I thrived in the primitive tribe

Luo Luo and Jiu Li were quite surprised to see Lu Yao carrying back some unfamiliar plants as if they were precious treasures.

"Lu Yao, what are these?" Luo Luo leaned closer to Lu Yao, carefully examining the plants in Lu Yao's hands, and asked after confirming that she really didn't recognize them.

Jiuli followed closely behind, his sharp eyes scrutinizing the plants.

Try to find some clues from the shape of the leaves, the texture of the stems, or the soil around the roots.

However, like Luo Luo, he also failed to recognize the plants.

Lu Yao smiled happily, her eyes filled with excitement, and said joyfully:

"These are some new foods I just found over there. They're called wheat, and they're a very precious grain."

Upon hearing this, Luo Luo's eyes flashed with curiosity and confusion. She tilted her head and asked in bewilderment:

"Wheat? You mean the whole plant is edible? But it seems you brought the soil back to the tribe too? Is that soil edible?"

Lu Yao smiled and shook her head, explaining, "No, Luo Luo."

Not the entire wheat plant is edible; we mainly eat its seeds, or wheat grains.

I brought the soil back with it because these wheat plants are wild, and their roots are closely connected to the soil.

I want to try transplanting them to the tribe to see if they can grow and reproduce there.

If successful, we can collect the seeds and plant them again next year, thus providing the tribe with a new food source.

After hearing this, Luo Luo nodded in sudden understanding: "Oh, I see. I was thinking we weren't in such dire straits yet~"

"So wheat seeds are edible! Can we eat this wheat now?"

Luo Luo pressed on, her tone filled with curiosity about wheat.

Lu Yao smiled and shook her head, patiently saying, "You can't eat it yet, Luo Luo."

These wheat plants still need time to grow and mature before we can harvest and eat them once they have produced plump grains.

However, we only have this much wheat now, so we won't be able to eat it this year. We'll have to wait until next year when we grow more to enjoy the delicious wheat again.

Luo Luo was a little disappointed after hearing this, "Okay then~"

Looking at Luo Luo's slightly disappointed face, which showed her disappointment at not meeting her expectations, Lu Yao thought for a moment and continued:

"If we can find more wheat plants on this land, maybe we'll be able to taste wheat we grew ourselves this year!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Luo's eyes immediately lit up. She rubbed her hands together excitedly and responded enthusiastically:

"Yes, Lu Yao, you're right!"

In the future, when I go out to collect materials, I will pay more attention to my surroundings. If I see any plants that resemble these wheat plants,

I will definitely collect them carefully, or mark them properly, and tell you when I get back.

We will definitely find more wheat so that everyone in the tribe can enjoy this delicious food soon!

After saying that, Luo Luo patted her chest to show her determination.

Looking at Luo Luo's confident expression, Lu Yao couldn't help but smile and said gently:

"Yes, yes, I'll definitely use the newly discovered wheat to make you the most delicious food."

"So you can be the first person in the tribe to taste this new flavor."

Upon hearing this, Luo Luo's eyes crinkled into crescent moons with laughter, and a happy smile curved her lips as she cheerfully said:

"Okay, Lu Yao, don't try to renege on your promise later!"

I'll be watching you every day until you make that delicious wheat dish.

Upon hearing this, a sly glint flashed in Lu Yao's eyes, and she deliberately teased Luo Luo, saying:

"Don't worry, you won't be afraid to try it. Just be careful when you do try it. After all, there's always a little bit of uncertainty with new foods."

Upon hearing this, Luo Luo immediately became anxious and replied with a serious expression:

"That's impossible! Lu Yao, the food you made is the best of all, how could I not dare to eat it? I'd be too busy snatching it!"

"Don't even mention wheat, I'd eat anything that flies in the sky or runs on the ground, as long as you can make it!"

"How come I didn't know that my cooking skills were actually ranked first in the tribe?"

Upon hearing Luo Luo's words, Lu Yao's eyes flashed with surprise, her face filled with disbelief, thinking that Luo Luo was exaggerating a bit too much.

“That’s right, you can ask Jiu Li if you don’t believe me.” Seeing that Lu Yao didn’t believe her, Luo Luo quickly pulled Jiu Li over as a witness, and the two of them looked at Jiu Li at the same time.

Jiuli was somewhat flustered by the sudden gazes from the two people. He coughed lightly.

He could only nod helplessly: "Indeed, as Luo Luo said, your cooking skills are among the best in the tribe."

Everyone loves your cooking. Haven't you noticed that every time you make food in the cafeteria...

"They're always eaten up by the tribe very quickly?"

Upon seeing this, Lu Yao's surprise gradually transformed into an indescribable joy and pride.

She never imagined that her cooking would be so popular in the tribe. This unexpected recognition made Lu Yao, who was cooking, very happy.

"There's such a thing? I'll observe more carefully next time. I didn't notice it before!" Lu Yao said shyly.

Then, she gathered her thoughts and focused on the task at hand.

She carefully handled the fresh wild wheat, still covered in soil, that she had just brought back.

He carefully placed each plant into the basket, gently adjusting its position with his hand from time to time.

Make sure it is not crushed by other heavy objects so as not to damage these rare and precious grains.

Luo Luo thought that Lu Yao should put some of the food into her basket so that Lu Yao's basket wouldn't be too heavy.

But Lu Yao refused, saying, "Luo Luo, it's just a few wild wheat plants that haven't grown yet."

It's not very heavy, don't worry. If it gets heavy, I'll ask you for help.

There are only a few seedlings in total. If something unexpected happens on the way back and damages the seedlings, Luo Luo will feel guilty.

It's better to carry it back myself; that way, if anything goes wrong, no one will blame me.

With that in mind, Lu Yao didn't ask the other two people for help and did everything herself.

Once everything was ready, the three of them each carried their own baskets, which were filled with their harvest for the day.

They embarked on their return journey, the afterglow of the setting sun casting long shadows upon them, accompanied by their cheerful laughter.

"Luo Luo, are you going to make something delicious with all these sweet stalks?" Luo Luo asked Lu Yao, puzzled.

"Didn't I tell you before?" Lu Yao asked in surprise upon hearing Luo Luo's question.

"What did you say?" Luo Luo asked, puzzled.
