"Do you want to eat comfrey cores—"

The shouts of the friends interrupted the unharmonious chat between the two brothers.

Bai Wu didn't understand what the little friend said, so he quickly responded, "Eat!"

Kishi was distracted and followed, "Have you found the purple grass core?"

"There's a patch here! It's taller than a human, it didn't exist last year, I don't know when it grew such a large patch—"

The voice of deep excitement came from far away, Bai Wu's eyes were full of curiosity, it was the first time he heard such a thing after waking up for so long.

"Brother, is the comfrey core delicious?"

"It's very sweet, but it's a bit hard and not easy to bite."

The brothers rushed over.

Bai Wu saw a large bush.

It looks a bit like an iron tree, the middle stem is like a wooden pier, and the purple branches and leaves grow directly from the stem.

When they arrived, some sub-orcs had already split the stalk with a stone axe and pulled out the lavender wood core inside.

Seeing the two brothers, a sub-orc man handed over the wooden core in his hand, "You are here, try this year's comfrey core, it is very sweet."

Bai Wu reached out and took one.

As soon as the comfrey core was picked up, it was heavy, like a rolling pin, and because it was quite long, it also looked like the golden hoop toy that was popular in his childhood.

Bai Wu looked at this comfrey core, and the more he looked at it, the more hard it became, "Is this really edible?"

"You'll know when you taste it, it's just a little hard."

Bai Wu dubiously stuffed the comfrey core into his mouth, and bit it with a "click".

Did not bite.

Grass.

He felt that his well-maintained small white teeth were about to fall out.

sore.

He took the comfrey core out of his mouth, looked at the lavender wood in disbelief, and then at the suborc man who was stuffing the comfrey core into his mouth.

"Ling, do you think this comfrey core is a bit hard?"

"It's a bit hard, don't you think it's not hard?"

"It's a bit hard? It's enough to be used as a weapon!"

The sub-orc man narrowed his eyes, "Bite slowly, don't rush."

As he spoke, he opened his mouth, gnawed on one end of the comfrey core, and bit off a small piece with a "click" for Bai Wu to see.

After Bai Wu finished reading, he stuffed the comfrey core into his mouth again.

Bai Wu glanced at him again, holding the comfrey core with both hands, stuffing the wooden stick "named comfrey core, but actually a dog-beating stick" into his mouth to chew.

He felt that it was not as difficult for a dog to chew a bone as it was for him.

Still no bite.

He took it out again and saw that there were tooth marks on the comfrey core.

One grain, two grains, three grains, three teeth marks on the top and bottom.

Even after biting so deeply, he still failed to bite the thing off.

The other suborcs took small bites, successfully bit off a piece, and threw it into their mouths to chew slowly. Everyone, including Kishi, praised the comfrey core this time as sweet enough.

Bai Wu approached his brother and whispered, "Is it really that sweet?"

"It's a little worse than the honey you brought back. Shall I help you bite a piece and taste it?"

An glanced at the comfrey core in Bai Wu's hand, without saying a word, he bit a small piece, put it in his palm, and beckoned him to take it himself.

Bai Wu frantically waved his hands, "No, no, I'm just asking, don't give me a taste."

Kishi laughed.

Bai Wu saw their little white teeth biting the end of the comfrey core, biting it very crisply, and couldn't help reminding: "This stuff is too hard, you should bite less, if you break your teeth, you will be killed." There's nowhere else to go."

"It's okay. I only eat it once or twice a year, and it won't break."

"Be careful, your cheeks will hurt tomorrow."

Bai Wu was the only one among this group of orcs who hadn't tasted the comfrey core.

It's not that he really can't bite down, but that he cherishes his teeth very much, and dare not take advantage of his youth to harm his teeth.

This piece of comfrey core is quite large, so everyone just cut one or two to taste, and there is no way to eat them all.

Seeing that they were about to leave after chopping, Bai Wu looked back with some distress, "So many comfrey cores are left here?"

"Didn't you say it? Too much food."

"A waste tooth is a waste tooth. It's a pity to put the sweets here." Seeing that the things were not collected, Bai Wu couldn't walk. Cut it off."

"What are you going to use it for?"

"Take it back and find a way to see if it can be used for other purposes."

Although the comfrey pole is not as hard as the core, it is not easy to cut, especially when there is only a stone axe, everyone is not willing to cut it.

Such a large area grows here, and no one competes with Bai Wu.

Bai Wu put down the basket on his back, and chopped down one by one. It took half a morning to cut all the comfrey cores, and he got fifty or sixty in total.

These comfrey cores are placed in the back basket, which just fills up the back basket.

The autumn fruits he picked had no place to put them, so he had to put some of them in his brother's back basket, and ask other friends to take some of them back.

In the afternoon, everyone returned with a full load.

The two brothers bid farewell to their friends and flew to their home.

After Bai Wu fell to the ground, he drank two large bowls of water.

An spread the autumn fruit on the ground to dry, and asked Bai Wu after drying, "What should I do with these comfrey cores?"

"Take a break first, and when I recover, chop them into pieces."

"and then?"

"Then add water and boil."

"Is it useful to add water? With so many comfrey cores, adding water to boil them will destroy them."

"See if it can be condensed into sugar cubes."

"What is sugar?"

This is another difficult question to explain.

Bai Wu resorted to his old sentence pattern, "Wait until it comes out..."

"You knew it hahahahahahaha, I knew you were going to say this."

Bai Wu was interrupted, and laughed along with his brother, "That's what it is. If you have time to explain so much, why not go straight to work."

The two brothers collapsed on one side and sat on the wooden pier to rest.

The two fathers saw them as soon as they came back.

Chuan looked at their harvest, "I picked a lot of autumn fruits today, and there are also comfrey cores. Is this brought back by Wu?"

Bai Wu gave a thumbs up.

Chuan took a bite of a comfrey core, then took another one and handed it to his partner, "This year's rain is good, and the comfrey core is particularly sweet."

"It may also be because it grows on the Black Mountain and the land is particularly fertile, so it grows particularly plump and sweet."

"Is there something special to eat when you bring it back?"

"Try it. I'm going to find a clay pot without oil and boil some sugar."

Mo stretched out his hands to hold the two ends of the comfrey core, and folded it, but it didn't break. "How do I get the comfrey core? Just put it in a clay pot and cook it like this?"

"Our pottery pot is too small, we need to chop it into small pieces." Bai Wu sat up straight and smiled at Mo, "Father, help me chop it into small pieces. I chopped comfrey cores for a long time today. They're all swollen."

Bai Wu stretched out her hand.

He didn't lie.

The stone ax was too difficult to use. It was so hard to cut in but was bounced back by the comfrey pole. After cutting for a long time, his hands were already sore, and now they were red and swollen, and it hurt even to pinch them.

Mo glanced at his hand, and saw that his hand was curled up like a bird's claw, and he couldn't even stretch it straight. He frowned, "Next time you leave it there, come back and ask me to cut it for you."

"Thank you, father. You can help me cut it into a short section that is as long as chopsticks." Bai Wu compared the length, "It doesn't matter whether it is longer or shorter, the main thing is that the clay pot should fit."

Mo Gan was very quick at work, so he immediately went out to find a wooden chopping board, and started chopping in the yard.

The strength of the orc was much greater than that of the orc. He raised the ax and chopped the comfrey core into two pieces.

Bai Wu felt that the comfrey core was very difficult to cut, but he chopped it all up in a while.

Mo put the comfrey core into the back basket, "Okay, what else should I do?"

"No need to do anything, I'll take it down and wash it, and then I can start cooking."

Bai Wu took the comfrey core to the river to wash, carried it back after washing, and put it in a clay pot.

Their earthenware pots are not big, and the comfrey cores are a bit too much. According to visual inspection, the Bai Wu was divided into three pots to cook.

There is no special food today, Bai Wu didn't make a move, and left the task of cooking to his family, he built another firepit in the yard, and concentrated on cooking the comfrey core.

The water boiled from the comfrey core is dark blue, which is not good-looking.

The pot of juice boiled in the clay pot, as if poisonous.

Bai Wu stared at it for a while, then had an idea, and took out the pickled sour jam from the kitchen.

"Sour-sour jam is sour, and comfrey core is sweet, can this stuff be put in it?"

"Try it, it won't have much impact anyway."

Sour fruit can be used to make milk tofu, and the effect is not inferior to lemon juice.

Boiling comfrey core should also work, right?

Bai Wu said, took a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of sour and sour jam and put it in the clay pot.

As soon as the sour jam was put down, the juice inside immediately turned a bright purple color, which was much more beautiful than the poisonous dullness before.

"Sour marmalade still has this effect?"

"I guess there is, it seems that I guessed it right. Brother, help me bring the big wooden spoon here."

"What are you going to use it for?"

"Now you have to start stirring constantly, otherwise it will be easy to burn."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Bai Wu has already smelled the burnt smell coming from below.

He took a wooden spoon and patiently began to stir.

The soup in the pot became more and more viscous as it boiled. Baiwu took out the comfrey core and put it on a plate, and then continued to cook.

Gradually, the water evaporated, and there was a pot of comfrey paste left in the earthenware pot, and Baiwu could hardly be stirred.

He took out the comfrey paste with a clean large plate, and continued to add water and the comfrey core to boil.

This cooking lasted half the night, and when the basket of comfrey cores was cooked, his arms felt so sore that he could hardly lift them up.

This is still with the help of his family, and he has to do it alone. It is estimated that he will be half disabled after finishing this mess.

"I'm so sleepy. The boiled comfrey paste is so sweet, is this all right?"

"It's almost done, let's ignore this, just chop the comfrey core into small pieces."

"Why do you want to chop it?"

"There is also sugar juice in it, which can be chopped into small pieces and eaten as a snack."

"Couldn't it be done tomorrow morning? I touched it and it's soft enough."

"Today's work is done today. Let's get it done before going to bed. At worst, get up later tomorrow. If you are sleepy, you can go to bed. I can come alone."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll eat the food with you, and let you do the work alone, does it make sense?"

With sleepiness, An helped Bai Wu to finish.

Chuan and Mo didn't sleep either, and helped them wash.

By the time the family finished cleaning up, it was already midnight, and Bai Wu insisted on carrying water to the bathroom to take a shower before going to sleep.

The next day, the whole family got up late.

Kishi yawned as he looked at the fruits of his hard work until midnight yesterday.

He reached out to touch the comfrey paste in the plate, only to find that they had dried hard.

"Wu! Come here and have a look! The comfrey paste you boiled is also hard! They are harder than the core of comfrey!"

Bai Wuzhen put on the animal leather shoes, and walked over to look at it.

"It's okay. Just smash them into pieces later."

"Can this be broken?"

"Not only is it possible, but it's also very easy to knock. Hey, don't do it first, wash the mortar, and put it in the mortar later to knock."

When Baiwu put the comfrey paste yesterday, the inside of the plate was brushed with oil, and today the film is also very easy to remove. With a light tap, a whole piece of comfrey candy can be poured out.

He personally took the comfrey sugar to the stone mortar, pounded it directly, and the comfrey sugar in it split into large and small uneven candies.

"Okay, it's broken so easily!" Kishi looked down and sighed.

"How about you try this first?"

"Bite and eat?"

"It's okay to bite and eat, but most people prefer to eat with their mouths and lick slowly."

Bai Wu picked up two pieces of candy, stuffed one into his own mouth, and stuffed the other into his brother's mouth.

The familiar sweet taste spread in Bai Wu's mouth, the taste of this candy was not much different from the hard candy in his previous life.

If there is a difference, there is more of the unique sweet taste of comfrey in it, which is not unpalatable.

Bai Wu squinted her eyes and savored it carefully for a while, and after confirming that there was no problem, she grabbed a handful of candies and knocked on the doors of the two fathers.

"Yafu, Afu, come out and eat candy!"

"The candy you mentioned yesterday is ready?" Chuan's voice came from the room dully, "Eat first, we get up and brush our teeth before eating."

"You guys hurry up!"

Bai Wu turned back.

Shore the sugar cubes.

The lumps of sugar shattered and turned into lavender translucent crystals that looked like gems.

An Chung ate one piece in a batch. After a while, his cheeks were swollen and his mouth was full of sugar.

Bai Wu went to the utility room and picked out a small basket, and put all the comfrey candies into the basket.

Zicao candy directly filled half a basket.

Bai Wu weighed it in his hand, and felt that it was quite heavy.

It is comparable to half a duck, at least four or five catties.

Zicao sugar is the key product.

Boiled comfrey cores are also a great snack.

After being boiled, it is not so hard, but is full of juice and becomes soft and sweet.

Baiwu chopped them into small cylinders the size of bottle caps last night, and it is very convenient to eat now, just like eating sugar cane, and can spit out the dregs after eating.

Comfrey core is not as sweet as comfrey candy, but it is more durable, and you will not get tired after eating a few more pieces.

Bai Wu also put them in the basket and put them on the table, "The comfrey core will not be dried, everyone will eat it as a snack, finish it early!"

"You don't need to tell us, we can finish it quickly." Kishi grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth. "This comfrey core is really convenient to eat, even the elderly can bite it."

"You reminded me, later you bring some to Xi and the others, and you are giving some to Mu."

"I see. What about you? What are you going to do? You won't be carrying them to the priest again, will you?"

"What do you say?"

"I mean, I don't know you yet?"

Chuan and Mo came out of the room, "What are you brothers talking about?"

"Yafu, Gangwu said to send some to everyone."

"It should. You go early, I will cook this morning."

Bai Wu nodded, and asked An again, "The autumn fruit will be dried for a few days, when will the oil be squeezed?"

The autumn fruit oil here is directly pressed hard, which is a physical oil extraction method.

The tribesmen took out the kernels of the autumn fruit, dried them in the sun, fried them until cooked, pounded them into fine powder, wrapped them with miscanthus grass, put them in the groove of a stone, put a stone on top, and pressed down on the stone so that The autumn fruit oil flows out from the small holes in the stone.

Bai Wu also saw the stone mortar used to extract oil.

Although the tools in this world are not good, everyone's labor wisdom is not bad at all, and the tools that should be used can be used.

Kishi said: "The weather is not good these days, it may take three to five days to dry, wait until it snows before squeezing."

"Then I'll chop off the beans today, and let them dry in the sun, otherwise it will be even more difficult to deal with when it snows."

The beans grown in Baiwu have turned yellow these days, and they can be chopped down at any time.

He intends to dry them first before pounding the pods.

The weather is already cold, and he can make some bean paste after harvesting this crop of beans.

Bai Wu thought about it, and flew up to find Nan Yao with food.

It was rare for Nan Yao not to be in the nest.

The two orcs who were recuperating at his place were also absent.

Bai Wu walked around his two nests, made sure that he was really not there, and put the basket in his nest with some helplessness.

When it was put away, Bai Wu turned around subconsciously, trying to find a pen and paper to leave a message for him.

After realizing what he was thinking, Bai Wu patted his head.

They have already come to this world, there is a fart paper and pen.

Even if there was a pen and paper, Nan Yao would not be able to recognize the words written down.

Bai Wu let out a long breath and put the basket away.

Turn away.

He goes home for breakfast.

After breakfast, he put his basket on his back and went to the tribe to chop beans.

After a few more days of growing, the beans in his family were all ripe.

He broke open the pods, and inside were round beans.

Because the water and fertilizer are particularly abundant, these beans are even bigger than in the wild.

Bai Wu felt a little greedy for a moment, and planned to peel some beans and make rice with beans today.

Anyway, he already has four baskets of rice at home, more than enough for making seeds, and he can pound some rice for rice.

Picking beans, weeding, and covering green roots and green onions, another busy morning.Bai Wu carried the beans back, and in the afternoon he went to the valley to work in his newly plowed vegetable garden.

The vegetables in the garden are growing well.

Especially the radish, the radish he transplanted has blossomed and set seeds.

Because he wanted to keep these radish seeds as seeds, he never picked them and let them dry on the tree.

Now is the time to pick them off.

In addition to radishes, the garlic he grows is also very good.

Now that the garlic sprouts are lush and green, he picked up a handful of garlic sprouts and planned to make claypot rice later.

There are green beans, bacon, and garlic sprouts at home, perfect.

When Bai Wu got home, she immediately saw Nan Yao was there.

Surprise flashed in his eyes, and he shouted at Nanyao's back, "Why are you here? When I went to your den in the morning, you weren't there."

Nan Yao turned back, "Hen and Xun are almost injured, I will send them back to the tribe in the morning."

A bright smile appeared on Bai Wu's face.

The two guys finally went back.

Nan Yao paused, "I caught two birds and flowers on the road, and I brought them here for you to taste."

"I'll go! These two flowers and birds are so fat! I was planning to make claypot rice with bacon just now. You brought the flowers and birds over and make claypot rice with flowers and birds later."

The corner of An's eyes lit up, and he interjected, "What is claypot rice? Is it delicious?"

Bai Wu didn't answer, he said to himself again, "The food you cook for the priest must be delicious."

When Bai Wu was about to get into his throat, he choked back abruptly, staring and said: "Brother, if you are free, come and help."

"It's coming, it's okay to say a word?"

"Just say it, and I won't cook anymore."

Kishi quickly made a movement of sealing his mouth, happily carrying the flowers and birds to deal with.

He is also good at cooking, especially as a helper, which is very easy to catch.

Bai Wu said to Nan Yao: "I brought you some sugar this morning, have you tasted it?"

"Very sweet. We never have sugar like that here."

"In fact, the material grows on the mountain, and I just processed it briefly."

Bai Wu spoke with some complacency.

"I plan to go out after a while to see if I can find other comfrey cores. It would be nice to stock up on some candy for the New Year."

Nan Yao said: "I'm here today mainly to ask if you still want to go to the tribe of fish orcs. We can go there first while the weather is fine these days."

"Go!" Bai Wu sat up straight, "I've wanted to go for a long time! Go, go, when will I go? If I go tomorrow morning, I'll pack my things right away!"

"It's not too late to pack up after dinner. The place we're going this time is far away. Don't bring too many things with you on the way."

Bai Wu nodded repeatedly, "Then tell me what to bring."

"It's enough to bring clothes and salt, and we'll collect the rest on the way."

"Don't you need to bring supplies to exchange things with the fish orcs?"

"No, just call on the road."

Bai Wu has almost never traveled far, and she doesn't know what to bring here.

Nan Yao is an expert in this area, he does what he says.

"It's all up to you. Then let's eat a little bit today, so we can start tomorrow."

"Do you want me to help?"

"It's best if you're willing to help. Come on, pound some rice for me. I lost my hands when I worked yesterday, and today my paws hurt when I move them. I don't want to do it anymore."

"Why didn't you call me?"

Bai Wu looked up at him.

"What, there's something on my face?"

"I don't have anything, I just think it's a bit strange." Bai Wu smiled, "I'm also an upright adult, why don't I call you for everything? Don't say we're just friends, even if we're not just friends, we don't. The reason to blame everything on you."

"Sometimes being too independent is also seeing outsiders."

"I didn't meet you, I just couldn't be so straightforward."

While they were chatting, Kishi had cleaned up the bird and came back.

The two stopped discussing tacitly.

Bai Wu took the cleaned bird, held it in his palm and weighed it, "During this period of time, I haven't missed your good things. Keep up the good work. If you want to bring good things over here, I won't let you out."

Nan Yao looked gentle, "Okay."

Kishi watched from the side, always feeling that the atmosphere between them was very strange.

Obviously he was standing beside him, but he couldn't get in the conversation.

Kishi took another look.

too weird.

When he was a child, the priest was already a priest.

Even though the priest was still young at that time, he was already very powerful. Even adults did not dare to speak loudly in front of the priest.

He had never seen such a gentle expression on the priest's face, let alone rolled up his sleeves to help a certain sub-orc man pound rice.

No, there was no rice at all before.

An looked at Bai Wu and Nan Yao interacting with each other with a very complicated expression on his face.

That is to say, from this day on, An never made any jokes about Bai Wu and Nan Yao.

Even if other sub-orcs were joking, he would help to defend.

This incident has become something that cannot be used as a joke.

There may really be an extraordinary friendship between his brother and the priest.
