Near the deep mountains, a huge, towering tree had collapsed into a large pit, overgrown with weeds.
The eldest brother plunged headfirst into the pit, emerging with a small, seed-shaped red flower in his mouth.
Hiss. (Dodo.)
The patriarch's eyes lit up; it was actually ginseng seeds.
Such a large bunch of ginseng must be quite old.
The old man just said that Feng and Kong needed ginseng to nourish them, and here it is!
"Boss, come out. Don't break the ginseng roots. I'll dig it up and plant it in my space."
He peered inside and found that the mud was loose, probably from when they had nudged it with their heads and tails. No wonder they were covered in mud.
Hiss. (Xiangxiang wants to eat.)
"Alright, alright, you and the second son both get a share. Come on, come out quickly, don't break it."
There are several plants, and they were the ones who found them, so they should be given some. Besides, there are ginseng seeds, so we won't have to worry about not having ginseng in the future if we plant them in the space.
The ginseng plants, soil and all, were moved into the space. There were six plants in total. Three were planted on the freshly turned ground, and the soil was carefully removed from the other three. The ginseng seeds were then planted on the remaining three.
Then, they put the pile of wild vegetables and the five wild boars tied up like rice dumplings into their spatial storage, and the two people and two snakes disappeared.
This trip was incredibly fruitful.
After thinking for a moment, Xie Lin slipped out again, pulled some grass and brought it in, then wove a grass basket.
After coming out of the mountains, how could we not bring something home? Let's all have some wild vegetables tonight.
He put two bundles of wild vegetables into a basket, then added two strings of sweet potatoes. That was about ten, enough for everyone to have a taste.
As soon as the two snakes went in, they took their ginseng with them and started washing it.
They are now refined snakes, not coarse snakes. As the elders say, what we put in our mouths must be clean.
"Hey, what's this stick? Neither Ugly nor I saw it. It must have been the eldest and second eldest who found it."
Shishi was helping to sort wild vegetables and found many unfamiliar "sticks" with white flesh, some of which were sticky, but smelled delicious.
"The eldest and second eldest are amazing. They found some yams, and they're really delicious. We'll steam some and put them in the warehouse later so you can eat them as snacks when you're hungry."
After thinking for a while, I wove a basket, put two yams in it, and then tied a duck in and put it in too. Yam stewed with wild duck should be pretty good.
All five pigs were alive. Xie Lin chose one male and one female to keep and raise. There was still some wood left over, so he built a pigpen next to the cattle pen.
Wild boars are fierce and untamed. Xie Lin was worried that they would wreak havoc in the space, so he asked Shi Shi to give the two of them a mental suggestion: kill them if they disobeyed.
To save their lives, the two pigs dared not speak out against their anger.
There's no way around it, these humans are too ruthless. They prey on their own kind right in front of them, and then, with swift and decisive strikes, they're swift and deadly.
That silly two-legged creature said that if they had many free babies, they wouldn't kill them.
Just endure it and have babies.
"Shishi, bring a clean basin. I'll make you some blood sausage later. It's delicious."
Once, while on a mission in the north, he ate pig blood sausage there, which was very delicious. He asked the locals about the general method of making it.
When Shishi hears there's something delicious to eat, she's more enthusiastic than anyone else.
Three pigs, filled a whole basin with pig's blood.
"Shishi, there's some white starch and some white wine in a clear bottle in the kitchen. Go get them, and also get two basins. I'll teach you how to clean the pig intestines. They need to be cleaned thoroughly before you can make blood sausage."
Pig intestines need to be washed with wood ash to get them clean, but we don't have wood ash here, so we can only use powder instead, which is plentiful anyway.
Alcohol can mask odors, making the intestines cleaner after washing.
"Okay, sure."
The two divided the work: one cleaned the meat, and the other boiled water to remove the hair and cut the meat.
With so much meat, he wanted to cut it into strips, marinate it, and make some cured meat that the little girl liked to eat.
He had instant noodles in his stash, and that day he curiously opened a packet of braised pork noodles and ate a little. It was fragrant and crispy, but that wasn't the point. What he was interested in was the seasoning packet inside.
He prepared a packet of instant noodles according to the instructions and ate it; the aroma almost made him dizzy.
The seasoning packet contains ingredients, and he needs to find all of them to make braised meat.
The little girl loves meat so much; she must have eaten many delicious foods in her world. It's a shame that she can only eat simple boiled and braised dishes here.
After the two snakes finished eating the fragrant ginseng, they happily approached each other, their mouths watering at the sight of the delicious-smelling meat.
"Go have fun, you can't eat now, we'll grill meat for you later."
Since raw food has a strong fishy smell, the patriarch decided to feed the two snakes cooked food whenever he had time.
Hiss hiss hiss. (No playing, time to work.)
The patriarch watched helplessly as the two rascals cheerfully carried out the empty buckets that had been collected earlier, and then huffed and puffed as they worked together to wash them.
They thought they were very experienced after being washed last time, skillfully holding the bucket in place with their bodies and their tails curled up like small brooms while waiting for the water to come out, only to be dumbfounded.
Ugly wasn't around, so no one was giving them water.
Hiss. (Can't work.)
The head of the family didn't understand, but miraculously saw grievance in the eyes of the two.
He shook his head and chuckled.
Why wash the tub? We don't need to now.
They're such a pair of clowns.
"Go play, or if you don't want to play, go till the soil and we'll grow more vegetables."
"Hey, you should plant wild vegetables too, Shishi's still covered in mud." The person working diligently replied without looking up.
"good."
He had just discovered that the pile of wild vegetables contained seasonings such as wild onions, wild garlic, and wild ginger, which were perfect for planting.
Next time, I'll find some small chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns, then I won't have to worry about seasonings.
We also need to plant sweet potatoes, which are a great way to fill our stomachs.
Having received their task, the two snakes no longer felt aggrieved and went to work, shaking their heads and swaying their bodies.
Time flew by as the two people and two snakes busied themselves.
Seeing the pork strips and blood sausages hanging on several drying racks filled me with immense satisfaction.
