When she got there, Xia Lan saw not rice seedlings, but a two-meter-high forest. The humidity of the land here is higher than in the average mountain forest, which may depend on its location in the col.

The fruitful forest made Xia Lan look happy, even if it wasn't rice, it could be some other food.

Before approaching, she picked a fruit that looked about as tall as an orange tree. The leaves are half a meter long and the ends are pointed, like the leaves of rice seedlings, but larger.

The shape of this fruit looks like a walnut but the shape is longer. Xia Lan asked Cheng Hao to break the shell, and then revealed a long white fruit, half a finger long. Each fruit has seven to eight seeds.

Xia Lan broke a grain of grain, took a bite in her mouth, and was immediately surprised: "Oh, this is the taste of rice!" ”

With a purer flavor of rice, Xia Lan thinks that these rice grains are definitely worth bringing back!

"Witch Doctor, look here, this seems like the food you're looking for."

A half-orc flew to the corner on the other side and found some fruit particles in the puddle, so he quickly called "Xia Lan".

Cheng Hao took Xia Lan over and saw the clump of rice seedlings. Xia Lan couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "Rice! What good luck now, big luck. ”

It's like going out on a sunny day looking for food and finding not only rice seedlings, but also a special kind of rice.

Xia Lan looked at this wild rice, it looked very similar to what she had seen in her previous life, only taller and bigger.

As for the taste, Xia Lan took one and tasted it, well, it's not bad.

Xia Lan looked at the clump of rice seedlings and was very excited. Eventually, she found a staple food.

Come, put these ears of rice in a bag of hides. Forget it, I'll do it.

You don't need to do it, I'll do it. Cheng Hao took out an animal skin bag from the basket and handed it to her, then took out a bone knife, and directly cut off the rice ears and seedlings in bundles and put them into the animal skin bag.

Xia Lan is rare, and the particles on the ground need to be picked up.

After Cheng Hao finished cutting the piece, they also filled it with three animal skin bags.

That's not much.

But Xia Lan is also satisfied, it's better than not finding it. If these are used as seeds, you can eat a large chunk next year.

Witch Doctor, this thing is not as tasty as the white fruit on that tree, at least it is bigger

Don't worry, you'll love these particles in the future

However, the fruits of these trees also need to be picked on foot. Xia Lan asked everyone to pick fruits in baskets. After picking three carts of grain, he asked the three orcs to pick them up first, and then let them come back with the armor cubs. He also instructed them to bring back more than a dozen winged orcs to help deliver food.

Cheng Hao was arranged by Xia Lan to take some skilled orcs around looking for suitable bamboo to weave more baskets.

Although there are not many rice, the rice on this tree is quite abundant.

Xia Lan estimated that if they were all dismantled, there would still be more than ten years of food.

She is not only thinking about picking fruit, but also about transplanting.

She plans to transplant eight saplings back to the Lingye tribe first, so that they can have a place in their home to grow rice. As for planting tree rice, it's much easier. Plant some seedlings at the base of the mountain, water them often, and avoid water shortages, and there may be no problem.

She knew how to germinate and sow rice, but for the first time she saw how to increase the number of trees herself. This is a problem.

Many of the saplings on the ground should be the descendants of these rice plants. If you don't dig them up and plant them, please

Xia Lan carefully looked at the seedlings in the weeds under her feet, and indeed found many seedlings of tree rice. She quickly dug them out with a wooden shovel.

Lin Lin rummaged through the entire forest and dug up dozens of saplings.

Full of accomplishment.

And the Qinghe Mountain, which was guarding her by her side, had already picked many trees and rice when she was digging seedlings, and the few animal skin bags she brought were also full.

Witch doctor, what are you digging this sapling for? Oyama asked curiously.

Xia Lan said in high spirits: "Take it back and plant it." When we grow up, we may grow grains like these tree rice. If we succeed, we won't have to travel that far to harvest rice in the future

Grow your own

That's right! The same goes for those rice. Grow them yourself and you'll love them in the future. It tastes even better when eaten with meat

Oyama didn't quite believe this, he thought it was better to eat meat.

It's just this thing, he also took a sip. It really doesn't taste good, so why not eat those sour fruits?

Xia Lan also knew what they were thinking, so they wouldn't want to talk nonsense. Once they have rice, they will know its benefits.

Hmph, it's a food that everyone on the planet loves.

found the main grain, Xia Lan, and also settled a lot. Let's go pick something that might be cotton in a few weeks.

If the cotton is also put away for chatting, they won't have to worry too much this winter.

Although I haven't been to that place yet, my instinct tells Xia Lan that it should be the beast's version of cotton.

Xia Lan, do you think these baskets are enough?

In order to transport trees, rice, and fruits, Cheng Hao brought a few half-orcs in the afternoon and made several pairs of new baskets. As for the pole and other items, Xia Lan's seedlings and bamboo could not be found nearby, so they directly cut down the big branches as poles to carry the basket.

Xia Lan looked at the basket they brought back stupidly, and counted them, there were about twenty baskets.

OMG, my boyfriend is amazing!

In the afternoon, I took someone to weave so many baskets.

I think it's almost done. Leave the basket alone for now. Pick the trees and rice first, and when they come back, you can go back to the tribe as soon as possible

All right

Cheng Hao continued to pick trees, rice, and fruits with everyone.

Xia Lan wandered around and found two fresh wild vegetables, Artemisia lanceolata and Ma Lan.

Both of these wild vegetables are common in autumn and are more common in humid mountains, forests, and swamps. The tender leaves can be eaten as vegetables.

Cold dishes can be used to stir-fry soups, and also have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. Eating them is good for the body.

Once the yellow artemisia is ripe, the seeds can be collected and sown the following year.

So, when Xia Lan saw these willow leaf artemisia, he wanted to transplant half of them home and plant them, eat some young leaves, and then plant them for harvest and seed collection in the fall.

Witch doctor, should you eat this too? Dashan looked at him with a bitter face, and he felt that the biggest disadvantage of following the witch doctor was that he ate those wild grasses, aha, wild vegetables.

All the witch doctors can eat are wild vegetables, not weeds.

But he still loves to eat meat!

Of course, Xia Lan knew that these carnivores didn't like to eat vegetarian food, but the combination of meat and vegetables was necessary.

After all, they are all half-orcs. Because they can transform into humans, their bodies also need to be cared for and maintained just like humans.

It's okay to eat a lot of meat, but it's important to pair it with vegetables and pay attention to nutritional balance.

When these wild vegetables are grown, they become more and more delicious. Are you tired of eating meat

I'm not tired of it at all. I've been eating meat

Before, you still ate raw meat. Now that I've cooked the meat, don't eat it anymore

Belch......

Isn't that delicious? Can wild vegetables compare to meat?

Qing glanced at him and said, "Dashan, don't bother the witch doctor to find ingredients. Go pick trees, rice, and fruits. ”

Boss, I'm not lazy, I'm picking

Just idle, I wanted to chat with the witch doctor, surprised and curious.
