Living in the Wilderness Becomes Stronger

Chapter 58 It's so hard to find a vegetable
Xu Yi kept swinging his machete. After all, it was a dense forest with many plants and thorns.

If you don't have a machete, you have to bring engineers to shovel it out.

However, sapper shovels are not as useful as machetes.So, with the 18 chop, Xu Yi didn't use the sapper shovel much, but he would carry it with him.After all, sometimes a sapper shovel is more useful.

Xu Yi was crawling 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, vegetables must also keep up.

Therefore, Xu Yi's mission is more important this time.

Walking to a certain place, Xu Yi was attracted by a kind of plant.

"Hey, is this Houttuynia cordata?"

Houttuynia cordata is not only a vegetable, but also a herbal medicine.

Houttuynia cordata can effectively inhibit catarrhal bacteria, influenza bacillus, pneumococcus, staphylococcus aureus, etc., but it can be used to make plant antibiotics.

In addition, it can also improve immunity, diuretic and so on.

Xu Yi really didn't expect that there is such a plant as Houttuynia cordata in this world.

The taste of Houttuynia cordata is difficult for many people to accept, but for some people, it is indeed a rare delicacy.

Xu Yi had eaten Houttuynia cordata, and he didn't find it delicious, nor did he feel disgusted.

This is a 'vegetable' that can be eaten.

Xu Yi didn't know if Lu Ke would eat it or not, but he decided to pull out the Houttuynia cordata.

After cleaning up the messy plants around with a machete, Xu Yi began to pull up Houttuynia cordata.

The pieces of Houttuynia cordata made Xu Yi quite happy.

If Lu Ke could also accept the taste of Houttuynia cordata, then they would have a dish of vegetables.

Xu Yi pulled it out for half an hour, and it weighed about one or two catties when tied together, and then put it in his back basket.

Holding the machete tightly, Xu Yi continued to explore.

After the Houttuynia cordata was found, Xu Yi gained a lot of confidence.

Xu Yi also explored more carefully, unwilling to miss any kind of plant.

Because, they may all become a dish on the table.

"It's eleven o'clock so soon?" Xu Yi glanced at the time and said helplessly.

The area he explored was not very large, and it would actually take less than half an hour to walk back.

So Xu Yi turned his head and went back.

After all, going back too late will make Lu Ke worry.

When going back, Xu Yi quickened his pace a little, and he returned to the camp in only twenty minutes.

In the camp, Lu Ke has already started cooking lunch.

"Xu Yi, you're back. Let's drink some water first. I'll eat the fish after cooking." Seeing that Xu Yi was coming, Lu Ke's heart sank immediately.

Every time Chu Yi goes out alone, she is very worried.

Danger is everywhere, and accidents may happen at any time.

"Yeah." Xu Yi nodded, took off the pan, and continued, "I brought back some Houttuynia cordata, do you want to eat it?"

"There is Houttuynia cordata. Of course I ate it, and the taste is not bad." Lu Ke has indeed eaten Houttuynia cordata and said it can fight cancer. He has been eating it for a while.

"That's good. I'm still worried that you won't eat it." Xu Yi grinned happily. If the two of them can eat it, then they can have a stir-fry at noon today.

"I'll wash it, and I'll fry a bowl later." Xu Yi took the Houttuynia cordata out of the basket, and started to wash it.

"Xu Yi, there are even Houttuynia cordata here, so there must be other vegetables too?" Lu Ke looked at Xu Yi who was washing the Houttuynia cordata, and asked curiously.

To be honest, she wants to eat vegetables.

Cabbage, green vegetables, water spinach, eggplant, cucumber, whatever you choose is fine.

Thinking about it, my saliva almost dripped down.

"There should be, but it's hard to find. I searched for a few hours today, but I didn't find many places." Xu Yi hoped that every time he went out, he would gain something, and it doesn't matter if he spends more time.

"Shall we go with you next time?" Lu Ke felt that it would be better to find one person than two people.

"Okay, your luck has always been better than mine, maybe you can really meet serious vegetables." Xu Yi grinned, thinking that Lu Ke was the goddess of luck.

I went out yesterday and harvested salt and coconuts.

After he went out for half a day, he discovered Houttuynia cordata, but he didn't even find any plants suitable for making arrows with force.

In fact, Xu Yi really wanted to find a bamboo shooter, but he didn't get any results.

"Okay, it's cleaned up." Xu Yi didn't wash off all of it, only part of it.

Lu didn't quite believe Xu Yi's statement that he was lucky.

Can a lucky person get cancer?
In her opinion, Xu Yi was the lucky little prince.

By signing up with him, she will have the opportunity to explore this world together, and she will be able to temporarily escape the torment of illness.

After receiving the plump Houttuynia cordata, Lu Ke filled the fish fillets into a bowl.

There is a lack of oil, so we can only put some water to boil it, and then add a little salt to accompany it.Fried, there is no way to fry.

Not to mention that there is no oil, even this small steel pan is not suitable for frying.

"The fungus has just been boiled, I'll pick some." Xu Yi was not satisfied with just adding one dish, so he planned to harvest the fungus as well.

It has been a few days since the fungus moved back, and there are indeed many that can be picked.

Soon, Xu Yi came back with a bowl of fungus and washed them diligently.

Here, Lu Ke has cooked Houttuynia cordata and put it in a bowl.

"Come on, fungus." Xu Yi smiled and handed the washed fungus with a bowl to Lu Ke.

Lu Ke took the fungus and poured it into the pot.

"Zi"

The fungus made a sound when it came into contact with the pot, and soon there was an aroma.

"It's only a bowl of rice, otherwise two dishes and one soup, how perfect!"

Looking at the two bowls of dishes on the slate, Xu Yi couldn't help saying something.

"Xu Yi, do you think there is rice in this world?" Thinking of rice, Lu Ke also felt a little greedy.

She didn't think it was a happy thing to eat before, but now she thinks that a bowl of white rice is delicious even without any vegetables.

"It's hard to say. I naturally hope that there will be rice. Let alone rice, any kind of grains is fine." After all, to survive for 500 days, it is not enough to eat meat without the staple food.

The intestines and stomach of modern people are different from those of their ancestors, and there is no way to survive only by eating meat and fruits.

"It would be nice to have potatoes and sweet potatoes, which can also be used as staple food." Lu Ke also nodded in approval. After all, she has eaten meat for 9 days, and she also wants to have some staple food.

If she hadn't said anything all the time, she didn't know if she could last for 500 days.

Food is very important for survival.
