"Nanqing, why have your lips gotten so chubby?"
"Huh? Really? I don't think so..."
Duoya peeked out again, looking around, and realized she had gotten fatter and was even redder than before.
Nan Qing quickly pushed her away and changed the subject: "Aren't you going to pick that leafy green?"
Once again, I feel that Mo Ye should really be a member of the Bull Clan, and a Savage Bull at that!
Duoya looked over, shook her head, and said with a hint of disgust, "That leafy vegetable doesn't taste good; it's bitter."
Nan Qing felt that she hadn't made a mistake, so she reached out and used the system to check.
Lettuce
[Non-toxic, leaves and stems are edible, and it has cooling and heat-relieving properties.]
Looks like I wasn't mistaken.
Even the lettuce grew stronger after arriving in this beast world, reaching almost to her waist in height, with a stem as thick as her calf; she almost didn't recognize it.
Nan Qing tried, but... she couldn't pull it out.
So she could only use a stone knife to cut it, but before she could even start, Duoya stopped her and pulled the lettuce out by the roots.
Nan Qing looked at the enormous lettuce, then at the large hole in the ground, and silently gave Duo Ya a thumbs up.
Duoya smiled shyly, but still advised, "Nanqing, this leafy green really doesn't taste good."
Nan Qing pointed to the stem of the lettuce: "This leafy vegetable is mainly eaten from this part. After peeling, the inside is tender and crisp, and it's great to eat this in the hot season."
"You can cook it in soup or eat it raw, but the best way to eat it is to stir-fry it in a pot or on a stone slab with animal fat and then add some salted fruit. It tastes very good."
Then Nanqing told her to peel the lettuce. When she saw the bright green lettuce flesh inside, Duoya finally believed it. Before she could say anything to Nanqing, she grabbed the lettuce and ran towards Baiya.
However, Nanqing didn't see many lettuce in this valley, probably because the seeds drifted in from somewhere and landed here.
As the sun set, all the rocky hills in the valley had been dug up. The backs of more than a dozen giant wolves were filled with rattan baskets, and the females rode on the backs of the males, galloping back to the tribe in a grand procession.
Nan Qing was still sitting in the spot near Mo Ye's neck. Having spent the whole day in the valley without taking a nap, she was now lying on Mo Ye's soft fur, the warm breeze blowing by, and her eyelids began to droop, feeling sleepy.
Mo Ye seemed to sense her soft body pressed against him, so he slowed his pace slightly, making his running rhythm more steady, and turned his head slightly to look behind him.
He walked at the very back of the group, deliberately keeping a distance from the wolves to avoid the dust they kicked up choking the person on his back. His ears were also perked up, constantly watching for any sounds around him.
When Nanqing woke up, she found herself already lying in bed. The only light in the stone house was the dim glow of the campfire, but she could smell the aroma of roasted meat again.
Sure enough, as soon as I stepped out of the stone house, I saw Mo Ye sitting on a small stone stool with dozens of skewers of grilled meat in front of him. They were all grilled in the same way she did in the valley, with the meat cut into small pieces and some fruit in between.
Hearing the voice, Mo Ye turned around and waved to Nan Qing.
As soon as she sat down, Mo Ye handed her a skewer of meat, the aroma of which wafted into Nan Qing's nose.
"Is this the meat of a sheep?"
Nanqing smelled the unique muttony aroma, but it wasn't strong, and after roasting, it had a charred and fragrant smell.
"Yes, we hunted a lot of sheep-like beasts today. The meat is very tender; I bet you'll like it."
She took the skewers, tasted them, and found them delicious. The meat was very tender, and when she bit into it, it was incredibly juicy and not dry at all. Moreover, the skewers had a good balance of lean and fatty meat, and the oil flavor was just right.
"Mo Ye, your grilling skills are getting better and better!"
"But you still won't let me be your male..."
As Mo Ye flipped through the meat skewers, carefully checking which ones were ready, he muttered to himself.
"I promise I won't bite you next time..."
The little female was so sweet, and he... he just couldn't control himself for a moment, and as a result, instead of winning her favor, he also angered her.
"Hmph~"
"Let's see~~"
"We'll talk about it when you've learned how to cook~~~"
"Hurry up and grill it, I'm hungry."
While eating the skewers, Nan Qing also took out a bowl of soup from the Lucky Palace to eat with them. The meat in this Beast World Continent was indeed delicious, and the taste was better than that of other worlds, but even he couldn't stand eating barbecue every day.
She felt it was necessary to tap into the exploratory spirit of the wolf tribe and urge them to make all sorts of things, like pots and salt!
So in the following days, Nanqing was particularly enthusiastic about joining the picking team, and Moye couldn't stop her no matter what she did, but she also discovered more and more edible foods.
Potatoes, corn, sorghum, wheat, ginger, scallions, pumpkin, winter melon...
Anyway, thanks to Nanqing's enthusiasm, the harvesting team's daily harvest increased, to the point that even the tribe's food storage cave was almost full...
On this day, because Mo Ye went to join the hunting team, and the picking team was also going to a relatively far place, she was too lazy to go. At noon, she called Duo Ya over to teach her how to cook.
Duoya held a wooden spoon and clumsily stirred the leafy vegetables in the stone pot, glancing nervously at Nanqing every now and then.
"Nanqing, is it okay to just keep flipping like this? Am I using too much force?"
Nanqing nestled in the rocking chair, swaying back and forth, her little feet bobbing up and down, occasionally peeking out at the food in the stone pot over there.
"Yes, just stir-fry it slowly like that."
"You can do everything else following the same steps."
She had Mo Ye move a tree to the front of the stone house and built a low wall around it with stones. Lying under the shade of the tree, basking in the sun, she was incredibly relaxed.
If she doesn't have to do anything herself, and only needs to provide step-by-step instructions... she feels she's quite reliable.
Following Nanqing's instructions, Duoya picked up a small amount of leafy greens with her chopsticks and tasted them, finding that they tasted really good!
She scooped the stir-fried leafy greens into a wooden plate, placed it on the stone table beside her, wiped the sweat from her brow, and casually asked:
"We're going to the grassland market in a few days, are you coming?"
"Hmm? A grassland market?"
Nan Qing jolted awake, immediately perking up, and straightened up: "Is it lively?"
"Yes, there is a market before the cold season, and many tribes of orcs will go there to exchange for what they need."
She counted on her fingers, "The last market was hosted by the Deer Clan, this market should be hosted by the Bear Clan. The Bear Clan will definitely bring out their hidden honey to trade!"
When honey was mentioned, Duoya became excited, licking her lips as if she was still savoring the taste of honey.
"I hope to exchange for more honey this year."
"Nanqing, you don't know, the Bear Clan is very stingy. They only give away a tiny bit each time. This time, they're the ones who organized the market, so they definitely can't be so stingy!"
