Chapter 188: Full Harvest!

But are the potatoes in this world the same as those on Earth?

But soon, when Lin Luo calmed down a little, he couldn't help but think secretly in his heart.

After all, this is a primitive world that is completely different from Earth.

From Uteng's words just now, it can also be heard that although this potato is poisonous, it is not highly poisonous.

However, the toxicity is obviously not small, and in the case of eating it raw, it will definitely kill ordinary people.

Therefore, Lin Luo is really not sure whether the toxins contained in the potatoes here will also be automatically decomposed after being cooked at high temperatures.

If not, then the potato is a real poison rather than an important food crop.

"Hey, Lin Luo, are you listening to me?"

On the side, Wu Teng asked Lin Luo loudly.

When Lin Luo was thinking to himself just now, Wu Teng had already called him several times, but he didn't get a response from Lin Luo.

"Huh?"

This time, listening to Wu Teng's loud inquiry, Lin Luo reacted.

"What did you just say?"

Looking at Lin Luo's expression that had just reacted, Wu Teng said helplessly: "Why are you suddenly stunned? I shouted several times just now, but you didn't respond." ”

"It's nothing, I just think the roots of this white sunflower are a little peculiar. ”

Lin Luo shook his head slightly, stood up and held up the potato in his hand and replied to Wu Teng.

In this primitive era, human beings naturally did not know much about tubers.

In their view, everything that is in the soil is the root of a plant.

Therefore, Lin Luo can only call potatoes roots.

"The roots of white sunflowers are indeed different from other plants. ”

Hearing this, Uto immediately nodded in agreement.

Then he continued: "However, the root toxicity of the white sunflower is too small, and we usually only use its stems and leaves to prepare the poison. ”

Hearing Wu Teng's words, Lin Luo's face suddenly showed joy.

At least from this point of view, the potatoes here contain the same toxins as the earth, and they contain much less toxins than the stems and leaves.

"Why do you call it a white sunflower?"

Lin Luo then asked Wu Teng.

For this question, Lin Luo was very curious before.

After all, in his opinion, the name doesn't match potatoes at all!

"Because its flowers are white!"

Hearing this, Uto immediately replied in a natural tone.

“......”

Hearing this answer, Lin Luo suddenly felt speechless.

Indeed, the vast majority of potato flowers are white, with only a few likely to be blue-purple.

The tribe didn't care about the potatoes in the ground, and they didn't know that they could be eaten as an important food.

So, it's no surprise that they named potatoes after their most conspicuous flowers.

Thinking helplessly, Lin Luo clenched the potato in his hand, turned his head to Wu Teng and said, "Wu Teng, you go and help me report to your chief, just say that I want to use the blood of the fierce beast I brought, and then trade some white sunflower roots with you." ”

"What do you want the roots of the white sunflower for?"

Hearing Lin Luo's words, Wu Teng asked with a slight surprise.

After all, he had told Lin Luo just now that the stems and leaves of white sunflowers were more toxic.

"It's nothing, I just think this one looks weird. ”

Lin Luo played with the potato in his hand and replied with a smile.

"Alright then, I'll go tell the chief. ”

Hearing Lin Luo's perfunctory answer, Wu Teng did not continue to ask.

After saying that, he turned and went to report to the chieftain.

After watching Wu Teng's back gradually fade away, Lin Luo looked down at the potato in his hand again.

Now, if he wants to test whether the potatoes here can really break down the toxins after cooking them at high temperatures.

Then you have to find an ordinary beast and let it eat the roasted potatoes to see if there are any signs of poisoning.

However, in this valley of the Plover tribe, most of the animals living in it are poisonous insects, and there is no suitable beast to use for experiments.

Of course, even if there was a suitable beast, it would be impossible for Lin Luo to do this experiment within the Plover Tribe.

Because, if the tribe knew that potatoes were an extremely important food crop, then his plan to trade potatoes would probably fall through.

Therefore, for the sake of his own selfishness, Lin Luo could only choose to conceal the truth and trade the potatoes first.

After all, if the toxins of potatoes can't be automatically broken down after being cooked at high temperatures, then he will lose some of the blood of the beast at most.

But if the toxins break down on their own, the potatoes will be a game-changer for the Tribal Alliance.

Therefore, Lin Luo is still very willing to bet on this.

In this way, after waiting for nearly half an hour, Uto finally brought Chief Duck's reply.

For the deal proposed by Lin Luo, Chief Lu agreed.

After all, for the Duck tribe, potatoes are just ordinary poisons.

Although he was very curious about why Lin Luo suddenly offered to trade potatoes, Chief Duck finally chose to agree.

Hearing the reply that Wu Teng brought back, Lin Luo was naturally very happy.

However, the tribe was aware of it, and Lin Luo still tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, and did not show excessive desire for potatoes.

After collecting the juice of the violet flowers with Uten, he went to the potato growing area and began to dig out the potatoes one by one from the soil.

For the Duck Tribe, potatoes are not considered precious poisons, and the blood of the fierce beasts that Lin Luo brought this time is enough to trade a lot of potatoes.

Therefore, Lin Luo directly took off the animal skin clothes on his body and used it as a package, which was full of more than 100 catties of potatoes.

After the transaction was completed, Lin Luo did not stay in the Plover tribe for a long time, and said hello to the Plover Chief, and then said goodbye and left.

"Uten, this dagger is for you. ”

Standing at the mouth of the valley of the Gully Tribe, Lin Luo pulled out the pure copper dagger from his waist and handed it to Wu Teng, who came to see him off.

For Lin Luo, this time, thanks to the black vine they lured the spotted python to his side, he had the opportunity to establish a good relationship with the Bulge tribe.

This made this transaction very smooth, and at the same time, it also gave Lin Luo a lot of unexpected gains.

Therefore, in order to express his gratitude, Lin Luo directly gave him the pure copper dagger that Wu Teng loved so much.

After all, Lin Luo knew in his heart that it would be impossible for Uto to trade gold artifacts at the trade fair next year.

"Really?"

Hearing Lin Luo's words, Wu Teng's face was suddenly full of surprise.

As for gold artifacts, he has been fond of them for a long time, but the trading price of gold artifacts in the Zhijin tribe is too high, and the flesh and blood of the fierce beasts he has accumulated before is simply not enough.

That's why I haven't been able to trade my favorite gold items.

"Of course it's true. ”

Lin Luo said with a smile.

After speaking, he directly stuffed the dagger into Uten's hand.

"Zixiao!"

Immediately, Lin Luo turned his head and shouted into the woods.

"Roar!"

With a roar, Zixiao burst out of the woods.

Lin Luo carried a package full of animal skins full of potatoes, turned over and rode directly on Zixiao's back, turned his head to Wu Teng and said, "I hope we will have a chance to meet again in the future!"

"Well, I hope to have a chance to see you again!"

Wu Teng held the pure copper dagger given by Lin Luo in his hand, and nodded heavily.

"Goodbye!"

After waving his hand at Wu Teng, Lin Luo patted Zixiao's head.

Zixiao immediately moved his limbs knowingly, and carried Lin Luo in the direction of Zhushan.
