Surviving Endless Disasters

After returning to the cave, Wen Zheng started to get busy. The process of making rice skin was learned from Grandpa Gu next door.

Grandpa Wen often plays at Grandpa Gu's house. Whenever Wen Zheng comes back from school, if there is no one at home, he will go to Grandpa Gu's house to look for him. Tuci can find out where Grandpa Wen is going five times out of eight times. Grandpa Wen was playing at Grandpa Gu’s house.

Thanks to the good relationship between the two families, Grandpa Wen and Wen Zheng are able to taste Grandpa Gu’s superb craftsmanship. Every time they eat, they often listen to Grandpa Gu explain how he makes these dishes. Not to mention, listen. It's a great meal.

It was because of the meals he had eaten at Grandpa Gu’s house that even though Wen Zheng had not officially learned cooking from Grandpa Gu or even been in the kitchen a few times, he knew many cooking methods clearly and was able to cook on a deserted island. Show off your skills.

Soak the washed rice in clean water until it can be crushed easily with your hands.

However, with Wen Zheng's current hand strength, this method is not suitable for use.

But this rice was soaked last night, so it’s definitely fine to eat today.

Speaking of which, Wen Zheng was thinking about what to eat last night, even soaking the rice, but today he asked Tuantuan what he wanted to eat, just to tease him.

After soaking, you can grind the rice into rice milk. Speaking of grinding the rice into rice milk, Grandpa Gu always grinds it with a food processor, and when he talks about it, he always says that it is ground with a stone mill. is the best.

Wen Zheng did not make a stone grinder. He relied on his own strength and used a stone mortar to grind the rice bit by bit. The step of grinding the rice into rice slurry took Wen Zheng several hours, and everyone was anxious.

After the white rice is ground into white and sticky rice milk, the remaining steps will be much easier.

Simply filter out the larger particles, and then add an appropriate amount of salt and starch to it. The starch is made from wild taro.

Put the evenly stirred rice milk into the pot and steam it to get a white and smooth rice crust.

Looking at the rice noodles that have been worked hard for a long time, I feel a sense of accomplishment in my heart, and I have to thank Grandpa Xiagu for this.

The prepared rice skins were placed on the water with a bamboo plate on ice, and Wen Zheng stir-fried the barley in a hot pot that steamed the rice skins.

Whether it is rice or wheat, it is basically made after hulling. However, the barley tea that Wen Zheng is making now is fried directly with the wheat husks.

In the hot shell pot, the barley is gradually fried into a brown color, giving it a unique grain aroma.

Fried barley tea can be stored for a long time.

Before eating, brew it with boiling hot water to get a fragrant barley tea.

Directly brew several bamboo tubes of barley tea, put it aside and slowly add some fried stone chestnut nuts, stir evenly to make cold rice noodles.

Cold rice noodles paired with fragrant barley tea. This meal looks very simple, but it is really troublesome to make. However, smelling the fragrance in the air, Wen Zheng felt that it took so long.

Just when Wen Zheng and Tuantuan were about to start eating, they heard a special sound outside. It was the sound of something coming out of the water.

Wen Zheng and Tuantuan acted at the same time, Tuantuan flew out first, and Wen Zheng followed closely behind with an axe. When he saw what was going on outside, Wen Zheng was stunned, but Tuantuan sped up with his eyes shining.

"Tuantuan, stop!" Just when Tuantuan's claws were about to touch, Wen Zheng finally came to his senses and shouted quickly to stop Tuantuan's attack. His voice was too high and too fast, and it was almost broken.

Even though he really wanted to attack, Tuantuan still listened to Wen Zheng's words, stopped his movements, fell to the ground and circled around the puddle.

What happened was the pit dug by Wen Zheng in the grass. After discovering that there were rocks underneath, a wild boar attacked, so Wen Zheng didn't have time to bury the pit.

After the wild boar leader was dealt with and Wen Zheng was busy harvesting barley, he found a lot of underground water in the pit. Wang Jian regarded it as a water storage hole and left it there without taking care of it.

Now, a little guest appeared in the pit.

Wen Zheng looked at the guest in the puddle. His black hair looked particularly smooth, and he had big watery black eyes. His face was completely oriental, with refined earthy features.

The skin is pink and tender, with a little baby fat on the face, which makes people want to pinch it twice.

The upper body was wearing black long sleeves, and the lower body was buried in the water. Looking at the upper body alone, he looked like a good-looking little boy, who looked about six years old. But what made Wen Zheng stunned was not because he saw a human being, but because The lower body of a little boy.

Now the little boy was looking at Tuantuan with frowning eyebrows and wary face. Tuantuan suddenly took a step forward. The little boy was anxious and waved his tail, hitting the water with a snapping sound and splashing water.

As a result, his actions could not help but scare Tuantuan away, and even made Tuantuan's eyes a little more enthusiastic.

The action just now made Wen Zheng see the blue tail with his own eyes.

Yes, tail.

The guest who appears in the puddle is a little mermaid with a blue tail! It was the same blue as the sea water in the shallow sea, with crystal clear water drops on it. Under the sunlight, the entire tail shone brightly. It was a beauty that cannot be described in words.

However, the wound on the tail destroyed this beauty. On this blue tail, there was a long wound that almost ran through the entire tail, which made people feel distressed just looking at it.

"Tuan Tuan, don't scare this little guest, come back quickly.

"Wen Zheng put down the ax in his hand and asked Tuantuan to come back quickly.

Reluctantly, he looked at the little mermaid again, but after hearing Zheng's words, Tuantuan flew back.

Suppressing the surprise that popped up the moment he saw the mermaid, Wen Zheng put down his axe, but secretly increased his vigilance. He was also worried that Tuan Tuan would fall into a trap, and he didn't feel relieved until Tuan Tuan returned to his side.

If it is a mythological world, then the little mermaid may be a mermaid from the West or a mermaid from the East, or other monsters that can change.

But this mission is in the world of technology, in a world where aliens exist, so it is more likely that the little mermaid is an alien.

The alien is the murderer who attacks Aquamarine. Although this little mermaid doesn't look like a bad guy, Tuantuan's safety is the most important. Just in case, Tuantuan should stay away from him.

Seeing the scary bird being called away by Wen Zheng, the little mermaid breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Wen Zheng with grateful eyes.

The bird absorbed the energy in the crystal, which was beyond the ability of his injured little mermaid to defeat.

The little mermaid tentatively opened her mouth and opened and closed it twice before she managed to make a sound. She smiled at Wen Zheng and said, "Thank you!" Looking at the little mermaid with trusting eyes, Wen Zheng felt inexplicably uncomfortable. He was now I was still doubting him, and then I heard the voice of the little mermaid.

As expected of a mermaid, her voice is pleasant to the ear. Just two words of thank you can make people feel more relaxed in an instant.

"Do you speak Chinese?" Wen Zheng raised his voice and asked nonsense. Looking at the little mermaid in front of him, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that some places felt familiar to him.

But the appearance didn't look familiar. Wen Zheng glanced at it twice and moved his eyes to the clothes hanging to dry outside the bamboo pavilion. Then he suddenly realized that it was no wonder he looked so familiar. The black top this boy was wearing was completely a miniature version of himself. The holes on them are all the same.

"You tell me, I'll learn.

"The little mermaid speaks a little slowly, like a child who has just learned to speak.

After waking up, the little mermaid has been paying attention to Wen Zheng and Tuan Tuan's relationship.

There was no one to communicate with. Wen Zheng had to talk to Tuantuan no matter what happened every day, and sometimes he would talk to himself.
