Chapter 239 A great harvest
After dinner, He Jiaojiao went to Mo Ran’s room to take a look, and then suggested going out for a walk.
Everyone was naturally happy that He Jiaojiao took the initiative to go out, so she went out in a grand manner, surrounded by several friends.
"Where do you want to go, Jiaojiao?"
After having Lin Feng, he carried Jiaojiao on his back almost every time they went out.
"I want to go for a walk in the woods over there."
After living in Wanshou City for so long, this is the first time that He Jiaojiao has gone out of the city for a stroll.
Of course, it wasn't really just a stroll. She just wanted to see what edible things were available in the animal world during this season. It would be a good thing to teach others about it later.
A few people were walking aimlessly in the woods when He Jiaojiao saw a tree not far away. Well... to be exact, it wasn't a tree, but there were a lot of fruits on it.
"Let's go check it out!"
He Jiaojiao pointed to a place not far ahead and said.
When they arrived in front of the fruit, He Jiaojiao jumped off Lin Feng's back and looked at the long bunches of fruit. Although they were not very red yet, they were very similar to the edible fruit she remembered.
"Jiaojiao, this isn't tasty." Bamboo Bear said, "An animal has eaten this before. It's very bitter and not tasty at all."
He Jiaojiao smiled. She finally remembered what this was. She remembered her grandfather had introduced it to her when she was a child. He said it was called goat milk fruit. When ripe, it was very red and tasted sweet, but if it was not fully ripe, it would be very astringent and inedible.
Hearing Bamboo Bear say that it tasted astringent, He Jiaojiao was almost certain that this was the goat milk fruit.
"This fruit can only be eaten after it's fully ripe. It will definitely be astringent if you eat it now." He Jiaojiao said with a smile, "Azhu, help me dig it out. I'll store it in my space first and then transplant it behind the stone house."
He Jiaojiao had seen that there was a large open space behind the stone house, which could be used to grow a lot of things. If she had known earlier, she would not have placed the vegetable garden so far away, making it inconvenient to check on it whenever she wanted.
The bamboo bear's claws were very sharp, and it dug out the goat's milk fruit with its roots in just a few strokes.
As soon as He Jiaojiao's fingertips touched it, the goat milk fruit disappeared out of thin air and appeared in the space.
Having just come out, she found something she knew. He Jiaojiao's mood immediately became particularly good. She pointed ahead with great enthusiasm and said, "Let's keep going~"
Lin Feng made a gesture to sprint forward, but before he could start digging, he was stopped by Zi Yi.
Looking at Zi Yi's creepy eyes, Lin Feng remembered that he had suddenly accelerated like this before, and almost made He Jiaojiao fall. He immediately became scared.
It must be said that in the spring forest, you can find a lot of things. Not long after walking, He Jiaojiao saw a large field of raspberries. God knows how surprised she was.
You know, this thing was sold at a very high price in fruit shops in the previous life!
"I want to eat this!"
He Jiaojiao pointed at the red raspberries all over the ground and said loudly.
A few friends looked at each other. They knew this and had eaten it before. It was red and juicy and really delicious, but the key was that it was too small and could not fill them up at all.
However, since Jiaojiao likes to eat them, you can pick more.
So, several friends buried their heads and picked all the raspberries in this area, wrapped them in leaves and put them in He Jiaojiao's space. He Jiaojiao was so greedy that she kept a bag in her hand and ate it while walking.
Later, they came across some wild vegetables, and He Jiaojiao asked her partner to pick them all.
Finally, He Jiaojiao stopped in front of a very large chestnut tree, but at this time, the flowers of the chestnut tree had not even started to bloom.
"Jiaojiao, can this be eaten?"
The companions finally understood that He Jiaojiao wasn't out for fun, but was simply out looking for food. But they clearly hunted every day, and the only food He Jiaojiao got was the tenderest parts of the animals...
"Of course!"
He Jiaojiao looked at the chestnut tree and wanted to ask them to dig it up. But the tree was too big. After thinking about it, she gave up. At worst, they could wait until the chestnuts were ripe and come back.
He Jiaojiao felt hungry after walking and stopping along the way.
But until now, she has not found anything that can feed the orcs, and she really doesn't want to go back.
Just as she was debating whether to continue walking forward, she caught sight of a familiar vine. He Jiaojiao's eyes lit up instantly, and she grabbed Lin Feng's fur and pointed to the patch in the distance, "Afeng, hurry up, go there."
Lin Feng took a look and said to He Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, hold on tight."
Without waiting for He Jiaojiao to respond, Lin Feng quickened his pace and rushed out.
As soon as Lin Feng stopped, He Jiaojiao couldn't wait to jump off his back, then picked up a branch beside her and started digging.
"Jiaojiao, let me do the digging!"
Lin Feng stepped forward, raised his claws and dug a few times. Perhaps it was because his claws were too sharp, but he cut the thing underneath into several pieces.
He Jiaojiao picked up one of the pieces, put it to her nose and smelled it, then took out the dagger her companions had made for her, peeled off the skin, then peeled off the part covered with dirt, and then took a small bite.
"This is it!"
He Jiaojiao was full of excitement. She didn't expect that there would be such good things in the animal world.
"Jiaojiao, what is this?"
When several people saw Jiaojiao actually eating what was dug out from inside, they all asked curiously.
"This is called sweet potato. It can be boiled, steamed, baked, or fried. It's delicious. The key is that it's a whole grain. It's very filling and good for your health."
When Ziyi heard that there were so many ways to eat it, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Then we'll dig all of this up and eat it slowly later."
Everyone transformed into animal forms and were about to take action when He Jiaojiao told them to be careful and not to smash everything like Lin Feng did.
Lin Feng, who was suddenly cut off, looked embarrassed. He just wanted to help!
It took several people a long time to dig out all the sweet potatoes. Looking at the sweet potatoes all over the ground, He Jiaojiao was so happy.
Most importantly, she could use her supernatural powers to catalyze the sweet potatoes and then have other interested orcs in the city plant them. This way, when they were ripe, they could reduce the risk of starvation during the cold season.
When He Jiaojiao thought about the number of sweet potatoes stored in the space, her happiness was beyond words.
When they were about to return to the Beast City, He Jiaojiao looked up and saw a beehive on the treetop. Not only that, there were also some bees flying around it.
Considering that it is the season when flowers are in full bloom, there must be a lot of honey in this hive.
When she thought of the sweet honey, He Jiaojiao couldn't help but ask Lin Feng to stop.
