The next morning, after breakfast, LV Xiaobu continued to set out with three military vehicles and went to the place where they didn't go yesterday to continue searching. Zhang Xiaoqiang took people to look for food resources by the lake.
They first found a large area of plants growing in the water near the shore. The leaves of those plants are oval and smooth; In the middle and lower parts of petiole, there is a gourd like gas, with a truncated bract at the base. Each plant has 6-12 leaves, and the flower stem is solitary. There are 6-12 flowers in spikes. The petals are 6-lobed, purple blue, with a larger lobe and a bright yellow spot in the center.
This plant was recognized by Zhang Xiaoqiang at a glance. Eichhornia crassipes, also known as water hyacinth, has been planted for many years in some dead ponds in rural areas. This plant has strong regeneration. As long as it keeps growing roots, it will keep growing leaves, and its leaves are also a good feed, which can be used to feed pigs and rabbits.
In addition to being used as animal feed, it can also be eaten by human beings. The gorgeous purple flowers and tender leaves can be eaten directly. It tastes refreshing and has the effect of moistening intestines and defecating. In the famine of the 1950s and 1960s, many people used water hyacinth to tide over the difficult famine.
The flowering period of water hyacinth is from August to October, when it is the most prosperous time. The colorful purple flowers are the best dishes. Zhang Xiaoqiang is not the only one who knows water hyacinth. Those village names all know the use of this thing and begin to collect petals and tender leaves one after another.
During the harvest, the crowd was happy. The motorcade was not short of food. It was also a pleasure for them to have a few mouthfuls of fresh vegetables when they were full of staple food. The motorcade also found a lot of edible oil and all kinds of condiments on the highway. I think these things would not taste too bad after they were made.
Zhang Xiaoqiang has a dispensable attitude towards these harvests. When he was a child, he saw that they were all feeding this stuff to pigs at his grandmother's house. He was a little repellent. Zhang Xiaoqiang asked the crowd to harvest water hyacinth. The team members were on guard around the crowd. He took two puppies, Yang Ke'er and meow meow to the coast to find out if there were any turtles, Yesterday's turtle soup was really good.
After looking for half an hour, Zhang Xiaoqiang was a little discouraged. After all, before the end of the world, wild turtles were not common. At this time, he deliberately searched for them, and it was strange to find them.
Zhang Xiaoqiang is preparing to turn around and gather water hyacinth. Two puppies "swish" into one side of the grass and disappear, "what's the matter?" Zhang Xiaoqiang in the heart a tight, holding the hands of the double headed beast pyramid on the past.
Zhang Xiaoqiang runs fast in the waist deep grass, jumping over some dense bushes from time to time, just like his ancestors thousands of years ago, crossing in the direction of possible prey.
The puppies are not big. Two puppies can't see their trace when they run in the waist deep grass. It doesn't matter. The puppies will bring some grass stems when they run. As the grass stems fall down and spring up, a wave among the green grass is extending to the distance. What Zhang Xiaoqiang has to do is to follow the spray formed by the grass leaves.
When Zhang Xiaoqiang takes Yang Ke'er and meow to the place where the two puppies chirp happily, Zhang Xiaoqiang has some silly eyes, while Yang Ke'er and meow keep retreating. It seems that the thing struggling in the middle of the puppies' paws is a terrible monster.
At the moment, what is struggling between the dog's feet is a huge frog. In fact, Zhang Xiaoqiang is not sure whether it is a frog or not, because he has not seen the black frog all over his body. It was only after Zhang Xiaoqiang had been looking for it for a long time that he did not find the spot on the black skin that he finally determined that this thing about the size of a grapefruit is a frog, Definitely not a lazy toad.
Since it was a frog, Zhang Xiaoqiang would not let it go. He picked up a frog weighing more than three kilograms and walked towards Yang Ke'er and meow. When Yang Ke'er and meow saw that the giant frog was still hopping in Zhang Xiaoqiang's hands, they could not help but scream and turn around. They were afraid that they would jump on them and bite them.
Zhang Xiaoqiang took the frog with two cocky puppies who could lift their tails up to the sky and went back to the pond. Zhang Huai'an, who was urging the women to collect the frog, turned and saw the big frog. His eyes were as bright as yesterday's tortoise·········
Zhang Huai'an ran to the camp with the big frog in his butt. As a senior diner, Zhang Huai'an is more greedy than Zhang Xiaoqiang, otherwise he would not let go of earthworms?
When lunch was ready, Zhang Xiaoqiang was not in a hurry. He was walking around the lake, thinking about whether to take some risks to go fishing in the lake. When he was shaken by a bright thing in the lake, Zhang Xiaoqiang stopped and looked for it carefully with his eyes open.
Today's sun is very good. The golden light is shining on the clear blue lake. The crisp water hyacinth is very eye-friendly in the sun. Except for the heat brought by the sun, everything seems to be very good. The reflection from the corner of Zhang Xiaoqiang's eyes is exactly what the sun shines on the lake.
Slowly, Zhang Xiaoqiang's eyes adapted to the darkness at the bottom of the lake, and he could see something clearly. The water at the edge of the lake was not very deep, and he could vaguely see the mud at the bottom of the lake. In the middle of the mud, things shaped like melon seeds were inserted obliquely on it, some of them opened slightly, revealing a gap in the shell.Zhang Xiaoqiang is very curious. He doesn't know what it is. It's different in size. The big one is the size of a palm fan, and the small one is only one finger long. He can't see and touch it. Zhang Xiaoqiang doesn't dare to go into the water. Although it's half a year since the first rain, who knows if there will be virus in it?
As for whether aquatic organisms have viruses, Zhang Xiaoqiang also thought about it. When he thought that the mutated organisms only mutated after drinking water containing viruses, and the viruses could not continue to survive in the organisms, he reluctantly let go. Was it OK for the tortoise to eat yesterday?
Not being able to get into the water doesn't mean that Zhang Xiaoqiang has no choice. He goes to one side of the bamboo forest and cuts down a green bamboo with the thickness of a wine glass. He knocks off the branches and makes a four meter long bamboo pole.
Zhang Xiaoqiang stood by the lake and carefully put the tip of the bamboo pole into a crevice. As soon as he put it in, it clamped the bamboo pole tightly. Then a burst of mud was disturbed, and the muddy mud completely polluted the water area. Zhang Xiaoqiang could no longer see the specific situation of the water area.
If you can't see it, you can't see it. Zhang Xiaoqiang has already felt the weight of the bamboo pole in his hand. When Zhang Xiaoqiang pulled the ten jin thing ashore, he was amazed. This is a huge clam, which weighs more than ten jin. Two huge clam shells tightly clamp the bamboo pole. On the black green mottled shell, the coils spread like the rings of the old tree.
This giant clam is about the size of a cattail fan. Its shell is of the same shape on the left and right, with mirror symmetry and protruding shell neck. The front end of the shell is round, the back end is slightly truncated, the ventral line is arc-shaped, the dorsal line is straight, and the strangulation part has no teeth. Through the gap of the bamboo pole, we can see that there are ligaments on the outside, and on the edge of the ligaments, the slightly pink muscles are struggling inward.
In southern China, mussels are very common. They live in rivers, lakes, reservoirs and ponds. As long as they are a little older, they can be found in ponds. Some mussels can produce pearls in their bodies. Pearls are useless at present. Their biggest value happens to be their thick fresh meat.
The protein content of mussel itself is not very high, that is, about 10%, but it contains dozens of trace elements needed by human body. At the same time, it also has high medicinal value. It has the functions of nourishing yin and calming liver, improving eyes and preventing eye diseases. It can be regarded as a small treasure house.
Zhang Xiaoqiang played a leading role, and the members of the logistics team also knew how to do it. One bamboo was cut down and one bamboo pole was made. With people's shouting, one giant clam was lifted out of the water. The happy crowd knew that today's lunch must be very rich
