Take it with you

Chapter 36 Mutant Aquatic Creatures
After a short rest, some people put away all the things that could be stored on the river, and everyone set off again.Xing Lu didn't do anything, she already collected enough when she was in the river, so I'd better leave it to others.

"Sister Lulu, show me what good things you put away just now, are those aquatic plants edible?"

"I don't know if I can eat it, but I just put them away when I was free." He said and took out a bucket, which was full of various aquatic plants.

"Wow, Miss Lulu, why are there so many different varieties? But I can't even tell you what it is."

"Not only these, but also many kinds." After speaking, he took out another bucket.

"Let me take a look." Uncle Cang picked up the things in the bucket and observed them carefully.After a while, he spoke.

"The one in my hand should be bitter grass, but there are some mutations. The leaves are much thicker than before. And the ones in the bucket should be foxtail grass, and there are mostly eye vegetables. The leaves are much wider than before. The color has also changed slightly. But these can’t be eaten before the catastrophe, because their plant fibers cannot be decomposed by the human body. It’s better not to eat now, but you can keep it, and wait until the Tianyou base to see if there is any People charge."

"Well, some equipment stores may accept it. They can use these as raw materials to extract fibers and weave them into protective clothing with special functions." Uncle Da nodded.

Xing Lu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when she heard that these were not edible, but Uncle Cang paused, then picked up an oval leaf that was bigger than a palm, with sticky juice on it, "This should be a mutated water shield Also called horseshoe vegetable, water sunflower. Because it has a round taste, delicious and tender, rich in collagen, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins and minerals, it was one of the precious vegetables in the past, and it has both medicine and food health benefits."

"Let me see, Uncle Cang, isn't the water shield curly? How can it be flat and so big!"

"Hehe, girl, those water shields you ate before are young leaves and shoots that have not yet stretched out, aren't they curly? Besides, they are all mutated, so why are they still the same as before? Speaking of which, there is nothing now Mutation? Almost all things without mutation have been eliminated. Except for humans, they are still the same as before, with one nose and two eyes."

After finishing speaking, she turned her head and said to Xing Lu, "Girl, did you collect a lot of these just now? Get the old man some soup with water shield and beef at noon."

"Well, Uncle Xing Cang, there are quite a few of these things, enough to last for a while, I'll see what else I can make."

Putting away the bucket, Xing Lu threw out another bucket of fish, "Uncle Da, Uncle Cang, can you help me see if these are edible?"

Seeing this bucket of fish, Chu Yu's eyes lit up, and Uncle Da who was beside him saw it all in his eyes, "You really asked the right person, you Uncle Da, I haven't studied anything else, but if I can't distinguish this fish No one will know you." After speaking, he stopped the car and switched with Uncle Cang who was sitting in the back seat of the car, and Uncle Cang went to drive.

Chu Xiran on the side whispered to Xing Lu, "Uncle Da's family was a fisherman when he was a child." After speaking, he winked mischievously at Uncle Da.

Not caring about Chu Xiran revealing his old background, Uncle Da looked carefully at the bucket.

He first picked out several easily recognizable ones, "here, this should be grass carp, with a cylindrical body, a slightly flattened head, a flattened tail, no beard, and an arc-shaped mouth. The upper jaw is longer than the lower jaw, but the color is changed from the original light It is tea-yellow, only the back is blue-gray and now the whole body is blue-gray. Also, its upper and lower pharyngeal teeth are really sharp, and its attack power is very high, right?"

The last sentence was said in Chu Yu's direction. I didn't expect him to answer, but I didn't expect the young master to shake his head, "It's okay."

Although there are only two words, it still makes a few people feel a little flattered.

Immediately afterwards, under Uncle Da's careful identification and patient explanation, Xing Lu got to know many mutated fish.Mutated grass carp, mutated herring, mutated sturgeon,
Variation tilapia, etc.Uncle Da even found a rare species in it: the shad that was almost extinct before the cataclysm, and now it should be a mutant shad.

"The previous shad body was oblong, about 24 to 50 cm long. The head was flat on the side, the front end was blunt, the mouth was large, the end was positioned, the cleft was inclined, the lower jaw was slightly longer, and there was a notch in the middle of the upper jaw, and the rear end reached the posterior edge of the eye. Gill rakers are fine and dense. The scales are large and thin with fine lines; no lateral line, the abdomen is narrow, and there are large and sharp scales on the ventral surface, arranged in a jagged edge. The pelvic fins are extremely small, and the bases of the pectoral and pelvic fins have large And elongated axillary scales. The starting point of the dorsal fin is opposite to the pelvic fin. The caudal fin is deeply forked, with small scales on the back. The back of the body and the head are gray and black..."

"Okay, Uncle Da, every time you talk about shad, you always talk like this. I'm tired of listening to you even if you don't say it." Chu Xiran saw that Uncle Da was about to start teaching , hastily called a stop.

"Little girl, how can you understand the heartache of a shad fanatic about the imminent extinction of shad! Now it's hard to find its trace, I'm excited! Besides, Xing Lu may not be very clear about it, I'll tell her Can you listen?"

Ignoring the argument between the two, Xing Lu picked up the mutant shad weighing [-] to [-] catties and observed it carefully.Compared with Uncle Da's introduction, it has almost no major variation, except that its body is bigger and its scales are also enlarged. Only its ventral surface is lined with jagged prismatic scales, and the pectoral fins and axillary scales at the base of the pelvic fins have changed. It is extremely sharp, and it will be scratched if you are not careful.

After the appraisal was completed, Xing Lu gained a lot. She originally put it away during the battle, but she didn't expect there to be so many good things, so she couldn't help but feel a little proud.Chu Xiran was also very excited: There will be so many more dishes in the future.She even repeatedly told Xing Lu to call her when collecting things in the future, so that she could collect more.Provoking Xing Lu to slander: I didn't guard against you when I put away the things, Miss, you didn't think of this at all, okay? !
At noon, Xing Lu made steamed mutated shad, braised mutated tilapia, squirrel mutated mandarin fish, spicy mutated black fish, mutated perch in tomato sauce, and of course the mutated beef stew with water shield named by Uncle Cang.

Among them, she made two servings of steamed mutated shad and mutated water shield beef soup, and sent them to Qiu Lin before the meal.Qiu Lin tried every means to keep her, and invited her to eat together, but she refused.

"Wow, a whole fish feast! Brother Chu Yu, you have to eat more today!" Luo Qi yelled at Chu Yu when he saw the things on the table.

"Sister Lulu, ignore him. But, let me tell you a secret, my brother likes to eat fish the most, no matter what kind it is."

After hearing this, Chu Yu remained silent. Only the careful Uncle Cang noticed that the tips of his young master's ears had turned red.

"Oh, today's meal, if it is before the catastrophe, it will not be easy to eat, we have to enjoy it."

"Uncle Da, what do you say? A few fish. After eating, we can catch them if we encounter them?" Zhang Qiang asked puzzled.

"How many fish? Young man, it seems that you are still a little less knowledgeable, not to mention how rare this braseni beef stew was before. Some people can't eat the steamed shad in their entire lives. I'm afraid they don't even know what the shad looks like." I haven’t seen it. Even if I’ve traveled all over the world for more than [-] years, I’ve only seen it twice. As for eating, I’ve only eaten a piece the size of a teacup in my life.”

"Wow! It's so rare? Then I have to eat more, I don't know when the next time I will eat it!" Xiaohua who was stunned by Uncle Da couldn't help but said.

"Haha, silly Xiaohua, Uncle Da also said just now, that was in the past. This time crossing the river, Sister Lulu collected a lot, enough for us to eat a hundred times."

"Sister Lulu, is what sister Xiaoxi said true?"

Xing Lu silently calculated in her heart: she used about five catties at a time, the smallest one weighed thirteen or four catties, the big one weighed thirty or forty catties, and there were about thirty or so.Zhao Xiaohua nodded, "Well, enough, just a little more."

The child had no other thoughts, and cheered excitedly when he saw Xing Lu nodding.
