Chapter 265 The Daily Life of Time Acceleration
This rainy season was much easier for Jiang Luoluo to get through than the first rainy season.
Although she ensured sufficient physical exercise every day, Jiang Luoluo took the opportunity to rest and return home because she didn't need to go out to do anything during this period and only needed to clear her mind to train.
Moreover, because I exercised well every day, I slept better at night. I could fall asleep as soon as I lay down on the heated kang bed and closed my eyes.
Even their appetite has increased significantly.
Jiang Luoluo made her own height measuring tape—actually just a straight wooden stick, which she stood upright and marked to record her height at different times.
Not surprisingly, I discovered that I had grown nearly two centimeters in height in just one month.
Normally, a child her age should grow about five centimeters in height within a year.
At this growth rate, Jiang Luoluo will probably grow more than 20 centimeters a year... Of course, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but it's still at least a dozen centimeters.
There is no specific unit of length in the tribe, or maybe there is, but it is not usually used. When describing the length of an object, a well-known unit is usually used.
It is straightforward and clear, and can be understood immediately.
In other words, Jiang Luoluo is only 7 years old, almost 8 years old, and has already grown to 1.4 meters tall.
When the big beast season ends and the snow season arrives, maybe he can reach 1.5 meters.
An eight-year-old who is only 1.5 meters tall... Jiang Luoluo didn't want to think about it anymore.
Of course, in the tribe, her height and figure are considered very healthy and popular.
However, Jiang Luoluo herself still retained some of the aesthetic values from the previous world and couldn't quite accept it—mainly because her figure seemed a bit exaggerated in the tribe.
Jiang Luoluo had never taken on such a prominent position in a crowd before, and she needed time to get used to it.
Bei, who is one year older than Jiang Luoluo, now looks a year younger than Jiang Luoluo when they stand together.
Now, Bei Du has been visiting Jiang Luoluo less frequently.
The main reason is that every time Bei sees Jiang Luoluo's physique, she feels like "I'm doomed to lose this time too," and her awareness of the gap between the two becomes clearer and clearer.
The grasshoppers' growth rate also increased significantly. Jiang Luoluo didn't know if it was because the grasshoppers themselves had good physical qualities or if the pythons had also played a role in it.
However, Meng's aversion to fighting remained unchanged, wasting his large physique and still placing him at the bottom of the small team.
Jiang Luoluo sometimes finds it hard to understand why Mang, with his personality, could tolerate Meng's "cowardly" nature instead of trying to forcefully change him.
Just like Jiang Luoluo will never understand why Mang treated Xing that way when they first met—Jiang Luoluo will always hold a grudge!
Perhaps it was because of the closed training at home throughout the rainy season that Jiang Luoluo felt like she was in seclusion. Coupled with seeing her height increase, Jiang Luoluo's confidence swelled up for once.
As soon as the rainy season ended, she took the initiative to find the python, determined to prove her progress.
The result was, unsurprisingly, that he was pinned to the ground again.
If Jiang Luoluo could defeat the python with over twenty years of combat experience inside the mantis with just over six months of training.
The title of "genius orc warrior of that tribe" shouldn't be given to Ge; it should be given to Jiang Luoluo.
Jiang Luoluo's swelled confidence during the rainy season was quickly dampened, and the familiar touch of the ground even felt somewhat comforting.
“Meng, I’ve come to find you…” Bei suddenly appeared at the door, looking at Jiang Luoluo who was being pinned to the ground, her expression stiff and incredulous.
The words stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
Jiang Luoluo's eyes widened as she felt the pressure on her loosen. She broke free instantly, flipped herself over, and saw Meng's bewildered expression.
The python actually switched accounts at this crucial moment!!!
“Lo...you…” Bei looked disappointed.
"You've really regressed this much in just one rainy season?"
Jiang Luoluo glared fiercely at Meng; she didn't believe that the python hadn't noticed Bei's approaching footsteps.
He definitely did it on purpose!
"Whether you back down or not... let's fight first!" Jiang Luoluo was unwilling to explain and was prepared to prove with her strength that she had not backed down during the rainy season.
As expected, Bei was pinned to the ground again, and Jiang Luoluo was even more relaxed than before the rainy season.
Bei lay on the ground, her eyes still full of incomprehension, "Since you're still so strong, why can't you even beat a grasshopper?"
"Don't ask!" Jiang Luoluo said angrily.
She'll pin Python to the ground and beat him up sooner or later! And she'll beat him up badly!
This was just a minor incident, and Jiang Luoluo quickly returned to her busy schedule.
Go to the herb garden of the mountain shaman to check on the growth of the third batch of seeds you planted, and then select a new batch of seeds from them to plant as the fourth batch.
The rain during the rainy season did not affect the growth of the plants on the mountaintop. It was not that these plants were particularly resilient, but rather that the power of the fire on the mountaintop protected them, which greatly weakened the power of the rain.
Even the heaviest needle rain on the mountaintop is just a slightly heavier downpour and has no harmful effect whatsoever.
Of course, doing so would consume the power within the fire, so under normal circumstances, it would not cover the entire mountaintop; the protected area would only be the herb garden and the shaman's wooden hut.
Even in the herb garden, only half of the relatively fragile plants can be protected; plants like foxtail grass, once drenched by the needle rain, are simply left to fend for themselves.
Anyway, it's very resilient and grows quickly, so let it get soaked by the rain.
The plant seeds that Jiang Luoluo planted were fortunate to receive such preferential treatment, after all, they were seeds that Jiang Luoluo had carefully selected. If they were simply left to be watered by the rain, who knows how much time would be wasted later in cultivating and selecting new ones.
Moreover, the number of Jiang Luoluo plants is not large, and the total area is only thirty or forty square meters, which is not as large as the space of the witch's wooden house. It is not difficult to shelter them, as it is just a corner of the whole.
After finishing with the seeds, the next step was to check on the fruit wine at Jiangma Cave and arrange for the batch-by-batch filtration of residue and replacement of containers.
Perhaps because it was the first time making fruit wine in such a large quantity, there were a few problems, including quite a few instances of spoilage.
"I'm sorry..." Brown said nervously, trying to explain, "We didn't realize that part of the wooden barrels inside weren't properly covered."
The main problem is that most of the tribespeople responsible for moving the animals have some mobility issues. Even though they tried their best to place the animals stably, there were still some bumps and knocks.
This resulted in some of the wine barrels, which were not airtight to begin with, having even larger gaps exposed.
Jiang Luoluo patted Zong's arm reassuringly, "It's okay, let me take a look first."
In fact, less than one-fifth of the fruit wine had spoiled, so it wouldn't have any impact. The remaining fruit wine was more than enough for the upcoming snow season.
Compared to these fruit wines that spoiled due to accidents, this one, with a success rate of over 90%, is even more astonishing.
This also shows just how much effort the people of Jiangmadong put into making fruit wine to achieve such a high success rate.
Jiang Luoluo opened the barrels of fruit wine that had been selected and confirmed to be spoiled, and found that the liquid in two of the barrels had become cloudy and was no longer usable.
The other liquids were fairly clear, and apart from not having an alcoholic smell, they didn't seem to have any major quality issues.
...Wait, there's no smell of alcohol?
Jiang Luoluo blinked, asked Zong for a wooden spoon, carefully scooped up a little liquid, and smelled it.
Sure enough, there was a sour smell, but in the cave where the fruit wine was stored, the sour smell was masked by the smell of wine and was not obvious.
Jiang Luoluo put a little more in her mouth to taste, and a look of surprise appeared on her face. This was just fruit vinegar!
Vinegar is an important seasoning for cooking. Although many people don't like to add vinegar to their soup, I'm sorry, but Jiang Luoluo is the kind of person who likes to add vinegar when she drinks soup.
Moreover, with vinegar, you can make all kinds of cold dishes; cold dishes without vinegar have no soul!
Vinegar can also be used to pickle vegetables and so on; it has so many uses!
Moreover, these are fruit vinegars made from fruit, which have an advantage over regular vinegars—they have a natural fruity aroma and can be drunk directly as a beverage after adding water.
Although the taste may not be to everyone's liking, Jiang Luoluo happens to quite like it, especially the apple cider vinegar drink.
“It’s okay!” Jiang Luoluo immediately turned to explain to Zong.
"They didn't go bad; instead, they turned into something else very useful: fruit vinegar!"
Zong was somewhat suspicious, disbelieving, and vaguely worried that Jiang Luoluo had made up a lie to appease them.
Finally, Jiang Luoluo personally led them to make various things with fruit vinegar and demonstrated the effects.
Zong finally believed that their mistake had not caused any worse consequences.
I just can't quite accept the idea of adding vinegar to the soup... It tastes strange, and I don't understand why Jiang Luoluo would like to eat it like that.
Jiang Luoluo had to admit that sourness was indeed not a flavor that everyone could accept.
However, many members of the tribe fell in love with the taste after their first bite.
Taste is indeed a matter of personal preference.
To Zong's even greater surprise, the news of fruit vinegar had only been out for two days when many tribesmen came to exchange for it.
In fact, most of them didn't know what fruit vinegar was, but after hearing that Jiang Luoluo liked it very much, they decided to try it as well.
After all, the rainy season has just ended, and it is the season of the most abundant food for the beasts. Even if you don't go deep into the Taz Forest, you can get enough food just by wandering around the edge.
This is the time when the tribe has the least shortage of food.
Why not take this opportunity to try out the new food first? Are we going to wait until the snowy season when we can't go out to exchange precious food for fruit vinegar?
Jiang Luoluo never expected that she would become a "sales expert" in her tribe.
With this level of advertising impact, in a previous life, he would have been a top-tier live-streaming e-commerce host earning millions a year.
Therefore, in addition to fruit wine, fruit vinegar was added to the brewing tasks of Jiangma Cave, and a new cave was specially opened to store the two items separately.
Brewing is not a one-time thing; it's not that once you've made a sufficient quantity, you don't need to do it again.
Because fruit wine is a high-volume item with various uses, it needs to be continuously brewed to replenish the consumed quantity.
Moreover, the Great Beast Season is the perfect time for fruit harvesting, with a wide variety and abundant quantity of fruits. Why wait any longer to pick as many fruits as possible to make wine and vinegar?
In addition, the fish is actually the biggest consumer of fruit vinegar... because vinegar can further remove the fishy smell of soft-shelled turtles and also make them taste better.
—Because it was Jiang Luoluo who came up with the idea of making fruit wine, Jiangma Cave needs to pay Jiang Luoluo a portion of the reward, just like Xing did.
Of course, because the quantity produced in Jiangma Cave is too large, the ratio is fifty to one, that is, for every fifty barrels of fruit wine brewed, one barrel of fruit wine needs to be given to Jiang Luoluo as payment.
But Jiang Luoluo wasn't old enough to drink, and Ge didn't really like drinking either, so they exchanged their payment for an equal amount of fruit vinegar and gave it to Yuerdong.
The original intention was to give it away for free, but unfortunately the tribe doesn't support it.
Therefore, Jiang Luoluo had no choice but to accept one or more large water fish delivered from Yuerdong every day as payment for the fruit vinegar, and then immediately pass them on to her good friends.
Jiang Luoluo really couldn't accept eating fish every day. She felt that she had lost a lot of weight after eating so much fish.
Although Jiang Luoluo sometimes felt that she was too muscular, she was unwilling to lose weight.
Among the clansmen who received the fish were Ke and Mao, the father and son next door; Xing, who moved to a new house; Ping, who occasionally visits her sister; Yuan, who is pregnant, and her husband Shou; Xi and Zhuang, who are Jiang Luoluo's sparring partners; You, who used to be Jiang Luoluo's subordinate, and her brother Li.
There are also Chi, who takes a short break in the tribe; Qing and Heng, who make telescopes; Ti, who makes eyeglasses, and Li, who is his student with Qing; Cong, the carpenter, and his parents, Tai and Rong; Zao, who forges iron, and the other tribesmen in the kiln.
Even the python and the grasshopper's adoptive parents received a soft-shelled turtle from Jiang Luoluo... Bei, who often came to challenge Jiang Luoluo, also received one.
The people Jiang Luoluo sent out also prepared different return gifts for her.
Ke sent over a batch of fructose made according to Jiang Luoluo's recipe. It had a very beautiful shape and a rich and varied flavor.
Mao found an egg about the size of a forearm while hunting. He didn't know what kind of creature it was, but he had heard Jiang Luoluo say that she wanted to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes, so he brought it back and gave it to Jiang Luoluo.
Xing made new clothes for Jiang Luoluo. This time, the clothes were brand new and she sewed them herself.
Ping gave away half of the beautiful stones he had collected on Little Stone Mountain during this time... The other half was given by Xi, who also included some plants and flowers from her home, such as the sunflowers that Jiang Luoluo had seen last year.
Zhuang brought his favorite meat from home and gave it to Jiang Luoluo... He was scolded by Xi for a long time, and in the end, he gave her a piece of gold stone that he got from his parents, because he remembered that Jiang Luoluo seemed to like it.
