I saved a lot of Tokyo love heroines

But the forest was silent, and there were some seabirds in the distance, returning in flocks, chirping and calling.

In some dark forests, messy branches block the road, coupled with the rugged sour smell, it is even more difficult for Kitahara Araki and Kasumigaoka Shiwa to walk, so they can only slowly grope in the forest, scanning with serious and careful eyesight looking at the surrounding environment.

"Eh? Kitahara Araki-kun, look! What is that? Is it a banana tree?!"

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound in the silent forest.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu stood on her toes, happily pointed to a big tree with huge leaves that looked like a banana tree in the distance and said.

"Let me see."

After hearing Kasumigaoka Shiyu's call, Kitahara Araki, who was only two or three meters away, immediately looked over. His eyes searched carefully in the dim environment, and soon saw a tree that looked like a banana tree in the direction of Kasumigaoka Shiyu's finger.

"It looks a bit like a banana tree, but I'm not sure. Let's take a closer look." Kitahara Araki's real eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked carefully at the tree in the distance, but because the sky was a little dark, his vision was a little unreal. After hesitating, Kitahara Araki said to Kasumigaoka Shiwa next to him.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu nodded lightly, with a smile on his face: "Yeah."

After finishing speaking, Kitahara Araki carefully walked over with Kasumigaoka Shiwa behind him.

About 50 meters away, the road is covered with green vines on the ground, and there are messy weeds growing indiscriminately. The mountain road is very difficult to walk.

Kitahara Araki held a thick wooden stick picked up on the road, and slapped the weeds in front of him. By the way, he played a song to scare away the snakes, driving away the dangers hidden in the weeds, such as some lurking poisonous snakes, small bugs or poisonous insects.

Kasumigaoka Shiwa who was following behind quietly watched Kitahara Araki's behavior, with a gentle smile in his eyes and pupils, followed closely behind Kitahara Araki, feeling a faint sense of security lingering around him.

Soon, Kitahara Araki patted the weeds, and brought Kasumigaoka Shiwa behind him to the tree she found that looked like a banana tree.

This tree is about ten meters high, that is, as high as a two or three-story building. The huge leaves hang down slightly, like a huge fan.

On the top of the tree, there seems to be clusters of small fruits, which are green and curved, and they really look like bananas.

Kitahara Araki walked under the tree, raised his head, carefully identified the leaves of the tree and the fruits on it, and found that the tree did not seem to be a banana tree.

"Kasumigaoka Shiwa-senpai, this is not the banana tree you mentioned, but a plantain tree! Banana trees and plantain trees are different!" After careful identification for a while, Kitahara Araki came to some conclusions in his mind, and told Kasumigaoka Shiwa what he thought, and said seriously.

"Ah?! The fruit on it looks so much like a banana, why isn't it a banana tree?!"

Kasumigaoka Shiwa tried to look at the fruit on this plantain tree, and found that the fruit was really like a banana, but the color of the peel was turquoise, which was completely different from the light yellow of the banana. After hearing Kitahara Araki's words, Kasumigaoka Shiwa was very puzzled by this phenomenon.

"Well, I can't tell the difference between a banana tree and a plantain tree, but I'm pretty sure it's not a banana tree! After all, I've seen the green plantain on it in a short video. It can be used directly, but it needs to be processed."

Kitahara Araki thought about it, he really couldn't directly tell the difference between the two, after all, as a college student in his previous life, he didn't know what a banana tree looks like at all? !

He only knew that bananas were delicious and a little sweet, and he didn't know anything about the rest.

After all, who cares what a fruit tree looks like?

Of course, the main reason is that Kitahara Araki didn't see any banana trees in his hometown at that time, so he couldn't tell the difference between banana trees and plantain trees.

But there is no need to tell Xiazhiqiu Shiyu about this reason.

After hearing Kitahara Araki's explanation, Kasumigaoka Shiwa still had some doubts in her heart, but because of the prestige Kitahara Araki had established in the past two days, she still chose to believe him.

"Let's go, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu-senpai, although the fruit of the banana tree can be eaten after processing, we don't have any tools on hand right now, so let's come back later."

Seeing Kasumigaoka Shiyu who was still reluctant to leave and didn't want to leave, Kitahara Araki had no choice but to persuade him with a smile.

"Okay, Kitahara Araki-kun, but can't we take a little back home?!"

"I just want to know the difference between the banana tree fruit and the banana?!"

The curious Kasumigaoka Shiyu saw that she still couldn't let go of the doubt in her heart when she saw that under the tree, she shook Kitahara Araki's arm, and said in a gentle and coquettish tone.

"Okay, okay, I'll help you get a few banana tree fruits back, and let you taste it after processing, and you'll know why it's not a banana!"

Kitahara Araki, who was defeated by Kasumigaoka Shiyu's swaying and coquettish Dafa, really couldn't stand Kasumigaoka Shiyu's malicious and coquettish tone, No. [-] showed a helpless wry smile on his face, and agreed to Kasumigaoka Shiyu's request.

Then, under the witness of Kasumigaoka Shiwa, Kitahara Araki once again resorted to a long-lost move.

call out!

In the dim forest, a black shadow flashed across.

Immediately afterwards, about five or six pepper tree fruits fell from the top of the ten-meter-high tree in two, and Kitahara Araki, who had been waiting under the tree for a long time, stretched out his hand calmly and caught them one by one. , and put it in his pocket.

Turning around, she smiled at Kasumigaoka Shiyu who was a little stunned, and then said, "Let's go, Kasumigaoka Shiyu-senpai, I already put the banana tree fruit in my pocket, and you can tell the difference between it and a banana when you go back."

"Now the sky is getting darker, and after a while, the sun is probably going to go down completely. Let's take advantage of this time to look for food."

Kitahara Araki's words brought Kasumigaoka Shiwa back to his senses quickly.

The two then left under the banana tree and moved further away.

The dense forest, the twisted, dark environment, the random growth of weeds, and the rugged mountain road all merged into one, forming the situation that Araki of the Northern Plains is currently facing.

After walking for a while, Kitahara Araki's scanning eyes suddenly stopped, his body stopped in place, and he stared straight at a certain place.

"What's wrong? Kitahara Araki-kun." Kasumigaoka Shiyu behind him didn't pay attention to Kitahara Araki in front of him.

Kitahara Araki looked straight at a certain place, where there were a few plants that grew vigorously and looked similar to other weeds. Kitahara Araki felt that those plants were inexplicably familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere, and he stood there for a while, unable to remember.

Hearing the inquiry from Kasumigaoka Shiyu behind him, Kitahara Araki showed a trace of sleepiness and doubt on his face, shook his head, and said to Kasumigaoka Shiyu behind him: "Sister Kasumigaoka Shiyu, let's go over and have a look, I seem to have found something."

"What?!" Kasumigaoka Shiwa asked curiously while following the footsteps of Kitahara Araki towards the open space ahead.

Kitahara Araki is still in the state of thinking in his mind, and has some ideas about the plants growing in the open space, but he still dare not draw a definite conclusion easily, so he can only say: "I don't know, I'm not completely sure whether he is the kind of plant I imagined, let's go and have a look first."

"Okay." Seeing that Kitahara Araki had said so, Kasumigaoka Shiyu had no choice but to let go of the doubts in his heart, and followed his footsteps to the open space.

On a sunny hillside, at this moment, the environment is a little dark, and the surrounding trees stand tall, like dark warriors standing tall.

The weeds on the hillside are generally low, and there are clumps of shrubs underneath, with a few relatively ordinary plants growing on them, everything is so ordinary, there is nothing special about it.

After arriving at this place, Kasumigaoka Shiwa looked around curiously, but found nothing unusual, so she could only follow the figure of Kitahara Araki with her eyes.

Kitahara Araki ignored the curious Kasumigaoka Shiwa, carefully walked up to some ordinary plants, then squatted down gently, thought for a while, and then hesitantly pulled up one of the plants.

Whoa!

Some crisp sounds of plants breaking came.

Kitahara Araki held a plant in his hand and pulled it out of the soil vigorously. The broken roots made a dull sound in the soil.

"Eh?!" Kasumigaoka Shiyu quietly watched Kitahara Araki's behavior, and suddenly let out a faint exclamation.

"Hahaha!"

"As expected, I guessed correctly, this should be cassava!" Kitahara Araki looked at the roots that were pulled out following the green plants, carrying a few lumpy fruits, with a happy smile on his face.

"North Plains Araki-kun, what are you talking about cassava?!" Kasumigaoka Shiwa curiously looked at the lumpy fruit pulled out by North Plains Araki, and asked very puzzled.

"Tell me about this cassava. It's a good thing. Our staple food for the next few days will depend on this little thing!" Kitahara Araki raised the cassava in his hand with a smile in his eyes.

Chapter 161, Chapter 181, Processing cassava

desert island.

The setting sun in the distance is about to come to an end completely, and the clouds in the sky are rendering colorful colors, which looks very gorgeous.

In the dense forest that was gradually dimming due to the sky, two figures stood in front of a gentle hillside.

"Kitahara Araki-kun, are you referring to cassava as potatoes?!" Kasumigaoka Shiwa, who was standing next to Kitahara Araki and had no common sense of life, asked curiously.

Kitahara Araki looked up, and the curious Kasumigaoka Shiwa shook the cassava in his hand, with a smug smile on his face, and explained to the curious Kasumigaoka Shiwa: "Wood Department is a starchy plant in nature. It has a very high starch content and can serve as our daily staple food source."

"However, there are many types of cassava that grow wild in nature, which are divided into two types, poisonous and non-toxic. Or most of the cassava is poisonous, and cassava with starch content cannot be eaten directly, and it needs to go through some processes It can only be used after processing, just like the banana tree fruit you saw earlier, Kasumigaoka Shiyu-senpai, the fruits of both have to be processed before they can be eaten, otherwise, eating them directly may cause human poisoning, at least Diarrhea and vomiting, in serious cases, you will be directly sick and cold."

Kitahara Araki stood at the same place and told all the information about cassava growing in nature that he had seen in the short video. Of course, there were naturally some unclear information. Kitahara Araki selectively said a part, But he didn't fully explain it. After all, he is not a professional wilderness survival expert, and of course he can only understand a little information.

"So it is."

"That's amazing, Kitahara Araki-kun, why do you feel like you know everything?!"

Standing next to Kitahara Araki, Kasumigaoka Shiwa looked up at Kitahara Araki, her purple-black pupils shone with a star-like light, staring closely at Kitahara Araki, with deep envy on her delicate face With a smile, he said with an unabashed admiration.

"Hahaha!"

After hearing Kasumigaoka Shiyu's words of praise, Kitahara Araki had a smug and slightly embarrassed smile on his face, and with his free other hand, he stroked his hair embarrassingly, with a helpless wry smile on his face , laughed loudly and said:

"Xiazhiqiu Shiyu-senpai, don't say that, I just watch the videos more often and memorize some messy knowledge."

"Well, in my opinion, Kitahara Araki-kun is really powerful," Kasumigaoka Shiwa shook her head slightly with delicate cheeks, showing a shy smile, raised her head, and looked seriously into Kitahara Araki's eyes.

"Hehe." Kitahara Araki couldn't help showing a slight smile on his face after hearing the words of Kasumigaoka Shiyu beside him, and then bent down again without saying anything.

Except for the cassava plant in his hand, the flat and gentle slope on the hillside seems to be very suitable for the growth of cassava, and there are several cassava plants scattered around it.

Kitahara Araki pulled out the cassava one by one from the soil, and then held all of them in his hands, piles and piles, which looked very full.

"Haha, Kasumigaoka Shiwa-senpai, with so much cassava, it will be enough for us to eat for the next few days." Kitahara Araki held a part of cassava in each hand, and said to Kasumigaoka Shiwa beside him with a smile on his face.

"Okay, the sky has gradually dimmed. Now that we have found cassava that can help food, let's go back along the way we came while the last twilight of the setting sun has not disappeared."

After finishing speaking, Kitahara Araki didn't wait for Kasumigaoka Shiwa beside him to answer, so he looked up. In the distance, the sunset glowed with the last gleam of the sky, and the brilliant clouds set against the colorful splendor. After the sunset bloomed the last ray of brilliance, night was coming.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Kitahara Araki-kun." Although she felt a little pity in her heart, Kasumigaoka Shiyu was still very sensible. He followed Kitahara Araki's advice and walked along the way he came. go back.

The two walked slowly in the dense forest. Although Kitahara Araki was a little anxious and wanted to return to his cave before the sunset completely set, the rugged mountain road was too difficult to walk, and the Weeds growing randomly blocked the road, so he had to allocate some energy to deal with these things.

Soon, Kitahara Araki took Kasumigaoka Shiwa behind him and followed the mark where they sat down when they came, all the way back to the place where they first saw white mushrooms growing on the fallen trees. Kitahara Araki stayed there for a while, turned around and glanced at the place where the white mushrooms were, hesitated for a while, thought about it and still didn't go there, picked off the white mushrooms, and took them back.

After all, they have now picked the starchy plant cassava, and they are not in a hurry to eat other unknown things.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu didn't hold anything in his hand, just grabbed a stick, and slapped it in the surrounding weeds indiscriminately, while following the footsteps of Kitahara Araki, walking back along the direction of the cave, holding the stick Repels, poisonous snakes and mosquitoes that may hide in the bushes.

Looking at Kitahara Araki who was walking ahead and slapping the bushes and grass with a stick, Kasumigaoka Shiwa who was walking behind had a smile on his face, and a faint sense of security surrounded his heart.

Although walking in the darkness of the forest, there were vague sounds coming from a distance, but this terrifying scene could not make Kasumigaoka Shiwa feel a little scared, because there was Kitahara Araki beside her.

After walking for a while, Kitahara Araki and Kasumigaoka Shiwa returned to the small pool following the marks left on the trees.

"Xiazhiqiu Shiyu-senpai, let's go, we will arrive at the cave after a while." At Xiaoshuitan, Kitahara Araki, who was leading the way, slowed down, turned around and said to Xiazhiqiu Shiyu behind him with a smile.

"Yeah." Xiazhiqiu Shiyu also nodded with a smile, and silently followed behind Kitahara Araki.

The last touch of the setting sun in the distance had already set the curtain before Kitahara Araki and Kasumigaoka Shiwa arrived at the cave, and darkness enveloped the forest on the deserted island.

Although the sky was a bit dark, the road on the forest floor could still be seen clearly. Kitahara Araki walked ahead, carefully leading Xiazhiqiu Shiyu back to the cave that belonged to the two of them.

"Huh, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu-senpai, let's go, there is a cave ahead." Looking at the entrance of the cave that was covered by green vines, but faintly revealing a little fire, Kitahara Araki walked in front with a smile on his face, and turned around Said happily to Kasumigaoka Shiyu behind her.

Although Xiazhiqiu Shiyu followed Kitahara Araki and didn't pay too much attention to the scene in front of him, but after hearing Kitahara Araki's shout, he raised his head and looked ahead, and he saw a faint light refracted by the entrance of the cave, emitting a faint light in the dark night.

"Well, Kitahara Araki-kun, let's go." Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu showed a smile on his face, looking at the entrance of the cave that was close at hand, he couldn't help but feel happy.

The two walked through the entrance of the cave together one after the other, and returned to the warm and bright cave.

The burning fire was still emitting bright flames, and the wood inside was still burning. Although most of them had been burned into red charcoal, there was still a small part of wood scattered outside the area of ​​the fire.

Kitahara Araki, who was close to the fire, put the cassava in his hand aside, then looked at the fire, thought for a while, and threw the scattered wood into the fire, and the addition of wood immediately made the burning fire become It is more blazing, adding a touch of warm warmth to the somewhat cold night.

Through the entrance of the cave that was covered by green vines, one could vaguely see some clear light, which sprinkled in the forest, making the whole forest more silent, dark and silent.

"Sister Kasumigaoka Shiwa, come and help." After adding wood and letting the fire burn longer, Kitahara Araki immediately called Kasumigaoka Shiwa to help process the cassava brought back.

Kitahara Araki and Kasumigaoka Shiwa gathered together in front of the cassava on the ground. Kitahara Araki looked at the cassava on the ground and thought about what to do with it, while Kasumigaoka Shiwa looked at the thinking Kitahara Araki without blinking, with a smile on his face.

"There is."

After searching for a long time from the memory in his mind, Kitahara Araki finally vaguely remembered the wild survival video he had brushed from the short video, which probably taught him how to deal with wild cassava. A smile appeared on his face, and he stared closely at the cassava on the ground.

"Sister Kasumigaoka Shiwa, please help me peel off the skin of the cassava first." After Kitahara Araki had an idea, he began to call Kasumigaoka Shiwa beside him to act together and help him remove the skin of the pile of cassava on the ground Peel it all off.

This is the first step in dealing with the toxicity within tapioca starch.

Kitahara Araki squatted to handle the cassava, firmly grasping the root skin of the cassava with his strong arms, and then pulled hard. After trying it, he quickly tore off a part of the cassava skin, exposing the white core of the cassava, which contains The fruity aroma of starch gradually comes out.

After seeing this scene, Kitahara Araki's eyes lit up, and he immediately accelerated the speed of peeling off the cassava.

Not long after, with the joint efforts of the two, more than 20 cassava, large and small, were completely peeled off the outer skin of the cassava, leaving only the white inner core. The white inner core is the starch aggregate of cassava, which is edible.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu silently watched Kitahara Araki's actions. Although she was a little puzzled and wanted to raise it, she knew that this was not the right time, so she could only suppress her inner curiosity and watch silently in her heart.

"Okay, the first step of processing cassava is completed, the next step is to cut the cassava into pieces, and then start to stew it in the pot. After it is completely boiled, it will be left for a while and then cooked again. Probably it will be ready The residual toxicity of the starch inside has been removed.” Looking at the white inner core of the cassava peeled off, Kitahara Araki smiled happily, and processed the wild cassava according to the vague memory left in his mind.

At this time, Kitahara Araki suddenly felt a little grateful that he set off this morning to get back the tools that were originally placed on the beach.

If you want to remove the toxicity in these white cassava, you must cook them. Now, there is a fire burning in the cave of Kitahara Araki, so there is no need to worry about the fire.

But the tool used to stew cassava is a bit troublesome.

Kitahara Araki didn't bring many things back from the beach, except for some common ropes, broken bottles, a small water bottle, and some miscellaneous objects.

Kitahara Araki, who had processed the cassava skin, moved to the place where the sundries were piled up, frowned, and looked at the pair of things in front of him.

I don't think there is anything good, it can be used to stew these cassava...
