Elven settlers

Chapter 298 Proper Fermentation
Without Rock's reminder, the geranium, which smelled the fragrance earlier than him, had already walked in the direction of the fragrance first.

Seeing this, Rock and Hei Lujia followed immediately.

If there were no geraniums, Rock would not have dared to go so hastily.

In the Pokémon world, any scent that is suddenly smelled in the wild has a probability of more than 80.00% indicating danger.

This is because many wild grass elves will use sweet aromas to lure other creatures to approach them when hunting, and then turn these people or elves attracted by the aromas into their own nourishment.

Similarly, the grass elves can also tell whether the fragrance is from the same kind or a plant, so if there is a grass elf in the field team, a large part of the risk in this respect can be avoided.

Of course, this is not absolute, and the fragrance emitted by some grass-type elves with special abilities can deceive other grass-type elves.

However, this kind of deception is mainly linked to the strength of the elves. The stronger the strength, the stronger the deception, and vice versa.

Rock is very confident in the strength of his geraniums. At least in the wild around the ranch, he feels that no wild grass elves can fool the geraniums.

Sure enough, after following the geraniums through a short section of woods, a small fruit forest came into view.

There are about five or six fruit trees in this small fruit forest, each tree is about ten meters high, with a spread crown, wide branches and leaves, and pink fruits on it.

The shape of the fruit is heart-shaped, and there are some light pink irregular spots on the skin, which looks very delicious.

"It's peach fruit! It's so fragrant."

Rock, Geranium, and Hei Luga were doing the same thing neatly—closed their eyes and raised their heads slightly to take a deep breath of the sweet peach fragrance in the air.

Rock is no stranger to Taotaoguo, as the most widely distributed tree fruit in the Kanto area, Rock has seen many of them before.

There are [-] peach orchard trees planted in his vegetable garden, but they will not bear fruit until next year.

Ripe peaches are about the size of a fist, with soft flesh and a very sweet and delicious taste.

The peach trees in front of me probably bear more than 200 peach fruits, about half of which are mature, which can be said to directly meet more than half of Rock's needs for this trip.

If it drags on for a long time, it will easily attract other wild elves, so Rock didn't delay, and immediately took the tree fruit bag and geraniums to pick them.

And Helujia kept vigilance around, and drove away the approaching wild elves by the way.

Because the peach fruit is very soft, it will be more difficult to transport.So when Rock was picking, he picked a lot of extra leaves and put them in the fruit bag to cushion them.

Even so, Rock and Geranium's movements were much gentler, so as not to accidentally cause bumps and crush the peaches.

After picking all 126 ripe peach fruits, together with some of the berries collected before, the consumption of the pots and pots in the next two to three weeks has basically been reached.

However, the number of ripe fruit in the Viridian Forest exceeded Rock's expectations, so he didn't plan to return yet, and planned to take this opportunity to collect more fruit to fill the potters.

Rock, Geranium and Heluga stayed in the Viridian Forest for another two hours. The corpses of the two big armors returned to the camp.

"How about the harvest? Ah! What is this?!"

Junsha Yami had finished taking care of the vegetables in the vegetable garden and returned to the camp, where she was teasing a few peas pigeons.

After seeing Roque and the others come back, Junsha Yami put down the Doudou pigeon in her hand and came up to meet them, but was startled when she saw the bloody and hideous big armor on Geranium's back.

"Haha, this is our lunch, high protein."

Rock unloaded the big armor from Geranium's back, and made a gesture to throw it to Junsha Yami, who was suddenly frightened and turned pale.

"Eat this at noon, is it delicious?"

However, although she was a little afraid of Dajia, Junsha Yami, who had a keen sense of observation, noticed that Roque licked the corner of her mouth, and she curiously asked about Dajia's taste.

"Don't worry, it's delicious. If you pair it with honey vinegar, it will definitely be a rare delicacy."

As he spoke, Roque's throat rolled up, and Junsha Yami also suppressed her resistance to Dajia, and swallowed her saliva listening to Roque's description.

Although he couldn't wait to enjoy the delicious food, the pots were still waiting for the fruit, so Rock put Dajia aside first, and started to prepare the items for fermentation.

"Geranium, help me fetch a few buckets of spring water from the Honey Spring."

Fengguo Spring is the name of the mountain spring on the mountain behind the bee farm. Because the mountain spring is relatively close to the bee farm and tree orchard, it was named Fengguo Spring by Rock.

This name was only recently given, for the convenience of marking the location.

Originally, Rock had no intention of naming this spring, but when new pots were added to the pasture, their fermentation required high-quality water.

Although the overall water quality in Rock's ranch is very good, after his personal research, he found that only the mountain spring at the back of the bee farm has the best spring water quality.

So due to the increase in demand, Rock simply gave this spring a name.

"I'm here to help too!"

Junsha Yami also carried a bucket and followed Geranium's footsteps.

Rock did not go with them, but walked towards another oak forest south of the camp with a chainsaw and Heluga.

The last fermentation failed to produce wine because of a common-sense mistake.

Although a kind of good honey vinegar was brewed by accident, as a kind of seasoning vinegar, it can be eaten for a long time once brewed, so Rock still intends to let the pots brew wine.

In order to turn the fermentation environment in the carapace of the pot into an oxygen-free environment, he planned to make some corks to plug the holes in the carapace of the pot.

Doing so will not affect the pots or make them uncomfortable.

Sometimes in the wild, in order to obtain some specific nutrients, the pot will even plug its own holes with branches or stones to change the fermentation environment.

The area of ​​the oak forest that Rock went to was larger than the one next to the Rock camp, but the height and shape of each oak tree were not as good as the oak trees on the other side of the camp.

As the main tree species of the ranch, there are many oak forests like this one in front of Rock on the ranch.

He randomly picked a taller oak tree, and then started the chainsaw to cut off a few branches.

After bringing these oak branches back to the camp, Rock used a hand ax to clean up the small branches on the branches, peeled off the bark, and cut the branches into cylindrical corks with one big end and one small end.

"Hei Lujia, it's up to you next."

Rock put the made corks in front of Heluga, and saw it spit out flames and started to roast the corks.

　Family members, who knows, I just came out of the company's office building, and I can only change it today.

　　But don't worry, I will make up for the lack of this evening this week and make it up for everyone!
