Chapter 60: It's All Valuables
You can't take away the supplies of the whole village for a winter.
Even if they are all given to them, there are no storage conditions for the forest elves, and there is no place to store them.
If the food becomes moldy and spoiled, the loss will be great, so everyone's practice is to come and go from the village of Senjinling once a day, or every once in a while, to the Demon King City.
It's not far away anyway. And the forest elves seem to want to see the Demon King City very much, and they are vying to be the representatives of the goods.
Everyone felt that it was an honor to be a representative of the village and the Demon King City, and they also felt new about the delivery of goods. The most important thing is to be able to go out in the only two sets of thick clothes.
Those two sets of down jackets have been regarded as the high-end treasures of the forest elves, and no one is usually allowed to touch them, and only at this time can they be worn justifiably.
Women love clothes. I want to experience the warmth and softness.
According to Isa, in order to give everyone a chance to experience the feeling of a down jacket, everyone decided to take turns in charge of this job.
For Isa's grinning explanation, Li Muran couldn't laugh at all.
Li Muran seriously considered whether to add a few more sets of down jackets to the forest elves.
In the future, Li Muran and Bella will not have to go to the village of the forest elves in person.
But I have to go in the near future.
Today's job is to teach the forest elves to cook and help the forest elves repair the dilapidated house.
Anyone can cook, and now even the crumb demon king like Bella has learned to stir-fry, let alone the hundred-year-old forest elves at every turn.
Life experience can beat Li Muran for several lives, how can he not know how to cook.
Li Muran went to teach the grandmother-level forest elf to cook, which was a bit like playing with a big knife in front of Guan Gong. It's like looking down on people when you say it.
But Li Muran mainly taught everyone how to use modern spices. These are things that the forest elves haven't been exposed to in the past.
The goal is not only to fill your stomach with cooked food, but also to make it delicious.
Whether the food tastes good or not has nothing to do with filling the stomach, but delicious food can make you feel better, which has a huge spiritual significance for surviving the cold winter.
"Isha, do you have any seasoning?"
"Seasoning?"
was questioned by Li Muran, Isha showed an incomprehensible expression, as if she was saying, 'I can't eat rice, how can I think about seasonings'?
I was stunned for a moment, and finally reacted.
"It's salt. We sometimes find mineral salts. Every time mineral salt is discovered, the village celebrates it as if it were a festival. In addition to mineral salt, some mushrooms with a special flavor are also used, and there are also spicy leaves. But those things are luxuries. It's been a long time since I've come across it. So when I ate delicious food in Demon King City, I was almost moved to cry. ”
"Salt is really precious."
"Yes. Not only for our forest spirits, but also for other species that live in the forest. I remember a bag of salt in exchange for an incident that stopped a huge battle. ”
Isha clenched her fists to let Li Muran know the weight of the bag of salt.
Only the size of a fist.
There is a big gap with the 'bag' in Li Muran's mind.
With just a fist or so of salt, you can make an angry enemy retreat, and eventually replace the lives of a large number of people. No matter how you look at it, it's so appropriate.
But according to Isa, the patriarch at that time had thought about it for a long time and made a huge determination.
After sending the salt out, the distressed people were going to cry.
You can see the value of salt.
When Isha and Li Muran finished explaining, Li Muran deliberately took out the bagged salt he bought yesterday.
It weighs 10 pounds. Packed in an oversized bag.
Isha looked curiously at the bag that Li Muran deliberately gave her.
"What is this?"
"It's salt. for you. It's a little heavy, can I hand it over to you to carry? ”
"This, this is salt? So much? Are they all given to us? ”
"It's a precious gift. We can't afford it. ”
"That's enough to exchange us for decades."
Not only Isa, but even the two forest elves were shocked.
In fact, there is salt in the instant noodles and other foods that everyone used to eat. But the forest elves don't understand, which is why they are so surprised to see such a big bag of salt.
If they knew they had ingested enough salt yesterday, they wouldn't have made such a fuss.
Isa, who was holding the salt, trembled with her hands, and carefully pushed it back to Li Muran for fear of accidentally breaking the salt.
"Lord Li Muran, this gift is too heavy. I, we can't have it. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, you take it. How can you cook without salt? ”
Li Muran generously pushed the salt back to Isa.
There's really nothing to be petty about.
Salt is much cheaper than anything else.
If salt can be filled, Li Muran can't wait to replace all other materials with salt.
Isha looks like she doesn't dare to ask for it, but she wants it very much, and her reaction is very cute.
In the end, after several shirks, I still accepted it.
Isha and the other forest elves carefully gathered around the bag of salt as if to protect the treasure.
"This is a super valuable thing, everyone must protect it."
"Isha, let's accept such a valuable gift from the Demon King Army again. This time there is even more debt to the Demon King Army. ”
"I think you have to make up your mind and send yourself over sooner. There's no way to fool around with this. ”
After listening to the forest elf companions, Isha also sighed loudly.
Turning his head to look at Li Muran's side face, his heartbeat accelerated again, and his face flushed.
"I, I see."
Salt is a must. Anyone who has taken a biology class and has a little common sense knows it.
In addition to salt, there are also soy sauce, monosodium glutamate, and several bags of miso for making noodles.
I don't know the taste of the forest elves, so I prepare these common seasonings first.
The food is rice, noodles, some seasonal vegetables, and some meat.
"That's right. Isa, can you forest elves eat meat? ”
Actually, this is not a problem, after all, Isha has been eating for the past few days after taking care of Isha.
There is also meat in instant noodles and sausages, and the forest elves also eat them.
But because the elves in various otherworldly novels are set to not eat meat, I still asked curiously.
"Of course. Otherwise, how can you have the physical strength to survive in a harsh environment. All of us are hunters, and since we are going to hunt, of course we will eat meat. ”
Fiction and reality really don't match.
"Sorry for the strange question."
"It's nothing, I'm willing to answer whatever Master Li Muran asks. It's a bonus for me. ”
"Huh?"
Dropping an inexplicable sentence, Isa's face turned red and ran over to help the forest elf.
There were a lot of things, so Li Muran bought a small cart, except for the ones that could be carried, and the rest was pulled by the forest elves.
It was heavy and heavy, and it was very difficult to walk in the snow, but the forest elves were very happy.
Everyone also sang songs.
