Chapter 302: The fragrance of locust trees
This time, Sang Tian had to follow the Tianlang army to a farther and wider place, a place she had never been to before.
The main purpose is to find food, preferably something that is filling. For example, sweet potatoes, potatoes, cassava, kudzu root, etc.
Of course, there’s more to it than just looking for food.
Sang Tian also wants to find some special mineral materials.
The most important thing is to make weapons.
After all, the piercing and destructive power of bamboo arrows are still too small.
In addition, only a few dozen people in the tribe had the daggers and long swords provided by Sang Tian.
The weapons are not strong enough.
In addition to safety, there are also life aspects.
For example, saltpeter cools down when it comes into contact with water, which makes it much easier in the summer.
……
Sang Tian's original plan was to go to the seaside, which was nearly twenty days away from Tianlang, with her tribesmen after the trade fair.
Salt production must be put on the agenda.
In addition, the supplies at the seaside are so abundant that the harvest from a trip there will surely surprise the tribe members.
Of course, Sang Tian also had a selfish motive, which was that he was really craving the taste of seafood...
But this transaction went wrong.
The number of Tianlang suddenly increased by several hundred, so it is definitely impossible to go.
After busy recovering the seven tribes, he rushed back to arrange many matters.
For example, changing defenses, arranging accommodation, distributing supplies, infrastructure construction, etc.
It seems that going to the beach will have to be postponed.
However, fortune and misfortune have always been interdependent.
Although he couldn't go to the beach, Sang Tian could explore a wide area this time, so he would definitely be able to find more food!
……
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the two teams parted ways.
The first stop is the Black Soil Tribe, which is two days away from the Matsutake Tribe.
The Black Soil Tribe is a medium-sized tribe with only about eighty people.
Now that they were free of the heavy cargo, they felt a hundred or eighty times more relaxed, and they were walking very quickly.
When dark came, it was only two or three hours away from the Black Soil Tribe.
As night fell, everyone stopped to rest, spread animal skins on the carts, and slept on them at night.
The males took the initiative to take over the task of making dinner, and Sang Tian also helped out.
You know what, the dishes they cook are quite good.
A dish of stir-fried lettuce with mu shu pork, the bamboo shoots are refreshing, crisp and sweet, and the color is green and juicy, one bite will make you feel so relieved; the meat slices are firm and chewy, smooth and delicious, and paired with crispy wood ear mushrooms, it is a real treat.
A dish of stir-fried beef tripe with green onions is even more delicious. The rich and sweet aroma of green onions is mixed with the unique and chewy beef tripe that makes you drool. The beef tripe is cut differently, but they are all large. One mouthful is full of delicious flavor!
Sang Tian was more interested in the chicken stewed with mushrooms.
The chicken is stewed to a tender, boneless consistency. The flavor of the juicy, tender chicken instantly fills your mouth. The various mushrooms offer a plethora of flavors, but the shiitake mushrooms are undoubtedly the most classic, tender and delicate, fresh and sweet.
Twenty or so honey-glazed roast ducks were roasting on the bonfire, their bodies sizzling with golden luster. A light coating of cane sugar and kiwi juice dripped onto them was added. The aroma of meat mixed with the aroma of cane sugar and jam filled Sang Tian's nose, making him feel a little hungry.
The pumpkin and shrimp ball soup is even more delicious. The peeled pumpkin is stewed until it is soft and sweet. The shrimp meat is simply chopped and mixed with yam powder. Every bite is full of the tenderness of the shrimp meat and the fragrance of the yam.
Sang Tian ate a lot of food and had a full stomach.
He put down his chopsticks with a feeling of being unsatisfied.
Ping An and Xi Le, the two chubby and furry dogs, were still sitting on their food bowls, taking hearty bites.
These two tigers now have unusually large appetites. Sometimes, even when they're already full, they still tuck into their food. Actually, they can't stand the aroma of Tianlang's cooking...
Every time Sang Tian ate them, he felt that he would vomit them out if he took a few more steps.
But it doesn’t matter, Tianlang can afford it anyway.
And they are growing really fast now. Sang Tian, the old mother, is also very pleased to see them.
……
The night is as dark as ink, and the evening breeze blows.
The light and elegant fragrance of locust flowers wafts through the forest, and clusters of plump and round locust flowers hang on the branches, like crystal clear jewel curtains hanging on a jade wall, stretching out their jewels in the moonlight.
The pure white locust flowers, as clean as snow, sway and spin in the wind, emitting their sweet and condensed fragrance as they move.
As light and moving as the wind chimes in the corridor.
Sang Tian and Cang walked hand in hand in the locust tree forest to help digest their food.
The two of them chatted one after another.
"Cang, do the locust flowers look good? Do they smell good?"
"nice."
"Then we'll eat it tomorrow!"
"……it is good."
The evening breeze in the woods was chilly, so Cang took off his khaki felt jacket and put it on Sang.
The cute little head, as round as a little rabbit, was tightly surrounded by the felt, with only half of the head exposed.
Cang couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
So cute and beautiful.
Compared to her usual appearance, Sang looked very cute and well-behaved tonight. Cang couldn't help but want to reach out and rub her little head.
The wind was light, but it made the clusters of locust flowers on the treetops rustle.
Cang only felt the fragrance of flowers lingering around the little man standing shoulder to shoulder with him, his hair faintly draped over Cang's shoulders. The hair was like a thread of love, tightly wrapped around the hearts of the two people...
When the wind blows, my heart follows the swaying of my hair to pursue the fragrance.
Finally, Cang's hot thin lips fell on Sang's slightly cold forehead.
The perfect couple both showed sweet and touching smiles.
Cang used his broad and majestic chest to embrace his lover who was as gentle as the breeze.
……
Early the next morning,
Everyone simply ate some roasted corn and roasted taro.
So we continued on our way.
In just two or three hours' journey, Sang Tian found a kind of food.
broad bean.
I saw those green figures in a wide patch of grass not far away.
The broad bean plant is not tall, with oval, emerald green leaves that face each other, like the delicately symmetrical wings of a butterfly. A gentle breeze rustles the leaves, and the slender, yet plump, pods hang from the branches.
Sang Tian rushed over, peeled it open impatiently, put it in his mouth and took a light bite. The hint of sweetness and fresh taste instantly blossomed on his taste buds.
Not bad, just right!
There are many ways to eat broad beans.
The most common dish is stir-fried broad beans, which will turn into a bright green and oily dish. Sprinkle them with an appropriate amount of salt and minced garlic to bring out their most essential fragrance.
However, Sang Tian’s favorite way to eat it is to stir-fry it with bacon and the like.
Besides this, it can also be steamed into broad bean rice. Unfortunately, Sang Tian has not yet found any trace of rice or wheat...
Rich in nutrients like protein, broad beans provide essential energy. They are also highly adaptable and not very demanding on soil or climate. They are also very easy to grow.
The tribesmen quickly came over to help Sang Tian pick the broad beans, and they also followed Sang Tian's example to peel them and eat them raw.
Well, not bad, refreshing, tender and sweet.
The field was so huge that hundreds of tribesmen spent an entire hour picking the fruits, and several huge animal-skin bags were filled to the brim.
So cool!
Everyone then continued on their journey slowly, peeling broad beans as they walked.
