But with such a large amount, it would be a waste even if it could be smoked. So he planned to give some to Hestia as local specialties to take back. At first Hestia refused, but after Su Mo explained. If the whole grass is smoked, it will not taste good. When you hunt fresh ones in the future, you will gradually not want to eat them, and they will end up being wasted. Hestia agreed. After all, her life there wasn't that easy. When the money is gone, it's time to go work to make a living. Therefore, as for these local food specialties, if she hadn't seen how miserable Su Mo was before and couldn't bear it, it would have been difficult for her to refuse them. Finally, they decided to give half of the meat to Hestia. He was also given six furs, three of which Su Mo would use in the near future. Also, I don’t know if they are rabbit horns and fangs from the original material.
Let Hestia take these back and see if they can be exchanged for money. Of course, not leaving now. Su Mo made two stone pots, one for making salt, and asked Hestia to help watch over it first. The "salt making" here actually does not require any technical content. In the Death Forest, there is a layer of salt soil beneath the surface. This layer of material is more like coarse salt than soil. So Su Mo is just refining it a little bit now. Boil water, add salt soil and cook until dissolved. Then cool and wait for debris to settle. After sedimentation, carefully pour out the brine on top, and then boil the clean brine dry. There is a little bit of brine left, which recrystallizes when it cools, and these crystals are edible salt. It was that simple, Hestia understood it as soon as she heard it. After handing this over to her, Su Mo began to sow seeds in the newly dug fields alone. The one used was a plow cart. Su Mo had noticed before that when sowing with a plow cart, the spacing between crop plants can be controlled at will. For example, for bean sprouts, a hoe can sow them one by one, while a plow can sow them in a continuous field. Moreover, the harrow cart has wheels, so you can just push it, which is more convenient and quick. Of the 20 hectares of land, half was planted with upland rice by Su Mo, three hectares of wheat, two hectares of potatoes, one hectare of corn, one hectare each of peanuts and soybeans, and one hectare of cotton. The remaining one hectare is used to grow fruits and vegetables.
Onions: There are four types: scallions, chives, shallots, and onions. Common spices such as ginger, garlic, coriander, chili, white pepper, black pepper, star anise, bay leaves, etc., vary according to demand. Vegetables: Chinese cabbage, mustard greens, lettuce, cabbage, cabbage, spinach, broccoli, etc. White radish, carrots, green beans, peas, and string beans. Tomatoes, cucumbers, bitter melon, winter melon, and zucchini. Strawberries, blueberries, cantaloupe, watermelon, and honeydew melon. There are even some fruit trees and tea trees. But the most important is the soap tree, also known as the 'soapberry tree'. The fruit of this tree, 'Soapberry', is a natural soap. You can use it to wash your hands, face, hair, bath and clothes, and it has a strong cleaning ability. If Su Mo doesn't have the conditions to make soap himself, and hasn't encountered a world where he can buy cleaning products at an affordable price, he will probably have to rely on this in the future. Su Mo was afraid that it was not safe enough, so he even planted soapberry trees. This is also natural soap, but it needs a little processing. There is also a small piece of herbs at the end. Although Su Mo will never get sick, it is better to be prepared. Some medicinal herbs can also be used to make soup or herbal tea, which are all good things. After planting the fields, Su Mo returned home and saw Hestia coming towards him with excitement. "Su Mo, the salt is ready." She showed the results to Su Mo with a proud look on her face. He looked at the layer of salt at the bottom of the pot, and then looked at Hestia who had a 'come praise me' expression on her face. Su Mo decided to praise her. "That's awesome Hestia, well done!" …To be continued… PS: Please give me flowers, monthly tickets, and comments. Chapter 7 Magical Talent! Hestia is caught red-handed Hestia smiled happily after being praised. She didn't expect that doing such a thing would make her so happy, and it felt pretty good. Then, Su Mo started cooking. Apart from entertaining Hestia, he himself hadn't eaten for a day and was now starting to feel hungry.
Since there were no other seasonings except salt, Su Mo just made a few simple dishes. Stir-fried bean sprouts and kelp with rabbit oil, grilled rabbit skewers, and rabbit stew. "Hmm~! Delicious! I didn't expect it to be so good. The rabbit meat is so tender and has a unique flavor." "Indeed, this rabbit oil is quite fragrant when used for cooking, and it adds a unique flavor." The taste was unexpectedly good, which surprised the two people who didn't have high expectations. …… After dinner, the two started working again. The main thing is to build fences to enclose fields and homes. Although it cannot stop monsters of high level, it can prevent small animals and snakes, rats and the like from destroying the fields. At the same time, Su Mo thought about it and dug a trench. Because these trenches can be converted into waterways later to facilitate irrigation of fields. This was accomplished very quickly with the help of Hestia's divine power and telekinesis. "Thank you so much, Hestia, for helping me so much. Next time you come, I will definitely treat you with the best things." Seeing that there was nothing more she could do to help, Hestia prepared to go back. After all, she had been out for quite a while, and someone might have noticed that she was missing and was looking for her. Su Mo said goodbye to her with some regret. "It's settled then. I'll come back as soon as possible, and I'll bring you something good next time." In front of the dimensional gate, Hestia hugged the local specialties given by Su Mo and gave a thumbs up with full energy. "Then I'm looking forward to it." Su Mo also smiled and gave a thumbs up. Then, Su Mo watched Hestia walk into the dimensional gate and disappear into it. "Visitor." Thinking back to today's interaction with Hestia, Su Mo sighed and looked up at the sky with his hands on his hips, smiling, "Not bad." At this time, the system also bubbled up. "Congratulations to the host for completing the reception of Hestia in the Earthly World and receiving the reward: 'Magical Talent (Elf Royal Family)'!" As soon as he finished speaking, Su Mo felt a sense of extra strength flowing through his body. If nothing unexpected happens, this is what is called magic. "Magic talent, not bad. If I remember correctly, my magic talent seems to be quite poor, almost non-existent. Now I have made up for it." Su Mo was quite satisfied with this reward.
Although the magical abilities of the elves in the Earth Trouble are not that great, they are not as strong as the magic of grace. But it's better than nothing. Moreover, the elven royal family is also very talented, just look at Livilia. "But system, why didn't you tell me when Hestia came before? Or was there no prompt when the visitor arrived?" The appearance of Hestia really caught him off guard, but luckily Hestia was not a bad person, so nothing went wrong. But what if next time, the person who comes is a bad person and he doesn’t know about it? That would be troublesome and might bring disaster to the world. To this, the system’s answer is yes. "Replying to the host, the system has given a prompt, but the host was sleeping at the time and did not notice it. In fact, you woke up because of the prompt." "..." This answer made Su Mo not know how to complain for a moment, and he could only say: "Next time, you must notify me. In this case, you must remind me again when I am sober." "Okay, the reminder rules have been updated." Seeing this, Su Mo felt relieved. Since I don't know how to use magic, I can't actually test it. So Su Mo didn't pay much attention to it, turned around and continued to do farm work. The land where seeds were sown has not been watered yet. After watering the plants, he also needs to study the various uses of the universal tool. ………… As for Hestia, she has also returned to the Earthly World. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar basement, and recalling her experience with Su Mo, she couldn't help but feel as if she were in another world. "Where have you been? What is that in your hand?" "Wow!" The sudden voice startled Hestia. When she turned around, she found that it was Hephaestus, sitting on the sofa and looking at her quietly. Hestia, who didn't expect to be caught red-handed, felt a little guilty for some reason: "Hephis, when did you get here?" "Half an hour ago." Hephaestus folded her arms and shrugged. "I just wanted to come and see how you were doing, but I found you weren't here. I thought you had gone out, but I didn't expect..." As she spoke, a gleam in her eyes, and she looked at Hestia scrutinizingly, "What's wrong with you? How did you suddenly appear? You didn't use any divine power, how did you do it?"
"Uh...well..." Hestia hesitated for a moment, knowing her friend's character, and thinking it would be okay to tell her, so she said, "I went to a very magical place." She told him how she was worrying about how to recruit her clan members, and then she turned around and went to Su Mo, where she got to know Su Mo and played with him for most of the day. "Is there such a place?" Hephaestus was also surprised, and then suddenly became serious. "Hestia, don't tell anyone about this matter easily in the future."
