Chapter 43 Finding Delicious
The moon is full and waning, and the autumn is getting stronger.
Large areas of mountains in the mountains began to dye a layer of red and yellow.
The green thorny weeds on the river beach are also slowly withering.
In Xu Chen's opinion, the development of the tribe has entered a relatively good stage of development.
Although I am still busy all day long for clothes and food.
However, the food reserved and hunting harvest this year are enough to ensure that the entire tribe can survive the winter safely.
As for clothes, as the fabric increases every day, coupled with the increasing number of animal skins, and the reserves in previous years, can basically ensure cold protection.
With basically no worries about food and clothing, the tribe has the extra energy to support Xu Chen's plan.
As late autumn approaches, the woods become more and more empty.
Although I have missed the best time to search for mountain goods, Xu Chen has been doing nothing recently and has taken Gu Heju around the mountains and forests all day long.
In this mountain forest, there are many fields and many heavy buildings. In addition, as the search scope is constantly expanding, he has discovered several medicinal materials such as Codonopsis, wolfberry, Gastrodia elata, and Platycodon. He also found many edible wild fruits such as yam, wild dates, hawthorn, and prickly 5.
In addition, under the guidance of Gu Heju, he also met many plants and animals, including aphrodisiac fruits that both men and women love, and some wild fruit rhizomes that can be collected as food, etc.
For the medicinal materials and wild fruits I know, they will dig some of them when they meet Xu Chen. Some of them can be dried and stored as snacks or soaked in water as tea. The medicinal materials can be dried and set aside, especially those once expensive medicinal materials such as Tianqi, Gastrodia elata, and Codonopsis.
However, many precious Chinese medicines that were hard to find in the past were now similar to ordinary weeds in the wilderness, especially Tian Qi. The many things made him almost too lazy to do. After all, this thing is medicine, and it cannot be eaten if it is dug back. Several trees in the cave were dried just as thick as an arm.
Therefore, what Xu Chen is interested in at the moment is not medicinal materials, but some more delicious things, such as monkey erectus or bird eggs.
A few days ago, the three of them took a few bird eggs, and Xu Chen took them back and made a steamed egg.
When I saw a few bird eggs stir into a bowl of soup, put them in a pottery pot and steam them in water for a meal, it turned into a bowl of solidified golden food.
Xu Chen's magic was once again raised, and this magical food also conquered all the savages.
Especially a group of women.
There is a baby in the tribe who has just learned to eat, about seven or eight months old, holding her all day long.
The mother has little milk, so the baby is thin and malnourished, and she has no strength to cry.
Although pregnant women and breastfeeding women will be significantly richer in food distribution, the mortality rate of human pups is extremely high under this severely unbalanced living standard of nutritional combination.
Lack of milk is the first to be affected. Then learn to be malnourished after eating, and then to be able to run away with various injuries and dangers.
And this only baby in the clan who is still in his infancy is facing a state of lack of milk and food.
Fortunately, Xu Chen started cooking pottery and stewed, which gave the child a food that was easy to swallow. Recently, it has become slightly stronger.
The emergence of steamed eggs gives babies a better nutritional meal.
The child loves to eat very much, and he finishes a big bowl at one time, and even doesn't want to suck milk after eating it.
Because with his weak power, he couldn't suck it out at all.
However, wild birds do not lay eggs very much in autumn and winter, and their nests are generally on large trees or in complex environments, so they are not easy to find.
Therefore, Xu Chen’s biggest wish is to find some delicious nuts or monkey erectus mushrooms.
The few monkey erectus mushrooms found by the tribe members were all near the top of the mountain.
Gu Heju also said that there are many birds on the top of the mountain, so it should be easier to find bird eggs.
So after two consecutive days without much gain, Xu Chen decided to go up to the top of the mountain to take a look.
If the mountainside is the land of human beings.
Then the monkey's territory is upstream of the mountain.
While climbing up the mountain, Xu Chen and the other two heard monkeys roaring and roaring all the time. They finally climbed to the top of the mountain. They just saw a few bird nests on the top of the tree to climb up and dig them, but they attracted a group of monkeys. They didn't get the bird eggs, but they were chased by a group of monkeys and smashed them with wild fruits. They had to run back with their heads in their arms.
A few days ago, I heard that some tribe members shot a monkey arrow while picking monkey head mushrooms, which led to the two tribes forming hatred. In recent days, whenever the monkeys see people, they will be particularly jealous, chase them and throw wild fruits or even stones, and even shamelessly urinate down and throw stools.
Faced with such a brother tribe who is not virtuous, the three of them can only admit that they are unlucky and run as far as they can.
A few monkeys are there, you can wait, I will definitely come back to take revenge.
Xu Chen cursed and ran all the way to the mountainside, as if he had entered the human territory. The monkey group proudly threw a stone wild fruit at Xu Chen and the other two again, and then roared away.
The three of them finally stopped to rest out of breath.
Since it is not possible on the mountain, I have to go down the mountain.
However, he had almost transferred the mountains and forests near the mountainside recently, so the three of them decided to go to the canyon next to them to take a look. Maybe they could find bird eggs or have other gains.
After more than an hour, the three of them finally arrived at the entrance of the canyon.
As autumn begins, the streams in the canyon are significantly smaller.
The gurgling stream flows among stones of all sizes. The stream water is clear and there are some transparent shrimps and fish shells inside.
The huge plant that looks like a dripping water of Guanyin is still lush and the whole valley looks green.
The steep cliffs on both sides do not look bare, but are covered with ancient vines and various strange plants. Many plants are even blooming, which is completely different from the mountain.
This is definitely a Feng Shui treasure land, but unfortunately it is too narrow.
The three of them walked slowly along the clear stream.
Looking at the scenery of the tropical rainforest in front of me, Xu Chen was very surprised and regretful.
It was Gu Heju's first time entering the valley, and he was also stunned by the scenery here.
Although they lived on the hillside not far away and were close to this canyon, it used to be a habitat for a nest of wild wolves, and they were warned not to come into the valley since they were young.
Therefore, at most they followed a group of hunters to the vicinity of the valley entrance.
In fact, the more you go in, the fewer the large dripping Guanyin of water, and the terrain gradually becomes flatter. Finally, a 70-8-acre Hulu Valley appeared. A small waterfall fell down the cliff, and a half-acre pool was washed out at the bottom of the cliff.
“Wow!”
Gu Heju was completely stunned by the scenery in front of him.
Xu Chen was the same. After staying for a long time, he looked up at the top of his head. A huge tree can be seen vaguely on the steep cliff.
"Plop~"
A fist-sized purple-red fruit rolled down the cliff and fell just by the pool.
The three of them stayed in the pool, and then watched a wild fruit slowly float to the surface, rippling gently with the waves washed by the waterfall.
"valley!"
He threw his bow and arrow basket with surprise on his face and jumped into the pool. He quickly fished the fruit up, and couldn't wait to take a bite and then screamed with excitement on his face.
Gu Ye went up to take a bite, and shouted in surprise on his face, and then the two of them gave it to Xu Chen like offering treasures.
Looking at the bitten wild fruit, Xu Chen thrust a few times and took it over. He turned around and found a place that he had never bitten before and ate it, and then he was stunned.
It's so delicious, soft and juicy, and it has a faint smell of wine.
If milk fruit is the most delicious nut he has ever eaten after traveling through time.
Then this fruit completely subverts his understanding of the taste of wild fruits.
In fact, although there are many wild fruits on the mountain, most of them are very difficult to eat.
What impressed him was the green fruit that Ye gave her on the first night of time travel.
He has also seen this kind of fruit, which looks like the green fruit after it matures.
However, this fruit grows on a crooked tree halfway up the mountain, and is a fruit on an ancient vine.
The crooked tree is almost hanging outside the cliff, with fruitful fruits on it, but it can only be seen but cannot be eaten.
But I didn't expect that after maturity, I would roll down the hillside and fall into the canyon pool.
And the taste is so wonderful, without saying that it has a green taste, the wonderful taste is simply irresistible.
So Xu Chen didn't care about the saliva of his two companions, and ate it clean after a few sensations. Then, in the expression of Gu Heju and his two saliva, he looked up at the big tree on the mountainside.
If you guess correctly, that big tree is a crooked tree.
There should be the milk fruit on the cliff.
And this waterfall may be formed by the convergence of spring water at the entrance of the cave.
"Look for it again!"
After a while, Xu Chen withdrew his eyes and the three of them began to search near the pool. After searching, they found that there were indeed many, but most of them were rotten. Occasionally, one was still quite complete, but it was too long to eat because it was soaked in water for too long.
So the three of them looked up at the big tree on the mountainside drooling together, hoping to fall down another five, six, seven or eight more meals.
Unfortunately, I waited for a few minutes and my neck was sore and I didn’t see a second one falling.
"Aowu~~"
Suddenly a low roar came from behind.
After a brief quiet, the three of them turned around almost at the same time, and their hair stood up and looked forward.
