The crowd looked for him thousands of times, but suddenly looking back, he found that person in a dimly lit place.
Kagawa's mood at this moment can only be described by this poem. Thinking about it carefully, she had indeed seen this flower in the square near the school gate, but she didn't go over and take a closer look. No, even if she saw it, she wouldn't recognize it... How could a normal urban social creature in the 21st century think of this? Someone will plant ginger in the park!
I kept making crazy comments about modern people in my heart, but my hands didn't stop. She rolled up her sleeves and was eager to try the flowers in front of her.
Now that you've seen it, let's dig some out and take them back.
"Don't be stunned, come and help me!" Xiangchuan turned around and shouted, and then began to dig the soil.
This appearance really frightened the five of them. Even Nancy, who had been eating and drinking at the construction site since she was a child, was frightened by this primitive excavation behavior.
"What are you doing? If you want to spend it, just cut off the upper part. This will make your hands dirty." Ainuo picked off the ginger flower next to him with a black look on his face, held it in his hand and looked at it, but he didn't see it. You see why, he doesn't even bother to plant wild flowers in his small garden. Is there anything magical about it?
"I don't want the flower, I want the root... No, it seems like the ginger flower... I'd better dig it out whole!" Xiangchuan said, without stopping, and soon he dug out a ginger flower. After the roots were dug out, she happily peeled away the soil around the roots, but the root mass exposed after clearing the soil was much smaller than expected.
She looked at the root in her hand doubtfully. It shouldn't be. The root of ginger should be very big... Could it be that ginger has mutated in the past 20,000 years?
Seeing Xiangchuan's puzzled expression, Ainuo and Ouyang Yating quickly stopped Qiu Manman and Liang Gong, two honest children who were really ready to help dig up the flower roots. Now that their president doesn't understand the situation, they shouldn't blindly follow them. .
Xiangchuan frowned at the ginger piece, broke off a piece, and then broke the ginger piece into two with force, which shocked everyone.
I saw the yellow inside of the broken root, and I could smell a faint pungent smell. I am used to smelling Kagawa, but for modern people who are exposed to this smell for the first time, it is a bit too alien.
"What does this smell like..." Ouyang Yating smelled the pungent smell in the air and took two steps back with some discomfort. Just when she was about to ask Xiangchuan to throw this thing away quickly, Xiangchuan's next action It made her and the other four people's jaws dislocate: she directly licked the broken section of the root!
"Kagawa!?"
"What are you doing! Spit it out!"
Qiu Manman and Ainuo, who were closest to her, rushed forward and knocked the root block off her hand. Xiangchuan was so frightened that he quickly spat out the ginger juice in his mouth and looked at them in surprise: "What's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong with you!" Qiu Manman held her shoulders and shook her back and forth, "Even if you can't go into the kitchen to make food, you can't just pick up plant roots stained with soil and eat them!"
Others also looked at her with unbearable expressions, making Xiangchuan's forehead covered with black lines. She pressed Qiu Manman's hands and explained helplessly: "I'm not greedy for this flower, I'm just confirming it." Is this the condiment I’ve been looking for?”
"condiment?"
Everyone looked at each other, the roots of these wild flowers? condiment? It is difficult for modern people with poor natural knowledge to equate ornamental plants with condiments.
"What about the result?" Ouyang Yating became interested, mainly because pepper had given her a big impact before. Now that she heard that there might be a new condiment, she couldn't help but become curious.
"Well... I can't say that the taste is exactly the same, but it is about 70% to 80% similar..." Xiangchuan picked up the root piece that the two of them had patted on the ground and looked around, "The taste should be able to be used as a substitute, but so If you are younger, you will feel that you cannot keep up with the consumption..."
As she said this, she looked at the flowers in front of her. She had to say that the ginger flowers were really beautiful, red, and it felt like she was watching the blooming iron tree. Although she felt that what she dug out was not the essential ginger on the dining table in the 21st century, it was better than nothing. She stretched her waist and said, "Okay, let's dig it together. Let's make an agreement first. If you don't help, we'll be ready when we get back." I won’t feed that person meat.”
Meat? The five of them caught the key word. Is this thing related to meat? Such a stimulating taste, melted into the meat... everyone can't imagine the scene at once. However, out of curiosity, everyone still tried to help. The reason why I say try is because it was the first time in eight hundred years for modern people who had not touched the soil with their fingers to dig into the soil. Everyone inserted their fingers into the soil. They were all trembling, and nervously imitated Xiangchuan's movements, digging down the soil bit by bit around the roots of the ginger flowers, and completely uprooted each ginger flower from the ground.
The soil in spring is relatively moist, so it is easy to dig. The only disadvantage is that the soil sticks to everyone's clothes more easily. After digging almost thirty plants, the sleeves and trousers of the six people were basically covered with soil. The faces of the five people except Xiangchuan were more or less excited. After all, it was their first time to play with mud. Nancy was familiar with construction materials because her family members were engaged in the profession, but this was the first time she had been exposed to mud like this. The sticky mud sticks to your hands, giving you an indescribable freshness.
"Then what? Shall we just carry it back?" Aino asked, "You should be able to call your transport robot over from here, but if it comes from the air, I'm afraid it won't turn into a moving target."
Indeed, a transport robot falling from the sky would be too conspicuous in the forest.
The result of the discussion was to let Nancy and Liang Gong go back and bring the transport robot. Originally, Nancy planned to go back alone, but Ouyang Yating and Ainuo were worried that something would happen on the way (after all, they tied up everyone from Class 10). ), and asked Liang Gong to go with him.
The remaining four people just stayed there doing nothing. Xiangchuan sat down on the grass, thinking that it would be good to have a deworming chip, so he wouldn't have to worry about something suddenly crawling on his legs and pants while sitting on the grass...
"Xiangchuan, there are some unflowered ginger flowers here. Do you want to pick some and plant them?" Qiu Manman walked around and saw a small cluster of grass next to the flowers that was shorter than the ginger flowers. The leaves were somewhat similar. .
"Huh?" Xiangchuan stood up and went over to take a look, "It's not impossible. I don't seem to have this kind of flower over there."
Xiang's family is in the villa area, and ginger flowers are basically wild flowers. If you can still see wild flowers in the villa area, some high-status ladies may not be happy to see them, so there are basically no common flowers like ginger flowers in the villa area. .
So the two began to dig up the soil again. This time Ainuo and Ouyang Yating were unwilling to join in. There was already enough soil on their bodies, and any more would be beyond their tolerance.
"Wow, this root is so big. Xiangchuan, you can plant a lot of ginger flowers when you go back...Xiangchuan?" Qiu Manman, who moved quickly, dug out one plant first. She showed it to Xiangchuan, but when Xiangchuan saw it The thing in her hand froze, making Qiu Manman very confused.
"This...is this...!" Xiangchuan excitedly grasped the root piece Qiu Manman handed over, shaking off the soil quickly with his hands and feet, revealing the shape of a ginger piece that was larger than her two palms. She couldn't wait to wipe her hands briefly and broke off a small piece of ginger. The pungent fragrance splashed out with the ginger juice. She stuck out her tongue and licked it. Yes, it was a familiar taste!
"Quick!" Xiangchuan waved to Ainuo and Ouyang Yating, who were looking at them blankly, "Come and dig out these! These are what I'm looking for!"
The two looked at each other and continued to join the digging army helplessly.
Ten minutes later, when Liang Gong and Nancy pulled the suspended transport robot over, they saw four people with more mud on their bodies, and ginger on the ground.
