Section 386
"Brothers, my carbs are finally here..."
"With it, I have the most basic guarantee for my daily consumption. Cassava can be cultivated artificially. In other words, even if there is only one plant on the entire island, I can use some methods to make it bloom everywhere and become a Become my food!"

Cassava is very drought tolerant.
There are no special requirements for the growing environment.
As long as the sunshine is sufficient, the soil is loose, and the annual average temperature is above 18 degrees, it can be planted.
In addition, unlike other root vegetables, cassava is also extremely durable.
The broken kudzu will soon grow back again.
And very friendly at maturity.
Depending on the variety, the frost-free growth period can be as short as thirty days.
The longest is no more than six months.
It is definitely a rare survival crop.
If you can encounter cassava in the wild, among other things, most of the food problems will definitely be solved!
previous life.
On February 26, 2004, "Super Cruise 14" carrying 899 passengers and crew sailed from Manila to Bacolod, a port city in the central Philippines, before midnight.
The passenger ship suddenly exploded and caught fire when it was sailing near Corregidor Island at the mouth of Manila Bay in the early morning of the 27th.
The incident resulted in 73 deaths and 15 fatalities.
Among them, two crew members were stranded on a deserted island. With no weapons and no food, they survived for two months relying on wild cassava and coconuts on the island. Finally, they waited for rescue.
It can be seen from this.
Cassava is definitely a rare and most practical wilderness delicacy.
Just one pill can give you a super feeling of fullness and completely forget about hunger.
"For a survivalist, cassava is the most powerful carbohydrate, no one else. With it, I will no longer have to work hungry in the following days."
"This guy's vitality is very tenacious. As long as the environment is not particularly harsh, it can usually be cultivated successfully."
"After the hut is built, I will set up a vegetable garden and replicate some cassava for supplies..."
Lu Yu never dreamed that he would find cassava here.
This wave is really full of luck!
It can be said that with it, you no longer have to look at the sky for food!
Looking at this inconspicuous shrub, Lu Yu was extremely excited and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's so precious...a delicacy that cannot be exchanged for a price...Thanks to the friendly sponsorship of the island, brothers, the days of hunger are finally over..."
In the live broadcast room.
At the beginning, the audience did not know the importance of this discovery. Isn't it just an inconspicuous shrub?
What's so surprising?
However, after learning the cause and effect, everyone suddenly became enlightened and launched barrages one after another:
"66666! Is it okay to have a vegetable garden?"
"living comfortably without anybody's help!"
"Damn it, is it time for a comeback?"
"Isn't it just a sweet potato? He smiles like a 200-pound child..."
"It's a sweet potato to you, but to the host, it's the hope of living!"
"Oh my God, is Feather God going to move from the Stone Age to agricultural civilization?"
“Brilliant upstairs!”
"Nima, it's getting more and more exciting, come on, anchor!"
…
Discover cassava.
Significant.
If the cultivation can be successful, this will be an important node of this live broadcast.
The era of passive hunting will be officially replaced by slash-and-burn farming and self-sufficiency!
Thinking about it, Lu Yu didn't dare to neglect it at the moment.
I quickly found some stones and protected this extremely mature wild crop.
"There are wild animals in the forest. In order to prevent them from being trampled, it is best to protect them first and then cut off the roots for planting when they need to be planted."
"Most cassava cultivation methods use stems as seeds. The quality of the stems will directly affect the growth and yield after emergence. Therefore, the maturity of the mother seedlings naturally becomes a hard indicator. The cassava plant we discovered , the maturity is quite good and can be used as a mother seedling. Brothers, please look here——"
Aiming the drone's lens at the buds under the cassava roots, Lu Yu continued to explain:
"These young shoots are the key to growing cassava."
"When planting, we'd better choose the middle and lower parts of the plant stems, the parts with buds, for seeding, use wooden strips as the bottom, place the cassava seed stems above the wooden strips, cut them off at an angle with a knife, and the length of the seed stems should be 15 It’s appropriate to keep 3 to 5 buds, and pay attention to sun protection and rain protection, and it’s basically fine.”
"As for the specific cultivation method, I will demonstrate it to you after the vegetable garden is established..."
Cultivating crops on an uninhabited island is new to me just hearing about it.
The most important thing is that this seemingly impossible behavior was actually justified and justified by Lu Yu.
It makes people believe it.
Relying on the agricultural knowledge in the system skills, Lu Yu showed the feasibility and even the specific plan of cultivating cassava.
Although the audience didn't know what he was talking about, they still felt so awesome!
"Oh my God! Awesome!"
"Mom Asks Kneeling Series!"
"What a fucking fortress!"
"Boss, please take my knee!"
"I just wanted to ask, who else is there!"
"The Chinese architect will give the anchor a card x 10! - It seems that as long as Yu Shen is given enough materials, he can even make hybrid rice!"
"Four steamed buns for one dollar will be given to the anchor airplane x 10! - Brothers, don't sit down, kneel down..."
Putting stones around the cassava, Lu Yu made a signpost next to the tree, and then searched around.
According to the growth law of wild cassava, if I guessed correctly, there must be more nearby.
Sure enough.
Before he took two steps.
Lu Yu found six more cassava plants in the forest, with different degrees of maturity scattered under various trees.
In order to obtain good seed stems later, Lu Yu protected the three plants with better maturity with stones.
As for the slightly worse ones, they were directly uprooted and used as dinner tonight.
"The mature ones should be cultivated. After all, it would be a waste to eat them like this. But these poor ones are not so delicate. Let's eat them first."
The soil in the forest is mostly sandy loam.
It is very soft.
With a little force, the cassava can be pulled up by the roots.
After cooking three cassavas in a row, Lu Yu took out a good-sized root and showed it to the audience in front of the camera.
"Look, this guy looks like this... It looks similar to sweet potatoes, the only difference is that the color is lighter. Of course, the taste of the two is also very different."
"The taste of cassava is closer to potatoes, and it tastes soft."
Speaking of this, Lu Yu's face showed excitement again, and he kept sighing:
"Tonight, I can finally have a full meal..."
"Friends, today is a day worth celebrating, really..."
Although the cassava in his hand is not very mature, it is not small, enough for Lu Yu to eat for a while.
Three to five days is not a problem.
Roasted cassava can be stored for a long time.
If it is made into cassava cakes, it can be stored for a few days.
After staying for a while, Lu Yu tied three cassava plants around his waist.
Then he carried the bundle of firewood on his back and headed towards the camp.
…
After arriving at the camp.
The sun was already setting.
After placing the wood as needed, Lu Yu went to the stream to fetch some water.
By the way, he checked the hunting point again and confirmed that the trap was not damaged before returning to prepare to light a fire and cook.
Cassava is the same as sweet potato.
It does not require too much fancy cooking, it is best to eat it roasted.
It is also very convenient to cook.
Just throw it into the fire.
