"Charles, don't destroy the skins when you hunt, or I won't be able to make clothes. Mi Qing struggled with a plant in her hand while hunting in the distance.
Over there, Charles let out a long whistle to indicate that he knew, and Mi Qing continued to struggle, and Shirley, who was picking grass on the side, asked curiously, "Mi Qing, what are you doing?"
"This one looks like a sweet potato. "Looking at the similarity between the rhizome and the leaves, I hope she's right. Sweet potatoes generally grow in patches, if it is really sweet potatoes, then this piece of green vegetation is immeasurable food, then her harvest today is not small.
In this beast world where supplies are scarce, it is impossible to be picky, as long as you save what you eat.
Shirley didn't understand Mi Qing's attachment to these 'grasses', and her eyes lit up when she saw them. But she can always find something to eat, and it tastes good. So Shirley believes that Mi Qing must have found something delicious by doing this.
Finally, after more than ten minutes of struggle, an oval-shaped object was dug out of the ground by Mi Qing. Shirley hadn't seen a plant that could bear fruit underground, so she approached curiously.
"This is a sweet potato, can you eat it?" After staying with Mi Qing for a long time, Shirley also wanted to eat it when she looked at things.
Mi Qing gently cut off a small part of the fruit with a bone knife, and she didn't care about the dirt, smelled it and put it in her mouth to taste it. Sweet, it is the taste of modern sweet potatoes, but it is a little big.
"It's a sweet potato, it's really a sweet potato, it's great. Mi Qing was very excited, and pulled Shirley's shoulders and shook them straight. Shirley was dizzy and begged for mercy.
"Shirley, don't pick any grass, come with me to dig sweet potatoes. Mi Qing handed Mi Qing a bone knife, and then explained to her how to dig sweet potatoes.
Shirley is also smart and quickly mastered the technique, but not as fast as Mi Qing's skillful digging. When she successfully dug up a big sweet potato by herself, her heart was full of a sense of accomplishment. With an innocent smile on her face, although Shirley is not as beautiful as Sophia, she has a unique flavor as a female of the fox clan.
Mi Qing looked at Shirley, who had always been sad about reproduction, and finally smiled openly, and felt very relieved. In this primitive society without hustle and bustle, females don't have to do anything at all to get the male's pursuit and courtship. They have no ideals, and they just wait at home every day for the hunting males to come back and reproduce, which Mi Qing feels sad when she thinks about it.
This good year was wasted on the matter of husband and children, and she didn't plan to live an ordinary life like this.
Mi Qing was planning a blueprint for the future in her mind, and the movements in her hands did not stop. It took the two of them an afternoon to dig up all the sweet potatoes in the clearing, so Mi Qing had to mark the place and continue to pick them tomorrow.
The Shire had a good harvest, and Miqing planned to go home and marinate and dry the meat with salted fruit, which would be a bad taste but a good way to preserve the food.
What makes Mi Qing even happier is that the salted fruits here seem to bear fruit all year round, so there is no need to worry about saltiness.
