Chapter 510 Stone Fruit
After breakfast, Bai Qingqing went to see the puddle out of boredom.
The waterwheel turned like a rusty old machine.
A layer of ice formed on the outside of the bamboo tube and was spreading inside. If left alone, it would be completely sealed sooner or later. Most of the water was frozen, and only the water wheel was splashing with water.
"Lan Ze?" Bai Qingqing threw a pebble into the water.
Soon, a blue mermaid came up and looked at Bai Qingqing with a pair of misty blue eyes.
Bai Qingqing suddenly realized something was wrong, "Isn't your lair inside? How did you know I was coming?"
"I lay down and slept under the waterwheel. I could see any orcs coming over. That nest is only for females." Lanze straightened his hair, and the blue hair spread out in the water, bright and elegant like a cluster of seaweed.
Lan Ze woke up after blowing in the cold air, and said with a smile: "This water truck is good, the water that was poured down has a lot of oxygen, and it is much more comfortable in the water."
Bai Qingqing also smiled, "Then I'm relieved. Is there not enough food in the water? I asked Parker to bring the bacon."
Lan Ze lay on the bank, slapping the fish's tail casually: "No need, I can transform into a human form and go to the river to catch food."
"Okay." Bai Qingqing thought to herself that if she lived here permanently, she would have to put fish in the puddle, otherwise Lanze would eat all the fish here.
"The bucket is freezing. It seems that it will need to be maintained frequently in the future. I'm going to bring hot water to melt the ice." Bai Qingqing waved to Lanze, turned around and left.
Lanze was on the shore, smashing all the ice on the water surface while he was free, holding an ice board and sliding to the bottom of the water.
At noon, Vincent came back with a bag full of things.
Bai Qingqing was lying on the mattress, feeling lazy. When she saw the food Vincent brought back, she immediately cheered up.
"What did you bring back? It took you so long."
Parker shrugged his nose and immediately transformed into a human form, "Did you meet the Scorpion Tribe?"
The smile on Bai Qingqing's face immediately faded, "Are you really here?"
"I strengthened the Tiger Clan's guards, and they were discovered as soon as they arrived."
Vincent transformed into a human form and said, wrapping an animal skin around his waist, and then poured out all the contents of the bag and rolled them all over the floor.
There are chestnuts inside, as well as a large number of oval lumps.
Bai Qingqing opened her mouth wide, forgetting even the threat of the Scorpion clan.
"Potato!"
"This is a stone fruit." Vincent corrected.
"Potatoes, stone fruits, they all mean the same thing."
Bai Qingqing was overjoyed. She kept sniffing the potatoes and said with certainty: "Is this dug out of the soil?"
Although I can only smell the earthy smell.
Vincent's expression was still serious, but his eyes were bright, and he said: "Well, I know you like to be vegetarian. I asked about the fruits that the beasts can eat. This season, only thorn fruits and stone fruits can be eaten."
"These are called potatoes in our place. It turns out you have them here too. Potatoes are my favorite!" Bai Qingqing fished out several potatoes in one hand and wanted to take a few bites of them raw.
It turns out that the stone fruits Ford mentioned were potatoes. If I had known better, I would have dug them. Potatoes are also food.
It can be eaten simply by boiling it, and it can also be fried or stir-fried. After making potato starch, you can also make vermicelli, wide noodles, and fry starch cakes. The food will be rich in the future!
I finally have a staple food, okay? !
Parker looked at the food on the ground, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why didn't they tell me if I asked?"
"The stones matured during the cold season, and some have just matured now," Vincent explained.
Parker was relieved, rubbed it on his animal skin skirt, and handed it to Bai Qingqing: "Qingqing, eat it."
