After being stranded on a deserted island, they all plotted against me

Taro is a tuberous plant.

So it should like to grow in a humid environment, and at least have certain characteristics of aquatic plants.

Otherwise, they would not grow in large numbers on both sides of the river on the top of the mountain.

So his request to Anya and Su Yan was to bury the small taro along the side of the low-lying areas, with a distance of one meter between each pit, but absolutely not bury it inside the low-lying areas.

Amid the sounds of the girls' unison exercises, the evening of the forty-ninth day had arrived.

This kind of training is actually very boring and very physically demanding.

Therefore, before dusk, the girls had stopped practicing and sat inside the wooden walls to drink water and rest.

While listening to the "bang bang" sound of Zhang Liu chopping bamboo outside, I took off my shoes and socks to get rid of the smell in advance.

As for Su Yan and Anya who went to farm, they have also returned. After hesitating for a long time, they used the water in a bamboo tube to wash their muddy hands.

The other girls also took the opportunity to wipe their little feet with the curtain cloth dipped in water.

Cut the sixteenth bamboo and break it open.

Looking at the thirty-two bamboo troughs that he had randomly piled on the ground, Zhang Liu nodded with satisfaction.

Then he walked to the wooden wall and said to the girls, "You guys boil water and make taro paste first. I'll get some palm cores. Let's have porridge tonight and celebrate Laba Festival!"

Looking at the surprised expressions on the girls' faces, Zhang Liu suddenly smiled.

At the same time, he smiled and explained to Qin Ruoyan who looked stunned, "Then mashed taro will serve as rice, and palm core and fruits will serve as the rest of the Laba porridge. That's about it. After all, our conditions are tough."

After hearing Zhang Liu's special explanation to her, Qin Ruoyan was so happy that she couldn't control her ladylike demeanor.

She laughed out loud, and then Qin Ruoyan quickly covered her laughing mouth with her hand and said, "It's up to you, you're smart!"

The coquettish feeling in her tone made the other girls stunned...

According to ancient legends, Laba porridge was made by a young couple who were lazy and had little food at the end of the year, so they simply gathered up all the leftover food in their house and stewed a pot of it.

In fact, after listening to the story told by his parents, Zhang Liu was puzzled for a while. Since they had eaten porridge on Laba Festival, what should they eat on Laba Festival?

He showed a spirit of "getting to the bottom of things", but as his father picked up the broom, Zhang Liu's indomitable spirit disappeared instantly...

After both of my parents passed away and I experienced the "feeling of starvation".

He also fully understood that a family would not become poor all of a sudden, but would slowly use up their last penny before becoming completely poor and unable to even afford food.

So if a family can find Laba porridge just by sweeping the floor, they probably don’t have to worry about what to eat the next day…

Chapter 330: The Importance of Protecting Tender Parts (Monthly Ticket Rewards for Additional Chapter 31)

Of course, Zhang Liu and the girls who were cheering and preparing the taro paste inside the wooden wall were not lazy people. They had enough food, so they did not have to worry about what to eat the next day.

To be honest, if I didn’t have two younger sisters to take care of.

He really likes this kind of life where he can eat and stay for free...

Putting aside the homesickness in his mind, Zhang Liu walked towards the woods nearby with a machete in hand.

There are many small palm trees here, which are perfect for cutting down and taking cores.

Through modern technology, palm cores are packaged as healthy food and are madly collecting intellectual tax.

They specifically kill the rich and the petty bourgeoisie who pretend to be rich.

But for Zhang Liu and others who are trying to survive in the wilderness, this kind of food is really a tasteless thing that would be a pity to throw away.

Compared to taro, which can be eaten after being dug out, washed, thrown into the fire and roasted.

The palm core, which requires first selecting a relatively tender palm tree and cutting it down, and then scraping off the outer bark layer by layer to obtain, is a food with a horribly low cost-effectiveness.

It takes time and it doesn't fill you up...

However, today, in order to enrich the ingredients of the "desert island version of Laba porridge", Zhang Liu had no choice but to take action.

Find a shorter palm tree, chop it down with a knife, and dig out the inner core.

After completing this operation, Zhang Liu wrapped eight palm cores in palm leaves and walked to the shelter on the south hillside.

The sky has completely darkened.

The earthen stove next to the campfire was burning again, with a small clay pot on it.

The taro paste scraped from a whole large taro is already being stewed inside.

After seeing the palm core, Xiang Wanying and Xiang Lingying's expressions looked a little unnatural.

They just picked up a sharp flint from the seaside, and then scratched the palm cores from the western mountains to make a living...

I didn't expect to have it again today.

However, looking at the taro paste being stewed in the small clay pot and the other Laba porridge ingredients that they and others were preparing, the two of them were not unacceptable.

The palm core can be chopped into small pieces and used as a substitute for lotus seeds.

The sweet taste of the egg yolk fruit cut into large pieces is the "yellow flesh red dates"

After removing the core of tamarind and kneading it into a ball, it becomes "strange-tasting peanuts"

However, these things cannot be added directly.

Because after the fruit is stewed, it will have a strange taste...

The same is true even for fruits such as lucuma, which are mainly sweet.

The girls sat in a circle, watching Zhang Liu processing the palm core on the palm leaves, their eyes filled with emotion.

Especially Qin Ruoyan, she no longer had the dissatisfaction that "Zhang Liu only praised Anya and not herself".

The taro soup on the earthen stove had been taken off the stove and placed aside to cool.

After it cools down, it is divided into nine portions and placed in bamboo bowls.

The bottom of the bamboo bowl is filled with palm core and fruit pieces.

"Rather than calling this Laba porridge, it's better to say it's fruit salad..." After Anya tasted it, she made this comment directly.

The other girls also nodded and highly agreed with this evaluation.

"Ahem... don't worry about these details, just treat it as Laba porridge." Zhang Liu smiled awkwardly, then scratched his head and explained his actions rather stubbornly: "After all, there are already some grains of food that can be chewed..."

But his stubborn look also made the girls laugh.

The atmosphere of the entire dinner was very good, but it was probably because we were going hunting tomorrow.

So after eating, every girl's face became slightly nervous and serious.

Everyone also understood that after waking up and having breakfast tomorrow morning, it would be time to go fight the wild boar.

After the day had passed, the sheepskin bag and the fresh water in the five plastic bottles were still there.

But the fresh water in the twelve bamboo tubes had been used up.

"Everyone, go to bed early. We'll set off early tomorrow." Zhang Liu looked at the eight girls who were staring at him in silence, and said, "Then let's get ready to eat the wild boar."

"Yeah!" All the girls nodded vigorously, then lay down and closed their eyes.

Xiang Wanying silently watched the tension hidden between Zhang Liu's brows, but a sense of pity and heartache quietly welled up in her heart.

The other person is obviously a younger brother who is five years younger than me...

It was midnight and the other girls were fast asleep, but Zhang Liu was awakened by a horrible nightmare in which he went hunting a wild boar unarmed, but failed and was bitten viciously by the wild boar.

Looking around at the girls who were still sleeping peacefully and the bamboo spears neatly placed around the shelter, he breathed a sigh of relief...

Sitting up and looking at the fire in front of him which was gradually dying down, Zhang Liu put a few pieces of firewood into it and then prepared to lie down and go back to sleep.

As a result, he suddenly heard a rustling sound in his ears.

Turning his head, Zhang Liu found that Xiang Wanying, who was lying next to him, had also stood up slightly and was looking at him with a gentle smile.

"Sister Wanying..." He opened his mouth slightly and was about to speak, but he saw Xiang Wanying raising her index finger in front of her lips, making a "hush" gesture.

Zhang Liu stopped talking immediately and just sat there quietly watching the other party's next move.

When the girls came out, they all carried a notebook with them.

The purpose is naturally to tear off a page every day to "protect the flowers and handle personal hygiene."

At this moment, Xiang Wanying was taking out a notebook from her maid skirt, and then making a gesture to Zhang Liu that said "I want to use a pen".

Zhang Liu also understood the other party's thoughts, so he took out a pen from the outer pocket of his backpack and handed it to the other party.

"You seem nervous?"

After quickly writing a few lines, Xiang Wanying handed the notebook to the boy next to her.

After that, he drew a playful smiley face next to this sentence.

"no!"

Zhang Liu also responded decisively, but as a boy, he would naturally be tough at this time, and even drew a gritting teeth expression next to it.

After looking at the contents of the notebook, Xiang Wanying pursed her lips and revealed a mischievous smile, and then she continued to write...

The two of them began a silent chat. Although the speed was slow, with the involvement of emoticons, it was even more interesting than speaking.

Amid the sound of the pen brushing, Zhang Liu's originally extremely tense emotions were slowly relaxed.

"Thank you Sister Wanying for your guidance." He quickly wrote this sentence on the notebook and then handed the notebook to the sister next to him, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at Xiang Wanying, who had just checked the message and was smiling so much that her eyes turned into slits, with an expression of "guess whether I believe it or not" on her face, Zhang Liu also showed a helpless smile on his face in response.

She is indeed a professional maid...

Even my pretending to be calm was seen through...

As the initiator of the hunting plan.

He was under great mental pressure, fearing that some loopholes would appear during tomorrow's hunting session, but Zhang Liu had never shown this anxiety to anyone.

Chapter 331: Relaxing Massage by the Maid Head (Monthly Ticket Plus Chapter 32)

《No need, you have protected everyone well! 》

Xiang Wanying wrote this sentence at the bottom of the paper, then tore off the full page and handed it to Zhang Liu.

"Thorn..."

The sound of paper tearing was a little harsh in the silent night sky.

But the sound was not loud, so no one was woken up.

Zhang Liu looked at the paper handed to him by Xiang Wanying with a puzzled look.

He didn't understand why the other party did this.

Xiang Wanying nodded towards the fire to signal Zhang Liu, although he was still unclear about the situation.

But he was very obedient and put the paper into the fire and burned it.

"Hmm!" As the paper twisted and turned into ashes in the fire, Xiang Wanying's smile became even happier.

Of course, what's on the paper is no big deal.

But the act of the two of them secretly communicating with each other using pen and paper, and then the other party burning the paper, gave her a happy feeling of "protecting a little secret with her sweetheart."

This is a happiness that only belongs to girls.

She leaned forward and stretched out her hand to tidy up the slightly too long hair of the boy next to her. Looking at Zhang Liu's handsome face, Xiang Wanying felt a little excited.

She wanted to kiss him straight away...

She slightly extended her tongue to moisten her lips, feeling extremely conflicted.

Zhang Liu also felt that the hand stayed on his head for too long.

He turned his head subconsciously, and happened to meet Xiang Wanying's clear eyes.

When they looked into each other's eyes, only each other and themselves understood the feeling.

Emotions are something people have from birth.

Moreover, the easiest way for people to interact emotionally is through their eyes.

At this moment, Zhang Liu interacted with the girl in front of him who was five years older than him, and he accurately read the feeling of "desire" from the other's eyes.
