Chapter 42 Eating Plantains

Two words came out of her mouth in a ghostly manner, and although they were slight, they still entered the ears of four people not far away. The four of them looked back at Ji Xiaoran, who didn't seem to be fully awake at the same time, with different expressions.

Ji Cheng looked at her with a frown, and asked in a strange tone, "What did you just say?" ”

Ji Xiaoran, who was questioned, realized what he had just said, and his eyes subconsciously glanced to the side, "I want to ask, what time is it now, why did you come back?" ”

The daughter's weak heart made Ji Yingyu glance at Zhou Xian, and seeing that Zhou Xian was also shocked at this time, he said coldly, "I and the bean sprouts made up a fish under the waterfall over there, so I brought it back." ”

As soon as he heard that there was meat to eat, Ji Xiaoran's eyes immediately lit up, but when he looked at them, his eyes were nailed to Ji Ying's bandaged left arm, and he immediately got up from the ground, "What's wrong with your hand?" ”

"Fishbitten." Ji Ying raised his eyebrows, "Look at it, it's not easy for me to support you." ”

As soon as Ji Xiaoran wanted to refute how it was possible to be bitten by a fish like this, he saw the fish pieces that were being roasted on the fire and the remaining parts placed next to them, and couldn't help but grow his mouth, "What is this?" So big? ”

"Fish, it's just a little mutated." Seeing that she was stunned for a moment, Ji Cheng explained, "Although this fish is big, its attack power is not strong under normal circumstances, but these few took the initiative to step forward and start attacking." ”

"How many more?" Ji Xiaoran was shocked.

Ji Yin nodded, "Otherwise, your father would almost confess there?" But it's still quite cost-effective, the fish is not only sweet and flat, but also nourishes qi and blood, enough for you to eat several meals. ”

Zhou Xian echoed, "I'll see if I can boil a little salt out of the seawater today and marinate the remaining fish pieces." ”

On the surface, Zhou Xian has returned to normal, but in his heart he is still shocked by Ji Xiaoran's two words. All this time, apart from his mother and grandparents, there has never been a fourth person who has called himself that.

Feeling that Zhou Xian had been looking at him, Ji Xiaoran smiled at him a little embarrassedly.

The small interaction between the two people fell into Ji Ying's eyes, and he only felt strange. As an old guy who has lived for thousands of years, how can the children's minds hide from him? But he felt that these two little guys didn't mean that to each other.

After all, with Ji Xiaoran's past performance as a girl who seems to be stable but actually can't hide anything, if she really likes someone, doesn't she change her tricks every night to talk about each other's things?

At least for now, you don't need to worry about that. After figuring it out, Ji Cheng was relieved: he didn't hate Zhou Xian anyway, and it was not impossible for the two of them to really develop something. So he stretched his waist and pointed to Zhou Xian at the fish that was sizzling on the fire, "I'll rest with the bean sprouts for a while before we set off." Pack some for us then. ”

Zhou Xian nodded, "There is a banana tree outside, and the banana leaves will be loaded for you when the time comes." ”

Seeing him get up, Ji Xiaoran also got up, "I'll go with you?" ”

"I'm going to go to the beach to fetch some water and come back to boil salt. Why don't you grill fish here with edamame? ”

Ji Xiaoran glanced at the pile of fish pieces, and struggled inwardly, "I can come back first after taking the banana leaves." ”

Zhou Xian thought about it, it seemed that Ji Xiaoran hadn't gone out since he woke up, and nodded in agreement.

Walking out of the mountain crevice along the stream, Ji Xiaoran finally saw the grass and woods separated by the stream. The banana tree that Zhou Xian mentioned grows on the outermost part of the woods, with wide leaves stretched out, and a few early morning dew drops hanging on it. TVmobile/

Although the dagger is Ji Xiaoran's, most of the time it is in Zhou Xian's hands. At this time, watching him skillfully cut off the wide leaves from the banana tree and handed them over, Ji Xiaoran took it with both hands, "Xishuangbanna, is there a saying about eating banana hearts?" ”

"Seems to be the case." Zhou Xian's hand did not stop, and he cut down another leaf, "Do you want to eat it?" ”

"Yes." Ji Xiaoran tilted her head and tried to look at the top of the banana tree, "And there are also things that can be boiled with banana leaves, right?" ”

"What's the way to eat it...... Wrap burning? Ji Xiaoran's words reminded Zhou Xian, "We can wrap the fish directly in plantain leaves, and then bury it under the charcoal fire to cook it, but it may not taste good." ”

It stands to reason that there must be plants in this forest that can be used as spices, but unfortunately neither of them can recognize them.

Since the plantain tree is going to be cut, there is no need to clean the leaves first. The entire plantain tree is about three meters tall, and the stem can be held with two hands. Zhou Xian asked her to hold the leaves and retreat, and began to cut down the banana tree at a height of 100 meters in the middle of the banana tree, and another benefit of the wide leaves was reflected: the tree did not fall around, but was stuck there, Zhou Xian held the broken hole with his hand, directly put the tree vertically on the ground, and then put it down.

After putting it on the banana tree, Zhou Xian squatted down, cut off the remaining half of the meter, and then peeled off the hard skin on it layer by layer like peeling a bamboo shoot, until the plantain stalk with a diameter of nearly twenty centimeters was peeled to the point where only three centimeters were left, looking like a long green onion, and then handed it to Ji Xiaoran, "Probably ready to eat?" ”

Ji Xiaoran took the banana heart, kept looking at Zhou Xian, and took a bite carefully, but the texture and taste made his eyes shine, and subconsciously handed it to Zhou Xian to let him taste it too, "It's delicious, very tender, and a little sweet." ”

Zhou Xian looked at the banana heart handed over, Ji Xiaoran bit and cut it off directly, although it didn't leave any traces, but it made him sense a trace of ambiguous taste, but he already knew that this was purely this girl's nerves, so he opened his mouth and bit off a section.

The tender heart of the plantain seems to contain all the moisture of the plantain, and the texture is delicate and delicious, chewing and chewing, and even Zhou Xian felt a faint taste of banana in his mouth.

"Delicious, right?" Ji Xiaoran's eyes were shining, as if the puppy who had made a contribution was wagging his tail and waiting for the owner's praise.

"It's delicious." Zhou Xian smiled and squatted down to cut out the remaining part of the banana tree by the roots, "It's also considered that you have found a new food, you can take it back to the boss and they will taste it." ”

As a result, Zhou Xian didn't go to fetch water, and went back directly with Ji Xiaoran holding the banana leaves. Ji Cheng didn't expect the two of them to come back so quickly, and when he saw his daughter handing the banana heart to him like a treasure, he took it with a smile, "That's good, I know how to eat banana hearts." What about plantain root? That section can also be eaten. ”

"I brought it back." Zhou Xianyang raised the things he was holding in his hand. Originally, he thought that this thing was quite big and could be used for a bowl, but he didn't expect that the root could also be eaten.

Ji Cheng took the root block with great interest, conjured the blade of the gun, and began to cut off the older and harder parts of the root, and slice the large white piece.

The center of the plantain slices is tight, but the surrounding area is like lace layered with a circle of lattice texture, placed on the plantain leaves, which is also a large plate of white flowers.

"You can keep it and eat it, but don't eat it if it's oxidized and blackened." Ji Cheng conjured up the long rod again, reloaded the spear head, and put the spear back away.
