Otherworldly Pastry Chef

Early the next morning, Guozi and Hei Xiao ran straight to the forest.

It was already summer, and the depths of the rock gum forest were hot and humid.This is a good season for growing mushrooms. Sure enough, since they come out, of course I will not let them go.Originally, Guozi thought that in the scorched forest, at least this year, no mushrooms would grow.But what he didn't expect was that when he arrived at the edge of the forest, Guozi saw morels.As he picked and walked, he found that there seemed to be more morel mushrooms in the place after the sky fire burned.No one came to pick the fruit in this place at all, so it was a pleasure to pick the fruit.In addition to morels, there are some other fungi, but there are very few types, and the number of morels is about the same as that of ordinary yellow Ding Mushrooms.

Hei Xiao was protecting the fruit, and the work on his hands didn't stop.I haven't been to the place where the earth dragon is specially planted yet, so what I dug up are some early-maturing radishes and large lettuces that I like to eat. There are a few tomato plants that are growing very well. The tomatoes are already glowing red. Hei Xiao knows I like the fruit. After picking the tomato, I carefully dug out the roots of the plant and put them in the ritual vessel.He plans to go back and pick the tomatoes in the big wooden basin, so that he can pick the tomatoes again in winter.At least last year's leeks and garlic sprouts and celery grew very well.

There are no roads in the forest, and every step has to be pushed through the dense vegetation, so there will always be all kinds of dirt on the body after each collection, the most is the green of grass juice, and this thing is still It doesn't sound good to wash.Therefore, in the beast world, few people pass white clothes into the forest.But there is one thing that works really well with Clear Grass Leaf Juice.It is a kind of black berry, and everyone calls it white cloth fruit.As long as you put the juice of a white cloth fruit into the water basin, the clothes soaked in the water can be washed very clean, even the sticky plant juice can be cleaned very clean.It's just that this thing is hard to find, because it is an annual plant, so if it is found in this place this year, it may be gone the next day.It so happened that Guozi saw two trees today, which made him very happy.

"Hei Xiao Hei Xiao, can you dig up the whole white cloth fruit? This thing is not a magic plant, it should be able to be picked and planted!" Guo Guo carefully picked the black white cloth fruit after ripening into a clean bowl inside.

"Many people have tried it before. It's not that the seeds won't grow, but they will die after living for the second year. Moreover, there are no seeds in the white cloth fruit, and they don't know how to reproduce it. That's why many people rush to buy and sell the white cloth fruit. It must be as expensive as magic materials. The collected two plants can be sold for a lot of money." Hei Xiao reminded truthfully.

The fruit is a little regretful: "Then we can only take it off. It's okay if it's not completely black?"

Hei Xiao nodded: "Yeah. Same, this one is completely ripe and then it is dropped to the ground and ruined. The blue ones will turn black after a few days after being picked, and the effect is the same. You don't need it anyway. Just sell it when you go back. "

Guozi rubbed his chin: "Such miraculous things are very rare, and I have never seen them a few times. They can't be sold. Let's keep them. In case they are useful in the future, and there is no shortage of money. Hei Xiao, look over there." There are a lot of vines of earth dragons, have you reached the place? Let’s go and dig it out quickly. If I can dig it out, I will make earth dragon meatloaf for you at noon!”

"It's better to have a casual bite at noon. It's better not to light a fire nearby." Hei Xiao still has a certain psychological shadow.

"That's right. No wonder you brought steamed buns and jerky. That's fine, let's dig it back and eat it at night. Xiaobao must have never eaten it. If you can dig more, you can eat freshly made ground dragon vermicelli tomorrow. Yes I haven't had it for two or three months!" Thinking of the braised vermicelli, the fruit is hungry.

Although the earth dragon did not grow huge in three months as Guozi imagined, the harvest was still considerable.As far as one artificially planted earth dragon is concerned, having six baskets of earth dragons is already very impressive.Although the earth dragons have different shapes and occupy a large area, the area they dig is also small.Hei Xiao estimated that in the same area, this was one-third less than the output of the earth dragon harvested in the mountains until autumn last year.But if it can be planted for another season, there will still be a lot more harvest.

This made the two of them very happy.Although their leopard tribe would not die due to lack of food in winter, and there were no orcs in Yancheng who could not afford to eat, but a good harvest meant that being richer would bring more money.This is completely different from the state of mind of several generations of orcs who only wanted food and clothing.

"The vegetables and fruits are not ripe yet, let's go back after eating something later. Report to the city lord, and we will definitely come back with a group of people tomorrow." Hei Xiao roughly estimated how many orcs this large land dragon would need to carry. Going back, counting my own words, there are at least about 40 people.After all, the weight of this thing is one thing, and it takes up space when it grows.

Guo Guo washed a small earth dragon in the stream beside him, peeled off the skin with a knife, and took a bite.The crispy taste is especially suitable for the taste of the little rabbit.

"Remember, don't throw away these earth dragon vines when digging. They are good feed. Xiaohua and Uncle Liu need them very much. But someone has to carry them. I feel that the vines are better than the earth. Dragons are not much lighter. But they are much easier to carry."

As they talked, the two chose a relatively flat place by the stream, spread an oilcloth and sat down.There was no soup, only water and steamed buns and jerky, but the two of them, who had been tired for a long time, still smelled delicious afterward.Moreover, the fruit even ate a whole ground dragon raw, and Hei Xiao thought it was very fragrant, but it really made him eat it. This tasteless thing should be cooked to taste.

After eating and drinking enough, the two of them planned to walk back, but Guo Guo couldn't stand still, slipped and fell to the side of the stream.

Hei Xiao was taken aback, his own little rabbit fell when he just put away the oilcloth, which was really careless.So he didn't care about the oilcloth anymore, and quickly hugged Guozi's shoulders.

"How are you? Did you fall somewhere?"

Guozi grinned.Because his ass fell really hurt.

"I fell on my ass. It hurts."

Hei Xiao hurriedly picked up the person, and after making Guozi stand up again, Hei Xiao was going to take off Blind Guozi's pants to see the injury.

"let me see."

Where is the fruit of the blue sky and white sun?He hurried to help it with his hands, but it hurt when he did it, and he immediately gave up the idea of ​​refusing because of the pain.

"There was a stone and it hurt a lot."

Although the husband and wife have time to be honest with each other every day, but looking at their partner's butt in the woods at noon, this scale is still very large.But Hei Xiao really didn't have any thoughts this time.Because his fruit was really scabbed, and although it didn't bleed, it was obviously green with a big piece.Hei Xiao felt very distressed.

"It's a big piece of green, don't move, I'll apply ointment on you, and it will be fine soon."

Guozi said "hmm".

"Then take it easy, it really hurts this time."

Although the ointment is good, it will not make you feel better if you get hurt for no reason.Especially if you have to sit on Hei Xiao's back and run back, it will take a while for the fruit to recover.

The two walked forward, Guozi was pouted unhappy, when looking around, he saw an earth dragon vine climbing up a small tree.And the color of that earth dragon vine is not green, but purple.

"Hei Xiao, do you think that is an earth dragon?"

Hei Xiao looked in the direction of Guo Zi's finger and was also surprised.Hei Xiao and the others had only seen the earth dragon before and didn't know it could be eaten, so they hadn't observed it carefully, so at least Hei Xiao had no impression of whether the purple earth dragon was normal.

"Let's go and see. If it is, dig it out and see."

The two of them walked a few steps quickly, and Guozi felt that the pants were worn a little, but the feeling was much stronger than when they fell just now.He knew this ointment very well. It took less than half an hour for the pain to completely disappear, and even the bruises disappeared.Walking to the side of the small tree, Guozi picked off a purple leaf and carefully compared it with the ordinary earth dragon next to it.

"It's really the same. Hei Xiao, dig it out." After he finished speaking, he smelled the leaves of the purple earth dragon, and instantly a fresh scent hit his nostrils. The fruit couldn't help rubbing the leaves, and after the purple juice stained his hands, The smell is even stronger.Smelling the smell, the fruit was aroused with a strong appetite, and I felt that the leaves should be delicious.So he couldn't hold back and took a bite.

then……

"Bah, bah, bah!!" Guozi spit out several mouthfuls, sticking out her tongue, this thing is really bitter!The bitter tongue is numb!It's just bluffing, it smells very appetizing but you can't eat it at all!

Hei Xiao was squatting down digging the ground dragon, when he heard Guozi "bah", he quickly raised his head.

"what happened?"

The fruit had a bitter face: "The leaves smell delicious, but the result is very bitter. After biting into it, my tongue is numb."

Hei Xiao couldn't laugh or cry: "You little greedy rabbit. Hurry up and rinse your mouth with water."

Only then did Guozi remember, and quickly took out the water bag and took a big gulp.But as soon as the water entered, he felt something was wrong.The bitter and numb taste he felt just now mixed with the water, the bitter taste faded away, and the numbness on his tongue turned into a sweet feeling, which reminded him of green tea instantly.Although the aroma of the earth dragon leaves has nothing to do with the aroma of tea, it is also pleasant to drink.So after the current saliva, the fruit took another sip.The taste of smashing, smashing, is a little lighter than before, but it still feels good.So he took another sip.

Hei Xiao was confused.

"Guozi, what's the matter?" He seemed addicted to drinking water.

Only then did Guozi tell Hei Xiao: "When I took the first sip, my tongue was so bitter that it tingled, and the taste returned to sweetness. Then I took two more sips, and the taste became weaker each time, but it felt very good. .I think this thing can be brewed as tea! Just dig up the whole plant and let my parents try to extract the taste and aroma. Even if they can’t, it’s great to drink as tea.”

Hearing what Guozi said with great interest, Hei Xiao also became interested.I pinched a little leaf, chewed it in my mouth, and drank a big mouthful of water.After experiencing the ingenious transformation between bitterness and sweetness, he also had to admire the magic of nature. This feeling is quite interesting.

"It's really good. It's just that I don't know what the earth dragon smells like. But look at this small cut, it's also purple inside. You can smell it."

I took the fruit and put it under my nose and smelled it, and there was indeed no other smell.It's completely different from the alluring taste of the leaves, but it's no different from ordinary white earth dragons.This disappointed the fruit a little.

"I thought purple vines and purple roots could be any different. The taste is the same as ordinary ones. I just don't know how it tastes. Are there many earth dragons under Heixiao?" The massive rhizomes are usually not There may be only one piece, Guozi wants to try a small piece.

Hei Xiao nodded: "There are still some, I will find you a small one. But there are not many knots, this vine grows bigger than others, but there are much fewer earth dragons."

Hei Xiao dug out a small piece of purple earth dragon again, and Hei Xiao tried it with the fruit.This piece of ground dragon is only the size of an egg. After washing it, it is just enough to taste the taste.It cannot be said that the taste of this purple ground dragon is the same as ordinary ones, because it is much sweeter, and the difference is that it is not crispy, but has a soft texture.It is also very good.It's just that it's really not as amazing and magical as the taste of leaves.

"Hei Xiao, dig it out carefully. When you come tomorrow, remember to dig up carefully when you come across this kind of purple. The vines must not be damaged, and the leaves must be more careful. Just say that my mother and father are useful. "After speaking, he picked up two larger purple earth dragons and put them in the Liangyi ring.Thinking about planting this purple earth dragon in my field next year, it is much better than ordinary varieties!hum!When I go back, I will use this to make purple tea cake with a slight bitter taste. It must be delicious!
