Chen Yu nodded. They had only been here for ten days, and the yard had been almost fully utilized.

And in the future, they will definitely have other animals joining their farm. If this continues, the yard will not be enough! "Isn't there an open space behind our shelter?"

"After we finish building the brick house and have some free time, we'll build a farm in the back!" Chen Yu thought for a moment and said.

This is necessary to survive for a year.

Besides, I have all the equipment for building earth walls now. I think it won't take a few days to build a rough framework. But if I divide it carefully, I can separate it into several places! "Hmm!"

Ling Qing nodded, she meant the same thing.

Although there are pheasants and rabbits to entertain them now, after a while, the whole shelter will be filled with the stench of their feces. This is definitely unbearable...

"But this kind of thing can't be rushed, we have to take it slow." "Let's go find some wild vegetables this afternoon, and then we'll have hot pot tonight." Chen Yu said with a smile.

Actually, he himself also missed the taste of hot pot! And now they have a lot of things, so they are fully equipped. "Are we really going to eat hot pot?" "That's great... Hehe~~"

Ling Qing thought Chen Yu just mentioned it casually before! Unexpectedly, he was telling the truth...

……

After lunch, at the hottest time of the day, the two of them set off with backpacks, two bottles of water, and some figs!

Every time they go out to look for food, the place and distance are different, because this can help them understand the island faster and better. Understand what other available resources are around them..

After walking for more than an hour, the two men finally picked up some small thistles, nettles and wild alfalfa on their backs.

But it’s enough for a hot pot dinner tonight. After all, neither of them are big eaters, so it’s enough for dinner! “Look, there’s something good over there!”

Chen Yu looked ahead. About fifty meters away, there was a small deciduous tree covered with red fruits!

It is early autumn now, and many fruits are ripe, so this is a very lucky thing for them who are surviving in the wilderness. "Ah... it's wild jujube!!!"

Ling Qing shouted excitedly. There were a lot of these things in their countryside, and she recognized it at a glance!

Wild jujubes are rich in trace elements and vitamin C. Their nutritional value is several times that of jujubes and 20 to 30 times that of citrus. Therefore, they are very expensive in the market... "Oh, you actually know about wild jujubes?"

Chen Yu looked at Ling Qing in disbelief. After all, figs and wild jujubes grow in similar places. And Ling Qing doesn't know figs...

"Humph, you really underestimate the knowledge of a country boy!" Ling Qing tilted his head and ran towards the wild jujube. "Run slowly, be careful not to fall..." Chen Yu reminded behind him. "Here, try it!"

Ling Qing picked a handful of jujubes and handed three or four to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu tasted it and found it sweet with a little bit of sourness, very suitable for quenching thirst and very delicious. The minister had a light woody sweetness like green dates...

"Chen Yu, how about we pick all the jujubes and take them back?" "After this month, they will all fall and return to dust anyway!"

Wild jujubes usually fall in early August, and after being eaten by ants and other insects, they are inedible! And now it is July 14th, about half a month away...

"good!!"

Chen Yu nodded. If he couldn't find other resources in this place, he might not come here again! So if he picked all the wild jujubes now, he wouldn't have to come here again...

……

Time passed little by little, and more than three hours later, the two returned to the shelter again. At this time, their backpacks were filled with two backpacks of wild vegetables and wild jujubes! There were small thistles, nettles, Achnatherum splendens, dandelions and other wild vegetables...

This wild vegetable is best eaten cold in early spring when it just pops out. But now it is early autumn, so it is not so tender! But it is okay to use it for hot pot.

And generally speaking, these ingredients are basically both medicinal and edible, and are very good for the body.

"Okay, let's start making hot pot. Cut some meat slices, wild ginger and green onions, and make the thick soup first." Chen Yu said as he pinched the starch. It was almost completely dried! Then Chen Yu went to find a clean and flat stone slab, washed it, and used it as a chopping board for kneading dough.

First, the starch is kneaded into a dough. Then, a bamboo pole of uniform thickness is found. After scraping off the surface, it is polished smooth with sand, and then washed and used as a rolling pin.

Of course, starch doesn’t have the ductility of flour, but its toughness is particularly good!

After half an hour, Chen Yu finally rolled out the starch dough and cut it into wide strips. "Chen Yu, my soup base is ready, are you ready?" Ling Qing asked impatiently.

"alright..."

Chen Yu responded and took the cut vermicelli.

Ling Qing uses catfish as the base of the pot. The milky white base is paired with green scallions and red wild peppers, which looks very appetizing. "Put the vermicelli in the pot, add some wild vegetables, and we can eat it right away!"

After five minutes, the vermicelli has probably softened and can be served...

It’s just that the vermicelli made by Chen Yu is not that chewy. When making vermicelli in the countryside in the past, most people added some alum to increase the chewiness of the vermicelli.

But they don't have that thing now, and eating too much of it is not good for the human body. And now the state has clearly stipulated that it is illegal to add alum to vermicelli! "The vermicelli seems to be ready, now you can add vegetables to it." Chen Yu looked at the vermicelli in the pot and found it was ready to eat. So he put the washed small thistles, dandelions and other wild vegetables into the pot!

Although this wild vegetable is not that tender, it is a vegetable after all, and it can mature easily... "Wow... It looks so appetizing, Chen Yu."

Ling Qing swallowed hard, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "Then let's start eating!" Just from the appearance, it was indeed very attractive, with meat, fish, vermicelli and vegetables.

This kind of life is simply too good to live!

"Well, vermicelli is especially delicious, Chen Yu, you are really good at it..." Ling Qing ate a vermicelli, with a gleam in his eyes, and nodded in praise to Chen Yu.
