1576.Devil Ginger (Happy Christmas Eve)
I wish my brothers and sisters a happy and happy Christmas Eve, the bullet shell is still alone, alas, history is always similar, five years ago, the Christmas Eve shell lived by himself, four years ago, the Christmas Eve shell lived by himself, until now, Christmas Eve is still the bullet shell himself......****
Winnie went back to work after a day of rest at home, and there was usually nothing to do in the town, but she could accumulate some things in the twenty days, and she needed to take care of them.
Qin Shiou didn't go directly to manage the fishing grounds, he took the tigers and leopards up the mountain, and took them to vent their energy, otherwise they would fight with the little radish head.
Squirrels, rabbits, pheasants, wild deer and all kinds of birds have spent a cold winter with little food and clothing, and rush out to eat and replenish the energy consumed in winter during this season.
Everywhere the tigers and leopards reach, chickens fly and rabbits jump, wild boars and deer are also restless, and they are chasing and running around.
As long as they don't guard the little turnip, the tiger and the leopard will return to their brotherly state, and they will join hands in the mountains to send back the flower-tailed hazelnut, mallard, snowshoe hare, or the North American gray rabbit.
Qin Shiou expected this scene, and deliberately brought Ivoson to be responsible for bringing game in the future, and at the same time brought Bird to be a bodyguard, and he carried his daughter on his back and brought her to the mountains to get to know the mountains and forests.
The little girl entered the mountain for the first time, before Winnie carried her up the mountain, but at that time she didn't understand anything, now a little sensible, after entering the mountain, she was very happy, pointing to the flowers and beasts along the way.
After walking along the mountain road for a while, Huzi suddenly came out of the woods. With a wild boar cub in its mouth, the leopard followed closely behind. He also holds a wild boar cub in his mouth, and the two cubs are the kind of little piglets that have not been born for a long time. Same as a large rabbit.
Qin Shiou laughed, very good, very powerful, there is a roast suckling pig to eat tonight.
But when they ran to see before and after, the two piglets were not dead, but the corners of the tiger's and leopard's mouths were covered with blood, which made him think that they had bitten the piglets to death.
Seeing Qin Shiou and his party, they made a frightened chirping sound, and Huzi threw the piglet in his mouth to the ground, and it got up and wanted to run. As a result, he was held down by a paw of the tiger.
The wild boar has a fierce temperament, and after being pressed, the piglet unceremoniously turned his head and wanted to bite it, but the tiger reacted faster, and the other paw was raised, directly on its head, and it was trampled on it screaming.
At this time, there was a chaotic sound in the woods, and the tiger and leopard looked back vigilantly, and the golden retrievers on their bodies exploded. A low roar of 'woo' came out of his throat.
After a while, a behemoth appeared at the edge of the forest, a large female boar with one of its two fangs broken. The body is covered with a rough mane, which is messy and stained with some weeds, gravel, and sand. It's like a layer of armor.
This wild boar is the most in line with the legend of his hometown that Qin Shiou has seen since he came to Farewell Island, and there is generally no armor bonded out of gravel and sand on the wild boar. This wild boar has on it, apparently an old pig. Very experienced and combative.
However, its image is not good, with blood marks on its head and half of its ears torn off, which is supposed to be the work of tigers and leopards, which also explains where the blood on their mouths and claws came from.
After appearing, seeing the two little piglets being pressed to the ground, the female wild boar's eyes suddenly widened, her mouth opened to develop a 'whoop' roar, and her thick hooves stabbed the ground, making an attacking posture.
There is no doubt that the tiger and the leopard caught other people's cubs.
If you want to fight head-on, Qin Shiou can easily kill this female wild boar here, Bird has a SIG rifle in his hand, Iverson has a Remington shotgun in his hand, and he also has a pulley bow in his hand.
But he still had a little girl on his back, and the little girl was very excited when she saw the female wild boar, and pointed at it and shouted: "Rent Ma Ma, this is like renting Ma Ma ......"
Qin Shiou saw that his daughter also knew that this was the mother pig, so he didn't want to do it directly, it would be too bloody, and the female wild boar seemed to know that they were not easy to mess with, or that they had suffered the loss of tigers and leopards just now, so they did not attack directly, but bluffed and roared in the distance.
There was no need for him to hunt the wild boar, so he whistled at the tiger and leopard to let them come back, and then the two little wild boar cubs were free, and immediately rushed in the direction of the old lady with their tails between their legs, and hid under its belly.
The wild boar cub was rescued, and the female wild boar had not yet left, but stared at the group with fierce eyes, as if planning to attack.
Bird was lazy to see it, raised the SIG and fired two shots, and after a crisp 'bang' sound, the female boar was frightened and finally turned around and fled.
Seeing the prey fleeing, the tiger and the leopard cried out in disappointment, Qin Shiou squatted down and fed them meatloaf, patting them on the head comfortingly, so that the tiger and the leopard finally became happy again and ran into the forest again.
Walking along the mountain road for a while, Qin Shiou walked into the jungle and picked some blackberries, one winter, the blackberries have turned into dried blackberries, but they are not rotten, it should be because of the wind and the sky.
The three of them picked off a piece of dried blackberries, and Qin Shiou ate one, which was sweet and sour, with a strong fragrance, and it was not the same thing as the artificially processed dried blackberries on the market.
The air is fresh, the environment is clean, these blackberries are very clean, just wipe them with your hands when eating, the little girl also hid some in her breast pocket, and kept reaching out to grab and eat.
After walking about a hundred meters further, Qin Shiou saw a green plant, ranging in height from ten centimeters to two or three meters, with erect stems and branches, and white coarse short hairs on it. The leaves on the branches are opposite, oval, short as the length of a little finger, and as long as the length of an adult's palm.
When the other vegetation is just beginning to grow green leaves, the plant has already bloomed, and it is a number of small flowers, some yellow and some white, scattered in between, and it looks like a rich spring color.
Seeing this plant, Qin Shiou thought about it and went up to find one and began to dig it, and then dug out a fist-sized tuber from below, this stem was ginger, and the whole was a bit like a big ginger, and after he broke it, there was thick white juice flowing out.
In this way, he determined the identity of this plant, this is artichoke, the scientific name is Jerusalem artichoke, and they also have this thing in their hometown, commonly known as devil ginger.
The origin of devil ginger is North America, the United States and Canada, and it was introduced to Europe in the 17th century and later to China.
In Qin Shiou's hometown, there are farmers who specialize in planting devil ginger, the tubers of this thing are rich in starch and inulin, which is a very good food, which can be boiled or boiled porridge, dried artichoke can be dried, and even used to make wine, etc., with rich functions.
But its most important function is to pickle and make pickles. Devil ginger is particularly crispy and has no taste in itself, so when marinated, it can fully absorb the flavor of the condiment, just like tofu, which is not delicious in itself, but if it is done well, the taste will be very good.
In this way, Qin Shiou was happy, and summoned Bird and Ivoson to start digging up the devil Jiang. (To be continued.) )
