Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Yesterday was exhausting, my whole body aches. Today we’re heading into the mountain again. It’s not just Qi Qing and Yun Chuching who are struggling to move; the male stars are equally worn out. Thankfully, there were hints earlier that these seven signs aren’t buried too high, sparing us the effort of climbing up there to search.

Along the way, Shuangshuang was the first to find some food: two banana trees. The bananas on the trees were still green, obviously not ripe yet, but they had grown quite large, suggesting they weren’t far from ripening.

To be safe, Shuangshuang picked two bunches of bananas. Though unripe bananas are astringent, these two were almost ripe, likely not too bitter. Plus, cooked bananas wouldn’t taste too bad, at least they won’t leave everyone hungry.

While Shuangshuang was picking bananas, Yun Chuching and Qi Qing found a sign tied with a conspicuous blue ribbon beneath the banana trees, while Yu Yingjie was examining some yellow flowers that looked like miniature sunflowers, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

Holding the bananas, Shuangshuang joined them and stared for a long time, puzzled, asking, "Brother Yu, is there anything special about these flowers?"

Yu Yingjie frowned, seemingly trying hard to remember, "I recall a type of ginger flower that should look like this, but I can’t remember exactly what kind of ginger it is—whether it’s ginger or galangal?"

Upon hearing the word ginger, Shuangshuang’s eyes lit up, ignoring Yu Yingjie’s confusion between ginger and galangal. In Shuangshuang’s mind, ginger is an essential seasoning for cooking.

As soon as Yu Yingjie finished his confusion, intending to check if it was ginger, Shuangshuang swiftly uprooted several plants and indeed found a mass of ginger-like roots underground.

Shuangshuang picked them up and smelled them closely, the aroma wasn’t as pungent as ginger; biting a piece, the flesh was crunchy, lacking any spicy flavor.

It should be galangal, whose flavor is mild and unsuitable as a seasoning, but it makes excellent pickles. Pickled galangal is crisp and quite refreshing.
