Ang Lee accompanied Zhao Yefu to dig up turtle eggs on the beach. These turtles laid a lot of eggs. A nest had at least a hundred eggs. The largest nest had almost two hundred eggs. Although the turtle eggs were not big, a nest of one or two hundred eggs was still a lot. One nest was enough for many people to eat. There were at least a few hundred nests of turtle eggs on the beach. If all of them were dug up, it would probably weigh hundreds to thousands of pounds.
Different turtle eggs had different sizes. The big turtle eggs were bigger than chicken eggs, and the small turtle eggs were smaller than chicken eggs. However, turtles were bigger than chicken eggs. Therefore, their eggs were generally bigger. They were almost the size of chicken eggs.
"These turtle eggs are so big. A nest has more than a hundred eggs. Just one nest is enough for us to eat for several days. Do we really have to dig up hundreds of nests? That would be too miserable for the turtles. "
Zhao Yefu looked at the turtle eggs that were dug up and said.
There were several hundred sea turtle eggs in this nest, and each egg was bigger than a chicken egg. This nest of sea turtle eggs probably weighed several dozen jin, and could be eaten for several days. If all the sea turtle eggs were dug out, there would be at least a few thousand jin of them, and they wouldn't be finished even after several months.
Ang Lee said with a smile, "You're not only thinking about the two of us. The soldiers are also greedy. There are more than a thousand soldiers in this camp. These turtle eggs are not enough to fill the gaps between their teeth. Haha! "
Although digging too many eggs will have a certain impact on the reproduction of sea turtles, there are many beaches near the port. The area where sea turtles lay their eggs is also relatively wide. There are also beaches on the nearby islands. The sea turtles won't go extinct because of Li An and the others' large-scale digging of eggs. These sea turtles have a very strong reproductive ability. The more they dig, the faster they reproduce. Even if they don't dig up sea turtle eggs, only a small number of these sea turtle eggs can hatch. Most of them will probably become food for other animals. And the young sea turtles that are lucky enough to hatch have a high chance of being eaten by other animals. Not many can really live to grow up.
"Well, that's true. We should let the soldiers have a taste."
Zhao Yefu smiled embarrassedly.
The shell of the turtle eggs was not very strong. Therefore, when digging, they needed to be very careful. They had to be gentle to avoid knocking the shell and causing damage to the turtle eggs.
A nest of sea turtle eggs contained several hundred eggs, enough to fill a basket. Several hundred nests of sea turtle eggs required several hundred baskets. More than ten people worked together to dig out these sea turtle eggs. It took them more than two hours to dig out all the sea turtle eggs. Several hundred baskets were neatly placed on the beach.
"Okay, we're finally done. Let's move these turtle eggs away!"
Ang Lee said.
"We dug up so many turtle eggs tonight. We'll have something to eat tomorrow morning. Haha!"
Zhao Yefu said happily.
Li An nodded and said, "I'll cook turtle eggs tomorrow morning and let you eat as much as you want."
.......... tonight.
Zhao Yafu said.
"Then it's supper. Okay, I'll cook some."
. Ang Lee said.
There were many treasures on the beach. In addition to crabs and turtle eggs, there were many other marine products. As long as they dug under the beach, they could dig up a lot of marine products. However, at this time, Ang Lee was tired and did not want to continue digging. He wanted to rest for a while first, then eat some turtle eggs. After that, it was time to rest.
"Yefu, come here and lie in my arms."
Ang Lee looked at Zhao Yefu and said with a smile.
Zhao Yefu smiled and obediently walked to Ang Lee's side. She lay gently in Ang Lee's arms. Her expression was quite intoxicated.
There were many stones on the beach. There were also a lot of big stones. These big stones were relatively clean. Ang Lee and Zhao Yefu were on the big stones.
Ang Lee sat on the big stone, while Zhao Yefu lay gently in Ang Lee's arms. The two quietly looked at the stars in the sky, felt the gentle sea breeze, and talked about some gentle topics. It was a wonderful feeling.
"The stars in the sky are so bright! It's a pity that I can't see the moon. "
Zhao Yefu looked for a long time, but she didn't find the moon.
Ang Lee also didn't find any trace of the moon. He didn't know where it was hiding, but the stars were indeed very bright. The whole starry sky was very bright, making people who looked up at the starry sky very intoxicated.
There were many stories about the starry sky, but Ang Lee had already told Zhao Yefu. Zhao Yefu also knew about the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, so there was nothing new to introduce.
Zhao Yefu didn't need Ang Lee to say anything. She only needed Ang Lee to hug her tightly and kiss her gently on the cheek. That was enough.
The next morning, Ang Lee and Zhao Yefu got up early to make breakfast. Boiled turtle eggs were an essential dish. This was agreed last night.
Because the size of these turtle eggs was relatively large, each one was bigger than an egg. So, only ten of them needed to be boiled in a pot. They couldn't finish it if they boiled too many.
Just boiling the turtle eggs with water was naturally too light for the appetite. The turtle eggs with flavor were the most delicious. Boiling the turtle eggs with various spices could get a better taste.
Ang Lee used spices such as cinnamon, pepper, sauces, and tea leaves. The turtle eggs cooked in this way were more delicious.
When the turtle eggs were almost cooked, Ang Lee took a spoon and gently knocked on the shell of the turtle eggs to break the shell of the turtle eggs. In this way, the flavor of the spice soup could be more easily absorbed by the turtle eggs. The cooked turtle eggs would naturally be more delicious.
"En, not bad. It smells very good."
Zhao Yefu smelled the cooked turtle eggs and said with a smile.
Ang Lee nodded. He scooped a few turtle eggs with a spoon and put them in a clean bowl. Then, he put the bowl in Zhao Yefu's hand.
"Three per person. Eat it while it's hot!"
After Ang Lee finished speaking, he scooped three turtle eggs for himself.
Turtle eggs were also a kind of turtle eggs. In the world, all kinds of turtle eggs had rich nutritional value. It was said that turtle eggs had the effect of preventing arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure, diabetes, and so on. Practice also proved that turtle eggs had the effect of anti-bacterial, anti-cancer, and anti-aging. The content of protein in turtle eggs was nearly twice that of chicken eggs. The content of calcium was four to five times that of chicken eggs. The content of riboflavin was twice that of chicken eggs. However, the content of cholesterol, which was harmful to human health, was only 10% of chicken eggs. The total sugar was less than 10% of chicken eggs, and the total fat was about half of chicken eggs. Compared with chicken eggs, turtle eggs were a nutritional health product with high protein, low fat, low sugar, and low cholesterol. They had higher edible value.
There were many therapeutic effects of turtle eggs. For example, turtle eggs and their extracts could effectively prevent and inhibit liver cancer, stomach cancer, and acute lymphatic leukemia. They were also used to prevent and treat weakness, anemia, leukopenia, and other diseases caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
Secondly, turtle eggs also had a good blood purification effect. Regular eaters could reduce blood cholesterol, so it was beneficial for patients with high blood pressure and coronary heart disease. People in the future liked turtle eggs very much. However, due to the relatively high price, there were not many people who could afford to eat turtle eggs. In addition, turtle eggs could also heal fatigue, strengthen yang energy, and greatly supplement the deficiency of yin energy. Eating turtle eggs also had a certain auxiliary curative effect on tuberculosis, anemia, weak physique, and many other diseases. The effect was very good. According to folklore, turtle eggs could also prevent children from having heat rash in summer. Children also liked to eat turtle eggs very much.
People who had not eaten turtle eggs before may have some misunderstandings about turtle eggs. Turtle eggs were still in liquid form when cooked and had high nutritional value. However, due to its different composition from chicken eggs, its protein content was much higher than chicken eggs and duck eggs, so it was generally difficult to solidify into a solid. Because of this, people often thought that the turtle eggs were not cooked, but in fact, they were already cooked, so they should not be thrown away.
The turtle eggs that Li An personally cooked were based on the recipes that he learned in the future. There were dozens of ingredients, and among them, the turtle eggs were naturally the most indispensable. The ingredients included tea leaves, coriander, pepper, chopped onion, ginger, salt, sesame oil, yellow wine, and so on.
The process of making it was also very simple. First, put water and turtle eggs into the pot and boil them. Then, pour the water away and add water to boil again. Then, put in various seasonings, and continue to boil. After that, just keep boiling. When the domestic ingredients were fully boiled, the turtle eggs were already cooked. At this time, you can gently crack the shell of the turtle eggs, and then continue to boil. After waiting for a while, it was ready.
The turtle eggs made in this way tasted extraordinarily delicious. It was a very good enjoyment to eat in the mouth.
Of course, there were many ways to make turtle eggs, and there were more ways to make them, but time was limited. Ang Lee would not waste too much time on this dish.
"How is it? It tastes good, right?"
Ang Lee looked at Zhao Yaofu and said with a smile.
Zhao Yaofu nodded and said, "Of course it's delicious. It's much better than eggs, hee hee!"
"If it's delicious, then eat more. After eating, let's go hunting in the mountains. I haven't hunted for several months. It's so boring!"
Ang Lee said with a smile.
"Okay, I wonder if there are any special prey in the nearby mountains?"
Zhao Yaofu asked.
Li An smiled and said, "I'm not sure about the others, but there will definitely be a lot of wild rabbits and pheasants. I'm afraid there will be a lot of large prey as well. After all, there aren't many people within a hundred miles of here. This is a tropical rainforest. I can't say much about other things in the forest, but there is enough prey. You can get whatever you want."
After breakfast, Ang Lee took Zhao Yaofu to the nearby mountains to hunt under the protection of more than ten guards.
The land within a hundred miles of the port was taken over by Ang Lee. Now, these lands belonged to the Tang Empire. There was no problem for Ang Lee to hunt in this area.
Because this area was tropical, the climate nearby belonged to the tropical rainforest climate. There were also some forest resources, so naturally, there would be a lot of prey. The most species in the world was the tropical rainforest. There were the most animals in the tropical rainforest. The tropical rainforest was very suitable for the rapid growth of plants. The more luxuriant the plants grew, the more food sources for animals. A large number of plants could be used as hiding places for animals, so that all kinds of animals could survive better. As a result, the number of species in the tropical rainforest naturally increased, making it the most abundant place in the world.
Hunting in the tropical rainforest would inevitably lead to more prey. However, the tropical rainforest was also a relatively dangerous area. Because there were many species, there were many animals that were a threat to people. Whether it was large beasts or poisonous snakes or insects, they all posed a great threat to humans. If the hunters were not careful, they would lose their lives.
Therefore, before hunting, Li An had to be fully prepared. He had to think of a way to avoid being hurt by wild beasts and protect everyone around him.
The necessary protection was necessary. Equipment to prevent poisonous snakes and insects was indispensable. The skin of the body should not be exposed as much as possible. Herbs to prevent mosquitoes and insects should also be carried with him. Some herbs to detoxify should also be brought to avoid being bitten by poisonous snakes.
"Yaofu, you must be more careful along the way. Don't leave me. Once you enter the dense forest, danger is everywhere."
Ang Lee looked at Zhao Yaofu and said seriously.
Zhao Yaofu was slightly nervous and said, "I know. Should we bring more guards? A dozen people are too few."
Ang Lee said, "No, more than a dozen people are enough. The danger in the dense forest is not solved by more people. Even if we bring more people, we can't avoid the danger. It's best to be careful."
"Oh, I know."
Zhao Yaofu said.
The wider the hunting area, the greater the chance of encountering prey. Therefore, Ang Lee and his group all rode horses. Zhao Yaofu also knew how to ride a horse, but his riding skills were very ordinary.
The forest that Ang Lee chose was an area where the trees were not too dense. The trees were too dense to ride a horse. Therefore, they could only choose an area where the trees were not particularly dense.
"There is movement in the forest. There must be prey. Let's prepare separately, surround the prey, and then capture it in one fell swoop."
Ang Lee assigned tasks to the guards under his command. They were ready to hunt this unknown species of prey.
The reason why they couldn't distinguish the species was that the grass here was too dense. For small prey, it was impossible to see it running around in the grass. They could only judge that there was indeed prey moving around by the sound and movement of the grass.
The group immediately scattered and deployed, blocking all the possible escape routes of the prey. Zhao Yaofu naturally followed closely behind Ang Lee. She didn't act alone. The dense forest was too dangerous. Naturally, she couldn't act alone.
When the encirclement was formed, the wild animals surrounded in the encirclement naturally had nowhere to escape. They had to run back and forth in a small area.
Although Ang Lee couldn't see the prey's body, he could still determine the prey's movement trajectory and true location through the movements of the prey in the grass. Therefore, Ang Lee drew his bow and aimed at the prey that was running around like a headless fly.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh …"
A large number of arrows were shot at the encircled area. Although most of the arrows missed, there were still a few arrows that hit the prey.
