Chapter 827: Delicious Food is a Product of Famine
Hailan's eyes drifted away for a moment, and she smiled and said, "One person has so much energy, and two people have the same energy. I feel more at ease with him accompanying me."
Su Nuan didn't doubt him and nodded, "Okay, then are you still wearing the bracelet? You haven't taken it off from last time."
Hailan nodded and said, "Go and replenish your supplies yourself."
Su Nuan thought about it and felt that it would be better to bring some finished farm tools. Otherwise, she would only be able to get the tool head through the bracelet, and the tool handle would have to be made again.
"Hmm...we need to get some wire saw blades too. The trees over there are thick and it's not convenient to cut them down. We can use the saw blades and pull them back and forth to cut down the trees."
"Oh, with some salt..."
Su Nuan ran straight to the warehouse to look for things.
Hailan sighed, took out the bracelet and handed it to Lingyun, "If you want to take anything, go pack it yourself."
Ling Yun took the bracelet. His bracelet was more like a wristband and was three times wider than Su Nuan's.
He frowned and asked, "Why do I have to go there? What do I need to do when I get there?"
Hailan took out a piece of paper and handed it over. "It's up to you. Complete as much as you can. If you can't finish it... go back next month."
Ling Yun took the paper suspiciously, unfolded it and read it over. He frowned and asked, "Are you sure I can do it?"
Hailan glanced at Lingyun indifferently, "If you can't do it, you don't deserve it."
Ling Yun narrowed his eyes, a murderous aura in his eyes, "I understand."
Hai Lan ignored Ling Yun, and Ling Yun went to the warehouse to collect things he thought he could use.
When the two of them packed up their belongings and returned to Blue Star Shadow, they felt dizzy before they could even say a word.
Su Nuan was an experienced person. She closed her eyes and waited, not even opening them when her feet were on the ground.
She listened for a while, but didn't hear any sound of falling. She thought to herself, "Ling Yun is amazing. He didn't fall. He has great concentration."
However, after she got used to it, she opened her eyes and did not see Ling Yun. There were only weeds more than one meter tall around her.
She shouted, "Lingyun, where are you?"
The space spirit could still stretch its neck in this world. It took a look and said, "I didn't see it. It's likely that you two landed at different points."
Su Nuan nodded. "Maybe. Can you see any populated areas? Why was I thrown here? I thought I would be able to see the morning mist as soon as I landed."
The space spirit bit off a spike of barnyard grass and said, "Look at this."
Su Nuan took the ear of corn and pinched the seeds. They were very hard, each one about half the size of a fingernail.
She picked one and put it in her mouth. Although the seeds of barnyard grass cannot be compared with corn and sorghum, they also contain starch and can be used as food to satisfy hunger.
"I'll harvest some and then cross-breed it with the ones from space. Perhaps I can increase the yield."
The Space Spirit took the job and said, "Just watch me, and take it."
She wrapped the barnyard grass around her neck and then cut it with her leaves, so that the barnyard grass was divided into bundles.
Su Nuan collected a lot of seeds, and after checking the space on the bracelet, she said, "That's enough. I have to leave some space. If I come across something else, I won't be able to store it."
The space spirit craned its neck to survey the terrain. "This is still the Giant Tree Forest, but this side is a plain. I see a river."
Su Nuan nodded, "Point out a direction, let's go to the river to take a look."
The space spirit pointed in the direction, and Su Nuan shuttled through the grass. What was strange was that the closer to the river, the shorter the grass became.
According to common sense, the closer to the river, the more lush the grass should be, unless the water in the river is poisonous.
Su Nuan was curious and squatted on the ground to examine the grass that was not even waist-high. After checking, she said, "So that's how it is. The river water is not poisonous and is safe."
The space spirit asked: "How? What did you see?"
Su Nuan pointed at the grass by the river and said, "Look, isn't the color of this grass much lighter? It's because animals ate all the grass here, and these grew later."
The space spirit nodded. She didn't care much about these things. "Maybe it's just rabbits, mice or something like that. Shall we go to the river to set up tents?"
"By the way, do you have any way to contact Ling Yun? You can't just go looking for someone blindly!"
Su Nuan pursed her lips, feeling a little worried, but Ling Yun's survival skills were better than hers, so there shouldn't be any problem.
"Let's light a fire by the river and send out a signal smoke signal. If he sees us, we can find him. If he doesn't come after an hour, it means he's too far away. We can go towards the morning fog."
The space spirit nodded, "Okay."
Su Nuan came to the gravel ground by the river, bringing two mobile stoves this time. She took out the small one to light a fire and boil water.
Place the smoke-burning fire aside and add some wet firewood from time to time.
The space spirit looked at the river and said, "This river isn't very wide. Compared to the Giant Tree Forest, it's just a small ditch."
Su Nuan didn't think too much about it. Seeing that there were no fish or shrimp in the water, only water plants, she nodded and said, "Maybe, never mind."
"Pay attention to see if there are any signal smoke signals elsewhere. If he's close enough and sees them, he'll probably respond."
The space spirit stretched his neck to check the surrounding situation.
Su Nuan boiled some water, crushed the barnyard grass seeds, filtered out the powder and poured it into the boiling water.
Unfortunately, the starch content is not very high, so it can only produce a pot of sticky soup and cannot be made into vermicelli.
She took a bite and it was slightly astringent with a strong taste of grass. If she wasn't someone who was almost starving to death, she would definitely not want to take a second bite.
Su Nuan stuck out her tongue and put the soup away, "It's not tasty."
The space spirit laughed heartily: "How can this thing possibly be delicious? If you knew where delicious food comes from, you would definitely change your mind about this failure."
Su Nuan asked, "How do delicious foods come about? Isn't it just through more research and more cooking?"
The space spirit shook his head. "In Asagiri's time, people studied gastronomy, but they all failed. They wanted to know why they failed, so they looked into history."
"They discovered that any popular food in a particular place was historically a life-saving food during times of famine."
"Take elm bark noodles, for example. Do you think, in an age where people have enough to eat and drink, anyone would research how to make elm bark noodles taste good?"
Su Nuan looked at the spatial spirit in astonishment, pondered it carefully in her heart, and finally nodded, "That's right, people's tastes are very picky. If they can eat their fill, they will only think about how to make the existing food taste better."
This means that every iconic delicacy has a sad history of famine.
Su Nuan didn't say anything after that, she just waited quietly for an hour...
The Space Spirit retracted its neck and said, "I didn't see any response from the wolf smoke, but I saw a flock of birds flying deep into the Giant Tree Forest."
"Let's hurry on. After all, we can only come for one day, so we can't waste time."
Su Nuan nodded, "Okay, let's go."
She missed Feixue very much now. With Feixue around, she didn't have to rely on her two legs to travel.
Suddenly, there was a cracking sound from the sky, and before Su Nuan could react, she was grabbed by a huge bird, and the next second they were lifted into the air.
