Chapter 236 Steamed Buns
The two females separated. Xiaoyu saw the strange female talking to Lu Xiaoxiao, so she walked up to Ling and said hello. Ling didn't feel any closeness to her. She looked at Lu Xiaoxiao and left with Shanyang.
In later generations, this may be considered impolite, or it may be considered that the person is unkind, but it is still very normal now. If you don’t like someone, just don’t talk to him.
"What a strange female, Xiaoxiao, how do you know her?" Xiaoyu was not annoyed, but just felt that the other party was weird.
"I've seen it before." Lu Xiaoxiao smiled.
"Oh~ But she is dressed well, and you can see that her male treats her well." Xiaoyu said with a smile.
"That's her mate, of course."
Several tribes moved forward together. Lu Xiaoxiao was unfamiliar with the names of the nearby tribes. She had never even heard of some of the pronunciations. She had to rely on Yuchuan to explain them occasionally. Xiaoyu and Yangbai, who were listening on the side, were fascinated.
Heiyu occasionally interacts with other tribes. She would assist her father and elders in exchanging with neighboring tribes, or provide some conveniences. She would also occasionally help Yuchuan replenish his supplies. Yangbai and Xiaoyu looked at her with a little more admiration in their eyes.
As the old saying goes, females don’t go out often and are full of curiosity about the outside world.
Lu Xiaoxiao treated all this as gossip. Yuchuan really didn't have much talent in storytelling, and all he said were comments like "the tribe is not strong" and "the orcs are not strong", and occasionally he would mention what good food there was.
Even so, the females still listened with great interest.
Nanshan and Chiran were in the front, the two were whispering to each other and no one knew what they were talking about. Chiran was not in a good mood and was wagging his tail in a disjointed manner.
Others were traveling in human or animal form, but he was the only one on the road transformed into a half-beast, standing much taller than others.
"Your female isn't coming?"
"They don't participate in the big celebrations in this area." Chi Ran has already made up his mind that next time they have a big celebration, he must actively participate, so that Yun Shan will look at him more.
She will know that others are far worse than him.
"Oh, otherwise you can ask Lu Xiaoxiao to help you. She is smart and can think things through." Nanshan has a high degree of trust in Lu Xiaoxiao. In his opinion, Lu Xiaoxiao has made an indispensable contribution to the comfortable time the tribe has now.
Chi Ran thought for a moment and asked, "But she can't go to the tribe over there with me."
Kidnapping might not work. Lu Xiaoxiao is smart and not afraid of being scared. It would be bad if he causes trouble.
Seriously speaking, Yuchuan would definitely not allow it, so this idea is not feasible.
"You have to talk to Lu Xiaoxiao nicely. If she's interested, she'll definitely be willing to help you." Nanshan was very open-minded. After all, he was a man who won people over with virtue. "By the way, I helped you fill in some stuff. You have to pay me back."
Chi Ran's face turned dark, and the spirit on his charming face dropped sharply. He stared with dead fish eyes: "What? Can't hear you." Then he slipped away with his tail wagging.
Nanshan's eyes twitched slightly, and his mouth curled up: "Hmph. Male!"
Everyone walked together, and when it was time to eat and replenish energy, the tribes were invisibly separated from each other. The Black Feather Tribe prepared steamed buns and cakes, which could be kept for a while on the road. If it was buns, they had stuffing inside and had to be eaten as soon as possible.
Their trip would take nearly ten days, and the buns would easily go bad, and they didn't want anyone to find out how such food was made.
It is hard to say what will happen in the future, but at least they will not reveal it within the next ten years. After all, they have paid a huge price.
"Drink some water." Ao Yue came over and gave each female a glass of water, asking them to eat the steamed buns with water to avoid choking.
The steamed buns with a little sugar added are delicious and soft in texture. Females can bite them easily and they taste better than porridge.
After drinking the soup, I always want to find a bush to relieve myself. This steamed bun is a great choice. It is very filling and really fills me up.
"What are you eating?" Ling came over curiously. She had never seen such a yellow thing before. It looked like a fruit.
"Food from our tribe." Lu Xiaoxiao replied.
"Can you exchange with me? I'll use this." Ling took out their food, which was a palm-sized piece of raw meat, covered in blood.
Yuchuan frowned. Xiaoxiao didn't like eating raw meat, so this price was not appropriate at all.
Lu Xiaoxiao shook her head: "I don't like eating raw meat, so I won't change it."
Ling was not disappointed by her refusal. She nodded and looked at the steamed bun. Her partner soon appeared with other things.
Hearing his partner say that he wanted to exchange the food, as a male, he should think of a way. He looked at Yuchuan and said, "What do you need? I want to exchange with you."
"Besides raw meat, what else can you exchange?" Yuchuan looked at the bag in his hand, which should contain some other good things.
"Take a look and see if there's anything you like." Shanyang walked up, showed the bag to Lu Xiaoxiao, and let her choose whatever she wanted.
"Let me see."
The bundles contained mostly dried meat, mixed with some other foods, such as fruits and nuts. The nearby tribes all belonged to the same area and had similar types of food.
It was just the fruits that Lu Xiaoxiao liked very much. They were some small tomatoes, and looked a bit like the Millennium Fruit of later generations.
"This? Let me give you a try. It's not poisonous." Shanyang accurately caught Lu Xiaoxiao's gaze and handed one to Yuchuan for confirmation.
Yuchuan had eaten it many times in the forest. He took it, sniffed it, wiped it clean and gave it to Lu Xiaoxiao.
The juice bursts out in one bite, and the flavor is indeed the unique taste of the tomato itself, but the taste is still the most original version. Some of the unripe ones are so sour that it makes people frown, while the ripe ones are sweet and sour.
It is very suitable for making tomato egg drop soup, and it is also okay for making scrambled eggs with tomatoes. I will keep it and go back to see if I can grow it.
There were not many tomatoes, so Lu Xiaoxiao broke off half a steamed bun. Ling was very happy. She took the bun and tasted it. After eating it, her eyes lit up and she seemed surprised that it was so soft.
"Yang, try it." She gave a bite to Shanyang, and Shanyang's eyes were filled with emotion.
"I'm not hungry, you eat."
Ling forced him to take a bite. He chewed it so much that he was reluctant to swallow it immediately. He savored it carefully, as if he was holding a candy in his mouth.
Very delicious food. Ling looked at Lu Xiaoxiao enviously and ate all the rest.
Lu Xiaoxiao cleaned a few tomatoes and ate them as after-meal fruit. Except that they were a little sour, everything was fine.
