The group ate most of the pot of dog broth and water, and looked at the little girl next to her dumbfounded, and then even had a timid look on her face, obviously worried that Qin Fen and his group would eat too much and finally die here......

After dipping the last piece of dog meat in the sauce dish in chili red oil, chewing and swallowing it, Qin Fencai let out a long breath, raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, touched his belly and said:

"Whew~~ Eat it!"

Seeing that Qin Fen and the others had finished eating, the yellow-faced woman immediately came over with the little girl, swept the leftovers on the table into a large wooden bucket with numb hands and feet, picked up the towel on her shoulder and wiped it vigorously twice, and then came over to the front of the stall with a few bowls of rice porridge, and said:

"A few guest officers use it slowly, this is home-cooked millet porridge, and it is best to use it to get greasy."

Qin Fendao:

"Well, how much?"

The yellow-faced woman hurriedly waved her hand:

"How dare you collect money from guest officials, this is what you plan to eat at noon, it's not worth a few dollars, it's a free gift to a few guest officials!"

Qin Fen glanced at the millet porridge and found that the rice fat was yellow, and the rice used was chestnut rice, which was really worthless, so he nodded and agreed.

Chestnut rice is the staple food of human beings in Middle-earth, this kind of food is very similar to millet, but the taste is not to mention, even if you put more water in it to steam, or even boil gruel, you will feel that there is a taste of raw rice, no matter how many times you chew, when you swallow it, you will cut your throat, as if you are eating bran.

This thing is the same as the "barnyard weed" in the rice field, and it is the ration for feeding pigs in modern times, where is it on the table?

But even with all its shortcomings, there is only one advantage that has established its unshakable status as a staple food, and that is its high yield.

As the saying goes, "one good covers a hundred ugliness", the advantage of this chestnut rice is that it is easy to feed, and the requirements for the environment are very low, unlike rice, which has to grow in a high temperature and humid environment, otherwise it will have a false ear, so it is one of the staple foods planted by the residents of Middle-earth, and the yield is comparable to the new Liangyou No. 2 after applying Stanley compound fertilizer!

The only advantage of this bowl of rice porridge is that it has been boiled long enough that the rice fat has been boiled out, and the soup is quite viscous, with a little peanuts and red beans added to it, and it is steaming.

After Qin Fen took a sip, he found that there was a faint fragrance of herbs and trees in the rice porridge, which was not strong, but quite timeless. When I asked, I learned that there is a piece of water not far from here, and there is a kind of calamus in the water, and the local scientific name is 'cattail', which is an annual herb.

The most important thing is that after the cattail grass is dried, there is a faint fragrance, which can not only add the fragrance of the grain, but also expel the moths, and can add a lot of color to the food.

However, most people can't afford to use cattail bags, because the labor involved in weaving them is huge.

At this time, it was already afternoon, and there were only two or three hunters resting, and there was no business to do, so the fat stall owner simply came over to chat, and explained:

"The young leaves of cattails can be picked from spring to make sprouts to eat, and it is not until July and August that the leaves grow enough to be used to rub ropes, but July and August are the rainy season, and to harvest cattails, you have to go to the water, which is both dangerous and labor-intensive."

"The environment in which cattails grow is similar to lotus and rice, but as long as there is a suitable place, it must be planted with rice instead of cattails, so the vast majority of cattails are wild, and if you want to cut the thick leaves of cattails, you must step barefoot into the silt, and then bend down to grope in the water to cut off the cattail leaves from the petioles, so that you have to harvest enough leaves for braiding bags, which is much more tiring than harvesting rice."

Saying that, he smiled and glanced at the yellow-faced woman next to him, and said triumphantly:

"I cut a rainy season calamus and weaved it into ten bags, and I used this as a dowry to marry Erin home!"

The yellow-faced woman's face was slightly red, and she glanced sideways at the man:

"What are you doing here, don't look at the stalls, be careful of neglecting the guests, I want you to look good when I go back at night!"

“……”

The little girl giggled next to her, presumably this kind of inadvertent warmth is the most beautiful embellishment in life.

Looking at this scene, Qin Fen and the others also shook their heads and smiled, sure enough, no matter what time and space they are, there is a strict existence of wife...

After coaxing his belly, Qin Fen asked the strangers who had passed by near here recently, and knew that the dragon slaying team that had retreated in embarrassment had passed here two days ago and retreated to the town of Mosal to rest, and in the past two days, there have also been adventurers passing by, but this terrain is flat, a thousand meters away, and there is definitely no chance of ambush, so no one will waste time here, and they will disperse everywhere after leaving the lonely mountain.

After getting these news, Qin Fen nodded, chatted with the stall owner for a few more words, and then got up and went on the road, before leaving, the couple also gave a pound of soju to quench their thirst on the road.

This sake is made by local residents using the local method, and strictly speaking, the taste is a little light, the content is only slightly higher than that of beer, and there are some unfiltered lees in the sake, which can be described as ordinary. However, these are goodwill gifts, and everyone will naturally not refuse, and after the silver lady took it, she smiled and gave some needles and threads, which can be regarded as a return gift. The two sides then waved goodbye.

After walking to a deserted and uninhabited path, presumably that Smaug was absolutely incapable of killing quickly, Qin Fen decisively tried the effect of the Blood Crown.

It is also very peculiar to say, that cup can automatically fill with blood, after drinking it, you can feel that the blood is more like having life, turning into countless drops in the body and scurrying around, as if it is a naughty naughty child, hitting the muscles and muscles, Qin Fen can even hear the hearty moaning/groaning of the muscles and bones in the body...... In the end, it was as if the blood had been integrated into his body.

Immediately after, although Qin Fen was sitting, he couldn't help but stumble and almost fell, and there was an indescribable dizziness all over his body, as well as a fluttering pleasure.

After about twenty minutes of enjoyment in this fluttering feeling, Qin Fen slowly returned to normal at this time, he only felt as if he had slept for seven or eight days all over his body, refreshed, and so energetic that he almost screamed.

When Qin Fen raised his head, he found that a group of people were looking at him with strange eyes, especially Miss Yinzi, whose willow eyebrows were slightly raised, and her fair cheeks were still slightly flushed, seven points of shame and three points of disgust.

"What's wrong?"

Nina grinned:

"Dear Qin, have you taken aphrodisiac/medicine? Will it feel like you're dying of an explosion? ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Miss Yinzi, "Do you want us to avoid it and make room for you?" It's not good for your body to hold it all the time~~"

"What's going on?"

Dwarf Lori giggled:

"Bad guy, you're getting a nosebleed!"

Only then did Qin Fen find two warm streams of heat flowing out of his nostrils, and he couldn't help but exclaim:

"I rely on ......"

"Hahaha."

Quite depressed and wiped off the nosebleed, Qin Fen figured out what happened. It turned out that after he drank the liquid in the Blood Crown, he fell into a groggy state, as if ordinary people were drunk, and there was no place to stay here.

After walking for a while, he found a stick against him, and felt the liquid dripping from his shoulder. Then everyone found that Qin Fen's nostrils were bleeding, and his lower body was towering...... Losing face in front of so many people, Miss Yinzi was naturally quite embarrassed, shook Qin Fen's two good-looking eyes, and turned her head away, refusing to pay attention to him.

Qin Fen looked at a group of giggling teammates, shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: My reputation is ruined!

Only then did he have time to look at his watch, and immediately saw a series of prompts:

"You drank the Blood Crown."

"Detected that you have taken Dragon Essence Blood, you triggered the Strength effect, your Stamina +1, Mental Power +1, Strength +1, Agility +1."

"Increases your max health by an additional 100 points."

"Your previous ailments have been cured."

"You have a temporary buff: Dragon's Blood Boils. You gain 25% increased Movement Speed, 20% Strength, and 8 Forced Damage Reduction. ”

"Status duration: 3600 seconds."

Qin Fen knew why he had a nosebleed, and why there was a 'pillar of optimus', it turned out that his luck collapsed to obtain the maximum effect, not to mention the increase in all attributes, and the chronic diseases in his body were also cured, no wonder he was warm like a hot spring at that time, and now think about it, isn't it the feeling when he is in charge of the whole body restorative treatment?

It's no wonder that Gandalf and his party would hit the target of the Blood Crown, this thing is worth a lot. Unfortunately, everyone only has a chance to get an attribute bonus when they drink it for the first time, and drinking it again will only provide a temporary buff that grants defense and health regeneration.

Qin Fen thought about it, then took out the Blood Crown and chose the state of the exhibition.

Name: Blood Crown

Weight: 666 grams

Material: Skin of the Dragon Alduin

Effect: Every 12 hours, a cup of dragon's blood will be filled, and after drinking, you will get a temporary buff of defense and health recovery speed, and the first time you drink it, you have a certain chance to completely cure the disease in your body and get a permanent attribute bonus.

Other uses: Unknown

This kind of good thing is naturally taken out and shared, in order to maximize the effect, the reason why Qin Fen didn't take it out before was mainly because he was afraid that Smaug would notice it, but now that he is one hundred and eighty miles away, he is naturally fearless.
