Traveling through ancient times: Savages are hungry for food

Along the way, I was a little tired.

But when it came to mealtime, Sang Tian would cook a variety of delicious dishes for everyone. From main courses to desserts to milk tea and drinks, there was literally everything you could ask for.

These hundreds of people were completely impressed by Sang Tian's craftsmanship.

I am most active when I eat every day.

While helping Sang, I also learned a lot of Tianlang's cooking skills.

Each one is breathtaking.

Life is still good.

Until everyone had walked half the distance.

In the afternoon, we passed by a forest filled with moisture.

Everyone found an open space to set up camp.

Feng and Xu said that based on their many years of experience, there must be a large pond or something nearby.

Sang Tian wanted to look for it, so she simply wiped her body and washed her hair.

Otherwise, I would become smelly before I even get back to Tianlang.

So Sang Tian took the two saber-toothed tigers and walked in the direction Feng said.

After passing through a short birch forest.

It really is a pond!

But what meets the eye is a vast expanse of emerald green...

All I saw in the pond were tall and straight lotus leaves standing tall!

This is a lotus pond!

It's just that it's not the flowering season yet, so there are no lotus flowers in the lotus pond.

The lotus leaves are stacked like a cover, and the rippling green waves look fresh and pleasant. The lotus leaves are dotted with crystal water droplets, like pearls inlaid on emeralds.

Sang Tian's eyes lit up more than one degree!

Since it is a lotus pond, it means that there are lotus roots under the entire mud!

Sang Tian even felt that he could smell the fragrance of lotus root.

Pan-fried lotus root, cold lotus root, lotus root boxes, sweet and sour lotus root slices, stir-fried lotus root slices, stir-fried lotus root shreds, steamed lotus root with pork and lotus root pork ribs soup.

Tears of shame flowed from the corners of his mouth.

Moreover, there is more than just lotus roots to eat in this entire lotus pond!

Let’s talk about the lotus itself first.

Like lotus seeds, it is rich in protein, multiple vitamins and minerals, and is nutritious. Fresh lotus seeds taste sweet and crisp.

The dried lotus seeds are commonly eaten in soups and porridges, such as lotus seed and lily porridge, white fungus and lotus seed soup, etc. They are not only delicious, but also have the effects of nourishing the heart and calming the mind, benefiting the kidneys and astringing the essence.

Lotus seed pods also have certain medicinal value, and have the effects of removing blood stasis, stopping bleeding, and removing dampness.

Collect them, dry them and boil them in water to drink, and you will also get a refreshing fragrance.

Lotus leaves are even more authoritative.

You can use it to make lotus leaf chicken in the future!

And lotus leaf rice is even more delicious! It’s a pity that there is no glutinous rice… In addition, lotus leaves can be used to make tea, which can clear away heat and relieve summer heat, reduce fat and help lose weight.

Lotus flowers can be made into lotus porridge, or they can be coated with batter and fried to make lotus crisps, which have a crispy texture.

Lotus stems are also edible! They are usually used in stir-fries. They have a crisp and tender taste and are effective in clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, as well as promoting ventilation and urination.

The whole body is full of treasures!

Let’s talk about this pond.

Water chestnuts, water shield, and water caltrops all grow.

And there must be a lot of fish in this pond! At least there are a lot of loaches!

Moreover, this lotus pond is very large, and you can touch the lotus flowers during the Lesser Heat season!

With such a large area, how many lotus roots need to be dug out!

Sang Tian was so happy.

Sang Tian immediately asked Xile to call Cang and others over!

After a while, several people followed Xile.

Sang Tian immediately introduced to them the edible things in the lotus pond.

"What mulberry? You mean? Almost everything grown in this lotus pond is edible?

There is a lotus pond even larger than this one on the mountain where our tribe’s coming-of-age ceremony was held!

How much we have wasted!"

"It's okay to eat everything above, but who would have thought there's something edible in the water..."

……

After complaining for a while, a few people immediately started touching the loaches.

Sang Tian took a piece of wood and tried it.

The water level was a bit high, and the mud underneath was quite thick, so we didn't dare let them go into the water.

I could only squat on the ground and touch it.

When the lotus roots are ripe, you can weave a bamboo raft and paddle them in.

Sang Tian cut a large bundle of lotus leaves along with the lotus stems and would give them to the tribesmen to taste later.

……

After returning to the campsite, Sang Tian's first task was to prepare lotus leaf chicken, which took quite a while.

When the tribesmen saw several people helping Sang bring back lotus leaves, they gathered around with curiosity and surprise.

Once the explanation was given, everyone was stunned.

It turns out that this thing can be eaten all over the body...

How could they not think of it?

While feeling frustrated, they were also more excited about what it was like.

So everyone rushed to help Sang Tian.

The lotus leaf chicken is fragrant and tender.

Sang Tian couldn't wait just thinking about it!

First, spread a layer of salt evenly on the chicken inside and out and marinate for 15 minutes.

Then soak the dried shiitake mushrooms and dried black fungus in warm water, remove the core of the red dates, and wash the wolfberries.

Then, blanch the lotus leaves in boiling water for 2 minutes, then remove them and rinse with cold water.

This can make the lotus leaves softer and more resilient, while removing the green and astringent taste of the lotus leaves.

Add onion, ginger, garlic, sugar and pepper to a bowl, mix well and set aside.

Pour oil into the pot, add shredded green onion and ginger when the oil is hot and stir-fry until fragrant, then add diced mushrooms and small pieces of wood ear mushrooms and stir-fry until fragrant.

Pour in the prepared sauce and cook until the soup thickens, then serve and let cool.

Then apply the fried and cooled ingredients evenly on the inside and outside of the chicken and marinate for 1 hour to allow the chicken to fully absorb the flavor of the seasoning.

Then evenly coat the marinated chicken with a layer of yam powder, which can lock in the moisture of the chicken.

Place the lotus leaves on the chopping board, place the chicken in the middle of the lotus leaves, wrap the chicken tightly with the lotus leaves, and secure the joints of the lotus leaves with wooden sticks.

Place the wrapped chicken in lotus leaves into a steamer and steam over high heat for 40-50 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.

The lotus leaf chicken made in this way is tender and juicy, with the fragrance of lotus leaves. The aroma of the ingredients is also fully integrated into the chicken. Every bite is unforgettable and you can't stop eating.

The refreshing fragrance of lotus leaves mixed with the aroma of mushrooms and black fungus, and the tenderness and juice of chicken, the aroma is overflowing.

All the tribesmen are about to be killed by Xiangmi Lake!
