Chapter 141 Ginger
The fat bears and the bears were busy for three days, and Jian Mo was also busy for three days.
On the afternoon of the third day, all eight teams arrived at the Riverside Tribe.
The tribe leaders and the people who were invited to serve as judges gathered together to evaluate the value of the materials collected by the eight teams.
In a fair selection, the bears who were least afraid of death beat the other tribes and won the first place.
The moment the news was announced, the people of the Bingjiang Tribe cheered, and the bears who turned back into beast form jumped and colliding their bellies with the bellies of other bears.
Jian Mo watched from a distance as their accumulated fat shook, and felt inexplicably cute.
Then, Wu Jiong announced the second place.
This year, the Mengshui Tribe and the Riverside Tribe tied for second place.
The people of Mengshui tribe were relatively calm, while Ban Ming and his companions put their hands on their shoulders and jumped up happily.
"Ahhh, second place! Dad! Father! We got second place this year!"
"Quick, quick, change into beast form, let's run a lap!"
It was Ah Hu who shouted to change into beast form.
Ah Hu's words were immediately responded to by everyone. The beastmen changed back into beast form, lifted up their fellow beastmen, and excitedly ran around.
They got fifth place last year, and they got second place this year, so they had to celebrate no matter what!
Ban Ming rushed into the crowd, picked up the kitten Banchu and threw it on his back, then lowered his head and rubbed Qing Kuang with his head: "Dad, dad, come on, I'll carry you."
Qing Kuang laughed and scolded, pulling the back of the big gray cat's neck: "Stinky boy, run steadily."
The kitten Banchu was thrown onto the big gray's back, and now it used its four paws to hold the big cat tightly, with the tip of its tail exerting force, and heard it and said loudly: "That's right!"
The others were also very excited, and some wanted to come over to pick on Jian Mo.
Wu Jiong was announcing the rankings of the last few in front of the crowd. When he saw the beastmen rushing towards Jian Mo, he glanced at him with a warning look.
The beastmen received the terrifying eyes of their family leader, and quickly turned around and ran towards the others.
After Wu Jiong announced the rankings, he also announced the special contribution awards for this summer harvest festival.
Fatty and Chirp both received special contribution awards. Some beastmen came forward and smiled and put wreaths on the fat and Chirp.
Chirp could feel the recognition and love of humans, and its eyes widened and wagged its tail. It tried to touch the wreath with its paws, but was afraid of damaging it, so it only touched it lightly.
Jian Mo looked at its cute appearance and clapped his hands in approval.
Others followed suit and applauded.
Ying Ao did not receive any award, it was not there at all.
This cool winged beast has no interest in the activities of the orcs and beastmen. It only participates in transportation and patrols because Jian Mo asked it to.
Jian Mo did not ask it to do anything today. It went to the wild to find food early in the morning.
After announcing the awards.
Wu Jiong announced that the Summer Harvest Festival dinner officially began.
In the past few days, everyone has harvested a variety of food, and it is just right to take it out now for everyone to eat together.
After Wu Jiong's announcement, everyone divided into several groups, lit a bonfire, brought various slate pottery pots, and started cooking dinner.
Jian Mo contributed two large metal pots at home and also participated in the preparation of food. For
today's dinner, each tribe has arranged someone to prepare meals.
The Riverside Tribe has more than a dozen chefs, including Jian Mo, Qing Kuang, and Min Dang. Others can come to help or eat according to their personal ideas.
Jian Mo and his team are preparing braised pork, boiled meatballs, barbecue, stewed meat, fruit tea, etc. Each person will make one kind of food. Their tribe alone can provide more than a dozen kinds of food.
These foods are their specialties, they taste great and the quality is stable, suitable for such large gatherings.
These foods have been pre-processed, and under their cooking, the aroma of the food quickly wafts out, attracting everyone to come over frequently.
Jian Mo asked someone to tell Wu Jiong that their food is almost ready.
Not only them, but the food of other tribes is also almost ready.
When all the food is ready, Wu Jiong ordered to eat.
Everyone cheered and took the plates to taste the food of each tribe.
Jian Mo also took a plate and ate two pieces of barbecue and meatballs from his tribe first, then went to eat food from other tribes.
The food from almost every tribe was delicious and unique.
What surprised Jian Mo the most was the stewed tripe from the Mengshui tribe.
The Mengshui tribe stuffed one-third of fat, one-third of lean meat, and one-third of cartilage, skin, spices, etc. into the cleaned long-headed beast's stomach, that is, the stomach, and then boiled it in big bone soup.
They boiled the stewed tripe first, took it out, dried it, and then fried it in a pan of oil. The whole tripe was fried until it was firm and tough, and then taken out and sliced and drizzled with juice.
When Jian Mo tasted it, he felt that the whole piece of beast belly had a complex and charming aroma. It was fat but not greasy. The more he ate, the more delicious it became. The texture of the crispy bones was even more amazing.
He ate a piece and couldn't help asking for a second piece.
Originally, this kind of food was limited to one piece per person. When the person distributing the food saw that it was Jian Mo who asked for it, he gave Jian Mo two more pieces. He also smiled and told Jian Mo to ask for more after he finished eating, because hot ones tasted better.
In addition to the dinner, singing and dancing are also indispensable.
The singing and dancing in the orc world are not so exquisite, and there are few difficult movements, but everyone is very enthusiastic, and the movements are especially unrestrained when dancing.
Everyone had a lot of fun.
Of course, there were also many orcs and sub-orcs who fell in love with each other and pulled each other to explore the small woods.
Jian Mo saw several pairs at a glance. Now he finally understood why cream was the easiest to earn. It was a real necessity.
After the Summer Harvest Festival, everyone was still immersed in the aftermath of the festival for several days.
The fat chicks were still there, saying that they wanted to play in the Riverside Tribe for a few more days.
The people of the Riverside Tribe would naturally not chase them away, and just let them go.
The fat chicks took Chick out to play crazy every day.
On this day, when they came back from crazy play, Chick turned into a mud chick, and the hair on its body was all stuck in the mud.
Jian Mo looked at Jiujiu who was covered in mud and couldn't help but patted Jiujiu on the forehead: "Where did you go today? It's not easy to spread the mud so evenly."
The fat Jiujiu were excited:
"We went to the Green Swamp. There are so many fish in your Green Swamp! We caught and grilled them today, it was so fun."
"I didn't expect Jiujiu to be not good at catching fish, haha. The flying beasts we saw before were all good at catching fish."
"The mud marks on Jiujiu's face were caused by the fish. After two slaps, Jiujiu's face was covered with mud."
"But we avenged Jiujiu, and we ate the fish."
Jian Mo sighed, "Thank you."
The fat Jiujiu didn't hear Jian Mo's depression at all: "You're welcome, we'll take Jiujiu to pick mushrooms tomorrow."
Jian Mo thought that picking mushrooms would not be like catching fish and getting covered in mud, so he agreed.
The fat Jiujiu went back to rest.
After Jian Mo fed Jiujiu, who was still in an excited state, he suggested to Wu Jiong: "How about we go take a bath in the river? The weather is not cool yet, so it's a good time to wash Jiujiu and Yingao. It might be inconvenient to wash them after a while."
Wu Jiong glanced at Jiujiu, who was covered in mud: "I'll bring two more bars of soap."
Jian Mo looked at Jiujiu's huge body and nodded in agreement: "Yes, bring two more bars."
Jiujiu and Yingao can swim and are quite good at swimming, so they don't mind taking a bath in the river.
Jian Mo originally wanted to take them to the upper reaches of the river to take a bath.
However, it was late at night, the situation in the river was complicated, and the water was not deep enough, so it was inconvenient to take a bath.
Finally, Jian Mo changed his mind, and everyone just went to Baishazhou to take a bath.
The moon was so big, and it was quite comfortable to swim after taking a bath in the lake.
Jiujiu was a little too excited and couldn't sit still. Yingao was more cooperative, so Jian Mo and the others washed Yingao first.
Jian Mo and Wu Jiong rubbed Yingao with soap, then washed it with clean water, and then let it swim two laps in the lake. The soap bubbles on its body could be washed very cleanly, and there was no need to worry about residue.
After washing Yingao, Jian Mo waved to Jiujiu: "Jiujiu, come here, it's your turn."
Jiujiu's eyes were sparkling, and he swam over with his claws, splashing water on Jian Mo and the others' faces: "Jiujiu!"
Jian Mo wiped his face and grabbed Jiujiu's wings: "I know, don't be excited, sit here."
Jiujiu: "Jiujiu!"
Jiujiu swam two laps in the lake, and his fur was soaked and stuck to his body.
Jian Mo then realized that it had lost some weight, and that the solid Jiu was almost becoming hollow. He felt a little sad, and muttered to Wu Jiong: "Forget it, Jiujiu is so happy, let it play."
Wu Jiong was not surprised: "Wan Zheng and the others said they would go back in two days."
Jian Mo: "Are they going back? Did their chief speak?"
Wu Jiong nodded: "Jiuzhi asked someone to ask me if they could take classes in our tribe for two days. I agreed, and they came to me to say goodbye after hearing the news."
Jian Mo: "... Sure enough, there are still many people who don't like to study."
Jiujiu has lost some weight, and while Jian Mo was bathing it, he was thinking about making something delicious to nourish it in the next two days.
It also contributed to the tribe, so it should have something good to eat.
Just when Jian Mo was looking for food, Tu Shao, the orc who was choked by food from the Yangyao tribe, rushed to their tribe with supplies.
Jian Mo was a little surprised, and hurried forward to untie the basket on his back: "Why are you here?"
Tu Shao changed back to human form, put on an animal skin skirt, and said: "I heard that you were looking for something called ginger. I asked several tribes to help find it, and it seems that I have exchanged it. Can you see if it is the ginger you want?"
Jian Mo had wanted to exchange some ginger for a long time, and he had asked many tribes for help, but there was no news for a long time. He thought there was no such thing as ginger here, but he didn't expect Tu Shao to bring it suddenly.
Jian Mo's eyes lit up, and he quickly opened the lid of the basket: "Let me see."
The basket was filled with a basket of flat stems with dirt on them. Jian Mo rubbed off the dirt and could see the light brown skin of the stems.
Tu Shao: "I've seen the ginger you painted, and it seems to be like this, flat and bumpy."
Jian Mo nodded, put the stem under his nose and smelled it again and again: "Yes, it does look a bit like it, can I taste it?"
Tu Shao: "Of course."
Jian Mo rubbed the dirt on the ginger with his hand, thought about it, and finally took it to the kitchen to wash it, and peeled off the skin with a knife.
After peeling, the ginger looked more like the ginger Jian Mo was looking for, but this ginger smelled a little bit astringent in addition to being spicy.
He cut a small piece and licked it. It tasted a bit like ginger and a bit different. However, it was definitely fine as a seasoning.
After licking it, Jian Mo rinsed his mouth and then remembered to ask: "Is this ginger poisonous?"
Tu Shao: "No, the tribe that gave me the ginger also eats it themselves."
Jian Mo: "Then I'll trade with you. What do you want to exchange?"
Tu Shao: "When I traded with that tribe, I used five large pieces of animal skins. Doctor Jian Mo, please give me two more pieces of animal skins as travel expenses. Seven pieces of animal skins will be enough for the supplies." Tu
Shao already took care of this price. Jian Mo shook his head: "You specially helped me to inquire about it and sent it all the way here. Seven pieces of animal skins are too few. . "
Tu Shao smiled naively: "Not a small amount. I have some ginger stored there. When you, Doctor Jian Mo, eat it for a few more days, other people will definitely ask me to exchange it when they receive the news. I can make some money from them."
Jian Mo thought about it and said, "That's fine. Do you have anything else to do today? If not, stay for dinner? I'll make fried bird meat with shredded ginger."
Tu Shao immediately said, "No, it would be great to have a free meal. It's just right for us to rest for a night in the Riverside Tribe."
Jian Mo didn't have bird meat at home. In the evening, he took supplies to exchange with the tribe.
Several hunting teams in the tribe go out hunting every day, and birds are almost a must-have prey. Jian Mo doesn't get supplies from the tribe now, but he is willing to exchange supplies for supplies, and the tribe is quite happy.
Ye Luo was curious: "I heard that you exchanged for a food called ginger?"
Jian Mo shook the purple bird he had just exchanged: "Yes, I want to stir-fry the purple bird with ginger. Come over for dinner in the evening."
Ye Luo was very interested in all new things. Hearing this, he said: "Then I'll bring a basket of berries and come over for dinner."
After hearing this, several people from Qingkuang also expressed their desire to come and eat for free.
Jian Mo agreed.
At dinner time, there were more than ten people sitting at the dining table of Jian Mo's house.
Everyone came mainly to eat fried bird meat with shredded ginger. Shredded
ginger is a bit spicy and a bit floury, and the taste is different from the ginger on Earth, but the taste is indeed similar, and it tastes very good when fried with bird meat.
Especially when the bird meat is fried tender and salty, it goes very well with shredded ginger.
Jian Mo ate three large bowls of rice by himself.
Qing Kuang hissed as he inhaled the cool air, and immediately said to Tu Shao: "Do you have any more ginger? Let's exchange some."
Tu Shao: "Yes! But it's more expensive to exchange it with others than to Doctor Jian Mo. Doctor Jian Mo is my savior, so I charge you the cost price."
Qing Kuang said straightforwardly: "How much do you want?"
Tu Shao: "One piece of animal skin for a basket of ginger."
Jian Mo listened from the side and felt that Tu Shao was really good at doing business. For example, using baskets as units is much easier to exchange than using baskets.
Qing Kuang agreed directly.
Ye Luo drank the cool leaf drink to relieve the spiciness, and heard the words and said: "Exchange two baskets for me too."
Min Dang: "I want two baskets too."
Tu Shao had not even left the door of Jian Mo's house when all the ginger in his hand was exchanged.
He said happily, "All is fine. If anyone else wants to exchange, you can make a reservation with me first. I'll go and exchange the ginger and send it over."
Qing Kuo: "I'll tell other people in the tribe to see if anyone wants it."
Tu Shao: "Okay, thank you. I'll send you another basket."
After they finished discussing business, Jian Mo asked Tu Shao: "Will you pass by the Mengshui tribe tomorrow?"
Tu Shao: "Yes, I'm going to their tribe too, to see if anyone in their tribe wants ginger."
Jian Mo: "That's great, when you get to their tribe, can you help me send a message to Dan Guan who is temporarily staying in their tribe, and ask him to come over?"
Tu Shao readily agreed: "I'll tell him tomorrow."
Jian Mo: "If you don't see him, you can ask the people in the Mengshui tribe to pass the message."
Dan Guan still lives in the Mengshui tribe, participates in hunting, and shares food.
The ringworm on his body has almost healed, but the hair of his alopecia areata has not grown yet, or rather, it has grown very little and is very sparse.
Jian Mo had previously sought out Jiang to treat his alopecia areata. Now that he had finally found Jiang, he had to give it a try.
