Chapter 35

When Jiang Xia got better and could go out, it was already the second day after the big hunting ended. Jiang Xia and Ares arrived at the clan early in the morning. It was full of animals ready to be skinned and cleaned, and the different species were placed separately. Jiang Xia felt that he had entered a small slaughtering and processing factory.

The cleaned animals are sent aside for pickling, with males handling larger animals such as round deer, and experienced females handling smaller animals such as springing rabbits and pheasants.Ares went to help, and Jiang Xia watched from the sidelines.The most important thing about salting meat is that the amount of salt needs to be controlled, and the second is that the weather should be warm and dry. The time of more than four months is not short. If the cave is cold and humid, even after curing, the meat is also easy to deteriorate .Jiang Xia saw that the clansmen were working in full swing, and felt motivated. When all the public food was prepared, and her own winter stuff was ready, there were still many things she could and needed to do.

Common food in the clan is very important, so there is no need for a young female like Jiang Xia to do it. Jiang Xia is going to go out to collect. The wild vegetables she collected last time were dried into dried vegetables, and the bottom of the bamboo basket was not even filled. In the past two days, she Her main task is to collect wild vegetables, and she also wants to find out if there are other plants that can be eaten. After all, there will be many mature plants in autumn.

"Xia Xia, you came so early." Qiqi ran over panting, "Am I late?"

"No, it's because I came early, I went to the place where the clan's bacon is cured." Jiang Xia smiled and straightened Qiqi's hair that was blown by the wind, "Come out, isn't Floyd angry? "

Hearing what Qiqi said, Jiang Xia knew that it was not a necessary occasion. Frode usually didn’t let Qiqi go out. In Jiang Xia’s opinion, this kind of protection was too much, even if Qiqi’s character was innocent and simple, it was not at all The little white rabbit who has no resistance can only have the ability to protect himself if he learns to overcome difficulties. Jiang Xia is very fortunate that her family Ares has advanced "democratic" consciousness in this regard.

"Why is Frode so angry?" The little female smiled sweetly, "He always thinks that I don't understand anything, and he needs to protect everything to be at ease. In fact, I am very good, but he never gave me a chance to show it off. , and since eating the food you taught me to cook, Floyd is very much in favor of me going out with you."

Is it because I know her strong ability, Jiang Xia's kick in Anton, it is estimated that Ares is the only male who went with him. Her sturdy image told Ares that of course Jiang Xia would not say such self-destructive things by herself.Qiqi was still asking yesterday if she really kicked a female, or kicked it to that place. After getting a definite answer, she almost drowned her with adoring little eyes, which shows that they only carried Ari behind their backs. Si is passing it on alone.

Jiang Xia thinks that the tribe's current impression of her should be that she can be delicious, a tough female who always has new ideas, Jiang Xia doesn't care, as long as they don't think she is easy to bully like before.

The collection team set off, Jiang Xia only took Qiqi, and Binny and Wei Duo were in a group. She knew these people the longest, the most familiar, and the most reassuring. I have taught them, and I don't object to them telling others the method. In Jiang Xia's view, these are trivial matters. Sometimes people need to take a long-term view.

Because Binny and Wei Duo were familiar with the collection area, they deliberately walked a long distance. Jiang Xia walked the collection area vertically, and no one found it troublesome, which showed the benefits of being friendly with people.Jiang Xia felt that she was very lucky. First, she discovered the daylily, which is considered a flower by Weiduo. No one in the clan collected it. "This thing can be dried for a long time, and it is very delicious." In the case of meat, Jiang Xia felt like she was about to cry, and finally found a vegetable that she liked to eat. Yes, she could use the word vegetable instead of wild vegetables and the like. Apart from the fact that this day lily was a bit bigger, It was exactly the same color and smell as the day lily she knew. Since no one in the clan had eaten it, Jiang Xia only picked a little and was going to feed it to the rabbit. If the rabbit was fine, everyone would be happy. The devastated rabbit mourned a lot.

Jiang Xia felt that today must be her lucky day, and she took another route on the way back, but on the way, Jiang Xia found that the large vines on the right could no longer walk, "Why is no one here to collect them? "Jiang Xia felt her voice trembling a bit.

"These vine leaves can be eaten in summer, but now that they are old, they are no longer delicious, so no one collects them," Binnie said casually.

"You just eat the leaves? Didn't anyone dig into the soil?" Jiang Xia was a little anxious.

"It seems that someone pulled it out during the collection. There are only very small ugly bumps, and no one is interested."

"Xiaxia, can this vine leaf be delicious?" Qiqi, a foodie, was most concerned about food.

"I have to see to be sure." Jiang Xia walked over, almost tripping over a small stone under her feet because of her eagerness.After finally coming to the front, Jiang Xia found a leaf stem and started digging downwards.A piece of rhizome the size of an orc's fist was quickly dug out. "Is this the little pimple from before? How did it grow so big?"

"It's ugly, can this thing be eaten?"

Jiang Xia took out the bone knife she carried with her and cut off a piece at the end, the light yellow and reddish cut surface slowly oozes some milky white liquid, "I won't die of hunger now, it's great, it's great... " Jiang Xia muttered incoherently.

"Let's go back." She must quickly make sure that this is really a sweet potato, and then, then they will have dried sweet potatoes, sweet potato cakes, and roasted sweet potatoes. Now that Jiang Xia's body and mind have been completely reduced to an ancient female, what work, Shopping and mortgages are all far away from her. She is just an ordinary female who goes out to collect for a living. "Qiqi, I will make you something more delicious this time."

Sometimes all it takes is a moment to make a big discovery.Jiang Xia dug up two sweet potatoes and hurried home, no matter how curious the other three people were, they didn't say anything. This discovery was too important to the tribe, and she had to be absolutely sure without making any mistakes.

He found Ares first, and then directly consulted with the wise man. Perhaps because of his experience with the tribe, Jiang Xia believed in the wise man Jesus even more among the few people who were more authoritative in the tribe.Yesa, who also witnessed all the little miracles brought by Charlotte with his own eyes, also values ​​Jiang Xia very much.The plants that Jiang Xia found were fed to rabbits and Anton cattle without any problems, and even the orcs tried them in person.The orc is Ares, he trusts his mates, and baked sweet potatoes smell really good.

"Except for the sprouting sweet potato, which cannot be eaten, it is really a good food. It can be roasted, boiled, stored for a long time, and it is very convenient to grow in the future." Jiang Xia tried to convince wise men of the importance of sweet potatoes.

"You call it a sweet potato? Why do you call it that?"

"..." Jiang Xia scolded the old fox in her heart, and said after thinking about it, "I think it looks a bit like potato fruit, and the leaves are a little red, so I just thought of this name." Jiang Xia's liver trembled, he must be careful next time he speaks Be careful, especially when facing Jesus.

"Well, since you discovered it, let's call it sweet potato." The wise man squinted his eyes, calculating on his face, "Are there many sweet potatoes in this field?"

Of course there are a lot, you can’t imagine how many, but Jiang Xia doesn’t want to be fooled again, “I’m not sure about that, that piece of sweet potato land is huge, so there should be only a few more, when are we going to dig it?” Jiang Xia was in a hurry , I am afraid that the sweet potato will run away with long legs.

"Don't worry, sweet potatoes won't spoil in the field. After two days, marinate the meat from the tribe, and then go to collect it." Seeing Jiang Xia's hesitant expression, the wise man finally added, " Of course, you are the discoverer of sweet potatoes, you can collect them whenever you want."

Don't you want my family to try food for the tribe? Jiang Xia thinks this possibility is very high, but she doesn't worry about it. She went to the sweet potato field with Qiqi to dig a lot of animal skins, and she didn't even know the market. Qiqi was very surprised, "We only dug this small area and found so many, so how much food can be found in a large sweet potato field here!"

Jiang Xia smiled, and Qiqi was dumbfounded again by the brilliance in her eyes. "I think, at least the females in the tribe will not be afraid of starvation throughout the winter." Qiqi was infected by her friends, and she became happy.

The news that the Ares family partner discovered a large amount of food spread quickly among the tribe, and most people took a wait-and-see attitude. It took a long time for every new thing to be generally accepted by the people, even in ancient times when food was scarce. People will not rush forward because of blind trust. Life is precious and everyone has only one time.

Compared to the entanglements of her clansmen, Jiang Xia was enjoying her delicious roasted sweet potatoes. If it wasn't for the troublesome procedures, she would immediately make a pot of sweet potato pancakes to eat. The hot sweet sweet potatoes are not much different from those eaten in modern times, because the environment is not Pollution, but taste better.Even Ares ate two or three. The washed sweet potatoes were buried directly under the fire of the barbecue. The meat on the top was roasted and the sweet potatoes on the bottom were cooked.Kiki and her partner had lunch at their home.Jiang Xia stopped reaching out after eating one, because she was afraid of making indecent noises.

"Pfft..." Sure enough, before Jiang Xia had time to remind everyone, she heard an embarrassing voice.

Qiqi widened her eyes and looked at her partner, as if she didn't know him. Jiang Xia almost burst out laughing internally. Frode, who has always been steady and elegant, was completely ruined by the sweet potato. Could this be caused by a sweet potato? "murder"?
Ares is more straightforward, "Farting depends on the location, everyone is eating, can't you bear to move away?"

Frode was completely blackened, and Jiang Xia felt that he was hidden behind a dark cloud, adding fuel to the fire, "Sweet potatoes have the function of helping the body exhaust, and eating more can prevent constipation."

"Xiaxia!" Qiqi was about to cry, "You two are so bad, you bullied my family Frode together."

Jiang Xia couldn't help laughing anymore, and Ares also laughed when she smiled, and Qiqi laughed through her tears at the end, "Hehe, Frode, you are too shameful..." Every time he does something wrong, His family partner would always teach him with a straight face, he had been unconvinced for a long time, and finally he caught the embarrassment of a big lion!

Frode will always have a shadow of sweet potatoes in his life, Jiang Xia secretly smiled, hahahaha, it's so fun...
