After finishing the major event in his life, Xu Ning pulled up his pants and thought about whether he should take the huge pile of toilet paper back with him.
Floral water is also a problem, but without it, she will become a mobile blood bank for mosquitoes, and she will be the one who suffers.
No, the little kid in Li the Hunter's family is the one who suffers the most. Children are small and have tender skin, the type that mosquitoes love the most.
Xu Ning finally stuffed the toilet paper back into the treasure chest. There was still room in the one square meter of space from last time, but there were only a few small red fruits left, as she had eaten them all on the way.
"Bao, change the bottle to one of those common small earthenware jars."
"Okay player, your corresponding points have been deducted."
"Can't you just give me one?"
"Hello player, Treasure Chest doesn't understand what you mean."
"Tsk! Again?!" Xu Ning was replied by the silence of the treasure box again.
When Xu Ning returned to the resting place with the box and a small bottle of toilet water, he found that the enthusiastic mosquitoes in the valley had already given the little baby a small red envelope.
"Aunt, this is mosquito repellent. I just made it with mint leaves from the roadside. It will feel better if you apply it. I'll pick some more mint leaves and dry them for you later. You can put them in your purse to keep away mosquitoes!"
Xu Ning first demonstrated how to apply it. Feng tried it herself and found that it was really cool and comfortable, so she immediately applied it to the little one.
"Congratulations, player, for successfully popularizing the pharmacology of mint leaves in repelling mosquitoes. Mission progress increased by one."
"Huh?" Xu Ning discovered that she seemed to have a way to quickly increase the progress of the task!
"Bao, exchange it for an encyclopedia! Like the Compendium of Materia Medica, with pictures and text!"
"Okay player, the treasure chest is being redeemed for you."
Xu Ning was so excited that he couldn't stop, and found an excuse to escape because he had to pee urgently.
"You are such a lazy person, you poop and pee so much. Can't you finish it all at once?!" Old Mrs. Xu, who had just returned with Xu Xiaobao, who had also finished pooping, couldn't help but feel disgusted again when she heard Xu Ning's words.
Without even turning his head, Xu Ning simply said, "Grandma, people have three urgent needs, and I can't control any of them!"
"Virtue!" Old Mrs. Xu was simply too ashamed to watch. Out of sight, out of mind, she didn't care about her. Hunter Li had checked the valley and there was no danger, so she just let her be.
"Brother, I was taking a shit just now and saw a lot of little red fruits. I love them. Let's go pick them together later!"
"Let's go later. You take a rest first." Xu Dabao just felt less full, but now his younger brother and sister are pooping and pissing at the same time, and he doesn't feel well enough to adapt.
The other adults remained silent. Some, like Zhang, were packing up, while others continued their stroll, such as Old Man Xu, Xu Da and Hunter Li, who were chatting, Feng, who was coaxing the baby, and Old Lady Xu, who had changed the subject: "Dayong, Xiao Li, it's hot out here, so it's hard to store meat. Do you think we should dry it out or what?"
There was still a lot of salt left from the pound of salt Xu Ning took out last time. If he saved it, it would be enough to last for a month or two, but it was not enough to pickle tiger meat. There was still a lot of dried rabbit and roe deer meat left from last time, but he didn't dare to eat it while fleeing the famine a few days ago.
"Auntie, let's bake half and air dry the other half, what do you think, Xu Da?"
"I think it's good, let's do it!"
"Okay, then I'll take out half of the salt!" The dried ones must contain salt. You can look for other spices in the valley. If you find them, put them in. If not, just salt will do.
Old Mrs. Xu thought that she didn't know how long she could stay in this valley. When she went out, the white salt would be too eye-catching. It would be better to make dried meat. When she wanted to eat salt, she could just put a piece of dried meat in her mouth. It could satisfy her hunger and would not be easily discovered. It was very convenient.
The adults agreed to start working right away. Xu Ning and Treasure Box made sure that the Ninja Turtle had left the valley before they took out the exchanged books from the box under the tree and began to read them.
Xu Ning opened the catalog and the first thing he looked for was food.
Among the foods that grow in the woods is... yam! Dioscorea var. szechwanii, a vine of the genus Dioscorea in the family Dioscoreaceae, has an oblong, vertical stem. Leaves are alternate at the bottom, sometimes opposite at the middle and top. The rachis of the inflorescence is zigzag-shaped, with bracts and tepals speckled with purple-brown. The fruit is triangular-oblate or triangular-round, with a white powder.
Why do I feel like I've seen this before? Hey, isn't this the taro we grow in the countryside? That's not taro? Is it a yam?
They look quite similar. The flowering period is from June to September, and the fruiting period is from July to November? Got it! Baby, will finding the yam add another step to the progress?!
"Hello Player, yes!"
"Yes! Come on, put the books away. I know how to find it!" Xu Ning stuffed the books back into the treasure chest, broke off a branch without saying a word, and began to dig the soil on the ground.
She had just read that yam is a deep-rooted plant that requires a deep, loose, well-drained sandy loam environment. It usually grows in sunny and warm plains and hilly environments. Xu Ning stepped on the ground and found it was hard. It couldn't grow there.
Xu Ning turned around and wandered around in the woods, and actually found a patch of yam!
Wow! There are so many of them all over the place. The yam is growing really fast! The yam eggs on it are all as big as eggs!
Looking at the abundant yam, Xu Ning thought of fried yam, stewed yam, yam puree, yam cake and so on.
"Hiss, baby, quickly exchange ten cubic meters of space for me! I want to put all these little cuties in it!" Xu Ning swallowed his saliva, picked yam eggs, and threw them into the treasure box!
Many of the yam vines grew on the trees. Xu Ning was short and couldn't reach them. Thinking that all the yams had to be dug up, he left some of the rhizomes on the ground to make it easier to find a place to dig. The rest were pulled down by Xu Ning.
Xu Ning was very strong and she broke many vines, with many yam eggs still hanging on the branches.
