After identifying and confirming that it is taro.
Without any hesitation, Zhang Liu grabbed a taro rhizome that was three fingers thick with both hands, bent down and pulled it hard.
The whole action is just like pulling a carrot.
But the result was not as simple and straightforward as pulling out a radish.
The taro root in his hand was unexpectedly tough. While leaning back hard, Zhang Liu could easily feel that it was "squeaking", but it could not move at all.
However, after he stuck his butt out and exerted force repeatedly, the tough taro rhizome broke directly, and a sticky white liquid oozed out of the broken end.
After being speechless for a few seconds, Zhang Liu threw the taro rhizome aside, picked up a piece of wood and started digging the soil.
He didn't expect that this thing would be so difficult to pull out.
The soil near the river is relatively moist and soft, so it is extremely quick to clean up.
However, the taro is quite large under the soil, and there are many roots in the turned over soil that look like white worms.
When my hands were already a little sore from digging the soil.
Zhang Liu finally dug out the entire taro root from the soil.
It was still covered in mud and his entire appearance was unreadable, so he turned around and put it in the water and began to wash it carefully.
Zhang Liu was very excited at the moment. As long as he was sure he could eat it, this piece of taro would be a stable source of carbohydrates!
After some operations, he neatly stacked a large taro that was two times larger than his fist, three medium taro that was only one-third the size of his fist, and six small taro that were still growing on the roots to absorb nutrients and were only half the thickness of his index finger.
Not satisfied, Zhang Liu picked up the wooden stick and continued to work on the taro.
One is not enough!
At least a hundred!
After the first experience, he would no longer do the idiotic act of pulling it out forcefully. Instead, he would loosen the soil and then shake the rhizome to lift the entire taro along with the soil.
Then I carried it to the river, washed off the dirt, and found taro of different sizes among the dense white roots.
When the sun gradually floated to the center of the sky, Zhang Liu put seven big taro, thirty medium taro, and a bunch of small taro in his clothes and brought them to the side of the pond.
Although the goal of one hundred is still a long way off, it still makes her very satisfied.
At this moment, the bonfire showed signs of going out, and Zhang Liu pulled out some dry firewood to stabilize the fire.
Looking at the pile of taro placed next to the campfire, and feeling his itchy arms, he felt both pain and happiness at the same time.
However, for safety reasons, Zhang Liu did not dare to place the entire taro next to the fire to roast it.
Because some wilderness survival videos I've watched said that this thing seems to be poisonous if eaten raw.
Inadequate cooking can also be toxic.
It seems to be some kind of alkaloid.
Thinking of the last time he saw Qin Ruoyan running around naked with her skirt lifted up, he once again had a guess in his mind, even though the other party refused to admit it afterwards.
But to make such a move, I'm afraid Qin Ruoyan must have been rubbed on the butt by the taro leaves.
But didn’t I give the other person paper at that time? Why did I get rubbed by the taro leaves?
and……
Qin Ruoyan's is actually pretty nice too...
The dense hair grows in order, and you can tell it's very smooth just by a glance.
So compared with Gu Qingrou, I guess they each have their own advantages and disadvantages, right?
Shaking his head slightly in silence, Zhang Liu retracted his thoughts which had become confused due to the abundance of food.
He turned his attention back to the taro in front of him.
Section 1#Volume 2 A stable food source is the first step to development: Chapter 109 Is there anything wrong with letting a girl smell her washed stockings?
If the center of such a big taro is not baked.
Those unpleasant taro toxins might be transferred to the surrounding roasted taro flesh.
When you take a bite and encounter the raw part, you can't just hold your throat and spit it out.
So Zhang Liu planned to chop the taro into small pieces.
Then put it in a clay dish, add water and simmer repeatedly. If one time is not enough, try twice or three times.
Stew until it is soft and becomes taro soup.
As for the taste, a pickled rabbit leg is used as salt.
When it comes to eating, his execution is very good.
After more than ten minutes, a whole large taro had been chopped up by the fire hammer and soaked in a clay plate.
In order to reduce possible toxicity, Zhang Liu used all the methods he could think of.
Removing mucus by soaking is one of them.
At the same time, Zhang Liu took off his clothes, and then, wearing only a pair of underwear, he took out the stockings left by Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang from his backpack.
It's not about doing anything obscene.
Instead, he planned to use this pool to wash all his clothes and then take a bath at the end.
Based on the principle of ladies first, Zhang Liu gave priority to washing the two girls' stockings before his own underwear.
This is not the first time he has done the job of washing girls' stockings.
When at home, Zhang Liu would occasionally help his two younger sisters wash their underwear and bras.
There is no other way to protest against gender disparity at home.
Both sisters would take off their hot underwear directly in front of him without any hesitation and throw it into his hands.
And they said something strange like since they are not related by blood, they also trust their brother...
However, this was the first time that Zhang Liu washed stockings directly with water without adding detergent.
I don't know if it can be cleaned completely.
The water level in the pool is about one meter, and the distance from the water surface to the edge of the pool is about half a meter. If he just wants to fetch water, he just needs to bend down and stretch out his hand.
But washing clothes is not a job that takes only a few minutes like fetching water.
Therefore, for convenience, Zhang Liu lay directly next to the pool, soaked the stockings in the water one by one, then picked up one at random, put it into the water and rubbed it vigorously.
These days, Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang both cleaned the stockings on their legs.
However, due to the shortage of water, the most they can do is soak it in sea water and then simply rinse it with clean water.
This will result in the salt in some parts of the stockings not being cleaned, leaving slightly white stains.
Qin Ruoyan's white silk is better, but it will turn yellow due to these stains.
After soaking at this moment, rub and wash away the stains, and the silk will immediately return to its previous snow-white state.
But Qin Ruoshuang's black stockings are more difficult to deal with. If you look closely, the white stains on them will be very eye-catching.
If you want to clean it, you have to rub it off with your nails bit by bit, which is a waste of time.
However, what Zhang Liu has the most right now is time, and the stains on the stockings are just salt stains after all, which can be removed by washing them a few more times.
In addition to the white stains, the two pairs of stockings were also slightly stiff.
He thought that this was probably caused by the coagulation of sweat.
And the two sisters were always walking around in black leather boots.
When I pinched their little feet and played with them before, maybe it was because their toes stretched their stockings.
So Zhang Liu hasn't discovered it yet.
But after rubbing and washing it, he clearly found that the stockings were harder than the main body.
I guess it's the sweat from my feet that solidified directly on my shoes.
But to be honest, the material of these rich people's stockings is really good.
Even after wearing it for so many days, when I take it off and hold it in my hands, it is still soft and dense, and has not become hard at all.
And after coming into contact with water, it does not feel "sticky" like my sister's stockings, but becomes more lubricated.
So it should be silk, right?
But how come this silk doesn’t shrink?
Zhang Liu was full of curiosity when he held Qin Ruoshuang's black silk stocking in front of his eyes and looked at it.
But no matter how curious he was, he couldn't figure out what the stockings were made of.
Put the black silk in front of your nose and smell it carefully to make sure there is no odor, only the smell of water.
Zhang Liu also started to wash the other black stocking.
Next to it was a pair of white silk stockings that had been rinsed and were waiting for him to touch.
It's physical work.
After washing the two pairs of stockings, Zhang Liu built a simple drying table with branches next to the campfire and hung them on it to dry.
He changed the water used to soak the taro, and then he took off his underwear directly.
He walked into the pool carefully.
The bottom of the pool was very solid, just rock, and Zhang Liu was completely relieved.
He sat down right away.
Zhang Liu could not help but moan with pleasure as his whole body was soaked in the cool water.
Even at home, he had never enjoyed such a big bathtub!
Walk to the bottom of the waterfall and let the cool water wash over your head.
After rubbing the important parts, Zhang Liu grabbed his "high-slit curtain cheongsam" as a bath cloth and began to scrub his body.
After taking a shower, dry yourself and wash your clothes.
The underwear and clothes were hung next to the stockings to dry, and Zhang Liu also began to build a simple stove with stones next to the campfire naked.
Place a clay plate on top and put the fire and firewood underneath.
He started himself…lunch and dinner.
It was already late. After washing her stockings and taking a shower, the sun was already setting, and a fiery cloud was faintly visible in the western sky.
Zhang Liu did not waste the time stewing the taro, and easily completed his bed for the night.
That is to say, find some dry firewood and spread it horizontally on the ground.
Even though I slept next to the campfire last night, the ground was still slightly cold.
At the same time, while taking a bath, he also planned his schedule for tomorrow.
That is to go down the mountain along the way that went up and then reach the shelter.
After leaving the message there, he went around to the bamboo forest, then explored the way to the middle layer of the jungle, all the way to the bottom of the mountain.
This has two advantages.
The first benefit is that you can open up a new map and find out what is going on inside the jungle.
The second benefit is naturally that you might be able to meet Xiang Lingying and her powerful maid helper.
The reason why this plan is almost risky.
Zhang Liu’s confidence comes from that huge pile of taro.
He planned to go to the river above the waterfall to dig taro again tomorrow morning, the more the better.
After going down the mountain, leave all the large taro in the shelter and take away the small and medium-sized taro that are easier to roast and cook.
Section 1#Volume 2 A stable food source is the first step to development: Chapter 110 Qin Ruoshuang’s strange dream
Zhang Liu cut two medium-sized taro into four pieces and roasted them directly in different places on the fire.
