She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 749: [737] Beast World Farming 47 (1 update)

Tangyuan and Jin Han would stop and take a look whenever they passed by a lush and verdant area, especially at the plants they had never seen or touched before.

In the second month of the rainy season, basically all the plants had bloomed. Coming out at this time might not yield as much as the fruitful autumn before the Cold Season, but she hadn’t lost hope. As expected, she wasn’t disappointed; she discovered peanut and sesame seedlings. Although they were only as tall as her calves, she could still identify them at a glance. It was just a pity that these were growing among the grasses, and she would need to collect the seeds after the rainy season had ended.

She bent down, carefully collecting around twenty seedlings with their soil and roots into her space, planning to find a spot at home to plant them. Even if she didn’t have time to come back in the future, at the very least, she had saved some seeds.

As they continued, they passed a large patch of grassland blooming with yellow flowers. Initially, Jin Han thought she intended to pick fresh flowers, but he then saw the little female pop the flowers into her mouth.

He smacked his lips, "What are you doing?"

After carefully tasting it, her eyes shone brightly as she looked back at him.

"These are rapeseed flowers; they really are rapeseed flowers! Do you know what this means?"

Excited, she danced in her cotton dress amid the yellow ocean. The beauty of that moment had even caught Brother Eagle off guard.

She could finally stop eating animal fats; how could she not be thrilled?

Although animal fats had their benefits, Tangyuan, who was accustomed to eating plant oils, still missed the flavors of the past.

So that noon, she set up her stove amidst the vast expanse of blossoms.

She started a fire, heated oil, added scallion, ginger, garlic, and chili pieces, slices of cured meat and mushrooms, and after a crackling stir-fry, poured in water. Once the pot boiled, she added sweet potato glass noodles. After they cooked, she tossed in a big handful of rapeseed flowers into the soup, then poured in starch-water, sprinkled crushed coriander on top, and finally added the pre-fried radish meatballs, a little rice vinegar, and chili oil—voila, a simplified version of sour soup with meatballs and glass noodles was ready.

Anyway, her philosophy was to use whatever she saw; there was no specific pattern. Cooking was all about what tasted good, and since there were meatballs and glass noodles, chili, and vinegar in the soup, the resulting flavor was sour, spicy, and satisfying, not to mention filling.

Jin Han really liked it, "This flavor with the fresh flowers has a special fragrant scent; it’s delicious. You certainly don’t miss any opportunity to utilize edible resources!"

"That’s right, this is making the most out of everything. Only by bringing out their value can we justify their existence in this world. There’s so much rapeseed here, growing in patches. Can you remember the location? We’ll come back after the rainy season,"

"I can remember; don’t worry. I keep all the locations you’ve told me in mind. I’ll draw a map later to reinforce the memory."

"Don’t wait; draw it now."

Tangyuan directly took out the paper she’d made, pulled out the kindling, blew out the fire, let it cool, and quickly fashioned a simple charcoal pencil. Then, she handed it to Jin Han.

"Go ahead and draw. It’s best to also mark the places where we found peanuts and sesame earlier."

As Jin Han drew, he couldn’t help but look up at her with curiosity, "I’ve always been curious, how do you just know their names and how to eat them? Building houses is such a great endeavor; it seems incredible just to think about it. Are you really a Goddess? It wouldn’t be too much to say that you have changed our generation. I fear you’ll become famous across the entire continent."

Now, Jin Han’s admiration for Tangtang could be described as reverence. It seemed like her mind was filled with an endless supply of secrets; wherever they went, she brought them surprises. Now, thinking about it, how fortunate was he to be by her side?

Tangtang gave Jin Han a mysterious smile, "What if I said I also don’t know why, that all this just suddenly appeared in my head, would you believe me?"

Jin Han couldn’t help but laugh, "What’s not to believe? You can even make clothing out of stinky fruit; what miracles could possibly be out of reach? But, what can these few things do?"

"Their uses are plenty. Sesame seeds can make oil, be used as food seasoning, and the mature, dried stalks can be used as firewood. Moreover, the leaves during the growing period can be washed, blanched, dried, and can be made into sesame leaf noodles in the winter."

"Peanuts will bear fruit underneath; once dried, they can be processed for oil, and their leaves can feed cattle and sheep. Peanut shells, once sun-dried and chopped, can serve as fodder."

"As for these rapeseed plants, they’re flowering now. They can be eaten as green vegetables when young; when the flowers bloom, they can be used to make dumplings. Anyway, they are delicious no matter how you eat them. When they mature and produce seeds, we can dry and press them for oil, just like sesame stalks, which can be used as fuel. So, tell me, was our trip here worth it?"
