Chapter 96: Great Harvest
After discovering the fern roots, Tai and the others were happy, but also became more and more careful, wanting to take Ripple around the Black Snake Clan's territory, which made Ripple dumbfounded.
"Don't be greedy. You are lucky to have found this way. You can't have all the good things happen to you."
"Yes, we understand!"
< br>Tai promised well, and continued to dig things back and let Ripple identify them. It was just because everything revived in the warm season, so many animals and plants were still growing, so there was no special discovery later.
She only found a small piece of sweet potato, and it was because Lianyi saw the gopher gnawing that she found it. She immediately asked Tai and others to coax the gopher away, and then dug out the small piece of sweet potato. These sweet potatoes were also very big. , even though it was only a small piece, it filled two animal skin bags.
Lianyi also picked up some sweet potato vines. Everyone ate roasted sweet potatoes that night and made vegetable soup with the sweet potato vines. These male orcs still like to eat meat, so the vegetable soup was just a taste, and one of them tasted it. Two mouthfuls.
Then several people agreed that their female would like vegetable soup, and the cubs would like roasted sweet potatoes, because sweet potatoes are sweet, and they can eat sweet potatoes without roasting them when they go hunting. There is no need to make a fire to cook food, and it should be no problem to bring some emergency supplies.
“We have been outside for ten days. It is the same time as you usually go out hunting. Now we need to go back to replenish our consumption and then bring back what we found.
The processing of fern roots is a bit It's complicated and requires my personal guidance. You also need to see your own females and cubs. Don't you miss them if you don't go back for so long? They will definitely be worried about you. I won't leave the Black Snake Clan for the time being. .”
Lianyi said with a smile, which made the Taihe tribe a little embarrassed. They were determined to return the next day. On the way back, they would try to dig more fern roots. Anyway, the orcs were very strong and could carry one or two hundred kilograms. Down.
The return journey was obviously much faster. It took them seven days to return to the tribe. Their return was warmly welcomed by the tribe.
After all, after they went out, they kept coming back with new things and news. Potatoes had been recognized by the tribe and included in the daily picking range. Then there were also fern roots sent back. When they learned that After being processed, this thing can actually be stored for a whole year, and everyone's face can't hide the joy.
Here we will talk about the time of the Beast World Continent. They are divided into five seasons: warm season, hot season, rich season, rainy season and cold season. The length of each season is about three months. The witch will tell the orcs in advance the exact time of the changing seasons, so there are fifteen months in a year here, and the time in the beast world is thirty-six hours a day, so going out for ten days is not a short period of time for Ripple.
Ripples were surrounded into the temporary cave, and the females of the Black Snake Tribe brought a lot of food, including roasted fresh red-bristle pork, and freshly fried vegetables with meat slices and green leaves. Of course, Potato stew is indispensable. In short, Lianyi, the messenger of the beast god, must not be hungry.
Du Ye received the notice and saw how popular Ripple was from a distance, so he curled his lips and went back to his cave, followed by two tribesmen. He felt that it was very boring, and now he no longer wanted to say anything to the tribesmen. In my mind, I wanted to leave the clan as soon as possible.
After resting for two days, Ripple appeared in the square again, this time to make and process fern roots. On the second day after returning, she asked the female to clean all the fern roots she brought back. , and then let the stronger male orc smash the fern roots directly.
What you need to do today is to add spring water to the crushed stone pot, then stir and wash until the water becomes clear, then pour out the water for washing the fern roots and let it sit for a while to let it settle on its own. .
After the water has settled into layers, pour out the upper layer of clear water, leaving the bottom layer of thick brown sediment, pour it into a thin stone plate, and then steam it in a stone pot. When the sediment of the fern root turns into a transparent dark brown, you can pour it out entirely, and use a bone knife to cut the whole piece of fern root powder into two-finger-wide vermicelli. The last step is to dry it.
After the fern root powder dries, it can be stored in a cool place and can be eaten at any time without worrying about it going bad.
Lianyi also used the fern root powder that had just come out of the pot to make a fern root powder broth. He put the cut fern root powder directly into the soup stock that had been simmered all night, and added some meat. Chunks and green edible vegetables, even seasoned with a little salt, are very popular with females and cubs.
Because the fern root powder is soft, waxy and smooth, it looks good and tastes very filling, so the square has been lively for another night.
Si and Wu also enjoyed a meal of bracken root powder soup. They felt extremely comfortable and the smiles on their faces never broke.
The sun in the warm season is not at its strongest, which is perfect for drying fern root powder. The Black Snake tribe has another food that can be eaten in the rainy and cold seasons. Everyone is enthusiastic and more motivated to pick. .
The company also specially made adjustments and arrangements. The elderly male orcs of the tribe and the male orcs who were disabled and unable to hunt were responsible for pounding the fern roots. After the female orcs cleaned the mashed fern roots, they squeezed them again. Don't waste anything.
The female orcs are responsible for cooking and drying the fern root powder after settling. Even the cubs have their own tasks, guarding the dried fern root powder to prevent it from being eaten or contaminated by birds and insects. Steam rises from time to time in the entire square. , and the joyful laughter of the cubs, a scene of prosperity.
When Lianyi stayed at the Black Snake Clan’s territory, in the Lion Clan’s territory, Yan Jia and Sang’s feelings grew day by day, and the two slowly came together.
In order to win Sang's heart, Yan Jia focused on how to conquer this male orc. He did not pay too much attention to the development of the tribe. Naturally, he did not put forward any forward-looking suggestions. However, because of the discovery of two Thanks to her efforts in growing new food, her treatment in the tribe is not bad.
Only Duoduo paid attention to the progress of the two of them from time to time. After returning, she said to her partner Rong:
"Rong, I feel worthless for Ripple. She has only returned to the embrace of the beast god, and that Sang has already come together with Yan Jia!
Not to mention that Ripple chose to become a female for him, even if it was for both of them. He shouldn't have accepted Yan Jia's approach so quickly despite his previous feelings. "
Rong is a male orc with a relatively silent temperament. He actually looks down on Sang's approach, and he knows it. More, after all, after the accident, he was a member of the escort and the first one to chase after him.
Although he didn't find Ripple the first time, he was able to determine the direction in which Ripple fled after being attacked. Because he was worried about Duoduo's pregnancy, he did not continue to follow him, but stayed behind to look after the female picking team.
When Sang rushed over, he also told the other party the direction of Lianyi's disappearance, but Sang only found the place of the accident where blood was spattered, and did not continue to look for it.
