It is not easy to traverse the wilderness

Rich, like the children of all tribes, always yearns for food infinitely. Since Song Lai said he would bring him to find delicious food, he came to Song Lai's shack early, and An Ye was digging It is said that it is to build the foundation of a shack that can live in winter, and my grandfather and mother are also digging.He ran into the shack and saw that Song Lai was feeding the baby, he smiled and ran to Song Lai, looked at him straight, until he also filled a bowl for himself, and then happily lowered his head to eat.The food from Song Lai's house is always better than his own, which is a recognized fact in the tribe.

"Song Lai, Banxia has a cub. Eminem said that Banxia doesn't know if it can survive this winter, but Oss said that if the "house" you mentioned can be built, Banxia will be the first one. A woman who can give birth to babies in winter." Richie wentssip about the Song Lai tribe while eating the baby's meat soup.

"Ah, there is a cub?!" This is the first time Song Lai heard that someone was pregnant after traveling for more than a year, and he suddenly realized that he had never seen a tribe whose family had a child. It stands to reason that this primitive There should be no contraceptive measures in the human tribe, and every family is very normal, unlike me and An Ye who are male and female together, and they are both normal monogamous.No newborns were born for a year. If it is not that this race is more difficult to give birth to the next generation, it is that the people of the tribe are deliberately avoiding pregnancy. "When do the cubs in the tribe usually have more babies?" "Of course it is before the rainy season. At this time, cubs will be born in winter. It is hard for adults to live in winter, so how can you raise cubs!" Richie glanced at it as a matter of course. Song Lai.

"Uh~ well, let's go out to get sweet roots today, and I'll cook something delicious for you when we come back." When Rich heard that there was something delicious, he quickly followed Song Lai to pack the dishes and prepare to go.

The sweet root Song Lai always thought it was a tuber, but when he saw it, he realized that it was a tuber, which grows on the ground.Reddish ovate leaves on long stems, somewhat resembling miniature lotus leaves.All the stems come together to a fist-sized bulge at the root, which is the sweet root.When people in the tribe gather, they always cut off the raised sweet roots close to the ground, and then throw away the leaves.Song Lai casually picked up a stem under the leaf and put it in his mouth to chew. The faint herbaceous fragrance is slightly sweet. If this is mixed with salad dressing, it should taste very delicious. "The leaves of Song Lai's sweet root are not It's delicious, not sweet and has a grassy taste." What do you know when you eat meat, it's delicious.Obviously, no one likes this stem and leaf in the tribe. Indeed, the sweetness of the stem is a bit light for the tribe, while the sweetness of the sweet root is a bit strong. The tribe only eats the sweet root when food is scarce. of.So a large area grew nearby, and no one came to collect it.

Song Lai ignored Rich, and was going to take some stems back to stir fry. After looking at the stems and leaves that Rich casually threw on the ground, he decided to pick them himself.After pinching a few, I became impatient, grabbed the leaves with my hands and began to pull them out, and put them in the basket with the roots, leaves and soil removed. Song Lai lowered his head and moved forward, not noticing that he had left the sweet The ground where roots grow.

He suddenly felt that this sweet root was not as good as pulling it out just now, the one in his hand hadn't been fucked for a long time.Song Lai pulled it hard and ended up squatting on the ground with a big ass, frowning and looking at the sweet root in his hand, hey~~ It seems not right.The leaves of the sweet root in my hand are also reddish, but the stem does not want the sweet root. The stem of the sweet root is a stem that goes to the bottom. There are obvious segments on the stem with other leaves. Like ordinary plants, it is not a stem with only one leaf. .The important thing is that at the base of this stem grows a bulb the size of half a fist.Song Lai took it in his hand and looked closely. The stems and leaves of this plant grew in the depression of the sphere. Hey, is this a potato or a sweet potato?

Rich was attracted by Song Lai's nervous laughter, and when he walked up to him, he saw Song Lai laughing at this sweet root. "Song Lai, what's the matter with you?" Richie asked cautiously some distance away from Song Lai. Seeing his appearance, Song Lai just beckoned, "Come here." Seeing that Song Lai was back to normal, little Richie walked over happily , but was flicked on the forehead by Song Lai, "Do you know this?" The non-sweet sweet root leaves are sometimes eaten without eating, what's wrong? ""Only eat the leaves?"Have you ever eaten root? "Song Lai is a little strange, obviously the roots can also be eaten." E-Mu said that the roots should not be hurt, so that they can continue to eat some next year. "Song Lai's heavy fog.

The ancient people had a very simple idea. If this thing can be eaten, the root should be preserved so that it can be eaten later. Song Lai thought about it carefully, and he came to the tribe for more than a year. Sure enough, all the fruits and vegetables only grow on the ground The part that is not underground, the lotus root was discovered by myself and told everyone.Song Lai looked around carefully, and found that there were quite a lot of sweet potato seedlings.The sweet potato in his hand is obviously not yet ripe, and it is estimated that it will be harvested before the rainy season.

Holding Rich's face with both hands and rubbing it up and down, "Baby remember this place, bring us to get winter food when winter comes." "Can it be delicious like lotus root without starving in winter?" Qi stared at Song Lai adoringly, "Well, it's better than that." "Oh, that's great, Song Lai, you're amazing." Rich jumped up happily.

Song Lai pressed him lightly, "How's the sweet root picking going?" Enough, and led Rich to go back.Along the way, Rich kept asking Song Lai, is that kind of winter food delicious, can it be eaten for a long time, and won't you go hungry this winter?Seeing Richie's little face full of yearning, Song Lai felt that he should work harder. There are too many edible things in this vast and fertile land, and these intelligent creatures destined to be the top food, just because I don't understand, I'm still hungry.For a moment, he felt that he could actually become a god.But thinking of the so-called Vulcan, Song Lai still felt that it would be better to live the present life with peace of mind.

Back at home, wash and cut the sweet root into pieces, then put it in a stone bowl and crush it with stones, pour it into a pottery jar, add water and stir it, let it settle for a while, pour the water into the pottery pot and boil, wait for the water to slow down It was slowly boiled away, and there was a layer of yellowish crystals on the bottom of the pot. Sure enough, sugar can be extracted from this matter. Rich waited for a day, and saw Song Lai there fiddling with pots and jars like making lotus root powder, but finally harvested Something that was the same as salt, so he stepped forward and pulled Song Lai, "Song Lai, the one you said is delicious." Song Lai was almost done, and he was very happy to see the small jar of candy. Qi took a small sample of grievances, and smiled and said, "Go and get some yellow fruits." There is a yellow fruit tree growing near the camp. The yellow fruits here are a bit like apples, but they are sour and smaller than apples. The yellow fruits of this season It is not yet ripe and has no sweet taste at all. Basically, no one will pick it and eat it.

As soon as Rich heard that he wanted to eat yellow fruit, he lingered and refused to move, "Song Lai yellow fruit is not delicious." "Hurry up, it will be delicious after you finish it. Take more." Rich had to go pick it for Song Lai. The yellow fruit is gone.

Song Lai took all the sweet root slag left in the pottery jar into a pottery pot and boiled it with water. Stirring constantly, the contents of the pot gradually became extremely viscous, because it was not pure sugar, there was still sugar in it. Sweet root dregs, soon a sweet burnt aroma spread in the shack.When Rich came back with the yellow fruit in his arms, Song Lai had just turned down the fire and told Rich to continue stirring the contents of the clay pot. He washed the yellow fruit that Rich brought, removed the core and cut it into [-]cm squares. The small pieces are put on a large plate. This huge plate is usually used to hold barbecue, and the huge plate that can hold two roast chickens at a time is full.

Using animal skins as a cushion, Rich and Song Lai grabbed the still hot clay pot and poured all the syrup in it onto the plate. After it was poured, Song Lai took a wooden shovel and vigorously turned the plate, trying to make every piece The yellow fruits are all wrapped in syrup.Then use chopsticks to separate the yellow fruit pieces as much as possible, so as not to stick them together and it will be inconvenient to eat, "Deng thump thump thump~ Please taste the famous northeastern dish yellow fruit shreds~!" Song Lai did a classic Huang Feihong action Invite Rich to taste the freshly made shredded yellow fruit.

"Ah, it's hot!~" "Oh, wait for it to cool down!" Someone completely forgot when he kindly invited someone to eat just now.After waiting for the shredded silk to cool down, Rich ate a full bowl, "Song Lai, this is really delicious. Can I get a bowl for Eminem?" "Of course, but the bowl has to be sent back to me, okay?" ?” “Yes, I see.” Rich ran away happily.

Song Lai thought for a while and packed a big bowl for Aussie. When he walked to Aussie's shack, he saw Huang Yang was digging the ground for Aussie.After saying hello, he walked into the shack, and saw Ban Xia kneeling beside Oss with a haggard face, and Oss also had a sad expression on his face. "Oss shaman, I really can't keep this cub." "What are you eating and vomiting now, your body is almost at its limit, how can you give birth to a cub, and this cub will be born in winter, even if If you take the risk to give birth, it is very difficult to survive the winter." "But Song Lai's baby has survived the winter." Song Lai heard that he was mentioned, and walked up to the two of them, "What's the matter? Yes?" Seeing Song Lai, the two fell silent suddenly.

Seeing that no one told him what was going on, Song Lai handed the shredded yellow fruit in his hand to Oss, "Do you have a taste of my new dessert?" Oss glanced at Song Lai and said He picked one up and put it in his mouth, and ate it silently without saying anything.Song Lai saw that Aussie was so unappreciative, so he handed the bowl to Banxia, ​​"Come to Banxia, ​​and you can try it too. Richie ate a small bowl of that." Banxia forced a smile, and reached out to take it. I took a small piece and ate it.After eating, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Song Lai, "Can I have another piece?" "Of course." Song Lai saw that Ban Xia was saving face, so he put the bowl in Ban Xia's hand.As a result, Pinellia ate the small bowl of shredded yellow fruit in a short time.

Oss stared blankly at Banxia, ​​and after eating Banxia took a small bowl of shredded yellow fruit and said to Oss, "Oss, I'm hungry, I want to eat. I want to eat a lot."
