Jiang Xue has long been accustomed to getting up early.
Especially in an unfamiliar place, even if she was provided with a single room, she would have woken up when the people of the Surabaya tribe were tiptoeing outside the house.
She did not forget why she came out. She originally wanted to say goodbye to them and leave this morning, but the other party disagreed.
Especially when the chief of the Sishui tribe heard that she was leaving, he almost knelt down in front of her. Jiang Xue really couldn't bear to refuse his kindness, so she decided to stay in the Sishui tribe for another two days.
Even though he knew Jiang Xue was going to leave anyway, the chief of the Sishui tribe was still very happy that she could stay.
They had prepared food for Jiang Xue early on, which was a jungle grouse roasted to golden brown with oil dripping from its skin and some cleanly washed wild grapes.
"I saw that you didn't eat much last night. I guessed that you didn't like the food last night, so today I specially made you a jungle chicken that none of us can bear to eat. Would you like to try it?"
Looking at the chief who was so attentive to her, Jiang Xue was used to eating fried and boiled food in the Snake Tribe, so she was not really interested in these barbecued foods.
Out of politeness, she tore off a chicken leg and started eating it.
For her, the fresh and juicy wild grapes made her mouth water.
These grapes were crystal clear, and each one was about the size of her thumb. She was very curious that such grapes could be wild.
"Your grapes here are really good."
Jiang Xue tasted one and praised the sweet and sour grape highly.
When the patriarch heard that Jiang Xue might like to eat these grapes, he waved his hand and asked Arnold to bring up a few bunches of grapes on banana leaves.
With these fruits, the roast chicken in front of Jiang Xue was hardly touched.
After breakfast, Ajin said to her, "Xue Wu, didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to go look for bamboo? I know where you can find some. How about I take you there?"
Jiang Xue smiled brightly after hearing this. This was her ultimate purpose for joining the Sishui tribe.
The sooner you find bamboo, the more bamboo rhizomes you can dig out and take back to plant. As long as you manage them properly, the tribe will be able to use these bamboos in one or two years.
She readily agreed: "Okay, thank you so much."
Ajin led the way in front with a beaming look on his face. Jiang Xue had just arrived and seemed particularly interested in the surrounding environment.
Especially when she saw the short bamboo leaves and tall palm trees around the Si Shui tribe.
Reed leaves, also known as zong leaves, are one of the materials used to wrap rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival.
Not to mention the palm tree, its most famous use is definitely to make palm-leaf fans and as a rope to tie wrapped rice dumplings.
Jiang Xue was almost unable to walk when she saw these two things. These two things were not found in the Snake Tribe. If they could be transplanted back and allowed to grow freely, then in a few years, the tribe would be able to eat rice dumplings!
Jiang Xue took a quick glance and quickly looked away. She was thinking in her mind how to take them back and plant them.
Ajin led the way in front. The clan leader was afraid that they would encounter some danger, so he sent people to follow them, under the pretext of "protection".
Jiang Xue saw through it but didn't point it out, and just let him go.
Under Ajin's leadership, they finally arrived at the Xiangfei Bamboo after many twists and turns.
As soon as Jiang Xue saw the bamboos, her eyes lit up.
If she didn't know the spell of teleportation, she would never have been able to reach the Sishui tribe so quickly, let alone find these bamboos.
"Snow Witch, take a look at this bamboo. Is it what you're looking for?"
Ajin pointed at Xiangfei Bamboo and asked.
Jiang Xue looked at it carefully and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, this is the bamboo I'm looking for."
After she finished speaking, she looked up at him and said, "Ajin, give me a hoe quickly. I want to dig some bamboo shoots."
Ah Jin was very surprised: "Xue Wu, why are you digging bamboo whips? I can just chop as many bamboos as you want. Why bother with all that effort?"
Jiang Xue shook her head. "If you cut one, there's only one. Once you use it up, there's nothing left. I want to dig up some bamboo shoots and try planting them to see if they can survive."
Ah Jin stopped insisting, scratched his hair, and said, "Well, if you say so, I'll go back and get you a hoe."
Ajin ran quickly towards the tribe. Jiang Xue was not familiar with the people who followed him, so she just smiled at them in a friendly manner and then began to carefully examine the Xiangfei bamboos.
After all, it was the famous Xiangfei bamboo, with white, red, brown and different shaped spots on it. Jiang Xue saw it with her own eyes and felt happy in her heart.
With these Xiangfei bamboos of suitable sizes, they can be used to make pen holders, flutes or Xiaos in the future.
As for the horn of the Surabaya tribe, she was not too impressed.
That thing requires buffalo horns, but the Snake Tribe doesn't have any buffaloes now, only cattle, so we have to put this one aside.
She walked around the clump of Xiangfei bamboo and was thinking about where to start digging when a beautiful green plant came into her sight.
She walked forward curiously, her eyes suddenly widening.
Taro!
This is taro leaf!
Seeing her ecstatic expression, Arnold, who had been following her, said strangely: "Snow Witch, why are you staring at it? It's not edible."
Arnold's words brought Jiang Xue back to reality. She stared at her in confusion: "It can't be eaten?"
"Yes, it's poisonous. If you get any of their juice on you, you'll itch terribly."
After hearing what she said, Jiang Xue suddenly stopped talking.
This is mainly because there is a substance called oxalic acid on the surface of taro, which is a highly alkaline mucus. It will irritate human skin, so it will cause itching, but it does not mean that taro is poisonous!
