Chapter 30: Change of Taste

This is the tropical rainforest of the Southeast Regions, one of the world's most primeval jungles.

If you want to survive in such a place, you have to face many problems.

Food is one of them, and it can't be wasted whether the mushroom is delicious or not.

Xiaohu reacted, and was also a little annoyed, blaming himself for not taking this matter too seriously.

"These mushrooms can be collected first, and then used to make dried mushrooms, and then used as dry food."

"Making dry food?"

Xiaohu is a little ignorant, generally mushrooms are eaten freshly, how can they be used as dry food, it seems that they can't be eaten, right?

Lu Yan knew that she would think so, so he explained: "Do you think this mushroom is relatively soft and not easy to spoil, right?" ”

Xiaohu nodded.

"What is the essence of dry food, that is, there are no strict requirements for the storage environment, and the general food will rot after a long time, not to mention that the temperature here is so high that it will be rancid in less than a day."

Lu Yan collected it, and like the fragrant mushrooms before, they were skewered with thin vines.

He knew that Xiaohu wouldn't understand just by saying it, so he said, "You'll know later." ”

The two of them continued to collect, and after half an hour, they had collected a large number of mushrooms, two kinds of mushrooms, the latter of which was much softer.

"Now let's roast the mushrooms and eat them first."

Lu Yan raised the fire, this time he didn't need to make a barbecue, he directly skewered the mushrooms with branches, and then roasted them on the fire.

After a while, the soda on the mushrooms began to evaporate, and a sizzling sound sounded, and a fragrance spread.

The little fox wrinkled his nose and took a deep breath, and the expression on his face lit up.

"Wow, that's so fragrant!"

"It looks delicious~"

"I'm drooling in front of the screen!"

Lu Yan took one off and put it on the camera to satisfy everyone's desires, then tore off a small piece and put it in his mouth.

"Hmm~ not bad, not bad!"

The little fox couldn't help it for a long time, and directly stuffed a large roasted mushroom into his mouth, and his little mouth was swollen.

Like a starving ghost reincarnated, he chewed a few times and swallowed it.

"Swallow dates~"

"Little fox, you can't make purple sauce, in case there are bugs in it~"

"Don't talk nonsense, the little fox doesn't know yet/Bad laugh"

Lu Yan was also a little speechless, who did this to make her become like this?

After eating, Xiaohu realized that something was wrong, except for the taste of mushrooms in his mouth, other feelings were gone.

"It's not delicious at all......"

The little fox muttered quietly.

"Do you know that Zhu Bajie eats ginseng fruit?"

"Of course I know, he just swallowed it in one gulp, and then he didn't want it anymore."

Lu Yan shook his head, this story is one of the most classic episodes in Journey to the West, Xiaohu only remembers this.

"Not only that, it's not that Zhu Bajie doesn't know the preciousness of ginseng fruit, it's that he knew Sun Wukong's character from the beginning, so he deliberately did this, and then tricked Sun Wukong into stealing ginseng fruit again."

Xiaohu feels that this makes some sense, after all, she also knows Zhu Bajie's character, she is lazy without lust, and likes to shirk responsibility.

Lu Yan continued: "Don't care why Zhu Bajie swallowed the ginseng fruit in one bite, what about you, how can you eat it so quickly?" Are you a pig? ”

Xiaohu reacted now, with a trace of anger on his face: "Okay, Lu Yan, you actually scolded me for being a pig from the beginning, and I always believed in you." ”

Lu Yan was embarrassed, he just said it casually, just as an analogy.

"Hahaha, Encyclopedia said that the little fox is a pig~"

"Let's fight, fight, hold wrestling/funny"

"Don't lead the battle, Encyclopedia is so gentle, how can you fight with Xiaohu!"

Xiaohu didn't give Lu Yan a good look, and this guy didn't apologize to her, which made her even more angry.

No, she kept her head down, sulked, and ate the mushrooms.

The verbal battle was still no match for the hunger of the stomach, and the little fox was quickly conquered by Lu Yan's barbecue technology, and after tasting it carefully, he found that the roasted mushrooms were so delicious!

"It would be perfect if there was salt."

Lu Yan was a little eager to try, but because of the lack of materials, his wish was disappointed.

Mushrooms have long been extinct in the 22nd century, and those so-called artificially cultivated 'mushrooms' are too heavy in water and have no taste at all. Jiuzhou Chinese

Lu Yan added an unfinished dish to his recipe in his heart, fried mushrooms!

After solving the food problem, the two of them had eaten and drunk to their heart's content, and then disposed of the remaining mushrooms.

According to Lu Yan's arrangement, these mushrooms were dried first, and then packed in bags.

Little Fox has a plastic bag in his backpack, which comes in handy.

After processing, the two continued on their way.

They didn't come here for a vacation, they were looking for a way out.

The sun was blazing, and the jungle on the land seemed to be experiencing the harshest test, and the water vapor was steaming, which made both people who walked down the jungle feel a little suffocated.

"Lu Yan, I want to rest for a while, can you wait for the sun to wither a little before leaving?"

The little fox stuck out her tongue, her shirt was soaked, and she felt slimy.

Lu Yan looked at the sky, it was two o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still a few hours before it got dark.

"Okay, but it's not a good place to rest, let's go to the front."

Lu Yan led the way, because the trees here are too dense, although it is daytime, it is still easy to lack oxygen.

In this primeval jungle, it has a complete food chain of its own, which is why these trees are constantly growing upwards in order to get enough sunlight.

As for underneath them, they were bare, with nothing but yellow fallen leaves.

And the feeling in it is depressing, and even the fear of some wild beast infested.

The two of them came to a place with a few rocks, where the air was moist, and most importantly, there were several small caves.

"Wow! It's so cool~"

Xiaohu exclaimed, she stood at the entrance of the cave, and felt a cool air blowing out of the cave that was more refreshing than the air conditioner.

"What the hell is this?"

Lu Yan thought for a while and said: "It should be because of the temperature difference, to give the simplest example, there was no refrigerator in ancient summer, but you could eat chilled fruits and even ice cubes, and these ice cubes were stored in the cellar." ”

"You mean that the temperature below ground and then the surface temperature is high, and there is a temperature difference between the two, which creates a flow of air, and then I can feel the coolness like blowing an air conditioner?"

Lu Yan nodded: "That's right, it seems that you are quite smart!"

He praised Xiaohu rarely, and Xiaohu was also a little proud, and said with his head held high: "That's, don't underestimate me, anyway, I have received nine years of compulsory education and four years of higher education." ”

"Encyclopedia is too powerful, a simple example can explain such a difficult problem!"

"A little envious, if I also have a cellar at home, wouldn't it mean that I don't need air conditioning in winter~"

"Hahaha, all-natural, energy-saving and environmentally friendly!"

Soon, someone gave a large reward, and Xiaohu and Lu Yan expressed their gratitude one by one.

The two stayed here for a while, during which they also ate a few mushrooms to fill their stomachs to ensure that they had enough physical strength.

But if you eat mushrooms all the time, even people who like to eat mushrooms will feel tired.

The little fox was holding a piece of mushroom, his face was a little disgusted, but he felt that his stomach was still empty, and he was very entangled.

Lu Yan is the same, in fact, he is not a picky eater, he really hasn't roasted mushrooms with salt, and the taste is really bad.

Lu Yan looked around, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he walked over.

"I found a new food to pull, and it's filling!"

The little fox's face was happy, and there was such a good thing?

Dozing off someone to send a pillow?

"What's delicious?"

Lu Yan walked in the direction he found and said, "Vegetable salad!" ”

Xiaohu's face was a little strange, and he was a little questioning: "Vegetable salad, you didn't tease me, did you?" ”

In this wilderness, it's good to have something to eat, and a vegetable salad, dream!

Lu Yan didn't speak, walked in front of a verdant plant, squatted down and introduced, "Does Clover know?" This thing can be eaten raw as a dish, but it tastes a little sour. ”

Xiaohu took off a piece suspiciously, took it in his mouth and tasted it carefully, and frowned slightly: "The taste is a little sour." ”

Lu Yan also picked a slice and put it in his mouth and chewed it.

"Well, it tastes good, not only to improve the taste, but also to quench your thirst."

Xiaohu pursed his lips: "It's not bayberry, what kind of thirst quenching, I think it's bad for my taste!" ”

Lu Yan didn't say anything, then picked a plant, and then came to another place, squatted down, and picked up a kind of grass that was very ordinary but full of moisture.

"It's a shepherd's cabbage, and its taste tends to be alkaline, so if you eat it alone, it will be alkaline, but if you eat it with clover, you can neutralize the acidity of the clover."

Lu Yan rolled two different plants together, like rolling powder, pinched them together, and then stuffed them into his mouth.
