The three people looked at it curiously, and only left with peace of mind after confirming that the tea tree was indeed not a rare treasure.
Shortly after they left, Xiao Yu and Zhou Yanzhi picked all the tea leaves and tea fruits from the tea trees and started making lunch under the trees.
The two of them used a small trick of "Spring Breeze and Rain Technique" to give back to the old tea tree while also collecting a few large buckets for themselves.
Then the Archaeopteryx, no, it was the Archaeopteryx, without its feathers, head and claws.
One for roasting and one for stewing.
When they had almost finished processing the meat, the three people who were watching not far away finally left with peace of mind.
Since Xiao Yu had already given away everything he could, Zhou Yanzhi had to try to extract tea oil while cooking.
Xiao Yu prepared some soup to remove the fishy smell and gave the phoenix a hot bath after removing its fur and internal organs.
After many hot baths, the skin and flesh of the phoenix become plump, smooth and elastic.
After Zhou Yanzhi finished extracting the tea oil, he saw two chubby phoenixes, his eyes full of smiles. It must be said that this treatment of the phoenixes not only eliminated its previous strong fishy smell, but also made people more hungry just by looking at it.
Because they were meant for the children, the stewed and roasted goose for lunch only had one radish in it. Of course, the two adults still had a vegetable soup with radish greens, pickled chili peppers, goose liver, and goose gizzards.
The four little ones, now over a year old, are already quite independent. Their fathers can't be easily fooled. Luckily, the girls love wings.
This ensured that the roasted 'goose' for lunch was distributed fairly.
The goose meat, smeared with tea oil from another world, was tender and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, thanks to Xiao Yu's meticulous cooking. The four children, who had just grown their teeth, loved it the first time they ate it.
Each of them ate a full meal with the tasteless rice noodles.
"Dad, I want more tonight." The eldest daughter Zhou Chaochao said, raising her chubby little hands.
The little girl, Zhou Qingyao, also raised her little arm high, expressing her approval with anticipation. The two boys were smart enough not to say anything, but their eyes already expressed their opinions.
"Let's watch it in the evening! Maybe you will like the delicious food in the evening more." Xiao Yu thought of roast suckling pig.
"What is it?"
"If I tell you now, there won't be any surprises tonight."
As the four treasures were about to be sent into the space, Zhou Yanzhi said seriously, "Study hard this afternoon."
"Yes, Daddy." The four treasures said in unison.
☆
In the afternoon, Xiao Yu and Zhou Yanzhi wandered in the wilderness for an hour or two. After finding nothing, they walked back to the swamp where they had encountered the "big goose" before.
The main reason was that the two of them realized belatedly that on Earth, wild duck eggs could be found in reed marshes where wild ducks were usually found. They had just left after hunting and had forgotten to check out the marsh.
The two had already made preparations before leaving. Who would have thought that just as they found the goose eggs and picked up a few, two toads the size of adult pigs would jump out. The toads, with their black-red eyes, looked particularly eerie. The most bizarre thing was the black liquid they spit out, and their tongues, which could fly ten meters in a flash, covered in sticky liquid.
Seeing the "goose egg" sprayed with black liquid, the two people with obsessive-compulsive disorder could only retreat.
"Don't toads only come out at night?" Xiao Yu said to Zhou Yanzhi as they walked back. "The sun is so high, so they came out."
"It's okay. Today's harvest is not bad. Let's go back first."
"Yes, while the prey is fresh, we might be able to sell it for a good price." However, during lunch, the two of them had already made a plan: not to sell the wild slaves yet, but to sell only twenty of the mimic phoenixes.
☆
On the way back, Xiao Yu and Zhou Yanzhi did not stop to discover new things. According to the latter's discovery, the old tea tree looked ordinary, but it had grown for thousands of years, and it might really have the properties of some rare treasures.
Because when Zhou Yanzhi was picking tea leaves, he tried to absorb the wood spiritual power emitted by the tea leaves and found that it could actually cleanse the meridians.
The star anise Xiao Yu picked tasted similar to Earth's star anise and was non-toxic. He had also tasted it in a stew at noon, and the aroma was stronger than Earth's. However, Zhou Yanzhi didn't remember seeing such an anise.
This means that there may be many things in the Gust Wasteland that have similar effects on Earth but have not been discovered by the locals.
Hard work pays off. On a hillside not far from Tulong Town, Xiao Yu discovered a patch of cassava. He hadn't recognized it before, but while traveling through the Age World, he saw many old farmers digging for it, relying on it for their livelihoods, and he even went to help. Over time, he came to know it.
"The black monster is coming!"
"roar--"
"Ah, help!"
Just as the two were about to start digging for cassava, a shrill scream was heard not far away. Xiao Yu was still wondering what the black monster was when Zhou Yanzhi pulled him away and teleported away.
At the same time, at the entrance to Dragon Slaying Town, a large number of people, some carrying prey on their backs, some pulling their companions, ran forward desperately. The gate of Dragon Slaying Town, without any regard for the people rushing into the city, was slowly closing.
Seeing the door was half closed and closing very quickly, Xiao Yu's heart skipped a beat.
Zhou Yanzhi picked up the people around him, leaped over the heads of the crowd, and squeezed in through the closing city gate. There were many people doing the same thing as them.
Less than thirty seconds after the two entered the door, the city gate behind them slammed shut amidst miserable screams.
Xiao Yu, who had just been placed on the ground, turned to look. He saw a gate several dozen meters high, made entirely of huge stones. Several golden lights were rapidly flowing on the gate. In an instant, the strange and terrifying-looking stone bones on the top of the town also lit up.
