Chapitre 29

Each one is irresistible.

The tribe members had never tasted such delicious fruit before.

Those persimmons are soft and glutinous, and many elderly people love to eat them.

As a result, he got an upset stomach because he ate too much.

Fortunately, he had kept the persimmon stems, intending to use them in medicine.

Persimmon calyx has antitussive and antidiarrheal properties.

Fortunately, the beastmen were physically strong, and after drinking the persimmon calyx decoction a few times, they felt much better and did not need to take any other medicine.

Otherwise, he would have to search the whole mountain for antidiarrheal herbs for them.

Leftover apples were made into dried apples, which were sun-dried until golden brown and sweet and chewy.

But after this bout of diarrhea, no one dared to indulge in anything too much.

I don't eat more than ten tablets at a time, because I'm afraid of getting diarrhea if I eat too many.

Oranges and persimmons are made into jam, and the jars are sealed with mud and leaves for preservation.

When eating, some people open the package and scoop it out directly with a spoon, while others stir it in hot water and drink it as a sweet drink.

The pears were eaten while they were being chopped and boiled into a soup, so there was no way to make anything else from them.

Small pieces of pear are placed in an earthenware pot and simmered over low heat, bringing out the pear's natural sweetness and aroma.

A sip of pear soup is refreshing and sweet, concentrating the essence of the entire pear, leaving a lingering fragrance in your mouth.

The pear flesh is stewed until soft and tender, and it tastes delicious when paired with a sip of pear soup.

The people of the Mu tribe always feel regretful after drinking pear soup.

If you could have a sip of pear soup like this in winter, the taste would be absolutely wonderful.

Unfortunately, the pears couldn't be preserved until then.

Because of the system's warehouse, Shen Nong made a lot of jam and kept a lot of pears, all of which were stored in the system's warehouse.

The system is no longer surprised that the host uses the system warehouse like a refrigerator.

They even thoughtfully moved out a lot of salt stones for Shen Nong so that his place wouldn't be so crowded.

[Host, autumn will arrive in seven days.]

The system reminded Shen Nong to prepare for the awakening of the orcs.

Shen Nong's kang was covered with a pile of dry grass, and several layers of fine animal hides were placed on top of it.

He was completely absorbed in it, his hands crossed on his stomach, his index fingers tapping incessantly on the back of his hands.

After thinking for a while, he said, "After autumn comes winter, and the meat available in the tribe is a bit monotonous."

system:..

If it ever worries about its host again, it's a dog.

"Tiger Roar, is there anywhere around here where we can fish?"

Shen Nong thought all night about how to make the tribe's meat offerings more abundant. In the end, she started to crave fish and fish soup.

Hu Xiao glanced at Ze standing next to Shen Nong and said, "There is a very wide river near the Ze tribe, and there are many big fish in it."

"Have you ever arrested anyone there?"

Shen Nong was a little puzzled. If she hadn't caught any, how would she know how big and numerous the fish were?

"Yes, we used to go there to catch fish when we had absolutely nothing to eat."

Shen Nong smiled and said, "Then let's go catch more fish now and save them for winter."

Hu Xiao thought about how bitter the fish would taste, how hard it was to chew the shell, and how the bones would get stuck in his throat, and he really wanted to refuse it.

“Priest, the fish doesn’t taste good.” Hu Xiao glanced at Ze again, his voice even lower, “Besides, the Ze tribe lives nearby now, and the Ze tribe doesn’t allow anyone to catch fish there.”

Shen Nong asked, "Is that river part of the Ze tribe's territory?"

If it's someone else's territory, he really can't just go and catch fish directly.

"No, not exactly." Hu Xiao thought for a while and then said, "The Ze tribe doesn't put up wooden signs and place animal bones in places that are designated as tribal territory. They have to put these there."

"The place where the Ze tribe is located used to be the Shui tribe. When the Shui tribe was there, they didn't care who went to the river to catch fish."

"But three years ago, after the Water Tribe was driven out by the Ze Tribe, the Ze Tribe stopped letting our tribe catch fish there to eat unless we traded animal hides for them. Fish taste so bad, only a fool would trade animal hides for them."

Shen Nong ignored the fact that "the fish tastes terrible" and asked, "Since it's not Ze tribe's territory, and they don't allow others to catch fish, why don't other tribes cause them any trouble?"

Tiger Roar gave Shen Nong a strange look. "Besides our tribe not being able to hunt enough food, no one from other tribes would go out and catch fish to eat."

After saying that, Hu Xiao added, "Even if they go fishing, the Ze tribe won't say anything."

Shen Nong asked, "Why?"

"Because the Ze tribe can't defeat them."

Shen Nong's lips twitched slightly; this really was a perfect reason.

Hu Xiao kept observing Ze's expression while speaking, but Ze remained expressionless.

He didn't know if Ze was angry about him telling the priest that the Ze tribe was bad.

After all, Ze was originally from the Ze tribe.

For safety's sake, Tiger Roar suggested, "Priest, if you want to eat fish, we can catch them a little further upstream from the Ze tribe."

Shen Nong nodded and said, "Then go and call more people."

Hu Xiao went out to call for help with a worried look on his face. Just thinking about the bitter, fishy smell of the fish made his stomach feel uncomfortable.

Well, thankfully we have dried fruit and jam to eat now.

Next time, after eating fish, I'll have a spoonful of jam or a few pieces of dried fruit to sweeten my mouth.

Speaking of the Ze tribe, Shen Nong turned to Ze and asked, "Do you want to come along?"

Ze nodded, his gaze fixed intently on Shen Nong. "Wherever the priest goes, I will go."

"Alright," Shen Nong handed the basket to Ze, "carry this, we'll fill it up today."

"good."

When they heard that they were going to catch fish, Rabbit Wind and the others were unwilling.

Back then, they were starving, but they couldn't even swallow a bite of fish.

Now that they have enough meat to eat and have tasted such delicious fruit, they can no longer stomach fish.

However, they would obey the priests' orders.

The priests wanted to eat fish, so they caught the biggest fish.

Catgrass, along with Tiger Mountain and Rabbit Flower, mingled in the group, carrying baskets on their backs, eager to catch more fish for the priest.

Although the priest's taste is rather strange.

The Ze tribe was not far from the Mu tribe, and the upper reaches of the river were even closer to the Mu tribe.

They arrived at the Mu tribe shortly after they set off.

Hu Xiao and the others were about to transform into human form and enter the water to catch fish for Shen Nong and bring them ashore, but Shen Nong stuffed a basket into each of their arms.

The shape of this basket is different from the ones they usually carry on their backs.

Some are long and thin, pointed at both ends, bulging in the middle, with one end that can be opened.

The basket was tied with a very strong hemp rope.

"Open this opening, place it by the river, and weigh it down with a stone. Pull the rope up, but be careful not to pull the secured basket out as well."

Shen Nong taught them how to use it, and then let them go into the water.

He looked at the wide river and thought about fishing.

However, there were no fishhooks.

I don't even know if we'll be able to find any iron ore...

Shen Nong was lost in thought when Hu Xiao and the others, following Shen Nong's instructions, placed the fish baskets and then went straight to the water to catch fish.

Cat grass and rabbit flower, those that haven't awakened yet and can't swim, are all on the shore catching fish thrown up from the water.

Shen Nong watched as tigers, rabbits, cows, cats, and sheep swam in the wide river...

Everyone is trying their best to catch fish.

This is truly a spectacle...

Because of its large size, every time Tiger Roars turns and pounces, the orcs closest to it are either overturned or pushed away by the water waves.

Before long, the area around Tiger Roar was empty, with only him, a large tiger, catching fish all by himself.

Shen Nong stood on the shore watching them splash around in the water. After a while, she got bored and suddenly had the idea to play in the water.

He squatted down, scooped up a handful of water with his palm, and splashed it onto Ze, who was standing like a statue beside him.

Water droplets splashed onto Ze's bare chest, then slowly slid down, passing over the undulating muscles of his abdomen, and finally disappeared into the animal skin around his waist.

Shen Nong's gaze followed the water droplets downwards, and she couldn't help but whistle.

Attracted by Shen Nong's strange whistle, Ze stared at her with his handsome eyes, clean and serious.

Shen Nong met the other person's gaze, turned her head, and coughed lightly, "Want to learn?"

He nodded and replied sincerely, "It sounds nice."

It's just a whistle, nothing special.

After Shen Nong finished complaining, she said to Ze, "I'll teach you."

Ze smiled and nodded vigorously, "Mm."

Shen Nong looked at the river, a slight smile playing on her lips. She wondered why learning to whistle could make her so happy.

"brush".
