After eating meat for so long, especially barbecued meat, I really want to eat something with soup, especially green vegetables.

On this high mountain, my father knew that there were no other green plants in this season, only the shallot was still fighting the spirit, which was considered a green plant.

Besides, the shallot stew is also a must, and the two aromas are blended together, which is simply wonderful.

The above-ground part of the shallot is a long, green tube, which is not deep in the soil, and the ground is a small white bag, a bit like a garlic bag.

I looked for many places, but I didn't see the shallot figure, and my son became a little irritable.

The father did not say a word, walked to the place near the mountain wall, bent down and searched carefully, and finally found a few sand onions in front of him, and cried out happily.

The father and son walked forward along this sand onion belt, and found more and more sand onions in the place with the back of the sun, only to know that they were looking for the wrong place some time ago. They took a small stick in their hands, and when they found the shallot, they inserted the small stick diagonally into the bottom of the shallot bag near the shallot, and tilted it upward, and the whole shallot came out.

In a short time, they had already dug up a large pile of shallots, so they stopped and handed them to the children who were burning the fire.

By this time, the fire had already burned big, and the child had already scraped some of the oil off the boar's skin with a knife, and was boiling the oil.

After a while, the son put the chopped wild boar meat into a pot and stewed it along with a few large ribs. The two dogs were lying on the ground, holding a piece of meat between their two front legs and gnawing hard.

The father set off again with one of his sons, this time towards the two children who were chopping wood. This time they want to see if there are any mushrooms and thunder feces that were missed after the last rain - the ancestors didn't know much about its growth principle, thinking that it was the of Lei Gong when he thundered, in fact, it was a fungus similar to fungus, lying on the mud to grow, generally after the rain, a large area appeared, black and soft, a little greasy feeling in the hand, after the ground water vapor evaporated, it slowly became dry and hard, and it had no taste to eat, and it needed to rely on the taste of other vegetables.

The hard work pays off, the mushrooms are not common because the woods are not dense enough, and they picked seventeen or eighteen begonia mushrooms - begonia mushrooms generally grow in dense patches of masson pine forests, because the branches and leaves of the pine forest are very dense, plus a thick layer of pine needles that fall on the ground to protect, the ground is relatively humid all year round, and begonia mushrooms are often found in all seasons, as long as it does not snow, you can basically see it.

Lei Gong has a lot of, enough to eat a few meals.

The son was about to take Lei Gong and begonia mushrooms and leave, but was stopped by his father: "Let's pick some more green vegetables." ”

This sentence confused the child, and he looked left and right, and then again, except for the withered yellow weeds, the desolate trunks, and the occasional few trees with green leaves, there were no green vegetables, and he looked at his father with a confused expression.

My father picked up a handful of green moss on the ground and said, "This is it." ”

"You can eat this too?!" The father's words startled the child, thinking that the father was joking, but looking at the father's expression was really serious.

My father said, "The green part of the fresh moss is edible, and it is also rich in nutrients. Like Lei Gong, it has no taste in itself, and it needs to rely on the taste of other dishes, that is, it is stewed with meat, and the taste of moss is not much better, and the taste is not very good, it feels like eating grass. It's been a long time since we've eaten green vegetables, and we have to replenish some quickly to avoid getting sick. The green shallot is green, but there are not many parts that we can absorb. ”

Today's noon is a messy stew, the staple food in the pot is wild boar, and other messy wild vegetables are there, and the aroma is tangy.

Everyone used a killing knife to cut out four pairs of wooden chopsticks, picked up the meat and sent it to the mouth, oops, it was so fragrant, I hadn't eaten soup for several days, but just let out an exclamation and stopped.

It turned out that there was no salt in the dish, and a piece of salt that day was lost in the process of collapsing and escaping, and it was used up yesterday.

This is sad for everyone, where to find salt, no matter how good the food is without salt, it is tasteless. Father said he wanted to figure it out.

After speaking, he picked up the back pot and walked to the lake, put it at the bottom of the lake and drew a pot of water, drank it with his mouth, and said, "Here it is." ”

It turns out that my father has long noticed the peculiar geological structure here, this small lake has existed here for hundreds of millions of years, constantly dissolving the minerals in the surrounding rocks and soils, and the amount of water at the entrance and exit of this lake is very small, the water in the upper part can be replaced from time to time, the dissolved minerals are heavier than the water, and they must sink in the lower part of the water, and the fluidity is very small, so day after day, year after year, the salinity of the lower water is getting higher and higher, and there may even be particles of salt that are directly precipitated.

After two hours of testing to confirm that the salt water at the bottom of the lake was safe and non-toxic, they added some to the stew pot.

With salt, the deliciousness of this pot suddenly changed qualitatively, and everyone cried when they ate it, only shouting hot mouths.

After eating, my father thought that there should be a lot of salt that had been precipitated nearby, and if there were, he would take some with him and use it later.

There are three kinds of salt in the world.

One is sea salt, which uses tidal differences to keep seawater on shore and uses the sun to blast until the water has completely evaporated, washing out the shiny fine sandy ocean.

One is lake salt, mainly inland lakes, which dissolve a large amount of salt and then precipitate the salt from the water due to the slow evaporation of the lake water.

There is also a kind of well salt, the formation process is a bit similar to lake salt, but the water has been completely evaporated, and has been accumulated by the rock for a long time, forming a salt block, but the color of the salt is a little blue, so it is also called green salt.

What my father was looking for was salt from the well by the lake. My father's analysis was very correct, dozens of hoes went down, dug down about a meter in the rocks and miscellaneous soil, and saw large particles of green salt.

The next day, I had to set off to find another place.

By this time they were far from home, and in danger of getting lost, and had to go back, at least to the cave they had just used to get out.

So they decided to go to the top of the hill where they had stayed last time, and spend the night there, and then continue the day after tomorrow. After staying in the cave at the top of the mountain for one night, the next day they decided to pass through the collapse area and rush directly to the cave at the bottom of the pot, but standing on the top of the mountain and looking around, they couldn't find the direction at all, and they were in a hurry to run for their lives, and they couldn't remember which direction they ran from.

His father, who was still experienced, leaned into the dog's ear and said a few words, and pointed to the farthest point, and the dog wagged its tail and went down the hill.

Dogs have an amazing sense of smell and memory, and they can come home from far, far away places with their memory. The father and the children followed the dog, and they fell and carried them all the way to a ravine.

There they found a natural cave - behind a door-like waterfall.
