Searching for food through the beast world

sweet stone

In the evening of that day, Ding Xiao, a stuffed cub, was lying in his tent, rubbing his stomach and eating hawthorn fruit.

This hawthorn fruit was collected by Kun yesterday when he was hunting.Although the outer skin is a bit shriveled, but because the hawthorn here is quite big, with a diameter of about four to five centimeters, this does not affect the texture and taste inside.This oversized hawthorn is much more delicious than the basket that I and my father picked in the safe area when we were in the village.The first is that it is not so sour, and the second is that the seeds inside are relatively small, and the meat is thick enough and soft enough.This kind of fruit is most suitable for making hawthorn cake and hawthorn jam.

Thinking of the jelly roots still in his basket, Ding Xiao immediately sat up and got out of the tent.Next to Kun who was adding firewood by the campfire, Ding Xiao asked with a big hawthorn fruit, "Is this still picked?"

Kun nodded: "Yes. There are four trees over there. There are still many left on the trees. You want me to pick them now."

Looking at the sky, it should be about an hour away from complete darkness.Ding Xiao decided: "Is it far? If it's not far, I want to go too."

Kun thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, but you can't run around without me."

The corner of Ding Xiao's mouth twitched: "Am I like someone running around?"

Kun shook his head: "It's not like that. But the depths of Aomori will be dangerous at any time. But with me by my side, few wild animals will approach. You can rest assured."

Although I saw Dianlang with my own eyes before, I also saw the injury Kun suffered when hunting alone.But from Ding Xiao's point of view, being well protected by everyone made him never see the real danger in the forest.So he was really relieved to hear what Kun said. "Then I'll get the bag."

When Jing and Luxi heard that Ding Xiao and Kun were going to pick hawthorn fruits, they immediately signed up to go.Originally, Kun wanted to be alone with Xiaoxiao, but considering that this is the depths of Aomori, he will not be able to return to the territory of the Winged Tiger Clan until tomorrow. Come back early after finishing, I guess Xiaoxiao is going to make something delicious again.

Those four hawthorn trees were indeed not too far away from where they lived tonight, at the beast-like speed of a Maverick male, it was only 2 minutes away.Ding Xiao felt that it was as if he had just got on the tiger's back and was blown by the wind, and then he came down to the place.This speed can be used to get used to in just a few days, I really have a good physique! (--)

Although the hawthorn fruit is very large, this tree is a normal hawthorn tree.The highest part of the canopy is not much higher than Kun.With Ding Xiao's size, he can pick a lot of people.This made the three small half-orc cubs very happy.

The leaves on the fruit tree have withered and fallen to the ground, so the remaining fruits on the tree are extremely easy to find.Ding Xiao observed that besides the rotten fruits, there were some traces of being "gnawed" by insects and birds. It is estimated that more fruits were taken away by other small animals and stored for the winter. Bar.But what was left was enough for him.It's just a jar of hawthorn jelly, and half hawthorn and half jelly root don't take much.

Muwa was selected by Beijing to take up the post of "mountain", which made him proud instantly.So much so that when Jing rode on his back, the tiger flicked its tail, not to mention how happy it was.But at this moment, seeing the intimate appearance of the two couples, he was moved, so he moved to Jing's side, and looked at Jing while picking fruits.The more he looked at it, the more he felt good-looking, and the more he looked at it, the more flustered and hot his face became.But before he got any closer, Jing suddenly turned his head: "I said, do you have something to say when you get so close?"

Waffle froze.Then he nodded vigorously: "Yeah! I heard from Kun that you like rocks very much. I picked up a few when I went out hunting today. Let me show you?" picked up.He is very grateful to Boss Kun for his "promotion".Although he couldn't understand why those three guys suddenly grabbed Jing with him after living in the cave, but anyway, he was the protector personally recognized by Jing's father, and Boss Kun provided him with gossip. Those three people are definitely not my opponents! (--b)

After Ding Xiao was "poisoned" by eating stones, Jing still resisted picking up stones for a while.Even though the priest later said that the stone was a good medicine, and asked him to take it to the river to search for it for several days, he didn't slow down.It was the way Ding Xiao didn't say a word at that time, and suddenly fell to the ground, which frightened him.But this time their stone hairpins were very popular in the winter market, and the prices of the silver hairpins of the Golden Lion Clan couldn't be checked much.So Muwa said that there are stones for him, and his interest rose. "Where is it? Show me!" If it looks good, you can still make things when you go back!Those beautiful stones these days are not just collectibles kept just because they look good.

Ding Xiao looked at Jing with a happy expression on his face and pulled the stones spread out in the palm of the shingle. Originally, he wanted to tease Luxi about the virtues of the young cub Jing's little daughter-in-law.As a result, his eyes swept away, and Tianyan immediately gave him a reminder.Among the few stones on the shingle, there was a dark red one that was actually edible!

The stone has no name, but it has the properties of hot, sweet, and non-toxic. It also has the effects of warming the five internal organs, nourishing qi and blood, and refreshing the mind.Stones...can be eaten?This was Ding Xiao's first reaction, but after reflecting on the process of his own celestial eyes, he calmed down.In this world, who knows what can be eaten and what can't be eaten, that is something that absolutely does not need to be judged by one's own experience in the previous life.With the display of the eye of the sky, at least it proves that this thing can definitely be imported.As for the taste, you have to try it to know.

Seeing Ding Xiao approaching, Jing hurriedly greeted: "Look, Xiaoxiao, here are a few stones that are very beautiful in color, and the hairpins are sure to be very beautiful. I didn't give it to her when I asked for it from my aunt before. This time I went back to make a gift. She, she will definitely stop nagging my grandma."

Luxi also came over at this time: "Who told you not to send all your relatives at the beginning." Fortunately, my mother has no sisters but brothers, a sister and aunt from an uncle's family, and a younger sister from an uncle's family. Auntie, the others are all males and half-orcs, and he made one by himself as early as the very beginning.You must know that females have always cared about things that can be decorated beautifully.Although I don't really understand it, and I don't think there is anything particularly good-looking, but I prefer their short hair like half-orcs, but it is also a kind of recognition for my family to like it.

When Ding Xiao picked up the dark red piece from Muwa's hand, he thought about it for a while, and finally decided to tell Kun.So he turned his head: "Kun, this stone should be edible."

Regardless of other people's reactions, Kun immediately gave the answer: "Don't eat!"

Ding Xiao curled his lips, he knew it would be like this.But why do you feel numb when you hear Kun say these three words to yourself with a straight face?Do you have M tendencies?This is impossible!I will be afraid of pain or something.Pooh!What the hell are you thinking!Now it's a question of stones, a question of stones! ! "But this one is really edible. It's not poisonous."

Jing quickly snatched the stone away: "Pull it down! I was scared to death last time. Do you want to do it again?" He took it under his nose and smelled it, and it didn't smell at all!

Luxi and Feng also obviously disagree with Ding Xiao's statement.Ding Xiao immediately made a bitter face: "But, the stone I ate last time was not poisonous, the priests said it was good medicine!" After speaking, he turned his head to look at Kun, seeing the serious eyes of this guy, his heart beat immediately .It's really... It's easy to get a heart attack if you understand your mind! ! (You really don't deserve sympathy.)

Just when Kun was thinking about whether to throw away the stone or take Xiaoxiao away, Brother Muwa suddenly made a mistake.In fact, Ting Ding Xiao said that he wanted to try this stone because he could eat it. After all, he didn't know that Ding Xiao passed out for three days after eating a stone last time.People without shadows are always much easier.Seeing that the atmosphere of the big guy seemed very dignified, he took the stone from Jing's hand, put it directly into his mouth, and said while swallowing, "Well, what's the matter with the stone, I don't think it's poisonous. "Attempt to ease the atmosphere.

The hard stone entrance doesn't feel like it's edible.But after a while, Muwa felt that the stone tasted really good.He tried to bite, and his eyes widened immediately. "This pot, Zunsu is so rough!" It was only after he finished expressing his opinions vaguely that he realized that the five people were frowning and staring at him, making his hair stand on end.Quickly swallowed the sweet stone, then stammered and asked, "Why... why are you doing this, look, look at me?"

Ding Xiao now admires Brother Muwa's "sacrifice" spirit. Although he rescued himself on the way to the second crime, at least it proved that the stone is not poisonous, and according to Muwa, the taste is quite good, and the taste is sweet. Yes, it has a little taste of jujube, but it doesn't look like it.In short, the sweetness in the mouth can stay for a long time after eating, and the whole person feels very comfortable.

Although everyone except Ding Xiao looked at the stone coldly at the last moment, at this moment, everyone including Ding Xiao complained.Seeing the radiant look of the shingle after eating the stone, it should be really delicious!It's a pity that there is only one piece, and they can't even taste it after being eaten.

Jing put his hips on his hips: "Where did you pick up that stone? Is there any more?" Seeing the good looks on this fool's face, I really wanted to beat him up.

Muwa nodded: "There are a lot of them. I found this stone on the hillside when I was hunting bent-horned sheep. There are many small red stones like this on the big bluestone there. I saw it brought back in a round shape. I didn’t expect the taste to be quite good.” I accidentally picked up such a remarkable thing!

Everyone's eyes lit up immediately.Kun immediately made a decision: "Hurry up to pick the fruit, and go pick up the red stone immediately after picking." Since it is definitely not poisonous, Xiaoxiao wants to eat it, of course I have to get it for him.Well, although the wooden tile guy was a little stunned, he was still very useful. (Hey, your way of thinking is so hated!)

When Ding Xiao saw the dark red oval "stones" on the rocks, he felt that it should be a kind of plant, not a real stone.When he felt a little resistance when he picked up the "rock" from the stone, he was sure that his guess was right.Think about it, too, where is the stone stuck to another stone, piece by piece?

Kun was the first to pick up the stone and put it in his mouth. Before Ding Xiao had time to tell you to wipe the surface first.But seeing Kun's expression after chewing, he can be sure that this big guy must like it very much.His eyes narrowed slightly.However, can you not hand it to your mouth?Although this act of "feeding" oneself was very common in the past, but now...it feels quite different!In fact, it has nothing to do with embarrassment, shyness or anything like that. Smiling at this thing that has become natural can basically calm his mind automatically. What is depressed about him now is... It is impossible to wipe this stone before eating it.inner cow.

Fortunately, there is no stone bump attached to the stone, so it tastes good except that it is not too crisp.Well, the taste is really good, a little hard at first, but it gets softer as you chew.It does have the taste of red dates, but it is more like chocolate, and it is dark chocolate, so sweet that it is not overwhelming or greasy at all, and there is a faint grassy fragrance, which is indeed a plant.

After the others tried it, they all became interested in the red stone.Especially Luxi, who ate five yuan in one sitting before asking his peak for water. "I didn't expect such a delicious stone! I just want to drink water after eating too much." I didn't think it was too sweet when I first started eating it, but it changed after eating too much in one go.

Ding smiled and moved the corner of his mouth: "Eating too much sweet will cause toothache." Although I don't know if this law is useful to the orcs in this world.But this thing is hot, it is definitely not suitable to eat more.

Hearing the toothache, Luxi immediately frowned. "Then I'll eat less." He can't forget the toothache he felt when he changed his teeth at the age of 15, and now thinking about it, he still wants to cover his cheeks.

Seeing Luxi's expression, Ding Xiao couldn't help snickering.After carefully observing this red "stone" again, he decided to collect half of it, not because he didn't want to take more, but because he couldn't tell what it was and how it grew.However, regardless of whether it is fission or mycelial reproduction, the "seed" must always be kept. "There are quite a lot of these stones, let's just pick up half of them." Suddenly thinking of the texture and taste similar to chocolate, his eyes lit up.Well, it can be chewed until it melts in the mouth, so it must be soluble in water.Then go back and get another chocolate parfait!
