“We can dig a pit and find some stones, then heat the stones up and put the cassava in to cook,” Melinda said.
“I’ll go to the stream to pick up some stones.” Sharon picked at the fire with a branch, wanting it to burn brighter.
“Okay, I’ll go with you.” Melinda followed Sharon.
By the time Sharon and Melinda picked up a pile of small rocks, the fire was almost done, and Shane had already dug the pit.
Dan placed the small stones that Sharon and Melinda had picked up in the pit. Then, he placed the wood that was still burning with embers onto the stones in the pit. Then, he placed some new wood to heat the stone.
After the stone heated up, Dan placed the cassava in and used the remaining heat of the stone and charcoal to smolder the cassava. This way, he could lock the water in the cassava.
In the end, Sharon buried the pit with soil. In a while, she would be able to eat the fragrant roasted cassava.
Sharon used the jar she had picked up previously to boil the water from the nectar Melinda had picked during the day. There was only thick nectar left in the jar. The nectar could be used as seasoning, and the rest could be stored.
While waiting for the cassava to cook, Shane tasted a few fruit banyans that
Sharon and the others had picked and said, “This is really good.”
Dan also broke open a banyan fruit. The dense seeds inside reminded him of the figs he picked from the trees in the village when he was young.
“There are still many fruits on the banyan trees we found. I’m afraid they’ll be eaten by the insects after a while. Let’s go pick some tomorrow and make them into dried fruits.” Sharon felt that this fruit tree was the perfect food source and could be used as a food reserve in the future.
“The cassava should be ready,” Shane said. Everyone was a little impatient.
Melinda anxiously touched the soil where the cassava had been buried. The soil was still a little hot, so she quickly retracted her hand.
Sharon saw Melinda’s little action, and felt that it was a little cute. The food she ate during the day wasn’t especially filling. The others should be as hungry as Melinda.
Sharon smiled and said, “This soil will still be a little hot. Let’s find a wooden stick to dig.”
Shane found a wooden stick and dug out the roasted cassava.
share with everyone.
The freshly dug cassava was still a little hot. Dan blew at the tips of his fingers and reminded, “Be careful not to burn yourself.”
Melinda couldn’t care less about the heat anymore. She broke open the cassava and blew on it briefly before putting it into her mouth. In the end, she spat it out after being scalded.
“Be careful not to burn yourself,” Sharon reminded Melinda with a smile.
Sharon blew at the cassava in her hand and gently peeled off the gray outer skin. The outer skin was already a little charred, but the inside was still white and floury. She could see the thickness of the starch.
Sharon distributed some of the nectar to everyone.
“It’s so sweet.” Dan took a bite of the cassava with hot nectar. This taste was like eating roasted sweet potatoes with high sugar content. Every bite was filled with sweetness and happiness.
Sharon also took a bite. Perhaps because she hadn’t eaten such a high-starch food for a long time, ingesting carbohydrates could really improve one’s mood. Coupled with the sweetness of this nectar, Sharon felt that this was better than all the roasted sweet potatoes she had eaten before.
Melinda also enjoyed it very much. The smell of roasted cassava reminded her of the taste of roasted potatoes when she was young. It was already fragrant enough, and the nectar made it even better.
“Will we really not get poisoned eating this?” Melissa held the hot cassava like it was a hot potato, as if she was afraid that the poisonous cassava would touch her hand.
“This cassava has been soaked for a few days, and it’s cooked now. It shouldn’t be a problem,” Sharon said. If the cassava hadn’t been soaked for long, the poison inside might indeed be fatal.
After hearing Sharon’s words and seeing that there was no problem with the others eating, Melissa took a small bite and smiled. The burned cassava warmed her stomach and made her feel especially comfortable.
[If Melissa she’s afraid that it’s poisonous , she can just choose not to eat it.]
[Melissa’s smile is so cute.]
[Is there something wrong with Melissa’s fans’ brains?]
