Another World Drift

Chapter 11

Because there is too little salt in stock and it is a necessity in life, Yuan Xu will always cook salt when he has nothing else to do, but usually he has to worry about his three meals a day, and he even has to store some food.

After eating cold shepherd's purse last time, Yuanxu went up the mountain to pick a lot of wild vegetables, not only shepherd's purse, but also purslane and some wild vegetables that Yuanxu knew. After it dries up, you can make soup and drink it. Purslane can actually be used to steam buns and make dumplings, but now there is no flour, so I have to think of other ways!As a person, especially a person living on an unknown desert island, it should be basic common sense to store food.Who knows if there will be any surprises?Who knows if there will be winter on this small island, just be prepared for everything.

After the wild vegetables are dried, they don't take up much space, but they have to think about ways to store their things.The pottery that Yuanxu burns are all bottles, pots, pans, and pans. If you want to store wild vegetables, there is not enough space and too little storage.

Later, this problem was solved when Yuan Xu was picking wild vegetables on the mountain. It was a coincidence that Yuan Xu saw a kind of shrub when he was picking wild vegetables on the mountain. When Yuan Xu saw it, he felt that if this kind of shrub grew taller, it might be similar to a weeping willow.

The branches of weeping willows are soft and sway when the wind blows. There are weeping willows in schools and some roadsides in the north. In spring, there are tender green buds. Looking from a distance, it brings the breath of spring and is full of vitality. Yes, it's so beautiful.

When he was in college, there was a classmate in his class who lived in the countryside. According to him, there were willow trees everywhere in the village, and the old man in the family could weave wicker baskets, big and small, which he himself learned when he was a child.At that time, another boy in the same dormitory was looking for a gift for his girlfriend. He heard that this classmate could weave things with wicker. Weave a small flower basket or pen holder for your girlfriend by hand!My girlfriend thinks this one is boring, that one is boring, and now girls are hard to serve!

So, the boy who wanted to learn how to weave things felt ashamed to learn it by himself, so he encouraged the whole dormitory to learn together, so there were a lot of men learning to weave all kinds of delicate things with wicker, Yuan Xu also followed suit at the time, but at that time, he thought what was the use of learning this thing? !Anyway, does he have a girlfriend!But because the whole dormitory learned it, in order not to appear too independent, and for the sake of the friendly relationship in the dormitory, Yuan Xu still followed suit.

It's just that I didn't expect that it would be useful one day now. The branches of this bush are very similar to willow branches, but I don't know if they can be used to weave baskets and baskets.

However, when Yuan Xu returned to the small cave this day, he still brought a large bundle of branches of this shrub.You can try it at night. After weaving baskets and baskets, you don’t have to worry about no place to put the dried wild vegetables. You can store them in the baskets, and just take them out to dry regularly to prevent mildew.

Today, Yuan Xu stewed a pot of rabbit meat. When he went out in the morning, he stewed the rabbit meat on the pot. After it was boiled, he threw a few pieces of thick wood into it. This is a slow cooker, so it should be less It took a long time, so Yuan Xu didn't worry that the fire would go out after he went back, he had tried several times.

Carrying a large bundle of bush strips, and a lot of shepherd's purse and purslane wrapped in wide leaves, this is what he harvested after going out for more than half a day. Today's harvest of wild vegetables is a bit small, because he went to collect them later. The shrub is broken, this thing is more difficult to break, do you have any convenient tools in hand, so Yuan Xu came back late today, but the harvest was the least.

Putting down the wild vegetables and shrubs, Yuan Xu washed his hands by the stream, walked to the stove, carefully placed the leaves on it, and lifted the lid of the pot, a burst of meaty smell wafted into his nostrils, and he saw that the meat in the pot was already stewed. Because the fire under the pot has not been extinguished, there are small water splashes from time to time, bringing out a burst of heat and aroma, Yuan Xu picked up the salt shaker, scooped an appropriate amount of salt into it, and stirred it in the pot with chopsticks Stir and cover the pot again.

Put the salt shaker in the house, on the stone table, and be careful not to let it fall. Although he has stored a lot of salt, it is very laborious to cook it. If you are not careful I fell, but my heart hurts to death.

Take the wild vegetables brought back from the wide leaves, treat them as usual, wash them, and put them on a large flat stone to dry in the sun. This stone was here before, and it is quite flat. The dining table is a bit short, so Yuan Xu has been using it to dry things.The wild vegetables he picked are all washed and dried here. They are so dry that they almost become powder when pinched, so they have to be taken out to dry after a while. After all, it is an island, and the air is relatively humid. Xu is afraid that it will become moldy after a long time.

After drying the wild vegetables, Yuanxu suddenly remembered something. He walked into the small cave, took out a handful of dried purslane from several earthenware pots placed on the stones in the corner, and put them in the pot, so that the dried vegetables could be dried. Absorbing the broth, it tastes both meaty and vegetable.

When I came back, I packed up the wild vegetables by category, and laid them out on the stones separately. Well, if this is the case, it should be almost dry in the evening, and it will be more thoroughly dried in the sun for another day tomorrow.

Put the tender purslane that was specially reserved in a small pottery plate, and Yuan Xu took a pot to boil a pot of water at another simple stove, then blanch the purslane once, and when it was cooked, took it out and put it in the In the plate, remove the water, put some salt and mix it, it is quite refreshing.

Look at the purslane that has been stretched in the broth, stretch out the chopsticks to pick up a piece of it, um, it's ready.

Putting the meat pot and the mixed purslane on the small table that he often used to eat, Yuan Xu looked at the meals he had made, and thought a little regretfully, it is a pity that there are no more condiments and staple foods, steamed buns and rice, Anything goes!Otherwise, this meal is really delicious.

Thinking of this, Yuan Xu couldn't help but miss the steamed buns and rice that he didn't pay much attention to in the past. The delicacy was infinitely magnified, imagining the sweet taste of the steamed buns and rice just out of the pan, and his saliva almost flowed out.

People, they will always miss things that they don't have now, and they will infinitely magnify the advantages of that thing. Whether it is people or things, what can't be obtained is always beautiful.Spread your hands, otherwise you want Yuanxu to think about it. In the orphanage, the steamed buns that can’t be eaten for the second time are full of water vapor. When Yuan Xu was a child, he hated eating steamed buns like this, but now he thinks about the best steamed buns just out of the pan.There is also rice, because the craftsmen in the canteen of the orphanage are different, so the level of steamed rice is also different.

However, these things are always forgotten at this time. When I think of them, they are always delicious and the most beautiful!

After eating and drinking some water, Yuan Xu enjoys the moment of resting after the meal. He is always in a good mood when eating, enjoying the beauty of the food, and resting after the meal to extend the comfort of this moment.

After eating, Yuan Xu looked at the large bundle of shrubs he brought back, stretched his waist, and planned to start working!

When I was studying at that time, the classmate said that for wicker, you need to peel off the bark of the wicker first, then get the white wicker inside, and then dry it. Separate the different thicknesses and use them as bottom hole strips, side strips, and side strips. To wrap the strips, soak the wicker in water until soft.Then start editing again.

Yuan Xu picked up a shrub stick, looked at it, and planned to use this method to set it up.However, when getting the bark down, I really encountered some troubles. Some shrubs are very thin, and the bark is really difficult to peel off. Let it dry.

Fortunately, after stripping, practice makes perfect, and the speed is a little faster, but it is almost dark after finishing this bundle of shrub strips.Put the shrub strips neatly on the stones. The sun has not set yet, and it can be dried for a while.

However, Yuan Xu still had some shrub strips left, and he planned to try to weave a small basket just like this. The shrub strips were still very soft, so he weaved them according to the pattern in his memory, and Yuan Xu quickly made one and two palms The big and small baskets look pretty good. It seems that I have done a lot better than when I learned how to weave. Not only have I not forgotten how to weave, but my technique has also improved. This is really an unexpected surprise.

Holding this small basket, Yuan Xu thought for a while, put some of the wild vegetables that had been dried today into the basket, and when it was full, he found that it was quite full. I usually use it for cooking, and put it together with the salt shaker.

I put away the rest, and temporarily found a large leaf to put it in. There was no way, the bottles and jars were already full.There is nothing left to hold these dried vegetables.

Put away the dried wild vegetables, put away the shrubs, there is a small half of the big pot of stewed rabbit meat left at noon, Yuan Xu warmed it up on the stove, and then picked a few five-color fruits, and dinner was settled like this.

After dinner, as usual, it was the rest time after dinner. Yuan Xu rolled up the thatch and thatch pillows, found a stable place to spread them, and lay on them, staring at the starry sky in a daze, and relaxing his mind.

Looking up at the starry sky, Yuan Xu allowed his thoughts to diverge. At some point, Yuan Xu entered a state of being speechless, as if he was in harmony with the starry sky and nature, and his spirit blended in without being bound by his body at all!At this time, Yuan Xu didn't know that this was like the Buddhist epiphany, a mysterious and mysterious feeling.
