Surviving Endless Disasters

He used a clamp to place the shells on the stone pieces of the bamboo table. Wen Zheng sat on the bamboo stool and waved: "Tuantuan, come here.

" Tuantuan acted as if nothing happened just now and walked over with his head held high, completely unaware that the feathers on his head had betrayed him.

There was an itch in his legs. Wen Zheng lowered his head and hugged Tuantuan on his legs. He lowered his head and looked at the shell. The soup boiled inside was completely milky white and was still rolling, exuding an alluring aroma.

Wild taro was discovered when I went to the mountains to look for wild boars. The deeper you go into the mountains, the denser the trees become. All kinds of tall trees completely block the sun, and almost no light can shine in. The soil on the ground is relatively moist, and there are many shrubs and herbs. Plants are growing, and there are many mushrooms that we dare not eat.

The mire is a place where wild boars often live. Wen Zheng deliberately searched for water sources based on the water marks under the stones, so as to find the mire. On the road, he accidentally saw a wide green leaf, which was a certain plant of the Araceae family.

After digging the plant completely out of the ground, Wen Zheng saw that the plant's thick rhizome was not much different from the taro he usually eats.

Taro is a common food ingredient. Even though it is a vegetable and a food crop, it is rich in starch and is easy to digest. It can also be processed in various ways to make more delicious food. However, wild taro is different from what we usually eat.

Plants in the Araceae family are all very similar, with special leaves and thick rhizomes, but most are poisonous.

This is the case with the dripping Guanyin, an ornamental plant kept at home by many people. This kind of poison is relatively high, and even the water dripping from the leaves is poisonous. In mild cases, the throat will be numb and itchy, and in severe cases, death from poisoning will occur.

However, this does not mean that all wild taros cannot be eaten. Except for those that are extremely toxic, some less toxic wild taros can be eaten after being treated.

Grandpa Wen experienced that special famine era. He survived by eating taro and knew how to eat wild taro.

Wen Zheng heard his grandfather talk about his childhood. Roasting over an open fire can effectively remove the poison of wild taro. When the outside is completely burnt and blackened, you can take a bite of the unburnt taro meat inside. Wait patiently for a while. If If your body doesn't have any unpleasant reactions, you don't have to worry about toxins.

If you are not afraid of trouble, you can also slice these wild yams, steam them first and then dry them in the sun. Not only is it easy to preserve, but boiling or steaming them again before eating can also remove toxins.

From that day on, Wen Zheng had food that could provide starch and satiate his hunger, and his reproductive capacity was also very strong. There were large areas of wild taro growing in that place. Wen Zheng dug up a large basket and brought it back to the cave, spending a lot of money. Time to cook first and then dry and store.

This pot of coconut taro stew is made from Sun King’s taro. Add water to cover and cook. Then add coconut milk and coconut milk after mashed coconut meat. Add a little salt to enhance the flavor. This pot has a rich aroma. of soup.

Taro and coconut milk are an excellent combination. Not only can they be used to make drinks, but they can also be used to make soups, or even fried rice and desserts. They can all be used to make delicious food.

Unfortunately, Wen Zheng had too few ingredients, so he simply made stewed taro in coconut milk, and the stew time was too long.

The taro itself is very soft and glutinous. After being simmered for a long time, it is a bit similar to taro paste. When paired with the fragrant coconut milk, I feel extremely satisfied after drinking it, and the coldness is swept away.

—————— On the deserted island, the coconut trees on the beach were bent down by the wind, and the fallen branches and leaves and even gravel were blown and rolled. Countless animals were frightened to avoid the disaster that had just begun.

The strong wind stirred up huge waves, which hit the rocks hard.

Boom! I don’t know where the noise came from.

Chapter 37 The scene of the approaching typhoon was like the end of the world. Even in the cave far away from the beach, Wen Zheng could hear the sound of the waves.

Wen Zheng is not worried about the sea water coming over. This place is far away from the coastline and the terrain is very high. The only things that will affect him are strong winds and heavy rain.

The wood in the earthen stove was burning brightly, occasionally making a few soft noises, and the fire could illuminate most of the cave.

Wen Zheng tried to focus on the food and not worry about typhoons beyond human control.

Holding chopsticks in his hand, he kept stirring unconsciously, and the stewed taro in coconut milk turned into a paste of coconut milk and taro. Wen Zheng's eyes were empty, and he was planning in his mind the delicacies he would make with taro in the future.

After catching the wild boar, it would be nice to have steamed pork ribs with taro.

I don’t know if taro can be used to make vermicelli. Sweet potatoes can also be made. It would be great if I could have hot and sour noodles. Then I need to find chili peppers.

There are obviously so many kinds of plants in the mountains and forests, but it's a pity that Wen Zheng doesn't know them. Moreover, they are not immune to all poisons, and they cannot taste all the herbs like Shen Nong.

It would be great if I could have points. If nothing else, let’s redeem some seeds first.

However, Wen Zheng has no clue about the hidden mission so far. In the deserted island area he has traveled so far, he has not seen any traces of humans other than him, nor has he encountered any strange animals and plants, not even the oceans created by humans. No trash was seen.

The hidden missions in the previous world were all obtained by rescuing people, but I didn't see anyone else on this deserted island. I only saved a bird called Tuan Tuan.

The only thing he held out hope for was his original memory, which had yet to be restored.

"There is an old saying that goes well, let nature take its course!" Wen Zheng touched Tuan Tuan's feathers, "Tuan Tuan, you are a domesticated bird now, and I feed you well every day. If one day we are separated, "Can you hunt by yourself?" "I feel worried just thinking about it. Even if I choose to stay in this world after completing the mission, there is no guarantee that we will be able to survive alone when we are not separated."

""After the typhoon leaves, I will train you to hunt by yourself.

Wen Zheng lowered his head, "Did you hear that, Tuantuan?" " Tuantuan, who was happily pecking at taro, heard his name, raised his head in confusion, and called Wen Zheng innocently a few times.

“Forget it, we’ll talk about it in a few days, just eat well.

"Wen Zheng found that as long as he saw Tuantuan's appearance, he couldn't help but feel cruel.

Wen Zheng is not a particularly soft-hearted person, but Tuan Tuan is different. On a deserted island where no one can communicate with him, raising him from the time he was hatched to now, and accompanying him for almost a month, makes Tuan Tuan have a special feeling in Wen Zheng's heart. His status cannot be shaken even if he meets other humans on the island in the future.

After eating, Wen Zheng sat beside the fire pit in silence, his eyes dazzled by the dancing firelight.

Worried that his eyesight would be affected, Wen Zheng was not prepared to do any work. He occasionally teased Tuan Tuan, which of course would not consume much energy. He went to bed early without even eating dinner.

The floor where I slept was very thick, with all kinds of soft leaves at the bottom, and then the feathers of the king birds on the top, and bamboo mats were placed on top to prevent the feathers from dancing.

The airplane seat cushion was used by Wen Zheng as a pillow. The tanned pig skin was too small to be used as a sleeping bag or backpack. It became Wen Zheng's quilt. When the pig skins are accumulated in the future, he can make a sleeping bag.

There were a lot of sounds outside the cave, not only the sound of rain and wind, but also the sound of something rolling on the ground. Wen Zheng thought it would be difficult to fall asleep, but he didn't expect to fall asleep quickly.

I have been wandering around in the mountains and forests for the past few days, and my body is still a little tired.

The burning flames drove away the cold outside, and the inside and outside of the cave seemed like two different worlds! The noise outside the cave woke Wen Zheng from his sleep, his heart beating rapidly, and he looked outside warily. The people next to him were so scared that they shrank up in their sleep.

There was no sound for a while, and Wen Zheng finally came to his senses. Even though he couldn't see outside due to the bamboo curtain, he could guess that the bacon rack and drying rack had been blown away by the wind. It would be difficult to fall asleep again if he lay down.

Soon it was the second day of the typhoon. Wen Zheng, who was woken up at night, was not in a good mood. Hearing the sound of wind and rain outside, he didn't want to open the bamboo curtain. Wang Jian cooked a delicious meal to improve his mood.
