Taro is quite easy to eat; you can steam it, boil it, stir-fry it, stew it, or roast it.
So, in the end, Louis and Philodia dug up a bunch of taro, boiled half of them and ate them with dipping sauce, and roasted the other half like potatoes.
With the food problem solved, Louis and Fimmonloa were in the mood to chat with Sanning.
"Ningning, what's the situation on your end right now?"
"In the mountains and forests."
Sang Ning turned on the wide-angle view for them to see, but it was pitch black and they couldn't see anything. The light in the forest was incredibly dim, and the dense foliage made the falling moonlight useless.
Louis checked her location and was surprised to find that her location records overlapped with those of Kakachi and the others.
Curious, he asked, "Did you eliminate Kakaqi and Zhou Xiaoxiao?"
Sang Ning's lips twitched. "It has nothing to do with me. They brought it on themselves."
"How was it done?"
Then, Sang Ning briefly recounted the elimination process of Kakaqi and Zhou Xiaoxiao. After she finished speaking, Louis said speechlessly, "Kakaqi's luck is just unbelievable."
Philoya's focus was different: "Zhou Xiaoxiao is a ruthless person. Kakaqi's luck was so bad, yet she still managed to persevere to the end."
At this point, she gave Louis a look of utter disdain and complained, "At least Kakashi has luck. You have nothing, but you're number one at causing trouble and making a mess."
That was going too far, and Louis disagreed, starting a fight with her.
Sang Ning was too lazy to listen to their verbal sparring, so she left Fimonloa's live stream and, after looking around, decided not to continue her journey.
Then, using the light from the fire, she built a simple shack that could only accommodate one person.
Then, she asked the audience to keep an eye on things for her, swept some medicinal powder around the shack, and then very confidently went inside to sleep.
audience,"···"
Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, I'm speechless except for admiration.
She's actually sleeping! Sleeping in a place like this is just ridiculous! What if the boy cries wolf?
[What was the powder she sprinkled before entering the shack for? I spend a lot of time outdoors and desperately need this kind of powder to repel insects and snakes.]
Why isn't she in that weird position anymore? She's sleeping now.
[She's probably not sound asleep. I won't say anything more; we'll just keep an eye on things for her.]
That's all we can do.
As a result, the audience who stared all night and saw nothing were left with nothing.
Sang Ning opened her eyes and crawled out of the shack to greet everyone.
Good morning, everyone.
The audience greeted her with good morning. While chatting with the audience, Sang Ning rekindled the nearly extinguished fire, then took out her toiletries from her basket and washed herself in the river water.
After washing up, she buried a few potatoes under the fire that had been rekindled, and fried the leftover rabbit meat from yesterday to eat. That was how she managed to make do with breakfast.
Then, I packed my things and prepared to set off.
The audience urged her to rest, but Sang Ning, while putting out the fire, said, "One night's rest is enough. Let's walk slowly for now, and once the food has been digested, we can march quickly."
That works too.
Half an hour later, Sang Ning appeared on a slope covered with pine trees, very large pine trees. Sang Ning didn't know what kind of pine trees they were, but she did know one thing: these pine trees grew pine cones.
Pine cones larger than an adult male's fist hung from the branches, and some fell to the ground.
In the pine forest, a little squirrel was busy carrying pine cones. Seeing those pine cones, Sang Ning shamefully became greedy.
Ever since her soul transmigrated to this world, she hasn't eaten pine nuts.
It's a bit strange, though, why are there pine cones this season?
Bending down to pick up a pine cone, Sang Ning tapped it against a stone to release some pine nuts. She picked one up, peeled it, and popped it into her mouth.
The audience exclaimed with delight, as if they had discovered a new continent—
[New food? What is this? Is it tasty?]
Quick, quick, Ningning, let us have a taste!
This is ridiculous! I always thought this thing was inedible. Even when I saw squirrels picking it, I just thought they were eating the shell. Turns out there's something inside. Intelligent life can eat it.
So the question is, how much food have I missed over the years, and how much food have my ancestors missed?
Sang Ning laughed, "These are pine cones, the fruit of the pine tree. What we eat is not the pine cone itself, but the pine nuts inside. The squirrels do the same; they bring the pine cones back to their nests and crack out the pine nuts to eat."
As she spoke, she placed pine nuts in her palm for the audience to see, "These are pine nuts. They can be eaten raw or roasted."
"It belongs to the nut category and tastes very good."
"In addition, pine nuts also contain unsaturated fatty acids, phosphorus, manganese, etc., which can improve brain cell function and nerve function... Also, because they contain unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic acid and linoleic acid, they can also soften blood vessels."
At this point, Sang Ning peeled another pine nut for the audience to try. "I don't know the specific variety of this pine nut, but it's of good quality. The shell is thin, the kernel is plump, and it's very rich in oil. It tastes delicious."
The audience deeply agreed, realizing that this kind of food, which they had overlooked for countless years, was truly delicious.
The freshly shelled pine nuts release a unique aroma as you chew them, making for a fantastic virtual eating experience.
The food was so good that the audience couldn't help but keep praising it, and many decided to pick some pine cones from the nature reserve to eat as pine nuts.
Sang Ning thought it was feasible and instructed, "Only pick pine cones, remember to leave some for the squirrels, and also, don't pick any poisonous mushrooms to risk your life."
The audience burst into laughter at these words.
Sang Ning was terrified by their habit of frequently eating poisonous mushrooms and ending up in medical centers for treatment, so she constantly reminded them not to mess around.
I've been so worried about them.
The audience appreciated Sang Ning's good intentions, but whether or not they would obey was up to them; they made no promises.
Sang Ning didn't expect them to make any promises. She had already told them that whether or not to listen was not up to them; adults need to be responsible for all their actions.
She believes the audience knows what's going on, and she can't stop them from really courting disaster.
However, given the types of antidotes available in this world, the probability of dying from poisoning is extremely low.
So she stopped worrying and focused on picking up the pine cones.
Soon, she had gathered a pile of pine cones, and then she was hit by a squirrel that mistook her for someone else and threw pine cones at her.
Sang Ning wasn't angry; she just took it as the little squirrel giving her pine cones.
"Thanks, little elves."
Shaking the pine cone that the squirrel had knocked down, Sang Ning smiled and cracked out the pine nuts, then threw the cone away and continued with her work.
