But perhaps it is because they themselves are the most powerful beings in this area.
Therefore, the wild boars did not show much vigilance towards these two strange creatures.
…………………………dividing line, what follows is the author’s words.
There are still 10,000 words updated today, but because I got off work late, I have only written one chapter so far.
The other four chapters will be completed and updated before twelve o'clock.
It is estimated that the progress is one chapter per hour.
I am truly sorry, dear readers.
The rubbish authors who have no manuscripts left can only kowtow and apologize silently.
Chapter 303: The girls returning from the jungle.
"Roasted pig's trotters..." Compared to Xiang Wanying, who was afraid of wild boars because she had seen them go crazy, Zhang Liu was not overly nervous. He couldn't help but whispered jokingly, "Sister Wanying, have you seen their legs? They look really delicious!"
"Be careful." Hearing Zhang Liu's words, Xiang Wanying whispered, "You have never had a direct conflict with them, so you don't know how fierce they are."
Hearing the serious tone of the girl in front of him, Zhang Liu put away his smile and nodded seriously to indicate that he had heard it.
After being domesticated for many years, pigs are no longer a deterrent to children growing up in cities.
Before the direct fight with the wild boar, Xiang Wanying saw the wild boar from a distance for the first time. Like Zhang Liu, she was surprised by the wild boar's sharp teeth and worried about being "scratched".
Xiang Lingying beside her was pointing at the other person and shouting something like "I want to eat it!"
But after that official conflict, the master and the servant finally understood how ferocious a mad wild boar was.
"Don't worry, Sister Wanying, I know what's going on." Zhang Liu bent down and began to scratch the dirt around the taro with a knife, then whispered, "Just now I was just joking to lighten the mood, but as of now, there are at least three wild boars on this mountain, plus more than twenty little wild boars."
"Have you seen it in other places?" After hearing Zhang Liu's words, Xiang Wanying turned her head and asked.
"Yes!" Zhang Liu said, sticking his butt out and pulling a taro out, "They were not the same group as these wild boars in the thorn bush yesterday morning, because the little wild boars following that wild boar had yellow hair, while those had gray hair."
"Okay, it seems I have to be careful next time. Come, let me help you." After ending the discussion about wild boars with Zhang Liu, Xiang Wanying bent down and began to help him dig taro.
At the same time, Qin Ruoyan, Qin Ruoshuang and Gu Qingrou, who were exploring in the mountains, were already in an extremely excited state.
"Classmate Qin Ruoyan, this should be a tree forest of egg yolk fruit trees, right?" Gu Qingrou stared blankly at the forest in front of her that had at least dozens of trees, and she murmured in a low voice.
In Gu Qingrou's opinion, this area of egg yolk fruit trees was almost the same as the area of snake skin fruit trees in the big reef area where she and the other party were!
"Well, this scale can already be considered a forest." Sniffing the rich fruity scent in the air, Qin Ruoyan nodded and said, "This is really a surprise..."
"Many of them are ripe!" Qin Ruoshuang walked to a tree and picked up the ripe egg yolk fruit on the ground. After a slight hesitation, she put it in her mouth and took a bite.
The pulp has become a situation where two tastes coexist.
The outer layer of the flesh is soft, sweet and fragrant, while the inside still has the slightly crunchy texture unique to egg yolk fruit.
The wonderful taste made her unable to help but slightly squint her eyes and start to enjoy it.
"Let's eat some first to fill our stomachs, and then take some more back!" Qin Ruoyan untied the curtains from her body and said, "Try to pick the ones that are fully ripe!"
"Okay!" Gu Qingrou and Qin Ruoshuang nodded at the same time. There was a layer of ripe egg yolk fruit pulp around their lips.
As the sun gradually rose higher, the two teams collecting food resources successfully met beside the pool.
Under the shelter, Anya, who had just finished wiping herself, was sleeping soundly on the hay mat, occasionally reaching out to grab her stomach, not noticing that there were people around her.
“So many taro?”
“So many egg yolk fruits?”
Just like Qin Ruoyan, Qin Ruoshuang, and Gu Qingrou were amazed at the huge amount of taro that Zhang Liu and Xiang Wanying brought back, Zhang Liu and Xiang Wanying were also stunned by the egg yolk fruit that covered a small area of the ground.
"Hmm? What do you mean by too much?" Hearing the voice, Anya sat up directly on the spot. After seeing the taro and egg yolk fruit on the ground, she immediately became happy: "Great, I can eat my fill today!"
"Anya, Su Yan and the others haven't come back yet?" Zhang Liu looked down at the girl who had jumped at his feet and picked up the egg yolk fruit to eat. He couldn't help but smiled and said, "Why do you look a little hungry?"
"I'm not hungry, I'm just bored to death waiting!" Anya swallowed the egg yolk pulp in her mouth hard, and then started complaining about the boring situation of guarding the campfire.
If she was in a cave, she would have endured it, after all, she had been there to watch over a house before.
But this is a mountainous area, and I don’t recognize any of the surrounding areas. But wherever I go, there are new mountains to discover!
For Anya, who is lively and active by nature, it was difficult for her to squat and watch the fire under such circumstances.
That would be too cruel!
It's as cruel as putting iron-spiked underwear on a Teddy with a fever or putting a collar on a tantrum.
"You should eat more." Zhang Liu looked at Anya's behavior of "wasting boredom for appetite", and he couldn't help but shook his head slightly, revealing a dumb smile.
However, after eating two bites, Anya also gave the movement trajectory of Su Yan and others.
"They are making hay over there. The hay mat I sleep on is the one they have already laid out." Anya pointed to the hay mat she was pressing down on, and then said, "Yan Yan is also planning to move the shelter to another location. This place will be used as a firewood storage point and a place to cook."
"Hmm?" Zhang Liu scratched his head after hearing Anya's suggestion, and then said, "It does seem good."
When they were building their home, the girls had used the simple shelter he had left behind as a building anchor.
So everything revolves around this rock surface.
But after careful consideration, this place is actually only suitable for a temporary overnight stay.
"Why don't we just stay over there?" Looking around, Zhang Liu pointed to an open area about a hundred meters away and said, "Get rid of the branches and trees over there. The dead trees are also very good support points..."
In the wasteland he pointed to, there happened to be two fallen trees that were about as thick as a human waist. The bark on them was dry and cracked, and it was obvious that they had been dead for quite some time.
Next to the big tree was a pile of rotten wood that was sprouting.
Overall, it is the kind of thing that makes people not want to touch it. After all, the rotten wood is full of water, smells terrible, and has all kinds of worms...
But if it is really handled properly, as long as the rotten wood is completely removed, the two fallen dead trees can serve as left and right support points.
They are about seven or eight meters apart, which is enough space for nine people to lie down.
The next step is to lay straw mats on the ground and build a sloping shelter facing the waterfall pool to isolate water vapor and reflect heat.
In terms of the quality of overnight stay alone, it should be improved a lot.
However, before Zhang Liu could finish his words, a figure emerged from the woods ahead.
Chapter 304: Delicious Bobo egg yolk jam and taro paste is about to come out!
The people who came out of the woods were none other than Su Yan, Lan Yueting, Xiang Lingying and others.
The three people who went out to look for resources each came back with large bunches of banana leaves, banana cores, and large bundles of banana leaves.
"So tired!"
Walking closer, Xiang Lingying put down the "banana leaf ball" that was more than half his height.
Zhang Liu then realized that there was a bunch of bananas wrapped inside.
"We found a banana forest, with at least thirty bananas..." Lan Yueting placed the tender white banana core in her hand on the banana leaf that Xiang Lingying had thrown on the ground, and then she said with emotion: "Hmm... I am so tired from chopping."
As she spoke, Lan Yueting reached out and tapped her waist.
Under Anya's almost murderous gaze, her extremely soft part swayed slightly several times like jelly.
"I thought that banana leaves could be used to make the walls of the shelter, so I collected all of them." Su Yan had a large bundle of banana leaves in her hand. After putting them down, she looked up at Zhang Liu and said, "Zhang Liu, I want to move the shelter to another location. I feel that it is not suitable to live next to the pool."
"That's what I was talking about." Zhang Liu smiled at Su Yan, then pointed to a forest of rotten woods not far away and said, "Let's clean this up this afternoon, and then we can build a shelter."
"Um, this way?"
Compared to Zhang Liu, who has rich experience in building a house, Su Yan looked at the pile of rotten wood with a confused look in her eyes.
She couldn't directly form the idea of building a home in her mind.
Su Yan thought for a long time but couldn't come up with anything, so she just followed Anya to show off the egg yolk fruit.
........................
"For lunch, why not have taro paste with egg yolk jam?"
It was already late, and standing next to Su Yan and Anya who were sitting and eating egg yolk fruit, Zhang Liu also spoke up and suggested the type of lunch he wanted to make.
After hearing what he said, all the girls looked confused.
Even Su Yan and Anya stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the boy beside them in a daze.
It’s not like they haven’t eaten taro paste before.
Adding some taro paste to the milk tea that you occasionally order will really make you addicted to the taste.
But now we are trapped in the wilderness...
Where can I make taro paste?
How to make taro paste?
Although there is taro in front of me.
But if you want to turn taro into taro paste, even in a civilized society, it needs to be steamed and then crushed.
If there is a lack of suitable machines during this period, it will be very troublesome.
What's more, we are now in the wilderness.
The only alloy pot that could be used to steam large quantities of taro was left in the cave by everyone.
The small clay pot is obviously not very suitable...
"Don't worry!" Zhang Liu smiled slightly. He picked up two small taro from the ground and said, "I'll take care of it. You guys go wash the egg yolk fruit and taro first!"
The eight girls looked at each other, and finally chose to believe it unanimously. They picked up the egg yolk fruit and taro and started to wash them around the sink.
Making egg yolk jam and taro paste was a cooking idea that came to Zhang Liu after he saw the egg yolk jam and taro on the ground.
However, it is indeed quite difficult to prepare a portion of taro paste in the wilderness.
Generally speaking, the preparation of taro paste cannot be separated from the two steps of "steaming" and "sieving".
This not only places requirements on the equipment, but also on the taro itself.
The taro from the top of the hill does not have the sticky texture of the Lipu taro, nor does it have the soft and moist taste of the southern taro.
It's probably a matter of species. There are hard tendons inside it.
Especially the larger the taro, the more obvious the hard and chewy texture inside.
Edible, but not tasty...
Under normal circumstances, the best way to deal with this is to cut the taro into small pieces, then roast it over the fire or steam it directly in a pot.
In this way, you just need to spit out the hard tendons when eating.
Of course, you can also eat small taro directly to eliminate this problem from the root, but it is more troublesome.
At present, Zhang Liu adopted the second method.
He planned to peel the small taro, then scrape it manually into a finer raw taro paste, and then slowly stew it in a small clay pot.
Since you are going to make taro paste, the taro skin must be peeled very cleanly, and even the purple or reddish-pink flesh under the skin must be removed, leaving only the white and tender central part for later use.
To be honest, the loss rate is really high when doing this. Less than two-fifths of a small taro will be left.
Zhang Liu, who was a bit of a miser, began to feel distressed after dealing with the two.
But when he thought of the large taro forest above his head, he gritted his teeth and continued processing.
Because there is a running water source, the work of washing the taro egg yolk fruit can be completed very quickly.
A moment later, eight girls had quietly gathered and sat down beside Zhang Liu, who was busy peeling taro.
Anya and Su Yan, two little girls, sat side by side, each holding an egg yolk fruit in their hands.
Because their mouths are relatively small, they make a tiny "ah-wu" sound when biting.
To be precise, Anya started it first, and then Su Yan followed.
With the boys they like occasionally looking away in silence, the two began this "cuteness competition"
As for the other girls, although they were also eating egg yolk fruit in their hands, if they made such a sound...
Even Xiang Wanying, the head maid who is the best at hiding her emotions, can't do it...
What a shame!
