Zhanshan is the king of the last days

Knowing that Xiao Dingnan woke up, everyone immediately relaxed.Here, some people are aware of the miraculous role of Xiao Dingnan's "Dinghai Shenzhen Needle" in the base, and some people rely on the intuition of small animals to judge the delicate balancing effect of the master. Work hard for the common goal!

This valley surrounded by four sides should have a narrow passage leading to the outside, but unfortunately, it was probably blocked by piles of rocks during the earthquake, so that the continuous heavy rain for several days turned the valley into a barrier lake .What Li Miaoyang wants to do is to divert the water from this barrier lake to the downstream, so that the water level in the valley will not keep rising due to the inability to drain water. When the time comes, no matter if it breaks an embankment or causes a landslide, it will be enough for them to drink a pot!

There are many people and strength, and more than 20 people are left to guard and help with cooking, and the rest of them all ran to help.At this time, I don’t say anything, you do more and I do less, Nima is a little bit wrong, it’s the rhythm of group destruction, okay?Thinking of the terrible consequences that the little pervert described to them as "the structure of the barrier lake is very unstable, if you don't pay attention, if you have a dike break or a landslide in the middle of the night, you will die!", the villagers who "seldom read" We are certainly afraid, but those who "read a lot" will only make up more and be more afraid. Then, let's work together and dig a hole together!

Stepping on dead branches, fallen leaves and mud, everyone quickly found the valley depression that the military adviser said "may have once been a trail".I dug down along the place, and sure enough, I saw a lot of stones below. Judging from the traces, it should have fallen not long ago.

"No! This place is too narrow, let's divide into groups!" After less than half an hour of digging, as the results continued to expand, Zhang Guangshui, who was in charge of the supervisor, couldn't stand it any longer!

The phrase "many people are powerful" is an advantage when fighting in groups, but digging a hole on a narrow ridge with bottomless floods on both sides is a bit restrictive.

Zhang Guangshui looked around, and simply divided the people into four groups——

"One group digs a hole, one group pushes the excavated stones to the side, and the other two groups, led by the group leader, I see that there are many pine trees nearby, you go and chop some pine branches and send them back, dry them It’s a good thing for cooking, and over there, where the water didn’t reach, there seem to be some wild kudzu vines, you go dig it, I think the kudzu vines are quite thick, and the kudzu roots below should be quite big.”

"Kudzu? Haha, we have it in our village! Brother Shui, don't worry, I'll take them to dig it!" Many rural people in the team are eager to try it. Digging kudzu is almost something that people in the mountains can do.During the slack season, choose a sunny afternoon, eat well, go up the mountain with a hoe and shovel and other tools, and look for the wrist-thin old kudzu vines that climb up the trees. There must be thick kudzu roots underneath. , Digging down along the vines, this feeling of treasure hunting is what young people like best.

Now, although it is still raining lightly, when I hear that we are going to dig kudzu, not to mention the rural lads, even the city people can't sit still!For urbanites like them who have only heard of kudzu powder before the end of the world, but have never seen what the prototype of kudzu powder is, this kind of work is much more interesting than digging stones here!

At the moment, the people who were assigned to the first and second groups were a little ready to move, and they all signaled their group leaders to hurry up and fight for their rights.

"Stop making trouble! In this way, everyone will take turns. Today each group has two hours to dig kudzu roots!" Zhang Guangshui is really tired!It feels like bringing a group of kindergarten children out to experience nature instead of struggling to survive in the last days... Dear friends, did you take the wrong script?

"Protest!" A shrewd ghost expressed dissatisfaction. "Brother Shui, there are only so many thick kudzu roots, and the ones in the front are all dug up. What shall we dig? It's not fair!"

"Okay! Want to be fair, right? Come, come! For me, divide that area into four parts, and each of your four groups will send a person to my place to draw lots. Dig wherever you draw, and you are not allowed to cross the boundary. How about luck?"

"Okay! But Brother Shui, you are not allowed to participate in the lottery! Who doesn't know that you are the luckiest in the entire base?"

"No problem! Come on, let's draw lots!" Zhang Guangshui neatly used the shovel in his hand to draw four large squares on the kudzu vine, and marked 1234 on the ground, and finally broke off four pieces of different lengths. The branches came over, "Let's draw lots! According to the length of the branches, the shortest is number one, and the longest is number four."

A group of naive ghosts pushed and shoved each other, and selected four who were luckier in their respective groups. After drawing lots, everyone discovered that Nima was fooled by Brother Shui just now!

"We all eat in the cafeteria now! Does it matter if you dig more or less? Everything has to be handed over to the cafeteria 2333~" Everyone wept and fainted on the top of the mountain.

Fortunately, Zhou Ya, who came with him, was quite management minded, and gave a supplementary clause on the spot: Those who participated in the kudzu root digging activity could have an extra serving of boiled kudzu root at night.

"By the way, how do you eat this kudzu root?" Some people in the city really don't understand, is the root system of the plant boiled and eaten like sweet potatoes?

"We don't have the conditions now, otherwise we can make pueraria powder and use it to make meat soup or sweet-scented osmanthus soup. It's delicious! In the past, my grandma would pickle sweet osmanthus and brew it with pueraria powder. It's very fragrant! But this It’s delicious even if it’s boiled with water. Just tearing off the outer skin, it’s similar to gnawing on sugarcane. After chewing it, it has a slight bitter taste at first, but gradually it has a special sweet taste. Arrowroot powder is very nourishing. It used to be Our mountain people dug it up and sold it, and many people bought it!" This is an educated young man in the mountains, and his memories are full of literature and art!

The eavesdroppers who watched and eavesdropped were drooling, wishing they could dig out kudzu root and try it immediately!

However, the ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny... Pueraria, how can it be so easy to dig?Especially after several days of heavy rain and the mud on the mountain has hardened, it is simply not something that ordinary people can handle if they want to dig out kudzu from a pile of mud!

In the end, everyone had to invite Zhang Xiaobao, who is extremely powerful.

"Hey~~ Look at it!" Zhang Xiaobao wrapped his hands in cloth strips to increase the friction, and grabbed a kudzu root as thick as an adult's thigh, with luck, let's go!

"Plop~" The kudzu root didn't know where it broke, Zhang Xiaobao hugged a large piece of kudzu root and sat down in the mud.

"Hahaha……"

After laughing, everyone began to carefully observe this kudzu root. The thick wild kudzu root has grown for an unknown number of years, and the thickest part is as wide as a washbasin!Experienced mountain people estimated that the section picked up by Zhang Xiaobao must weigh at least 100 catties!

"Keep digging! There must be bigger ones under the hemp eggs!" Everyone was inspired by this huge harvest, especially after hearing that this thing can fill the stomach when people in the mountains are famines, their passion for labor became even more intense!

Their food is either wet or not shelled. If they can’t find any alternative food, they will either live the “painful days of constipation” of hunting and eating meat as before, or try to find a way to catch fish.

However, is the fish so easy to catch?They're not Scabbers!

Now, with kudzu root that can replace food, everyone really feels that although this ruthless and shameless end times often tortures them with madness and always wants to kill them with various natural disasters, it will occasionally give them a little surprise and hope... …

"Wait! It looks like this. Let's focus our firepower first and dig out the kudzu roots near the ditch. Otherwise, if we dig the ditch and the flood rushes, those kudzu roots will be fed to the fish... much What a waste!" Zhou Ya suggested, thinking that you idiots are still drawing lots by division!Isn't it all dug out and handed over to the cafeteria?What a mess!As Mr. Zhou's personal assistant and practical adopted son, Zhou Ya is well versed in management.

So, everyone quickly divided into groups, a group of people continued to dig the ditch, and a group of people began to search for kudzu along the sides of the ditch, digging down in the direction of kudzu, the small ones were handled by themselves, and the super big kudzu that was difficult to deal with , called Zhang Xiaobao and other foreign aid urgently.

For most of the day, these beasts swept up all the large and small kudzu vines that could be found on both sides of the ditch, and harvested more than 1000 catties of kudzu roots!

"How come there are so many?!"

"Hehe~~ kudzu vines are generally like this. You can find a piece as soon as you look for it, and its reproductive ability is very strong! And don't look at us digging out its roots. As long as there are kudzu vines here, it will grow a large piece within two years. People in the mountains can’t dig all the kudzu vines we find, we will leave some young seedlings there, and dig them again in a few years. This thing is solid!” Someone popularized science.At this time, we can see the strengths of rural people in survival in the wild. They can not only find food substitutes, but also know how to develop sustainably!

That night, there was a lot of laughter in the temporary resident, and everyone was very happy to find a new food that could replace food!Moreover, kudzu root does not need to be cooked carefully, it only needs to be thrown into a large pot and cooked, and the outer layer of skin can be peeled off to eat!

Seeing everyone chewing and chewing like a group of hamsters, with their cheeks bulging, Xiao Dingnan laughed sullenly: "I didn't expect you to be so lucky to find kudzu root! I forgot that there is such a thing in the mountains .”

Xiao Dingnan also ate kudzu root when he was a child, but he has not been back to the mountains for many years, and he has long forgotten about it!Now that I ate this kind of kudzu root with a touch of bitterness and sweetness again, I couldn't help feeling a little bit in my heart.

I have to say that kudzu root is really easy to produce a feeling of fullness, no wonder those women like to use this thing to lose weight before the end of the world!After eating only two yuan, Xiao Dingnan felt that his stomach was a little swollen, and so did the others.Fortunately, the weather is not too hot now, and the boiled kudzu root can be dried in a ventilated place, and can be eaten the next day.

Worried that everyone would be hungry at night, Xiao Dingnan asked the people in the cafeteria to make some more meat porridge, the one with more meat and less rice, so that anyone who is hungry at night can come and eat a bowl.The hot meat porridge, with chopped ginger, is delicious and can prevent colds and colds. If you can’t finish it, throw it by the fire and put it on the next day. The rice grains inside have been boiled and turned thick The meat soup is unexpectedly delicious!

"Well~ I'll go dig some more today!" Zhang Xiaobao picked up diced meat for Xiao Wu while drinking porridge, and he didn't forget to say something, what a magical skill!

"I think the dark clouds are about to disperse, and I hope there will be a sunny day, otherwise we will have no clothes to wear if the tide continues!" Wang Cuiqin, who is in charge of logistics, said bitterly, "There is not enough dry firewood. , Now drying the clothes, I ask their watchmen to dry them by the bonfire during the vigil at night, and when I wake up in the morning, the clothes smell like bacon!"

Yes, except for the clothes, the meat they hadn't finished eating was also roasted on the fire to dry the meat.

Everyone lowered their heads and smelled the smell of bacon on their bodies, and they were speechless...
