Chapter 615: Chapter 618: Soybeans
Xi’en seemed to have another thought, paused a little, and then said, "But don’t eat too much of it, or else your stomach might feel uncomfortable."
Su Tang’s eyes gleamed, "What do you call this? Where does it grow? Can you take me there to see it?"
Yellow soybeans, oh yellow soybeans! 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑝𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
As long as she could take a little bit back, she could grow a whole field of them. Her Peach Blossom Tribe’s menu would then have several more delicious dishes!
And surprisingly, there are even cows here, making her incredibly envious. What a heavenly place this is!
If it wasn’t for the fact that they had already settled down in Peach Blossom, Su Tang would really want her tribe to relocate here to the Xixili Flatland. The environment here is not bad at all compared to Peach Blossom, not to mention the defense system is several levels higher.
Su Tang was increasingly satisfied the more she saw.
Xi’en smiled gently, "This is a Hard-Fruit, which can be found in abundance in our tribe. But it’s already late. If you like, I can take you for a walk in the vicinity tomorrow morning. Our Ming Deer clan also has a kind of white flower that is very pretty."
Su Tang nodded quickly, "Okay, then thanks a lot!"
Xi’en, still appearing unruffled, gave a faint smile and said, "It’s what I should do. It’s getting late, so rest early after you have eaten. I’ll come and find you tomorrow."
After saying his piece, Xi’en led the female Beastmen away from the cave.
Qiu Mo picked up the stone bowl in front of her. She carefully held it up to her nose to sniff the beans inside, which had been boiled almost to the point of mush, but were still barely retaining their original shape.
She slightly furrowed her brows, looking at Su Tang, "Tangtang, it doesn’t really smell like anything. Would it taste good?"
Su Tang shook her head, "It won’t taste good. This is called yellow soybean, it’s not meant to be eaten this way. It needs to be ground into powder, then processed into things like tofu, dried tofu, tofu skin, etc. Juice squeezed from them can also be boiled into soy milk, add some cane sugar or honey, the taste would be really good!"
Qiu Mo was puzzled, she blankly nodded, "Tangtang, you know so much ~"
Su Tang silently smiled, "Let’s eat! Although it’s not very tasty, at least we can fill our stomachs."
Qiu Mo nodded, picked up a red fruit and started to eat heartily.
The female Beastmen from the Ming Deer clan usually eat fruits; they eat meat only occasionally.
Given the sudden visit by Gaiyin and his party, the female Ming Deer did not have enough time to prepare, so they only brought fruits.
These things, although they look like a lot, they were hardly enough to satisfy Gaiyin and his party’s hunger. Luckily, Su Tang had prepared a lot of meat in her space, otherwise the group, exhausted after a day’s travel, might have gone without a substantial meal.
The System Pup had also been staying inside Su Tang’s space, ever since she stealthily took him away from Peach Blossom. Without Gaiya’s companionship, it didn’t want to come out.
The Pup said, the time in the space flows at a rate about ten times slower than the outside world, meaning if it spends a day in the space, ten days would pass in the outside world.
So, if it stays in the space for a few days, it wouldn’t be too long before it could go back, right?
Su Tang thought the Pup made a good point, and let it do as it pleased. After all, it wouldn’t starve in that space, there’s plenty to eat and drink, and the magical trash can can solve its hygiene problems. If the Pup wants to stay there, then it can stay.
Otherwise, with its erratic nature, who knows what kind of trouble it might cause? So, it’s best for it to stay in the space.
.......
After everyone had their fill, they lay down to rest on the Beast Skin beds in the cave.
Having worked hard all day, they quickly drifted off into sleep.
