This Is My Primitive Tribe-Chapter 157 - 123 - : Bell Peppers and Black Pearl Beans_2
Chapter 157: 123 Chapter: Bell Peppers and Black Pearl Beans_2
After scraping a bunch of dried colored peppers, Jiang Xuan obtained hundreds of seeds.
He took these seeds to the vegetable garden in the courtyard.
This vegetable garden had been cleaned up long ago, with the stones, roots, bamboo roots, and grass roots nearly all removed.
At the same time, Jiang Xuan had dug up a lot of black fertile soil from the forest and spread a layer on the vegetable garden.
He squatted in the garden, patiently planting dozens of colored pepper seeds one by one, covering them with a thin layer of soil.
As for the remaining colored pepper seeds, following the principle of not putting all eggs in one basket, he would plant them in different fields so that even if one place didn’t work, other places could make up for it.
After all, there were only so many colored pepper seeds, and if something unexpected happened to them all in one place, it would be too late to cry.
After planting them, he patiently covered the garden with a layer of dry grass, which could keep the seeds warm and moist, helping them to sprout and grow faster.
Afterwards, he went to other fields to plant the colored peppers one by one and instructed the planting team warriors to carefully watch over them.
Then he returned to the courtyard and opened the second jar.
This jar contained Black Pearl Beans, about fifty or sixty of them, each as big as a quail egg, round and glossy like black pearls.
Beans are also one of the important crops. Although they cannot serve as staple food, they can provide high-quality protein, which is beneficial to the body when consumed regularly.
The Vine Tribe currently has no crops like beans, so these Black Pearl Beans carry Jiang Xuan’s hope.
He even thought that if the Black Pearl Beans could be successfully cultivated, he would try to find a Stone Artifact Master to create a stone mill, so they could make soy milk and even try to make tofu.
Thinking of the fresh tofu and sweet soy milk, Jiang Xuan couldn’t help but lick his lips, reminiscing about that delicious taste.
He went to the vegetable garden in the courtyard and carefully planted half of the Black Pearl Beans, while the other half were planted in the fertile fields.
After planting the colored peppers and Black Pearl Beans, to prevent Tang Yuan from wreaking havoc, Jiang Xuan erected a tall fence, enclosing the garden.
After closing the gate, Jiang Xuan nodded with satisfaction, saying, "It’s much safer this way."
"Chirp..."
Just then, Tang Yuan, who had gone out hunting, flew back to the courtyard.
On its claws, it had captured a giant python!
The giant python was as thick as a small bucket, seven to eight meters long, with complex patterns on its body, but its head had been pecked to a pulp by Tang Yuan.
"You really have a knack for catching snakes."
Jiang Xuan looked at the giant python, a little amused and exasperated.
Tang Yuan had grown larger and taller than Jiang Xuan, with a wingspan of eight meters. If not for the large bamboo shelter, it probably wouldn’t fit anymore.
But its habit of catching and eating snakes hadn’t changed at all.
"Chirp..."
Tang Yuan picked up the giant python and placed it in front of Jiang Xuan, pecking at the middle.
"Giving me half?" Jiang Xuan asked.
Tang Yuan nodded. This creature was smarter than expected and could understand many human words.
"Okay, thank you, Tang Yuan."
Jiang Xuan took out a sharp Stone Knife and skinned the giant python whole.
Snake skin is a great material for the tribe, useful for making real "Snake Skin Bags" and clothing.
Then he cleaned out the python’s entrails, took out a Stone Axe, and chopped the giant python in half, one half for Tang Yuan to eat, and the other for himself.
As for the entrails, Jiang Xuan buried them in the garden, which could serve as fertilizer once they decomposed.
Tang Yuan picked up half of the cleaned python meat and waddled into the bamboo shelter, crouching in its nest to peck at the food.
Jiang Xuan washed the other half of the python meat, chopped a section, and tossed it into a Pottery Cauldron, adding some spices and salt to slowly stew it. The rest he hung over the fire pit to roast slowly.
Both stewing and roasting offer different flavors, and Jiang Xuan enjoyed both.
After eating and drinking his fill, Jiang Xuan discovered several mushrooms growing on a decaying piece of wood in the corner of the courtyard.
Jiang Xuan murmured to himself, "It’s mushroom season. That Mushroom Forest should have grown quite a few Magic Mushrooms by now, right?"
He considered making another trip to the Mountain Turtle Tribe to trade for some Magic Mushrooms to enhance the Tribal Warriors’ strength.
No sooner said than done, Jiang Xuan immediately went to find Chi Shao and shared his idea.
Chi Shao said, "Trading for some mushrooms is good, but be careful. We don’t know where the Crow Tribe is now, and I’m worried they might still target the Vine Tribe."
Jiang Xuan replied, "We won’t go through the forest. I’ll just take a few people and borrow a giant eagle from the Old Witch to fly over. It won’t be dangerous."
Chi Shao nodded and said, "That’s good too. With the Vine God watching over us, you can go without worry."
"Alright, we’ll pack up and go tomorrow."
Just as Jiang Xuan was about to leave, Chi Shao suddenly called out to him.
"Xuan, wait."
"Is there something else?"
Chi Shao hurried into the house and took out several small pottery jars with wooden stoppers, placing them in Jiang Xuan’s hands.
"These are Healing Medicines made from magic plants. Take them with you and be careful on the road."
Looking at the small pottery jars, Jiang Xuan felt Chi Shao’s concern, and he was silently moved. This sister was really good to him.
"Alright, thanks, sis. I’ll be careful."
Jiang Xuan put the small jars into his Beast Hide Bag and left Chi Shao’s courtyard.
