Chapter 556: Heavy Rain

When returning taro to the sand, there are three tricks to master. First, the syrup should not be boiled for too long, and when the syrup becomes thick, the taro strips should be quickly poured into the dough. Second, after the taro strips are wrapped in syrup, immediately turn off the heat and continue to stir-fry, so that the syrup outside the taro strips quickly cools down and condenses into hoarfrost. Third, the heat should not be too large, and the syrup should be boiled over low heat, otherwise the syrup will be scorched and the taste will be bitter.

Of course, if you are cooking this dish in the kitchen at home, you can use a fan, and after the heat is turned off, you can cool the pot by blowing the air, so that the syrup wrapped in the taro noodles can quickly cool down, which can have a better effect.

However, now in the middle of the dense forest, there are no such conditions. Cai Youyou can only try his best to make this anti-sand taro well.

In addition to Cai Youyou's cooking of this sweet and delicious anti-sand taro, Mo Xun and others also caught two fish in the pool next to them, imitating the practice of taro steamed pork, and made a delicious steamed fish with taro powder.

At noon on this day, in order to save the food they bring, the staple food of everyone is steamed taro, accompanied by several dishes made with taro or other wild vegetables that can be found in the surrounding area.

It is worth mentioning that they also dug up some taro and brought it to their bodies to replenish the food consumed.

After lunch, Liang Wenbao, Zhu Qing, and Li Xuan joined forces and patrolled the surroundings with weapons, while the rest of the people leaned together in twos and threes, seizing the time to take a lunch break.

After a lunch break of about twenty minutes, everyone got up and packed up and continued to the northwest.

Cai Youyou only felt that the weather this afternoon seemed to be even hotter than yesterday.

The hot and humid air was so heavy and oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

The sky was covered with thick clouds, which clearly indicated that a heavy rain would fall soon.

Under the gloomy sky, everyone quickened their pace, and after less than an hour of advancing northwest in the rainforest, the bean-sized raindrops fell with a thunderbolt.

In the rainforest, if the rain gets heavier, the land in the rainforest will become extremely muddy, and the road under your feet will become more slippery and difficult, bringing many dangers to those who are hurrying.

In order to ensure the safety of every member of the team, everyone had to give up the idea of traveling in the rain and found a slightly flat place, right here, before the rain became heavier, and set up a temporary shelter and rest place with rainproof tents.

Everyone huddled together in this makeshift resting place, listening to the sound of rain outside.

Cai Youyou also deliberately crowded in the corner, set up a small stove for camping, and boiled a pot of black tea for everyone to dispel dampness and cold.

After distributing the tea to everyone one by one, Cai Youyou sat beside Mo Xun, looking at the forest outside through the overlapping rain curtain.

Because it was covered by layers of rain curtains, the dense forest, which usually looked bottomless, was even more shadowy at the moment, full of unknown mysteries and dangers.

This made Cai Youyou's heart more and more vigilant and uneasy.

And Li Xuan is even more so.

As he drank his tea, he told everyone that looking at the gloomy forest in the rain and completely shrouded in thick dark clouds reminded him of the many horror movies he had seen before.
