Creating a Different World - Chapter 2489

[Chapter 2489 Sumigua]

Jia Zhengjin looked around and focused on the clear river not far from the house: “Shall we go to the river?”

“Yes!” Heiman, Ashley, Amanda, and Sarah followed him immediately. When

they came to the river, Jia Zhengjin looked at the river beach and the river water.

In his opinion, such a big river must be rich in resources. It should be no problem to get some freshwater fish and shrimp to eat.

But after searching for a long time, he didn’t see a fish or a shrimp. There were quite a few insect-shaped things swimming around in it.

And it was obvious that these insects were not edible.

“Are there no fish and shrimp here?” Confused, Jia Zhengjin turned around and asked.

“Princess, it seems that you have really forgotten everything!” Ashley replied, “This river is full of spiny worms. They are the natural enemies of fish and shrimp. No fish or shrimp can survive here.”

“Oh!” Jia Zhengjin pretended to be enlightened, “So there is nothing in the river except these worms?”

“Yes!” Heiman sighed, “If there are fish and shrimp, they will definitely catch some for you, the princess, for daily supply!”

Jia Zhengjin scratched his head and looked around: “Let’s go over there?”

“Yes!” The four hurriedly followed behind. After

walking a distance, they came to a bumpy area with new soil that had been turned over and some strange plants planted.

[System] Barren land!

[System] Malnourished grigios!

Glancing over, I immediately realized that this was their farmland.

But such a farmland is too wasteful, and the food planted is still that kind of unpalatable stuff.

“Why do we only grow grigen here?” Jia Zhengjin turned around and asked, “Is there no other food that can be grown?”

“Your Highness,” Sarah came over and said, “There is no one among us who is good at planting. Growing grigen was something that Grandpa Ladin learned when he was a child.”

“Is that so?” Jia Zhengjin asked again, “There are so many plants in the forest. Doesn’t everyone know which ones are edible and which ones are not? Can’t we try to grow some new food?”

“Your Highness,” Heiman said quickly, “We don’t have pharmacists, doctors, or priests here. We are not from farming families, so we can’t recognize them. There are poisonous grasses and fruits everywhere in the forest. Eating one can kill you. If you are not sure, you dare not try it!”

Jia Zhengjin thought to himself that you are so arrogant. You haven’t found a new food variety in so many years, or you dare not find it. You can survive on grigen alone, even if it is so unpalatable, and you can persist. It’s amazing!

He nodded and stopped talking, and walked straight ahead.

“Your Highness, I will clear the way for you!” Heiman hurried over and rushed into the bushes before Jia Zhengjin, in order to check the surroundings and make sure that there were no poisonous snakes or insects that would hurt Your Highness.

Ashley and the other two followed closely, constantly looking around to investigate. The four of them surrounded Jia Zhengjin in the middle, not daring to be negligent.

The protection was quite good.

Jia Zhengjin casually looked at the roadside, scanning his eyes, and identified through the system.

What they said was true. Many of the fruits of plants along the way were highly poisonous, and very few were actually edible.

But luck was good, and he soon found an edible food.

[Sumi melon] The pulp, seeds, leaves, and vines of sumi melon are all good ingredients, and can be cooked into delicious food.

Seeing this introduction, Jia Zhengjin was delighted.

However, he knew that if Heiman, Ashley and others saw him reaching out to pick it, he would definitely be stopped. If they were asked to pick it, they would probably be afraid.

So when the people around him were not paying attention, he quickly bent down and picked a sumi melon, and took a small bite when it touched his mouth.

“Your Highness!!” Heiman, Ashley and others who heard the noise turned their heads and saw this scene, frightened and pale, and hurriedly tried to snatch the sumi melon and make him spit out the part in his mouth.

What if it is a poisonous fruit? If the princess is in danger, no one can afford it!

“Princess, spit it out!” Ashley, Amanda, and Sarah were so anxious that they almost cried, “Don’t eat anything carelessly!”

“Princess, hurry up! Spit it out! What if it is poisonous?” Heiman was also very anxious.

Jia Zhengjin avoided them, chewed a few times and swallowed the flesh in one mouthful: “It’s quite sweet, not poisonous!”

“Princess, are you really okay?” Heiman looked at him anxiously.

“Princess!” Ashley and the other two also surrounded Jia Zhengjin, constantly looking at his face to make sure he was okay.

“I said it’s not poisonous!” Jia Zhengjin patted the sumi melon in his hand and handed it to Ashley and the others, “Here!”

The three girls were in a panic and hurriedly reached out to take it, holding the sumi melon that Jia Zhengjin had bitten.

“Princess, can you stick out your tongue for me to see?” Heiman was still very worried.

“How dare you!” Jia Zhengjin quickly got into character, “You actually asked me to stick out my tongue, how rude!”

“Princess, please forgive me!” Heiman said hurriedly, “I am just worried about your safety, what if it is poisonous?”

“I told you it is not poisonous!” Jia Zhengjin bent down and pulled up the whole Sumi vine, picked a leaf and put it in his mouth.

Heiman, Ashley and others were startled again and became even more panicked.

Jia Zhengjin chewed a few times and spat it on the ground: “It doesn’t taste good raw, it looks like it needs to be cooked.”

“Your Highness, you…”

“I’ve tried it myself, this plant is edible!” Jia Zhengjin said, “Help me find it and see if there are any around, we’ll take them all back. When the time comes, take out some for planting, and the rest for dinner!”

“Your Highness, we can’t just eat this unknown food, what if…”

“What if? If it’s poisonous, I would have had an attack long ago!” Jia Zhengjin said, “Look, I’m fine, aren’t I?”

“But Your Highness.”

“Do as I command!” Jia Zhengjin snapped his fingers, “Find all the plants like this nearby and bring them back!”

Everyone was stunned by his snapping of fingers, after all, they had never seen it before and thought it was strange. They

also had some doubts in their hearts, after all, they didn’t know what it was, what if it was poisonous?

But the princess’s order had to be obeyed, Heiman and Ashley, Amanda, and Sarah looked at each other, and after eye contact, they gritted their teeth and began to search for this plant everywhere.

It’s true, there are quite a lot of these sumi melons nearby, it should be a wild melon field.

Soon, more than a dozen plants were found. They were all pulled out and put together. There were seven or eight sumi melons.

“Great!” Seeing the results, Jia Zhengjin was very happy, “We have dinner! Come, bring them back to me and watch me turn them into delicious dishes!”

Heiman turned to look at the girls, and Ashley, Amanda, and Sarah also turned to look at him, with worries in their hearts.
