Chapter 173 Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Then Nan Qiao picked up a relatively intact bird eggshell and made a simple soup spoon.
Then he scooped the soup and meat cooked in the pot into other eggshells and passed them to the tribesmen around him.
Everyone held this special "bowl" with curiosity and excitement in their eyes.
The tribesmen carefully held the bowl-like eggshell, sniffed the tempting aroma, drank a mouthful of soup impatiently, and picked up a piece of meat with their hands and put it into their mouths.
"Wow, it's delicious! The taste of this soup is amazing." A tanned male's face was full of surprise, with a gleam in his eyes.
"Yes, this meat is tender and fragrant, completely different from the barbecue we ate yesterday." The other tribesmen echoed, their faces filled with satisfaction.
The leader, Agula, also held the eggshell and took a sip of the soup. He couldn't help but praise it: "Lord Chosen One, you have brought us an unprecedented delicacy. This is really a magical way to eat it."
Nan Qiao smiled, holding her eggshell, drinking the hot soup, then picked up a piece of wild vegetable with simple chopsticks made of branches and put it in her mouth. The warm feeling spread throughout her body, making her feel much more comfortable.
As she ate, she thought, "If only there were some seasoning, like salt or MSG, the broth would definitely be more delicious."
Seeing everyone enjoying the meal so much, she also felt extremely satisfied.
However, the pot of meat and wild vegetable soup are just a drop in the bucket for the entire tribe.
Agula ordered Kamu to take a few people and make a few more pots of broth according to Nanqiao's method.
The females, who had just tasted the delicious soup, put down the eggshells in their hands and took the initiative to walk towards the stream and the surrounding grass, wanting to find more wild vegetables.
Nan Qiao was not idle either. She went over to help pick wild vegetables while searching carefully around.
This primitive world is rich in vegetation, and there may be exotic flowers and precious medicinal herbs that are not found in modern times.
Suddenly, her eyes were attracted by a clump of plants growing in the cracks of the rocks.
The leaves of the plant were dark purple, with strange patterns on the surface, faintly glowing, and there were some tiny hairs on the stems.
Nan Qiao's heart moved. She squatted down, carefully pushed aside the surrounding weeds, and observed carefully. The roots of the plant showed a crystal-clear texture, as if it contained mysterious power.
Nan Qiao was pleasantly surprised to find that this was actually an extremely rare medicinal herb - Purple Spirit Crystal Whiskers Grass.
In modern times, this medicinal material only exists in ancient texts. It is said to have magical medicinal value and has extraordinary effects in treating some difficult and complicated diseases.
She quickly took out a special container from the space, carefully dug up the purple spirit crystal whisker grass with its roots, put it into the container, and then quickly put it back into the space jade pendant.
This major discovery made Nan Qiao very excited. If there is one, there will be two. There must be many similar medicinal herbs in this world.
Nan Qiao continued to explore around the tribe with excitement.
Nan Qiao searched deeper and deeper, and entered a quiet valley, where she discovered a large area of precious medicinal herbs.
A large piece of Bupleurum with thick and straight stems and bright green and stretched leaves, without any signs of yellowing or insect damage, you can tell at a glance that it is a top-quality choice.
The Rehmannia root not far away is also growing well. Its plump tubers are buried deep in the soil, leaving only the lush leaves above the ground. The leaves are thick and shiny. It is a good medicinal herb for clearing heat and cooling blood.
Each Astragalus plant has well-developed roots, a thick main root, a light yellow-brown skin with clear texture, and is full of nourishment from the earth.
Nan Qiao waved his hand and put everything into the space jade pendant.
After harvesting, Nan Qiao searched the land, and suddenly, her eyes lit up.
In a hidden patch of grass, several ginseng plants are growing quietly.
Their main roots are thick and sturdy, like a human figure, and their roots are slender and numerous, winding in the soil like an old man's beard. Each root is full of vitality. This is a rare treasure.
Walking further, several Ganoderma lucidum appeared in front of us.
The cap of the Ganoderma lucidum is a deep reddish-brown color with circles of wonderful cloud-like patterns on it. It feels like jade and has a mysterious luster under the sunlight. It is obviously the best Ganoderma lucidum.
In addition, there are other rare medicinal herbs.
The Impatiens balsamina, which looks like a phoenix spreading its wings, has strange veins on its leaves, as if blood is flowing through them.
There is also the ice jade lotus, which is snow-white and shaped like a snow lotus but grows in this ordinary mountain forest. It emits bursts of cold fragrance, and the air around it seems to become cooler.
There is also the purple Acorus iris, whose purple flowers are dotted like stars in the night sky, shining with mysterious light. These are rare treasures that are hard to find in the outside world.
Nan Qiao carefully dug up these precious medicinal herbs one by one and gently placed them into the space jade pendant.
Just as she was immersed in the discovery of medicinal herbs, a few cotton plants came into view not far away.
The cotton plant grew very lushly, the cotton bolls were full, and the white cotton wool was about to burst through the skin.
Nan Qiao was a little surprised. Although these cottons were not rare in modern times, they were their treasure for the winter in the Stone Tribe.
If we can find more cotton, or plant it, we won’t have to worry about cotton-padded clothes and quilts in the future!
Before he had time to be happy, Nan Qiao discovered another piece of land, where sweet potato vines were spreading wildly and densely.
Although the sweet potatoes are buried in the soil, the growth of the vines and leaves indicates that the sweet potatoes underground will be abundant!
Nan Qiao walked forward quickly with curiosity, squatted down and began to examine it carefully.
She gently pushed aside the sweet potato vines and dug a few times into the soil to reveal a sweet potato head with a reddish-brown skin and a round shape. Yes, it was really a sweet potato!
She thought to herself, the people of the Stone Tribe seemed to have only eaten meat and fruit. She wondered if they could get used to eating sweet potatoes.
With curiosity and anticipation, Nan Qiao dug up a few sweet potatoes, held them in his arms, and then returned to the tribe.
Back at the tribe, she went straight to the campfire.
All the tribesmen drank the soup. The campfire was left unattended and the fire became smaller, but the surrounding sand was baked warm.
Nan Qiao found a few wooden sticks of suitable thickness and used them to carefully dig a few holes in the sand next to the fire. Then he put the sweet potatoes in one by one and buried them with sand, allowing them to receive the "baptism" of fire in this warm sand pile.
After Kamu finished cooking the soup, he came over and saw Nan Qiao busy by the campfire. His eyes were full of confusion, and he couldn't help asking, "Lord Chosen One, what are you doing?"
Nan Qiao raised the corner of his mouth and smiled mysteriously: "I'm making something delicious."
Kamu scratched his head. Although he didn't quite understand, he knew that Nanqiao could always bring surprises, so he waited patiently on the side.
Before long, the fire gradually died down, leaving only some slightly reddish charcoal.
