Vol 1 Chapter 9 (1/2)

I have alanted to copy the main character in [Robinson Crusoe], who, in the later partsof the story, reared livestocks and farmed crops

But reading so were, in reality, two cos

Those of you who had practiced agriculture before should be very aware of this: tending to a land is no walk in a park

For exa down a few trees would take a few hours One would still need to plow the land, calculate the area of the land, and also research the suitability of the plants for the region

For five days, ere searching for crops that would not only be able to cultivate here, but also easy to grow and quick to mature And, most importantly, it has to be edible

Now that I think about it, I am really kind of i I have encountered so far

The first plant that I felt was edible was so that looked like a Mimosa plant it didn’t taste too bitter, and there were a lot of it nearby However, it had two rather severe drawbacks: firstly, on the back of the leaves were these weird white hairs; secondly, the stem was too hard to chew The first caused ive up

The second plant I tried was a plant with very large leaves and was quite similar to the pakchoi plant t, but was very bitter Most of its bitter taste was concentrated at its leaves, the steh it was somewhat edible I’ll consider it as an alternative for now

We’re still in the process of searching for a third type……

“Could it be that there is not a single tasty plant in this forest?”

I sighed as I laid ainst the animal pelt behind me

As I haven’t eaten any vegetables for a while, my breath smelled awful After all, there was also no way for me to brush my teeth

“Plop”

So was thrown at my body

“Back?”

“Yes This thing, should be edible”

Medusa, as holding a girabbit by its neck in one hand, said that while looking down at me

I held it up and examined it From the looks of it, it was a carrot sized plant that looked like a miniature version of a yamThere were lots of leaves and its cylindrical roots were likely to have substantial nutritional value

“Girabbit was eating , so I brought back”

Indeed Upon exairabbit’s saliva could be seen……

The roots of this thing could be eaten right? Or would I have to eat the leaves like a girabbit?

All in all, I should decide after tasting it Carrying on the “Tiger” traits of North Eastern Chinese, I bit into its roots without any hesitation

Crunch!

The crunchy “kacha” sensations travelled from my teeth to the auditory nerves in my ears

It was unexpectedly good——what I actually meant was that it does not taste weird

Judging from the starchy taste inIf I can cultivate this, it could become a decent crop

The reason I put a lot of thought into the cultivation of food was because I was under the impression that there was no way for iven a chance to return, to reunite with my family and friends, I would still return at all costs

At least, that’s what I thought back then

It’s always best to prepare for the worst in everything If I really can’t go back to my oorld, then I would have to live here For a hu of the world, and, with a Medusa who led a very different lifestyle than to humans, the most we could achieve was the life of where “the male tends to crops and the female hunts¹

Weourselves war ways to stay dry when it rains; and, should a day come when one of us falls sick , ould need to kno to care for each other

Every tiht about that, I felt so powerless After all, the reason why I am clothed and fed was all thanks to her

If there really was a chance, I’ about those one in aher back with ed, I would take her to the best restaurant, to have the best meal I would take her to the best cinema to watch a ht
