Kahn enthusiastically found a suitable spot for her to dig a hole, not far from his home.
Xu Yin: "..."
I don’t really want to live in a hole in the ground.
But there is no way.
People here live in caves.
"Aren't you afraid of rainwater pouring in when it rains?"
"It hasn't rained so heavily. It can at most make the ground moist and soft." Kahn said, "Brother Hero, you are lucky. It just rained last night and the soil is still very soft. My brother and I have just arrived. When I was there, I stayed at Uncle Simon’s house for several days.”
"..."
The rain last night was caused by her summons.
After slandering her, Xu Yin spurned herself: See what you can do!
Following the Romans, Xu Yin, with Kahn's help, used a wooden shovel ground from a red tree trunk to dig a hole large enough for her to live alone.
From now on, please call her—Xu Yin, the little hole-digging expert!
It was almost dark after digging the hole, and Kahn showed her where they usually bathed - at the foot of Kenghuan Mountain not far from here.
There is a natural lake there, which may have been formed after a meteorite fell.
The water of the lake is blue and clear, but there are no aquatic plants in the lake and there are no green plants around the lake.
Xu Yin asked Kahn if there were any fish in the lake?
It doesn't look like there are any fish or shrimps.
Kahn shook his head: "That one has to be found in a saltwater lake far away, but it doesn't exist here."
saltwater lake? That's not the sea. What does the sea produce? Seafood!
Xu Yin suddenly became interested: "Didn't you go catch some and come back?"
"That fishy, smelly thing is so unpalatable."
"..."
Nothing tastes good in your mouth.
She couldn't help but wonder: Are the fruits on the mangrove trees really unpalatable?
As soon as they arrived, Xu Yin asked Kahn to lead the way to the mangrove at the bottom of the pit and picked two big red fruits.
The skin of the red fruit is very hard and only the base is soft. Use your thumb to pinch in and then break the fruit into two halves.
The pulp is soft and soft like elastic wadding. After taking a bite, it tastes like wax as described by Kahn, bland and tasteless.
It's just...Xu Yin stared at the soft pulp for a long time, wondering if it would taste better if it was roasted.
She remembered that there is a kind of breadfruit in the tropics. It has no taste when eaten raw, but after baking or frying, it has a fragrant aroma and is as tempting as the bread when it is freshly baked.
"Kahn, what do you use to make a fire?"
"It's a tinder box." Kahn took out a small thing that looked a bit like a lighter. "It's in the supply bag, but it's a pity that you didn't get it today. Alas, we have to wait for another ten days."
Xu Yin didn't answer and asked him to pick up some dry red branches and make a fire.
When Kahn lit the fire, she observed carefully: Oh, that's how it is used, there are many!
After the fire lit up, Xu Yin threw a red fruit into the fire to see what it would look like when roasted with the shell on.
Break open the red fruit, peel out the soft pulp, and roast it over the flame with a branch.
After a while, the fragrance came out.
Kahn sniffed: "It smells so good! What does it smell like? It smells better than my brother's roasted insect meat!"
Xu Yin handed him the roasted and crunchy pulp: "Try it."
Kahn was dubious, so he took it and took a bite.
Instantly, his eyes widened: "Wow! It's delicious! Is this red fruit flesh?"
Xu Yin nodded: "It seems that I have found the correct way to eat it."
"Brother Hero, you are so awesome! You are so awesome! How did you come up with the idea of roasting and eating it? We have been here for so long and we didn’t even know about it! No one here knows... You are so awesome! You are one of us The most powerful among them!"
Kahn has starry eyes and becomes Xu Yin's fanboy because of a piece of roasted red fruit.
Xu Yin: "..."
This fanboy is a bit cheap.
She herself took a few bites of the roasted, crispy red flesh.
It smells good, but actually tastes average, far worse than bread. It's not sweet after all.
But it is indeed much more delicious than eating it raw.
She picked a strong branch and used it as a poker to pull out the dark red fruits that had been roasted in the fire.
After it cools, crack it open and take a look.
Huh?
What about the pulp? Why is it all in powder?
"Is it too dry?" Kahn came over and asked, "It seems that the method you just used, Brother Hero, works better."
Xu Yin twisted some white powder to taste. Suddenly, her eyes lit up: Flour?
It tastes like flour when eaten like this.
"Quick, quick, quick! Kahn, go pick some more fruits and come back." She got up and ran towards the mangrove.
Kahn followed her without knowing why: "But this doesn't taste good."
"That's not how you eat it. I have another way. I'll pick them all and roast them first."
The two of them worked together and came back with four or five more red fruits.
When the skin is completely roasted and blackened, crack it open, take out the powdered pulp inside, and put it into a bucket-shaped container made of folded red fruit leaves.
"walk home!"
Xu Yin asked Kahn to completely extinguish the fire, and happily returned to the simple cave with today's results.
"Oops! I forgot to bring back the mangrove pulp." Kahn only remembered it when he got home and slapped his forehead.
"It's okay, I can do it tomorrow." Xu Yin's mind was not on the mangrove pulp at all.
She wanted to use these powders to see if she could make noodles.
The answer is yes! ! !
When Kahn ate the hand-pulled noodles cooked by Xu Yin, he was so happy that he almost shed tears.
"It's so delicious... Woohoo... Brother Hero, you are so awesome! Are you really not from the Emperor Star? I always thought that only people from the Emperor Star can afford food made from natural ingredients."
"..."
"By the way, Brother Hero, where did you hide these things and bring them in?" He pointed to the seasonings Xu Yin used to make noodles, "Didn't the executive officer who sent you to the channel entrance search you? Or was it your space? The button was not detected? My brother’s space button was confiscated.”
Kahn was halfway through eating when he thought of this question.
Xu Yin originally wanted to say that she brought it in hidden in the middle of her clothes. After all, she could endure it without ingredients. How could she endure it if there were ingredients but no seasoning?
Until he mentioned the space button, could it be said that this era has developed to the point where everyone has a portable space?
With this thought in mind, he asked.
Kahn was even more shocked than she was: "What? One person per person? Brother Hero, is the planet you live on so developed?"
"..."
The two people's brain circuits are never on the same line.
Until he pursed his lips and muttered: "My brother's space button is only owned by the rich man who robbed an emperor star when he was a star thief..."
Only then did Xu Yin understand.
In any case, with the space button as a reason, I will have an excuse to get something that is not a product of the Desolate Star in the future.
After eating and drinking, Kahn went back to his own home to sleep contentedly.
Xu Yin sat cross-legged in the empty cave, feeling speechless and desolate.
It seems that the house still needs to be built.
It's okay to live in a cave for a few nights, but living there every day is really unacceptable.
But first, we need to test whether the soil here is suitable for farming. If it is not suitable, there will be no use in building a house here.
