Xu Ning threw a sack of water celery into the space, then took the sack and cut a whole sack before stopping.

After she had enjoyed cutting celery, she started walking towards an area where amaranth grew densely.

The amaranth should not have been eaten by those animals, as there were many elders. Fortunately, this was the time to eat amaranth, and Xu Ning picked and chose and filled a sack.

Further ahead, it should be a place where animals have rested. There is a lot of feces left behind, and the horsetails are numerous and thick.

Smelling the unique smell in the air, Xu Ning should have frowned, but he remembered the sour taste of purslane and couldn't help swallowing.

Purslane is a good thing. It not only has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, but it is also delicious whether boiled, fried, or made into soup, and it goes well with rice.

Xu Ning looked at his hands and feet, and decisively changed into rubber shoes and rubber gloves. He put away the sack, put on a mask, and changed into a large plastic bucket.

Afterwards, Xu Ning stepped on the soft soil. She held the tail of the purslane with one hand wearing a rubber glove and cut it off at the root with a sickle in the other hand.

The purslane was growing really well. Xu Ning cut seven or eight stalks and could hardly hold them all with one hand!

Xu Ning threw the cut crops into the bucket and bent down to continue cutting until the bucket was full. Xu Ning stood up with his wrists supporting his waist, only to find that the sun had slipped from the top of the mountain, leaving only a little glowing tail.

There was no gorgeous sunset today and there were few clouds. It looked like it would be dark soon. Xu Ning stopped picking the fruits and walked towards the stream carrying a heavy bucket of purslane.

Xu Ning did not take off his gloves, but continued to wear them to wash the surface of the gloves, the sickle and the rubber shoes. He threw the sickle back into the space and continued to wash the purslane with the gloves on.

Purslane is easy to clean. Just grab a handful and rinse it under fast-flowing water, and the dirt on the surface will be washed away.

Xu Ning didn't cut those with feces on their surfaces, no matter how good they looked. She only picked the cleaner ones.

Soon, a large bucket of purslane was washed. Xu Ning rinsed the bucket and planned to fill it with water and put it back into the space.

The bucket was quite deep, so Xu Ning walked forward. There was a small step in front of her where she could directly catch the running water from above, so she didn't have to use anything to scoop it out.

Xu Ning put the bucket away, stood up and looked around. She discovered shepherd's purse growing on a small hillock, but it looked very old and one had to pinch the core in the middle to eat it.

It was already getting dark and Xu Ning was too lazy to do anything else.

The bucket was full, and Xu Ning put the bucket of water directly into the space. He was about to return to the RV when he suddenly felt something crawling on his rubber shoes.

It was dark on the ground and a black shadow could be vaguely seen. Xu Ning immediately took out a flashlight, which had a strong light. As soon as Xu Ning turned it on, she could see clearly what was stepping on her foot.

It is a large mountain crab.

The light from Xu Ning's flashlight scared it, and it was now holding up two big pincers to welcome Xu Ning.

"Hey, little thing, you walk really sideways."

Xu Ning took a branch out of the water and poked it. It immediately clamped it with its two pincers, and Xu Ning easily hung it in the air.

"If you don't let go, it will fall to its death." Xu Ning shook the crab, but it remained motionless.

"Very good, you have successfully caught my attention, so come with me, you have a place in tonight's midnight snack."

Xu Ning held the branch and walked towards the RV without caring whether it would fall or not.

Back in the RV, Xu Ning folded the sides of the branch that the crab's claws were holding, threw it into the sink and left it there.

Xu Ning was hungry, so she cooked the rice first, took out a handful of water celery, washed it and cut it into sections, and then took out a handful of purslane.

Tonight she plans to eat scrambled celery, wild duck eggs and purslane.

If you want to eat, just do it. She took out two wild duck eggs and cracked them into the bowl. She threw the eggshells into the sink. In addition to a crab, there were also water celery leaves that Xu Ning had picked and didn't want.

Xu Ning turned on the range hood first, then the induction cooker. After putting the pot on, he turned on the highest heat. Soon it was hot enough, so he poured the oil in.

Add egg liquid into the hot oil and fry until both sides are browned, then put aside. Use the remaining oil in the pan to stir-fry the water celery. When the water celery is almost done, pour the fried wild duck eggs back into the pan. Finally, season and stir twice and you're done!

Xu Ning scooped up a piece of fried egg with a spatula and took a bite. She was immediately intoxicated by the fragrance. Then she ate two stalks of water celery. They were crisp and refreshing. Xu Ning was very satisfied.

The purslane was fried in less than two minutes. Xu Ning brushed the pot and the rice was ready at this time.

Xu Ning opened the lid of the rice cooker to let the steam out, then placed the two cooked dishes on the table.

"It's a bit hot." Xu Ning opened the window, and immediately a cool breeze blew in, dissipating the heat.

The pot was still very hot. Xu Ning took out a pair of chopsticks, stretched them to both sides of the top of the pot, picked up the pot with balance, and quickly placed it on the dining table.

"Huh~ Another day without having to wash dishes!" Although Xu Ning didn't have to wash them, she felt that she could put one less bowl in the dishwasher, which would save her effort.

"Player, you are really too lazy."

"Who said that! I cook for myself! Apart from rice, which dish is not made by me with great effort? I'm lazy? That's really unreasonable!"

Xu Ning was refuting in his mind, but he kept eating mouthfuls of rice and vegetables, and he ate with great satisfaction.

Seeing that Baibaoxiang said something to her and then kept silent, she didn't care. Who cares? What mattered was that she had a full stomach.

It was completely dark outside when Xu Ning was cooking. After finishing his meal, Xu Ning threw the dishes into the dishwasher, then got out of the RV carrying a bucket and a flashlight.

The valley was extremely lively at this time. Xu Ning shone the flashlight and saw several pairs of red and green eyes.

Xu Ning ignored them. Firstly, they were far away, and secondly, they were scared away by the flashlight.

The creek was also very lively. As soon as Xu Ning's rubber shoes entered the water, they scared away several toads.

There are quite a lot of toads here. I didn't see any during the day, but now they come out at night. Xu Ning can see a few every few steps he takes. They are quite big, and look like they weigh half a pound each.

"I kind of want to eat it." But Xu Ning didn't dare to kill it, otherwise it would be delicious if fried with wild onions.

"Bao, is there a function that helps kill toads?"

"Sorry players, no."

"Pity."

"..."

Xu Ning could only take out the pliers she used to catch seafood at the beach and tease the toad in front of her that was not afraid of her.

The toad thought she was going to do something and jumped away.

Seeing this, Xu Ning pursed his lips and started turning over the stones.

If toads can’t eat it, crabs can.

Xu Ning turned over two rocks and found a mountain crab. It was smaller than the one in the RV and looked like it had a lot of meat, so Xu Ning immediately put it away.

After a while, Xu Ning's bucket was filled with seven or eight crabs, weighing almost three pounds.

Xu Ning stopped and felt it. She was still full and could digest it a little more.

She planned to wrap these mountain crabs in flour and fry them. It would take a long time to walk through the desert in the northwest, and she would have to get food from the space. So she might as well catch more. These crabs are easy to catch and not too difficult to handle.

Although her points are not deducted for anything she gets from the treasure box now, she still won’t redeem anything she can get from the treasure box on her own.

Besides, catching crabs is a kind of fun in itself. Otherwise, she would just be eating up space along the way. What's the point?

As Xu Ning was thinking, he lowered his head and continued to turn over the stones, and then he saw a spicy strip swimming in front of him.
