Chapter 76 Baby, I want it
The next day, the salt exchange team continued their journey.
Although Long Chen took Chu Ange to walk and play along the way, she was not idle. She was studying the plants around her along the way to see if there were any that could be eaten or planted.
I've been here for so long, but I've never eaten staple food. Orcs consume a lot of physical energy and need something high in carbohydrates and protein. I hope to find something that can be used as a staple food.
However, it is not easy to find.
The salt exchange team was on the march until noon, when Chu Ange suddenly called a halt: "Stop for a moment."
"What's wrong?" Lang Lin asked. Originally, he led the salt-exchanging team to go first, but this time, Long Chen and Ange did not fall behind and followed the salt-exchanging team.
"There seems to be an edible plant there." Chu Ange pointed in a direction. There was a clump of plants not far away. If she was not mistaken, it should be sweet potatoes.
Sweet potatoes are very filling, sweet and very appealing.
"Let's go dig it right away." Lang Lin was very excited. Chu Ange was the messenger of the Dragon God. If the messenger said it was edible, then it must be edible.
The potatoes and peppers and mushrooms she found were all delicious food.
Thinking that there would be another delicious food that they had never tasted before, everyone in the salt-changing team became excited.
He dug a lot of sweet potatoes according to the method taught by Chu Ange, but did not rush to roast the sweet potatoes on the spot, but continued on his way.
They needed to set up camp near night and only started eating at this time, and the rest of the time was used to travel.
The salt-exchanging team had not eaten the whole day yesterday and had been traveling all day today, so they set up camp early and sent some people out to hunt.
Although the salt-exchanging team brought a lot of salt-exchanging supplies, no one used them to eat. When they were hungry along the way, they went hunting for food.
Although these things are edible, they would rather use them and exchange them for more salt.
Even if they couldn't finish eating the prey they hunted on the road, they would save it and exchange it for salt.
Just like the sweet potatoes this time, they would not eat them all. Each person would taste a little and exchange the rest for salt.
The stone pot is too heavy and takes up a lot of space, so I didn’t bring the stone pot with me when I went out to exchange salt this time.
Without any cooking utensils, after they hunted and came back, Chu Ange could only build a fire and roast the prey like them.
When Chu Ange came out, he brought a lot of seasonings. The taste of the barbecued meat was good, but the texture of the barbecued meat was really hard to describe.
Chu Ange didn't take much of a bite before he started to pick at the roasted sweet potatoes on the fire.
While I was digging, I missed the stone pot at home. I thought I should study how to make pottery.
The clay pot is light and easy to use, and it is also convenient to carry when going out.
After exchanging the salt, it is really necessary to start studying the firing of pottery.
There are thirty members of the salt exchange team this time, plus Long Chen and Chu Ange, a total of thirty-two people.
But she didn't roast that many sweet potatoes per person, only about fifteen. After roasting, Chu Ange gave ten to Lang Lin and asked him to divide them. She kept two for herself and gave three to Long Chen.
The ownership of the plants found on the road belongs to Chu Ange and there is no need to divide them equally.
"Is this roasted sweet potato?" Long Chen took it.
"Yeah." Chu Ange said, "Try it and see if you like it."
Long Chen opened his mouth and took a bite, then his eyes lit up: "It's sweet!"
After the sweet potatoes are baked, they give off a sweet aroma and are sticky. Long Chen thinks they are delicious.
Lang Lin was already drooling at the sweet potatoes. The people from the salt-exchanging team immediately surrounded him with red eyes, asking him to share them quickly.
There are ten sweet potatoes to be shared among thirty people, and each person can only have a small bite!
"This sweet potato is so delicious!" Langlin ate his own bite and exclaimed.
Everyone was still not satisfied and wanted to lick off their fingers.
Chu Ange couldn't help laughing as he looked at them: "This can be planted, and its yield is very high. When we go back, the tribe will plant a lot of it, and you can eat as much as you want."
The salt changing team's eyes lit up and they collectively swallowed their saliva.
These days are becoming more and more hopeful.
They didn't like to eat grass before, of course this did not include the plants that Chu Angge found.
After following Chu Ange for a long time, they found that many plants were delicious...
After eating, they decided not to leave. They rested for a night and continued their journey early the next morning.
When in the tribe, Long Chen would boil water for Chu Ange to take a bath on time every day. This time he came out to change the salt and had been traveling for two consecutive days. She hadn't taken a bath for two days and her body was sticky and uncomfortable.
She moved closer to Long Chen and whispered in his ear, "I seem to be covered in gray." There was a hint of resentment in her eyes.
Long Chen smiled and said, "I'll take you to take a bath."
Pulling Chu Ange outside.
It's night time now, and it's very dangerous to stay outside at night.
Lang Lin saw them leaving the team and walking outside, but he did not stop them. Besides being blindly confident that Chu Ange was the messenger of the Dragon God and that the Dragon God would definitely bless her, he also believed in Long Chen.
Long Chen is very strong, stronger than all of them, and he will definitely protect Ange.
He just rubbed the dust off his body and sighed: "The envoy is very particular. He has to take a bath after only two days."
When they are out and about, they just go with the flow, not getting lice or taking baths, and some orcs can even shake off a layer of armor after returning from exchanging salt!
The silver moon shines on the river surface, and the evening breeze blows, making the waves sparkle, accompanied by the soothing sound of river water hitting the rocks.
Chu Ange took off his clothes and went into the water, finally taking a good bath.
Long Chen bent down to pick up the clothes she threw by the river, took out a handful of soapberries and squatted by the river to wash them.
After washing Ange's clothes, she took off her own, washed them, wrung them dry, and spread them out on the huge rock next to her to dry.
After doing all this, he went into the water and slowly approached Chu Ange.
Feeling someone approaching from behind, Chu Ange didn't look back, but just rubbed the dust off his body.
Long Chen hugged her from behind: "Let me wash your hair."
As he spoke, he picked up her hair, crushed the soapberry and smeared it on her hair, rubbing it gently.
"You're still carrying the soapberry?" Chu Ange looked back at him in surprise.
"Yeah. I picked them when I set out." Then he handed a few more soapberries to Chu Ange: "Use them to wash."
Chu Ange hurriedly threw away the fine sand that he had just grabbed from the river and was going to use to rub the ash, turned around, hugged Long Chen's neck, and kissed him on the face: "You are so nice."
Long Chen crushed the soapberry and smeared it on her body. He couldn't wait.
Chu Ange put her hand against his chest and said, "I'll wash myself. You, you go up first."
"I want to wash you." Long Chen pulled her into his arms. The river was very dangerous at night. There were many ferocious beasts lurking in the water. How could he leave her behind and go up first?
Although on the shore he could also use his intimidation to intimidate these things and prevent them from approaching.
