Chapter 94 Taro Harvest
As the taro emerges from the ground, the digging pig uses its skills to dig the taro out of the ground along the ridges.

The digging rats were like crazy, drilling countless holes in the underground part of the taro and bamboo fields. The roots of the taro that were luckily not rolled out by the big-tailed yak's skills were also cut off to facilitate digging and picking.

Qiao Xi called out to the golden macaques in the distance to come and help, and soon they came running out from the dimly lit forest, calling their friends.

"Golden Kiwi, we are going to harvest taro! Get started!" Qiao Xi gave an order, and the entire farm was busy harvesting.

I don’t know if it’s because Josh took good care of them, or for some other reason, but these taro roots are unusually large, and there are quite a few of them.

If it were someone else, they would definitely worry that such extra-large taro would be difficult to sell, and even if they were put into the shipping box, the price would not be good.

However, Qiao Xi already had an idea, so he was not worried that the big taro would not be able to sell.

"Remember to classify the golden macaques, and pile the big taro over here." Qiao Xi divided them into areas.

She also carried a basket and tried her best to pick up taro. Once the basket was full, she put it into her space backpack to avoid running back and forth and wasting time.

More than 20 golden macaques plus Qiao Xi picked up all the taro in the field before the sun set. It really shows that there is power in numbers.

However, Qiao Xi and the others who were picking taro didn't have to spend much effort. At most, their backs were sore from bending over. The little guys in the digging team were really exhausted.

Josh looked at the burrowing pigs slumped in front of the farmhouse, squatted down and rubbed their heads. "Thank you, burrowing pigs. You did a great job today. What would you like for dinner? I'll make you a delicious meal with sweet and soft taro, okay?"

"Hmph!" Okay, okay, I want to eat two big plates!
"Hmph~" I'm going to eat until I can't eat anymore!

"Hmph~" I want to eat a lot too!
Speaking of food, the three little pigs instantly became energetic, their legs and waists no longer hurt, they climbed up happily, wagging their tails and acting coquettishly towards Qiao Xi.

"Okay, okay, I will definitely make a lot so that every one of you can go to sleep well fed." Josh smiled and agreed to all their requests.

"Now, let me go in and take a look at those tired rats, okay?" Josh asked with a smile.

Unlike the burrowing pig, the burrowing rat actually digs in the soil all day long. Although it has skills, it still has to dig by itself, so it naturally takes a lot of effort.

In the short time that Josh had finished work, they had already huddled together in their nest and started to sleep.

The digging pigs were blocking Qiao Xi's way. She patted the pigs' fleshy backs and stepped over the pigpen fence with a smile.

Five burrowing rats were sleeping on the ground, lying on their backs, and Josh didn't have the heart to disturb them.

Only after checking that there were no signs of injury on the big rat's limbs and claws did she feel at ease to go out. After all, it had been digging for a whole day and she was afraid that its limbs might be injured.

In fact, Josh was just overthinking it. In the wild, digging rats dig much more in a day. They just haven't dug intensively for too long, and their bodies can't keep up. They will be full of energy after a good sleep.

Well, now that they are all fine, we can start preparing dinner for tonight.

With such a good harvest of taro, Qiao Xi planned to cook some taro tonight.

Take out the big taro, wash them in clean water and set them aside.

"ZongZong, can you help me peel these taro and cut them into pieces?" "Quack~" Of course!
After being upgraded to a high-level magical beast, the skill level of the Brown-headed Vulture has been greatly improved. Now, no matter what request Josh makes, there is nothing he cannot complete.

As a small tornado blew past, the outer skin of the taro was all blown away, and the sharp wind blade was more than enough to cut off these things.

The smooth taro was first split into two, and then quickly cut into small pieces by the invisible wind blade.

But in just a short while, all the tasks that originally required Josh to work hard to complete were finished in an instant.

"Thank you, Zong Zong. You can go and play first. Don't forget to come back for dinner later." The Brown-headed Vulture now lives in the Glimmering Forest and rarely returns to its little nest in the attic.

The space collisions stop and start from time to time. I don’t know when the space tide that Ticha mentioned will take away the secret spaces in the Glimmering Forest, or whether it will take root here directly. I don’t understand.

Occasionally, powerful alien beasts would take advantage of the lack of energy in the space stone to emerge from the space rifts and cause trouble. The brown-headed crow vulture would take on this responsibility and guard the location of the space rifts firmly.

I spend less time on the farm.

Taking out the big pot specially used for making fish balls, Qiao Xi put all the chopped taro into it and boiled it with water. There were too many fish balls, so it was impossible to make them too delicate. Qiao Xi could only try his best to ensure the taste was good.

After lighting the fire, Qiao Xi stood in front of the big pot, stirring it from time to time to prevent the taro from sticking to the pot. The taro was soft, sweet, and delicious even when eaten alone.

Qiao Xi used a spatula to crush the taro until it was cooked through. He picked up a piece to taste it. It had a delicate and sweet texture, and the core was not soaked by water vapor and still had a crunchy feel. It was delicious.

The water was slowly boiled dry. Qiao Xi crushed all the taro with a spatula and fried it into taro paste in the pot. He brought a few full milk jugs and poured the jumping lamb milk into them to increase the energy and taste.

Once the jumping lamb's milk is added, the originally dry taro paste in the pot becomes moist and thick. Then a large jar of slender-legged bee honey reserved for the farm's own use is taken out and all poured in. Instantly, the aroma of milk mixed with the fragrance of honey and flowers, and the sweet fragrance of taro, forming a perfect dessert.

The sweet taste even attracted a few white velvet bumblebees.

However, after Josh gave it to them to try, they said they couldn't eat it. Although it was fragrant, the taro in it was not suitable for them.

Well, Josh suspected that they might not be able to eat taro, so he could only let them smell it.

There was still some moisture in the taro paste in the pot. Qiao Xi turned off the fire and used the residual heat from the bottom of the pot to slowly dry the taro paste.

After putting the still burning charcoal branches into the bread oven to preheat, Josh turned to the kitchen and found a large pot of fermented wheat flour that he had prepared earlier.

Qiao Xi kneaded out the wheat flour, added new wheat flour and mixed it together, kneading it into long strips, circles and cakes and letting it sit for a while.

After eating it for so long, Qiao Xi discovered that the wheat noodles from this alien world were very different from the wheat noodles he had eaten before. They fermented faster and were not easy to deteriorate.

Fortunately, he had bought enough wheat noodles before. Josh took great pains to move a whole bag of wheat noodles from the storage room. There were many elves eating tonight, and he couldn't let any of them go without a meal.

After all the dough had risen, Josh could finally send the dough balls into the bread oven.
