I've been fooled by him before, and I won't let go easily again.
Zhan Beihan didn't say anything and started from Meng Wenhao's side. Unfortunately, he didn't hear much.
not so useful.
Zhan Beihan closed his eyes, leaned against the stone and rested his mind, without asking any more questions.
Meng Wenhao also calmed down when he saw this, and concentrated on baking steamed buns.
The aroma of pasta gradually filled the air.
About ten minutes later, Xiao Lingyue came back.
Zhan Beihan opened his eyes and saw a bundle of white things in her arms. It was long and thin, like silk, and looked strange.
"What is this?" the man asked.
"Elm bark." Xiao Lingyue explained calmly, "It's used for eating."
Zhan Beihan: "..."
Meng Wenhao: "..."
The two men were stunned, and Meng Wenhao's eyes widened.
"What's your expression? Are you surprised?" Xiao Lingyue looked at them in confusion.
"You said you were looking for something to eat, is this it?"
Meng Wenhao had a complicated look on his face, with sympathy in his eyes: "Miss Shen, um... although the steamed buns are a little short, we can still eat them in small portions. We can just stay up until dawn, and there is no need to eat trees. Leather..."
This is so pitiful!
He was forced by bandits to mine, and when he had no food to eat all day long, he never thought of chewing tree bark.
Just one night, just get over it.
There’s no need to be so hard on yourself, right?
Zhan Beihan's face became even darker, thinking that this woman did it on purpose: "I don't eat such messy things!"
Xiao Lingyue said: "Who told you this is a mess? Elm bark is really edible."
Zhan Beihan said: "Would you like to eat one and show it to me?"
"Just eat, why don't you trust people?" Xiao Lingyue said angrily, "When there was famine in the past, many victims survived by chewing tree bark, why can't they eat?"
Moreover, she specially selected elm bark.
This tree has the best taste and the most abundant starch content. There is a folk tradition of picking elm leaves to make snacks.
If the conditions are right, if you dig out the roots of the elm tree and grind them with a stone mill, you can squeeze out several kilograms of flour, which will be enough for a long time.
Xiao Lingyue didn't mean to tease Zhan Beihan. Seeing that he didn't believe it, she casually pulled a piece of bark into her mouth and ate it slowly.
"Well, isn't this edible?"
Zhan Beihan: "..."
Meng Wenhao became even more sympathetic: "Miss Shen, there is no need for you to be so cruel to yourself..."
He actually ate the bark!
Even if this kind of thing is not poisonous and can be eaten, it will definitely not taste any better.
Doesn’t it make your throat worse if you eat it?
Xiao Lingyue saw that they didn't believe them, so she simply didn't explain it and just tore off a piece of bark and stuffed it into Meng Wenhao's mouth: "Try it yourself."
"..." Meng Wenhao's face changed drastically, and he opened his mouth to spit it out.
"Don't vomit!" Xiao Lingyue stared at him threateningly.
Meng Wenhao's expression froze and he looked at her pitifully, holding the bark in his mouth either to eat or not.
"This bark is really edible, I won't lie to you! It tastes a little sweet, you will know after a few bites." Xiao Lingyue is just like the big bad wolf coaxing the little white/rabbit, following the instructions. Popular 『』
