Chapter 56 A Bumper Harvest (1)
Following the map's directions, Ruan Mianmian led Sen and Yu to a place with withered, yellow vegetation.
Ruan Mianmian could tell at a glance that these plants were potato stems and leaves.
The weather has turned cold now, and there shouldn't be any animals like rabbits living nearby, which is why these potatoes have been preserved until now.
"Wow, there are so many potatoes here. I wonder how long it will take to dig them all."
Looking at that single dot on the map, Ruan Mianmian knew that the entire surrounding area was covered by it.
Recalling the near-death experience of digging a potato in the Lala Mountains, and looking at her right-hand women now, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
"Ruanruan, there are potatoes here, right? Why can't we see them?"
Yu looked around and saw only lush vegetation and tall trees.
Hearing that they had never eaten potatoes, Ruan Mianmian felt a little disappointed. How come they hadn't discovered such a delicious and easy-to-store food?
So while she dug in the soil, she explained to them how to eat potatoes and what they were used for, emphasizing that it was a very filling crop that could be eaten as a staple food when there was no other food available.
The most crucial point is that it is easy to store.
In the place where she used to live, potatoes were a staple food that many people would store in large quantities during the winter.
Sen and Yu were agitated when they heard Ruan Mianmian's explanation, especially when she said that the area under their feet was full of potatoes, which meant they had plenty of food.
Moreover, these potatoes are easy to store, so how could their tribe still worry about food in winter?
First came the mooing herd of animals, then a huge field of potatoes.
The goddess was indeed sent by the Beast God to save them.
As Ruan Mianmian explained, a potato the size of a football was dug out.
I don't know if it will taste good yet, but judging from its size, I know I definitely won't go hungry after eating it.
Thinking back to last winter, two small beastmen who hadn't yet taken human form died in the last month because they couldn't withstand the cold and lack of food. Sen and Yu felt particularly sad.
"Sen, Yu, this is such a large area, how are we going to dig it all out? If Tu were here, that would be great."
Ruan Mianmian's timely words brought them back to their senses.
“Little female, this is easy. It’s not far from our tribe, I can fly back and forth in no time. Or should I fly back and bring the soil over?”
Yu is a flying orc, so this distance is nothing to him.
The main issue is that everyone has their own expertise; he and Sen are indeed not good at digging or excavating.
The little female said there were quite a few potatoes, and it would take them forever to dig them all. It would be better for him to fly back and bring the people over.
"Ah, that's great! Yu, you should go back quickly and bring Tu with you. Or you could bring one more person, since there's strength in numbers!"
After saying that, Ruan Mianmian bought a small hot air balloon basket in the mall. It's the kind of hot air balloon that carries people underneath.
When they saw Ruan Mianmian take out something they had never seen before, Sen and Yu were already numb.
Ruan Mianmian put the potato she had dug out inside, then had Yu transform into a beast and fly back with the basket.
They can come over in baskets then.
Yu gripped both ends of the basket with his claws and found it easy to hold. The basket was just the right size to put things in and didn't affect his flight.
This is truly a magical thing, a divine gift bestowed upon them by the goddess; he must cherish it dearly.
If Ruan Mianmian knew that Yu regarded that basket as a sacred object, she would be speechless.
It's just a simple basket; it has absolutely nothing to do with any divine object.
After Yu flew away with the basket, Ruan Mianmian searched the area to see if there was anything else.
Then she kept zooming out of the map and actually discovered a new species.
"Sen, come with me."
Ruan Mianmian walked ahead, with Sen following closely behind her.
On this continent, she really wouldn't dare to act alone without Sen or Yu by her side.
After all, in this treacherous forest, even a tiny ant could take her life.
Following the map's directions, she walked to the base of a large tree, where several ginger plants were growing.
It's ginger, the perfect match for meat, something to keep warm in the cold winter, and something to dispel cold and treat fever.
Although you can buy it in her online store, what could be better than finding it in the real world?
Since there is ginger here, it means that other seasonings can also be found. Ruan Mianmian is confident that she can find them one by one.
Sen watched as the little female circled the plant in front of her with a slightly excited expression. He wondered what was so special about this somewhat pungent plant.
Orcs have a highly developed sense of smell, and to them, this plant was nothing special, except for its pungent and unpleasant odor.
Ruan Mianmian then explained the effects and benefits of ginger to Sen, whose eyes lit up when he heard it.
Ah, it's wonderful to bring the goddess out! Look, in such a short time, we've discovered another amazing plant that can even cure diseases!
Dig! Dig it all up!
