Searching for food through the beast world

There are lotus root in the mud

The lake with lotus flowers is not too far from Tianhe Village, at the foot of a mountain about two kilometers north of Xiacun.The lake looks very big, and Ding Xiao couldn't estimate the exact area, but he thought it would take at least a day to swim to the other side with his dog paddle.You can still see traces of residual lotus near the shore. Ding Xiao thinks that if luck is not too bad, he should find lotus root, right?Whatever it is, the priest is right, if you can find it, it's a gift from the beast god, if you can't find it, it's just a joke.Anyway, the person who goes into the water must not be himself.He felt that he would let himself go down to touch the lotus root unless Kun, who accompanied him, had his head flooded.

You ask why Ding Xiao has such confidence?That's not because being "disciplined" will become a habit. Kun's exhortation to always take care of his own health has become much stricter than before since he was "poisoned".Alas, sometimes even Father and Father are not as fussy as he is.However, the depth of this lake is definitely deeper than the big river near the village just by looking at the water near the shore. Although the place with residual lotus is not deep in the middle of the lake, I don’t know the underwater terrain. Who knows? Where there is a pit, there is a bag!He didn't want to commit suicide at all, this was a life he managed to survive!Not to mention that there are fathers, fathers, and Kun here.Well, it’s good to have Kun. Recently, besides the mutton and beef I often eat, there are also many delicious fruits sent by Kun.Hehe, the most important thing is that Kun got a lot of sesame seeds for himself, which was as much as a half-sized clay pot.In this way, you can grind the sesame paste and press out the sesame oil yourself!

Not only Kun, but also three other male orcs from the village accompanied him.One is called Lian, and Kun said that he should be called Uncle Lian, because he is two hundred years old and older than Dad.It's just that in Ding Xiao's view, these orcs who are one to two hundred or even more than 300 years old are about the same as three or 40 years old in his own eyes.The genes of this world are really terrifying and enviable!

Another is the captain of the village patrol team, named Ge Zhong.Kun said that Ge Zhong was the same age as the sacrificial priest, both 190 and [-] years old.In the past, he grew up with the sacrificial priest, but the sacrificial priest never married, and Ge Zhong never found a partner.Everyone in the village said that Ge Zhong was waiting for the sacrifice.

The last was Mo, a 73-year-old juvenile male.He is currently a member of the village patrol team and has a good relationship with Kun.

Ding Xiao felt more and more that under Kun's paralyzed expression, there must be a heart of gossip.Otherwise, how could he tell himself about the "ambiguous" history between the priest and Uncle Ge Zhong?Sure enough, people can't be judged by their appearance, right?Also, the way of thinking of this big guy has not been deeply understood by me, and maybe there will be more discoveries in the future.

There are many Mavericks who know how to swim, but few who are really good at swimming.Lian and Mo are the best swimmers in Tianhe Village, so they are the main labor force.Brother Kun's water skills are also good, so entering the water to participate in the battle is a must.And Ge Zhong was in charge of holding the vines on the shore.In any case, safety is the most important thing. No matter how powerful the orcs are, they cannot be foolproof. The principle of the priest is not to be afraid of [-] but just in case. Therefore, Ge Zhong, who is not good at water but has great strength, must be brought.According to Ding Xiao's words, this is a movable intelligent pillar tied with a safety rope!

Ding Xiao doesn't know how many lotus roots are in the mud, let alone whether there are lotus roots here, so he is looking forward to it 12 times like the vines on the shore.Fortunately, with the height of the males, the place where there is residual load only reaches about their waist.Just want to bend down to touch the lotus root, sometimes it is inevitable to hold your breath.Ding Xiao really has no idea. Firstly, he is worried about the danger of holding his breath, and secondly, he feels that if there is nothing, everyone's work will be wasted.Fortunately, it didn't take long for Mo to be the first to straighten up, holding a black thing that looked like an arm in his hand.Ding Xiao knew from a distance that it must be lotus root!

Seeing the harvest, the three people on the shore were very happy.Teng asked Mo to quickly bring that thing over.After Ding Xiao cleaned it and appraised it, Tianyan quickly admitted the property of the broken root.But the dirty part is not usable.At least Ding Xiao definitely didn't want to eat it.

After getting an affirmative answer, Mo worked harder.Especially when I heard Ding Xiao say that I should be careful.After that, don't break the lotus root so easily, he scratched the back of his head and nodded quickly. "Well. I'll be more careful."

Ding Xiao smiled at Mo, very happy, of course because of the lotus root, who doesn't like it.But he really doesn't know how to store the lotus root, but he still knows that even in his previous life, not all places in the Celestial Dynasty produced lotus root every month, so there is no certain way to keep the lotus root fresh.It's getting cold anyway.Let's dig it back first.If it is not possible, it can be made into lotus root powder, which is also very nutritious.

Brother Kun is in a bad mood at this moment.Because he saw Ding Xiao smiled at Mo Mo.Could it be because Mo first touched the lotus root?Hateful!So next, Brother Kun behaved extremely bravely. The lotus root dug out is called a complete one, which is called a quality and quantity guarantee.When Ding Xiao saw these lotus root being delivered one by one, the size was very high, so he quickly stopped. "All right, all right, don't dig. It's cold now, and the water is quite cold, so hurry up and enjoy the fire. These lotus roots are enough for now, and I don't know how long they can be stored."

Teng also nodded after hearing this: "If you can't preserve it, you can't dig it up and store it for the winter. If you make too much, you will waste the food given by the beast god."

Ding Xiao quickly passed Kun's clothes over, and took a piece of linen to wipe the water off Kun's face. "Is the water cold? Fortunately, I brought a pottery pot before I came here. You can take a sip of hot water to drink first. I'll wash two lotus root right now, and then make soup for you to taste."

Brother Kun is very satisfied, Xiaoxiao still cares about himself the most!So what if Mo touched the first lotus root?Xiaoxiao still only wipes water for herself, and only scoops water for herself to drink! "Males are not afraid of the cold, so don't worry. You should also drink two more sips of hot water. It will be cold even if you stand by the water. You are not in good health yet."

Ding Xiao raised his forehead: "Brother, I'm really well! I'm definitely in great shape, and it tastes delicious! Don't say I'm still not well, okay? Psychological hints are easy to have sequelae!"

Kun will definitely be stubborn: "You still eat too little, how can you be fine if you eat less. Also, what is the psychological hint?" Anyway, in his heart, Xiaoxiao eats too little. If he eats two green and red fruits, he will eat half of the meat when he eats.This is not good, it is very sad to be so thin in winter.

"The psychological implication is that you always say that I am not in good health. Maybe I am obviously in good health and think you are right, so I become in bad health." Ding Xiao couldn't laugh or cry, but he believed that Kun really didn't like it. Hope I'm not feeling well, so these words may or may not be of any use.

Sure enough, Brother Kun frowned immediately. "Okay. Then I will say that you are in good health every day, and you can eat two more pieces of meat. Can you gain weight quickly?"

The corners of Ding Xiao's mouth twitched: "Big... Maybe it's okay. But gaining weight doesn't necessarily mean good health."

Kun shook his head: "With more meat, winter will be easier."

Ding Xiao really wanted to tell Kun that this is a fallacy.The thickness of fat has nothing to do with how cold your body feels.It might be better to say that because of gaining weight, the area where you can feel the cold has also become larger, and it may not necessarily be more sad.Humans don't have thick fur to resist the cold, and they have to rely on eating every day to increase their calories. How about they eat a lot of things and hibernate like wild animals!

Oh no, the males here are half beasts.Sigh, I'm really envious, jealous and hateful, it's cold in winter, if Kun turns into a big black tiger, it will be very warm, but it should be scary too... Are there any giant teeth and fangs?He felt that he was still looking forward to it.Up to now, he has only seen Father's animal body, and he was so scared that he fainted from only one side.sweat.

Ge Zhong didn't go into the water to endure the cold, so he naturally took on the task of lunch during the hunt.Ding Xiao is looking forward to catching a sharp-toothed pig so that he can make lotus root soup with pork ribs.It's just that not everyone can do what he wants at any time like his father and brother Kun.

What Ge Zhong caught was a badger about the size of a wild boar.Although it wasn't as huge as the Toothy Pig, if it was just a lunch, six of them would be enough. Anyway, there should be nothing left except skin and bones.Ding Xiao secretly wiped his forehead, fortunately he has a small appetite.

Two large earthen pots were cooked with stewed badger meat with lotus root slices and simple badger meat.The four badger legs were still roasted, and Kun contributed his own barbecue sauce, which Ding Xiao specially made for him, so that he could carry it when hunting.

Speaking of the sauce jar, Ding Xiaorang Kun made it out of a thicker bamboo tube like Laoganma’s hot sauce. It looks clumsy, but it’s very practical to use. It can hold a lot at a time. Anyway, it’s also for sauce. Yes, there is no need to worry about whether the color and taste will be stained.The material is easy to obtain, and it takes a little more effort to make the screw-type lid, but practice makes perfect.At least Kun and his father only used two bamboos to make more than 20 broken pieces, and they mastered the skills.As for the broken bamboo tube, it was not wasted, Ding Xiao used it to hold his stones.

You have to ask why Brother Kun is so generous to share the barbecue sauce that Xiaoxiao personally made for him?That's not because it's hard to control the feeling of shame in my heart.

Didn't you see the sentence that people said when they took it out: "This is the barbecue sauce specially made for me by Xiaoxiao. I know I like spicy food, and I put more spicy beans on purpose. If you don't like it, you can apply less A little." See that?This is a paragraph with how many slots!That is to say, the heads of the orcs are straightforward, and no one can guess the meaning behind his words!

The soup is stewed and the meat is grilled.The priest waved his hand, and the six of them started eating together!

Uh... the lotus root has indeed passed its best time, and is a little old.I almost feel like eating by myself.But for the people here, the teeth should be similar to eating tofu, right?So Ding Xiao looked up at Teng and found that she was full of joy.He looked at Kun again, eating one bite at a time, and then looked at the other three strong men.Well, I thought that after opening the eyes of the sky, the stone transformed his body into the same abuse as the people here.As a result, on the teeth, I still retained the characteristics of my previous life.

Really... I really want to try the refreshing feeling of eating chicken without spit out the bones!

After eating and drinking, Ding Xiao stood up and stretched comfortably.Seeing the four males bundle the lotus root together and give Kun to carry it on his back, Ding Xiao was a little hesitant, and immediately understood the meaning.That is, these things belong to oneself.

Um.In that case, it would be good to use this lotus root to make some lotus root clips.Although it is a bit old, cold salad or something is nothing to everyone.The most important thing for me now is to try how to save it.If it doesn’t work, I’d better grind it into mud and try to make lotus root flour, maybe my dad will like it.Anyway, Dad loves white bean soup.

I turned my head and glanced at the lake behind me, and I will come back next year when the lotus is in full bloom. It should be very beautiful.At least Jing and Luxi will definitely like it very much.If only there was a camera.It's a pity that even if my mobile phone has power, it's useless to take photos.well.
