[Sweet Romance, Ancient Times, 1V1] Shu Yue was a pampered rich young lady, spoiled by her doting parents. Unfortunately, she was raised to be arrogant and willful, squandering a perfectly good han...
"I'll help you taste it."
She waved her hand, "No need. I'll know if it's edible or not. You won't know even if you try it."
Wente: “…” Well, all leaves taste the same in his mouth.
Next, Shu Yue began to taste the herbs. Whenever she saw a different variety, she would try it as long as it was not poisonous.
But there are not just a few species in this area, there are hundreds of species, some of which are edible!
Their strange behavior puzzled the people picking fruits in the distance. What was so delicious about grass?
Miao Xiaocui's eyes were filled with even more contempt, and she wondered in her heart if this female named Shu Yue was a fool, otherwise why would she eat grass?
What a pity, a pretty face doesn't have a smart brain to match...
Yin Xiao also didn't understand, but didn't say anything. He just came out to have fun, and it was his freedom to eat grass if he wanted to.
Guoguo was very curious, so she asked her father to take her to Shuyue, and started shouting from a distance: "Shuyue, why are you eating grass?"
Shu Yue's face didn't look good, and she replied, "I'm just eating for fun, it's okay."
I tried more than a dozen kinds, and how can I describe the taste? It was earthy and fishy!
There are also several kinds of grass that are so smelly that it is unbearable. How can you possibly put such things in your mouth?
Guoguo and her father came over, both of them couldn't understand why. "The grass is so unpalatable. Shuyue, let's go pick some fruit."
She declined politely, "You guys pick them first, I'll go later. Oh, and remember to ask Miao Xiaocui to find some materials for making baskets."
"Um, aren't you going?" Guoguo watched her take a bite of grass and immediately spit it out, completely unaware of what she was doing.
Shu Yue shook her head, "No, I'll go in a while, I'm having fun..." She was having so much fun that she wanted to complain!
"Well, remember to come over when you've had enough fun." Guoguo couldn't persuade her, so she had to leave first. She still had to pick fruits.
"Father, let's go pick some fruit first." When leaving, he took a look at the leaves in Wente's hand. So this is how leaves can be used?
He turned around and said, "Father, I want a leaf like this too."
Her father said lovingly, "Okay, I'll find it for you."
When they returned to the fruit trees and passed by Yin Xiao and his female, Guo Guo said, "Cui, aren't you going to teach us how to weave baskets? Have you found the materials?"
Miao Xiaocui's face was sunburned red, and she was so hot that she wanted to go back to the cave right away. How could she have the mind to look for materials?
He said perfunctorily, "I'm looking for it. The materials may not be available here."
Guoguo didn't know whether what she said was true or not, she just knew that it would be a pity if it didn't happen.
"Then you must look carefully."
"Yeah." Miao Xiaocui nodded, indicating that she would definitely look for it carefully.
After Guoguo finished speaking, he and his father went to find the big leaf.
…
Shu Yue finally ate some delicious grass. It was a grass with small round red leaves on the top. The small round leaves were slightly sweet and could be eaten raw.
She thought it would taste good if eaten with barbecue, so she picked some and put them in a hide bag.
If only there was paper here, she could write down everything she had tried, so that she wouldn't have to try too many varieties and forget whether she had tried them next time.
After harvesting the small round leaves, she no longer thought this method was stupid. She had plenty of time anyway, so it didn't matter if the efficiency was low.
Perhaps this was a good start, as several more edible grasses were discovered, mostly sweet and crunchy. Again, these were relatively rare, likely eaten by herbivores. This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
