Chapter 193 Spoiled Fruit
Miler is ecstatic today. Lately, she's been either competing or filming various commercials, and she still has to find time for training.
She herself felt that she hadn't been out for fresh air in a long time, how could she not be excited?
Miler visited Jianjia City last year as a spectator and vendor, so it wasn't as busy as it is now.
She and her brothers had also visited the outskirts of Jianjia City.
Unlike Chixia City, the outskirts of Jianjia City are not as pristine; the city government has carried out preliminary landscaping work there.
There are no large wild animals present, only some small animals roaming in this suburb, and the plants remain exactly as they were before.
The goal is to maintain the pristine nature of the suburbs while ensuring safety.
They even release some non-aggressive small animals here, so quite a few people come to this outskirts to take photos.
Yufei and the others wandered around the outskirts near Jianjia City but couldn't find a quiet place that could accommodate so many of them to play.
Therefore, Yufei and the others discussed it and decided to go further afield, to a more remote area far from Jianjia City.
Before going into the wilderness, I also signed a liability waiver with the staff at the border.
As they ventured deeper into the city, they were increasingly impressed, noting that Jianjia City's management was truly outstanding, demonstrating the city's strong sense of responsibility in every aspect.
There aren't many people around here; you might occasionally encounter one or two summoners who are out for wilderness training.
Yufei and her friends found a clearing near a small river, set up their tents, and prepared their camping supplies.
Then they released their summoned beasts, which, having never ventured out into the wild before, were clearly very excited.
The children were playing and frolicking in small groups. After Yufei and the others reminded their summoned beasts not to leave their sight, they assigned two comrades to watch over them and then left them to their own devices.
The most important thing is to get the fire going first. We spent a lot of time this morning looking for a suitable spot for an outing.
It's almost lunchtime now, so of course we don't need that many people to start the fire.
After discussing it, the others decided that some would go hunting, while others would gather wild fruits and vegetables.
After agreeing on the plan, everyone took on their assigned tasks. Miler, along with Yufei and her brothers, were all assigned to pick wild fruits and vegetables.
In Lei Jun's words, they had never been to Jianjia City before and didn't know which wild vegetables and fruits were edible and which weren't. They needed Miler and the others to help them keep an eye on things and select them.
As for meat, there are basically no animals that are off-limits for consumption; it's just a matter of which is more palatable.
They have considerable experience in surviving in the wild, so they don't need their help.
And so the allocation was settled happily. Yufei had no objections to this arrangement; she wanted to take the plant rooms with un-unlocked genes to the space, which required absolutely nothing to operate.
Therefore, she is not afraid of anyone following her and exposing her private space.
"What kind of tree is this?" Yufei looked up at the incredibly tall tree, with black fruits faintly hanging on its branches.
I just don't know if it will taste good.
"This is spoiled fruit. Don't be fooled by its resemblance to milk fruit, only it's black. The taste is simply indescribable. It's not even half as good as milk fruit. It's extremely salty and has a strange flavor. Only a few people with unusual tastes like to drink this juice."
Miler recalled being tricked into taking a big gulp of it last year; the taste was still unforgettable.
Yufei's interest was piqued even more by Miler's disgusted expression. She was curious to know what kind of juice it tasted like, and if anyone actually drank it, yet Miler, a foodie, found it unpleasant.
As she was figuring out how to climb the tree and try to pick one, one of Miler's younger brothers, a small, observant man, noticed Yufei's interest.
He volunteered, saying that he had been climbing trees since he was a child and was very good at it. "Let him do it!"
Miler echoed.
"Sister Yufei, let Wamer go. This tree is straight and tall, and it looks really slippery. Wamer is very good at climbing trees, so let him go. We ladies can just watch from the side."
Yufei, of course, wouldn't refuse such a kind offer, and quickly expressed her gratitude, her eyes sparkling as she waited for the tree to bear fruit.
Wamer caught a monkey and climbed up the tree in no time, stuffed a few fruits into his shirt, and came down.
After all, the taste of this fruit... well, he figured his brothers probably wouldn't really want to eat it; the few he picked were for Yufei.
"Sister Yufei, I'm telling you, eat slowly, don't eat too fast all at once. If you don't like the taste after eating a bit, then we'll stop eating!"
Miler swallowed hard as he looked at the spoiled fruit Wamer gave Yufei.
During their time together, Yufei and Mile learned that Mile was actually older than Yufei, but she had a baby face and a baby body, making her look much younger.
But since Miler had been calling Yufei "sister" since the first day he saw her, they had gotten used to it and never thought of changing it. They just continued calling her that.
Yufei carefully bit open the peel of the spoiled fruit, took a small bite, and her tightly furrowed brows relaxed.
She was initially put off by Miler and thought it was going to be really that bad, but it turned out to be... just the taste of soy sauce.
It still tasted like well-brewed soy sauce, but drinking it in large gulps would definitely be too salty for these local people who are used to a bland diet.
Yufei took a small sip and then stopped drinking it; this stuff is more suitable as a condiment.
"Right? I told you this stuff doesn't taste good, but Sister Yufei didn't believe me and insisted on trying it~ Now you know how powerful it is!"
When Miler saw that Yufei only took a small sip and then stopped drinking, she knew she hadn't misjudged her and proudly said to Yufei...
"Actually, the taste is alright, but the better way to use it isn't by drinking it directly like this. I'll show you the correct way to use it later."
Yufei told Miler the truth.
"How could anyone possibly swallow that?"
Miler didn't believe Yufei's claim that the stuff tasted alright. Still unconvinced, she took the juice Yufei had already sipped from and took a sip herself.
"what?!"
Miler's eyes widened
"No! This isn't right! It didn't taste like this the time I drank it!"
Miler took another big gulp, unable to believe it. How could the same fruit taste so different?!
"Was that fruit you drank from before unripe?!"
When Yufei heard Miler say that it tasted different from the one she had last time, this was the only possibility she could think of.
"Maybe... Sister Yufei, let me tell you, the one I drank last year was awful, definitely not like this. This tastes acceptable to me! Although it's not exactly delicious either, but, hmm~ I feel like it's getting better and better the more I drink it."
Miler took another sip and surprisingly tasted a mellow aroma, unlike the sour taste she had last year.
Yufei guessed that the juice Miler drank last year was probably not properly fermented, like unfermented soy sauce, and didn't taste very good.
The fermented fruit should taste pretty good, but she needs to pay attention to that. Does the flavor of this type of fruit fermentation change with the seasons within a year, or with the year itself? She needs to keep a close eye on this in her spatial dimension.
