Chapter 33, Here Comes the Corn

The forest is densely forested, criss-crossing, like an unfolding network. From time to time, various birds and animals in the forest are awakened by unknown commotions, or fly away with wings, or run quickly with their limbs. Occasionally, there may be one or two The green sound is like the sound of summer cicadas. The weather in spring has become drier, and there is even some heat in the air.

Pan Xiaoguo was carrying the one-size-larger pannier that he had remade on his back, walking around lightly, with a relaxed and natural smile on his face, and at his waist, two black daggers with a cold light were tightly attached to his body , unusually conspicuous.

It took Pan Xiaoguo nearly ten days to search all around the tribe. After several revisions and explanations, he finally handed over the layout of the city wall and buildings drawn with red juice to the patriarch Long Xiao.

In the past ten days, Pan Xiaoguo has also gained a lot while doing this. For example, he found that the natural salt ponds in the Tianlong tribe can actually grow by themselves, so he doesn't have to worry about the lack of salt in the future.

During the investigation, he found a lot of plants, peppers, eggplants, cabbage, and potatoes. As long as he saw them, he would mark them, and then he would bring the dragon knight, the dragon map, and the moon. The four should dig. Pick what should be picked, and sweep away more than half of it, then pull the full flatbed truck and return excitedly.

Today, Pan Xiaoguo's yard has been filled to two-thirds. The stinky grass, tooth tree, sun fruit, lettuce, these kinds of plants that were planted first have basically survived, and the lettuce even shows signs of flowering and fruiting.Peppers, eggplants, cabbage, potatoes, and the newly planted ones have also begun to recover, with a little greenness. As long as it takes a while, Pan Xiaoguo knows that they will completely take root and sprout in his yard, and the result...

According to the method taught by Pan Xiaoguo, Yue also planted some around her home. The effect is so good that many non-orcs have started to learn it. Those few ingredients are the most grown. As for peppers, only Pan Xiaoguo currently grows them.

These days, many people have started to talk to Pan Xiaoguo, and some even stopped to have a chat when they saw him. I have to say that Pan Xiaoguo's delicious food has bought them, at least no one will say anything about it. He's a foreign female, they'll call him Xiaoguo, or Knight, and even Ann isn't looking for trouble, and everything is going well.

Potato stew, chopped pepper fish head, slate eggplant, sweet and spicy cabbage, hot pepper scrambled eggs, fried potato chips... The delicacies have been passed down in the tribe one by one, and Linger now lives with Pan Xiaoguo and does not go home Well, if it weren't for Danz coming over from time to time, he wouldn't leave a step, and because of Linger, there would often be a dozen orc cubs and non-orc cubs gathering together in Pan Xiaoguo's yard, and they would often get Pan Xiaoguo's points For all kinds of fried snacks, Pan Xiaoguo was worried about them getting angry for their nutritional balance, so he even dried a bunch of dandelions, soaked them in hot water and drank them as tea when they ate them!

Dragon Knight did not go back to live in the house after the completion of the house. Instead, he generously moved his things to Pan Xiaoguo's yard. It was called protecting two non-orcs, but the truth is that most of Dragon Knight would Run into the kitchen.

Pan Xiaoguo has stored a lot of things, such as dried peppers, half a tank of potatoes, pickled lettuce, fish, meat, and cabbage that is easy to preserve, stacked three layers on the floor of the storage room!

Now, Pan Xiaoguo once again refused to go with the dragon knight, and walked alone in the forest. His goal this time was to find the staple food. He didn't expect to find it all at once, whether it was rice or wheat, or even beans. , so Pan Xiaoguo, who had been looking for two days and hadn't harvested anything yet, was not disappointed. He was still looking for and collecting newly discovered plants or wild vegetables!

Pan Xiaoguo is very happy today, not because of anything else, but because the bull horn he asked the old orc to polish yesterday was finished, and it was ground into the shape of a dagger according to his requirements. It is very light in the hand. Pan Xiaoguo tried Cutting vegetables, cutting meat, deboning, and even slashing a tree. Facts have proved that this thing is more useful than iron. Pan Xiaoguo is still wondering if he can meet a long-horned birch beast again!

The orc planet is very big, and the forest is very wide. Pan Xiaoguo, who went deeper and deeper, didn't realize that he was already a little far away from the tribe.

When he noticed it, he had to admit that he had lost his way, and he might be able to go back if he walked in the direction of the sun, but he didn't know how long he had walked, so he couldn't judge the position of the sun In the morning, he can find a way to the east, and at night, he can find a way to the west. Now that the sun is hanging, he can't guarantee that he can return to Tianlong accurately.

Pan Xiaoguo put down his back basket, took out a fruit from it, it was an apple-flavored green fruit he had found before, and started to eat it.While eating, look at the surrounding environment.

There are no hills or rocky cliffs around. The number 2 should be more pine wood, and there are some other plank trees growing in it. The low bushes grow sparsely, surrounded by various vines. He is sitting now On a small rock.

Pan Xiaoguo clapped his hands after eating the green fruit, looked at the surrounding trees, then lightly jumped onto the one that looked thicker and taller, and jumped from one branch to another, until the field of vision became wider, and then carefully looked around .

In front is an endless forest with undulating mountains. The terrain on the left is the same, but it seems to be a little less. There is faint smoke behind, which should be the direction of the tribe. Pan Xiaoguo jumped on another branch and looked at the tree that was just covered Behind the block, except for the mountains in the distance, the place nearer is very flat. The flat Pan Xiaoguo can see at a glance that there is a large yellow and green forest in front of it.

Jumping off the tree, carrying the basket on his back, Pan Xiaoguo quickly lifted his energy, used the lightness technique, and ran towards that direction. If he read correctly, it should be...

Nearly 1.5 meters in height, the leaves are thick, the rhizomes are thick, strong, and long, there are fallen flower spikes on the top, and several fish-shaped bracts grow in the middle, which are twice as large as those on the earth. Pan Xiaoguo excitedly broke off one, and tore off the wrapped leaves together with the brown beards. Looking at the golden bracts that were close together, she smiled and blossomed.

Finally, he found a kind of grain, although it was only corn, but he couldn't hold it back for a long time!

Polenta, corn rib soup, grilled corn, boiled corn, cornmeal cakes... Pan Xiaoguo was almost drooling thinking about it, backed up, backed up, backed up to a tree, jumped on it neatly, and looked at the big picture With nearly two to three hundred acres of natural cornfields, Pan Xiaoguo felt his mouth could burst with laughter.

Just as he was about to go down, he suddenly found a figure beside the cornfield on the other side. Pan Xiaoguo frowned, jumped down from the tree, and kept his breathing to a minimum. His steps were as light as a cat's, and he slowly moved over!

Dragon Knight hesitantly broke off a corn cob, squeezed it with his hands, and felt a little soft and a little hard. After thinking about it, he finally pushed it away, carefully scraped off a corn kernel with his thumb and index finger, and put it in his mouth , chewed it lightly, it was a little sweet, but also a little fragrant. If the pig dragon beast can eat it, it should be non-toxic. I don't know if this is the staple food that Pan Xiaoguo has been looking for.

He remembered that Pan Xiaoguo said it, but it didn't quite look like it. The corn Pan Xiaoguo mentioned seemed to have only one corn cob, and the height and color were not quite right, but Dragon Knight still reached out and broke off a few, ready to take it back for Pan Xiaoguo See if you can eat it. He has hunted a lot of wild animals with Pan Xiaoguo recently, and there is no shortage of food at home, so he pays special attention to whether there are any edible things that Pan Xiaoguo said.As for prey, it's okay to miss hunting for a day or two.

"Dragon Knight!"

That's great, you don't have to worry about not being able to go back, and you don't have to worry about something else coming to grab food from him. Pan Xiaoguo heaved a sigh of relief and jumped down from a tree not far away.

Dragon Knight looked at Pan Xiaoguo, then at the tree, wondering why he didn't notice his approach?

"Why are you here?"

"...I want to go into the forest and find something!"

What you said is edible, of course Dragon Knight will not tell Pan Xiaoguo, even if Pan Xiaoguo asks.

"Oh, it's great that you are here, by the way, you see so much here, I said corn! Let's go back quickly and pull the flatbed truck over 1"

"Now?"

The dragon knight looked at the already crooked sun. It was three or four o'clock in the afternoon. Now go back and come back and go back again. It may be very late!

"……What's wrong?"

"Hey, it's too late today, haven't you noticed that the sun is already westward? Let's take some back first, and come here early tomorrow 1"

Pan Xiaoguo looked up, it seemed that it was a bit late, no wonder his stomach kept growling!

"Okay, let's take some back first, have you brought a basket?"

Pan Xiaoguo prepared a big basket for Dragon Knight, and told him to bring it back for him to see if he saw something similar to what he said!

"Bring it, it's in the back, but it may not hold much. I just found a fruit forest and picked a lot!"

There are still some in it, I don't know if it can be eaten, but he picks all the ones that are not poisonous!

"Fruit? That's great. It looks like we're lucky today. It's okay. Just pick a few and take them home. Let Long Zhan tomorrow, and Long Tu asks a few orcs to come and break the corn. This stuff is very easy to keep, and it's good. Eat and keep full, such a big piece, may be busy for several days!"

Pan Xiaoguo was thinking excitedly, even his eyes were shining, Dragon Knight was dumbfounded for the first time in the past ten days, maybe he should ask his father what happened to him?

"Let's hurry up, go back and tell Uncle Long Xiao, such a large area should be enough for all the families of the tribe!"

Pan Xiaoguo pounced on it by himself and began to break it up. Some were tender and juicy, and some were half-old and not tender. Pan Xiaoguo left the fire to roast, and a lot of old corn fell to the ground, and the corn kernels were scattered by some animal. One place, but Pan Xiaoguo is very happy about this situation, so that they don't need to sow seeds specially, and the corn will continue to grow here!

Dragon Knight was equally happy. Pan Xiaoguo was always thinking about the tribe. Even at the beginning, he didn't blame An. He could still smile when they saw each other. I have to say that he was not as good as Pan Xiaoguo. She won't have a good face, even if Ann has become very quiet recently, she seems to have grown up a lot.

The two said they only picked a dozen or so, but they filled their baskets to the brim. Thanks to the strong weaving of the baskets, otherwise, they would have been stretched or crushed long ago.

"Dragon Knight, let me tell you, the corn is delicious, especially..."

Along the way, Pan Xiaoguo never stopped eating, and Dragon Knight didn't feel bored, on the contrary, he felt that this kind of getting along was very good!Well, he hoped that the way back to the clan would be farther away!

"Brother Guo, you're finally back, I'm so hungry!"

As soon as she reached the door of Dragon Knight's new house, Ling'er jumped and ran towards Pan Xiaoguo with an aggrieved expression on her face!

Danzi smiled helplessly, "Xiaoguo, Linger, you should take this child away, I even start to dislike my cooking, I have to wait for you to come back to cook at noon!"

"Ling'er, this is not good, how can you not eat?"

"Brother Xiaoguo, I ate, just... I just didn't eat a lot!"

Ling'er lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Well, Ling'er can't be like this in the future," Pan Xiaoguo took Ling'er's hand and walked towards the door.

Dragon Knight's newly built house is very big. Pan Xiaoguo and Dragon Knight agreed to have dinner at Dragon Knight's house today, and by the way, tell Long Xiao about the cornfield. And Danz they try corn.

"Uncle Danz, let me cook today, I brought back good things!"

"What's so delicious?"

Danz is used to it, every time Pan Xiaoguo enters the forest, there will be something delicious to eat.Surprising every time!

"This time, this is really delicious, and it can be eaten as a staple food in the future! Dragon Knight, put it here 1"

Pan Xiaoguo put down the basket on his back, motioned for the Dragon Knight to put it there, and then directly poured out the corn from the basket, went into the kitchen familiarly and brought out some bamboo baskets he had woven.

Dragon Knight also imitated Pan Xiaoguo and went straight down, but he had fruit in it, so when he poured it out, Pan Xiaoguo became stupid!

peach?banana?Longan?That round skin is a watermelon, right?

"Dragon Knight, why don't you say that you are looking for these fruits?"

Pan Xiaoguo looked at the crushed peaches and bananas with distress, but the longan and watermelon were not damaged at all!

"I don't know these, so..." I didn't care!

"Brother Guo, what are these! This one is so big, it looks like a ball!"

Ling'er squatted on the ground, asked Pan Xiaoguo, poked the watermelon curiously, and watched the watermelon roll around!

"Uncle Danz, can you bring some plates here, some fruits are still edible, Dragon Knight, do you remember where you found these things?"

"Know!"

"Great, let's pick it in a few days! No, let's go and have a look tomorrow!"

What if it becomes rotten in a few days!Go early, Pan Xiaoguo checked out the intact and broken peaches and bananas, the longan was half the size of a small fist, Pan Xiaoguo also put them aside, Danzi came out with a stone basin, and saw that they were piled together The fruit, just help to put it in!

There are not many fruits, just a little, Pan Xiaoguo told Danzi to wash and how to eat after picking it up, Linger peeled the banana, opened his small mouth, aww, took a big mouthful, Pan Xiaoguo picked a longan and found that the taste was not so good!The watermelon was not broken, Danzi meant that when Long Xiao and the priest came, we should try it together, Pan Xiaoguo didn't care, he ate too much of it.

After eating the fruit, several people gathered together to peel the corn as taught by Pan Xiaoguo. Ling'er was studying the corn she peeled from the beginning to the end. The dragon knight was very fast. Danzi and Pan Xiaoguo peeled the corn while talking. By the time the peeling was done, it was almost too late.

Pan Xiaoguo put part of the tender corn directly into the stone pot, poured a large pot of water into it, let Danzi cook it, washed the old ones a little, put a sharpened stick in the middle of the corn, and let the dragon knight Set up a bonfire in the yard and save it for the night.

Others, cut into sections and stewed with piglong beast meat into a big pot dish, add stinky grass, tooth wood, sun fruit, salt, and a little coriander, put them in the pot and hand them over to Danzi cook.

For the last few remaining, Pan Xiaoguo took a little effort to rub off the corn kernels, cut the rabbit meat into small pieces, stir-fried directly, added a lot of yang juice, put it on the stone board, and pressed it with bamboo slices After cooling down, it became a big whole piece. Linger was greedy, so Pan Xiaoguo slipped a triangular piece with a knife and gave it to him to eat.

Dragon Knight stood to the side and stared silently. Pan Xiaoguo's head was full of black lines. In the end, the four of them, including Danzi, ate together.
