgust, so as not to cause trouble. Qingyun raised his eyebrows. The forked waist was about to reason with him, but was pulled by Xin Jinrou behind her, otherwise she would definitely have to talk to him. We Kyoto people may have no other skills, but we must be able to chatter, and you can make your mind smoke.

Cai Hongming first put some sweet potatoes, then some corn and eggs.

Then. That's what happened. It was a few fish, two chickens, and salt-clawed paws from the poplar forest on the road, all wrapped in tin foil and put inside.

Salt claw is a halophytic semi-shrub that grows mainly on salty sandy soils. Grows well in the desert. But at this time, like most plants in the desert, the saltclaw claw begins to change color, turning from green to red, and then withering and yellow when it gets colder. Cai Hongming: The ones they picked were red salt claws, and the colors were very bright.

After putting everything down, he began to break up the red-hot soil from the kiln, covering the ingredients one by one, and then covering it with a thick layer of sand so that it would not breathe.

After he and a few people finished the kiln, there was a burst of aroma wafting next to him.

After Liu Zhong and others dug up the cistanche, they took a few out and stewed a pot of pork ribs and cistanche, the stove is a gas stove, it is convenient to have a car, and you can bring anything. Everyone is a pot-bellied man, so I cooked another pot of noodles, haggis. Not only that, but the guy who came with him also took out the grill he brought from the car and roasted a cleaned sheep on the rack. After a while, there was a burst of fragrance wafting from the little sheep's body, and the greedy mouth was watering. Someone found a clump of white thorns not far away, and picked a bunch of white thorn fruits, some yellow, some red, and some purple and black.

Cai Hongming beckoned everyone to eat together, and he quickly picked a handful of purple and black white thorn fruit and put it in his mouth.

The white thorn fruit is sweet and sour, but it must be red and purple, and the purple black is delicious, it is the sweetest, and the others are difficult to swallow at all.

Qingyun and these women didn't know about this stubble, and stupidly picked those fruits that looked red and gorgeous, but when they put them in their mouths and chewed them, their whole faces were tangled. It's not just her, it's all fan, it's quiet. They are doing the same. Fortunately, Xin Jin's soft and quiet, fanning mother hasn't eaten yet, otherwise I don't know what the expression is.

Seeing Qingyun's tangled face, Cai Hongming laughed very unconscionably next to him.

Qingyun felt that her sour teeth were about to fall out, and she was touching her cheeks, seeing Cai Hongming laughing over there, she suddenly kicked it angrily.

Cai Hongming flashed, and Qingyun continued to kick unrelentingly. Cai Hongming hurriedly ran. The two of them went around in circles, you chased me and ran around, until Cai Hongming said that the thing was good, and Qingyun was unwilling to stop.

There is no need for Cai Hongming to do this kind of thing by himself, and he has Luo Liansheng, a young man who has nothing to do. Luo Liansheng gently took a shovel to remove the sand and dust from the earthen kiln, then picked up a branch, slowly brushed away the soil below, and dug out the contents inside.

The first to come out was the chicken, which was stuffed with salt-clawed paws.

The salty flavor of the salt claws is soaked into the chicken, and the chicken is delicious without any seasoning, and the juice left over from the stewed chicken can be used as a sauce.

Next are fish, eggs, corn, sweet potatoes and other things, put on a simple folding table next to the car, plus roasted mutton, prepared noodles, and stewed pork rib soup with cistanche, and the table is full.

The fragrance kept wafting out of the table, and Cai Hongming clearly heard the sound of someone swallowing saliva, so he didn't hesitate and started directly.

He thought that Liu Zhong and others would be the first to start, but he didn't expect it to be the Kyoto lady Qingyun he originally thought. She took a pair of disposable chopsticks and went directly to the chicken clip, and after eating, she sandwiched mutton and salt claws, and then ran to drink Cistanche pork rib soup, and then loaded a bowl of noodles and ate it there, while eating, she discussed with Xin Jinrou what was the most delicious, and completely gave up the image of a lady she had worked so hard to maintain in Kyoto.

Xin Jinrou also held a bowl of noodles to eat, but her face was red, and she didn't know if she was ashamed or too hot.

made a lot of things, Cai Hongming originally thought that he couldn't finish it, but he didn't expect to be wiped out in the end, and the result was that he was holding his stomach and shouting over there that he was about to burst.

Cai Hongming obviously ate too much, so he went around in circles to eat. A group of women who came with him got together and whispered, and they didn't know what they were talking about, laughing from time to time, while Liu Chong sat with the newcomers and talked about his great achievements in digging cistanche with Cai Hongming and others. Of course, it is inevitable to add oil and water in the meantime, which is far beyond the truth.

On the way back, Qingyun sat on the back of a yak on a whim and taught everyone to sing "Honghu Water Waves Hitting Waves".

After a while, the classic ballad sounded on the desert:

"The water of Honghu Lake is the waves, the waves are the waves, the shore of the Honghu Lake is the hometown,

The boat goes early in the morning to cast the net, and comes back in the evening with a full tank of fish.

Wild ducks and water chestnut lotus everywhere, the autumn harvest is full of rice fragrance,

Everyone says that heaven is beautiful, how can it be compared to my Honghu Lake fish and rice town.

The water of Honghu Lake is long and long, and the sun shines and shines golden.

Common. The kindness of the industrial party is deeper than that of the East China Sea, and the situation of the fishermen is stronger and stronger year by year."

It's just that Cai Hongming doesn't feel right about how he listens, is this a desert good, is there water? It's obviously not the right thing! (To be continued......)
