Although the name is very strange, the Great Witch of Lingjiatan did not dwell too much on this issue. There are too many strange names in the world with confusing meanings.
He is now concerned about how many of his baskets of wild vegetables are new varieties that can be planted.
"Oh kangkong...."
Yuzai quickly found the first edible thing among a pile of weeds. The so-called water spinach was water spinach.
Then there is the cabbage that is also found in the south, which is the flat radish. Logically speaking, the taste of this thing is not as delicious as wild radish. After all, everyone is in a wild state at this time. Domestication takes time. If you multiply it for decades, the taste can be improved quickly. .
Then there is the gray cabbage that looks like a forked weed, and its ancient name is "quinoa".
In fact, this thing is just a weed, but it is edible. This thing is the least picky about land. As long as it is not sandy or saline-alkali land, it can be grown on any land, including tidal flats. Moreover, it is naturally resistant to diseases and insect pests. , but don’t force the taste.
Yu Zai continued to search, and found that in addition to these three things, there were also bitter herbs, which were called "tea" in ancient times. They are the tea of the gods, not green tea, and shepherd's purse. Needless to mention this, many places like to take shepherd's purse wraps. steamed stuffed bun.
There were not many weeds left, but medicinal plants such as Jingjie and Luokui were still found. Generally speaking, they went to dig, and these baskets of herbs were picked casually on the road. The great witch came back after thinking about it. Afterwards, we will organize a herb tasting event...
Unexpectedly, after meeting Yu Zai and the others, this life-threatening event would no longer need to be held.
Yuzai continued digging and found a squashed hibiscus plant, and then put it aside.
Hibiscus flowers are also edible, but it’s winter now and they won’t bloom until July or August. It’s recommended that you add an egg and fry them before eating.
"Oh, this, this is mustard greens!"
Yu Zai found a good plant and took it out. However, in the eyes of the public, the shapes of these "weeds" were almost the same. What was so special about this thing called mustard?
"I remembered something."
Chisongzi suddenly said to Yu Zai, he remembered one thing, that is, this thing called mustard was originally grown in the southwest, and then when the two masters of the Xuanshe clan came to Shiqianyuan for observation, they brought it to Yinglong. For travel expenses, he was given meatballs made of mustard greens.
That thing is called the honey-juice magical little pill exclusively produced by Black Water Black Snake... It is said that after taking it, you will feel pain in heaven and earth.
Yuzai couldn't help it anymore:
"The pain of heaven and earth is just the spiciness. Don't there be seeds of dogwood? Mustard greens are grown not for you to use as a source of spiciness!"
"Don't tell me if you have mustard greens. We'll go to the southwest to get some later. This stuff is also good for extracting oil."
After the mustard seeds are ground into mustard, although they have a spicy taste, this is not the point, but the oil extracted from it. The plant that Yu Zai is holding is called oil mustard, which is the mustard produced by the Black Snake tribe in the southwest. Is it the same species as it?
Oil mustard is relatively easy to recognize because it is relatively tall.
By the way, mustard is also a type of mustard.
Yuzai expressed on the spot that he would create a poverty-stricken restaurant.
Wen Ming unloaded the iron pot, and everyone in the south began to work.
High-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods. Chef Yu, who had been busy for an hour, served everyone a hodgepodge of wild vegetables.
As for Wen Ming, who was responsible for starting the fire, his face was as black as the bottom of the pot.
Fortunately, the result did not disappoint everyone. Even if the wild vegetables are roasted, brushed with some lard, and added with some southern specialty soy sauce, the taste is already extremely delicious....
Everyone in Lingjiatan looked at the lush green area in front of them, and their mouths drooled unconsciously.
"Come here, don't be polite, have a taste, these are all natural and pollution-free delicacies!"
The great wizard took a bite of water spinach first, and he began to tremble as expected.
The silent cooking of rice is the best affirmation for everyone in Yuzai. In fact, there is not much of these things. The sun sets, and although everyone in Lingjiatan is still not full this time, they are extremely satisfied.
"It turns out that everything grows between heaven and earth. If you look around, there is food everywhere!"
There are countless wild vegetables in the mountains. Thanks to the climate at this time and the extremely fertile land on both sides of the Huai River, these wild vegetables thrive in the changes of nature even if no one takes care of them. And all the wild vegetables we eat today , also planted a seed in the heart of the great wizard!
Xiu and Hongchao also took the opportunity to indulge their appetite. There were not many wild vegetables, so what everyone got was just a handful, but it was enough to let people eat the marrow and appreciate the taste.
"If you dip this thing in dolphin fat and then some soy sauce, it will taste as good as raw straw sandals!"
Hongchao only took one bite and sighed.
God is merciful to all people and sends down hundreds of grains. If we remove some roots and weeds from the mountains and fields, what can we not eat?
Yu Zai was very pleased with this: "You're welcome, if you have anything nice to say, just say it."
"Excuse me, what did you add?"
"It's an iron pan...it's soy sauce. I added soy sauce."
Yu Zai promoted southern soy sauce to the great wizards and told them that they could brew this kind of thing by planting soybeans. If necessary, they were still welcome to come to the south to study.
The great wizard was filled with gratitude to Yu Zai. The significance of this meal was not only to satisfy the appetite, but also to give the confused Lingjiatan people a new and ambitious goal!
Restore glory, tame big pigs, plant wild vegetables, smelt iron pots, and when you are strong, send people to the south to study. One day, you can eat today's wild vegetable rice every meal.
Over at Huozheng, some people were already asking Wen Ming how to forge the iron pot. Now they didn't even have a few copper cauldrons, but they were deceived by Wen Ming and started to believe in the Iron Pot God Cult.
Chapter 1 of the Iron Pot Gospel, I hope that when you are not full, you will eat enough before doing other things...
After a while, many people gathered there. Everyone devoutly believed that sooner or later, everyone would be able to use an iron pot.
This is a good thing. It can fill your stomach and is not as difficult to hold as a copper cauldron. Even on the battlefield, it can also be used as a shield.
At night, I took them to the earthen house where they lived. They had lived in the earthen house these days. This was the best temporary house built by the Lingjiatan people after they moved here. It was the residence of the bearded leader, and also He vacated it.
"Big boss, I have a question."
Ehuang stopped Yuzai and asked puzzledly: "We are strangers to them. At the beginning, they robbed us. What they did was far different from the Zhushan clan. Why did the leader keep helping us?" Them, teach them?”
"And I always feel that the big leader's attitude is as if he has known them a long time ago? Even if they claim to be descendants of the ancient emperor Wei Wei, there is no need to teach them so wholeheartedly..."
Yu Zai: "What do you think of their character?"
Ehuang: "From what we heard from Patriarch Miwei before, we can tell that it is not bad, and we have all seen their busyness and life these days, but the big leader has no intention of killing them before he sees their nature. "
Yu Zai couldn't help laughing: "There is no fighting or killing in this world. Remember, civilization, harmony, freedom, equality and justice..."
Wen Ming: "What did Brother Zai ask me to do?"
Ruan Zai let Wen Ming play on the side, but obviously the conversation between the two also attracted everyone.
In the afterglow of the bonfire, Yuzai touched Gugu's head to make it glow, and took a deep breath...
Someone farted.
