Jia Zhengjin looked at the surrounding environment and focused on the clear river not far from the house: "Shall we go for a walk by the river?"
"Yes!" Heiman, Ashley, Amanda, and Sara immediately followed behind him.
Several people came to the river, and Jia Zhengjin glanced at the river beach and the river.
In his opinion, such a big river must be rich in resources. There should be no problem in getting some freshwater fish and shrimp to eat.
I just searched for a long time, but I didn't see a fish or a shrimp. There were a lot of worm-shaped things swimming around inside.
And obviously, these bugs are inedible.
"Are there no fish or shrimps here?" Jia Zhengjin turned around and asked in confusion.
"Your Highness Princess, it seems that you have really forgotten everything!" Ashley replied, "This river is full of spine worms. They are the natural enemies of fish and shrimp. No fish or shrimp can survive here."
"Oh!" Jia Zhengjin pretended to be suddenly enlightened, "So there is nothing in the river except these bugs?"
"Yes!" Heiman sighed, "If there are fish and shrimps, I will definitely catch some for you, princess, and supply them every day!"
Jia Zhengjin scratched his head and looked around: "Where should we go for a stroll?"
"Yes!" The four of them quickly followed behind.
After walking for a while, I came to a bumpy area, which was filled with new soil and some strange plants were planted there.
【System】Barren land!
[System] Malnourished Gregongrass!
Glancing over it, you immediately understand that this is their farmland.
However, this kind of farmland is too useless, and they still grow unpalatable things.
"Why do we only grow Grigens here?" Jia Zhengjin turned around and asked, "Are there no other foods that can be grown?"
"Your Highness Princess," Sara came over and said, "There is no one among us who is good at planting. Growing this kind of Gregan was something Grandpa Latin learned when he was a child."
"Is that so?" Jia Zhengjin asked again, "There are so many plants in the forest, but no one knows which ones can be eaten and which ones cannot be eaten? Can't you try to grow some new foods?"
"Your Highness Princess," Heiman said quickly, "we have no pharmacists, no doctors, and no priests here. We are not from farmers, so we can't recognize you. There are poisonous weeds and poisonous fruits everywhere in the forest. Eating even one of them can kill you.
Don’t dare to try if you are not sure!”
Jia Zhengjin said in his heart that you are also very arrogant. After so many years, you have not found a new food variety, or you dare not find it. You can live on gargantuan alone, even if it is so unpalatable, it is amazing!
He nodded immediately, stopped talking, and walked straight ahead.
"Your Highness, I will clear the way for you!" Heiman came over in a hurry and entered the bushes ahead of Jia Zhengjin, in order to check the surroundings to make sure that no venomous snakes or insects appeared to harm Her Highness the Princess.
Ashley and the three of them followed closely, constantly looking around to investigate. The four people surrounded Jia Zhengjin in the middle, not daring to make any oversights.
It's pretty well protected.
Jia Zhengjin looked casually towards the roadside, scanning his eyes and identifying them through the system.
What they said was indeed true. Many of the fruits of the plants along the way were highly poisonous, and very few of them were actually edible.
But I was pretty lucky, and I quickly found something edible.
【Sumi Melon】The pulp, seeds, leaves and vines of Sumi Melon are all good ingredients and can be used to cook delicious food.
Seeing this introduction, Jia Zhengjin felt happy.
But he knew that if Heiman and Ashley saw him reaching out to pick it, they would definitely be stopped. Asking them to pick it would probably also scare them.
So when a few people around me were not paying attention, I quickly bent down and picked off a Sumi melon, touched it to my mouth and took a small bite.
"Your Highness!!" Heiman, Ashley and others who heard the noise turned around and saw this scene, their faces turned pale with fright, and they hurriedly tried to snatch the Sumi melon and make him spit out the part in his mouth.
What if it is a highly poisonous fruit? If the princess is in danger, no one can afford it!
"Your Highness, spit it out!" Ashley, Amanda, and Sara, the three girls, were so anxious that they almost cried, "Don't eat randomly!"
"Your Highness, hurry up! Spit it out! What if it's poisonous?" Heiman was also extremely anxious.
Jia Zhengjin avoided them, chewed a few times and swallowed the pulp in one bite: "It's quite sweet, not poisonous!"
"Your Highness, are you really okay?" Heiman looked at her anxiously.
"Your Highness Princess!!" Ashley and the three of them also surrounded Jia Zhengjin, constantly looking at his face to make sure he was okay.
"I told you it's not poisonous!" Jia Zhengjin clapped the sumi melon in his hand and handed it to Ashley and the others, "Take it!"
In panic, the three girls hurriedly reached out to take it, holding the Sumi melon that Jia Zhengjin had bitten.
"Your Highness, can you stick out your tongue and show it to me?" Heiman was still very worried.
"Bold!" Jia Zhengjin quickly got into the role, "You actually asked me to stick out my tongue. It's so rude!"
"Princess, forgive me!!" Heiman said hurriedly, "I am just worried about your safety, if there is any poison..."
"I told you it's not poisonous!" Jia Zhengjin bent down and pulled up the entire Sumi vine, picked a leaf and stuffed it into his mouth.
Heiman, Ashley and others were startled again and felt even more panicked.
Jia Zhengjin chewed a few mouthfuls and spat it out on the ground: "It doesn't taste good raw. It seems like it needs to be cooked."
"Your Highness Princess, you..."
"I have tried it myself, and this plant is edible!" Jia Zhengjin said, "You guys help me look for it and see if there are any around, and we will take them all back. When the time comes, we will take out some of them for planting, and treat the rest as
dinner!"
"Your Highness Princess, we cannot eat such unknown food casually, in case..."
"What if? If it was poisonous, I would have had an attack a long time ago!" Jia Zhengjin said, "Don't you think I'm fine?"
"But Your Highness the Princess..."
"Follow my orders!" Jia Zhengjin snapped his fingers, "Find all the plants similar to this one nearby and bring them back!"
Everyone was stunned by his finger snapping action. After all, they had never seen it before and thought it was strange.
I also had doubts in my heart. After all, I didn’t even know what it was. What if it was poisonous?
However, the princess had to obey the order. Heiman, Ashley, Amanda, and Sara looked at each other. After making eye contact, they gritted their teeth and began to search for this plant everywhere.
Not to mention, there are quite a lot of these Sumi melons around, so it should be a wild melon field.
After a while, we found a dozen plants and pulled them all together. There were also seven or eight sumi melons.
"Very good!" Jia Zhengjin was very happy when he saw the result, "We have dinner! Come, take them back to me and watch me turn them into delicious dishes!"
Heiman turned to look at the girls. Ashley, Amanda, and Sara also turned to look at him, all with worries in their hearts.
