trustee of the gods

It was obvious that Bibi Dong was not satisfied with Li Yi's deliberate behavior, so he wouldn't let her much now.

It's just that when playing chess with her, I don't think too hard, and I just try my best to win.

Bibi Dong once again cleaned up the chessboard and chess pieces, which was an agreement he made with Li Yi.

Every time whoever loses, he is responsible for tidying up the messy chessboard and scattered chess pieces.

This matter, the girl is already very proficient in doing it.

Li Yi surrounded the pot and kept observing the situation inside. The water in the pot was already boiling.

It seems that a cover is still needed so as to achieve longer-term heat preservation, he thought so, picked up a spoon to scoop up a spoonful of water in the pot.

If the root is still poisonous, there must be a small amount of poison in the water.

After blowing, although it is still relatively hot, it is already much better. At least a little drinking will not make it too hot.

Because he didn't hold a lot of it himself, so it cooled faster.

Taste the water carefully, it is a little sweet, really like the water for boiling sweet potatoes.

More importantly, no trace of toxicity has been found in the water for the time being, not even the weak toxicity that would make your mouth feel numb after eating it.

That's a good thing, especially a pretty big one for yourself.

But he still didn't dare to confirm, so he used chopsticks to peel off the bark. At that time, the bark outside the root had become very good, and it would fall off without a slight stroke, revealing the white flesh inside.

After cooking, the roots are white and rusty because of the high starch content.

Pick up a piece and put it in your mouth, like eating mud, like eating soil, except for a little sweetness, there is no special taste, the taste is not very good, it is not as soft as sweet potatoes, but somewhat like sweet potatoes.

In terms of taste, there is no other taste except for a slight sweetness after cooking. It seems that all the sweetness has penetrated into the water.

The cooked tree roots are very suitable to be eaten as a staple food. The key is, if it can only be eaten as a staple food, why do you ask him to do it? Can't you just eat meat until you are full?

Li Yi made this kind of thing to determine the high starch content in it, mainly to process it into flour, and then use it to make other gourmet buns, dumplings, rice cakes, glutinous rice cakes, and leek boxes.

He can even try to bake a cake.

Of course, don't think about the leek box for the time being, he hasn't found wild leeks here yet, but he guesses there may be some in the mountains.

The mountain is a huge treasure, but this treasure is scattered in the whole mountain. To find it, I must have patience and the wisdom of survival.

Stuffing a small piece of boiled tree root into Bibi Dong's mouth, she tasted it, and it was obvious that he didn't like this kind of food very much.

To be precise, this kind of boiled food has no taste except for a little bit of sweetness in the water.

It is acceptable if it is used as a staple food, but if it is only eaten dry, the taste is not very good.

Then he lifted the ceramic cover on the side, and a small piece of steamed tree root came out from it, and tasted it carefully.

I have to say that the taste and taste of really good tree roots are much better than boiled ones, and they are not the same as boiled ones, they look very rotten.

The most important thing is that the taste has been improved a lot, and there seems to be such a faint sweetness, at least you can eat it, knowing that there is sweetness.

Thinking of this, Li Yi immediately put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, and went to pick the roasted tree roots in the fire.

Both boiled and really have Tian Wei, so wouldn't the roasted sweetness be more.

Sure enough, when he pulled out the quick heel, it was obvious that some sticky things had oozed out of it, which should be the sugar inside that oozed out and turned into a syrup-like substance.

Although this tree root is the same as the black and carbon on the outside, it does not prevent it from being very sweet inside.

As soon as Li Yi exerted force, the charcoal-like outer edge was instantly removed, revealing the white flesh inside.

Bursts of sweet fragrance wafted out from above, Bibi Dong immediately leaned in front of this dark tree root.

Although she doesn't know whether this thing is good or not, but with the box on it, she can know that the taste of this thing is not bad.

Li Yi carefully picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. Although the taste was not as good as the roasted sweet potato he had eaten before, it was not particularly big.

At least in this deep mountain and old forest, eating a bite of roasted tree roots is already considered a pleasure. Of course, I don’t know if eating too much of this tree root will cause any harm.

In addition to toxins, it may be harmful to the body due to other reasons, or the original benign benefits will cause problems if you eat too much.

"Taste carefully." Li Yi said, picked up a piece and put it into Bibi Dong's mouth.

Chapter 4 Heavy Rain

Bibi Dong was sitting on a chair, facing a piece of roasted tree root in front of her, and was growing big flowers.

To be honest, if you want to say what this thing is, it is so delicious that it is not so delicious, but it is already very delicious in the eyes of Bibi Dong, who has eaten it for more than ten days and rarely consumes sugar.

The matter of sugar was really difficult to solve for a while, the main reason was that he had not discovered sugar cane.

Without sugarcane, there would be no sucrose. This is a difficult problem to solve, unless he uses other methods to obtain sugar, such as buying it in other places where human beings gather.

Of course, he can also explore in this mountain forest. He doesn't believe that such a big Star Dou Forest is so rich in species, and he can't find a bundle of sugar cane.

The self is the center of the circle, if it is not enough for one kilometer, it will be ten kilometers or ten kilometers, if it is not enough, it will be one hundred kilometers, if it is not enough, it will be one thousand kilometers.

Even if he searched the entire Douluo Continent, he would still bring back two bundles of sugar cane.

But it is estimated that at that time, I will be impatient and grab two handfuls directly from the sugar jar on the side of the road.

Bibi Dong happily ate the roots. Li Yi saw that there was still a large basket of roots, and began to think about how to deal with these things.Go back and try it, peel and slice it and dry it to see if it can be preserved and ground into powder.

If it can be ground into powder, make a fine gauze by yourself, or use water to grind starch, first grind it, then let it slowly settle, and finally dry it.

It's just that if you want to get these things done, you must have a stone millstone, and it's best to find a cow to pull your own millstone.

Of course, if you can't find a cow, you can come by yourself. After all, in this mountain forest, it is very risky to find a cow casually, because cows also need to be domesticated, and bison can't pull a millstone.

This matter can be temporarily slowed down. Things like millstones are large stone tools. Although one person can make it, it is impossible to force it out in one day.

Slow down for the time being, the most important thing at present is the food storage task, in fact, maybe you can try to stir the eggs and the boiled tree roots, mix them together and roast them, I don’t know how it tastes.

You can try it yourself later, after all, you now have eggs, one of the three elements of the cake.

Egg, cream, flour and sugar, even if it is made by a fool, as long as the ratio is not too outrageous, the taste will be good.

Although I don't have a professional oven, the fireplace I prepared before can also play this role to a certain extent.

Even if I couldn't eat cake or bread by myself in this situation, I couldn't make it.Steamed buns, steamed buns, dumplings.

Because he can stir the eggs and boiled tree roots on a whim, but it is impossible to let the boiled tree roots dry and then wrap them forcibly to make steamed buns or dumplings. The requirements for materials are more than this The stuff is much taller.

I don't know if the one I made is a cake or something else?

Li Yi is very confident in his cooking skills. In fact, although he has not studied it specifically, but with his physical fitness and mastery ability, his cooking quality is close to the top level.

He has even surpassed most professionally trained chefs, and even chefs who make a living from it. He can be called a top master in this field, but he is by no means a master.

Because this is a very vague street scene, to be precise, the dishes he cooks have no soul.

Although he doesn't know what the soul is, he clearly knows that the dishes he cooks are still a little short. He can make the most palatable dishes, and he has a fine mastery of seasonings, but he is still a little short.

He may be Tang Niu, but he is far inferior to Stephen Zhou.

This is not a gap in technology, but a difference in the way.

Just being able to achieve this point is one in a million, at least making it for Bibi Dong to eat is definitely possible to do very well.

Even if there is only salt, no MSG, or even any umami substances.

He always hangs a pot of high soup from here, and then uses the high soup to cook the food. Although it is a bit laborious, it can make the food taste better.

Of course, maintaining the broth is not an easy task, but for him, since he has to cook every day, maintaining the broth is just a matter of adding fuel.

Cut all these tree roots into slices and put them outside, and put them on the top of the stone house to dry them. I don’t know what it will taste like after drying, whether they can be eaten after the exam, and whether they will be like steamed buns .

In the future, more food and plants will be collected, and many herbs will be collected by him to dry and then stored.

The roots are very dry and brittle after drying.

Just like sweet potato chips, the texture and taste will not be very good after drying, but they can be stored for a long time, and they have a different flavor after being cooked.

During the same period of time, he also collected a lot of eggs. Of course, he has been looking for sugarcane, and there is no such thing as a ten-mile radius.

The only way to find out is to expand the scope.

Of course, this matter is not in a hurry, so he didn't do it right away, because as time passed, the rain came.

The sky was pouring like heavy rain, and the sky was blocking out the sun.

He couldn't think of another word to describe this kind of rain other than torrential rain, because the current water flow was really like a splash, someone was pouring water from the sky.

In a short time, his threshold was almost submerged, and the water level once reached 20 centimeters above the threshold.

Of course, with the heavy rain, he could hear many sounds from the mountains in the distance, because the torrents and mudslides caused by the heavy rain were erupting. Although they did not reach here, they could still hear many sounds.

This rain started in the afternoon, and it was almost evening now. In fact, it was already difficult for him to judge the time under such circumstances.

Even now, time is only a vague judgment.

Before, he could judge what time it was based on the very primitive sun disc he made, but now he can't judge at all.

It's just that he can perceive that as the light gradually dims, the sky is completely dark.

I don't know what time of night it is now, the windows have all been read, and the vents have been blocked.

Next, if you don't need to open the windows, or for ventilation, then they will not be opened.

Because once it is opened, countless rainwater will pour in. Now he just opened a small door, paying attention to and observing the situation outside.

Apart from the heavy rain outside, there are also branches, weeds and flowers flying in the wind, making noises as the strong wind beats on the stone wall.

Moreover, there was constant thunder in the sky, thunder and thunder, and the mudslides and torrents on the ground brought out bursts of regret.

He could even see the earthen jar he placed on the table trembling slightly.

Chapter 4 Nineteen Attempts

Bibi Dong was like a frightened kitten, cuddling tightly in Li Yi's arms. The loud noises and the doomsday scene outside really shocked and terrified her.

Even just now she saw a towering giant tree being torn by the wind and rising from the ground.

Even the tree was still flying towards them. At that moment, her mind was blinded.

Although it didn't fly near their house in the end, and even the fence wasn't smashed, it still made her very scared.

What's more, there is the most feared thunder, and the shock like an earthquake.

These are enough to make her afraid and terrified. If Li Yi hadn't been hugging her by his side to comfort her, maybe she would have cried in fright.

As time slowly passed, although the rain was still heavy and the wind was still strong, the shock brought by the mountain torrents was slowly weakening.

In fact, it is not weakening, but because the collapse of the mudslide is almost the same.

Although there will still be collapses in the next few days, they will not be as frequent as they are now.

Moreover, the flash flood has found a path. In the next few days, if there is no accident, it will follow this path. It seems that after the heavy rain, some new small rivers will emerge.

Li Yi asked Bibi Dong to hold the corner of his clothes, because he was going to cook now, and it was impossible to hug her all the time.

He has indeed stored a lot of food these days, looking at the half full basket next to more than 100 eggs.

Some of them have already been stepped on to hatch chickens, and he is going to try again. If he can hatch chicks, he will have more chickens in the future.

There are a lot of beef and mutton hanging high on the stone house next to him. These things are collected by him these days. In addition, there are a lot of herbs and wild vegetables in the cabinet beside him.

Look again, there are many root pieces and some fresh roots.

He thought of some ways to preserve these fresh roots, as long as they were buried in the soil, because of the characteristics of the roots themselves, they would not be broken for a long time.

Maybe even another tree, if given enough time.

Even if you can't bury it in the soil, finding some soil to cover the roots can increase the storage time for a long time.

In this way, besides the dry slices, you can also have some wet roots to eat.

At least the wet roots are countless times stronger than the dried ones.

In addition, when it rained before, he had already brought all the pots and pans outside into the house. Fortunately, he made a stove in the house in advance and can now use it.

Take firewood and light it, and the flame rises up.

In these days, because of the crock pot, he made a lot of things, such as butter and suet.

With these things, he can refine fat when he obtains fat. Although sheep fat is very smelly, it is better than nothing.

Moreover, butter is much better than sheep oil. The important thing is that I added a lot of herbs when cooking it, which can be regarded as able to suppress and cover part of the taste.

Dig out a small piece of mutton oil, put it in the pot to melt the fat, flow all the way into the pot along the side of the pot, and start to slowly bubble under the action of the flame.
