Chapter 136: Small Animals

Because Yao Ran didn't bring a female dependents on this trip, he chatted for a long time by the big lake. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Until the moon rose to the willow tops, my stomach was hungry and I remembered that I hadn't eaten anything but those grilled fish.

"You're not hungry, isn't it that no one is hungry?" Listening to Yao Ran's words, Xia Zhi was the first to blush, Xia Zhi is the master of this place, and the guests are not entertained. Now he is still sitting on the sidelines and watching this great wise man cry out for hunger.

"I'll ask someone to bring food, you wait a minute." Saying that, Xia Solstice turned around apologetically to leave. Yao Ran hurriedly opened his mouth and called him back.

What are you kidding, you don't have salt for cooking, let's do it ourselves! Of course, this is what Yao Ran thinks in his heart, and it just so happens that he can also tell it now, this wizard apprentice listens. Yao Ran was very skeptical that this wizard apprentice of his had no sense of taste.

Otherwise, when eating fish at noon, this wizard apprentice didn't even react at all. Yao Ran called Yao Huo, brought the pot he brought, and prepared all kinds of ingredients, this time it was not a clay pot and clay bowl used for trading, but a real iron pot and iron rice bowl.

Seeing that Yao Huo's brothers were busy on the side, Yao Ran was about to ask his wizard apprentice about lunch, but Xia Zhi opened his mouth first.

"Teacher, I still don't know something, why do you say that if you stand on the shore and fish, you won't have a big catch, but you have to go fishing in the water?"

Yao Ran smiled, thinking to himself that this old boy was still thinking about the livelihood of Dahu Village, and he was not bad as a responsible little village head. Yao Ran patted Xia Zhi's shoulder with relief and said.

"Let me ask you first, can you get into such a small hole?" Yao Ran pointed to a gap under several large stones on the ground and said.

Seeing the wizard apprentice, he shook his head. Yao Ran continued

"So big fish have more meat, or small fish have more meat."

This time, Xia Solstice didn't give Yao Ran any answer, but fell into thought. After a while, Xia Zhi sat up straight and said to Yao Ran solemnly, "You mean you want to go to the middle of the lake to catch big fish?" ”

Yao Ran nodded and said, "That's right! It's not impossible to catch small fish, but the speed of catching is too slow, so we have to free our hands and do more. ”

After getting Yao Ran's affirmative answer, Xia Zhi sat aside and thought about it. Yao Ran didn't bother him, he sat on the side, watching a group of disciples cooking on a fire not far away. The two of them were silent until the grilled fish and broth were served in front of Yao Ran.

Yao Ran beckoned his wizard apprentice, come and taste it, the wizard looked at Yao Ran and looked at it, and placed it on the stone, and the iron pot was still steaming.

"Taste it, it's delicious." Under Yao Ran's constant urging, Xia Zhi stretched out his hand and unskillfully inserted a piece of pickled meat in the soup pot with chopsticks. This iron pot, which has a layer of ash smoked on the surface and can't see the metallic luster, was actually disgusted by Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi was still worried about whether to tell his teacher about some questions, but after eating the first bite and the meat in his hand, Xia Zhi's expression appeared and the words were already on his face.

"In the end, he said vaguely, the meat you brought is better than ours."

Yao Ran laughed, "Of course, it must be better than your meat, because our meat has some condiments in it." ”

"What?"

Yao Ran took out a small clay bottle in his backpack, pulled out the stopper on it, and poured out a little white powder. Then he clenched his fists and shook it in front of Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi didn't understand what Yao Ran meant, so he approached Yao Ran's fist and took a look. Then he shook his head slightly, indicating that he did not understand. Yao Ran shook Shen Ping with his free hand again, Xia Zhi did so, Yao Ran poured the salt foam in his hand into Xia Zhi's hand.

Xia Zhi cautiously raised his hand and looked at the crystal powder in his hand carefully. I didn't know what it was after watching it for a long time.

Yao Ran opened his mouth and said, "Since it's something to eat, of course you have to taste it." ”

Xia Zhi took out a free hand, dipped it in a little salt, put the whole finger in his mouth, and then his expression spread out on his face, and he muttered in his mouth, "This is, this is, this is..."

Yao Ran looked at Xia Zhi and nodded, "Salty!" ~”

Xia Solstice repeated, "Salty? Hmmm, salty! Very similar, very similar, very similar? ”

"The smell of tears!" Yao Ran added again.

Xia Zhi kept nodding and said to Yao Ran, "Where did this be collected?" ”

"The production of salt is not collected, but dried." Yao Ran held the hot iron bowl and said while sipping the soup. Eyes on his own wizard apprentice.

And the wizard apprentice, how did he shake his head and show that he didn't understand, "It's exposed?" How to post it. ”

Yao Ran took out his water bladder and shook it in front of his wizard apprentice, "Is it in the water?" As he spoke, Yao Ran drank the broth in the bowl, and then shook the bowl to shake off the slag inside. He put the bowl in the hand of the summer solstice.

Open the water bladder and pour the water in the water bladder into the iron bowl, put the water bladder away, and take out the salt jar just now, this time pouring the salt directly into the water in the iron bowl.

Xia Zhi watched intently, and Yao Ran, who had placed the salt shaker, took the iron bowl in Xia Zhi's hand and shook it a few times. Then he looked into the bowl, then handed the bowl to Xia Zhi and said.

"Can you still see the salt I just poured in?"

Xia Zhi lowered his head and followed the light of the bonfire, and tilted the iron bowl in his hand a few times. Shaking his head, "It's gone." As soon as the words fell, Xia Zhi said, "Eaten by water!" In the water. ”

Yao Ran nodded and said, "That's right, but I call this phenomenon dissolution. Salt can be incorporated into water. ”

Saying that, Yao Ran pointed to the big lake not far away, and said, "The water in the big lake, when you take it out, it seems to be clear, but in fact, there are all kinds of dissolved substances in the water, and there are many of them, small animals that we can't see?" ”

"Critters?" Xia Solstice repeated suspiciously.

Yao Ran said solemnly, "Yes, it is a small animal that we can't see, also known as microorganisms. Most of these microorganisms affect our health. Let's live shorter. ”

The summer solstice is also dignified, and it has always been that the bigger the animal, the more dangerous it is, but small animals are also deadly, just like scorpions and poisonous spiders. These summer solstices have all been seen. But the invisible critter, the summer solstice is the first time I've heard of it.

Xia Zhi opened his mouth and said, "How do you kill them?" ”

Yao Ran smiled and said, "It's very simple, just put it on the fire and burn it, that is, put the water on the fire and burn it." ”

After Yao Ran finished adding, he also pointed to the soup pot on the ground. Not only do there are a lot of these things in the water, but the meat and fish we eat have these microorganisms on them, and they must be cooked at high temperatures before eating, otherwise they will be eaten by small animals.
