Chapter 233 Peanut Oil
"Female Messenger."
Hill suddenly spoke.
Jiang Xi looked over in confusion.
"What's wrong?"
Hill said, "After the boundary, there are two or three days' journey through scree forest. If we set off now to follow them, we will likely meet them on the way."
What would happen if they met on the road is self-evident.
The aura emanating from his body could not be concealed.
"They're not moving very fast. Why don't you stay at the Giant Rabbit tribe for a couple of days before setting off, female envoy?"
After speaking, Hill's eyes brightened slightly, and he looked over with some expectation.
Jiang Xi was stunned for a moment.
If possible, she would like to set off as early as possible, or even reach the royal court before them.
Are there any other entrances or exits to the boundary nearby?
Hill shook his head. "This tenth entrance/exit is the closest one."
"If we take a detour to another entrance or exit, it will take at least seven or eight more days to reach the royal court."
Jiang Xi lowered her eyes in thought.
Then, she looked up at Nafer.
"Naffier, what do you think?"
Now, she only has him by her side, her beastly husband, and Duan Si on her wrist is still asleep, unable to offer any feasible advice.
Nafi pursed his lips.
"Let's stay for two days and avoid the path through the scree forest. We can bypass them on the rest of the way."
The snake race's travel speed should theoretically be slower than that of the airborne orcs, but Nafiel is a fourth-tier powerhouse, and his speed is comparable to that of many airborne orcs.
Many of the sea creatures were orcs, so no matter how fast they traveled, they couldn't possibly outrun the airborne orcs.
Nafel was confident that he could catch up with them from behind and overtake them.
Jiang Xi thought for a moment and nodded.
"Then let's stay in the Giant Rabbit Tribe for two nights and set off early the day after tomorrow!"
As soon as she said that, Hill's eyes lit up.
"Our Giant Rabbit tribe also has many delicious fruits and leafy vegetables. The female envoy can try more of them these next few days."
Jiang Xi naturally wouldn't refuse.
She even wants to introduce it to the Lion Roar tribe!
Finally, we can also introduce planting techniques there, so that there will be a continuous supply of food.
The variety is also plentiful!
Take this soybean-like food from the Giant Rabbit Tribe, for example. Besides making soy milk, it can also be used to make tofu, bean curd sheets, dried bean curd sticks, fermented black beans, broad bean paste, soy sauce, fermented bean curd, bean sprouts, soy milk powder, vegetarian meat, and so on...
Jiang Xi only stayed in the Giant Rabbit Tribe for half a day, but she discovered a large number of delicious fruits and vegetables!
These big rabbits have such a big appetite!
only……
Jiang Xi looked at the plate of boiled broccoli in front of her and remained silent.
They have a lot of food, but their cooking methods are really simple and crude. They either boil or fry, and when they fry, they dry-fry, like making corn pancakes.
In order to build a good relationship with the Giant Rabbit Tribe and introduce more food and planting techniques to the Lion Roar Tribe in the future, Jiang Xi decided to focus on inspecting the vegetable garden and improving the recipes in the next two days.
Of course, she wasn't sure if they would like to eat it.
But in the end, even if we can't improve their recipes, we can at least improve our own.
After the meal, Jiang Xi suggested visiting the tribe's fields.
Although Hill didn't understand, he still took her there.
Generally speaking, females do not like to work in the fields.
Jiang Xi walked along the edge of the field. Not far away, a large number of giant rabbit beastmen were pulling vegetables. When they saw her coming, they all bowed to her, their hands covered in mud.
"Female Messenger."
"Female Messenger."
Jiang Xi waved her hand, "No need for formalities."
But then she saw what they were holding.
"This is……"
Her eyes lit up.
"These are peanuts!"
Peanuts that are several sizes bigger!
"Peanuts?" Hill asked for a moment, puzzled. "Does the female call this a peanut? We call it an open-mouthed fruit."
"Whether it's dried fruit or peanuts, how do you usually eat them?"
Xiao Ai muttered to herself from the side.
"We always grow a huge batch of these, which is far too much to eat! So we dry them and eat them slowly!"
Jiang Xi stroked her chin, deep in thought.
“I see that you don’t use oil when you cook. It’s normal that you don’t like meat or oil, but actually, you can also extract oil from plants! Take this open fruit for example, we can extract oil from it and use it to stir-fry or boil vegetables, which will make them much more fragrant!”
Hill and Ai looked completely bewildered.
However, there were indeed more open fruits than they could eat, so they did not refuse the female messenger. They immediately called on their tribesmen to wash, peel, dry, and stir-fry the fruits in a stone pot according to the female messenger's instructions.
While it was still being cooked, the entire tribe was filled with a wonderful aroma.
The orcs and females who were initially somewhat skeptical suddenly brightened up.
"You can eat it now. It will be much more fragrant after being stir-fried than after being dried."
Xiao Ai scooped out a bowl and shared it with her friends. A group of big rabbits hugged the bowl, squatted in the corner, and ate with shining eyes.
"So delicious! The open-mouthed fruit tastes so good now!"
Mary clasped her hands together, placed them on her forehead, and bowed to Jiang Xi.
"It is truly an honor for us that the female envoy has been able to settle in our tribe."
Mary always looked at Jiang Xi with that godlike gaze, and even though Jiang Xi had a thick skin, she still felt very embarrassed by her look.
All she could say was, "If there are any further divine pronouncements from the Mother Tree, please let me know. I will continue to help her sort them out in the next couple of days."
When the mother tree was mentioned, Mary became even more devout, but she finally shifted her attention away from Jiang Xi.
"I'll go and take care of the mother tree now."
After Mary left, Hill smiled apologetically at Jiang Xi.
“Please don’t mind, my female mother was bitten by a poisonous snake when she was a child, and even the witch doctor couldn’t cure her. But later my female mother woke up and said that she had received a blessing from the mother tree. Since then, she has devoted herself to serving the mother tree and has nothing else in her eyes.”
As the mother tree weakens, the female mother's mental state also deteriorates.
This has gotten worse over the past month. He often talks nonsense, sometimes saying that the Holy City is about to collapse, sometimes saying that the power of the curse is about to disappear, and sometimes crying, saying that the Mother Tree is being eroded by the power of the curse and is about to return to the world.
In short, her statements are often self-contradictory.
That is why the tribesmen did not believe the female mother when she said she had received a divine message from the Mother Tree.
"It's nothing, it's nothing," Jiang Xi quickly waved her hand.
She didn't think anything of it; she only felt that she was a devout believer in the Mother Tree.
Perhaps that's why the mother tree saved her.
Save her...
Jiang Xi paused in thought.
save……
Could the origin of the mother tree also be healing?
Jiang Xi raised her hand, and her palm emitted a faint green light.
Could it be...?
An amazing idea popped into her mind.
Could it be that her superpower contains an origin?
Or perhaps it is the origin?
So, here's the question.
When she grooms the mother tree, does the source that the mother tree receives belong to her, or to the source land?
However, after grooming the mother tree, she felt no discomfort, and her powers returned to normal within a day.
It shouldn't be the origin.
Otherwise, she could not have failed to sense the stagnation in the world filled with the power of the curse.
After regaining her senses, Jiang Xi noticed a burning gaze directed at her from the side.
But before she could turn her head to look, Nafer's hand reached out from the other side and grasped her hand, which was emitting a faint green light.
"Mistress, it's been quite a few days since you've helped me with my powers."
"Huh?" Jiang Xi looked up in surprise and looked at Nafiel.
"I'll help you comb your hair tonight."
She didn't think much of it.
After all, for her and her beast husbands, grooming was an outward process, not a deep one.
But when Hill heard these words, they immediately took on a different meaning.
The female messenger… the female messenger said this to his face, didn’t she…?
