Surviving Endless Disasters

Barley is a common staple food in the north. Wen Zheng grew up in the south and only knew that barley could be used as a staple food. He had no idea how to eat it. However, he had a roommate from the north in college. The roommate not only introduced it to them, but also brought them various foods made from barley and even made it himself in the dormitory.

This barley can also be ground into flour to make steamed buns and cakes. The taste is much more chewy than wheat flour, and the more you chew it, the more delicious it tastes. Today, Wen Zheng made noodles with barley flour, and it can also be mixed with other grains to make porridge and soy milk.

Barley can also be used to make bread and brew highland barley wine, but the northern roommate only mentioned it and he couldn't make it himself.

At that time, in the dormitory of the school, it was not allowed to use high-power electrical appliances illegally. The food made by the northerner did not require electrical appliances or living. In addition to the materials he prepared, he needed hot water, bowls and hands. It was a very simple food to make and can be preserved for a long time - tsampa.

First of all, tsampa is the same as barley tea. Barley with shells is fried and then ground into flour, which is completely opposite to the usual operation of removing shells and then grinding.

After the barley flour is ground out, it is to add things into it and then knead it into small balls.

Usually, tsampa is made by adding butter tea to barley flour. Wen Zheng doesn't even have milk or goat milk, let alone butter tea, so he can only add hot water.

In fact, adding hot water to barley flour and kneading it into balls is tsampa, but it doesn't taste good. Usually, some shredded cheese, white sugar, or butter are added to it, but unfortunately none of these are available.

In college, except for a few regular ones made by my northern roommates for everyone to try, the rest of the materials depended on everyone's free play.

The basic version is to add less water to the tsampa ball, and there is also tsampa mud with more water. The advanced version is to add any material to it as you like. If you like sweet, add sugar or various milks. If you like spicy, add hot sauce or even meat sauce. Some people make dark dishes, add spicy strips, chocolate, or even brewed isatis root granules.

Not to mention, some combinations taste good, but some combinations are not bad, that is, they cannot be eaten and can only be thrown into the trash can. No one thought that some things would be so powerful when combined.

This time Wen Zheng made tsampa. The basic version is a tsampa ball with only hot water, and the advanced version adds sweet fruit and chili respectively. He pinched them into the size of the little mermaid's fist, and distributed three of each to everyone.

After eating a large bowl of wide noodles, Tuantuan and the little mermaid felt that they were not too full, so they turned to tsampa.

Wen Zheng stood up and left with a piece of tsampa in his mouth.

The basic version of tsampa is fried barley flour and water. It only has the taste of barley flour itself, but it smells particularly fragrant.

The advanced version tastes much better. Whether it is sweet or spicy, it has a unique flavor, but it is a bit spicy if you eat too much.

At this time, I knew what the soup in the noodle soup was for, and I drank it all.

Although the taste of tsampa is good, it is not as delicious as other things made by Wen Zheng, and I am not full yet.

When the little mermaid and Tuan Tuan were confused, they saw Wen Zheng carrying a large plate with things on it.

Facing the curious eyes of the two little cuties, Wen Zheng put the plate on the table. In the middle was fried barley flour, and the bamboo tubes around it were all kinds of seasonings, as well as the meat sauce cooked by Wen Zheng himself, and the cooked shrimp and fish minced meat. This time he was going to let the two little cuties do it themselves, let them play so that they don’t always want to fight, and he can also take a break.

Hearing that they had to do it themselves, the little mermaid and Tuantuan were very excited. They looked at these things and thought about what they should add.

Wen Zheng wanted to demonstrate to them. He looked at the little mermaid, and the little mermaid shook her tail, and the hot water on the earthen stove flew into Wen Zheng's bowl. At the same time, cold water was added to the pot to continue boiling.

Wen Zheng added a small amount of barley flour to the bowl, and then added some meat sauce to it. After stirring, it became meat sauce tsampa mud, which tasted better. Then he added more barley flour, fish meat and shrimp meat, and kneaded it into seafood meat tsampa balls. This way of eating was also good.

The two little cuties were eager to try. The little mermaid summoned the water ball to wash her hands seriously. Tuantuan was about to fly to the water's edge when he saw the water ball suddenly appearing in front of him. He hesitated for a moment, looked at the little mermaid's serious look, and put his claws into the water ball to wash.

Since Tuan Tuan's claws were not very convenient, Wen Zheng helped to add various seasonings according to Tuan Tuan's instructions, but Tuan Tuan himself moved his mouth and claws to knead and mash, because he made it and ate it himself.

The two little cuties were having a lot of fun in the bamboo pavilion, and the scene was rare and harmonious.

Chapter 61 Time passed faster than expected, and in a blink of an eye, we arrived at the deserted island for 350 days, and there were still a few days before leaving the deserted island.

Wen Zheng had been living a leisurely life in the past few months. The closer he got to leaving the deserted island, the more panicked he felt, waiting to get good news from the little mermaid.

Now the land in this world has become an island. This destructive disaster can completely make human civilization regress several hundred years. Even if a year has passed, it is good enough for the governments to stabilize the current situation, but it is absolutely impossible to find this island protected by the alien energy shield. Wen Zheng's chance to leave the island still depends on the little mermaid. What will life be like after leaving the deserted island? After staying on the deserted island for so long, Wen Zheng has forgotten the skills of communicating with humans. People outside the deserted island are not as innocent as Tuan Tuan and the little mermaid.

However, looking at Tuan Tuan's current figure and thinking about the closeness of the little mermaid to himself, Wen Zheng thinks it is no big deal.

After leaving the island, even if the main task is completed, you can leave this world at any time. Even if death is not real death, there is nothing to fear.

From time to time, the sound of water flow and the rustling sound of the sea breeze blowing on the leaves can be heard on the beach in the distance, as well as Tuan Tuan's excited chirping and the mermaid's sweet singing.

These two little guys have to make a scene like this every day. In the process of the two little cuties fighting, not only did their original abilities improve, but they also discovered new abilities.

The little mermaid's control over water became more and more exquisite. Now he can distract himself and control three streams of water. Now his goal is to try to separate the water in the sea water from other things. It can be seen that Wen Zheng proposed it.

Tuan Tuan suddenly awakened the ability to control the wind in a battle of wits and courage with the little mermaid. Even though this ability is not yet mature, it has made Wen Zheng and Tuan Tuan quite excited.

Tuan Tuan can only let the wind help Wen Zheng separate the barley husks and barley grains. He is working hard to use the wind to let Wen Zheng fly in the sky.

The voice of the little mermaid has a power to confuse people, but Tuan Tuan's cry can cleanse the confused people. Even those who are not confused will have clearer minds after hearing Tuan Tuan's cry. These have been experimented on Wen Zheng.

No wonder these two little cuties are so incompatible, even their abilities are counteracted.

Wen Zheng sat at the entrance of the cave and thought about a lot of random things. When he saw that the time was almost up, he left the cave and walked towards the pig pen.

He was going to kill the pigs today.

There were only two wild boars in total. Wen Zheng killed one last month. Now they had eaten them all. It wasn't long before they left the island. This last wild boar should also end up in their stomachs.
