Chapter 960 Roasted sweet potatoes are too fragrant
"......."
As soon as Yingying buried the sweet potatoes and lit the fire, she heard the shouts of the savages behind her. She stiffened and slowly turned around, and saw a group of savages kneeling down to her, with worship on their faces.
"Goddess, please have mercy on the dragon tribe!"
Their Dragon Tribe is already in decline. All the adult males in the tribe have died from injuries and have lost their ability to hunt. The females have also been captured by people from the Yang Tribe and other tribes. Now there is only a group of old and weak people left in the tribe who are starving. Belly.
They didn't catch any prey when they came out, and they didn't know how to return to the tribe. But now a mysterious female who can make fire suddenly appeared, and everyone's despair suddenly came back to life.
This must be because the god couldn't bear the dragon tribe to perish like this, so he sent the goddess to save them.
Everyone's admiration for Yingying has reached its peak, and now they are willing even if Yingying wants their lives.
Naturally, Yingying would not kill them, but these people arranged an identity for her, so she didn't have to worry about it.
It just so happens that the identity of the goddess sounds very bluffing, but at least her life is saved.
As Yingying thought like this, the expression on her face became sacred and solemn. As the daughter of Shen Yanqing and Jiang Miao, she knew how to handle the majesty of a superior. Sure enough, seeing her like this, everyone looked at her as a goddess. I am more convinced of my identity.
"Goddess, can you give the dragon tribe some fire, just a little."
The rainy season is coming soon, and they have no food. If there is no fire, they don't know if they can make it through. Especially the old people and children in the tribe, they may have to wait for death.
Thinking of this, everyone's eyes were full of sadness. Is the Dragon Tribe really hopeless?
Yingying didn't know the situation of the Dragon Tribe, but she knew from everyone's expressions that they were in danger. Now was the best time to gain trust, and she would naturally agree to everyone's request.
"Don't worry, I will light a fire for the dragon tribe. Not only will there be fire, but there will also be food."
Her voice was obviously so gentle, but it had a soothing effect on everyone's ears, as if she was being taken care of by the gods, and she suddenly had hope of living.
"Is there really going to be food?"
If they still doubted Yingying before, now they can only look forward to it. If the goddess said there is, there will definitely be.
They were just curious about what this food was.
They searched the woods nearby several times, but there was no sign of prey at all. Could it be that there was a place they missed?
Everyone looked at each other and asked with their eyes.
Yingying did not speak, but silently turned the fire up a little. Everyone looked at her actions, and although they were curious, they did not rush her. There must be a reason for what the goddess did, so they could just wait.
Two quarters of an hour later, a strange fragrance suddenly emitted from the fire. As the breeze carried everyone's noses, the sound of swallowing and salivating was heard in the silent forest, mixed with the sound of stomach growling.
"What does this smell like? It smells so good!"
At this time, the Yao Continent did not have the tradition of eating cooked food. Everyone was eating raw meat and drinking blood, so the concept of food was only to satisfy the feeling of fullness. The raw meat had no other taste except fishy smell, and other fruit tree roots were only sour and sweet. It was the first time for them to smell such a strong fragrance, and there was a desire for food that filled everyone's hearts.
They wanted to see what gave off such a strong smell. Could it be something that the gods ate and was brought to the Yao Continent by the goddess?
Yingying estimated the time, these sweet potatoes should be roasted in two quarters of an hour.
She used a branch to open the fire, and the top layer of soil was lifted off, and the scent of the sweet potatoes covered underneath became stronger and stronger. Not only did these sweet potatoes grow bigger, but the flesh was also fuller and sweeter than Dayan's. After roasting, the fragrance even
Yingying, who was used to eating delicacies from the mountains, couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
"System, is the food in Yao Continent better than Dayan's?" she asked the system while picking up sweet potatoes.
We don't actually know the system, but many plants in later generations have undergone mutation. However, whether this mutation is good or bad has not yet been determined. After all, even modern people's research on ancient times only remains on the surface.
"There should be more varieties. As for the taste, you need to taste it yourself."
The system only gave an ambiguous answer. Yingying knew that nothing could be learned from him, so he had no choice but to give up.
She picked out a slightly smaller sweet potato from the fire, cooled it, and then peeled off the skin with her hands.
The flesh of the sweet potatoes here is all yellow, fragrant and soft. The freshly roasted flesh is still steaming, and the aroma is tangy. Yingying couldn't help but lowered his head and took a bite. The aroma exploded in his mouth in an instant, and his whole body was filled with excitement.
A deep sense of satisfaction.
"tasty."
She squinted her eyes and took several more bites. Seeing her appearance, everyone couldn't wait.
"Goddess, what kind of food is this? Is it delicious?"
They asked while swallowing their saliva. If they didn't respect Yingying's identity, they would have rushed over to snatch her away.
This strange fruit is definitely delicious without asking.
"You guys have a try."
Yingying looked at them with a smile and pointed at the sweet potatoes in the fire.
She baked a dozen, enough for these people to eat.
Upon hearing Ying Ying's words, everyone rushed over.
People in the Yao mainland are all afraid of fire, but no one is afraid of flames now. They learned the method that Yingying did before, using branches to pull the sweet potatoes out of the fire, and then couldn't wait to peel off the skin regardless of how hot the sweet potatoes were.
The pulp inside was exposed, and they took a greedy bite, and their eyes suddenly lit up.
"Woooo...it's delicious, it's delicious!"
This is what people should eat. They used to hunt hard, and the meat they ate was not delicious at all. It could not be compared with the fruits in their hands.
For a moment, everyone in the Dragon Tribe cried.
It turns out that there are such delicious things in this world, and you don’t have to pay the price of your life to get them.
They had seen what Yingying found sweet potatoes in this clearing before, and knew that the fruit grew in the ground and grew much larger, enough for the people of the Dragon Tribe to eat.
If the goddess is willing to give this fruit to the dragon tribe, then the people in their tribe will not have to starve, and maybe they can survive this rainy season.
Thinking of this, everyone's admiration for Yingying reached its peak, and they were reluctant to eat the sweet potatoes in their hands.
Yingying felt that it was funny but also a little sad at the same time. It was just a sweet potato. If they were so moved, they would not be able to regard themselves as gods if they found more food in the future.
No, I have long become a goddess in the eyes of everyone.
Yingying shook her head helplessly. Her mission was to lead the dragon tribe to rise. Sweet potatoes were just the first food to fill her stomach. She would find more things later.
