209 Baked potatoes
Lin Yan didn't speak, urging Huang Ying to take her over quickly.
Huang Ying hurriedly went to find the discoverer, Huang Ning.
The thing was discovered by Huang Ning, she and Huang Ying are a family, and they are also a member of the military department, so they gave it to Huang Ying and asked her to take it to Lin Yan for identification.
The thing was found not far away, and Huang Ning walked about thirty meters with a few people before arriving at the place.
Look at the plants that are more than a meter tall, the dark green leaves are the size of an adult's palm, and the stalks are as thick as a thumb, shining in the light.
Lin Yan took a deep breath, walked to the nearest plant and squatted down, took out a shovel and began to dig a pit.
The others didn't know what she wanted to do, so Huang Ying asked, "Lin Yan, what is this, what are you digging?" ”
Lin Yan waved the shovel, the soil flew, and soon saw the lumps buried in the ground, and when she finished planing, she dug out more than a dozen. The big ones are as big as fists, and the small ones hang on the root system.
Lan Yue squatted down and took it in her hand to look at it carefully, "Can this thing be eaten?" ”
Lin Yan nodded and said happily: "This is a potato, also known as a potato or an artichoke, which is high yield and easy to grow, and is an important food. The dug potatoes have not grown yet, and when they are ripe, they must be bigger. ”
"Then let's try it." Huang Ying hurriedly squatted down to pick potatoes.
Looking at the remaining six potatoes, Lin Yan endured and said, "Wait for them to mature before digging them, it's enough for us to dig such a nest." ”
"It's not enough." Lan Yue looked at the potatoes dug out of the hands of several people, and the big and small ones were not spared.
"Just take a bite. When the potatoes grow, we dig them up and bring them back to keep the seeds. If you eat it now, you won't have to eat it later. ”
Of course, Lin Yan knew that the potatoes dug up were not enough, but for the sake of the future, he couldn't do it all.
Write down the location, mark it prominently, and the potatoes will ripen in three months, and they will come back to dig when they return.
A new kind of food discovery, everyone gathered around the fire curiously, staring at the potatoes buried in the ashes, and after a while, the aroma of baked potatoes wafted out.
Taking a sharp breath, Huang Ying said, "It's so fragrant, how long will it take to be baked?" ”
"Come on, wait another ten minutes."
The fragrance is getting stronger and stronger, making people itch, and everyone can't wait to taste it, and it must be delicious when it smells so fragrant.
It may be too fragrant, and the resting Sarudai and Saruji suddenly opened their eyes and went to the fire in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that the big guy squeezed everyone away, Lan Xing suddenly felt that such fragrant potatoes probably didn't have their share.
He was not the only one who thought so, with the big appetite of Ape and Ape Er, such a small potato was not enough for them to eat.
Lin Yan and Huang Ying glanced at each other and saw despair in each other's eyes. I didn't think of it just now, find a place farther away to bake potatoes.
It was an absolute mistake to do it under the noses of Ape Dai and Saruji.
In a hurry, Lin Yan came to the front of the ape and the second ape, and flattered: "This is a potato, I'll take you to see what the potato looks like." ”
"The ape is big, the ape is two, if you want to eat potatoes, you have to know what the potatoes look like. With your skills, you will definitely find more. ”
The ape stared at the fire and didn't want to leave.
Ape Er looked at Lin Yan, and then at the fire, hesitating.
Lin Yan made persistent efforts, "The potatoes still need to be roasted for a while before they are cooked, and those few are not enough to eat." If you want something delicious, come with me. ”
Looking at the people around him, Lin Yan promised: "They don't eat, they all keep it and wait for us to come back to eat." ”
Under continuous persuasion, Ape Da and Ape Er were still indifferent, Lin Yan gritted his teeth, pulled one in one hand, and pulled them away with all his strength.
It may be that seeing Lin Yan working so hard, Ape Da and Ape Er finally showed mercy and followed her.
When they left, Lan Xing's heart was relieved, "Don't surround it, it's not our share." ”
"Alas, it's so fragrant, but it smells and can't eat it, and it's even more torturous."
"I hope Lin Yan and they can find more potatoes for me to taste."
Half an hour later, Ape Da came back with Lin Yan on his shoulder, and Ape Er followed closely behind, carrying a sack full of it.
Huang Ying asked in surprise: "These are all potatoes, where did you find them?" ”
Lin Yan straightened his messy hair, and said indescribably: "I ran out for five or six miles, and in a mountain col, it was all potatoes. Saruda and Saruji went out of the horse, and I only followed to pick up potatoes and put them in sacks. Thankfully, I took a sack with me when I left. ”
Thinking back to the digging of the soil by Sarudai and Saruji Nalisuo, as soon as they went down, there was a small dirt pit on the ground, and round potatoes were sprinkled all over the ground.
Lin Yan followed to pick up the potatoes, and in just ten minutes, a sack full of potatoes was full. There was really nowhere to put it, and they couldn't bring it back, so they came back.
She had no doubt that with enough sacks, Sarudai and Saruji would be able to gouge out all the potatoes in the col.
Huang Ying smiled: "No matter what the process is, the result is very good." With a sack, everyone can eat potatoes. ”
"yes. The col was overgrown with potatoes, a large slice, and I would dig them up when I was done. ”
Huang Ying blinked, "Is this a surprise?" "Before, they couldn't drive Ape Da and Sape Two, but today they succeeded.
Lin Yan smiled and nodded, "Let's go, go bake potatoes, boil water in an iron pot, and boil potatoes delicious." It's a pity that there is no oil, and fried potatoes are not bad. ”
They brought enough hemp seed oil to save a little and last for three or four months. But who knew that halfway met Saruda and Saruji, since they had eaten fried meat and barbecue, the consumption of oil accelerated sharply, and the oil was exhausted in half a month.
After eating the potatoes for an hour, Lin Yan and the others kept swallowing their saliva as they watched the ape and the two apes eat with great satisfaction.
Finally, it was their turn to wait until Sarudai and Saruji had eaten enough and walked away.
In the aroma of baked potatoes, tormented and tortured for so long, Lin Yan felt that if it continued like this, she would have to rob it.
Because of the fierceness of Ape and Ape Er, she pressed her heart that was about to move, and she couldn't bear it anymore at this moment, so she dug out a few black balls from the fire, grabbed one and began to peel the skin.
Her left and right hands were tossing back and forth, but she was reluctant to throw away the black balls in her hands.
Peel off the charred skin, revealing a clear and soft inside, the fragrance is even more domineering, and when you bite down, your hot tongue hurts.
Soft and fragrant, Lin Yan was so moved that he was about to cry. This taste, she thought about it day and night, and finally ate it in her mouth today.
Unlike Lin Yan's touch, everyone else was eating potatoes for the first time. It's different from anything they've eaten before, and they can't even swallow it.
Everyone was so busy stuffing food into their mouths that no one bothered to speak for a while.
Only one bottom of the sack of potatoes remained, and most of it went into the stomachs of Ape and Ape II, and they ate less than a fifth of them.
It's delicious, and when it's done, they look at each other and laugh.
I was so busy eating that I didn't bother with the burnt potato skins, and my faces were black, and my hands were as black as baked potatoes.
