Extraterrestrial Couple: Traveling Through the World of Beasts

Chapter 20 Back Mountain-Wild Vegetables

"Hanchen, do you think this plant looks familiar to you? What is it called? Haha. We have vegetables to eat this time."

Mo Hanchen looked at the plant she pointed at, then shook his head and said, "It's a bit familiar, but how do I know what it's called?"

"How could you not know?"

"It's not like you don't know that except for vegetables that are easy to recognize like potatoes, cabbage, and peppers, I'm vague about other vegetables, let alone wild vegetables."

"This is a dandelion, haven't you seen its flowers? You said you are still a wood-type psychic who is close to plants. Why can't you remember what they look like?"

Lu Yanran took out her knife to harvest the huge dandelion, then picked up a bud and stretched it out in front of Mo Hanchen and shook it.

Mo Hanchen: If the buds turned into flowers, he would definitely recognize them.

Lu Yanran picked out a few old pieces and threw them aside. She took the remaining pieces and weighed them in her hands. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "Good guy, a dandelion weighs at least five kilograms."

"Dandelions can be eaten cold, but if there are too many stems at the bottom, just eat the leaves." Mo Hanchen said, pointing to the thick stems.

"Don't waste it. This can be made into pickles. It's quite tender." Lu Yanran picked up one and broke it with two claws. It was tender and crisp.

She took a pair of scissors and made a cut on the purple fruit's leaf, then brought it to her nose to smell it.

Mo Hanchen glanced at her suspiciously and took a step closer to the purple fruit again. Sure enough, the smell was stronger. He stretched out his front paws in front of the purple fruit. A faint green light came out from the paws and slowly spread to the purple fruit.

Lu Yanran cut off more than a dozen nearby plants and called to Mo Hanchen who didn't know what to do. "Hanchen, pick out the old and frail ones and throw them away, and then pile up the good ones."

Together, I'll put it away later."

Lu Yanran gave him the scissors and turned to collect the dandelion vegetables. When she came back, she walked to another garlic plant and took out a glue bucket. She only had one pair of scissors, so she cut it with a dagger.

The small purple fruit is about the size of a normal walnut. There is juice flowing out of the broken skin, so it cannot be dropped.

"Bring me a towel."

With abundant water supply, the chrysanthemum here grows strong and tender.

The two of them didn't stop until they had harvested all the ripe garlic fruits by the pond. They picked four buckets in total. The buckets were not enough, so she had no choice but to free up a storage box and filled most of the boxes.

"Not poisonous."

Lu Yanran took out the scissors and cut off the leaves of chrysanthemum. She didn't like this dish very much, but it was okay to eat it once in a while, so she stopped without taking much.

Mo Hanchen put away the dandelion vegetables, walked over, and saw Yanran studying the small purple fruit in front of her.

"You said you weren't stupid before. Why are you here, a different species, and why can't your brain work so well?"

"Hanchen, come here and see if this is poisonous?" If it's not poisonous, you can take it back and use it as a condiment.

Lu Yanran stood there and turned 360 degrees, and finally saw a plant with small purple fruits next to the chrysanthemum, and the onion smell came from a plant that was not given by the scissors in her hand.

Be careful of the purple fruit with broken skin.

Those unripe garlic fruits that are green will take at least ten days to mature.

The garlic fruit has a strong garlic flavor and is of good quality. You can put half a garlic into a pot of soup to get the flavor. The ones in the space are enough for the two of them for half a year.

His expression was serious. After half a minute, the green light on his paws disappeared, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

When I smelled it hard, I found that apart from the smell of the plant itself, there was no smell of garlic at all.

Dandelions rely on wind to spread their seeds, so there are many dandelion plants around here.

"Okay, okay." Lu Yanran felt that she was almost done and immediately shouted to stop.

After he finished speaking, there was a glue bucket in front of him, and a pair of scissors appeared on his claws, "From now on, it will be called garlic fruit."

Mo Hanchen manipulated the branches to take the towel, then stretched it into the puddle. After the towel was half wet, he took the towel back, picked up the towel with his furry paws, and carefully wiped Lu Yanran's eyes gently.

Mo Hanchen took two steps closer, and the aroma of garlic entered the tip of his nose. He looked around and found no familiar plants at all. "Why did I smell the aroma of garlic? But there was no trace of garlic nearby.

?”

During this period, she smelled garlic. Where was the garlic?

"Come and smell this." Lu Yanran pointed to the small purple fruit with broken skin and said mysteriously.

A stronger smell of garlic came out, and Lu Yanran was unprepared for it. She was hit in the face and couldn't open her eyes. She hurried away from the scene of the incident.

So it doesn’t matter whether you pick the immature garlic fruits or not.

Lu Yanran knew what Mo Hanchen wanted to do, and with a thought, one of her towels appeared on the beast's claws.

The garlic fruits were scurrying around, and there were eight to twelve garlic berries in each swarm. When she cut them with the scissors, they were scurrying around.

Lu Yanran took the towel with a smile and put it into the space. She didn't forget to retort, "I'm not stupid, I'm excited."

"I'll cut them, and you go and collect those dandelions." If you don't collect them, they will be burned by the sun.

After saying that, she walked to another plant, pinched a leaf and brought it to her nose to smell it. It was indeed chrysanthemum. Its appearance was somewhat different from the chrysanthemum she had seen before, but the pungent smell made her sure.

The plant in front of me is chrysanthemum.

Lu Yanran hurriedly picked one off, picked up two clean pebbles, one large and one small, on the ground, placed the purple fruit on the larger pebble, and then used the pebbles to crush the purple fruit.

Mo Hanchen next to him saw that she was cutting carefully, so he went to do what he had not finished. When he sorted out all the dandelions, arranged them all together, and asked Lu Yanran to put them away, the plastic bucket in front of her was already there.

It's almost full.

"You don't want to eat it, do you?" Is it some kind of fruit?

Lu Yanran chuckled and said, "If it's not poisonous, I really want to eat it. Come on, come on, use your powers to check." After saying that, he gave way.

Later, Lu Yanran found two kinds of wild vegetables by the pond. Whether they were fried or eaten cold, they were both very good for rice, but there was not much rice at home.

Even so, the two of them still picked all the two kinds of wild vegetables they found by the pond. They were worried that after this season, they would be old or have nothing to eat, which would be sad.

"It's getting dark, let's go back." Compared with the front, the back mountain is relatively dangerous.

Lu Yanran took out the ingredients for the night and washed them in the pool water before the two of them quickly flew to the cave.
