The Beginning of the System Chapter 13 Direction and Choice
The dopamine that transmits happiness has been consumed in an instant, so Feng Shiyan's happiness naturally did not last long.
The renewed hunger pangs soon brought him back to reality.
To put it bluntly, all he has ingested has been water.
Whether it is boiling rainwater or melt-in-your-mouth white fungus, although it can save a momentary hunger, it is undoubtedly no different from drinking water, just like drinking porridge in ordinary times, even if you drink a few more bowls, it will not be worth a bowl of rice, which can bring sufficient satiety.
Feng Shiyan was a little helpless, how could the toss just now seem to be useless in the end?
For a person who only has theoretical strength on paper, but has no practical experience, it is a bit fantastical to be rashly thrown into the forest to survive in the wild.
To put it bluntly, even the few white fungus harvested just now actually have a lot of luck in it.
Feng Shiyan doesn't want to eat some meat, of course he wants to!
As a lover of survival shows, when he sees the big fish and meat eaten by others when they survive in the wild, he will naturally have yearning for these aspects, and he will also imagine how he will kill in the wilderness and jungle......
But the reality is cruel: even if you want to fish and hunt, you must at least have some basic tools, and what he has is just a lighter.
Although he also has a lot of fishing and hunting methods in his head, it must be understood that as long as it is tried, it must be considered that the problem of fault tolerance must be considered, if it fails, and other sources of food are cut off, how will it survive for so long?
Feng Shiyan was a little depressed, and he knew that he urgently needed to adjust his mentality on the verge of collapse.
In order to keep himself from thinking nonsense, he began to reminisce about the wild survival programs in his memories, how those masters obtained food......
"Chicken-flavored, crunchy, and six times as much protein as beef......"
A famous quote from Bei Ye's program suddenly appeared in Feng Shiyan's mind.
In the show, whenever Bei Ye is eating some disgusting bugs or other raw food, this barrage will fill the entire screen.
Not to mention whether the actual nutrition of those things is so rich, it may be more of a psychological construction for yourself - although this thing looks difficult to eat, it is rich in protein and the like, which is actually a good survival food......
Of course, the picture sense of this scene is still very strong, and Feng Shiyan can even think of the scene where Bei Ye stuffed a fat insect into his mouth, grinning and chewing at the same time.
Feng Shiyan was a little unexpected, especially if he had to substitute himself into that picture, he was a little panicked, but it seemed that he had no other way out now......
……
If he wanted to find the food that Bei Ye ate raw, Feng Shiyan didn't have the slightest certainty.
Not to mention whether he can find the corresponding variety, even if he finds it, how to obtain it and how to deal with it, he doesn't know anything. But fortunately, as a well-known chef, he still has a certain say in the consumption of some insects.
Locusts, for example, may be an abhorrent scourge to farmers, but one thing to say is that when fried, its flavor is quite unique.
There are also cicada chrysalis, in fact, there are precedents for entering vegetables in many places, and the nutritional value even exceeds that of eggs.
Another example is the protagonist in the night markets around the country - fried scorpions, fried centipedes and the like, which are relatively common cooking with insects.
It's just that these common ingredients mentioned above, in this forest, Feng Shiyan has not found any trace of them for the time being.
"What else?"
Feng Shiyan fell into deep thought, and suddenly, an ingredient that he might have easier access to slowly came to his mind.
Thinking of this kind of bug, Feng Shiyan couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
His journey to survive in the wild seems to be connected with Yun Province and bamboo, and the insect that comes to his mind is the bamboo insect.
If you want to say it or not, Yun Province is really a magical place, in addition to the bamboo rice and mushroom kingdom mentioned above, the insect-related cuisine also has to be said.
Among the eighteen monsters in Yunnan Province, one of them is called "three mosquitoes and one dish", which may sound a little scary, but it is actually an intuitive commentary on Yunnan insect cuisine.
Of course, many people may wonder, how can there be such a big mosquito?
Of course, there are also many annotations on this aspect: one refers to the long-legged mosquito in Yun Province, with a huge physique, and the long legs are stretched out and can even span a plate; There are also dragonfly larvae, which are very delicious when fried...... Of course, there are others, such as bee yong, flying ants and the like in the use of dishes.
These may be found in other regions, but they are certainly not as prevalent as in Yun Province.
And bamboo insects are the most typical dishes in insect cuisine.
Everyone knows that the hot pot in Sichuan Province is good, but many people don't know that in fact, the hot pot in Yunnan Province is sour, fragrant and spicy, and it also has its unique flavor.
Recalling that when Yun Province hot pot was popular, Feng Shiyan was also addicted to its deliciousness for a while, but this limelight quickly passed, and now there are not many people who want to find an authentic Yun Province hot pot on the street.
may be a bit far away, compared to the taste of hot pot, in fact, what left a deeper impression on Feng Shiyan was the dishes about insects in the hot pot restaurant.
Among the many insect dishes, fried bamboo insects are undoubtedly Feng Shiyan's one pick.
Although this dish is extremely simple, deep-frying is undoubtedly one of the best ways to deal with bamboo insects.
The crunchy taste, full of the aroma of oil in his mouth, makes Feng Shiyan still unforgettable.
He even went to the Internet to buy those quick-frozen bamboo insects, trying to research other dishes about bamboo insects, but after all, there were no fresh bamboo insects freshly fried delicious.
……
So, that bamboo forest has become Feng Shiyan's biggest bargaining chip at this time, although Feng Shiyan clearly knows which bamboos may have bamboo insects, and then how to get them, but there is an insurmountable wall between theory and practice after all, maybe there are no bamboo insects in the bamboo here?
But now that I've thought of it, I'm going to have to give it a try.
Thinking of the high yield of bamboo insects, once there is a harvest, basically there is no need to worry about the food problem in the next few days, and Feng Shiyan can also have the courage to practice the capture of some other prey, and continue to explore this vast jungle to complete the task of survival in the wild.
Of course, there are still enough preparations to be made in advance, and among them, there are two things that are necessary: one is the tool used to chisel the bamboo, and this one is ready-made, and the stone used to cut the bamboo at that time is still quietly staying next to the "harpoon".
In addition, it is a tool for loading bamboo insects, but this is not difficult to solve, at that time, in order to receive rainwater, Feng Shiyan actually prepared a lot of bamboo tubes there, but he didn't have time to take the time to polish, and many of them are still semi-finished products, but fortunately, they can be used as long as they are slightly processed.
It's just that it's not very convenient to bring it, although the bamboo forest is not far away, but it's also a little far away.
In the end, Feng Shiyan decided to tear a few strips of cloth from his pants that were about to fall off, knot them and connect them into long threads, and then tie several bamboo tubes in turn and tie them around his waist, which can be used as storage tools for the time being.
Although it is estimated that there is no way to transport too much, it is necessary to be in a hurry, and at most it will be good to transport it a few more times and deal with it a few more times.
Ready for everything, Feng Shiyan stood at the entrance of the cave again.
He didn't know what he looked like now, but he was embarrassed to think that he was holding a tattered stick in one hand and a stone in the other, and that he was covered in rags and a few bamboo tubes tied around his waist.
But if it's all about survival, there's nothing to say.
I can only hope that everything will go well next, Feng Shiyan prayed silently......
