Chapter 082: Mobilization Meeting (Second Shift)
Where's the grass at this time? It's just dry grass and dead leaves, and some dry plant roots buried in the soil.
Lu gently asked everyone to find it separately, she wanted to use the power of life to sense, but if it was just an ordinary plant and animal, she couldn't sense anything, she could only hold a stone knife and pull it on the ground, probably because she was too lucky, and soon saw a dead vine with a lodging stem and leaf on the ground that was suspected to be a monk ginseng, she went over and grabbed a bush and pulled it up, and immediately pulled out a string of monk ginseng from the soil.
Monk ginseng looks really similar to potatoes in appearance, only to see that the brown root system grows several large and small bulbous tubers, all of which are round and chubby, but they are not big, the small ones are only the size of little fingers, and the big ones are not as big as tennis balls, and more are the size of eggs.
Monk ginseng is very fat, and the land that has been planted with monk ginseng can not be planted again for ten years, which shows its demand for nutrients.
Lu lightly disgusted it, but on the other hand, he was happy to bloom, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to come and dig.
No matter how big or small, they are dug out of the soil and thrown into the basket, but unfortunately the basket is not big in order to make a style that can be carried, and it is soon full.
Lu lightly estimated that there were more than ten times more than ten times that had not been dug up, and squinted his eyes with a smile, "Let's go, go back first." ”
Back to the top, Lu gently immediately led people to divide the size of the monk ginseng into piles, the size of eggs and above into a pile, which was to be eaten, and the following ones into another pile, which was to be retained.
There are many ways to eat monk ginseng, but there are only two that are more suitable at present - boiled monk ginseng and monk ginseng pork rib soup.
Add water to the stone pot, then pour the washed monk ginseng into it and boil it, and when it is cooked, take it out and peel it to eat, just like boiled potatoes. Lu gently waited on the side, poking and poking with chopsticks from time to time, and when the smallest one was cooked, the skin was cracked, she immediately picked it up, and couldn't wait to peel off the skin after a little cooling.
Peeling off the skin, the meat inside is pale yellow, still very similar to potatoes, but the color is lighter, the smell is sweeter, she took a bite, the taste is more delicate than potatoes, glutinous, with a faint sweetness.
Lu lightly breathed a sigh of relief, it is indeed monk ginseng, yes, it can indeed be eaten, and there is no need to worry about eating people badly.
Lu lightly waved his hand: "Cook a lot, I'll eat this in one day today." ”
As for the ribs, Lu left lightly, took out the yak in the space with a few pieces of butt meat torn off, and then asked someone to carry it, saying that it was given to them by Chongming Bird to eat.
As soon as the yak was brought back, the tribe was boiling, and there was nothing more exciting than seeing such a large beef cow when it was hungry, and everyone could tell that the cow had just died (there was hardly time in space), and that the frozen meat of the hyena must have tasted countless times better than the dry wood of the hyena.
The men were busy, peeling the skin, disemboweling the belly, and unloading eight pieces, Lu gently took the ribs, chopped them into small pieces, and boiled the soup in the pot, there was no green onion and ginger, Lu lightly felt sorry for the wild garlic, so he could only boil it in white water, and then change the water after boiling it for the first time, then add water and then boil, cook until it is seven or eight mature, pour the pale yellow monk ginseng that has scraped off the skin and cut it into pieces, turn to low heat and continue to cook.
The fragrance slowly wafted out, and finally a little salt was added to turn off the fire, and a large pot of monk ginseng pork rib soup was ready, and the taste was not bad, but it was a little fishy.
When the soup was ready, the team that came in the morning also packed themselves up and came up from under the rift, and Lu gently called everyone to gather and sit down in a circle.
This is not a random sitting, there are stone pots in the open space, two steaming stone pots side by side, a few bowls, a few pairs of chopsticks, a few wooden spoons, a large stone pot with a boiled monk ginseng, and a pork rib soup at the other.
There are five places in this arrangement, and Lu gently asked people to sit around the stone pot in groups, and there were about twenty people in a circle.
After everyone sat down, they looked curiously into the pot, and looked at each other again, the wonderful taste of the food made their empty stomachs scream desperately, and their saliva continued to secrete, but no one moved.
Lu smiled lightly and said, "The food in front of you is called monk ginseng, a very filling food, and it is very delicious and nutritious, you can try it." ”
Lu gently picked up a demonstration and peeled the skin and ate it, the fragrance was even stronger, everyone immediately started, eating this soft, glutinous, sweet and hot food, everyone opened their eyes in amazement, sighed, and took another sip of soup and ate a piece of pork ribs, just don't enjoy it too much, they were startled by the people sent by the Dapeng tribe before, and the anxiety and fatigue of running around overnight were swept away at this moment.
Lu gently waited for everyone to eat almost enough, and spoke again: "What do you think of this monk ginseng?"
Everyone looked at her, and some of them were still eating, and they all praised the food excitedly.
"Actually, this monk ginseng was only discovered today, that is, it grows in the valley you passed by when you came. ”
Lu gently explained the process of discovering Monk ginseng, thanked the ram for a moment, and then said, "I was originally worried about what to do with our food next, but the god of food let me find such food, which is in addition to the five baskets we dug up, there are many in the valley below, enough for us to endure this difficult time, this is the god of food telling us that the road to heaven is endless, so that we are full of hope and confidence in the future." ”
Everyone was cheered up, and a sense of pride that the god of food was helping them, and that the gods were on their side, made them look up.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Lu Qing was very satisfied, and continued: " I know that the Dapeng tribe sent people to spy on us and made everyone feel a little uneasy, after all, it is a tribe that is much stronger than our tribe, and the struggle between tribes and tribes has always been cruel, but we have nothing to fear, first, we have moved here, even if they are arrogant, it is impossible to find here for a while, second, there is a god of food behind us, we don't need to worry about food, what we need to do is to unite and build our homeland. ”
"All along, we don't have our own fixed territory, we don't have our own city, so we are banished, running around, like lost dogs, when the enemy comes to attack, when the wild beast comes to sneak attack, we either fight around the wall, or we flee in the wilderness, and we can't form an army, but if we have a city of our own, it will be completely different. ”
Lu Qingqing has been not far away from the marked construction site: "That is the place I chose for the tribe to build the city, there is nothing yet, but in the near future, there will be a city erected there, it may not be very luxurious, how beautiful, but it has a high and strong wall, we can hide in the city wall, we can sleep and eat in peace, when the enemy comes, we just need to close the gate, from the city wall condescending to meet the enemy." Do you want such a city?"
