Chapter 114: The Peacock Clan
ssed with longevity and beauty secrets. He invited many Taoists from all over to his palace to preach and concoct elixir of immortality, hoping to continue enjoying the wealth and splendor of human li...For the green words, ripples did not doubt. The one behind her took the salt bag, and they left the edge of the peacock tribe's territory again.
Xiang never stopped on his journey, and he returned to the tribe in seven days. He went straight to see the chief, explained the situation, and presented the contents of the wicker basket.
Chief Dan immediately ordered someone to summon the tribe's shaman. Only a shaman could distinguish these things.
Moments later, the witch of the peacock clan arrived. She was a beautiful and alluring female. After hearing Xiang's story and seeing the contents of the basket, she was particularly fond of the peacock-colored hemp cloth.
“If what they say is true, that female should be the so-called Beast God Summoner who has been circulating recently. The shaman of the Bear Clan communicated with me and said... I am now extending an invitation to her, she should be able to sense it. Once she enters our territory, I will be able to sense her more clearly.”
"Alright, then trouble WITCH, invite her and her followers into the tribe."
The chieftain, Dan, immediately said that he valued these fresh foods more.
Witch nodded, stepped out of the tree house, and stood on the platform outside. She mumbled words under her breath, and the surrounding forest rustled in response to her movements, a gentle breeze stirring as if carrying her invitation.
Ripple was watching the mantis bring back a fruit, it was a white fruit the size of a soccer ball, its shell was very hard. Ripple was tapping and hitting it, suddenly the leaves on top of her head rustled.
"It's pretty fast."
Li ripples put down the white fruit in her hand, stood up and said to Meng:
"We are now setting out to enter the peacock clan's territory. Their shaman invited me."
Meng kept silent, a virtue he held dear. He nodded and went to look for Duo and Wei, as well as the warmth who was resting.
After everyone learned they could enter the Peacock clan's territory, they went straight to find Green and slowly walked toward the tribe.
Knowing that Ripples was invited by the witch, Green wasn't surprised at all, and his attitude became even more respectful.
When the ripples traveled along the road, they split open a white fruit. Inside was a fine white powder. After tasting it, Ripples discovered that it was a starch and began to develop this new food on the road.
She first mixed the powder with water, kneading it into a dough. Then she covered the dough with a damp cloth and let it sit for a while. After some time, she gently pressed down on it, making the dough a little puffier. She then had someone finely chop some meat, adding some chopped onions and ginger to season it. Finally, she wrapped the seasoned meat in the dough to make a pot of steamed buns.
After being steamed in the stone pot, the baozi turned into crystal-clear baozi, and you could even see the meat balls inside.
Ripple let him taste it, he took a big bite and swallowed one whole, then after a while he said:
"It's non-toxic and edible."
With a black line on his forehead, he sighed and said:
I'm asking about the taste. Of course I know it's not poisonous, poison wouldn't let you eat it.
Having pieced together the past myself, I popped one into my mouth and only then said:
This translucent skin is very chewy, and the filling inside tastes great. It's suitable for women to eat.
Warmth was the last to try it, she really enjoyed it, eating three in one go and saying that it tasted very good.
He also tried one, and was surprised to find that the pink fruit, which was everywhere in the peafowl's territory, could be eaten like this.
The next day, Lü helped pick some more. This time, Lianyi boiled a pot of spring water and poured the pre-dissolved milky powder fruit juice into the boiling water. Then, she stirred it constantly with a wooden stick until the entire pot of water became thick.
Then, pour the translucent mass from the first pot into another pot filled with cold water. Let it cool gradually. During the cooling process, gently press the surface with your hand every now and then to check its temperature. After two hours, it will be completely solidified.
She took out the solidified crystal powder, cut it into strips, added minced ginger, onion, garlic, and a pinch of chili powder. She splashed hot oil over it, crushed a seasoning fruit, and added a little salt, making a refreshing crystal powder salad. Eating it herself, she found it quite delicious. The warmth and encouragement were both comforting, and the sour and spicy flavor was just to her taste.
The nearby peacock humanoid was even more amazed. This kind of powder fruit is the best preserved, as long as the outer shell of the powder fruit is not broken open, it can be stored for a whole year without changing. When it is opened again next year, the white powder inside will turn slightly yellow.
Peafowl typically rely on these pulp fruits during the cold season when food is scarce. They boil the fruit into a tasteless porridge to sustain themselves until warmer weather allows for hunting again.
Many young ones come this way, and as a result, when they grow up, they develop a strong aversion to these sweet fruits. They will only harvest them if there is nothing else to eat.
Just such a food, in the hands of the Ripple God's envoy, it surprisingly turned out to be something else. Green felt that he didn't even need to see the Witch; he could confirm with absolute certainty that this person was definitely the Beast God's messenger spoken of by the Witch.
When the group arrived at the peacock tribe's settlement, their mouths were already spoiled. They had eaten nothing but meat along the way, steamed, stir-fried, pan-fried, and deep-fried in all sorts of ways. Even the most traditional roasted meat made by the ripple deity tasted better.
Ripples met the leader of the Peacock Clan, Dan, and the beautiful witch. After greeting each other, Ripples explained her purpose and asked the witch to take a look at Wen Nuan's body.
This child was injured before, but after you helped her repair it, she took good care of herself during this time. Now the cubs in her belly are very healthy, and the last month of the harvest season should be able to give birth safely.
Having heard the witch's words, Wen Nuan immediately stepped forward and respectfully bowed in gratitude.
"I'll adjust your medication and have you take it for three more days. You should be fine after that."
Ripple also thanked Wu after hearing this.
Chief Tan couldn't wait to ask about the new food.
Ripple didn't waste words, picking out a few important things to say, and left the rest for Warmth to teach them.
Along the way, warmth watched Lian Ri make these dishes and learned a lot. After her body recovered, she proactively took over the cooking. If she didn't understand something, she would ask Lian Ri for advice. In the Peacock Clan, all she needed to do was speak out the steps and give some appropriate guidance, which was a very easy task.
Wen warmly nodded in agreement and, accompanied by Wei, went to teach the female peacocks how to make the new food.
As for the new way to eat fruit, Green has already told her own females about it. After they successfully try it themselves, they will spread the word.
"Ripple Messenger, what interests me most is this colored linen cloth, and it's even the unique color of our peacock clan's beast forms. We love it very much. Could you please tell us how this was done"
The beautiful witch smiled and asked.
Of course, this was dyed with a kind of stone.
Ripple simply explained the dyeing process, and finally said:
"This hemp fabric is a bit rough. If it were finer, the colors would be more beautiful, and you could dye it in different shades. As for the dyes, they can be extracted from minerals or from vibrant flowers. This is something you'll need to experiment with yourselves." breach of discipline. However, as Captain Zhao Fudou is deceased, his responsibility for negligence will not be pursued.The two black bears were sold, and considering the actual situation of the Red...
