Cosmic bosses start from collecting trash

Chapter 134 Amaranth Cake

Xiao Ze started to prepare breakfast after washing up.

The road ahead is long and difficult.

In case of bears and tigers.

Xiao Ze didn't think he could fight back against adult bears like the protagonist played by Xiao Li in The Revenant.

He can still try to touch the leopard.

Bears and tigers should stop dreaming.

If it doesn't work, try climbing a tree.

Even if you die, you can't be a starving ghost.

With this in mind, Xiao Ze caught a bunch of river prawns and small crabs in the river and put them into the bamboo pot.

Then use banana leaves and vines to seal the gaps in the bamboo, creating a stewing effect.

If it is a semi-circular bamboo split from it.

You can also use the other half of the bamboo as a lid.

Xiao Ze thinks that the capacity is too small.

That's why I made a hole in it.

Bamboo can also be used as a simple steamer.

If you have a chance, you must try the steamed fish.

When Xiao Ze was cooking river shrimp and crabs and adding salt, he found that the bottle of salt he only had was almost gone. This place is far away from the sea, so sea salt cannot be extracted, but potassium salt can be extracted from potassium carbonate in plant ash.

Potassium salts are harmful to the human body.

Best to just act as a temporary replacement.

After all, there is no salt supplement for a long time.

Other symptoms are minor.

Xiao Ze didn't want to lose his flowing black hair and turn into a shaved monk with a bald head.

The production process of potash salt is simpler than that of sea salt.

Xiao Ze collected the remaining plant ash from last night's fire and put it into a bamboo tube, added water and stirred it. He put a sock over the mouth of the bamboo tube and filtered it several times before pouring it into longer bamboo joints to boil the water.

After cooking a bottle of potassium salt, Xiao Ze opened the bamboo pot and picked out river prawns and crabs with branches and ate them.

It was already ten o'clock in the position of the sun.

It took two hours to extract the potassium salt.

Xiao Ze decided to wait until the evening after this meal.

The small crabs are still the same with more shells and less meat.

But have to say.

Due to the water quality of the river prawns, the prawns are fresh and tender, even if they only add some salt, they taste great.

Eat and drink well.

Xiao Ze continued westward.

Good luck today.

Xiao Ze didn't meet the beast.

After all, there is no shortage of water on the mountain.

The beast ran to the foot of the mountain to drink water?

Totally unnecessary.

Leopards may have no water in their territory.

When the sun is shining.

Xiao Ze couldn't help taking off his coat.

It was unbearably hot.

And it's still hot and humid.

Xiao Ze felt that the air was full of water particles.

You won't get pulmonary edema, right?
Xiao Ze joked in his heart.

How can it be so mysterious.

Those who smoke and those whose cigarette butts get wet.

Xiao Ze only smoked a cigarette occasionally.

He wasn't addicted to smoking.

Otherwise, it would have been unbearable.

Xiao Ze walked along the river, and finally came across a recognizable green vegetable.

It's called wild amaranth.

A large area grows beside the river.

Precisely.

It should not be said to be vegetables.

Xiao Ze checked the information at the beginning.

Wild amaranth is a Chinese medicinal name.

The medicinal effect is heat-clearing and toxic substances removing, diuretic.

Xiao Ze's urinary system is very healthy.

It can clear away heat and detoxify.

Wild amaranth can be eaten as a vegetable.

Topical applications can also treat snake bites and bee stings.

These two points are useless.

Xiao Ze has long been used to the mere trauma.

When building a wooden house, he was scratched [-] centimeters by a wooden thorn.

Xiao Ze didn't even hum.

If it can detoxify snake venom and bee venom.

He doesn't mind drying and saving some for later use.

Xiao Ze picked a large amount of wild amaranth and put it into a bamboo basket.

Save these for dinner, I'm not hungry now.

Then continue west along the creek.

After Xiao Ze went deep into the mountains.

Found that food is more and more.

Look at the sun going down.

Xiao Ze planned to set up camp on the spot.

There are a lot of kudzu vines in the forest beside the river.

Xiao Ze followed the lead and soon got a lot of kudzu root that could be used as a staple food.

The starch content of kudzu root is relatively high.

Pueraria powder after simple processing is similar to flour.

The taste and texture are not as good as wheat though.

But he hasn't eaten a staple food for a long time.

Whatever you say today, you have to make a staple food.

Even if he didn't like pasta before landing on the island.

Xiao Ze poked a small hole in the bottom of a thick bamboo tube, then put the kudzu root into the bamboo tube and added a little water. Then he used a thin bamboo tube to pound the juice out of the kudzu root. After the juice settled for a period of time, he could get the kudzu root powder.

A piece of kudzu root can only get a little kudzu powder.

The simple method is naturally not as good as mechanical processing.

Xiao Ze took a lot of effort to pound out a tube of kudzu root juice, put it aside to let it settle by itself, and then made a bamboo colander.

From time to time, a small piece of bamboo forest can be encountered by the river, so he is not short of bamboo, and there are enough bamboo shoots to eat.

Making a colander is also very simple.

Start by finding a super thin piece of bamboo.

Then bend the bamboo piece into a spoon shape.

Insert the two ends into the thin bamboo that fits in your hand.

Insert a suitable branch in the middle to prevent the edge of the colander from losing friction and flying away.

Then insert a few vertical bamboo strips in the middle of the thin bamboo and slowly weave it into a colander according to the cross braiding method.

Xiao Ze weighed the compiled colander.

Feels pretty good.

In addition to washing vegetables and draining water, you can also catch fish and shrimp.

Small fish and shrimp can be caught quickly and accurately.

The big fish may be smashed to pieces by the colander.

Xiao Ze washed the wild amaranth with a colander, tasted it a little bit bitter, as expected of a Chinese herbal medicine.

So put it in a bamboo pot and cook it.

Cooking can effectively remove the bitter taste.

Xiao Ze resumed the fire, and put the bamboo tube on the fire as a bamboo pot as usual, and added fresh water and salt.

Wait for the water to boil before adding the amaranth.

Cook for about three to five minutes.

Xiao Ze picked out the wild amaranth with branches, drained it with a colander, and then mashed it.

At this time, the pueraria powder has settled.

Xiao Ze poured out the excess water on the bamboo tube, then mixed the chopped amaranth into the kudzu root powder.

The ingredients I made tonight are probably enough to make three large pancakes, so I have to save some as they are not easy to make.

Xiao Ze thought to himself, poured out the "dough" mixture and kneaded it on the cobblestones, then divided it into three pieces and rolled them into uniform rounds with a bamboo tube.

Because the cake materials are too pure and natural.

Xiao Ze needs to be careful.

Otherwise, the pancakes will easily disperse into lumps.

Xiao Ze used banana leaves to protect the pancakes on both sides, and buried them directly in the soil by the river, and raised a fire on top of them.

Three amaranth cakes in total.

Xiao Ze plans to eat one a day.

Hey, it's so fragrant.

Xiao Ze was in a rare happy mood.

Looking at his blackened sneakers.

Xiao Ze couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

If these shoes are worn out, there is nothing left to wear.

Rabbit fur shoes are not as comfortable as sneakers.

The original white has become black.

Xiao Ze walked for a day, and after taking off his shoes, the stench made his eyes burn. He decisively put his feet into the river, trying to wash his socks, but attracted a group of small fish.

Watching the little fish eating the dead skin on his feet.

Xiao Ze's face became weird.

It is rare to experience a "fish therapy" in this kind of place.

Xiao Ze felt himself physically and mentally comfortable at this moment.

After the fish therapy is over, Xiao Ze drives Xiao Yu away.

He planned to cook the soup first. After the soup was cooked, the amaranth cake was probably almost done, and it wouldn't take long.
