Chapter 23 Yam?
The quiet forests have become what they were like again. If it weren't for the slightly tilted tree and the blood on the ground, it would be hard to find that there had been a thrilling battle here just now.
Lehman lay under the tree, watching Nord and Reed swaying in front of him motionlessly. The scene just now made him a little exhausted. He could not compare with these two young people now. As long as he didn't leave too far, Lehman would not stop them.
Nord was curious about the mountains and forests, such as what was the wild boar dug underground just now, so Nord took a wooden stick and pounded it around the place where the wild boar was digging.
Reed was puzzled when he saw Nord's movements. What was he doing on the ground with a wooden stick, so he ran to Nord curiously to find out.
"Reed, do you know what the boar was eating just now?"
"I don't know, Lord Nord, this is the first time I have seen a wild boar, and it's still so big, so it scared me from such a distance."
Nord was also a little shocked about the scene just now. No wonder the old saying goes, one pig, two bears, and three tigers. It turns out that wild boars are really so dangerous.
While Nord was talking, the wooden stick in his hand seemed to poke something. Nord moved his heart and found it. He used the stick to pick up the soil on it, revealing the things underground.
It is black, some oval, some are oblong, and some are oblong, with a layer of soil covering the outside, so it is impossible to see what it originally looked like.
Nord whispered to Reid and asked, "Do you know what this is?"
"I have never seen it. I have picked wild fruits from the trees before and didn't dig things from the ground! Maybe only wild boars can eat this thing, so I won't eat it! Let's ask Old Moore, he must know."
As he said that, Reid looked disgusted and wiped off the soil on the surface, revealing its original color, a little yellowish-brown, and some tiny roots on it. Nord looked more and more familiar. Isn't this a potato? It looks a bit like a sweet potato.
With the questions and surprises in his heart, Nord and the others came to Old Moore. Old Moore glanced at him and spoke.
"This thing is called mountain lumps, which is poisonous. Only wild boars eat it. Some people used to eat it when they were hungry, but soon they vomited and had diarrhea, and then no one ate it."
Poisonous? Nord frowned. Logically speaking, it would not be possible. Could it be that it is actually different from the original world? But wild boars can also be eaten, and vomiting and diarrhea are not a sign of poisoning, but rather it seems to be improper consumption. Nord suddenly realized in his heart, so he asked Lao Moore.
"How do you eat?"
"How else can you eat it? Clean it up and eat it directly. This is how the fruits in the forest are eaten unless they are poisonous."
Nord gave these people a thumbs up in his heart. He would never cook them before eating them. He didn't eat such a baby, and there were a group of people outside who were hungry. Nord didn't know what to say. Isn't it ridiculous? Or was it a pity?
Nord planned to give it a try, so he asked Reed to find some more lumps, and picked up some firewood to make a fire to roast them.
When Old Moore saw their actions, he opened his mouth but said nothing. Maybe he thought it was futile and let them both do anything.
I cleaned up the surrounding area, dug a pit on the ground, and finally lit a flame in the pit. I spent so much effort just to fear the fire in the forest. After all, there was a fire on the mountain, and the director fell in love with me...
The Yameng Mountains are thousands of miles away and the mountains and forests are everywhere. If the consequences of the fire are unimaginable, it is better to be careful and be a civilized person.
He skillfully placed the lumps around the flames, and the soil on the surface was not cleaned up. Nord knew that it didn't matter. After roasting, the soil would fall off automatically and would not affect consumption.
Looking at the situation in front of him, Nord remembered that when he was a child in his previous life, a group of friends went to steal sweet potatoes from unknown families in the village, and it might even be among us. It doesn’t matter. The important thing is the process of roasting sweet potatoes. If you can play for one afternoon at a time, you will be beaten up after being discovered by adults. It’s not because of sweet potatoes, but because of the children playing with fire, but everyone is still happy. The happiness of childhood is that simple.
Just as Nord recalled the past, the lumps were gradually roasted. Reed followed Nord's instructions and slowly turned them over slowly to prevent the batter.
Just as Reed turned over, the roasted mountain bumps emitted an attractive fragrance. Reed swallowed, looked at Nord, who was still in a daze, suppressed his appetite and continued his work.
Lehman and others who were resting aside also smelled the fragrance. They stood up and found that the source of the fragrance was Nord. They were a little stunned on their faces, but their feet couldn't help but walk towards Nord and the others.
When Nord came to his senses, he saw such a scene, four or five people gathered by the flames, staring at the food in front of him. Nord felt a little funny. This scene was very similar to those of the friends in his previous life.
I looked at the lumps in front of me. The outer skin was roasted with flames and some of them had even become charred. It should be because the turnover was too slow, but it did not affect the consumption. I reached out to signal everyone to eat it.
Everyone stared at each other. Although they smelled the fragrance, they were hesitant when they were eating. After all, they had never eaten this kind of thing again.
Reed swallowed and asked Nord carefully, with suspicion in his eyes, and a hint of hope to get Nord's affirmation.
"Mr. Nord, can this really be eaten? This thing is eaten by wild boars and is poisonous. Can we eat it?"
Nord didn't answer, and directly reached out to grab a mountain lump. It was a bit hot. He carefully opened it apart, and a stronger fragrance suddenly came to his face. Reed and another hunter no longer hesitated, and took the mountain lump and started eating.
"It smells so good!"
Reed muttered something, not caring about the heat of the lumps, and hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth. He couldn't help but exclaim after eating.
Lehman and Old Moore looked at each other. The food in front of him was indeed fragrant, but they were not sure that they could really eat it. Although vomiting and diarrhea are not fatal, they can also lose their combat effectiveness. As an experienced hunter, Lehman and Old Moore would not make such a mistake, although they are really fragrant.
Lehman and Old Moore suppressed their appetite and observed whether Nord and others had any adverse reactions so that they could rescue them in time.
Reed and the others were a little unscrupulous, eating mountain bumps in big mouthfuls, without any sign of poisoning. Reed also asked Nord.
"Sir Nord, how do you know that mountain gout can be eaten? Mountain gout can be eaten too!"
"This is very similar to a kind of food in my hometown, and it is not called Shanklu."
"Not called Shanklu? What is that called?"
Nord ate another bite of the food in front of him, which tasted like sweet potatoes and potatoes. Generally speaking, it is a combination of two foods, and the taste and taste will be more delicious, so its name is.
"Just call it yam, this is the spiritual medicine given to you by the mountains."
