365 days of wilderness survival

Liu Yimeng's long eyelashes trembled, and she also squatted down, reached out and grabbed the dead grass that emerged from the snow, and asked suspiciously: "These dead grass are good things?"

"Dead grass is not, buried in the soil is." Chu Feng said softly, reaching out to gouge the snow, clearing all the snow on the soil layer, revealing the sandy land below.

"What kind of plant is this?" asked Liu Yimeng curiously, helping to clear the snow.

"Oil sedge, also called oil sedge. Chu Feng said softly, using a firewood knife to gouge the sand and dig out the rhizome of the oil sand bean.

Oil soybean, also known as tiger nut, is a plant belonging to the sedge family, which is a high-quality, high-yield, comprehensive utilization value of the plant, in the city is also a beautified, green environment ornamental plant.

The most important point of the oil salsa bean is that the tuber growing at its root can be squeezed for oil, and the squeezed oil is a high-quality health edible oil in the city.

"Oh... I don't know, what's the use?" Liu Yimeng blinked Shui Lingling's big eyes, still hearing the name Yau Shadou for the first time.

"It can be used to squeeze oil. Chu Feng chuckled, shaking the rhizome of the oil bean, shaking the sand sticking to it, revealing the tuber connected to the root whisker.

There are many tubers in a plant, most of which are round and oval, and some are long strips, about the size of a human tail finger.

"Huh, squeeze oil?" said Liu Yimeng in amazement, reaching out to pluck the tuber attached to the root whisker, putting it on the tip of his nose and sniffing, only smelling a faint smell of mud and sand.

"Well, the oil yield is still very high. Chu Feng said softly, oil salsa beans are a plant highlighted in the plant oil pressing gift package, the oil yield is comparable to rape, but the quality of the oil squeezed out is better than the oil squeezed from rape.

Another feature of the oil squeezed from oil beans is that it is not easy to deteriorate for a long time, and it has a unique effect on reducing blood lipids and preventing cardiovascular diseases, so it is also called health oil.

"Then let's dig more, there should be a lot of it around." Liu Yimeng said excitedly, this oil soybean can squeeze oil, which solves the problem of daily cooking oil.

"Well, there should be oil and beans all around. Chu Feng nodded slightly, and occasionally he could see the dead grass exposed on the snow layer, which was the ripe and dry blades of grass of the oil beans.

After ripening, it is rich in oil and starch, it is not perishable and moldy in the soil, and has a dormant period, and will germinate and grow again in the next spring, so there should be a large area of oil salsa beans around.

The two put down the bamboo basket and began to busy, using the firewood knives and wooden sticks they brought to gouge the snow layer, clearing a large clearing, revealing the sand below, and you can see a lot of dried oil beans.

Chu Feng and Liu Yimeng spent nearly an hour clearing a clearing with a diameter of five or six meters, and the exposed sand had dried oil beans on it.

"Don't clear the snow yet, dig some out, the rest will come back next time, they haven't gone back for too long, they should worry." Chu Feng said softly, shaking off the snow on the wood knife.

"Good. Liu Yiqiu gasped lightly, and clearing the snow was not an easy task.

The two squatted down and began to dig the soil, digging out all the oil beans and the root whiskers, shaking off the sand to reveal the tubers on the root whiskers.

"Do you want to pluck the tubers?" asked Liu Yimeng, tilting her head.

"If you don't pick it, just cut off the dead branches, and go back and deal with the rest." Chu Feng shook his head and said, picking tubers here is too time-consuming, and the girl should worry about going back too late.

"Good. Liu Yimeng nodded lightly and continued to dig the root whiskers of the oil sand beans.

"A lot of tubers have fallen off. "

With her philosophy of not wasting, even tubers that fell into the sand were turned over.

The originally empty bamboo basket was quickly filled, and the open space began to pile up with cut off dead branches.

Chu Feng turned over the rope, arranged the two side by side, and placed the roots and whiskers of the oil beans neatly, and tied them with ropes after they were all piled up.

The two spent nearly two hours digging up all the beans in the clearing and tying them into three large bundles with rope.

"Time to go back. Chu Feng said in a deep voice.

"So much, how to move?" Liu Yimeng shook her swollen hand, dug for two hours of frozen sand, and her hand was almost scrapped.

"Just like last time, let's do a sled. Chu Feng carried the firewood knife, turned around and went to the surrounding jungle, selected suitable trees, and cut them all down with a firewood knife.

He dragged the trunk back, expertly handling the wood, and began to make the sled with the rope.

After more than twenty minutes, a simple sled was completed.

Liu Yimeng helped carry the oil beans and bamboo baskets onto the sled, and then tied them tightly with rope and sleds.

"Gone. Chu Feng wrapped the rope around his arm a few times and pulled the sled towards the road when he came.

"If only there were horses or cows. Liu Yimeng gritted her teeth and pulled another rope and followed closely behind, obviously the weight of this sled was not light.

"When you encounter it later, you can catch a domesticated one. Chu Feng said softly, at least he hasn't seen cows and horses yet, besides, this is an island, will there be cows and horses?

If there is a wildebeest, it is estimated that it is also a wildebeest, but although there is a horse word on the name of the wildebeest, it is in fact a bovine animal, not a type of horse.

The two pulled the sled forward, the speed was not fast, and the snow was too thick, each step was extremely laborious, and it took twice as long to go back.

More than an hour later.

"Take a break. Chu Feng stopped and let the tightened rope loosen.

"Good. Liu Yimeng gasped and sat down against the sled.

She pursed her dry lips and asked softly, "How long do you have to go?"

They didn't come out with a steel pot this time, so they couldn't make a fire to boil water to drink, originally thought that about three hours was enough to go back and forth, but now because they found oil salsa beans, it took far more than three hours.

"Another hour walk should be there. Chu Feng also pursed his lips, he hadn't gone back for so long, so the girl should be very worried.

"Let's rest for a while and continue on our way. Liu Yimeng waved her hand weakly, and now she urgently needed to rest.

"Hmm. Chu Feng sat down against the sled, casually picked a tuber of a bean, scrubbed it with the snow next to him, and put it into his mouth to chew.

"Huh, can you eat the beans raw?" asked Liu Yimeng with a side head and curious looks.

"Yes, it's quite sweet, you can try it too." Chu Feng chuckled.

"I'll taste it. "

Liu Yimeng sideways plucked the tubers of the oil beans from the sleigh, scrubbed them with snow like Chu Feng, and then stuffed them into his mouth and chewed.

She was surprised: "It's sweet, it's delicious." "

After the tubers are chewed, there will be a faint sweetness, which relieves the dryness of the throat.
