357 evidence (1/2)

We were able to finish plowing the field in no time. Even though there was one person who was not used to it, it was the work of three strong people, and the area was not so large.

So, we decided to join in the sowing. Strictly speaking, we are planting seed potatoes on the ground we have just plowed.

It's not difficult in terms of what we have to do, but we have to do a lot of it.

The potatoes are thrown out of the burlap bag, and we cut them one by one as we plant. As we were planting, Anne picked up one of the potatoes and casually said to me.

”Can't we just eat this potato?

Because it has sprouts. ....... If you remove the sprouts and the skin is green, you can eat it. It's poisonous.

”What?

Don't do it, just in case.

I will.

If it's the same as the potato I know, it's mainly the buds and skin that are highly toxic.

It looks okay when you cut it, but there is a possibility that it is inedible, so it's better not to eat it.

Helen, who had been listening to the conversation between me and Anne, said to me while planting the potatoes.

”Oh, that's why some people ate potatoes and had stomach problems?

If you eat a lot of potatoes while they're poisonous, you'll die if you're not careful.

Is that so?

Yeah. Helen, if you ever go back to mercenary work, be careful.

Okay. I will.

I told her to be careful, but if Helen goes back to mercenary work, it will be on the battlefield. You can't always have enough supplies.

There will be times when you have to eat this or you will die anyway. In such cases, you cannot stop yourself from eating.

But even if it is only a stomachache, I hope you will avoid what you can avoid.

Thanks to the efforts of a total of seven people plus two supporters (not to mention Krull and Lucy), the sowing was finished by nightfall, and the soil had absorbed water and lost its brightness.

If the animals don't come here, we don't need a fence.

”Well, yes. In the village, we built them.

The other thing to watch out for is humans (including beastmen, dwarves, elves, and giants), but it would not make much sense to deal with them.

I don't think there are many people who would come all the way to a remote place like this to try to get a crop from a not-so-great field. .......

Although they grow all year round, they don't grow to the point where you can just plant them and say, ”They'll be ready tonight. I'd be hesitant to eat it if I did.

I thought about expanding the menu in the future, and started to prepare dinner for today.

The next day, I started working on the delivery again. Today it's knives. After going through the morning routine, I put the sheet metal in the fireplace to heat it up.

Oh, by the way, I haven't finished Anne's yet. ......

I muttered to myself as I watched the sheet metal slowly heat up and turn red.

”Do you want to make one?

”It's a sign of family. There's nothing to say you can't have one.

I'll watch.

Yeah.

Not as much time has passed since Rike came to our house as I thought. Even so, she had absorbed a lot of techniques and her skills had become quite good.

Still, in her opinion, ”I'm not good enough yet. My skills also still rely on cheats, and it's frustrating that I can't teach her efficiently, but I'm getting by with this apprenticeship.

All of my family members have custom-made knives from Eizo Kobo.

The sharpness is too great, but it is for daily use, for self-defense, and as a proof of family.

On the other hand, knives of this level are not sold on the market. It is not because of the leakage of technology, but simply because it is dangerous.

Therefore, there are not many opportunities to make custom-made knives. Not wanting to miss out on such a rare opportunity, Rike looked into the fireplace with me.
