In the next few days, Bai Xiong took Xiao Hei, Bai Huan and Bai Cao into the mountains to find food that could be eaten this season, and taught the cubs how to find food in the mountains.Bai Xiong was also pleasantly surprised to find a wild vegetable that he often ate in his previous life—mountain bracken.

Mountain bracken is a kind of fern sprouts that look like fluffy little fists, so they call this kind of wild vegetable "Haierquan". After its own astringent taste, if you can't finish it, you can dry it and save it. When you eat it, soak it in warm water. It is delicious when you use it to stir-fry or braise.

Seeing Bai Xiong go to pick that fluffy plant sprout, Bai Cao gave him a hand: "This is not tasty, it is very bitter."

Bai Xiong paused, of course he knew that bracken was bitter and astringent when eaten directly, and it also had a sticky taste. If this thing is to be delicious, it must be blanched first. Put it in boiling water and scald until it is fully cooked to remove the astringent taste and toxic substances of the bracken, and then it can be used for cooking, or dried in the sun to make dried vegetables.

"Don't worry, Brother Baicao, this thing is really edible. I used to...cough! Anyway, I know how to make it delicious, and there seem to be a lot of this kind of food. I want to try it and see if Xiao Hei and the others like it. If so , going out to experience, isn’t there another food that can be eaten?”

After thinking for a while, Baicao could only nod, and picked some fresh bracken sprouts for him.

He knew that Bai Xiong was right. It was the first time for the chicks to leave the tribe to practice, and their small wings could not fly very high. This meant that many of the wild fruits they could pick were not available to the chicks. He arrived, and he also discovered that most of the foods that Baixiong taught Xiao Hei to identify were relatively easy to obtain with Xiao Hei's height and strength, which can be said to be very practical.

In contrast, the so-called teaching of cubs that they take for granted seems particularly unreliable.

Teach cubs to hunt?With their small stature, they don't even qualify as prey, let alone hunt other animals by themselves.

Teach cubs to pick fruit from a tree?First, you have to teach the chicks of the tribe to climb trees...

Teaching cubs to fish?From the current point of view, Baixiong's extremely simple and small fishing net seems to be much more reliable than their experience.

Once again, Baicao secretly rejoiced that he had always had a good relationship with Baixiong. In this case, even if he brought his own cubs to class, he would not feel embarrassed. Pick out the good ones first, and only remember the benefits of Bai Xiong when Xiaojizizi needs help... Ha ha!

However, although the monsters in this continent are relatively selfish, they will not take advantage of others. On the first day, they were unprepared when they followed Bai Xiong to class. He brought some things over, some were a bundle of firewood, some were half a pot of grass seeds, two fish, and a piece of meat. Bai Xiong accepted it with a smile. It’s really not noble enough to use the only food I have to do good deeds. The grass seeds used in class yesterday have already used up their food reserves. Let’s do it again, even if these pheasants don’t express themselves, Bai Xiong will take the initiative to bring it up .

It’s okay to take lessons. Anyway, besides collecting food with Baicao and the others, the most important thing for him is to let Xiao Hei master as many survival skills as possible before the experience. He has inquired about it. It was the harvest season in this continent, about two and a half months, and he had enough time to store food and firewood for himself and Xiao Hei to survive the winter.

Today, they are going to take the chicks to the nearby mountain forest, and teach the chicks how to find edible food in the wild as much as possible under the constraints of height and weight according to the foraging skills adjusted after discussion between Baicao and Baixiong. Don’t even think about the food, the fruit on the tree, etc., with their small bodies, it’s useless!

The bracken discovered by Bai Xiong was strongly recommended by Bai Cao et al.

At first, everyone thought that this kind of fluffy bracken sprouts were not delicious. Unexpectedly, after the last time Baixiong was picked back, it was first thrown into a stone pot and boiled for a long time, and then it was washed repeatedly in the river. The dish has no outer layer of fluff, and the green is very nice.

Cut the processed bracken sprouts into small pieces, put two spoons of boiled meat oil and diced meat into the stone pot, add the chopped yellow heart purple lotus and stir fry for a while, then pour the bracken into it, stir fry and add Clean water, submerged bracken, cover the pot, bring to a boil, then simmer slowly, add the leaves of ashweed before serving, and a pot of delicious and tender wild boar stewed with bracken is ready.

When he smelled the smell, Baicao knew that he guessed wrong again this time, this fluffy and bitter bracken sprout can really be made into delicious food!

Another bite of stewed bracken, Baicao's eyes lit up, and he ate several mouthfuls quickly. The bracken stewed with the meat was stained with the aroma of the meat, tender and delicious. When picking the bracken, only the tenderest ones were picked Portions, very tasty.

"If you can't finish eating this kind of sprouts, you can dry them in the sun. When you want to eat them next time, boil them in hot water and soak them in. After soaking them soft, wash them and cut them into sections, then you can use them to stew. , if it is well preserved, it should be able to be preserved until the snow season." Bai Xiong reminded.

Baicao's eyes lit up, and when Baixiong proposed to teach the chicks how to use bracken sprouts to make food, he immediately agreed. This kind of bracken is everywhere in the mountains this season, and you can pick a lot if you pick it. If you can't catch prey in the wild, it's not bad to use this to feed your hunger.

A group of people carried a basket on their backs, and the chicks who had just grown their feathers followed their father, looking curiously at this mountain forest that was completely new to them.

The chicks are not allowed to leave the tribe after hatching until they start their experience. Even in the tribe, male pheasants take turns to guard and protect them every day. forests.

This is the hunting ground that their ancestors depended on for survival, and it is also the place they must conquer from chicks to adults!

Seeing a few chicks proudly puffing out their small chests, Xiao Hei sneered, lowered his head silently, and carefully identified the path under his feet, avoiding tree roots that might trip him up or thorns that might hurt him at any time.

By the time they arrived at the first food collection point, the other chicks had fallen several times, their hair was messed up, and even their claws were punctured. Only Xiao Hei, although he was silent all the way, was unscathed Followed the adult pheasants to the collection point.

Not even a chicken feather fell off.

"Your little Hei is too good!" Looking at his chickens with messy feathers, and then at Baixiong's calm and bright-colored little Hei, Baicao couldn't help being jealous.

It is the first time for the chicks to walk out of the tribe, and they are inevitably full of curiosity about the outside world. This is also the reason why the fathers did not specifically interfere with the actions of the chicks along the way. Some things, only after suffering, will they know what to do next. , especially for the curious chicks, letting them feel the ubiquitous dangers in the outside world is also the most important part of the experience.

"I think it's normal for our Xiao Hei to be like this. You guys usually protect the chicks too well in the tribe. Look at our Xiao Hei. When I usually do things, I let him play alone. Sometimes when collecting grass seeds, I will take him with me, maybe because I have been running outside for a long time, so I am more stable in walking than other cubs." Bai Xiong vaguely reminded Bai Cao.

It is a bit offensive to say this, especially the pheasants of the Baishang tribe, who dote on their own cubs without limit. If the cub is freed, I am afraid that no one will be willing to let it go.

Bai Cao froze for a moment, shook his head with a wry smile, of course he knew Bai Xiong was right, but, looking at the fluffy and soft chicks, how could he be willing to let this little guy suffer~

After arriving at the collection point, I was going to start teaching the chickens to collect food immediately after taking a break. I didn't expect that the ambitious chickens were all wilted when they set off. After a few words, the chicks simply got into their father's arms, only revealing a fluffy and fat skin facing him.

Baicao was about to die of anger, and their chicken Chufang was also against him, refusing to leave the camp to collect food. There was no other way, and Baixiong couldn't wait for them all the time, so he had to take Xiaohe to collect food nearby. food.

There are a lot of wild vegetables that can be eaten in the forest, and within a short time they picked half of the baskets of bracken sprouts, gray vegetables, purple lotus with yellow heart, and a wild vegetable with long leaves.Because it is not far from the tribe, there are no dangerous large beasts here, and some grass snakes dare to bully and bully the chicks. They noticed that there was a group of adult pheasants nearby, and they did not know where to hide. Therefore, except They didn't catch any other prey from the wild vegetables. Originally, Baicao wanted the chickens to try to dig out the ant's nest. The ant eggs inside are also good food, but his Xiaohei obviously doesn't like this kind of food. Baixiong I didn't force him anymore, he didn't like it anyway.

Seeing that it was almost done, Bai Xiong wanted to take Xiao Hei back. Unexpectedly, Xiao Hei dug a hole in the ground with his small claws at some point, and pecked off the root of a plant below with his sharp mouth. Put it at Baixiong's feet, and chirped twice.

"Is this edible too?" Bai Xiong knows that Xiao Hei also likes to find some food by himself, and he enthusiastically shares it with him. Children can take the initiative to share food with adults, which is a behavior worth encouraging. Bai Xiong His desire to share was satisfied every time, and this time was no exception. He picked up the piece of plant root, wiped it with the wet leather he brought with him, put it in his mouth and took a bite.

A burst of sweet juice burst out in an instant, spreading in the mouth.

This is... sugar? !
