Big Islander 2

Chapter 383 Advanced Compatibility Skills

It is rare for the Elephant tribe to eat meat, so those little dolls are the happiest, especially those who successfully captured the little wild boar. White Fang smiled so brilliantly.

Tang Jide was puzzled: You said that these aborigines don't brush their teeth. Why are all their teeth so white? Could it be because of their darker skin?
The fact is of course not what he guessed. Everyone in the Xiangren tribe has good teeth, which is mainly related to their diet: vegetarian food and milk are their main food. In addition, Tang Jide also found that they like to chew a kind of tooth with a slightly bitter taste. leaves, may contain substances that clean teeth and mouth.

Of course, there is another misunderstanding: good teeth are not made by brushing, especially when children are underage, there is no need to brush their teeth.

The strong smell of meat permeated the tribe, but those mercenaries could only smell it.A scoop of polenta per person is their food.It would be nice to be able to eat this, if according to Mr. Chief, these people are only worthy of eating pig food.

After the meal, with a happy mood, Tang Jide and his party, accompanied by the chief and the wizard, took five or six elephant warriors, left the tribe, and began to wander around.Of course, the black translator is indispensable in the team.Although Xiao Xiami has a strong language learning ability, but because of the short contact time, he can't communicate well.

In comparison, the living conditions of the Elephant Man tribe are still very difficult. There are many rocks in the Wenda area, so there are few big trees. Because of this, there are relatively few people living here, so they basically remain Compared with the original style.

After walking for a while, gradually there was no path. Fortunately, Tang Jide cleared the way, and the vegetation along the way gave way one after another.And Brother Big Head also picks two leaves from time to time, or picks a bunch of small fruits, chews them slowly in his mouth, and savors the taste of this plant carefully.

I have to admit that there are very few plants here that are suitable for seasoning. Tang Jide found a kind of spicy small spherical fruit, but it is spicy and fishy, ​​and it is disgusting in the mouth. The taste is worse than that of chili. Far.

In addition, several kinds of plant seeds with aromatic smell have been found, but none of them can be directly used as spices and put into food, mainly because the taste is relatively mixed.It seems that in order to make a suitable seasoning, a higher-level combination technique is required-that is, to blend several spices together in a certain proportion to form a new fragrance.This is much more complicated, the compatibility of ingredients is ever-changing, and it is extremely difficult to operate.Even Tang Jide, a botanical expert, is still scratching his head.

Seeing that Tang Jide was eating non-stop, Qiao Nana thought it was something delicious, so when Tang Jide picked a few dry seeds from a bush, he showed a satisfied smile on his face, she I also picked a few and tasted them, but my mouth was numb and astringent, and I squatted there and retched.

It seems that being a chef is not so easy, but the master is amazing, and he can chew such an unpalatable food with relish - Qiao Nana can't do it without admiration. This is the first time I have experienced the firm belief in the profession of chef and the greatness of the master. .

"This stuff is good. With a little combination, it can be made into a kind of barbecue material." Tang Jide then said that this small dried fruit is called mountain pepper, but it needs to be compatible with several seasonings he has tried.As for the ratio between them, it needs to be very precise.There is no balance here, so we can only use a stupid method to dry these plants and grind them into powder, and then use a uniform container as a measuring cup, which should be similar.

In the process of research and tasting, the wizards in the tribe admired Tang Jide more and more. Not to mention anything else, just what he saw with his own eyes, the island owner ate several poisonous leaves and berries, and the result was a little Nothing.You know, he's tried one of these before, and nearly spit out his guts.

How did he know that as long as it is plant toxin, it will not cause any harm to Brother Big Head, and may even produce a benign side effect.

The pheasant was idle and bored, so he helped Tang Datou brag: "You don't know, brother Datou's belly is even more powerful than the belly of a wild boar. Wild boars eat everything, and sometimes it is inevitable to eat some that contain toxins. stuff, but no shit."

This kind of praise for Mr. Pheasant usually sounds very awkward. In the end, I don’t know whether it is a compliment or a detriment to you. This has already risen to a certain level of art.

Tang Jide was very inspired after hearing this: Yes, we should not only pay attention to the stems, leaves and seeds on the ground, but also the roots or tubers buried in the ground, which are also a major source of seasoning.

So the team moved even slower, and Tang Jide would pull up a plant from time to time, and then taste the grass roots.Not to mention, the hard work paid off, and after a while, I found a plant rhizome similar to ginger, and the taste was very pure, so I could use it directly.

Of course good things can't be eaten alone, so Brother Datou made a piece for everyone to taste, but once Qiao Nana was bitten by a snake, she was afraid of well ropes for ten years and refused to eat anything.But Mr. Chief and the others nodded repeatedly after eating.Especially the old wizard, he kept in mind all the plants that Tang Jide said could be used.In a sense, a wizard is an inheritor of aboriginal tribal culture.

At noon, everyone sat under a big tree to cool off, and lunch naturally fell on Tang Jide's head. He lived up to expectations, and mixed several kinds of wild vegetables, which were often eaten by the Elephant tribe.However, after adding Tang Jide's newly prepared seasoning, the taste became so refreshing that even Qiao Nana almost decided to give up her research work and learn cooking skills from her master.

Only by comparing can we distinguish, so the members of the Elephant Man tribe have the most say. From the actions of the old wizard and the old chief who are struggling to grab vegetables, it can be seen that Tang Jide did not disappoint them.

As for the staple food, it is not difficult for plant experts.Brother Big Tou found a kind of plant root, crushed it, spread it on the hot stone slab, and soon turned into small cakes one by one.Add a little salt and another combination of seasonings inside, it tastes sticky, and the mouth is fragrant.The old wizard was deeply inspired, remembered this plant, and also suggested that this seasoning can also be put in it when eating polenta in the future.

This ability to draw inferences from one fact shocked Tang Jide, and he couldn't help but praise a few words through the translation.The old wizard shook his head again and again: "It's a pity that we have lost many things in the inheritance of the Elephant Man tribe. It is said that long ago, the wizards of the tribe were able to communicate with the gods. They could prepare a medicine, and after drinking it, they could go to worship. God, accept the blessing of God."

Of course, Tang Jide didn't believe his statement. Maybe he was poisoned by drinking some kind of hallucinogen. For example, some drugs were originally discovered by indigenous peoples.

However, what the old wizard said about the loss of inheritance made Big Brother feel a little regretful.Many aboriginal tribes have no written language, and the inheritance depends entirely on word of mouth, which is very unstable.It seems necessary to discuss this issue when the first Indigenous Congress is held.

After eating a delicious meal, everyone's interest was obviously higher, but the magical plant called rados mentioned by the old chief has never been found, which shows that it is rare. As an outsider, Tang Jide can eat one. One lucky thing.However, he met several Kuba trees. Tang Jide carefully analyzed the living environment of these trees, and he had some concerns in his heart, so he solemnly proposed to Mr. Chief that when he left, he would take a few Kuba branches with him.

The chief agreed without even thinking about it, and kindly reminded Tang Jide that only the old bark will be effective, and the new branches will not be effective.

Tang Jide explained to him that he wanted to take them back for breeding.Chief Lao Dang Yizhuang rolled his big eyeballs for a long time, then kept mumbling about the impossibility.Because there were some outsiders who stole Kuba's saplings from them before, but they all came back to explore the secrets in the end, obviously they didn't survive the transplantation.

As the most outstanding plant master in the world, Tang Jide is of course confident.But he didn't explain too much to the chief, after all, there were many secrets involved.On the other hand, Qiao Nana thought that Master had discovered a new seasoning, so she didn't pay attention, and missed the opportunity to get in touch with this magical cool bar.Probably, this is the so-called not knowing the true face of Lushan Mountain, just because it is in this mountain.

As Tang Jide tasted more and more plants, the condiments he prepared became richer and more delicious.It's just that the old wizard suffered a lot. There are so many Chinese plants, some use leaves, some use roots, some use skins, and some use fruits, which made his head a little big.

He finally understood why Mr. Island Owner's head is so big, mainly because there are too many things in it.This principle is similar to the condoms used by their elephants. The bigger the condom, the more connotation it has.

When he uttered this idea, he was immediately praised by the pheasant: "As expected of the smartest person in the elephant tribe, he just has an idea!"

Comparing these two things together is really awkward——Tang Jide was a little bit dumbfounded, and went to the side to study the compatibility of plants.

Others were tired from walking and sat on a big rock to rest.Only the old wizard was frowning and muttering, memorizing those complicated plant seasonings.The pheasant had to sigh: "It's not easy being a wizard!"

As soon as the words fell, Tang Datou was seen galloping out of the grass, shouting as he ran: "Silly girl, why are you here, you want to kill me—"

Hearing his yelling, Xiao Xiami and Pheasant looked around, but there was no figure of Sha Gu.Besides, the Elephant Man tribe is so remote, it is impossible for Shagu to find it here.

Just as he was dazed, Tang Datou had already rushed forward, his eyes were staring, with green and sticky plant residue hanging from the corner of his mouth, he opened his arms and rushed towards Qiao Nana——

A flash of inspiration flashed in Xiao Xiami's mind: No, Uncle Datou must have taken hallucinogens and is now in a hallucination!

It seems that Brother Big Head's medicine dispensing ability is really strong, and he can even make out the hallucinogen lost by the Elephant Man tribe.However, it frightened Qiao Nana into a fool, and she stood there blankly, at a loss.
