Chapter 154 Digging Potatoes + New City Lord (2000 words)
They transported a lot of supplies from the tribe to the beast gathering city, and they were eaten half by these orcs in the beast gathering city on the first day of their arrival.

so horrible.

If this goes on, it will definitely not be enough for them to eat.

Fortunately, An Jin prepared for a rainy day and stored a lot of food in the universal warehouse in the system space in advance.

From time to time, they secretly added a little to the storage warehouse in the city, and the little things made a lot, and the orcs didn't notice the clue.

But the food will eventually run out, and it is definitely not enough to rely solely on the poor relief food.

An Jin planned to take them to find food.

Now the monsters are besieged outside the city, unable to get out of the city, they can only dig food in the city's soil.

Many foods in the world of beasts are unexploited resources, which are considered inedible by the orcs. As long as An Jin educates them on the correct way to eat these foods, they can increase their food reserves a lot.

"Those big roots you brought, those sweet potatoes, taste delicious and filling. We found many similar tubers around. Can you go and have a look?"

The orcs who had just returned from the forest outside the city hurriedly found her, their faces red with excitement.

Panting heavily, it was obvious that he was running fast.

"Take me there quickly."

An Jin was also overjoyed, packed up quickly, followed them to the top of the mountain, and found a large pile of fresh potatoes that had just been dug out of the ground.

The skins of the round potatoes were still muddy, and they piled up like a hill, but no one dared to eat them.

"Because of the famine, we dug up all the edible wild vegetables and plants in the city. There were hungry orcs who ate this earthy yellow tuber but soon vomited to death." A tiger beast spoke worriedly.

An Jin shook his head, squatted on the ground, picked up a small piece of potato, held it in his hand, and gently wiped off the soil on it with his fingertips, "You eat it raw, right?"

The orcs nodded. Most of the wild vegetables and various edible plants they dug out of the ground were eaten raw.

In their minds, these easy-to-chew foods and fruits don't need hard cooking.

"This kind of tuber... well, we can call it a potato. Potatoes cannot be eaten raw, or they will be poisoned."

Potatoes are rich in starch and must be eaten cooked, otherwise the starch grains will not break and the human body cannot digest them.

Moreover, potatoes contain a toxic protein called lectin, which can cause red blood cells in human blood to agglutinate. Ingestion of potatoes can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and in severe cases, death.

After being cooked at high temperature, the protein will be denatured and lose its function, so foods like potatoes and taro are usually cooked before eating.

The orcs naturally didn't understand these principles, but since An Jin said that they could be eaten after they were cooked, they happily carried the potatoes back home in animal skin bags.

After I went home and cooked it, I found that it was not poisonous. Although it had no taste, it was very filling.

Soon the orcs in the city began to dig potatoes.

After digging, they also discovered white radish, taro, yam roots, etc. Many of these plants that they had previously classified as inedible became edible under An Jin's effective explanation.

The storage of grain in the warehouse has increased significantly.

[Personal prestige +6, now +195! 】

Jingjing's voice sounded cheerfully, "It's almost 200, please kiss the master and try harder!"

The heavy rain season is coming, and the first heavy rain is fierce and violent. The entire city is forced to be enveloped in drifting heavy rain, and the woods are twisted by the strong wind.

The air was filled with milky white water mist, and the orcs could only huddle in their houses and wait for the rainstorm to stop soon.

An Jin is no exception.

"Oh my god, my body is really itchy, why are there so many red rashes on my body..."

An Jin crawled out of the grass nest in the middle of the night, feeling itchy all over her body, and began to scratch her shoulders and back.

Ling Hong wrapped her in his arms, his eyes fell on the grass nest under her, his silver-white eyebrows frowned, "It's the heavy rainy season, the weather is too humid, and these grass nests are too damp."

"It rained a few days ago and the warehouse was flooded, and the hay they dried earlier was all wet, and there was no way to replace it."

There are no beds in Jushou City, and the orcs sleep on a mass of weeds and animal skins, maintaining an extremely primitive style.

No, I can't stand it anymore.

An Jin wailed, "If I stay on this damp grass nest any longer, my skin will be scratched by myself. Let's make a bed quickly!"

【Ding!Distribute random tasks - teach the orcs to make beds, and popularize this method in the city of beasts.

Time: 7 days

Reward: +35 gold coins]

It just so happened that the system also dispatched a random task at this time, which was exactly what she wanted.

Just do what you say, and when the rainstorm subsides, An Jin plans to teach the orcs in this city to make beds!
A few days later, the gloomy sky finally cleared up, and the orcs, who had been bored at home for so long, couldn't wait to come out of the house to have fun.

"Wow~" They turned into animal shapes, lay lazily at the door to bask in the long-lost warm sunshine, and took a deep breath of the air rich in the smell of moist soil and grass and trees.

Hearing the roar of wolf beasts erupting from the center of the city, the orcs were shocked, and immediately ran to the square roaring, and soon the empty square was densely packed with orcs.

An Jin looked at the dark crowd and saw that everyone was almost here, so he told them his plan to make a bed.

The orcs have rough skin and thick flesh, suitable for any harsh environment, and they don't feel much about sleeping in grass nests all year round.

But females with lower physical fitness are not so lucky.

Many females also had the same red rash as An Jin's. It was extremely itchy and stinging, and the skin bleeds from frequent scratching.

The males are very distressed about their females, so they all agree with the making of the bed.

But they are worried about the quality. After all, the orcs are so strong that they can easily crush the wood, and they often make a lot of noise when they mate with their partners. Can these so-called wooden beds really withstand their toss?

"Don't worry about quality."

An Jin said firmly, "The orcs in our tribe have always used beds to rest. They have never collapsed for several years. If you are worried, you can change to a stone bed."

The orcs from the Sheng'an Tribe also nodded their heads and couldn't help puffing out their chests proudly.

The orcs in Poly Beast City were shocked.

They always thought that their city was the most developed and prosperous city in this area, but they didn't expect that they had been left behind too much by others in terms of sleeping infrastructure.

They are still sleeping in the grass nest, and others have already slept in the so-called "bed".

This city is more civilized and advanced than they imagined.

Through this period of getting along, the orcs in Juju City have seen the ability of the female patriarch in front of them, and from the initial simple gratitude to a deeper level of admiration.

The old city lord has been killed by those monsters...

Alas, the vitality of the city has been greatly reduced now, and it is unable to hold competitions and battles before selecting a new city lord.

If she could be their new city lord...
