Cats grow fields in the apocalyptic wasteland

The two bamboos in front of Xia Lunong withered quickly.

Xia Huoqu looked up and said, "Cut it down first."

"Okay." Xia Lunong turned to look for the hatchet, Kong Zhi silently handed the hatchet to him.

Xia Lunong smiled at Kong Zhi, took the machete, and was about to cut it, Xia Huo said, "I'll do it."

Xia Huoqu bent down and cut from the bottom of the bamboo.

He went down with a hatchet and cut through the bamboo tube.

A large amount of water seeped out of the bamboo tube immediately, soaking the withered and yellow skin of the bamboo.

At the same time, the bamboo branches above their heads rustled down, hitting their heads like raindrops.

The bamboo is big and strong, and it brings a slight pain when it hits the forehead.

Xia Lunong originally raised her head, but after being hit in the face, she quickly lowered her head, jumped back, and exited the range of "Zhushiyu".

Yan Xiannian quickly hugged the bamboo and fixed it, preventing the bamboo from falling again, "How about we spread sacks underneath and then chop?"

Xia Huoqu looked up and said, "No need, there is one knife left, just sweep it later."

As Xia Huoqu said, he raised the knife and dropped it again, and the bamboo snapped at the sound, but it didn't fall down because Yan Xinian was holding the whole bamboo.

Yan Xiannian brought the bamboo to the concrete floor they had cleaned, and put it down gently.

Xia Lunong probed to look.

On the bamboo branches are heavy gray-green bamboo fruits, each about the size of soybeans, longer than soybeans, and ellipsoid-shaped.

Xia Lunong grabbed one and put it in the palm of her hand, feeling heavy and full.

He picked up the bamboo rice, put it in his mouth and bit it, his teeth snapped, and it took a little effort to bite it off.

The taste of bamboo is quite similar to raw rice, with a rich bamboo fragrance and a little sweetness than raw rice.

Xia Lunong put the bitten off bamboo fruit in front of her eyes.

The cross-section of the bamboo is gray-green and white, similar to rice.

"Good guy, it tastes good." Xia Lunong looked at Zhushi and muttered, "It doesn't feel much different from rice?"

Kong Zhi said: "Bamboo is also a grass plant."

"That's no wonder." Xia Lunong turned her head and asked, "Let's cook some bamboo rice later?"

"You decide." Xia Huoqu said and came to another bamboo plant, and motioned Yan Xiannian to hold that bamboo.

Yan Xiannian supported the bamboo with both hands, "I'm fine."

Xia Huoqu said "Hum", picked up the machete and bent over to chop, and chopped off the whole bamboo with one stroke.

Yan Xiannian looked down and praised Xia Huoqu with bent eyes, "Beautiful!"

"It's not difficult to cut bamboo." Xia Huo channeled, "Carry the bamboo over there."

Yan Xiannian also put another bamboo in the open space.

Xia Huoqu cut off the long trunk under the bamboo with two "boom booms", then erected the long trunk, cut off the upper part of the bottom section, and handed this section of bamboo to Xia Lu concentrated.

The cut bamboo joints were indeed filled with water. Xia Lunong held the bamboo joints in both hands, tilted his head slightly and looked down, "There are about 1000 milliliters."

Yan Xianian said with emotion, "It's really a water storage device. There are so many knots, if there is so much water in each bamboo tube, it will definitely be enough."

Xia Huo channeled: "Taste the taste of this water first, can you drink it?"

Xia Lunong nodded, without taking another bowl, took a sip while holding the bamboo knot, sipped it slowly, and said: "It's okay, except for a little bamboo fragrance, there is no other smell, it feels like mineral water."

Kong Zhi stretched out his hand, "I'll try."

Xia Lunong gave him the bamboo tube, "Try it."

Kong Zhi took a sip, tasted it carefully and nodded in agreement with his judgment.

While they were drinking water, Xia Huoqu had already chopped off another bamboo node with a bang, picked it up, tasted it, and nodded, expressing his satisfaction with the quality of the water.

After taking a sip, he passed the water to Yan Xiannian to process the bamboo.

Yan Xiannian was the last to drink water.

He tasted it very carefully, and said after tasting: "It's perfect drinking water, almost indistinguishable from mineral water."

Xia Lunong agreed, "I think so too."

Yan Xianian smiled, "Wherever we go from now on, we can basically guarantee the water source with you."

Xia Lunong: "As long as I have enough abilities and don't go to the desert, it should be fine."

"Okay, remember your words."

Xia Lunong tasted the bamboo fruit and drank the bamboo water, so she had time to see what they brought back.

"Wild birds?" Xia Lunong squatted and looked at the wild birds brought back by his brother, "It's very fat."

Yan Xi Nian said: "I must pick the fat ones, what's the use of the skinny ones?"

"That's right." Xia Lunong said, "The bamboo has just grown bamboo shoots, so tonight we will eat stir-fried bird meat with pickled peppers and bamboo shoots? How about a rice with white rice and bamboo shoots?"

Everyone has no opinion.

Kong Zhi picked up the wild bird, "I'm going to shed its feathers."

"Then I'll wash rice and chop vegetables."

Xia Lunong went back to the truck and took out the pot and rice, lit a fire to prepare for cooking, and boiled water along the way, and used hot water for the birds to shed their feathers later.

After the fire was lit, smoke came out, and there was a breath of cooking smoke in an instant.

Under the smoky yellow sky, the few of them were busy with each other, and the scene was very warm.

Xia Huoqu first sent over some of the bamboo that had been cleaned up. Xia Lunong didn't know how the bamboo tasted, so he didn't put too much, and only put two handfuls in half a pot of rice.

After washing the rice, Xia Lunong hung the pot on the firewood to watch Kong Zhi shed his hair.

The bird has been killed, and the blood of the bird is set aside. Put the bird meat in a basin, pour hot water into it, and scald it to shed its hair.

The skin of wild birds is very thin, so you need to be careful when moulting, otherwise the skin will be pulled off together.

Xia Lunong's cooking skills are okay, but she can't do these chores well.

Kong Zhi does not do anything calmly.

Soon, Kong Zhi processed the bird meat, chopped it into pieces, and handed it to Xia Lunong.

Xia Lunong blanch the bamboo shoots in water first, and then fry them in hot oil.

The evening wind blows over, and the aroma of fried bird meat wafts everywhere.

At the same time, the wind is also mixed with the scent of white bamboo rice.

A few people hadn't eaten yet, and their stomachs were growling when they smelled the fragrance.

Yan Xiannian and the others had already removed all the bamboo fruits, but they hadn't been sieved yet, and there were a lot of debris inside.

It is inconvenient in the wild. They are first packed in sacks, and then sieved after being transported back to the base to dry and then stored.

Yan Xiannian put Xia Huoqu's shoulders back and sat down by the pot, took a bamboo tube from the side, gave Xia Huoqu a drink of water first, and then gulped down the rest of the water by himself.

He drank the sweet water, but his stomach was still hungry, rubbed his belly, and asked Xia Lunong, "Xiao Nong, how long do you have to cook the bird meat?"

"It's about the same when the soup is dry. The bird meat is tougher, so it needs to be simmered for a while, or it won't be able to chew." Xia Lunong half stood up and took a look at the situation in the pot, then sat back on the small stool, "Dinner It hasn't been stewed yet, it will probably take one to two 10 minutes."

Yan Xiannian said with emotion, "When I'm hungry, the smell of the food always feels extra delicious, and my stomach is on fire."

Xia Lunong tilted his head, "There is jerky in the car, brother, you eat some jerky to pad your stomach first?"

"Forget it." Yan Xinian said full of expectation, "I have to save my stomach for fried bird meat."

Xia Lunong held her chin, "Then wait."

The four sat around the fire while waiting for the food to be ready.

As night fell little by little, their faces were glowed red by the light of the fire, which saved the effort of lighting another lamp.

After finally waiting for the poultry meat to finish stewing, Yan Xiannian was the first to jump up to get the bowls and chopsticks, "Hurry up, hurry up, I'm so hungry."

Xia Huoqu sat by the fire, lazily still.

Yan Xiannian shook off the water in the bowl, took the rice spoon to serve the rice, and handed the first bowl to Xia Huoqu, "Taste it quickly."

The first bowl of rice served by Kong Zhi was given to Xia Lunong first.

The four of them removed some of the firewood from the wok, gathered around the wok and ate directly with the bamboo shoots in the wok.

Xia Lunong took the job and sniffed it first.

The rice they eat is all new rice grown this year. The cooked rice is oily and fragrant, and tastes sweet.

This time the rice was cooked with bamboo seeds, the white rice was dyed a light green color, and it smelled even more of a bamboo fragrance.

Xia Lunong picked up the rice and blew it, and stuffed it into her mouth.

The hot rice is fragrant and soft, and when you eat it, the unique sweetness of the starch is very obvious.

Xia Lunong closed his eyes happily, feeling that he could eat three big bowls of rice without any side dishes.

When Xia Lunong was intoxicated by eating, his brother said beside him, "Something is wrong."

With half a mouthful of food in her mouth, Xia Lu looked up at his brother, not knowing why.

After tasting it carefully, Yan Xiannian agreed, "This bamboo has the effect of honeysuckle."

This description is magical, Xia Lunong looked at Kong Zhi.

Kong Zhi also nodded.

Xia Lu's eyes were full of suspicion, she chewed and smacked carefully and slowly with her cheeks moving.

After a while, he himself felt that there was indeed something surging in the bamboo rice, similar to honeysuckle, and also similar to honey, it was very weak, and if he didn't catch it carefully, he could hardly feel it.

Xia Huoqu picked up a piece of bamboo shoots from the pot, tasted it and said: "There are also bamboo shoots, it feels like a kind of energy, and it is also very weak."

Several people stretched out their hands to pick up the bamboo shoots.

Xia Lunong put a piece of bamboo shoot in his mouth, the first feeling was delicious.

The bamboo shoots are very tender, fully soaked in the broth of the bird meat, fresh and tender, with a slight spicy and salty taste, and a unique taste of pickled peppers, very delicious to eat with rice.

After tasting it carefully, he felt the faint energy.

"I seem to understand why Ju Niu is particularly interested in Xia Huajiao." Xia Lunong paused her chopsticks, "Do you think Ju Niu also tasted that energy?"

Yan Xiannian nodded, "Maybe? We used the peppercorns produced by Xiahuajiao, and we didn't seem to feel anything at the time."

Xia Lunong said: "That's because we don't use it much? We eat bamboo shoots and bamboo fruits. If we don't taste them carefully, we just think they are very delicious, and it is difficult to find the energy inside. When seasoning with pepper, we also think it is very delicious. It is estimated that there is not much energy, so I didn’t find it.”

Xia Huo's channel: "Go back and check it out. Then compare the difference between the peppercorns produced by Xiahuajiao itself and the peppercorns it produces after you input the ability."

"Okay!" Xia Lunong nodded, "We still have to check whether this energy is harmful or cause distortion."

When Yan Xiannian talked about this, he felt a bit of a headache, "We need to find a special person to study it, and we need to get a batch of instruments. I guess we have to repair the computer we got at N University last time before we talk about it."

Xia Huo channel: "Take your time, don't rush. First contact other bases to explain our findings, and ask all major bases to investigate together."

Yan Xiannian nodded, "Let's talk about it when we get back. Let's not mention Xiao Nong's supernatural power, let's just say that the edible fruit produced by the mutated plant contains a special kind of energy."

Kong Zhi said: "There are also products of mutated animals, such as honey, milk, etc."

Xia Lunong was belatedly trying to answer the conversation. It would be better to find that they had finished talking, so she had to sit back on the stool with her slightly raised buttocks, and stuffed a big mouthful of rice into her mouth, making her cheeks bulge.
