"These thin branches are full of little olives, so I don't cut them."
"If the candied fruit tastes good, they should grow up too, and I'll cut it when the time comes."
Muqing got down from the tree, picked the olives on the branch and put them in his backpack.
Weigh it in, it's quite a lot.
After cooking, take a small part to soak, in case it is not delicious, it will not affect the taste of the nectar.
"The advantage of getting up early is that the time of the day seems to be particularly durable."
"It's only past ten o'clock in the morning. I'm not hungry after eating mice, and I can still walk here for a long time."
Bitter olives are bitter and unpalatable, but the aftertaste is good.
Muqing held one in his hand, gnawing on it bit by bit.
The machete in his hand was stroked and pulled repeatedly, clearing away the vegetation that blocked the view, so as to observe whether there was hidden food underground.
"Suddenly I really want to have a bowl of fragrant rice."
"You said, why is there no one farming in such a fertile place?"
I saw a few plants that looked like rice on the side of the road, which aroused Muqing's yearning for the staple food.
From his daily food analysis, the supply of protein is barely sufficient.
Carbohydrates are obviously not enough, which makes him often feel emotionally inexplicable loss.
[You say, why is there no gold to dig in such a good place? 】
[You said, why is there no girl to pick up such a good place? 】
【Hahahaha, Brother Mu really wants to fart. 】
[Do it yourself, have enough food and clothing, and you can still grow a la carte all around the camp. 】
【Didn’t Brother Mu find wild vegetables last time? Dig some and go back and plant them. 】
[Laughing to death, is growing vegetables really an ancestral talent? 】
Growing vegetables?
If you can find productive ones that are easy to feed, that sounds like a good idea.
"I found that the olives are okay. They don't really taste good, but the aftertaste is very sweet, and the whole throat feels very comfortable after eating."
As he said that, Mu Qing took out a few more olives from his backpack, stuffed them in his pockets and ate them slowly.
"I seem to have found something good, go and have a look."
Muqing walked forward a few meters quickly, carefully looked at the plants in front of him, picked off a leaf, and showed it to the audience.
"Look, does this leaf look like a small fan?"
"Life has been very difficult recently. I decided to follow the example of the older generation and dig some tree roots to eat."
Putting the things aside, Mu Qing used the stick he had sharpened in the morning to pry open the soil layer on the tree roots.
"This thing should be familiar to everyone, right?"
"This is called cassava, and we eat its roots."
"Cassava is rich in vitamins and carbohydrates, and it is also one of the most important foods in times of famine."
"The taste of ripe cassava is similar to that of sweet potatoes, while the tender ones are a bit like yacon. When I was young, I dug and ate the tender ones and got poisoned."
【What?Will be poisoned? 】
[Rich in vitamins and carbohydrates, and will be poisoned, this, this, this]
[Brother Mu who will be poisoned still dares to dig it up and eat it, it should be slightly poisonous. 】
[Isn’t cassava flour good for snacks? 】
[This one will spit up milk, I have seen it in Gongdou drama. 】
[Please note: Do not drink milk after eating. 】
[Anchor: Where can I get milk to drink? 】
"Cough cough cough, ha ha ha ha."
"Hey, hey, cough, cough, cough."
While digging cassava, Muqing looked up at the barrage, and was immediately blown away by Xiu.
"Isn't it? Where can I get milk in this barren mountain?"
"I was poisoned when I was a child because of improper handling. I ate raw cassava when I saw it growing tender."
Mu Qing helped his chest, which was suffering from coughing due to choking, and wanted to complain but was very powerless.
"Cassava contains cyanide and should not be eaten raw under any circumstances."
"Sweet cassava has low cyanide content, so it can be eaten after peeling and cooking. If it is bitter cassava, you need to be more cautious."
While speaking, Muqing had already dug out a long and thin cassava.
Pick it up and have a look.
"I also can't tell if it's sweet or bitter cassava."
"For the sake of safety, I dig a few back first, peel off the outer skin and soak in the creek for a few days."
"This cassava tree is huge and if eaten it would provide me with a staple food for a long time."
Mu Qing dug four big ones and three small ones, shook the soil and put them into the basket.
"I'm so thirsty, I have no water to drink."
"The harvest is not bad. Go back to see if the mouse trap has any harvest, and then go to the camp."
"The cassava needs to be soaked, the olives need to be pickled, and there are still many things to do today."
Muqing has the habit of clearing weeds along the way, and soon found the rat trap along the cleared road.
"Hey? The trap in front seems to have been triggered, isn't it very good?"
