Chapter 344: Conquering a wise woman and marrying Huang Xing to farm (4)
Kahn enthusiastically found a suitable spot for her to dig a hole, not far from his home.
Xu Yin: "..."
I don’t really want to live in a cave.
But there is no way.
People here live in caves.
"Aren't you afraid of rainwater pouring in when it rains?"
"It hasn't rained so heavily. It can at most make the ground moist and soft." Kahn said, "Brother Hero, you are lucky. It just rained last night and the soil is still very soft. My brother and I just came here.
When I was there, I stayed at Uncle Simon’s house for several days.”
"..."
The rain last night was caused by her summons.
After slandering her, Xu Yin spurned herself: See what you can do!
Following the Romans, Xu Yin, with Kahn's help, used a wooden shovel ground from a red tree trunk to dig a hole large enough for her to live alone.
Please call her from now on - Xu Yin, the little hole-digging expert!
It was almost dark after digging the hole, and Kahn showed her the place where they usually bathed - at the foot of Kenghuan Mountain not far from here.
There is a natural lake there, which may have been formed after a meteorite struck it.
The water of the lake is blue and clear, but there are no aquatic plants in the lake and there are no green plants around the lake.
Xu Yin asked Kahn, are there any fish in the lake? New
It doesn't look like there are any fish or shrimps.
Kahn shook his head: "That one has to be found in a saltwater lake far away, but it doesn't exist here."
A saltwater lake? That’s the sea. What’s in the sea? Seafood!
Xu Yin suddenly became interested: "Didn't you go catch some and come back?"
"That fishy smell is so unpleasant to eat."
"..."
Nothing tastes good in your mouth.
She couldn't help but wonder: Are the fruits on the mangrove trees really unpalatable?
When they arrived, Xu Yin asked Kahn to lead the way to the mangrove at the bottom of the pit and picked two big red fruits.
The skin of the red fruit is very hard, and only the pedicle is soft. Use your thumb to pinch in and then break the fruit into two halves.
The pulp is soft and soft like elastic wadding, and after taking a bite, it tastes like wax as described by Kahn, bland and tasteless.
It's just...Xu Yin stared at the soft pulp for a long time, wondering if it would taste better if it was roasted.
She remembered that there was a kind of breadfruit in the tropics. It had no taste when eaten raw, but after baking or frying, it was fragrant and as tempting as the bread when it was freshly baked.
"Kahn, what do you use to make a fire?"
"It's a tinder box." Kahn took out a small thing that looked a bit like a lighter. "It's in the supply bag, but it's a pity that you didn't grab it today. Alas, we have to wait for another ten days."
Xu Yin didn't answer and asked him to pick up some dry red branches and make a fire.
When Kahn lit the fire, she observed carefully: Oh, that's how it is used, there are many!
After the fire was lit, Xu Yin threw a red fruit into the fire to see what it would look like when roasted with the shell on.
Break open the red fruit, peel out the soft pulp, and roast it over the flame with a branch.
After a while, the fragrance came out.
Kahn sniffed: "It smells so good! What does it smell like? It smells better than my brother's roasted insect meat!"
Xu Yin handed him the roasted and crunchy fruit flesh: "Try it."
Kahn was dubious, so he took it and took a sip.
Instantly, his eyes widened: "Wow! It's delicious! Is this red fruit flesh?"
Xu Yin nodded: "It seems that I have found the correct way to eat it."
"Brother Hero, you are so awesome! You are so awesome! How did you come up with the idea of roasting and eating it? We have been here for so long and we didn’t even know about it! No one here knows... You are so awesome! You are one of us
The most powerful among them!"
Kahn has starry eyes and becomes Xu Yin's fanboy because of a piece of roasted red fruit.
Xu Yin: "..."
This fanboy is a bit cheap.
She herself took a few bites of the roasted, crispy red flesh.
It smells good, but actually tastes average, far worse than bread. After all, it's not sweet.
But compared to eating it raw, it is indeed much more delicious.
She picked a strong branch and used it as a poker to pull out the dark red fruits that were roasted in the fire.
After it cools, crack it open and take a look.
Huh?
What about the pulp? Why is it all in powder?
"Is it too dry?" Kahn came over and asked, "It seems that the method you just used, Brother Hero, works better."
Xu Yin twisted some white powder and tasted it. Suddenly, her eyes lit up: Flour?
It tastes like flour when eaten like this.
"Quick, quick, quick! Kahn, go pick some more fruits and come back." She got up and ran towards the mangrove.
Kahn followed her without knowing why: "But this doesn't taste good."
"That's not how you eat it. I have another way. I'll pick it all and roast them first."
The two of them worked together and came back with four or five more red fruits.
When the skin is completely roasted and blackened, crack it open, take out the powdered pulp inside, and put it into a bucket-shaped container made of folded red fruit leaves.
"walk home!"
Xu Yin asked Kahn to completely extinguish the fire, and happily returned to the simple cave with today's results.
"Oops! I forgot to bring back the mangrove pulp." Kahn only remembered it when he got home and slapped his forehead.
"It's okay, I can do it tomorrow." Xu Yin's mind was not on the mangrove pulp at all.
She wanted to use these powders to see if she could make noodles.
The answer is yes!!!
When Kahn ate the hand-pulled noodles cooked by Xu Yin, he was so happy that he almost shed tears.
"It's so delicious... Woohoo... Brother Hero, you are so awesome! Are you really not from the Emperor Star? I always thought that only people from the Emperor Star can afford food made from natural ingredients."
"..."
"By the way, Brother Hero, where did you hide these things and bring them in?" He pointed to the seasonings Xu Yin used to make noodles, "Didn't the executive officer who sent you to the channel entrance search you? Or was it your space?
The button was not detected? My brother’s space button was confiscated.”
Kahn was halfway through eating when he thought of this question.
Xu Yin originally wanted to say that she brought it in hidden in the middle of her clothes. After all, she could endure it without ingredients. How could she endure it if there were ingredients but no seasoning?
Until he mentioned the space button, could it be said that this era has developed to the point where everyone has a portable space?
With this thought in mind, I asked.
Kahn was even more shocked than she was: "What? One for each person? Brother Hero, is the planet you live on so developed?"
"..."
The brain circuits of the two people are never on the same line.
Until he pursed his lips and muttered: "My brother's space button is only owned by the rich man who robbed an emperor star when he was a star thief..."
Only then did Xu Yin understand.
In any case, with the space button as a reason, I will have an excuse to get something that is not a product of the Desolate Star in the future.
After eating and drinking, Kahn went back to his home to sleep contentedly.
Xu Yin sat cross-legged in the empty cave, feeling speechless and desolate.
It seems that the house still needs to be built.
It's okay to live in a cave for a few nights, but living there every day is really unacceptable.
However, we need to test whether the soil here is suitable for farming first. If it is not suitable, there will be no use in building a house here.
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
When Shen Changqing walks on the road and meets familiar people, he will say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who it is.
There is no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they are indifferent to everything.
Regarding this.
Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, it also has some other side jobs.
It can be said.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.
The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Slayer Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.
Then he will be promoted step by step, and eventually he is expected to become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Department, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.
Possess the memory of the previous life.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppression Division that are full of chills, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppression Division.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Enter the attic.
The environment changes in vain.
The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, causing him to frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood that comes from everyone in the Zhenmo Division.
