Searching for food through the beast world

wild fruit

Ding Xiao reluctantly followed Kun and left his home.Holding a hunting fork in his hand and carrying a bamboo basket on his back, this is the most standard configuration for a half-orc to go to the forest.But obviously Kun's configuration is much higher than his.The guy also has a big basket behind him.Inside was a large piece of brown-gray animal hide.There are also two flints the size of his palm.Vegetable salt and pepper powder are packed in small pockets sewn with animal hides.There is also a bundle of straw ropes woven from several vines.The pottery pot occupies half of the big bamboo basket.The only thing he didn't see was any tools for making stone mills.But forget it, anyway, if you can't make it, you can use the small one at home for the time being. If these people think that the "noodles" they make are acceptable, there must be many people who will make big stone mills.

Since the two left the village too early, they saw the four orcs guarding the gate from Ding Xiao's house to the entrance of the village.This also avoided causing a large-scale commotion, after all, this death-faced paralysis was just a young boy's dream.As long as she thinks of this, Xiaoxiao will be relieved of being disturbed in her dream early this morning.

Ding Xiao is a little embarrassed now, because no matter how hard he tries, he can't break free from the big paw holding his left hand.But I protested twice, but the paralyzed face didn't respond, especially the look in my eyes, as if I was making trouble for no reason. "I said, brother, have you figured out where there is a stone big enough to make a stone mill? Or should I go find pearl fruit first?"

Kun thought for a while: "Let's go east. There are big rocks at the foot of the mountain. There are also many kinds of fruits beside it."

Ding Xiao now has nothing else to say except nodding.But along the way, he still escaped from the control of Kun's big hand on the grounds of digging wild vegetables.All the ginger that Joan dug before was sent to the vine, so Ding Xiao must dig some today.There are also more garlic and shallots.As for all kinds of wild vegetables, there are a lot of wild vegetables that can be picked now, but those are all things to do on the way back.He didn't want to walk around in the woods with a few green Chinese cabbages on his back, it was too heavy and his physical strength was not enough.

The road that Kun took was obviously not a place where people often walked.Some weeds are tall enough to exceed Ding Xiao's ribs, but also because of this, Ding Xiao found several familiar plants on the road.Sesame, jasmine, mint, lemongrass, chives, chrysanthemum.These things grow in the forest, and they are covered by weeds in patches. They look inconspicuous at all, but in Ding Xiao's eyes, they are extremely familiar and kind.These flowers and grass not only have his memory of modern society, but their aroma can also be eaten into the stomach.

Ding Xiao likes jasmine very much. There are many flower pots on the balcony of his house, but except for the three pots of jasmine, the others are prickly pears.So even though the jasmine flowers here were much bigger than his memory, the smell and the appearance of the flowers and leaves reminded him of the two-story building in his house.I don't know what to do with my "inheritance". If I knew it would be time-traveled, I might as well write a will in advance and leave it to Ding Jun.

Seeing Ding Xiao squatting on the ground staring blankly at a weed with white flowers, Kun frowned. "Smile, dig it back if you like it."

Ding Xiao came back to his senses and nodded: "I'll dig it when I come back. I want to plant it in the yard. These flowers are very fragrant, and I like them very much. There are other kinds that I want to plant in the yard too." This way, you don’t have to go to the woods when you want to use it.” After several days of “investigation”, he knows that there is no large-scale planting and animal husbandry in this world yet.However, the general priests and the village chief will arrange for the villagers to plant the most commonly eaten pickles, peppers, and spicy beans near the village.It is also because meat is an absolute staple food in the orc world, so they have been hoarding meat desperately before winter. Vegetables and fruits have not been valued because they cannot be stored for a long time. Naturally, there is no need to plant them on a large scale That's it.

Kun has no objection to these at all, but he has already remembered in his heart the types of grass that Ding Xiao just pointed out (for him, everything is grass except trees), and he will plant all kinds of grass beside the house he built. These things, smiling like this will definitely make you very happy! "Is there anything else you want?"

In fact, there are really many strange plants around, some of which have flowers and fruits that I have never seen before.Ding Xiao is very curious about these things. Of course, this curiosity is based on the special emotion in the soul of the Chinese people for eating, and Ding Xiao’s dissatisfaction with the monotonous seasoning of the food in this place. "Kun, do you know which of these fruits are edible?"

Kun nodded: "I know. But these fruits are too small. If you want to eat fruits, I will pick big ones for you."

Ding Xiao shook his head: "I don't want to eat it, I just want to try the taste. Just tell me which one won't be poisoned to death!"

Ding Xiao is holding a leaf of a big tree in his hand, and there are more than eighty kinds of small fruits on the leaf.The smallest one is about the same as a soybean grain, and the largest one is only about five centimeters in diameter.These are the fruits that grow on small plants, and they are all edible and non-toxic according to Kunzhai.

Beasts have an instinctive feeling for food, especially the primitive orcs who live in the jungle. Males can sometimes tell whether animals and plants are edible by smell.So Ding Xiao felt that it was quite right to come out with Kun today. If he came out with Abba and Jing Luxi, half-orcs would not have the sensory abilities of orcs.

This small green fruit tastes a bit bitter, with a grass-like fragrance, and after bitterness, it returns to sweetness.Ding Xiao felt that this thing might be able to temporarily replace tea leaves.So he named himself Chaguo.

This small orange fruit looks like a lantern fruit, and it looks crystal clear in the sun.It's a pity that it doesn't taste at all, but it's full of water. It should be able to quench your thirst when you lack water, but it's really not worth eating.

The dark brown oval guy smelled fishy, ​​Ding Xiao swallowed a mouthful, and then spit it out.This thing is so astringent, it's really unpalatable!Pick it out and throw it all away!

This purple diamond-shaped fruit tastes good, sweet and sour, but the core is too big, and the pulp and peel only account for [-]% of the fruit.

After eating this Laizhong fruit from beginning to end, Ding Xiao finally decided to pick more tea fruits, and there is also a fruit that tastes similar to soy sauce.This kind of fruit is about the size of a mature Kyoho grape. There is no core inside, and the lavender juice is very full.It tastes salty and fragrant, but there will be a strong sweet taste in the mouth after these.This thing made Ding Xiao feel very miraculous, and he named this nameless fruit Soy Sauce Fruit.Although I don't know how to grow this kind of fruit, but pickles can grow, and a fruit with the same salty taste is not surprising.

The rest of the fruits had different tastes, but most of them were sweet and sour. He threw away the occasional bitter ones, and some were slightly spicy.Ding Xiao temporarily kept these acceptable flavors, maybe he can take them back to make barbecue sauce or something, anyway, it’s not bad, and maybe there will be a magical fusion when put together.

Kun built the stone mill so fast that Ding Xiao couldn't believe it.He didn't have any hope at first. After seeing those huge rocks, his first thought was how to polish such a big one!There is not even iron in this world.But he didn't know that the orc male's sharp claws were sharper and harder than any iron weapon.Kun easily adjusted the shape of the rocks with his sharp claws.It took an hour of effort, and the two upper and lower millstones were tightly fastened together. Kun even tested it by turning it back and forth twice, and felt that it was not smooth enough, and then came two more claws, and finally he was satisfied.

Ding Xiao watched the whole production process, during which he can be regarded as not even blinking his eyes, for fear of missing this rare spectacle.After Kun finished, Ding Xiao couldn't help applauding: "It's amazing!!" It doesn't matter whether there is such a thing as applause in this world, or what the applause means.

Fortunately, the applause here also meant praise, and a smile appeared on Kun's face, which was a little clearer than before. "Smile, let's pick pearl fruit."

Only then did Ding Xiao think of their second major theme task today.What a shame, to be dumbfounded just looking at stones! "Let's pick a piece each, it's around, and there's no danger."

Kun glanced at Ding Xiao, then nodded.Put all the things in his basket on the stone mill, then carry the empty basket on his back, and start looking for traces of pearl fruit nearby.

Pearl fruit is actually very easy to find, you just have to pick them one by one. It doesn't take much effort, but the skin on your hands will not be so easy.But out of Kun's sight, Ding Xiao can take out his saber, so that the damage to his hand will be minimized.

Just as he was looking for pearl fruit and bending over to pick fruit branches, he suddenly heard movement in the grass.This made him nervous at the time.Although this is a safe area around the village, that doesn't mean that there are no pervasive objects like snakes.There are no big ones, but who stipulates that all small ones are harmless?

But in an instant, Ding Xiao was completely relieved.Arching around in the grass is a plump fat pheasant, with its long tail dragging on the ground, swaying as it walks, its wings don't look small, but judging by its clumsy posture, it doesn't seem to be too big It looks like it can fly.

Estimated the weight and danger of this chicken.Ding Xiao decided to try the feeling of hunting with a hunting fork.Although I haven't learned any essentials yet, there won't be too much difference in the way of fishing, right?But it is the key to the four words of fast, accurate, steady, and hate.Anyway, if you can hit it, it's not a big deal to pull it down.So he poured all his strength into his right hand, saw the direction and threw the hunting fork all at once.In fact, this action was the same as the last time he hit the big white bird with a stone. He was just trying to rely on luck.But this time after he threw the hunting fork out, he immediately felt something different.Considering the weight and length of the hunting fork, the speed of throwing it was obviously not the strength that he could have before.Could it be said that one side supports the other side?I am now eating the food here and drinking the water here, so the strength has become stronger?Of course, these questions didn't stay for too long, because the fat chicken was accurately nailed to the ground by Ding Xiao.

Seeing the blood oozing from the chicken's neck, Ding Xiao touched his chin, which hadn't shown any sign of growing a beard for ten days. It seems that he still has a little talent for hunting!Of course, this may also be God's special treatment for time travelers?He stepped forward and pulled out the hunting fork to pick up the fat chicken, weighed it, and it was only about three catties, probably not enough for that big fellow Kun to stuff his teeth.It's enough food for a day for me.Thinking of the issue of rations, Ding Xiao's eyes suddenly brightened.Well, let’s just make a primitive and simple version of Beggar’s Chicken at noon, it should look good too.In a while, Kun will have to light the fire, and I am still not proficient in using flint.
