Chapter Seventy-Two: Cress

The sound of Bai Yi and Wang Dahai gradually approaching the stream, listening to the sound, felt that it was not very far, but it was blocked by the trees and thorns in front of them, and they had to make a detour.

When I came to the stream and listened to the sound of the water at close range, and looked at the aquatic plants and wild vegetables on both sides of the stream, it seems that the wild is not as wild survival says, there are no resources in the wild, it may just be poor cognition.

"Haizi tonight we set up camp behind this big tree, you pay attention to see that there is no place below where all kinds of animals drink water, where is there a big bird droppings in our big tree, there should be no snakes, the big tree is leeward, the terrain is slightly higher, even if it rains and the water does not flood us." Bai Yi said that he and Wang Dahai would go behind the big tree to observe first.

The two of them put down their backpacks, took out their medicine hoes in white clothes, and began to draw a big circle around the big tree, and then Wang Dahai removed the weeds in the circle, leaving the gravel aside, and used it to build the stove when the time came.

In fact, there are not many weeds under the tree, after all, the nutrients absorbed by the tree do not allow other weeds to survive. So Wang Dahai didn't have a hard time cleaning it up.

By the time Bai Yi and Wang Dahai had set up their tents, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon. The two men rested and came to the stream. Wang Dahai looked at the clear stream and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

"Xiaoyi, I want to drink this water when I look at it, and I feel thirsty." Wang Dahai said as he took out a bottle of water from his waist and filled most of the bottle in a row.

"Even if it's living water, try not to drink it unless it's boiled." Bai Yi also took out a bottle of water and took a few sips.

"Fill it with water first, and then drink it when you get back to the camp and boil it." Bai Yi said as he took out all the empty water bottles, washed them, and filled them all.

Bai Yi asked Wang Dahai to go back to the camp to make a fire and boil water, he planned to get some wild vegetables, and eat some at night, squatting down and just about to pull wild vegetables, only to see a few shrimp suddenly pop out of the place under the wild vegetable water.

“???” Bai Yi had a question mark on his head, turned around and looked to make sure that he was still on the mountain and had not gone around the mountain.

"Haizi, don't be busy yet, come over and have something delicious tonight." Bai Yi finished. I started looking for something to catch shrimp, but I couldn't find any bugs as bait, so I had to find a way out of the soil.

Take a small shovel and start digging in a wet area by the stream to see if you can find earthworms, after all, earthworms are universal bait for fishing, and you can use them for any fish.

Wang Dahai, who heard the call of the white-clothed man, came to the stream and happened to see the shrimp swimming in the water, the size of the tail finger, and the body was a little more slender than the shrimp he bought, but he knew that it was more energetic by looking at its swimming posture.

"Haizi, you go and get two thorn strips, it doesn't take a long time." Bai Yi said to Wang Dahai while clamping the earthworms on the ground with small branches.

Wang Dahai naturally knew Bai Yi's thoughts, and quickly returned to the road where he came, found two soft thorn strips, cut two with a knife, and returned to the stream to see Bai Yi and prepare earthworms.

Two of them, one thorn strip directly at the end of the branch, with a knife, sandwich the earthworm in the middle, stretch it into the water, and start fishing for shrimp.

The shrimp in the stream may have been because they had never seen a living person, so after the panic just now, some shrimp even began to look for food, and at this time, two earthworms with a fishy smell attracted the attention of the river shrimp.

I saw a large river shrimp come to the vicinity of the thorn strip stretched down by Wang Dahai, and looked at the earthworm that was still writhing tentatively touching the earthworm with the chela, and after several consecutive tests, I saw that the earthworm was not harmful, so I naturally wanted to feast on the earthworm.

The river shrimp claw opened to the earthworm is a clip, and just about to pull it back, Wang Dahai lifted it instantly, and in the end, the river shrimp naturally did not escape Wang Dahai's clutches. Toss the shrimp into the pot and continue to start fishing for shrimp.

Soon the white clothes also began to fish shrimp one after another, and the two of them were happy to catch shrimp and even saw small swimming fish.

"Enough Haizi, these shrimps are enough for us to eat, and we can't destroy the food chain." Seeing that the river shrimp was enough to eat, Baiyi immediately told Wang Dahai to stop, and the two of them returned to the camp with a basin containing shrimp.

"Alas, what is that in your hand? Potherb? "When Wang Dahai saw that the white clothes arrived at the camp, he still had a handful of grass in his hand that he didn't know?

"It's water celery (don't ask me if I have it by the mountain stream, it used to be everywhere), and this wild vegetable is the cheapest and most affordable dish." Bai Yi said and began to introduce the various nutritional and medicinal values of cress

Cress is rich in vitamins and minerals, and the edible part contains 9 grams of protein, 1 gram of fat, 8 grams of carbohydrates, 5 grams of crude fiber, 800 mg of calcium, 305 mg of phosphorus, and 42.5 mg of iron.

Cress also contains rutin, phelland, and quercetin, among others. Its tender stems and petioles are fresh and tender, fragrant and refreshing, and can be mixed raw or fried.

Moreover, the medicinal properties of cress are mainly peaceful, clearing heat and dampness, stopping bleeding, and lowering blood pressure.

It is used for colds and fevers, vomiting and diarrhea, urinary tract infections, leakage, leucorrhoea, and hypertension. Flattening the liver and lowering blood pressure, calming and calming the nerves, diuretic, anti-cancer, anti-cancer and beauty Promotes appetite, protects the stomach and repels phlegm, and lowers blood sugar, all of which have good effects.

The final conclusion is that watercress is one of the vegetables that make up for the shortage in winter! The most important thing is cheap, cheap and affordable or the belief of white.

"It's so good, how does it taste, you must know that foodies define their value by taste." Wang Dahai is not very interested in the nutritional and medicinal value that Bai Yi said.

But I'm interested in the taste, "Why don't you just take a bite and try it?" Seeing Wang Dahai's appearance, Bai Yi stuffed the cress into his mouth.

"Xiaoyi, are you feeding the animals? Forget it, let's just canned food and salt, and there are no other seasonings, so let's cook it and eat it. Wang Dahai thought seriously for a few seconds and then shook his head.

"Come on, get the shrimp and we'll try to eat it with cress dipping sauce later." Wang Dahai consciously went to deal with the shrimp when he heard this, and after washing the cress in Baiyi, he broke a small piece and threw it into his mouth, chewing it carefully, it was a little fragrant, and it was more of an astringent numb tongue and then it was a little sweet.

"Xiaoyi, aren't we also more hearty, eating canned food and shrimp, as well as potatoes, schisandra, and now there are vegetables to eat, isn't it happier than Dick Si who is reading a novel?" Wang Dahai counted his food in a matter-of-fact manner.

"That's for sure, those who read novels and those who write novels are basically scum who eat casually. Hurry up and the water is boiling, and today I will eat boiled shrimp in sauce, and I will eat it with a bite of shrimp and a mouthful of cress. Bai Yi said "smack" and drooled.

The two of them are eating and drinking here, and they are in trouble with Mengwu over there, Meng Xin, who just came out, really underestimated nature, and a rain in front of her directly poured her who looked clean and neat on the hospital bed, with a high fever and a cough.

"Xiaoxin, let's go back immediately, you hold on." Meng Wu saw that Meng Xin's whole person was now in a daze, and he didn't listen to her persuasion, and insisted on taking her down the mountain.

"Brother, if you find those two people, they must also have a cold, if you don't guess wrong, that Wang Dahai's cold should be cured." The feeling in the dark made Meng Xin always feel that Wang Dahai had also experienced a severe cold and had recovered.

"Xiaoxin, your situation can't be delayed any longer." After Meng Wu finished speaking, he saw Meng Xin's firm eyes, so he had to give up.

"Katsuko, go and come over to those two people." Meng Wu had to say to Bai Sheng, who was standing on the side.

Bai Sheng nodded and immediately walked out of the tent, as for how to find the two of them in white For him, the traces of the two in white were too obvious.
