Chapter 58 It's Hard to Find Vegetables
Xu Yi kept slashing his machete. After all, it was a dense forest, with many plants and thorns growing.
If there is no machete, you have to bring the engineers to shovel it out.
However, the engineer shovel is not as useful as the machete. Therefore, after 18 chopping, Xu Yi did not use the engineer shovel, but he would carry it with him. After all, sometimes the engineer shovel is more useful.
Xu Yi was drilling around in the forest, looking at the trees and the ground from time to time.
After all, he needs to find wild vegetables.
Eating meat alone is not enough, and vegetables must also keep up.
Therefore, Xu Yi's task this time is more important.
When he walked to a place, Xu Yi was attracted by a plant.
"Hey, is this Houttuynia cordata?"
Houttuynia cordata is not only a vegetable, but also a herb.
Houttuynia cordata can effectively inhibit cataracococcus, influenzae, pneumococcal, Staphylococcus aureus, etc., but this can be used to make plant antibiotics.
In addition, it can also improve immunity, diuretics and other effects.
Xu Yi really didn't expect that there was a plant like Houttuynia cordata in this world.
The taste of Houttuynia cordata is acceptable to many people, but for some people, it is indeed a rare delicacy.
Xu Yi has eaten Houttuynia cordata, but he didn't think it tastes so delicious, nor did he feel disgusted.
This is a kind of 'vegetable' that can be eaten.
Xu Yi didn't know if Lu Ke would eat it, but he decided to pull back the Houttuynia cordata.
After cleaning up the messy plants around with a machete, Xu Yi began to pull up Houttuynia cordata.
Xu Yi was quite happy about the large slices of Houttuynia cordata.
If Lu Ke can also accept the taste of Houttuynia cordata, then they have a vegetable dish.
Xu Yi pulled it out for half an hour, tied it up to about one or two pounds, and then put it in his backpack.
Holding the machete tightly, Xu Yi continued to explore.
After the search for Houttuynia cordata, Xu Yi had greater confidence.
Xu Yi's exploration has become more detailed and he is unwilling to miss any plant.
Because, they can all become a dish on the dining table.
"It's eleven o'clock so soon?" Xu Yi glanced at the time and said helplessly.
The area he explored was not very big, and it took less than half an hour to walk back.
So Xu Yi turned around and went back.
After all, it would be worrying if Lu Ke was too late.
When he went back, Xu Yi accelerated his pace and in just over twenty minutes he returned to the camp.
In the camp, Lu Ke has already started preparing to cook lunch.
"Xu Yi, I'm back. Let's drink some water first. I'll put the fish in the pot and eat it." Lu Ke's heart immediately fell when he saw Xu Yi coming.
Every time Chu Yi goes out alone, she is very worried.
Dangers are everywhere, and accidents may occur at any time.
"Yes." Xu Yi nodded, took off the basket, and then said, "I picked a little Houttuynia cordata and came back. Do you eat it?"
"There is actually Houttuynia cordata. Of course I ate it, and the taste is OK." Lu Ke did eat Houttuynia cordata and said it can fight cancer. I have been eating it for a while.
"That's good, I'm still worried that you won't eat it." Xu Yi grinned happily. Both of them said they could eat it, so they could stir-fry one at noon today.
"I'll wash it, stir-fry a bowl later." Xu Yi took Houttuynia cordata out of his backpack and washed it happily.
"Xu Yi, there are even Houttuynia cordata here, so there must be other vegetables, right?" Lu Ke looked at Xu Yi who washed Houttuynia cordata and asked curiously.
To be honest, she wants to eat.
Cabbage, vegetables, water spinach, eggplant, cucumber, whatever you want is good.
Thinking of it, saliva was almost dripping.
"It should be because there is one, but it's hard to find. I have been looking for a few hours today, but I haven't found many places." Xu Yi hopes that every time he goes out, it doesn't matter if he spends more time.
"Let's go with you next time?" Lu Ke felt that it would be better than two of them to find one person.
"Okay, you have always been better luck than me. Maybe you can really meet serious vegetables." Xu Yi grinned, thinking that Lu Ke was the little goddess of luck.
I went out yesterday and harvested salt and coconut.
After he went out for a long time, he discovered Houttuynia cordata, and he did not even find plants suitable for making arrows with force.
In fact, Xu Yi really wanted to find someone to make bamboo, but he didn't get any gains.
"Okay, wash it clean." Xu Yi did not wash it all off, only washed part of it.
Lu didn't believe Xu Yi's statement that he was lucky.
Can people with good luck get cancer?
In her opinion, Xu Yi is the lucky little prince.
Only by signing up with him can she have the opportunity to explore the world together and temporarily get rid of the torture of illness.
After taking one of Houttuynia cordata that was very plump, Lu Ke put all the fillets into a bowl.
If there is no oil, I can only add some water and boil it, and then add some salt to accompany it. If you stir-fry, there is no way to stir-fry.
Not to mention the oil is gone, even this small steel pan is not suitable for stir-frying.
"I have just cooked a stack of fungus, so I'll pick some." Xu Yi was not satisfied with adding only one dish, so he was going to harvest the fungus for a while.
It has been a while since the fungus has been moved back, and there are indeed many that can be picked.
Soon, Xu Yi picked a bowl of black fungus and washed it diligently.
Here, Lu Ke had cooked Houttuynia cordata and put it in a bowl.
"Come on, the fungus." Xu Yi smiled and handed the fungus to Lu Ke with a bowl.
Lu Ke took the fungus and poured it into the pot.
"Spit"
After the fungus and the pot came into contact, a sound came, and soon the fragrance came.
"It's just a bowl of rice, otherwise two dishes and one soup will be perfect!"
Looking at the two bowls of dishes on the stone slab, Xu Yi couldn't help but say something.
"Xu Yi, do you think there is rice in this world?" Lu Ke was also a little greedy when he thought of rice.
In the past, she didn't think it was a happy thing to have food, but now she felt that it would be very delicious even if she didn't use any vegetables to eat.
"It's hard to say this. I naturally hope that there will be rice. Not to mention rice, grains and cereals, any kind is good." After all, if you want to survive for 500 days, it's not okay to eat meat without staple food.
The stomach and intestines of modern people are different from their ancestors, and they can no longer survive by eating meat, drinking, and eating fruits.
"It would be nice if you had potatoes and sweet potatoes, they could also be used as staple food." Lu Ke nodded with great approval. After all, she had eaten meat for 9 days, so she also wanted to have some staple food.
If she had never been talking, she wouldn't know if she could last for 500 days.
Food is really important for survival.
