I'm involved in poverty alleviation in a primitive tribe.

Clam Witch couldn't help but sigh, "Lotus Witch has really had a hard time."

Jiang Ning asked the Clam Witch to take the Lotus Witch and the people of the Lotus Tribe to get something to eat, and then called Hong Yue to arrange for a few warriors to take the wolf pack and go to the Lotus Tribe together.

Jiang Ning doesn't plan to bring too many Sky Wolf Warriors with him to the Lotus Tribe this time. It's a busy time right now, with people needed everywhere for the autumn harvest, hunting, and collecting firewood.

With warriors from the Lotus Tribe accompanying them, there wasn't much danger.

The food wasn't ready yet. When Jiang Ning arrived at the tribe's entrance, the Clam Witch was standing there, giving the Lotus Witch a detailed introduction to the planting areas on both sides of the Sky Wolf River.

Seeing the amazement in Lianwu's eyes, Bangwu felt a strange sense of pride. He recalled the scene when he first saw this land; he probably had the same expression.

After finishing their meal, Jiang Ning led her people on their way.

Only twenty-one people from the Lotus Tribe came this time. Jiang Ning and Hong Yue led ten Sky Wolf warriors and twenty-one ownerless Sky Wolves on their journey.

At first, the people of the Lotus Tribe were not quite used to riding the Sky Wolf, but they were warriors after all, and had a strong control over their bodies, so they quickly adapted.

After a long and fast journey, five days later, Jiang Ning came to see a beautiful sea of ​​flowers.

It has been more than a month since autumn began, but the surface of Lotus Lake is still rippling and lush with greenery.

Large, dark green lotus leaves covered the lake surface, and people were walking on them.

Among these giant water lilies, there are many smaller lotus leaves and flowers, most of which have withered. These should be the lotus flowers used for food by the lotus tribe.

It was early morning, and a thin mist swirled around the lake, creating a dreamlike scene.

There are still dewdrops condensed on the lotus leaves, crystal clear and as beautiful as pearls.

Dewdrops rolled on the lotus leaves as the water rippled, shimmering and adding a touch of liveliness and vitality to the leaves.

The most beautiful of all are those giant lotus flowers.

These lotus flowers are a meter in diameter, with layers of petals in various colors. Some are still in bud, while others are already in full bloom, emitting a faint fragrance.

Bathed in the morning light, the giant lotus flowers appeared even more magnificent and dazzling, like huge gems inlaid on the lake surface, sparkling brilliantly.

A brightly colored creature was flying merrily on a giant lotus flower. Its shape was somewhat similar to a dragonfly, but it was much larger, almost the size of an eagle.

The creature's wings were multicolored, shimmering with dazzling light, and each flap of its wings emitted a radiant glow. Its posture was extremely elegant, and its movements were light and graceful, as if it were performing an aerial dance.

Just as Jiang Ning was about to praise the beautiful scenery before her, suddenly, a dark lotus whip shot out of the lake water with lightning speed.

The lotus whip tightly coiled around the creature, sending it into the lotus without hesitation. Then, the lotus quickly closed its petals, as if to devour it.

Jiang Ning: "..."

I initially thought it was a delicate flower, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a man-eating flower.

“Jiang Wu, this is the residence of our Lian tribe. Please come this way.” Lian Wu led the way.

The Lotus Tribe's dwelling is very well hidden, concealed behind giant lotus leaves.

After passing the lotus leaves, the view suddenly opened up to a large open space, behind which lay the caves where the Lotus Tribe people lived. Lotus Tribe members were also drying food in the open space.

The Lotus Witch led the Lotus Tribe to pay their respects to Jiang Ning first, and then said, "Jiang Witch, we are now starting to harvest lotus roots, which may take some time."

"It's alright, you guys go ahead and do your work, don't worry about me." Jiang Ning waved her hand. She also wanted to wander around the area. After all, it was a new map, and maybe there would be some new food.

Hongyue asked the other Sirius Warriors to help her, and then followed Jiang Ning around the mountains.

These mountains have all been thoroughly explored by the Lotus Tribe, leaving almost nothing. Jiang Ning patted Baiya's back, urging it to go further afield.

Seeing that the two were getting further and further away from the Lotus Tribe, Hongyue couldn't help but ask, "What is Jiang Wu looking for?"

"I wanted to see if there was any new food I could take back and grow, but unfortunately I didn't find any. Let's go back." After wandering around for a while without finding anything, Jiang Ning decided to head back.

Back in the Lotus Tribe, the Lotus Witch had already prepared food: lotus root soup and roasted meat.

When Jiang Ning received the lotus root soup, she smelled a familiar aroma. She looked at the few green things floating on the soup with delight: "What is this?"

Lianwu leaned closer to take a look: "This? It's called 'Qiangcao' (薅草). Its juice smells very unpleasant, but adding some to soup would give it a unique flavor."

Choking grass? Isn't that just scallion?

After confirming with the system, Jiang Ning asked Lian Wu, "Where did you find this 'choking grass'? Hong Yue and I didn't see it nearby."

Lianwu laughed and said, "There are several mountains around here covered with thorny grass, you probably didn't go that way."

That makes sense. Jiang Ning and Hong Yue had been searching in the same direction, so they might have just missed each other.

Jiang Ning picked up the lotus root soup and took a sip. The lotus root was soft and tender, and the addition of chopped scallions made it fragrant, sweet, and delicious. Jiang Ning sighed contentedly.

Noticed Jiang Ning's expression, Lianwu asked, "Do you like this taste? I remember there's another kind of spicy fruit with a stronger flavor. Shall I have someone bring it for you to try?" After saying that, she ordered her people to fetch the spicy fruit.

Jiang Ning drank another bowl of lotus root soup, then saw the pungent fruit the man had brought: "This... garlic?"

This garlic looks exactly the same as it did in my previous life, with withered and yellowed garlic leaves still attached.

“Jiang Wu knows this? So it’s called garlic. From now on, we’ll call it garlic too.” Lian Wu readily agreed.

Jiang Ning really enjoyed talking to Lianwu so much that she automatically renamed it before she even figured out how to explain it to her.

Lianwu was still asking, "Then what's this choking grass called?"

"Let's call it Scallion!" Jiang Ning shamelessly named it.

Thus, the scallion got a new name and became the scallion of this world.

That night, Jiang Ning and the Sirius Warriors were arranged to sleep in a cave in the Lotus Tribe. Jiang Ning also saw the magical glowing lotus flower, which was only the size of a palm and emitted a light that was not very bright, but it was enough to illuminate its surroundings.

Over the next few days, the people of the Lotus Tribe were busy harvesting lotus roots, while Jiang Ning took Hong Yue around to dig for scallions and garlic.

The lotus from the Lotus Tribe are used to make seasonings, and they don't harvest much. Jiang Ning plans to dig up more to plant back home.

Jiang Ning took out his newly made weapon, which was polished from the beak of the ferocious brown-feathered eagle of the spirit bone level.

It was still honed into a bone knife; this material makes digging soil as smooth as cutting tofu.

Hongyue looked at Jiang Ning as if she were a villain who wasting resources. Jiang Ning's lips twitched, and she silently squatted down on the other side to dig garlic.

The soil here isn't very good; the garlic bulbs are not only small, but they also break easily when pulled, so we have to dig them up by hand.
