Act 41: Gather the ingredients!
"Hallest, Rhine!"
Just as the three people in the house were having a good time, the sound of the snow season came from outside the house.
"Daddy!" Harrester looked back to see that it was Xue Ji standing in the doorway with a bag.
"Are you two alright? It didn't hurt, did it? Xue Ji gently placed the package in his hand on the table and approached the two children to take a look.
"It's okay Dad, we didn't encounter any danger this time" Rhine stretched out his hand and moved, signaling that he was okay. "And Daddy, look, isn't this set of armor on me very majestic! This is my reward for participating in the battle. ”
"This armor is majestic! But...... You've really gone through life and death, haven't you? Xue Ji looked at the exclusive coat of arms of the Longyuan Kingdom on his armor, and his face showed a worried expression.
"Daddy! We're grown up and can protect ourselves, so you don't have to worry about us. Harrester grumbled.
"Good, good...... You've really grown up, it's time to get out there! If you stay in this remote mountain village for the rest of your life, you won't be productive! Xue Ji patted the two teenagers on the shoulder.
"Huh? Who is this young lady? "Xue Ji suddenly saw La Niña on the side.
"Hello uncle, I'm friends of Rhine and Hallest, we met at the Great Gate." La Niña preemptively replied.
"Oh, friend, welcome to my house! I just got ten eggs from the city, and I'll cook them for you later!" "It's nice to see people coming to our house during the snow season. This man is not the same as those ordinary villagers......
"Eggs in the city?" Rhein frowned.
Hallrest was thoughtful, too.
"The village that belongs to Ota City issued by the lord of the city can receive ten coins for each family. When I was working in the fields in the afternoon, I saw a lot of people running into the city, and I found out after asking. Xue Ji still had an unbelievable expression on his face when he said this, but he did come back with ten eggs.
"Oh, don't talk about that, I'm going to make you egg bread! Just sit down in the room for a while. "Snow Season wiped his hands and prepared to go to the kitchen.
"I don't sit, I want to eat fish, I'm going to catch it in the river." Hallester said.
"Oh, then you go, come back early."
"We'll go too." Rhine called La Niña as well.
......
Under the pretext of catching fish, the three of them came to the river where they had just returned.
"What are you going to do?" La Niña asked, looking at the muddy turquoise water.
"No need to catch it, there are no fish in here, the fish have already been caught." Hallrest walked along the river and found a meadow to sit down.
"So what are we going to do?" La Niña was speechless.
"Although the fish that are easy to catch are gone, there are still many delicious foods that are difficult to get in this mountain stream." Hallester said.
"Then what are you waiting for, take me there." La Niña is a little impatient. She's never looked for food on her own, which must have been fun.
"There's an arboreal slime ......in the mountain stream where the food is the most fed," Rhine reminded embarrassedly.
"Slime?! Is it that slimy pudding-like monster? La Niña was suddenly frightened, she was not afraid of Aredor in the face of this slime.
Slimes are monsters that deserve to be the natural enemies of girls......
"yes...... Are you going to go now? Hallester looked at the girl in the magic robe and smiled evilly.
A slimy image flashed through La Nina's mind.
"Don't go !!"
Both Harrest and Rhein laughed.
"Let's go, there's still a mountain to eat, but there are a lot of wild boars in it, and it was there that Hallest's head was broken by wild boars when he was a child." Rhine pointed to a large mountain forest.
Hallest: "......"
......
It is a secluded forest, and the soil between the trees is black and soft, and people can walk on it and make shallow footprints.
As soon as Rhine entered, he drew his great sword and cut down a slightly thicker tree.
"You, you...... What are you doing! This mountain is mine, and the slime mountain is yours! Harrester looked at the fallen tree duty Rhine.
"Wouldn't it be nice if you went to my territory one day and dug one up and planted it......" Rhine was unmoved, and continued to cut the cut tree into several pieces.
"What? You two are actually kings of the mountain? La Niña whispered.
"Lord La Nina, believe me, you can also pick a mountain to occupy now, and the price of land will increase in a few years, and you will definitely be able to sell it for a good price!" Harrestle encouraged the daughter of the second prince of the current king to occupy a hill......
"I don't need to...... Just be happy yourself......" La Nina hurriedly excused herself, if it was spread that her image of the saint would be ruined.
"We don't have many bowls at home, and if we don't cut a bowl for La Nina, she'll ......have to eat it with her hand when she gets back later," Rhine explained.
The image of herself holding the rice in her hand and the soup in her hand flashed through La Nina's mind.
"Harrest, shut up! Hurry up and find something to eat! Rhine, you go on, sharpen well. ”
......
Because there are many wild beasts in the woods, few people come here except for the Rhine and Halleds. So some of the wild animals here haven't been eaten yet.
Looking down, there was a small white mushroom that could be found everywhere on the black ground. Its name is white bulb mushroom, which is non-toxic and has a salty taste, and can be slightly added to the soup to achieve the function of freshness. Harrester took out a cloth bag and picked a little of the little mushroom.
The three of them walked slowly through the woods, and when they reached a place. From the ground, a tall tree was hung with purple fruit. This tree is called Hydrangea Tree, and the adult tree can be ten zhang tall, and its fruit is bitter before ripening, and only slightly sour when ripe.
Rhine picked up a few stones from the ground and threw them at the handle of the fruit, knocking them down with ease.
"These are ripe, but they still taste very sour. After a while, it would be nice to go back and pound the jam and eat it with bread. Rhine tossed the fruit to Hallest, who put it in a bag.
"Eh, it's another seasoning ingredient, are there any hard goods?" They have found a lot of ingredients, but few of them can be eaten directly. La Niña looked at the woods and worried.
"Yes, further along, we'll be in the boar's territory." Hallrest said, looking at the boar's footprints on the ground.
"Oh, you two remember to protect me later." La Nina heard that girls would be cute if they were weaker.
Hallester looked up and saw that it was not too early, and he didn't bother to go to the lone boar again. He yelled twice at the depths of the forest, then climbed up the tree. "Rhine, I'll leave it to you!"
As soon as Harrester climbed the tree, he remembered the "humming" of wild boars in the forest, and could sense that a whole herd must have come......
A strong boar was the first to burst out of the bush and attacked the two men who were still below.
Rhine drew his long sword, and with a slight stab, the boar's cranial nerves were destroyed, and the unconscious boar could only fall to the ground and convulse.
Almost the next moment, two large wild boars rushed out from behind the bushes. But instead of attacking, they hesitated to look at their companions who were lying on the ground twitching.
Rhine didn't take the initiative to kill them, and a wild boar was a little overwhelmed. If these wild boars don't come up and attack them, letting them go is the best option.
The wild boars gathered more and more, and later the three of them were already surrounded.
Rhine really didn't want to kill indiscriminately, he urged the Flame Sun Sacred Seal, and spit out a big fireball like in a circus performance. The bright glow of the fireball stained the entire forest red, and the wild boars immediately fled in all directions.
"Wow, the little princess of the Rhine is still so kind!" Hallester screams in the trees.
"Shut up, come down and carry the boar!" Rhine hated that Harrest called him Princess, which sounded giving.
The three of them collected the ingredients and returned to the village.
