Chapter 119: Water Chestnuts in the Swamp

"Make something else?"

"En!" Xiao Xiao nodded, but after thinking about it, he immediately felt that it was wrong. If one thing in this world is to be safely concealed, the practical value is the most important. With a good practical value as a foreshadowing, it will not Some people doubt.The role of the straw I think is a bit different from this world.The bathroom hesitated.

"how?"

"The one I know is to use straw to make baskets and hats." Xiao Xiao looked at Xia Yutianyan with a sigh, "However, this excuse seems a little weak to us. I think that if you plant straw Wheat, the role of wheat stalks, it is best to be used for food, even if people can’t eat it, it must be eaten by animals.”

Xia Yu Tianyan nodded while listening.The little guy's concerns are good.

"But you said just now that animals don't like to eat." Bai Xiaoyao asked, but he already had another answer in his heart.He still has some understanding of Xiao Xiao's thinking, but Xiao Xiao doesn't understand the creatures in this world.If the wheat stalks are as slender as the rice stalks.Herbivores absolutely love it when there is no grass in winter.

"Wheat straw is not as soft as straw. Animals I know rarely eat straw, but I seem to have heard of a feed that is fermented with chopped wheat straw, cornmeal and other things. It's just that I don't know I don't know how to do this." Xiao Xiao, you have a computer!How did you forget Du Niang?

"If it's what you think, shouldn't corn be planted as well?" Bai Xiaoyao recalled the golden, hard thing.He hadn't eaten it yet, and couldn't think of a use for that thing.

"Corn is easier to grow than wheat. Throw it anywhere, and it will grow by itself. I think there should be such a thing on the mountain, but people here haven't discovered it." Xiao Xiao said, suddenly had an idea, "Hehe, father Huang, why don't we be more generous, and let the people of Xia Guo plant corn first next year. It is also a starchy food, that is, after it is mature, it can be ground into flour to make bread. It may be more complicated than the use of breadfruit, but it is more expensive. In his easy planting, our country of Xia will plant it first as an experiment next year, and other countries may not follow suit, at least they will wait and see for a while. At that time, people in Xia country have almost learned and used this corn .And corn leaves can be planted in spring and autumn, and next winter, everyone will no longer be hungry because of insufficient prey."

"..." Xia Yu Tianyan was silent for a while, and finally nodded. After all, he knew that with wheat, he had already taken the lead. As for corn, he didn't think it was better to have wheat after eating some.

Seeing Xia Yutianyan nod his head, Xiao Xiao boldly pointed to the large wasteland behind him. "Hey! Next year, let's plant corn on this land first!" Although it is a waste of such fertile land to grow corn, it is better than leaving it unused.

Looking at the little guy's excited appearance, Xia Yu Tianyan was very helpless.

"Do whatever you say."

The fertile land was useful, Xiao Xiao happily ignored someone's helplessness and pampering, and began to open his eyes wide and scan the edible things around him.

In such a large wasteland, even some of the left stumps have grown young trees.It seems that it was not only a year or two that was barren.

"Let's walk along the wasteland and the edge of the woods first." Xiao Xiao thought about his proposal.The others nodded of course. Originally, they went up the mountain to pick edible plants.Long-term experience tells them that in the long winter, it is not enough to just eat meat. For prey, they can find another time to hunt again.

Here Xiao Xiao walked south along the mountains and wasteland.The others had no experience in eating plants, so they could only follow behind obediently.

Nanhai City, the capital of the Xia Kingdom, is oriented from north to south. Compared with the unavoidable mountains, the mountains on the east, west, north, and north sides are continuous high mountains.like a throne.Securely wrap the huge South Sea City.

The mountain to the east where Xiao Xiao is currently located is actually connected to the mountain on the back of Nanhai City.Except that the climate in this place is particularly hot in winter, the climate at other times is somewhat similar to the climate in southern China.Perhaps also because of this reason, there are many kinds of vegetation here.There are plants that Xiao Xiao knows, and more plants he has never seen.

The ones that have not been seen are omitted directly, and there is not so much time for him to test the poison at the moment.I have seen, such as pepper, cumin, fungus, wolfberry, cumin, ginger, etc., as long as you say a word, the real people behind will help you pick it.Don't look at the team of six people on the surface, in fact, there are endless subordinates behind Xiyue and Bai Xiaoyao.

At least, it's not used up right now.

The further south the wasteland goes, the wetter it becomes.According to Xia Yutianyan, this is because there is a large lake and a large swamp nearby.

Wet soil is easier to grow tender plants after looking for things like spinach, lentils, scallions, peanuts, zucchini and loofah.Xiao Xiao suggested to Xia Yu Tianyan to go and see the swamp.

Xia Yutianyan's doting Xiao Xiao asked the two shadow guards who followed at the beginning to lead people to pick the things they found before.He took Xiao Xiao, Xiyue, Bai Xiaoyao and the others to the swamp.

"If it was earlier." Xia Yu Tianyan sighed when he thought of something, "There will be a lot of golden sunflowers blooming on the edge of the big lake. It's very beautiful."

Sunflower?Xiao Xiao's thoughts paused for a moment. He couldn't help but be very sensitive to food. He once consulted a lot of books in order to write a time-traveling farming article.Therefore, this sunflower, in the previous world, seems to refer to sunflowers.

"Is it gone now?"

"At this time, the flowering period is probably over." Xia Yu Tianyan, because everyone was flying, so the distance was obviously long, and it was only a blink of an eye.

(Xiao Xiao: Disclaimer in advance, I really don't want to exaggerate. But...)

The so-called swamp is green that can't be seen at a glance. It's fine if Xiao Xiao doesn't know the green plants, but he does!It was the first time in his life that he fought with someone in order to seize a small clump of water chestnuts by the river bank.It was also the first time in my life that I hated the ugliness of human beings.well!Don't mention the past.

However, at this time, the water chestnut should not be fully fruited yet.Xiao Xiao walked to the place closest to him, and pulled up a handful casually. The ground was very wet, and he used the most strength as soon as he came up, so he lifted up a large clump smoothly.

"What is this?" Bai Xiaoyao's shoes are really easy to learn.We have to admit, although he has been stared at by His Majesty the Emperor several times for stealing his lines.

"Water chestnuts." Xiao Xiao replied with a smile on his lips, but he didn't raise his eyes at all.Because, according to his common sense, it shouldn't be too big, let alone a water chestnut seedling.The water chestnut, as big as a child's fist, is shining arrogantly through the soil. "Huh? What's going on here? Could it be because the seasons here are relatively long. (Water chestnut: Huh, no, it's because I have been alone for hundreds, thousands of years...)

"Beachy what?" Bai Xiaoyao looked at Xia Yutianyan inquiringly, okay!Isn't His Majesty the Emperor unhappy about being robbed of his lines?Xi Yue was frowning just like him, staring at the things in the boy's hands in front of him with a puzzled expression.

"Eat food! My God! This is the biggest water chestnut I've ever seen." Xiao smiled and looked at the other three, then found a puddle and picked the big water chestnuts from the seedlings one by one.

To be honest, at the beginning, Xiao Xiao was worried that there was something wrong with the water chestnut growing so fast, but after washing it, he used a pocket knife to peel off the white flesh inside, the sweet smell, the crystal clear juice.I want to go down in one bite.Don't say anything.It is really the taste in memory.I don't know how many times better than those bought in the supermarket when I grew up.

From Xiao Xiao's movement and speed of cutting the water chestnuts, it can be seen that this child is really obsessed with this thing, so he didn't think of Xia Yu Tianyan and others until he ate the third one.Quickly cut one and hand it over.Xia Yu Tianyan was still thinking that the food was so delicious. The little guy ate it quickly. When the water chestnut was brought to his mouth, he was really attracted by the sweet taste, and opened his mouth to take a bite.The mouth is full of cold, sweet and refreshing juice.

"Delicious, right?"

"Not bad." Xia Yu Tianyan nodded, and ate the other half with Xiao Xiao's hand.

Seeing that Xia Yu Tianyan ate the water chestnut, the two people on one side immediately went to do it themselves.

"Is this fruit?" Bai Xiaoyao fought with Beifeng and Nanfeng when eating.

"Well, hehe! At least in my eyes, it is a fruit. Of course, it can also be used for cooking. If you eat too much meat and your mouth is hot, this wine can reduce the fire."

"Isn't that medicinal?"

"Hehe! Whether it is medicinal or not is up to you."

Bai Xiaoyao nodded.The hands kept moving, and after Xiao Xiao washed it, he went to pull it out in the swamp on the other side.With a smile on his face, he said, "I happen to have a fever in my mouth recently, so I just need to eat more."

Well!Your excuse is so cute!

Adhering to the principle of moving home since it is food.At the edge of the swamp, six Gale Storm Guards immediately appeared.As I said before, the Gale and Dark Guards are controlled by Beifeng and Nanfeng, but it's a pity that the heads of these dark guards are still drunk and dead in the first floor of the world.So they were directly directed by Xiyue.

"Be careful. This is swamp water. Once it sinks, you won't be able to get up." Bai Xiaoyao kindly reminded him.

Although Xiao Xiao felt that the swamp where such good water chestnuts can grow should not be too scary.But to be on the safe side, be careful.

Someone helped pick the water chestnuts.The group of people took their food and went on the road again to see the sunflower that Xia Yu Tianyan had mentioned earlier.
