Little Village Chief of Taoyuan Village [Hologram]

Chapter 69 Breadtree and Gnocchi Soup

Qinghe and the three of them passively accepted the arduous task of sand control and could not go back on their word.Fortunately, there was no agreed completion time when the task was announced, otherwise Xiaoyao and Taotie would consider killing the account and starting over.As for Qinghe, he stayed in Taoyuan Village as the village head all his life.

On this day, the three of Qinghe wandered to the edge of the oasis and desert amidst the distressed expressions of Dawu and the others, calling it an on-the-spot investigation.

"Village Chief, do you know the reason?" Xiaoyao pointed to the yellowing leaves on the edge of the oasis, which seemed to be about to wither.

Qinghe shook his head: "I don't know, Taotie should know better? A researcher."

Taotie looked surprised: "I'm researching the development of nutrient solutions, not how to turn sand into grass."

The three of them stared wide-eyed and sighed secretly.The young Ya, who was following the three of them, looked sad and muttered to himself: There are more yellow grass again, and the range of activities is even smaller.

After looking at the edge of the oasis and being puzzled, the three of Qinghe went to the oasis to see if there was anything new.Not to mention that the three of them in Qinghe are heartless, the young boy behind them is already sad enough, if he wants to show expressions like "hopeless" and "powerless" again, won't the young boy cry?

"Ya, what are these tall trees growing?" Qinghe looked up at the row of giant trees on the right, with some gray-brown fruits faintly hanging from the crown.

The young bud said in a low voice: "These are bread trees. I can eat one for three days. Our Huangsha tribe survives by relying on this staple food."

There was no lack of pride and self-satisfaction in the young man's depressed tone, which was the confidence brought by the bread tree.

"breadfruit tree?"

"Breadfruit!"

Xiaoyao and Taotie were unheard of, and they looked curious.Qinghe has an unbelievable expression on his face: before crossing, there was also a kind of bread tree, which grows in the tropics, but the bread tree here is very good, growing in the desert.

How willful it is!

"Well, bread tree!" Ya said affirmatively, "I'll pick one now for you to taste."

Saying that, Ya was like a nimble monkey, hugging the trunk that was as wide as a person, and quickly climbed up.

The crown of the tree is at least ten meters above the ground, looking soaring into the sky.The bud quickly becomes a little pip, moving fast.

The three of Qinghe didn't dare to take a breath, for fear that the bud would fall off the tree in fright.so tall?How can you survive if you fall?Even Xiaoyao is ready to pick him up, if Ya really falls, try to pick him up as much as possible.

Soon, another small dot appeared in the crown of the tree. This time, it carried a gray-brown oval fruit on its back, which made it slow down a lot in moving speed.

"Oh, it can be regarded as coming down." Taotie heaved a long sigh, with a look of rejoicing.

Xiaoyao also withdrew his strength and stood aside with a stern face, thinking about how to teach him that climbing trees in this situation was too dangerous in the future after the buds came down.

Just Qinghe, after confirming Ya's safety, stared expectantly at the breadfruit on Ya's back.

The further down you climb, the faster the buds will grow.At a place about one or two meters above the ground, Ya leaped with both feet, jumped down at once, and stood firmly.

"It's too dangerous, I can't climb like this in the future." Xiaoyao also forgot the belly draft just now, and said straight to the point.

"That's right, it's too dangerous. My heart is pounding when I see it." Taotie followed.

Ya smiled shyly, and handed out the breadfruit tied to his back as a treasure offering: "This one is already ripe and very fragrant."

Before Qinghe crossed, he had only heard about breadfruit, although the breadfruit grown in the desert here is not necessarily the kind of breadfruit that grew in the tropics before crossing.However, Qinghe still happily took a sip and tasted the taste.

After chewing a few mouthfuls, the taste is dry and the taste is very ordinary.It's like raw dry flour, it's hard to swallow when it's sucked on the tongue.

"It's delicious!" Ya's eyes were shining brightly, and the three visitors from afar who had been waiting to try the taste praised it a few times.

Qinghe nodded with difficulty, Xiaoyao and Taotie, who were a beat behind, didn't see Qinghe's expression, but saw him nodding and thought the taste was really good, so they also grabbed a large piece and ate it.

In an instant, the two of them frowned, looked at each other and praised Ya with anticipation.

"Right, I just said that our breadfruit tastes the best." Ya was so happy that he even forgot the sadness just now, and generously handed the remaining breadfruit to Qinghe: "Give it to you, I'm starving myself Pick it up again."

For the rest of the journey, Qinghe held the huge gray-brown fruit and thought hard, and he didn't even bother to ask about the unknown plants he encountered along the way.

After shopping around, I received a huge breadfruit.The three of Qinghe returned to the tent arranged by the Huangsha tribe.

As soon as Taotie entered the tent, he was in a hurry to find water to drink, took out a bottle from the storage space, and drank more than half of it in one gulp.Xiaoyao took Taotie's half-bottle of water without any hassle, and felt bored.

"Village Chief, I've been hurt badly by you." Taotie finally regained his composure after having half a bottle of water in his belly, and accused him feebly.

Qinghe was noncommittal, and took out a bottle of water from the storage space, but instead of drinking it, he unscrewed the bottle cap and poured the water into the breadfruit.

The three of them took a sip each under the enthusiasm of Ya, and just dug a hole in the center of the breadfruit.There is another hard shell on the outside of the breadfruit, and Qinghe's bottle of water can just pour it all in.

The breadfruit soaked up the water and became mushy.Qinghe washed his hands and began to stir vigorously.Sure enough, the breadfruit was mixed into a paste in no time.

Seeing this, Taotie understood a little bit, and said anxiously: "Oh! This kind of mixing is like the dough you made before, the village chief."

"Really? How about we just give it a try?" Qinghe said, and took out a set of cooking tools.

Breadfruit has been stirred into a paste. If you want to know the difference between him and flour, just make a pot of gnocchi soup.

Ignite the fire to boil the water, Qinghe mixed the breadfruit paste with a pair of chopsticks, and scalded the breadfruit paste with a pair of chopsticks in the boiling water, and soon the white and fat gnocchi floated.

Finally, Qinghe ordered a pot full of noodle soup.Seeing that the stomachs of the three of them couldn't finish it, Qinghe decided to fish out two bowls first, and give a bowl to each of Da Wu and Ya who ventured to pick breadfruit.

After eating gnocchi soup all night, the three of them were looking forward to it, after all, there are also ingredients worth collecting here.

Just as the three of Qinghe were seriously discussing how to prevent and control sandstorms, Da Wu and Ya, who had been given noodle soup, knocked on the door excitedly holding porcelain bowls.

"Village chief, what is this?" The porcelain bowl that the big witch brought over had almost no lumps in it, and he presumably hurried over after tasting one.

Qinghe didn't hide his secrets, and said: "This is the noodle soup made from the breadfruit of your Huangsha tribe."

The gnocchi in the bud bowl was already empty, and he said in surprise, "Breadfruit? Don't you just pick the breadfruit and eat it?"

Qing Hedao: "There are tens of thousands of different ways to eat all the foods that can be eaten. If we eat dried bread and fruit, we can stir it with water to make pancakes, pimple soup, noodles, etc..."

After saying these words, not only Dawu and Ya, but even Taotie looked deep in thought.

......

The atmosphere of the Huangsha Tribe was high that day. It turned out that the three respected guests brought back by Sha actually invented a fresh way to eat breadfruit.It is said that when the method taught by the guest is used to make breadfruit, it is no longer necessary to eat a little breadfruit and drink a large pot of water.

Discovered a new method of food preparation, which is still a life-and-death ration-breadfruit.The excitement of the Huangsha tribe is beyond words, so they decided to hold a bonfire party tomorrow.

Early in the morning of this day, Qinghe watched the grand occasion of the Huangsha tribe picking breadfruit.It was also at this moment that Qinghe discovered how many breadfruits there were in this oasis!

I can only see densely packed towering giant trees, and even the interval between each tent is separated by bread trees.

The bread tree has a straight body, and the branches and leaves are the autumn leaves that hang on the crown of the tree.Therefore, the space between the two bread trees can also grow green plants.The Huangsha tribe seems to know how to take care of bread trees, and the rest of the green plants are out of scale and sparse.

"Da Wu, did you plant these bread trees on purpose?" Qing He couldn't help asking.

The big witch looked around at the bread trees in the oasis, and proudly said: "These are all planted by my people. In recent years, because of these bread trees, no one in our tribe has starved to death."

Looking at the endless bread tree on the oasis, Qinghe felt a bad guess for some reason.

Is there a reason for the shrinking of the oasis and the large expanse of bread trees?

The bonfire party was held next to Dawu's tent. On this day, the Huangsha Tribe sang and danced to sing about Qinghe's selfless sharing.

The Huangsha tribe also has those skillful hands. After hearing Qinghe's simple description, they really made pancakes. They are delicious, fragrant and crunchy.

Only Qinghe is worried.

"Village head?" Xiaoyao couldn't help shouting after noticing Qinghe's absence after eating a cake baked by a villager.

"what!"

"Oh!"

Qinghe restrained his thoughts, thought for a moment and said: "Perhaps I guessed the reason why the oasis is gradually deserting..."

The author has something to say: What caused the oasis to shrink?Let's listen to the next chapter to break down~~
