Elven settlers

Chapter 396 Friends’ Help

The clear amber liquid gurgled out from the carapace of the pot, filling the silver-white metal barrel.

"Okay, there are honey carrots over there. Let's go play after eating."

Rock put the empty Juju back on the ground. Juju, who felt much lighter, immediately ran happily towards the basin with food.

Although Kettles like to be quiet by nature, they are still somewhat lively when there is no brewing juice in their carapace.They also like to move around and bask in the sun at this time, which is also their habit.

Honey carrots are a kind of food that Huhus like to eat. Roque prepared a lot this time, not only honey carrots, but also honey potatoes, honey roasted acorns, and honey mixed cabbage.

The reason why we make so much food is because winter is coming soon, and we need to start reserving energy for the pots and pots.

The Huchus will also fall into hibernation in winter. Although Roque has collected enough tree fruits that the Huchus consume in winter, the Huchus will not get up halfway through hibernation and replenish them.

They will only survive the entire winter with the last supply of tree fruits before winter, so they must reserve part of their energy by eating.

And one bite cannot make you fat, so at this time point one month before winter, Roque will start to let the Huhus "gain fat".

Fortunately, the last time I went to Sunshine Town, I didn't sell Big Needle Honey. I also bought some Blonde Girl's Sweet Sweetness. Together with the abundant vegetables from the vegetable garden, the Huchus had a sufficient source of energy.

"Baba~baba~"

The Huchus seemed to like the food with a little sweetness, and they ate very happily. Rock also noticed this phenomenon.

But now is not the time to study honey. There is a long queue of pots in front of him, eagerly waiting for him to "receive the goods". They can't wait to smell the sweet fragrance in the air.

"Haha, these little guys have been living really comfortably since they came to your ranch. Every day they wake up to eat, play when they are full, and go to sleep when they are tired from playing."

Junsha Yami was also helping Rock on the side. She was responsible for cleaning the corks on the carapace of the pots, and then handed them to Heiluga to dry and disinfect, and then put them in the sun to dry.

Regarding these Huke rescued by Rock, Junsha Yami clearly remembers the tragic situation when they were imprisoned in cages by poachers.

But now the kettles have completely disappeared from the dying look before. They have become very lively and even a little active. Their carapace is also full of bright colors and very shiny. At first glance, it seems that they are living a very good life.

This is all the credit of Rock. No matter what his purpose is, he takes good care of these pots. This is something Junsa Masami admires about him very much.

"By the way, aren't these pots of yours going to be officially produced as wine products?"

Sara's magnetic voice interrupted Junsha Yami's reverie. She was also helping, responsible for sealing the barrels filled with fruit wine and replacing the empty barrels with new ones.

"I have had this idea for a long time, but I haven't found a suitable brewing expert yet. Old Joseph does have a friend, but unfortunately he is still traveling outside, and I don't know when he will be able to return to Kanto. If you are a suitable candidate, You can also recommend it to me.”

Roque casually chatted with Sarah and Junsha Yami. The three of them cooperated very well. With the division of labor, they harvested tree fruit wine very quickly. In less than an hour, one hundred and five pots were harvested. All the tree wine in the carapace of the pot has been collected.

Of course, it also includes the blue pot fruit wine that the three of them have been thinking about for a long time.

"Let's drink during lunch. Do you have any other work? While the two of us are here today, we can help you with it."

Junsha Yami looked at the gorgeous pink wine and licked her lips.Now the three of them have some experience in drinking blue pot fruit wine. They know that although this wine is delicious, it has a strong stamina and must be prepared in advance before drinking it.

"I also think it's better to drink at noon. It just so happens that I haven't had time to pick the cucumbers in my vegetable garden. If I don't pick them, they will rot in the soil. Please pick them for me."

Luo Ke naturally welcomed Junsha Yamei's offer to help with the work.

Although the elves are good helpers in Rock's reclamation, many delicate tasks can still only be done by hand.

Recently, there have been a lot of preparations for winter, so he has many plans that he has not yet had time to implement.

Now with the help of Sarah and Junsha Yami, he has the time and energy to do more things.

Although the two of them come to the ranch nominally to relax and decompress, they are not all about eating, drinking and having fun. They always help Rock with a lot of work, which makes Rock always look forward to their arrival.

Most of the other vegetables in the garden have been harvested and have gone into the stomachs of Rock and the elves.

Only some potatoes, carrots, kale, and cucumbers are still growing normally.

The shelf-stable potatoes, carrots and cabbage Roque are going to let these vegetables grow in the soil for two more days. After a while, they will dig a cellar when they are not busy, and then harvest them and store them in the cellar.

But there was no need to delay the harvesting of cucumbers, because as he just said to Junsha Yami and Sara, they would spoil if they were not harvested.

There are a lot of cucumbers in Rock's vegetable garden this year. These cucumbers have a refreshing and crisp taste and are very delicious.

So he was not going to eat all the cucumbers in a short time.

His plan was to make pickles from the cucumbers picked in the vegetable garden and store them to provide a delicious meal during the long winter.

Pickled cucumbers are not only easy to preserve, but also have a unique flavor. They are also one of the most valuable sources of vitamins in winter.

After all, although the construction of the greenhouse has already begun, it will take a certain amount of time until the greenhouse is completed and the plants inside are planted and bear fruit.

So Rock still treats making pickles as a formal job. He knows very well that food is the most important issue in winter. For this reason, he also specially bought a lot of glass with sealing function from Sunshine Town. Food jars.

"Are you going to make pickles?"

Sarah, who grew up on a ranch, immediately guessed Rock's purpose. Many ranches around the wild wilderness area have the habit of making pickles before winter.

Seeing Rock nodded, she rolled up her sleeves enthusiastically and said to Rock and Masami Junsha.

"No one can compete with me. I was taught by my grandma personally when I was a child. I used to make pickles at home every year."

Since Sara volunteered, Rock and Junsha Yami would naturally not refuse.

So Sarah stayed in the camp to make various preparations, while Rock, Junsha Yami, and Geranium carried buckets to the vegetable garden to pick cucumbers.
