Traveler Major League

Chapter 97 In order to survive
"The planting cycle is too long, and there are no tools at hand for catching fish. Now gathering and hunting are the fastest ways to solve hunger!" Liu Ze counted with his hands behind his back.

Chao Zhongchen scratched his head when he looked at the surroundings and the strange plants and fruits in his memory. As a native of Yunnan, although it was common for him to collect mushrooms and fruits in the wild, he could basically distinguish poisonous mushrooms and poisonous fruits at a glance. It’s really hard to recognize, but if you hold it in your hand and study it carefully, you can probably recognize it.
But for this strange island and these strange plants, Chao Zhongchen still felt dizzy.

Yunnan people like to eat mushrooms the most.

So every summer, there is an endless stream of people bending over to tidy up the hills.
In order to pick up the freshest mushrooms, many people set off up the mountain before dawn. When others came to collect mushrooms after breakfast, they found that all the mushrooms on the mountain they frequented had been picked up. As a last resort, they could only lame The donkey chased the rabbit, but if he couldn't keep up, he had to go to another hill.

I recalled that when I was a child, I loved picking mushrooms with my parents, carrying a small basket, and jumping on the top of the mountain. Although I left home later, I always cared about the taste of my hometown. Now I came to this deserted island and became a The person in charge of the collection work on the island prompted him to pick up this nostalgia.

It is different from the season in Shaanxi, especially when it rained the day before yesterday. Some fungi were nourished by the rain and sprang out of the soil. Most of these small fungi are pine fungi, which are very similar to those in Yunnan, and they taste delicious. Fresh and sweet, but the quantity is too small. Chao Zhongchen led his men to pick them up in the forest for an hour, but only picked up a small basket. There were some brightly colored tall mushrooms in the forest. But Chao Zhongchen didn't know it, so he didn't dare to ask his subordinates to pick it up.

Chao Zhongchen has some experience with some bacteria, but he doesn't know much about picking fruits and wild vegetables. However, there is no better candidate for the leader of the collection team on this island besides him. He can still know some things, and others People don't know at all, and they can shake their heads like a rattle if they ask anything, but he has no choice but to take on this important task. Anyway, if they can't figure it out, they can go to Liu Ze for advice.

Fortunately, although Liu Ze has no research on mushrooms and wild vegetables, he made a special video in modern times that is similar (this is true, you can search for the name of Bilibili, Douyin or Kuaishou: Traveler major league).

Liu Ze dragged Chao Zhongchen to describe the principle of the poison test in detail:
If there is a shortage of food, the short-term solution is to catch mammals to eat.

Because all known mammals are non-toxic (excluding individual organs), most birds are also non-toxic, but considering that germs and some birds like to eat things that are poisonous to humans, it is better to eat less.

Many brightly colored animals are also poisonous, so don't try the ones that are not poisonous.All food is best boiled before eating, so as to avoid many parasites and toxins.

All plants should not be taken lightly, as most are poisonous.

But there is a last resort when forced to help: safe food testing method.

Liu Ze divided it into four steps: look, smell, taste, and eat. No food was allowed 9 hours before the test to prevent interference.

(1) Hope: Do not eat all brightly colored animals and plants, and do not eat those that look frightening.

(2) Smell: Do not eat anything with a rotten, disgusting smell, and do not eat anything that smells like almonds (probably contains cyanide)

(3) Test: Take the part of the test object and wipe it on the inside of the wrist. If there is any discomfort, do not eat it.If everything is normal after 20 minutes, touch the test object with your lips and tongue. If everything is normal after 20 minutes, take a piece of test substance in your mouth. If everything is normal again after 20 minutes, eat that piece of test substance, and then Do not eat for 9 hours.

(4) Eat: If there is no adverse reaction after completing the above steps, you can eat a small amount of the test substance and wait for another 9 hours.

If there is no discomfort so far, the test substance can basically be confirmed to be non-toxic.

As soon as Liu Zeming finished talking to Chao Zhongchen, two soldiers rushed up carrying a stretcher. Yang Zeming, who had an unhealed arrow wound on his thigh, was lying on it. He used to be the battalion commander of the militia battalion.

When we were grouping yesterday, I unexpectedly found that he was the only one who was the most suitable for fishing. As a native of Yantai, Shandong, and as a man who grew up by the sea, he is far more familiar with life by the sea than everyone else in the team, even Liu Ze. inside.

He has a lot of experience in fishing and catching sea goods by the sea.

Although Yang Zeming was on the stretcher all the time, in order to highlight his usefulness, he still commanded two soldiers to carry him around Liu Ze, and always said loudly: "I finally returned to the beach alive. I know every inch of land, and my blood tastes like sea water, very salty."

"Whose blood is not salty? Battalion Commander Yang, could it be that your blood is made of seawater? Isn't your brain full of water? Hahaha." Wang Shanbao was extremely dissatisfied with such words. The problem is that none of the leaders of these working groups has his role, and can only act as an assistant to follow Liu Ze.

Yang Zeming didn't care about this kind of jealous behavior. He pointed to the rocks by the sea and said, "Look, there's food there! It's Gala, I used to eat it when I was young."

Everyone in the fishery group followed Yang Zeming's instructions to collect that kind of thing.

This is a kind of shelled, triangular oval or oval, with a smooth shell and a flat and sharp inner edge, a large and protruding top of the shell, densely packed in the middle of the sand, and countless creatures.

This thing is extremely easy to collect. When Liu Ze arrived, the fishery team had already collected several baskets.

Liu Ze grabbed a handful and asked, "Zeming, is this what you said?"

"Gala, it's just Gala, I didn't expect it to exist in this place."

"It's clearly a clam. It's very nutritious. I used to eat it often, but I can't drink too much beer, or I'm prone to gout. When it's fried, the soup is very fragrant." Liu Ze recalled the steamed egg with clams in his memory. Taste, nostalgia.

If this thing is manually raked and hoed, each person can harvest at least two hundred catties.

Although Yang Zeming didn't know what the beer Liu Ze was talking about, he didn't bother to ask. After all, as a commander, Liu Ze was still a commander with supernatural powers, so he naturally knew much more than ordinary people.

"Look, there are fish in this estuary, and there are a lot of them." Yang Zeming sat on a stretcher, stood up and ordered the soldiers to carry him over, pointed to the small estuary and continued, "Commander, look at the fat fish, let's use it Straw rope can be used to make a fishing net basket, throw the net into the water first, press the bottom with stones, and wait for the fish to automatically swim into the net.”

"You are really our baby bump, Yang Zeming, and we will depend on you for fishing. Finally, we don't have to worry about food in the near future." Liu Ze patted Yang Zeming's shoulder with a long sigh of relief, and then said, "These fish I'm afraid it's not enough for us to eat, we have to find a way to catch some big guys!"

"Commander, you can leave it to me. I think this place is very rich in products. Let's cut wood and build some boats. There will be no worries about food."

"Eating and drinking can be solved temporarily, but I'm afraid it won't last long. We have to wait for the thunderstorm to come." Liu Ze sighed.
