"It really is a wild fruit!"
Under Heidi's excited shouts, Fang Chen looked in the direction of the voice.
Fruits that looked like they had long rotted hung on the trees. Some of them had already split open from the middle, looking like the open mouth of a man-eating flower.
Seeing the wild fruit, Fang Chen rushed over impatiently.
"Fang Chen, do you know what this is?”
Heidi pointed at the fruit on the tree and asked with a smug smile.
She was experienced in surviving in the wild and had seen a lot. However, Fang Chen was different. Perhaps he had experience in construction, but when it came to these things...
"I know."
"August melon, commonly known as wild banana.”
"Hmph…you actually know."
"Haha."
Fang Chen laughed loudly. He took out the fruit from the cracked wild banana and put it in his mouth to bite it bit by bit. The taste was…extremely sweet!
The so-called August melons were also called wild bananas.
As the name suggested, this was a fruit that could ripen in August. There were dozens of vines on a string, and some of them were as big as half a catty!
A fully ripe August melon would automatically split open, revealing the fruit inside, which was what Fang Chen and the others were seeing now.
"Tsk tsk, it still tastes like when I was young…"
Fang Chen said nostalgically.
When he was young, he grew up in the countryside and often ran around the mountains with the children in the village. He was also lucky enough to eat wild bananas.
After so many years, Fang Chen could not help but miss this familiar taste…
After all, these wild bananas were really precious. Back then, even if one had money, they could not buy them!
"There are so many wild bananas. Let's pick them back. It's enough for us to eat for a long time.”
"Mm, let's pick half. We can't eat too much. It's a waste. It's better to leave it here. If you want to eat it in two days, you can come back and pick it.”
"Alright…I'll listen to you."
Heidi's peerlessly beautiful face carried a smile. She was like a little girl plucking tea leaves as she plucked the wild bananas and placed them into the bamboo basket.
"Eh…this is good stuff.”
At this moment, Fang Chen's voice came from the side.
Heidi turned around and saw Fang Chen standing in front of a small tree.
"Laurel tree!"
"That's right."
Fang Chen smiled as he plucked a leaf from the tree. He placed it by his nose and sniffed it gently. He nodded in satisfaction.
The leaves of the laurel tree, also known as fragrant leaves, were one of the condiments used in cooking.
"If only I had found this laurel tree two days earlier.”
Fang Chen and the others had been eating roasted meat for the past two days, but there were basically no seasonings. It was all the pure fragrance of wild boar meat.
However, if he could add the fragrance to the meat when he was roasting it, the taste would be perfect…
Of course, other than roasted meat, stewing, soup, pickles, tea…anything was fine!
Heidi, give me the knife."
"What are you doing?"
"Of course it's a transplant!"
Fang Chen chuckled." It's such a good thing. It'd be a pity to leave it in the wilderness. It's better to leave it at our doorstep!"”
"You're so bad!"
Heidi pouted and giggled.”
The audience was speechless.
Thus, Fang Chen uprooted the laurel tree…
Carrying the laurel tree and Heidi carrying the bamboo basket on her back, the two of them continued walking forward.
"Fang Chen, Fang Chen, come and see, there's fennel here!”
"Oh? It really is!"
Fang Chen's eyes lit up.
Fennel was a good thing. Not only could it be used as a seasoning, but it could also promote the secretion of digestive juice and increase the movement of the stomach. It had the effect of strengthening the stomach and circulating qi.
Fang Chen naturally could not let go of such a good thing!
Just like that…
As the two of them walked forward, they kept looking for useful plants.
In the wild, especially on a deserted island like this, there were always a lot of wild plants. And these…were all surprises for Fang Chen and the others!
On this trip, whether it was fennel, fragrant leaves, star anise, tsaoko, or Cassia bark…Fang Chen and the others had found all of them!
Even the bamboo basket on Heidi's back could not hold it anymore!
"What a pity. If only you had a bamboo basket.”Heidi pouted.
There were obviously other edible plants not far away from them, but unfortunately…
Whether it was the bamboo basket or their hands, they were already full of things. If they had more, they would have to go down the mountain like monkeys to pick up the sesame seeds!
"Let's go back first. We'll come back when we have time. These things can't run away anyway!”
"Yes, yes."
After busying themselves for half a day, the two of them walked into the camp with satisfaction.
Half a day had passed since they came out. The sun was already high above their heads…
When they returned to the camp, it was about two or three o'clock in the afternoon.
After returning to the camp, Heidi went to cook.
Fang Chen was in charge of sorting out today's harvest…
Especially the laurel tree!
In order to preserve it, Fang Chen tried his best to transplant it, afraid that it would die...
After Fang Chen was done, Heidi also called for dinner.
"Hmm? Today's roast meat seemed a little different…It was quite fragrant!”
Fang Chen said with a smile.
"Haha…you already know!"
Heidi smiled and took a bite, her pretty face filled with happiness.
After adding the fragrant leaves, the roasted meat was obviously even more delicious!
If there were cumin and chili noodles…Tsk tsk, the taste would be simply too good!
"Fang Chen, what are we doing this afternoon? Do you still want to go out?"
Heidi asked as she ate.
"I won't go out for the time being. I have something to do in the afternoon.”
Fang Chen said in a low voice.
Ever since he had the knowledge of mortise and tenon structures, his hands were itching to make something.
"What are you doing?"
"Let me think…"
"I got it!"
Fang Chen swallowed the last mouthful of roasted meat and charged into the forest with his camping knife.
"Chop wood? Do you still want to build a house?"
Heidi's eyes flickered with doubt.
"No!"
Fang Chen's lips curled up." This time…we're building cars!"”
