Chapter 465 Houttuynia cordata(1/2)

The powerful and sturdy white-limbed bison left and waited for a moment. After waiting for it to be completely far away, Bi Fang quickly rushed forward and pressed the charcoal ash that was still smoking white onto the wound, regardless of the fact that his hands were hot.

Plant ash is the product of combustion. After high-temperature sterilization, there is no need to worry about infection. Instead, it is rinsed with clean water, which has certain risks.

Black charcoal ash fell on the red and swollen wound, and Bi Fang felt as if he had been soaked in cold water after running ten thousand meters, and the soreness disappeared.

The wound that was originally painful became bearable, and the feeling was close to that of an ordinary burn.

Being bitten by a large centipede usually causes severe pain for several hours, and the pain may slowly spread to the surrounding area, trunk or chest.

Fortunately, Bifang dealt with it in time, cut open the wound decisively, and squeezed out most of the venom that had not spread.

If it were another person, he would never be so decisive.

Rubbing the black charcoal on the wound, Bi Fang explained: "The toxicity of many poisonous insects is acidic, such as some ants, centipedes, spiders, and bees. Only a few are alkaline, such as wasps, which are weak bases.

It has properties, so plant ash is used in most cases, and it can at least relieve your pain."

"If you are not in the wild but at home, you can also use soapy water and alcohol to clean the wound, and then use some heat-clearing and detoxifying herbs to clean the wound."

[Wait a minute, centipede poison is acidic, wasp poison is weakly alkaline, I have a bold idea?]

[Is this how you fight fire with fire? Dog head.jpg]

[Kennedy made a sports car, and his imagination was really wide open! 】

"That won't work. Fighting fire with fire is just a fiction." Most of the pain disappeared, and Bi Fang was in the mood to joke, but the pain from the wound still made the corners of his eyes twitch.

"This is an unforeseen disaster. Not only did the lunch I received fly away, but it was also messed up for no reason." Bi Fang waved his hand after applying plant ash to the wound. There was some complaint in his tone, but he was not too disappointed.

The original snake meat has been completely eaten by the white-limbed bison, and nothing is left, not even the branches where the snake meat was inserted.

"The cooked duck flew away, so we can only replace it with something else." Bi Fang wrapped the centipede carcass in leaves and came to the fire.

At this time, the centipede corpse still did not stop twitching. All arthropods have similar characteristics.

"The nervous system of a centipede is similar to that of an earthworm. It is a chain-like nervous system, so it can continue to struggle when it is cut into two parts. I just pressed its head off, and you can see that there are many small centipedes on its abdomen."

Looking along Bifang's finger, Leonardo was startled by the dense white short worms. He was far away just now and the light was dim, so the audience thousands of miles away could not see clearly.

Although the big centipede was about to die at this moment, these newly born little centipedes did not realize anything and had not had time to escape. In other words, they were too young to escape.

"Without the snake meat, we can only eat it." Bi Fang sneered, picked up the charcoal on the side, rekindled the fire, and shook all the small centipedes into the leaves.

Although my left hand hurts, it won't be a problem if I endure it and do some work.

But when Bi Fang said he wanted to eat centipedes, Leonardo on the side stuttered and said, "Wait, wait, this, is this thing edible!?"

If Leonardo could understand snake meat, he couldn't accept eating centipedes.

Is this thing edible?

Too disgusting, right?

[Hahaha, we still have grilled centipedes at the night market here]

[There are so many bugs in the set meal, Xiao Li is afraid he will go crazy]

Bi Fang smiled and turned the centipede over with a branch: "Centipedes are great tonic and can be used as medicine. Centipede snacks are very famous in many countries. Didn't we go to the night market two days ago? Didn't we see it?"

After hearing what Bifang said, Leonardo also remembered it.

It seems that there is such a thing, but the night market obviously only exists at night. He didn't look carefully at that time, and thought it was some kind of slender meat skewers. Now that he thinks about it, it looks like a centipede?

Is there any misunderstanding in thinking of this as food? Is there nothing to eat?

"No, it's not that I have nothing to eat. I eat centipedes precisely because they are delicious, crisp and refreshing, and rich in protein. Chewing raw centipedes is still very dangerous, and the venom may enter the bloodstream in the upper gastrointestinal tract.

, and this is much larger than the amount of stinging you.

It’s best to fry it. If you bake it, it might have a mushy smell, but we don’t have the conditions to fry it.”

Taking advantage of the barbecue time, Bi Fang also took the branch to the place where the centipede had not bitten before, walked back and forth, and poked it with the branch in his hand from time to time.

"Centipedes have the habit of living in groups and are easily frightened. They like to live in dark and moist places. We can see if there are any of its kind and try to catch more. After all, one centipede is not enough for two people."

"Wait, there are not two people, only you." Leonardo shook his head quickly and kept emphasizing that he was not sensitive to such a disgusting guy.

"Why don't you give it a try?" Bifang straightened up and raised the branch. The centipede he had just dug out was pierced by him, and it was stuck on the branch and kept swinging.

Thinking of putting this guy into his stomach, Li Ang retched a lot.

"Hahaha." Bi Fang ignored it and took back the two centipedes he had just caught. If it were later, the centipedes might be burnt at the beginning.

The newly caught two are equally fat and look good.

But there are many viewers who cannot accept it just like Leonardo.

【Feels so disgusting】

[I have eaten it before, and it feels pretty good. It has no taste, just crunchy!]

[Anyway, I can’t accept it, it’s a bit uncomfortable to watch it]

[Come on, if you were to go to the rainforest and starve for two days, you would eat three bowls of cow dung, let alone centipedes.]

【Ah this...】

"In the tropical rainforest, if there is no food to eat, catching bugs is also a good way. We can even dig nests to trap them. In the habitat where centipedes often move, choose a damp mountain area around the beginning of spring and dig a long 'cross' shape

pit.

The pit is one to two meters long, about half a meter wide, and deeper than the length of a hand. Bird droppings and some decaying grass are built into it. It is covered with branches, soil clods or bricks and tiles to attract centipedes to crawl into the gap. Check it the next morning.

If a centipede enters the pit, you can catch it."

Bi Fang put the two newly caught centipedes into the fire pit, took out the freshly roasted centipedes, broke them into two pieces, and chewed one piece directly into his mouth.

There was a crisp chewing sound, and a faint bitter taste wafted out along with the unique aroma of barbecued arthropods.

Leonardo sniffed it gently and unexpectedly found that the smell was not bad.

"Have a taste." Bifang licked his lips and handed the remaining half to Leonardo.

"No."

Bi Fang insisted and said: "Try it."

"It's not like we're missing a piece of meat. Let's give it a try."

"No......"

Leonardo wanted to refuse again, but the centipede almost touched his face. After much hesitation, he still reached out and took it.

Looking at the half centipede curled up in his hand, it was almost half as long as his hand and very thick. He looked up at Bifang and found that the other person was holding a leaf and poured a lot of freshly roasted centipedes directly into his mouth. Inside, chewing wantonly.

"Well, the small centipede is more fragrant and has no salt, but it tastes sour, maybe because the venom is acidic. It tastes a bit like ants, with a pulpy texture."

[How did Lao Fang manage to eat so deliciously...]

[I saw Hong Qigong take out his knife and chop off the head and tail of the centipede. He squeezed it gently, and the shell fell off easily, revealing the flesh. It was white and transparent, like a prawn, and it was very beautiful. Yang Guo thought to himself: "This is the way to do it. , I’m afraid I don’t know if it can actually be eaten.”

[Hong Qigong boiled two more pots of snow water and washed the centipede meat so that no trace of venom remained. Then he took out seven or eight large and small iron boxes from his backpack. The boxes contained oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, etc. .He took up the oil pan, poured the centipede meat into it and fried it, and a scent of aroma immediately hit his nose.]

[Damn, I’ve seen this part too!]

[It’s delicious, but tasteless]

【Still unable to accept it.】

【What do ants smell like?】

[Anyway, it’s very sour. It’s sold online in a large jar. It’s said to be for health. I feel that ants taste more sour than fucking lemons. Don’t just trust Lao Fang’s taste.]

[Fang Shen said that delicious food does not necessarily taste good, but if he said it tastes bad, it must not be for human consumption.]

[Fang Shen is really, emmm, well-informed]

The audience in the live broadcast room comes from all over the world, and many of them have tasted centipede.

Leonardo hesitated again and again and stuffed half of the centipede into his mouth. As soon as he took it into his mouth, a faint bitter taste spread in his mouth.

It was a burnt shell. With a slight lick of your tongue, the crispy shell broke apart, revealing the softer meat inside, but it was still dry.

When the teeth are bitten open, what is exposed is a light sour taste, already protein, like burnt feathers.

As for the taste, it's definitely not too good, but it's not too disgusting either.

Actually, not bad?

Leonardo was a little surprised. Apart from the unacceptable appearance, everything else was completely different from what he thought.

"how do you feel?"

“It’s not bad, I’ve never had it before.”

"Hey, if you really get lost in the rain forest, centipedes are actually a good source of food. If you can't even find centipedes, then you can only eat earthworms, or something more disgusting."

At this time, the remaining two large centipedes were also roasted, but they were not as big as the first one. After eating them in two bites, there was a lot less meat.

After eating and cleaning up, Bi Fang took Leonardo on their way by the river.

"Because it's survival, not survival, I should have been looking for a good place to start setting up camp. A few hundred meters away from the river is a good choice, but because I was just bitten by a centipede, I have to look for it now. Some herbs can be used externally.”

"If you are bitten by a centipede, you can use Houttuynia cordata or dandelion mashed and applied externally. These two Chinese herbal medicines can clear away heat and detoxify. They are usually found in places where weeds grow."
