Chapter 258 257. Taro Lotus
Little Secret leads the way, and the main focus is unreliable.
Although there were no branches and twigs to hinder her, it was not easy to push the books aside with a long stick. But Huaiyu took the initiative. It had only been half an hour since they had circled the mountain wall, and they had already stopped several times.
The first time was when Huaiyu asked him to cut down two shots of Dripping Water Guanyin.
To this day, the long and thick pole connected to the huge leaves is still swinging behind the basket. It swings forward from time to time, which can be regarded as blocking a lot of sunlight.
Even Zhou Qian didn't know if the toxicity of this water-dropping Guanyin had mutated, so he had to guard against dripping water from the leaves above his head. He wanted to cut off the leaves and throw them away, but Huaiyu was still unwilling.
The second time was now, because he was ordered to pluck a handful of wild garlic again.
Okay, now who can tell whether it’s an outing or an exploration?
The wild garlic was different from the green garlic in his vegetable patch. The leaves and rhizomes were both thin and small. He cleaned it up clumsily for a long time. When he looked up, he saw Huaiyu lying there trying to build a small stove with stones. , quickly threw away the garlic in his hand:
"I'll do it, I'll do it, you go and choose the food."
She also carried her outdoor multifunctional pot in her backpack. She should have known that it would come in handy, but she didn't expect that it would be used at noon.
Also putting away the vegetables, the small handful of wild garlic was quickly peeled off in Huaiyu's hands, and then briefly washed in a multi-function pot.
There was no other way. They were not allowed to touch the water in the wild. They only brought three pots with them, so they had to save some money.
Here, Zhou Qian had quickly found suitable stones to build a small stove, just enough to hold the multi-functional pot, and the hot flames had risen underneath.
He hesitated for a moment: "Do you still need to light a fire to boil water if you only have this wild garlic?"
The water they brought was meant to be boiled.
Unexpectedly, Huaiyu took out the two thick dripping Guanyin poles from his backpack and said, "We will have another taro pole at noon! This is the taro pole."
Zhou Qian:…
"That's a taro!" He said sarcastically, "I thought it was the Dripping Water Guanyin, it looks too similar."
Huaiyu glanced at him, and unexpectedly remembered the rugged way the other party put everything into a pot when washing dishes, and shook his head and sighed:
"Forget it! Just wait and eat."
After saying that, he looked at his palm again: "It's fine, I'm not allergic."
"Are you still allergic?" Zhou Qian frowned: "It's okay not to eat. Didn't we bring cakes and water? There are also raspberries that we didn't finish in the morning."
A touch of salt and chopped green onion are added to the pancake. Considering that it is eaten cold, no meat is added, but if it is paired with nutrient solution, it can also fill the stomach.
"No." Huai Yu said lightly: "You have been taking nutrient solution for too long. Last time you were in the hospital, the doctor said that your gastrointestinal atrophy was worse than others, and he asked you to eat more!"
According to the doctor's words, eating more may not necessarily allow Zhou Qian to take in enough nutrients that his body needs, but it can ensure the normal functioning of his gastrointestinal tract and prevent problems with other organs.
After all, the internal organs of the human body affect the whole body. If you eat too much nutrient solution, the problem will be very serious.
Zhou Qian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "That doesn't mean you have to cook food when you go up the mountain. If you just say it, won't I eat an extra portion?"
"That's not okay!" Huaiyu said very seriously: "If you are not happy when eating, it will be difficult to be happy with other things! Brother Zhou Qian, you have a strong taste and don't like to eat a lot of seasonings. I didn't even dare to make pancakes. Add something—but I brought chili, ginger, garlic, oil and salt, so I can make spicy fried taro for lunch!”
"This biscuit should be quite delicious." Zhou Qian couldn't tell how he felt at the moment, but he watched Huaiyu quickly use a knife to peel off the hard skin on the side of the pole, and he couldn't help but stretched out his hand: "I Come and peel it.”
"No need." Huaiyu avoided him: "I must have been used to doing these things before, so I am not very sensitive to this pole. If you haven't touched it before, your palms may feel itchy."
"Besides, this is quick - Brother Zhou Qian, don't throw away the water for washing the onions just now. Add some more to cook. These poles will be blanched later. Save some water."
Zhou Qian's mood became more complicated. At this moment, he saw that Huaiyu had begun to peel off the old skin on the outside of the taro stalk, and sighed: "Don't go to such trouble next time, just dig the taro out, and you can bury it directly in the fire." Roast and eat.”
In this way, there will be no sticking allergies, and secondly, it will save these troubles.
Huaiyu raised his head and looked at him, suddenly curious: "Brother Zhou Qian, I always thought that when you go on missions in the wilderness, you will use local materials, but it turns out you don't?"
She raised her hand to gesture to the taro stem in her hand: "This type of taro is delicious, but the taro at the bottom is too small and has many tendons, so no one eats it."
Zhou Qian laughed: "It seems that I am still not as good as you in the wild - we used to have wild survival training, but after the disaster, all the knowledge we learned was overturned."
"The iron rule when going out on missions now is that you are never allowed to use local materials at will."
Just like before he chopped the taro leaves, he would not only use a long stick to pluck them, but also carefully explore the ground. If he had not witnessed the magic of Huaiyu, he would never easily explore such a large area of "Drip Water Guanyin".

Huai Yu's eyes were filled with deep sympathy for a moment - they couldn't use local materials. No wonder they could only drink nutrient solution or eat compressed dry food every time they went on a mission.
However, even if you can get local ingredients, I am afraid that the ones that can be obtained will be very unpalatable, and the delicious ones will need to be fought hard.
She couldn't help but feel proud again: "Look at this taro pole, the two ones I pointed out to you. They thought the two side poles were not good-looking, so they didn't plan to get them - Brother Zhou Qian, have you noted the location?"
"If they want to improve their figure after a while, we can still come and cut them."
Got it.
This is actually a scheduled trip to pick up the goods!
Zhou Qian nodded numbly: "Okay."
Before speaking, the water in the pot was already boiling, and Huaiyu cut the taro stems he had peeled into small pieces—the taro leaves were used on a simple chopping board.
Then blanch the water in a pot, wait for the water to boil, and then roll up the taro leaves into a funnel shape and put a plastic bag underneath.
When Zhou Qian listened to the instructions, he poured down all the not-so-hot water and taro stalks in the pot. The taro leaves on the top layer perfectly acted as a funnel, and the water collected in the plastic bag could be used to clean the pot later.
Even though Zhou Qian had anticipated this set of water-saving and resource-saving combos, he couldn't help but be amazed at this moment.
The next step is to heat the pan, cold oil, stir-fry the dried chili and wild garlic in the oil pan until the aroma is released, and finally pour the drained taro sprouts in, add salt and stir-fry briefly...
Although it is still not completely delicious, the hot, spicy and salty aroma in the air has begun to waft.
Update one.
