The snow on the island is white everywhere, and when your feet fall, you fall into the snow, and the snow has reached the position of the ankle.

“If you go for a few more days, it will be difficult to walk.” Liu Yimeng muttered, lifted her feet and put them down, leaving a series of footprints behind her.

It had been more than half an hour since Chu Feng and the three of them had left the camp, looking for a place with wild vegetables.

“Go this way, there were a lot of wild vegetables there before.” Chu Feng said softly, turned and walked towards the jungle next to him.

“It’s white everywhere, and it’s hard to see any green.” Yun Xin said softly, and was pulled by Chu Feng and walked forward.

“It’s snowing, can there still be wild vegetables and hay?” Liu Yimeng was a little worried.

She pouted slightly, her eyes scanned the hands held by Chu Feng and the young girl, pulled the feet wearing rabbit leather shoes out of the snow, and followed the two of them step by step.

“The snow has only been falling for more than a day, and there are still some wild vegetables, and I am afraid that there will be no more in a few days.” Chu Feng said softly, his eyes discerning the direction.

Snow days are when everything is withering, and many plants will freeze to death.

This is because the snow causes the temperature to be too low, the cell fluid of the plant freezes, and the volume will increase, causing the cells to rupture completely, causing cell death, and the plant naturally cannot survive.

Only when spring arrives, the snow has melted, the sun is shining, and the temperature slowly rises, and the hidden seeds or rhizomes re-sprout and come back to life.

“Then let’s find a little more today, otherwise I won’t be able to eat wild vegetables in a month, and I will go crazy.” Liu Yimeng said hurriedly.

“It should not be difficult to eat wild vegetables in winter.” Chu Feng muttered, thinking that if the cultivation room could be set up, wild vegetables might also be planted.

“Chu Feng, what do you say?” Yun Xin asked with a puzzled sideways head.

“Nothing, we’ve arrived.” Chu Feng said softly and stopped in front of a small open field.

“It looks like it’s all buried.” Liu Yimeng shrugged his face and said that trying to find wild vegetables meant shaving open the thick snow that covered it.

“You can only dig it up.” Yun Xin also sighed lightly, the gloves had not yet had time to be made, and the snow was a torture thing.

“Let’s get to work.” Chu Feng said helplessly.

He put down the bamboo basket he was carrying, took bamboo chips out of it, crouched down and began to plow the snow.

The maiden and Liu Yimeng also squatted, and the three of them squatted in a row, digging forward together, shaving the snow behind them, revealing the increasingly stiff soil underneath.

After a while, Chu Feng dug out a wild vegetable, the leaves had been frozen stiff, and the water inside was frozen, looking like it had been brutally rubbed and abused.

In this case, when the ice melts, the leaves will also become soft and rotten.

“I found one too.” Yun Xin threw off his small hand that was frozen red, pried open the stiff soil with bamboo chips, and dug out a wild vegetable that was also frozen.

“It’s a good start.” Chu Feng said softly, reaching out and rubbing the girl’s red hand.

“Cough…” Liu Yimeng coughed dryly twice, pouting at his own hand that was also red, and muttered in his heart: My hand is also cold, and I will not help me rub it.

“Well, let’s move on.” Chu Feng snorted and buried his head in the snow to continue to plan.

“…” The girl’s face turned blushing with shame, and she turned slightly sideways and continued to get busy.

Time passed bit by bit, and after more than two hours, all the snow in this open area was cleared, and the wild vegetables found were only filled with half a bamboo basket, and there was a lot of forage for rabbits and deer, and there was a large bundle.

“Let’s go, let’s go over there.” Chu Feng picked up the bamboo basket and said softly.

“Okay.” Yun Xin and Liu Yimeng responded in unison, carrying the bamboo basket and following along.

After the three of them walked for more than ten minutes, Chu Feng stopped again and looked sideways at several trees not far away.

“Chu Feng, what’s wrong?” Yun Xin asked curiously.

“Found something good.” Chu Feng smiled lightly and saw a familiar kind of tree.

He stepped toward the trees, which were only the thickness of their calves, but were about ten meters high, and the leaves on them had fallen away, leaving only bare trunks and branches.

“Chu Feng, is this what you said was good?” Liu Yimeng was stunned, isn’t this just an ordinary tree?

“Of course, this is the laurel tree, and its skin can be dried to make spices, that is, cinnamon.” The corners of Chu Feng’s mouth were raised, and he reached out and patted the trunk of the tree, it was not easy to find the laurel tree on the island.

“Huh? Is this how cinnamon comes about? Yun Xin was surprised and reached out to touch the laurel tree and looked at it.

“Well, some of the cinnamon bark is made of the bark of the laurel tree.” Chu Feng said softly.

There are several kinds of trees that can be made of cinnamon, laurel is only one of them, cinnamon bark, also known as cinnamon, official cinnamon or fragrant cinnamon, belongs to the Lauraceae family, is the common name of Tianzhu Gui, Yin Xiang, fine leaf cinnamon, cinnamon and other bark.

“Chu Feng, you know more than I do.” Yun Xin said softly, the other party obviously read fewer books than himself, but he seemed to know everything.

“I saw it on TV science and education programs.” Chu Feng smiled lightly.

He took a wood knife from the bamboo basket, cut a hole along the trunk of the laurel tree, then cut open the bark, pried it open with the wood knife, and slowly peeled off a complete piece of bark.

He looked down and sniffed the laurel bark in his hand, and said with satisfaction: “The quality is not bad.” ”

“I smell.” Liu Yimeng said curiously.

She took the bark handed over, looked down and sniffed, and a faint fragrance of cinnamon wafted into the nasal cavity, and she was surprised: “It is really the fragrance of cinnamon.” ”

“It’s best for stewing.” Yun Xin also smelled it, and her heart was already thinking about how to make food with cinnamon.

“Then peel back a little more, you can use it later.” Liu Yimeng took out a wood knife and prepared to help with great interest.

“Cinnamon is a seasoning after all, you can’t eat more, just eat it once in a while.” Chu Feng smiled lightly.

“Okay.” Liu Yimeng nodded.

The three of them were busy around a few laurel trees.

After more than half an hour, Chu Feng swept the bark inside the bamboo basket, which was enough for four people to use for a year.

He put away his chai knife and said softly, “Enough is enough, continue to look for wild vegetables, the time is not early.” ”

“Okay.” The two women put away their knives and came out for more than three hours, and it was time to go back to lunch in a little while.

Chu Feng walked in front, his eyes kept looking around, trying to see if he could find other spices.

“Huh?” His eyes lit up, and there was a row of footprints on the snow not far away.

“This seems to be the footprints of a pheasant.” Liu Yimeng was surprised.

She knew this kind of footprint, and she had seen it when she went camping with the archery club people before, and it was somewhat different from the footprints of domestic chickens.

“It seems that luck has come, and I can’t stop it.” Chu Feng smiled lightly, because of the snow, some animal traces became obvious.
