Chapter 276: Two Sides
Tropical trees, due to abundant sunlight and abundant rain, grow tall and large. The huge canopy of trees, like a giant fan, can form a shadow even under the scorching sun, bringing a piece of coolness.
The shrubs at the foot of the mountain are verdant, the wild grasses grow densely, and the leaves are verdant and fat. Wild flowers with unknown names bloom freely and exude a refreshing fragrance.
Some bees and butterflies are flying among the flowers, the former collecting honey for a lifetime, and the latter feeding for a full day. There is no superiority or inferiority, just a difference in lifestyle. Bees work together to produce long-lasting food, store it, and work hard for the development and growth of the whole population. Butterflies are constantly growing themselves and working hard to reproduce their offspring.
Wang Tong and the others set up a boiler on an open mountain area and began to cook food. When you're away from home, you can't be as particular as you are at home. Eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, as well as coarse tea and light rice, is a complete life. In terms of nutritional value, they all meet the basic needs of the body, differing in taste, special beneficial substances.
There were bubbling blisters in the iron pot, and there were cleaned pheasant pieces and mushrooms inside, and cleaned wild vegetables were placed next to them. Wang Tong tore open the stew packet, cleaned the stew, and put it in, and soon the rich aroma came out.
On the other side, Ma Jia was holding a freshly cut wooden shovel and cooking a braised hare. The snow-white rabbit plate oil is cut into small slices and slowly fried in a hot pan to remove the fat and turn into a crispy oil residue. Add star anise, fennel, pepper and other spices and rabbit meat, stir-fry over high heat until fragrant, then add enough water, cover and simmer.
Some soldiers were grilling fish, flipping it and sprinkling it with salt, thirteen spices, sesame seeds and other spices.
Some are much simpler, clean the fish, put it directly in the pot, simmer it over high heat, look at the milky white soup, sprinkle with salt, wild ginger, wild onions, wild vegetables, and the fragrance of vegetables suppresses the fishy smell.
Everyone's staple food is self-heating box lunches or compressed dry food, as well as canned meat, canned fish, and canned fruits. These game meats are a beneficial supplement to make the food consumed more nutritionally balanced.
Seeing that the pheasant and mushroom soup was about to be ready, Wang Tong put in the vegetables, and when the soup began to boil again, he scooped it into the lunch box with a spoon and tasted it. Fresh and delicious, salty and light!
Wang Daodao: "Okay! You can eat it!" He scooped one for Hu Yunfei with the lunch box first, handed it to her, and said with a smile: "It's a little hot, don't burn it." β
Hu Yunfei smiled and reached out to take it and put it aside. Take a small bite of self-heating rice, sandwiched between canned beef, vegetables, fruits, and pheasant and mushroom soup.
Ma Jia handed over the lunch box and said, "I want to taste the dishes made by the king himself! β
Wang Tong smiled: "Don't regret it, if it's not delicious, you have to finish it, you can't waste it!"
Ma Jia said: "Your lord, you can't eat alone, this pot of chicken soup smells very good! It looks delicious." β
Wang Daodao: "If you want to eat it, you have to exchange your red braised rabbit meat!" said yes, but he scooped up the chicken nuggets and chicken soup with a spoon and poured them into Ma Jia's lunch box.
Ma Jia said: "Aren't we a little slower and haven't done a good job? β
Seeing that the king had no shelf, the other soldiers did not mind sharing the food with others, and they did the same, some with grilled fish, some with roasted birds' eggs, and came to exchange with Wang Tong for pheasant and mushroom soup.
Wang Tong collected a few pieces of food, put them on the clean banana leaves, and excused himself from eating them. Seeing that the pheasant and mushroom soup in the pot was getting less and less, Wang Tong hurriedly scooped one for himself. With the arrival of the soldiers, a pot of pheasant and mushroom soup was quickly divided.
Ma Jia smashed his mouth, gave a thumbs up, and said, "It's delicious! The king's cooking skills are also so high, I'm afraid the imperial chef can't make such a delicious thing!"
The other soldiers who were given the chicken soup protected the chicken soup with one hand and gave a thumbs up with the other, looking deeply sympathetic.
This made the soldiers who had not been given the chicken soup psychologically unbalanced, and secretly annoyed: Sure enough, I have fast hands and slow hands! I have enough thick skin to eat, but I can't eat with thin skin! At that time, I should have been bold, this is the chicken soup made by the king himself! When I am old, I can also boast to my children and grandchildren how brilliant I was back then, but I have eaten the chicken soup made by the king himself.
Soon the red braised rabbit meat was also ready. Ma Jia first shoveled two large portions for Wang Tong and Hu Yunfei. Then he laughed and joked with a group of soldiers, and finished sharing a pot of red stewed hares. Ma Jia's cooking skills are also good, with the level of a three-star chef, which makes the soldiers happy again, and it is rare to eat such a delicious meal in ordinary times.
Hu Yunfei ate the food first with a small amount of food, and then pushed the rest of the food to Wang Tong with a smile. Wang Tong was not pretentious, and ate it elegantly and quickly.
After eating, clean up the site and bury the ashes. After washing the lunch boxes, forks, and spoons, the group did not set off immediately, but walked around the neighborhood and rested for an hour.
Hu Yunfei said: "If we eat wild animals, will it have a bad effect?"
Wang Daodao: "No. Now it is forbidden to eat wild animals because they are frightened by the new coronavirus, and they believe that wild animals have brought this terrible zoonotic disease. This overreaction was made, and it was overkill.
Many countries across the globe eat wild animals as a way of food source. You are naΓ―ve to think that if a country does not eat wild animals, it will create a pure land! As long as other countries in the world are still eating, the chain of infection will not be interrupted, that is, wild animals - people - people, or animals (including pets) - people - people.
The greater the variety of food sources, the less pressure there is to share with a particular food. The whole food selection circle can run more smoothly and more balanced!
Rather than waiting for the wildlife to flood and cause trouble, it is better to eat some of the wild animals now and keep them within reasonable limits.
What do you think is the difference between a hare and a rabbit? What is the difference between a pheasant and a chicken? What is the difference between a duck and a duck?
Hu Yunfei said: "In fact, they are still the same species, but there is a difference between domesticated and undomesticated, they are all rabbits, ducks, and chickens. Diseases that can be transmitted by wild animals can also be transmitted by domesticated animals. The ban on the consumption of wild animals may be a way to reduce the number of infected people in the first place, and I think that's probably what they think. β
Wang Daodao: "Perhaps! The ban on the consumption of wild animals is based on the human side, which reduces the frequency and time of human contact with wild animals. However, if wild animals do not have the greatest natural predator, humans, they will be overflowing. Their huge numbers will cause them to carry more types and quantities of viruses, forming a huge virus base that roams around. In this way, once they enter the human life circle, they will cause an even larger source of infection. This is equivalent to intercepting the flood water in the dam and increasing the height of the dam until the dam can no longer withstand it, and it explodes in a major flood explosion, forming a catastrophe that collapses for thousands of miles.
Let's not have the idea of thinking once and for all that if we don't provoke the virus, the virus won't provoke us. Wild animals are an important link in the ecological chain, and if they are not treated correctly, they will be overrun and form an ecological disaster, which will be like dominoes collapsing, forming an ecological collapse.
Rather than allowing wild animals to flood and form a huge mobile virus base, it is better to dance with wolves and let the virus exist in a small area, even if it is prevented, discovered, and treated, and constantly study the transmission source, transmission route, and mutation process of the virus, and find out ways to cure and resist it, including defense, isolation, vaccines, medicine, and so on.
Spotting danger and avoiding it is not the way to do it. There are some dangers, the more you dodge, the more dangerous it will be in the future. Only in the initial stage of danger can we bravely face it, solve it, and find a way to avoid greater losses.
We don't have to solve the problem by sacrificing food choices and increasing food pressure. Wild animals can carry germs, and we can have a professional team hunt them. Then let the professional quarantine, after passing the pass, it is a safe source of meat. It can be sterilized by ultraviolet light, high temperature sterilization, chemical sterilization, etc., and after these treatments, it is also qualified and safe food.
If the consumption of wild animals is prohibited, voles, bamboo rats and rats may be flooded in one year, hares and sparrows in two years, wild boars in three years, and ......
At that time, it will not be a question of reduced food production, and the virus will come back again. At that time, the virus did not scatter troops to fight, but group armies appeared in the field of vision of mankind, and they were out of control. β
Hu Yunfei said: "Now the protection of animals is the general trend, your idea is really different! But what you said can indeed happen!"
Wang Daodao: "I don't reject the protection of rare animals, but I reject overprotection without principle! Disasters are sometimes self-inflicted, and we cannot create a bigger disaster at the same time in order to eliminate one disaster. β
Hu Yunfei said: "When the time comes, some people will say, "Look at it, you don't eat wild animals, wild animals are overflowing, and the virus outbreak is caused by you! Human beings continue to march into the natural world, and contact with wild animals will definitely be more and more frequent and longer." The chances of contracting the virus are also increasing, and this is not transferred by human will. How can we prevent the virus from causing mass contagion?"
Wang Daodao: "We should keep wild animals within a reasonable range, do a good job of protection, increase small-scale and multi-frequency contacts, and strengthen our understanding and research on them. Use small-area controllability to detect large-scale defenses.
However, it needs to be hunted by professionals, then quarantined, sterilized, and then sold in the market. Just like pigs, cattle and sheep, etc., a complete industrial chain is formed.
At the same time, artificial cultivation and reproduction cannot stop there. Artificial cultivation can have more disinfection and sterilization work, and less chance of infection. But this does not mean that they will not be infected, and they must also be quarantined, sterilized, etc. β
Hu Yunfei said: "The virus is very difficult to prevent because it is small. In addition, there are various transmission methods, including airborne transmission (such as influenza virus), contact transmission, droplet transmission, fecal-oral transmission, blood transmission, mosquito transmission, food transmission (such as norovirus), animal transmission, etc., human beings are really unable to prevent it!"
Wang Channel: "In fact, discovering the virus, looking for drugs, and developing vaccines are just passive protection. However, this kind of protection is more effective for most people and can have immediate results. Enhancing one's physical fitness will improve the body's immunity and produce antibodies when the virus invades, which is positive protection. However, this method takes a long time and is not necessarily effective for a long time, and even if it is effective against a few viruses, it may not be effective for all viruses. Unless the human body undergoes qualitative changes and forms an extraordinary body, it can resist all viral diseases, which is what people often say is invulnerable!
Viruses are divided into plant viruses, animal viruses and bacterial viruses. In terms of microscopic composition, there are single-stranded RNA viruses, double-stranded RNA viruses, single-stranded DNA viruses and double-stranded DNA viruses.
Generally speaking, the virus survives outside the body for a variety of lengths and is cold and heat tolerant, and the higher the temperature, the more difficult it is for the virus to survive. In humid environments, the virus is more likely to attach to surfaces and survive, while in dry environments, the virus can survive much shorter times but travel longer distances.
Therefore, the fire attribute ability or exercise is actually a good skill for anti-virus and home. Of course, any kind of exercise or ability, cultivated to a high level, can change one's physique and achieve the effect of enhancing resistance to viruses. β
