Chapter 359 A wise woman is paired with Huang Xing to farm (18) (Third update, please vote for me!)

Xu Yin thought that he had a share of the credit for catching such a large group of flying dragon birds, so she let him follow him as he pleased. If he didn't want to, he could just go hunting by himself.

 She didn’t plan to hunt anyway, she just wanted to dig bamboo shoots, pick nuts, pick mushrooms, and dig herbs... The outer perimeter of the Light Worm Forest was enough for her to hunt for treasures.

 Xu Yin fulfilled her promise and gave Pei Keqi two flying dragon birds.

Unexpectedly, Pei Keqi only wanted one: "I'll take one back to stew potatoes and try it."

 The other one refused to accept anything, saying that he had not yet thanked Xu Yin for the hospitality at noon.

  Xu Yin gave him some mushrooms and told him that the stew was very delicious.

Like Kahn, Pekeqi expressed great surprise that these mushrooms were edible. It was not until Xu Yin said that she could identify them that she happily accepted them.

Xu Yin clipped the wings of the flying dragon bird and tied its feet with a strong fine linen rope, intending to take it back and raise it in captivity.

 From then on, there was a steady stream of flying dragon birds and bird eggs to eat.

 The Taobao trio instantly turned into a four-person team, and their efficiency improved a lot.

Pei Keqi didn't know anything else, but he was much stronger than Mengqi and Kahn, and he could pick up bamboo shoots smoothly. After Xu Yin taught him how to identify bamboo shoots, she left a bamboo basket for him to pick up mushrooms and dig herbs. went.

 She thought he would be busy for a long time before filling the bamboo basket, but within half an hour, he came to her with the basket and said it was full.

Xu Yin looked up and couldn't help but want to twitch her lips.

It's not full. It's obviously because the bamboo shoots were too big. One bamboo shoot filled half the bamboo basket.

But having said that, this giant bamboo shoot is still very tender. After peeling off the outer shell, the meat inside is white and crispy, a bit like the best quality bamboo shoots.

 Xu Yin praised him a few words.

Unexpectedly, a rugged man in his thirties or forties didn't feel embarrassed when Kahn teased him, but when Xu Yin praised him a few times, his face and neck turned red. He shyly ran away with the bamboo basket and continued digging bamboo shoots.

Xu Yin smiled.

 Actually, apart from the mistakes that have been made in the past, most of the people here are quite lovely.

 The four people divide the work in an orderly manner:

After Pei Keqi got to know the bamboo shoots, he concentrated on peeling them;

　　Kahn is still persistently looking for rotten tree stumps to dig for black truffles;

Monkey helped Kahn pull out the tree stump;

Xu Yin, a little Taobao expert, doesn't dare to pick up random items except those she doesn't know. She keeps everything that she knows or has medicinal uses in Chinese herbal medicine illustrations, regardless of whether it's on the trees, in the ground, or on the ground.

 The process of Taobao was full of fun, but in a flash, it was dark.

 The four of them lit a bonfire and set up camp.

Dinner is still Feilong soup, but this time some chestnut meat is stewed together.

 Three of them all said it was delicious, so Xu Yin taught them how to identify chestnuts.

Pekeqi was surprised: "So it's this thorny ball? Then I know where to find it!"

So, they had something to do again the next day—find the chestnut forest that Pekeqi mentioned and frantically stocked up on chestnuts.

The chestnuts here are plentiful, big and sweet...

Xu Yin hummed a song unconsciously.

It’s a pity that she was tone-deaf and her humming was so unpleasant that even she found it unpleasant. Unexpectedly, her three friends were particularly supportive and kept praising her for singing beautifully.

 Xu Yin: “…”

 Could it be that all the musicians in the interstellar entertainment industry are out-of-tune singers like her?

Then she can!

 Ahem, that’s too far off topic.

 Let’s continue picking chestnuts!

 After picking chestnuts for a whole day, they still haven't picked up all the ripe chestnuts that fell in the chestnut forest. However, there are a lot of moldy chestnuts underneath, so Xu Yin said she won't pick them anymore. These are enough for them to kill time in the cold season.

 The other three people then stopped.

Back at the camp, Xu Yin asked the three of them to peel some chestnuts. She was responsible for cutting the openings with a knife, then soaking them in water for a quarter of an hour, draining them with gauze, lighting a fire and setting up a pot, adding sea salt and frying the chestnuts together. Fry until the opening splits, then add a handful of sugar and continue frying until the opening opens wide and the color of the shell turns darker, indicating it is cooked. Cover the pot and simmer for a few minutes, turn off the heat and sieve.

 “Try it!”

Xu Yin handed each of the three a roasted chestnut that had just come out of the pot.

Kahn felt hot and blew on it before peeling off the chestnut shell and putting it in his mouth.

 “Well, it’s so delicious!” His eyes lit up instantly.

Monkey has a similar expression.

“I didn’t expect that this prickly hair ball looks ugly, but tastes so good! The stew is delicious, and it’s also delicious stir-fried like this!”

Pekeqi closed his eyes with satisfaction while eating, savoring the aftertaste of chestnuts in his mouth.

Xu Yin stuffed a pot full of chestnuts into his arms amusingly: "Eat more if you like! You can fry them again after eating. With the amount we picked up today, we can fry them every three days throughout the cold season."

"hey-hey…"

Pekeqi scratched his head and laughed: "I have also decided to move to where you live. I can visit you during the cold season. By the way, Kahn, how did you build your house? I don't want to live in a hole in the ground anymore."

Kahn squirmed: "I know how to build! Brother Hero taught me!"

“Then teach me! Next time I will take you to catch the sharp-billed flying insect beast.”

"Okay then." Kahn nodded, then clasped his fingers and said, "But you have to line up. In front of you, there are Lao Pi, Andrew, Chiokes... Wow! So many people want to move to our place. Let’s live together. Brother Hero, if we live in a place with more than a hundred households, we won’t have to travel so far to deliver supplies in the future.”

Xu Yin smiled and rubbed his little head.

 This child really misses the supply package.

 The four of them stayed outside the Insect Beast Forest for five days.

On the sixth day, Xu Yin was going to dig some more herbs.

It is true that the herbs here are of high quality and have never been picked except by insects and beasts. They are old and have extremely good medicinal effects, so I want to stock up on more.

 After passing this village, who knows if there will be a chance to meet again in the future.

Just as they were about to set off, Simon, Card Xiu and others returned from hunting.

"Hero." Upon seeing her, Card Xiu ran over excitedly, "See what we hunted?"

Xu Yin took a look and saw that it was a fat black pig with more tusks than a domestic pig?

  If the insect beasts we hunted before, except for the giant beasts, all tasted like beef or mutton, then this one definitely tasted like authentic pork!

ah! Pure Dongpo meat, here she comes!

"Not bad!"

 She gave each person a handful of roasted chestnuts.

 Let's make real lard, braise real pig's trotters, and fry real pork belly when we go back!

"What is this? It's so delicious." Kaxiu asked curiously after eating a chestnut.

“Brother, this is the meat of the thorn ball. Is it delicious? We picked it up all day! Brother Hero said that you can often fry it and eat it in the cold season.”

"Prickly fur balls? Can these things be eaten?" Simon expressed doubts, but peeled one off and hit himself in the face after just chewing a few times. "It's so delicious! I know where there are spiky fur balls. I'll go to get more tomorrow." Pick some up and bring them back!”

Xu Yin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "We have picked up a lot, which is enough for us to eat for a cold season. Let's also leave some for the insects and beasts here who live on chestnuts."

"The hero is right! We have picked them all up, and those bug beasts will have nothing to eat. In the next spring, we will not be able to hunt fat bug beasts."

　　　…”

 She doesn’t seem to mean it.

 Forget it, as long as the effect is the same.

It’s the last day of July. My monthly vote will be wasted if I don’t vote. Please vote o(╥﹏╥)o
