When Bai Qingqing saw that Curtis was silent, she quickly walked away and squatted next to the broken bamboo to cut the bamboo tube.
Only two-thirds of the scales have sharp edges, and the other third is connected to a little white flesh. It is not easy to hurt your hands when you hold the skin and flesh. But Bai Qingqing tried her best not to touch that side. The wet flesh made her feel physiologically uncomfortable.
Bai Qingqing was weak, and even though the snake scales were extremely sharp, it took her more than ten minutes to cut out two bamboo tubes. One for cooking and one for drinking water.
She was dying of thirst along the way.
"Is there a water source? Rice can't be cooked without water." Bai Qingqing stood up with a bamboo tube. When she turned around, she saw that Curtis was covered with bamboo tubes. The bamboo tubes were tied into strings with vines on the ground. They were thick and thick. Thirty or forty.
The corners of Bai Qingqing's mouth twitched, and she said in a confused voice: "What are you going to do?" Open a bamboo restaurant
Curtis said: "This plant is not common. Bring more of it back and use it slowly."
Slowly using the word... made Bai Qingqing feel depressed, curled her lips and said, "Let's go, that's enough."
"good."
Curtis has been wandering in the jungle all year round and loves water by nature. Finding water is a matter of minutes, and soon the two of them started a fire by the river.
Bai Qingqing used snake scales to make a small hole at one end of the bamboo tube, and slowly stuffed the washed rice into it. It felt like it was seventy percent full, then filled it with water, and wrapped the entire bamboo tube with reed leaves from the river. Get up and bake on the fire.
Soon the fragrance of rice dumpling leaves escaped from the bamboo tube, and Bai Qingqing discovered that the reed leaves turned out to be rice dumpling leaves.
This kind of reed is quite common. You can use it to make rice dumplings in the future. If you don’t have glutinous rice, just make rice dumplings.
Curtis soaked in the water boredly and stared at Bai Qingqing in a daze. Just looking at her was interesting.
In the past, he was so used to being alone that he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but now he feels that his previous life was terribly lonely.
Be sure to hold her tightly!
Bai Qingqing smelled the aroma of rice and came out. It took about the same time as the rice cooker to cook, so she used a stick to clamp down the bamboo tube.
"The rice is ready, come and eat." Bai Qingqing habitually asked people to share. When she looked up and saw Curtis's face, the expression on his face that was filled with smiles because of success turned cold.
It was hard to take back her words, so Bai Qingqing poked the hot bamboo tube on the ground uninterestedly.
Curtis finally swam up, with his snake-shaped lower body soaked in the water, and his human-shaped upper body lying on the shore, looking at Bai Qingqing's food.
The reed leaves on the bamboo tube were all burnt. When Bai Qingqing poked them, they fell down with a "swish", revealing half of the bamboo tube that was burnt black. There were also a few thin cracks at the bottom. It didn't look like it. Edible.
Bai Qingqing cut the bamboo tube sullenly, gasping for air from the burn, and her cold pale hand grabbed her wrist.
"I'll do it." Curtis said, enduring the scorching heat and cutting open the bamboo tube.
The aroma of rice suddenly spread in the air, and the fragrance was overwhelming.
"Wow! It smells so good!" Bai Qingqing's eyes lit up with surprise, and she squinted in enjoyment: "I have never smelled such delicious rice."
This was just rice that had simply shed its hulls, and many of them were still green in color. When cooked, it was much more fragrant than the polished rice she had eaten that had been processed many times.
Bai Qingqing picked up a pair of clean branches that she had prepared earlier, poked a piece of rice into her mouth, and refused to stop even though she was so hot that she exhaled, whimpering: "Well! I haven't eaten in a long time. tasty!"
Curtis dipped his scalded fingers in the water and looked at Bai Qingqing with a smile: "As long as you like it."
