Chapter 37: Digging for Wild Vegetables
"Really? That's great, I'll treat you to something delicious when I get back. ”
Delicious?
Xu Xiaoxi didn't expect such a big surprise just by promising to give dawn an old back basket, which reminded her of the candy and twist flowers she ate before.
She subconsciously wiped her mouth, for fear that there would be a humiliation if there was a hara, "Wow! I'm giving you a basket because I treat you as a friend, and besides, that little basket is not worth anything at all, and it's not easy for you to bring something from afar, so you should keep it and eat it slowly! ”
Seeing that she was obviously moved but reluctantly refused, Dawn had a better impression of her.
A girl who is rare and transparent and has good intentions always wants to be more likable.
Her eyes were shining, "You also said that we are friends, since friends can help each other, then sharing is also due, although I don't bring many things, but you can still do it." ”
Dawn gives something because she doesn't like to owe someone something, even if it's a small thing.
She always believes that no one likes to pay for free, and there is a better way to live in the world.
However, she still knows the truth of her guilt, so she will never expose herself.
"Hmm~~ Oh well!" Xu Xiaoxi didn't know if he was moved by Dawn's words or if he really couldn't stand the temptation of food, but he hesitated for a moment and simply accepted it.
When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but teach Dawn Dundun with a straight face, "You tell me that it's okay, you can't meet other people like this, although most of the people in the village are good, but there are also many people who are super thick-skinned and love to take advantage of small advantages, knowing that you are so generous, they will definitely look for you every day." ”
The meaning of these words, dawn said that she understood, although she was not very old, most of them orcs had an intuition to automatically identify slag.
Unless you meet someone like a fox beast who has many eyes and will hide himself like a sieve, you will basically not be deceived.
She didn't even give the three educated youths in a dormitory, not to mention the other two, Xue Mei is the one with the best senses, didn't she give it.
It can be seen that the eye margin is also very important.
It's just that she didn't expect to make the first female friend in her life so soon, she was still a human, you must know that she didn't make a friend in the fourteenth year of the beast world.
Of course, Dawn knew that the lack of friends was not due to her character, but because of her body, which made those females who worshiped power not very fond of socializing with her.
Sometimes the friendship between people always comes so simple and direct, but two contacts, a little material collision, in the heart of the other party is a person to befriend.
With the water to quench your thirst in a hat for the sun, and Xu Xiaoxi who can chat for two cents, a noon passed quickly.
Xu Xiaoxi asked Xiaoxiao to wait for her at the door of the Zhiqing Point, and she went home and took the basket to meet her.
Dawn didn't rush back today, but waited for his eldest brother to come along, and by the way, he told him that he was going to dig wild vegetables with his friends.
"Xiaoxiao is so powerful, and you have friends after two days here?" Jiang Chaoyang was surprised at first, and smiled when he looked at his sister's somewhat smug little expression.
"Okay, you guys go, it just so happens that I'm going to collect firewood with your big brother Qingshan." As he spoke, he looked at Liu Xiaohai again, "It's okay for you to cook by yourself, right?" ”
Liu Xiaohai shook his head, "It's okay, just go and remember to come back for dinner." ”
The group said that they would quickly go back to the Zhiqing Point, and at dawn they went back to the house and took a few biscuits and put them in their pockets, and said hello to Xue Mei by the way, "Sister Xue Mei, I have to dig wild vegetables at noon, and I won't have time to make clothes until night." ”
"Okay! Clothes can be made at any time. After Xue Mei replied to the words of dawn, she continued to ask, "Can you dig up wild vegetables in the back mountain?" ”
"Yes, I asked, although the back mountain is public, it is completely allowed to dig up some wild vegetables."
"Okay! Then I got it. Saying that, Xue Mei smiled gratefully at dawn.
Dawn waved his hand indifferently and walked out quickly.
"Tiny!"
Xu Xiaoxi, who was far away, greeted the dawn, and she ran over with two back baskets.
He didn't care about talking, so he first handed the small basket to Dawn, and then stuffed a few white grass roots into Dawn's hand.
Facing the puzzled gaze of dawn, he smiled, "We don't have anything delicious here now, this is the sweet root that my brother made, although it is not as delicious as what you gave me, but it is not bad, you should try it." ”
As she spoke, she put the remaining two sticks in her mouth and chewed them with relish.
Seeing that she ate so deliciously, she couldn't help but take a tentative bite, the entrance was a little crispy and sweet, and the most was the unique taste of grass.
Dawn, who was expressionless and chewing on the grass roots, burst into tears in her heart, although she was an omnivorous orc, she really didn't like to eat grass!
Unexpectedly, when she came here, she not only had to dig grass but also eat grass, and there was probably no worse female than her in the entire beast world.
Then Dawn found that she didn't just break down, and there was a big problem before digging or eating grass, which was to identify which grasses could be eaten.
At this time, Dawn stood on a winding and steep path halfway up the mountainside, like a cats with feelings and listened to Xu Xiaoxi's gushing.
Why do the names of these wild vegetables become more and more strange the more she listens, mother-in-law, bracken, wild celery, willow artemisia sprouts, and koji hemp can still be heard, but monkey leg vegetables, cat's paw vegetables, what are they?
That thin, curly monkey leg dish can also be thought of as if it looked like a monkey's tail, but how did that cat's paw dish get its name?
Dawn almost couldn't help but turn her hands into claws and compare herself to it.
Fortunately, she is not an ordinary meow, and she resisted that curiosity.
made a look of listening carefully, and had already decided in her heart that for Xu Xiaoxi's seriousness, even if there was another fox ear dish, she would not be surprised by the pig's mouth dish.
"Mother-in-law Ding and eleuthero can be mixed cold or dried to make tea, and adding some honey is definitely the best tea for hospitality." Speaking of this, Xu Xiaoxi was a little embarrassed, "Of course, I haven't drunk honey, this is all from my grandmother." ”
After taking two steps forward, Xu Xiaoxi stopped in front of a small tree, "This kind of thorny shoots that grow on the tree are delicious cold salad or dipping in sauce." ”
After speaking, Xu Xiaoxi beckoned to Dawn Action, "Let's hurry up, otherwise it will be bad if someone else finds out." ”
Hearing Xu Xiaoxi's urging, Xiao Xiao hurriedly retracted her scattered thoughts and began to pick the food in her mouth.
Next, Dawn became a competent student and memorized the names and eating methods of many wild vegetables introduced by Xu Xiaoxi in his mind.
Coupled with the fact that her natural sense of smell is a hundred times stronger than that of humans, even if she can't remember these strange names, she can't be wrong just smelling them.
In this way, walking and stopping, the two of them were half full of back baskets, seeing that the time was almost up, they changed the way and turned back, just at this moment, Xu Xiaoxi's stomach made a "gurgling" sound, and dawn realized that she had forgotten the biscuits she promised Xu Xiaoxi.
