Chapter 40 Discovery of Chestnuts and Mushrooms



The chestnut tree, which takes several people to encircle, was climbed by a male as nimble as a monkey in just a few steps.

In the height of summer, one doesn't know whether to be amazed by the plants magnified several times in the animal world, or to marvel at the scenery beneath the male's animal skin skirt.

They moved very quickly, and she was forced to look at several large birds, which were really big!

Sheng Xia wanted to cover her eyes, but her body betrayed her and kept staring.

Aoki turned around and saw her staring wide-eyed, her cheeks flushed with surprise. He smiled smugly; he still had plenty to offer.

The other females were completely different from Shengxia; they not only looked at each other but also started discussing them.

Crescent Moon's cheeks flushed slightly as she swallowed, "Aoki's is so big!"

La Hua's eyes lit up: "Mushan's is good too, I like it as soon as I see it."

Seph smiled smugly; Kiyama had promised to be her partner.

I was originally planning to mark it later, but it seems I need to hurry. I'll mark it when I get back today, so that no one will keep an eye on it.

Shengxia twitched the corners of her mouth, secretly sighing at the openness of the beast world.

Suddenly, a ripe chestnut fell, and Sheng Xia was startled: "Quickly dodge it, stay away, this could kill someone if it hits you."

The females scattered and kept their distance.

In the height of summer, seeing the scattered chestnuts on the ground, he entered harvesting mode, using a stick to pry open the leaves, leaving nothing behind.

Other females joined the gathering team, happily picking chestnuts, and soon a basket was full.

Upon seeing this, the males became even more excited, picking all the chestnuts off the tree.

If the other females in the tribe found out that they hadn't picked as many as the females, they would inevitably lose their right to choose a mate.

Soon, a huge chestnut tree was completely harvested, and the remaining chestnuts on the ground were also caught by the females.

There were three huge piles of them, which were difficult to carry back.

There are also green-headed mushrooms piled on the ground. We put them on palm leaves to collect chestnuts, and now we need to weave a few baskets for them.

Looking at Aoki, the leader of the group, Shengxia suggested, "Let's peel off the outer shells here, weave a few baskets, and take the fruit back with us."

“Okay.” Aoki agreed without hesitation. After all, it was Shengxia who discovered that the fruit was edible, so listening to her was the right thing to do.

This time, the females weren't allowed to do the work. Several males transformed their hands into beast-like forms, their claws creating afterimages as they quickly peeled a pile of chestnuts.

After that, he started weaving baskets, mainly working as a tool.

Finally, they filled three large baskets with chestnuts and one large basket with green-headed mushrooms.

The basket, as tall as a beast, was easily carried by the males, and everyone returned home with smiles on their faces, their loads plentiful.

We had a great harvest today. The sun was still high in the sky when the picking team returned.

"The hunting party is back!" Crescent Moon's joyful voice rang out.

In the height of summer, a circle of orcs surrounded the hunting party in the square.

They stood there, reeking of blood and exuding murderous intent, watching the witch doctor in the middle distribute the meat.

The summer picking teams consciously lined up at the back.

Upon seeing Wolf King in the group, Sheng Xia beamed with a big smile.

She had never seen a wolf king like this before, with a lingering murderous aura about him.

Her cold gaze added a touch of allure to her gentle features, making her both icy and captivating.

Aoki stepped forward and spoke to the witch doctor. He laughed heartily, his kind face full of surprise.

"Stop for a moment, hunting team, move aside, harvesting team, come up and take inventory first."

The men of the hunting party looked bewildered, but they all obediently made way for them.

The shaman explained loudly, "Today the gathering team discovered new food that can be eaten during the snow season. Hahaha, our tribe will get better and better."

With a bang, everyone stared in disbelief at the picking team, their eyes fixed intently on Sheng Xia. It must be her; she had found food again.

The shaman looked at Shengxia and said, "Yes, it was Shengxia who found it again. She's a good female, and the tribe has decided to give her the whole giant tiger skin as a reward!"

!!

Everyone was stunned. That animal hide was the best-preserved whole hide ever found, and when unfolded, it was as big as a thatched hut!

But then I thought about the new food that summer brings, and I stopped worrying about it. Summer deserves it!

Wolf King straightened his back with pride; his summer was truly outstanding.

In the height of summer, I don't know how to preserve chestnuts to make them taste good. I only know that if they are dried, they can be eaten and can be stored for a long time.

No one should mind if the taste is a little off.

She told the chief this truthfully.

In the beast world, food is precious. More food during the snowy season means more hope for survival, and sometimes taste is secondary.

The chief doesn't care about the taste at all; he has already decided to pluck the chestnut trees bare in the next few days.

Although the quantity is small, everyone is willing to pick them as long as they are edible, especially since they can be preserved until the snow season.

The chief rubbed his hands together excitedly: "It's the height of summer! Can this green mushroom be preserved until the snow season?"

It looks wet and could easily break, but what if it does?

Shengxia smiled and said, "Yes, it's possible. Just like chestnuts, if you dry them and store them properly, they can be preserved for a year."

The beasts beside them didn't dare to breathe loudly; Shengxia's affirmative reply thrilled them.

The group of males couldn't wait to pick all the chestnuts and gather all the mushrooms, since this was a food that could be preserved for a year!

The swallowtail butterfly hid among the beasts, gazing at the magnificent summer scenery, its silver teeth almost grinding to powder.

This wretched summer! I failed to cure the bacon last time, so this time I must learn how to preserve food for a year.

Finally, the witch doctor distributed some mushrooms and chestnuts to the beasts in the gathering team, and planned to process the remaining mushrooms in the square, which were then given to Shengxia.

The chestnuts were carefully placed away, ready to be dried and saved for the snowy season.
