Chapter 1818: Chapter 1818: Also Called Peanuts

Moreover, in any world, being ahead in thinking is particularly valuable.

“What kinds of seeds do you all have?” This question was directed by Xue Ganggang to Bai Xing.

Bai Xing first had Little Yu carry the stone hoe to remove weeds again before saying, “We just picked anything that seemed like seeds, treated all as wild things since they were all from the wild. I really can’t say exactly what they are. How about I take you to the cave in the tribe where we store those seeds? Maybe you’ll recognize them.”

“Okay,” Xue Ganggang had no objections.

Then, Bai Xing carried Xue Ganggang back to the tribe the same way they came.

They went to the cave in the tribe specifically designated for storing seeds.

...

Calling it a cave is more like saying it’s a stone cave; even the floor was paved with thick stones.

The seeds were stored in bags sewn from beast skins. Some bags were large, others small. There were many bags, each filled with a different kind of seed. The cave was almost full, clearly showing that Bai Xing was serious about this. He must have assigned numerous Beastmen to this task. Perhaps it was not only carried out within his own territory but also in other places, as it would not be possible to collect so many different types of seeds otherwise.

The beast skin bags were marked with numerous symbols. Although Xue Ganggang didn’t recognize them, she knew they must record when these seeds germinate in the wild, what environments they thrive in, and so forth.

This way, they could roughly figure out when to sow them.

Bai Xing set Xue Ganggang at the entrance of the cave, “You stand here; I’ll bring them out one bag at a time and open them for you to see.”

There were so many things piled inside that it wasn’t feasible to open them there. They had to be brought out.

“Hmm.”

Though Xue Ganggang agreed, Bai Xing didn’t rush into the cave to fetch them. Instead, he brought a tall stone bench, hollowed out in the middle like a stone lock, and placed it at the entrance so Xue Ganggang could sit.

Xue Ganggang had sprained her foot; naturally, it was best not to stand. She didn’t force herself, thanked him, and then truly sat down.

Bai Xing then went inside the cave and came out carrying a beast skin bag in each hand.

One beast skin bag was a bit larger, about half the height of a person, while the other was smaller, reaching only up to Bai Xing’s calf. Bai Xing bent down and opened both, “Do you want to take a look at these two? Recognize them?”

Xue Ganggang pulled the mouth of the bag open and after a glance, she paused for two seconds before speaking with some mixed feelings, “The big bag contains peanuts, the small one contains rapeseeds.”

She hadn’t expected to encounter these two items so suddenly.

Bai Xing smiled, “So they are called peanuts and rapeseeds.”

Xue Ganggang simply asked, “These two, how do you eat them?”

Bai Xing said, “Peanuts are eaten after shelling, just eating the stuff inside. We can also boil them in water. Sometimes in the wild, when we see peanuts just starting to sprout, we eat the sprout. That sprout grows out from the stuff inside, and we figured that meant the stuff inside must be the seed.”

Xue Ganggang nodded, “It is the seed, and you can also call it a peanut kernel. Dry them, and when the right month comes, you can plant them.”

Bai Xing also nodded, then continued, “We eat the leaves of rapeseeds directly. When they are young, the leaves are quite good, but when they grow older, they don’t taste as good. At that time, the Beastmen watched them until they flowered, later they developed pods and turned gray, with small grains inside, which seemed like seeds. We collected them from all over, and this year we plan to plant them to see how it goes.”
