After living on a desert island, they all plotted evil against me.

Taro is a tuber plant.

So it should like to grow in a humid environment, and at least have certain characteristics of aquatic plants.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t be growing in batches on both sides of the river on the top of the mountain.

So his request for Anya and Su Yan was to bury the small taros at a distance of 1.1 meters along the low-lying areas, but they must not be buried in the low-lying areas.

Amidst the sounds of the girls practicing together, the dusk of the ninth day of No. 40 has also arrived.

This kind of training is actually very boring and very energy-consuming.

Therefore, before dusk, the girls had stopped practicing and sat inside the wooden wall to drink water and rest.

By the way, while listening to the "bang bang" sound of Zhang Liu chopping bamboo outside, he took off his shoes and socks to disperse the smell in advance.

As for Su Yan and Anya, who went to farm, they had also returned. After struggling for a long time, they still used water in a bamboo tube to wash their mud-covered hands.

The other girls also took the opportunity to wipe their little feet with the curtain cloth dipped in water.

Cut off the No. 16 bamboo and break it open.

Looking at the 32 pieces of bamboo troughs piled randomly on the ground, Zhang Liu nodded with satisfaction.

Then he walked to the wooden wall and said to the girls: "You boil water and scrape the taro paste first. I'll get some palm cores and come over. Let's have porridge and celebrate Laba tonight!"

Seeing the surprised expressions on the girls' faces, Zhang Liu suddenly had a smile on his face.

At the same time, he also smiled and explained to Qin Ruoyan who looked astonished: "The taro paste is used as rice, and then the palm core and fruit are used as other ingredients for Laba porridge. That's about it. After all, our conditions are difficult."

Hearing Zhang Liu's special explanation to her, Qin Ruoyan was so happy that she couldn't control her ladylike demeanor.

She burst out laughing, and then Qin Ruoyan quickly covered her smiling mouth with her hands and said, "It's up to you, you're the only one smart!"

The coquettish feeling in her tone made other girls stunned for a moment...

According to ancient legends, Laba porridge was created by a young couple who were lazy and ran out of food at the end of the year, so they simply swept up all the leftover food at home and stewed it in a pot.

In fact, after Zhang Liu listened to the story told by his father and mother, he was once confused that the two of them had eaten porridge in Laba, so what should Laba eat...

And showed the spirit of "breaking the casserole to get to the bottom of the matter", but as his father lifted the broom, Zhang Liu's indomitable spirit disappeared in an instant...

After both parents passed away and experienced the "feeling of being without food."

He also fully understands that a family will not become poor all of a sudden. It will slowly use up its last penny, and then become completely poor and cannot afford to eat.

So those who can find Laba porridge by sweeping the floor probably don’t have to worry about what to eat the next day...

Chapter 3: The Importance of Protecting Tender Parts (Monthly Ticket Reward for Extra Chapter 31)

Of course, Zhang Liu and the girls who were cheering and starting to process the taro paste inside the wooden wall were not lazy people. Everyone had sufficient food reserves, so they didn't worry about what to eat the next day.

To be honest, if I didn't have two younger sisters to take care of.

He really likes his current life of free food and accommodation...

Putting away the homesickness in his mind, Zhang Liu walked towards the nearby woods with a machete in hand.

There are many small palm trees here, which are just right to cut down and core them.

In modern technology, palm cores are packaged into healthy meals and harvested crazily to pay taxes.

The petty bourgeoisie who specializes in killing the rich and pretending to be rich.

But for Zhang Liu and others who were trying to survive in the wilderness, this kind of food was really tasteless and was a pity to throw away.

Compared with taro, which can be eaten just by digging it out, washing it and throwing it into the fire to roast it.

You need to first select and chop relatively tender palm trees, and then cut through the outer bark layer by layer to obtain the palm core. It is simply a food with a terrible cost performance.

It’s time consuming and not enough to eat…

But today was to enrich the ingredients for the "desert island version of Laba porridge", so Zhang Liu had no choice but to take action.

Find a smaller palm tree, cut it with a knife, and dig out the inner core.

After this operation was completed, Zhang Liu wrapped eight palm cores in palm leaves and walked to the mountainside shelter in the south.

The sky has completely darkened.

The earthen stove next to the bonfire burned again, with a small clay pot on top.

The whole taro paste scraped from a large taro has been stewed inside.

After seeing the palm core, Xiang Wanying and Xiang Lingying's expressions were slightly unnatural.

Between them, they picked up a sharp piece of flint from the seaside, and then frantically paddled and pulled palm cores on the western mountain to make a living...

I didn’t expect to have to eat it again today.

However, looking at the mashed taro being stewed in a small clay pot and the other Laba porridge ingredients that they and others were preparing, the two of them could not accept it.

Chopped palm core can be used as a substitute for "lotus seeds".

The taste is sweet, and the egg yolk fruit cut into large pieces is "yellow-fleshed red dates"

After the tamarind core is removed and kneaded into a ball, it becomes "strange peanuts"

However, these things cannot be added directly.

Because after the fruit is stewed, there will be a strange smell...

Even if it is a fruit with a sweet taste like egg yolk, the situation is the same.

The girls sat in a circle and watched Zhang Liu processing palm cores on palm leaves, their eyes filled with emotion.

Especially Qin Ruoyan, she no longer has the dissatisfaction she had just now when "Zhang Liu only praised Anya and not himself".

The taro paste on the earthen stove has been removed and placed aside to cool.

After it cools down, it is divided into nine parts and placed in a bamboo bowl.

On the bottom of the bamboo bowl are palm cores and fruit pieces.

"Rather than saying this is Laba porridge, it's better to say it's fruit porridge..." Anya commented directly after tasting it.

The other girls also nodded and highly agreed with this evaluation.

"Cough cough cough cough... don't pay attention to these details, just think of it as Laba porridge." Zhang Liu smiled awkwardly, then scratched his head and explained his approach rather stiffly: "After all, there are already many You can chew the food and eat it..."

But his tough-talking look also made the girls laugh.

The atmosphere throughout the dinner was very good, but that was probably because we were going hunting tomorrow.

So after eating, every girl's face turned into a slightly nervous and serious expression.

Everyone also understood that after waking up and eating breakfast tomorrow morning, it would be time to go find the wild boar to fight.

After the day was spent, all the fresh water in the sheepskin bag and five plastic bottles was still there.

But the fresh water in the twelve bamboo tubes has been exhausted.

"Everyone, go to bed early. Let's leave early tomorrow." Zhang Liu looked at the eight girls who were staring at him and said nothing. "Then everyone is going to eat wild boar."

"Yeah!" All the girls nodded vigorously, then lay down together and closed their eyes.

Xiang Wanying silently looked at the tension hidden between Zhang Liu's brows, but a little pity quietly surged in her heart.

The other party is obviously his younger brother who is five years younger than me...

It was midnight, and the other girls were sleeping soundly, but Zhang Liu was awakened by the terrifying nightmare of hunting a wild boar unarmed and failing in the end, and was viciously poked by the wild boar.

Looking around at the girls who were still sleeping peacefully and the bamboo guns placed around the shelter, he breathed a sigh of relief...

Sitting up and looking at the gradually weakening fire in front of him, Zhang Liu put a few firewood in it and then prepared to lie down and sleep.

As a result, he suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from his ears.

Turning his head to look, Zhang Liu found that Xiang Wanying, who was lying next to him, also stood up slightly and looked over with a soft smile.

"Sister Wanying..." He opened his mouth slightly and was about to speak when he saw Xiang Wanying put her index finger in front of her lips in a "shush" gesture.

Zhang Liu immediately stopped talking and sat silently watching the other party's next move.

When the girls came out, they all carried a notebook with them.

The natural purpose is to tear off a page every day to "protect flowers and handle personal hygiene."

Xiang Wanying was taking out her notebook from her maid skirt, and then made an "I want to use a pen" gesture towards Zhang Liu.

Zhang Liu also understood what the other party was thinking, so he took out a pen from the outer pocket of his backpack and handed it to him.

"You seem nervous?"

After writing down a few lines, Xiang Wanying handed the notebook to the boy next to her.

When he finished, he drew a cute smiley face next to this sentence.

"no!"

Zhang Liu also responded decisively, but as a boy, he would naturally be harsh at this time, and even drew an expression of gnashing teeth next to him.

After looking at the contents of the notebook, Xiang Wanying pursed her lips and showed a naughty smile, and then she continued to write...

The two started chatting silently. Although the speed was relatively slow, with the participation of emoticons, it was even more interesting than talking.

Amidst the sound of the pen brushing, Zhang Liu's originally highly tense emotions were slowly calmed down.

"Thank you, Sister Wanying, for your enlightenment." He wrote this sentence repeatedly on his notebook, and when he handed the notebook to the sister next to him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at Xiang Wanying, who was smiling until her eyes turned into slits after checking the news, with an expression of "guess I believe it or not" on her face, Zhang Liu responded with a helpless smile on her face.

She is indeed a professional maid...

Even my current pretending to be calm has been seen through...

As the initiator of the hunting plan.

He was under great mental pressure, fearing that something would go wrong during tomorrow's hunting period, but Zhang Liu never showed this anxiety to anyone.

"No need, you have already protected everyone very well!" 》

Xiang Wanying wrote this sentence at the bottom of the paper, then tore off the full page and handed it to Zhang Liu.

"Thorn..."

The sound of paper being torn was slightly harsh in the silent night sky.

But the sound wasn't loud, so it didn't wake anyone up.

Zhang Liu looked at the paper handed to Xiang Wanying with a puzzled expression.

He didn't understand why the other party did this.

Xiang Wanying gestured towards the fire, although Zhang Liu was still unclear about the situation.

But he was also very obedient and put the paper into the fire and burned it.

"Yeah!" As the paper twisted and turned into ashes in the fire, Xiang Wanying smiled even happier.

Of course what’s on the paper is no big deal.

But this kind of secret conversation between the two of them using paper and pen, and then the other party burning the paper gave her a happy feeling of "protecting a little secret with her sweetheart."

This is the happiness that only belongs to girls.

Minato reached out to tidy up the slightly too long hair of the boy next to him. Looking at Zhang Liu's handsome face, Xiang Wanying felt a flash of fear in her heart.

She wanted to kiss him directly...

Slightly sticking out the tip of her tongue to moisten her lips, Xiang Wanying was extremely troubled.

And Zhang Liu also felt that the hand on his head stayed for too long.

He subconsciously turned his head and met Xiang Wanying's clear eyes.

Looking into each other's eyes, only the other person and you can understand the feeling.

Emotions are present in people from birth.

Moreover, it is easiest to get emotional interactions between people through their eyes.

At this moment, Zhang Liuben interacted with the girl who was five years older than him, and he accurately read the emotion of "want" in her eyes.
