Chapter 1074 - 1073: Especially Busy
The old Shaman looked at him with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes: "Seeing as how you’re quite idle, why don’t you go and deal with the excrement in the Humming Beast pen?"
Bowman’s expression became serious: "How could I possibly be idle? I’ve got lots and lots to do right now, so I’ll stop chatting with you and get busy... Off I go..."
Having said this, he turned and headed towards the direction of the storeroom.
Indeed, he still needed to collect last year’s Purple Fruits and separate them from the ones freshly gathered this year; he truly had plenty to do.
Watching Bowman walk away, the old Shaman harrumphed before leisurely making his way back to his own courtyard, where he still had an abundance of herbs to deal with.
The method Shaman Ji Nuan proposed for making herbs into Pills was simply splendid. By doing this, the use of perishable herbs could be maximized, and there wouldn’t be any concerns about waste or not being able to gather them after the season had passed.
Thinking of his large courtyard, the old Shaman’s face bloomed into a chrysanthemum-like smile, no longer having to worry about running out of space for herbs anymore.
After all, there were two large warehouses specially designated for storing herbs in the courtyard.
Watching trays of cakes come out of the oven and stored in the ventilated storeroom, Bowman and Hei Tu exchanged glances, both brimming with smiles.
With these cakes, they could trade for more seafood from the Aquatic Tribe and, besides the amounts used by their own Tribe, they could also trade with the Divine Wood Tree Clan for Beast God Fruits during the grand trade fair.
The future seemed so bright that they might even become second-level evolved Orcs by next year.
Thinking of this, they instantly felt an increase in their energy, heaving and ho-ing away~
One basket of cakes after another, let’s get going~
By now, Captain Fu Yi had also reached the campsite by the seashore. The Guard Orc, surprised to see him: "Captain Fu Yi? What brings you here?"
Fu Yi chuckled and gave the Guard Orc’s shoulder a pat: "Of course I’m here for some good news to tell Shaman Ji Nuan. Is the Shaman around?"
"What are you doing here instead of preparing food in the Tribe? Looking to boil some salt?" Ji Nuan’s voice came from behind him as Fu Yi quickly turned around.
Xiu Yan was just bending over to let Ji Nuan down from his back, and his back was carrying a large basket that wafted out a fishy smell of Sea Beasts.
"Bowman has discovered a vast Purple Fruit Forest on our territory, much larger than the one we planted in the old Tribe.
The newly collected Purple Fruits are enough to last us till the next maturity season of the Purple Fruit trees, so we discussed whether we could also make these Purple Fruits into easily preserved food and trade them with the Aquatic Orc Tribe."
Ji Nuan looked at him with approval: "That’s very good, discovering such a large Purple Fruit Forest. Have you thought about what kind of food to make with last year’s Purple Fruits?"
Fu Yi scrunched his face, scratching his head somewhat embarrassed: "Bowman and I thought about it for a long time, but the Orcs from the Aquatic Tribe can’t use Fire Seeds, and our current foods made from Purple Fruits aren’t suitable for long-term preservation. That’s why I came here, to ask if you have any method that could extend the preservation time of those foods."
Ji Nuan chuckled: "Now that you mention it, I do have an idea for a food made from Purple Fruits that could last longer,"
Saying so, he beckoned an animal and moved forward: "Let’s go. Today Brother Xiu Yan and I have gathered lots of Shell Beasts and Sea Beasts; we’ll talk while eating when we get back."
