Bai Wu looked at the things Nan Yao threw up.

That is a piece of lotus root.

In a separate section, there are hairy roots at the joints at both ends of the lotus joints, and there are young shoots that are tightly attached to the lotus root.

With such obvious features, it is absolutely impossible for Bai Wu to misread it.

Bai Wu took the lotus root in his hand and looked it over and over again.

After a while, he raised his face and shouted to Nanyao in the middle of the river, "What a lotus root!"

"I look like it too."

"Is there any more? Just this part?"

"I'll look for it again."

Near the center of the river, the flowing water is already relatively fast. Seeing him standing aside, Bai Wu's heart ached, "Be careful, let's take our time, don't slip."

"The depth is the same, not so much."

Nan Yao touched it for a while, and then pulled out another lotus root.

The lotus root here looks obviously smaller than the lotus root dug by the long-necked people, small and slender, but the characteristics are still obvious.

What surprised Bai Wu the most was that there were long lotus buds growing on every node of this lotus root.

Even from a distance of several meters, Bai Wu could clearly see them trembling in the cold wind.

This makes the lotus sprouts look extraordinarily pitiful and lovely.

Nan Yao put the lotus root in the water and washed it for a while, then raised his hand to throw the lotus root over.

Bai Wu's heart twitched, and she shouted, "Don't throw it away!"

"Don't break the bud, I'll come and get it."

Bai Wu stepped on the heel of her right foot with her left foot, quickly took off her shoe, and at the same time lowered her head to tuck in her robe, "Wait for me, I'll be right over!"

When he was talking, Nan Yao waded in and held the lotus root in front of him, "Stand on the shore honestly, don't get your clothes wet."

"!!!" Nan Yao's handsome face was in front of his eyes, Bai Wu was startled, took two steps back, walked back, patted his chest, "I'm scared to death. Don't throw it away. I'll come down and meet you Let's find it together."

Bai Wu turned to call the little orc beside him, "Success, can you come and meet me?"

Nan Yao said, "It's cold."

"Don't be afraid! At worst, it will be exposed to the sun later, and I will touch it with you."

"Worried about me leaking the lotus root?"

"It's not like that, it's just one more person and more strength..."

"Then just stand on the shore."

Bai Wu was interrupted by Nan Yao, touched his nose, and stood on the bank holding a lotus root.

Cheng watched them from the side.

The round eyes of the half-grown orc were full of curiosity.

Bai Wu was a little embarrassed, lowered her head and pretended to be poking the lotus root buds, but said in a low voice, "Wu, you have a good relationship with the priest."

"Have we gotten to know each other well? Cough. How many white clams have we touched?"

"what?"

"It's the white clam."

"Oh, I count, one, two, three...a total of 21."

Bai Wu successfully diverted the children's attention, and quietly let out a sigh of relief.

Nan Yao touched the water for a while, and found six more lotus roots.

They harvested a total of six lotus roots and one lotus root.

After careful observation, Bai Wu found nineteen lotus root buds.

Some lotus root joints have only roots and no buds.He plans to cut off the roots and plant them in the water together.

"Do you want to keep going up?"

"I'm not leaving. I'm looking for a lotus root like a needle in a haystack. When will I find it? It's already amazing to touch these, let's go back first."

After Bai Wu finished speaking, he looked at it and said to Nanyao: "Let's reply to the Yu tribe and tell them to go back as soon as possible? These lotus root sprouts must be planted quickly."

"can."

Cheng looked a little disappointed, "Are you going back now?"

"Hurry up and plant the lotus root buds, and I'll come to play with you next time when I have time." When Bai Wu put the lotus root into the basket, he took out all the sugar wrapped in big leaves, and stuffed the leaves into the bag. In his hand, "When you are free, you are welcome to come to the Bai people to play with me."

The three of them changed back to beast form, and flew back to the feather clan.

An Shan, the patriarch of the Fuyu tribe, has not returned yet.

Nan Yao talked to the sentinels of the Fuyu clan who were staying behind, and wanted to take Bai Wu back first.

Bai Wu felt a little sorry, and after leaving five white mussels, he gave all the remaining white mussels to the Fuyu tribe, and gave a small half of a basket of pepper to grind and boil the fish for them to eat.

Carrying lotus root, pepper and two baskets of chacha leaves, the two flew on the way home.

Nanyao's speed is very fast, and Bai Wu's flying is not slow with his wind belt.

Flying late at night, the two stopped and found a place to rest in the wind.

The two ate something hastily, wrapped themselves in animal skins and fell asleep, and got up before dawn the next day, and continued to fly to the tribe.

They flew faster on their return journey and arrived at Bai Wu's house by noon.

Bai Wu's family is far away from the tribe, and the whole family has gone out again. No one knows that they are back.

As soon as Bai Wu fell to the ground, she changed back into a human form and went into the kitchen first, "Are you hungry? Let's eat a bowl of yogurt first, and then go down to plant lotus roots."

Although Bai Wu was asking a question, he soon came out with two big bowls of yogurt, with a thick layer of insect honey poured on it.

"The water for washing your hands is in the water tank, come here."

As soon as Nan Yao washed his hands, a large bowl of yogurt was stuffed into his hands.

Bai Wu's hands were also wet, and when their hands collided, Nan Yao curled up his fingers, "Why are you so impolite now?"

"Why are you being so polite to me? It's as if I haven't hugged your thigh someday." Bai Wu said, "We have to hurry up and plant the lotus root sprouts. There are signs of wilting, the roots are soft."

"Inoculated in the river?"

"I'm afraid that won't work. The mud content of our river is not as large as that of the mud river, and the water flow is relatively fast. If such a small lotus root sprout is planted in the river, it may be washed away at any time."

Bai Wu concluded, "It is necessary to reclaim wasteland on the shore and create an acre of paddy fields."

Land reclamation has never been easy.

Bai Wu was going to open up wasteland by himself, and it would take him two or three days to do so exhaustingly, but Ouya couldn't delay.

Bai Wu put the mussels into the big basin, scooped out three ladles of water from the tank with a "squeak", left the mussels to spit mud in the basin, and put a small spoonful of salt in it.

"We're going to open up wasteland and come back, this white clam should be ready, and I'll make something delicious for you then."

"fishy."

"You'll know when you taste it."

The two went down to the river.

Bai Wu chose a sandy river beach more than ten meters away from the radish planting, and Nanyao and Nanyao took stone picks and started digging.

They had to dig out a piece of the bank, divert the river water, and develop the river bank into a paddy field.

There are many weeds and shrubs on the bank, grass roots underneath, and many stones. They cleaned out the debris and filled back part of the fertile soil they had just dug out.

This busy work lasted until the afternoon.

When they planted the lotus root and straightened their waists, the sun had reached the top of the mountain, and it was about to sink down the mountain.

When Bai Wu raised her head, she happened to meet Nan Yao.

Nan Yao's hair was messed up, and so was the robe on her body. The robe was tucked around her waist, revealing her slender calves and half of her thighs with clear lines, and mud was splashed on her handsome face.

His appearance is not too embarrassing, but it is out of place.

The sense of disobedience is extremely strong.

Bai Wu couldn't help but burst into a "puchi" laugh, and then laughed loudly, "Hahaha, I didn't expect you to grow things like this."

"It's not that I haven't planted things for you before."

"Hahaha, I should find a calm water surface and let you see what you look like now."

"Just talking about me, don't you know what you look like now?"

"what?"

Bai Wu stared at Nan Yao's eyes, and found that there was indeed something on his face from his pupils.

Bai Wu subconsciously wiped it on her face.

He forgot that there was mud on his hands, and after this wipe, the cold mud covered half of his face.

This time, Nan Yao didn't need to remind him, he knew it too.

Grass.

Bai Wu took a few steps forward in embarrassment, and squatted by the river to wash his face.

Nan Yao walked over slowly, and tapped the top of his head with his slender fingers, "This is also there."

Bai Wu stretched out his hand to feel it, but he really felt a lump of mud.

The mud stuck to my hair, and I couldn't even stroke it clean.

He was embarrassed, "When did I get it up?"

"Before you laugh at me."

"...Forget it, I won't wash it, I'll boil some water at night and wash it again, it's so cold."

Bai Wu shook her head vigorously on the spot, barely drying her hair.

"Come on, let's go pick some onions, ginger and garlic, and steam white mussels for you tonight."

The vegetable garden is nearby.

Baiwu now raises pigs, sheep and ducks, and there is never a shortage of fertilizers. Their vegetable field is suddenly dark and fluffy, very fertile.

The vegetables grown on this kind of land are also very unusual, especially onion and garlic, which have thick leaves and full of flavor. Now they are eaten now, and the taste is particularly outstanding.

Garlic steamed shellfish is a must.

Bai Wu dug up some extra garlic.

These tender garlics have just petaled, and there are still old garlics at home. Today, I will have a double gold and silver garlic.

With such a short distance, the two walked back directly in human form instead of using animal form.

Before arriving at the place, Nan Yao said, "Someone has come from your house."

"Who?" Bai Wu could only smell the body odor of the person, but couldn't smell the special smell of each person, let alone classify people according to the special smell.

This special smell is a bit like those used in the animal world to mark territories and choose mates.

Bai Wu didn't light up that skill.

He thought it was a partner in the tribe, "Is my brother and the others back?"

"Your brother is back. The person who came should be from the Fuyu clan."

"Huh? Are they looking for us for something?"

The two turned back into animal shapes and went up the mountain.

Bai Wu saw An Shan sitting on the wooden pier and Cheng waving at him at a glance.

There are two other orcs who are relatively unknown, but they have all been seen in the Fuyu clan.

"Master Priest." An Shan greeted, "We brought the mussels and chacha grass that you dropped."

Bai Wu: "That is specially reserved for you to taste."

An Shan: "Actually, I also want to take this opportunity to see the legendary house. We brought more mussels and cut some chacha grass."

Bai Wu saw the chacha grass and white mussels in their big and small baskets at a glance, and felt very complicated, "You are too polite, since you are here, stay at my house for dinner."

"Then we're welcome."

"You're welcome, you treat it as your own home. By the way, have you seen my house?"

Kishi said: "Not yet."

"Brother, show the guests around, and I'll prepare dinner."

The people in Anshan said they were embarrassed to see the sub-orc man's den, and they didn't want to see Baiwu and An's room. They just visited Chuan and Mo's room, kitchen, bathroom and utility room.

They focused on the kitchen, bathroom and utility room, and then stayed to help Baiwu wash the clams and peel the garlic.

Nan Yao whispered to Bai Wu to bring back some prey, and then flew away.

After he was gone, the orcs were less reserved.

The orc guy named Ruyun from the Fuyu tribe was the most open-minded, "Wu, your house is too beautiful, especially the kitchen. Why is there a firepit outside and another firepit inside?"

"Actually, my kitchen is a semi-finished product and will be rebuilt in the future. Now we just put a firepit. When it rains, we cook in the kitchen. When it doesn't rain, we cook outside more often."

"Does that mean you have to cook in the kitchen in winter?"

"Yes, it's too cold to cook outside in winter. But it's not certain, I still have to move to the cave for the coldest few days."

Bai Wu was talking with her mouth, but her hands kept moving.

Soon, Chuan and Mo came back.

Nan Yao is also back.

Everyone worked while chatting, and processed all the animal meat.

Bai Wu looked almost done, and started to fry the garlic in the wok.

After heating up the animal oil in the earthenware pot, put the baiwu into the Xyenia cordata and Jiji grass and fry it for a while, then pour in the chopped garlic and fry it slowly over low heat.

After a few breaths, the hilltop of their house was filled with a strong aroma of garlic.

Carefully stir-fry the white Wu with a spatula. When the garlic is fried golden, add salt, the other half of garlic, green onion, and minced ginger into it, and stir-fry again. It is considered to be fried.

He filled the big pot of fried ingredients, picked out the Xymphaeum officinalis and Jiji grass in it, took the clay pot away, and put a special stone plate for barbecue on the fire pit.

"There are a lot of people today, let's have barbecue." Bai Wu swiftly placed the clams filled with clean clam meat on the stone slab, and put the freshly harvested animal meat on the edge, "Everyone has a pair of chopsticks, turn the meat by yourself , the white mussels need to be roasted for a while."

Kishi wondered, "Can it be cooked like this? Such a big clam."

"It will be familiar in a while."

On Bai Wu's left was An An, and on his right was Nan Yao.

Everyone sat around the stone slab and ate meat.

The firepit can be used for both heating and lighting, and everyone eats while roasting, and it is very comfortable to eat.

Soon, the soup inside the white clam was bubbling and bubbling, and the clam meat was steamed by the soup until it made a "jelly" sound and changed color slightly.

The unique fresh aroma of shellfish also wafts up.

An ate the meat in his mouth, his eyes kept wandering to the clam meat, "Can you eat it?"

"I'll add some minced garlic, it will be ready soon." Bai Wu raised her hand, scooped up a spoonful of minced garlic and added it to the clam meat.

Almost as soon as he added the minced garlic, the aroma burst out, and everyone around swallowed their saliva.

Even Nanyao's Adam's apple moved slightly.

Bai Wu used the serving chopsticks to adjust the mussel meat inside each mussel, making sure that each of them was cooked, "Okay, let's eat. Be careful not to burn it."

Before he finished speaking, several people around stretched out their hands in unison, either using chopsticks to pick it up, or pinching it directly with their hands, and put the clam meat in front of him.

The first batch of white mussels happened to be one for each person.

Bai Wu picked a relatively small one and put it in front of him.

At this time, a pinch of golden minced garlic is on top of the yellowish fat and tender clam meat, and the soup is still bubbling slightly.

He picked up a handful of garlic and tasted it first.

Fragrant!

Salty!

The scallions and ginger inside are just right, not overwhelming at all.

Bai Wu's eyes lit up, he picked up the bouncing clam meat inside, dipped it full in minced garlic, blew it a few times, stuffed it into his mouth, and bit his teeth down——

The tender and plump clam meat is bursting with juice.

The aroma of minced garlic and the umami of mussel meat are perfectly combined, bursting in the mouth.

The mussel meat is tender and sweet, hot and fragrant, without any fishy smell, and it goes well with minced garlic.

This is perfect enough.

The most wonderful thing is that this piece of mussel meat is thick enough.

Bai Wu took a bite, it was full of meat, his mouth was full, all kinds of aromas and flavors exploded, and an incomparable sense of satisfaction flooded his heart.

In the night of late autumn, Bai Wu really felt that nothing could be better than this to taste such a rich and delicious food.

Without grilled oysters, this clam meat is not inferior at all.
