Chapter 511 Fried Pork with Bamboo Shoots
After completely defeating General Pudao, the subsequent handling was not as troublesome as Luo Mu had imagined.
General Pudao, who was tragically "stripped of his armor", was completely humiliated. He moved to the edge of the bamboo forest overnight with his tribesmen in shame.
And those wild Pokémon of other species living in this bamboo forest have also returned here one after another to start their lives again.
Luo Mu brought Erguiyan and the others back to the bamboo forest and brought the good news to Rhodes and Phil.
Looking at the Erkuei, the Skillful Blacksmith and the Burning Bug puffing out their chests, looking proud of getting rid of harm to the people, Luo Mu smiled gently, picked up the camera and took a photo as a souvenir.
Rod and Phil were also very considerate and praised the three Pokémon so much that they were almost embarrassed.
Thinking that the two of them might know something, Luo Mu asked, "Do you know that at the edge of the bamboo forest, probably near the Luanji Waterfall, there is a fruit forest with a large number of fruit-eating insects?"
The two looked at each other, and Rhodes replied, "I'm sorry."
"We just arrived here, and because the news is not circulated, we are not aware of this matter."
As soon as they were traveling and passing through this bamboo forest, they encountered the incident where General Pudao led his tribe to rob people on the road. They had never heard of such a related incident.
Perhaps those travelers or trainers knew the situation, but because of General Sergeant and the others, those people had no mood to talk about it and just left in a hurry.
However, why does Luo Mu care about those fruit-eating insects?
Seeing that the two looked confused, Luo Mu did not continue to ask.
As if he had anticipated their doubts, Luo Mu took out another Poké Ball and said, "Come out, Feng Mi Long."
Red light flashes.
The Feng Mi Dragon appeared, which was actually not very big, even smaller than the Burning Bug.
“Pulu~”
Fortunately, because its body size has become larger and it can no longer hide in the apple, Fengmilong's personality has changed a lot.
When seeing strangers like Phil and Rod, he would not shrink into his shell in fear, but would raise his eyes and greet them in a simple and honest manner.
Looking into Feng Milong's eyes, Phil covered his mouth in surprise.
"Hey, are these eyes? I thought they were ears!"
Rhodes twitched his nose slightly and sniffed the air carefully.
"It smells so good. Even though I can't take a sip, I can still feel the sweetness that can't be ignored."
If Rhodes were to make an analogy, it would be like when he was a child and traveled with his parents to other places to participate in local festivals, and the taste of the bunch of apples covered with honey that he bought from the rows of stalls was in his mouth.
It is sweet while retaining the original flavor of apple. The amazing feeling brought by the combination of the two still lingers in his mind.
Rhodes looked at Honeydragon. He was familiar with this Pokémon. Some people in the academy used Honeydragon as their partner, as well as Appledragon or Fruitworm.
But none of those Pokémon had ever emitted such a wonderful scent as Feng Mi Long.
Touching Feng Mi Long's apple helmet, he explained with a smile, "I mentioned before that my main job now is a farmer, so I plan to try my luck and see if I can subdue a few fruit-eating worms and bring them back to the farm."
"Don't be fooled by their appearance. These fruit-eating insects are experts when it comes to fruit."
Without any intention of keeping anything to himself, Luo Mu told the two of them the general relationship between fruit bugs and fruit trees.
"Fruit worms feed on fruit, and they can also help the fruit of fruit trees grow better. There is absolutely no such knowledge in books!"
Phil was a little excited. He clasped his hands together, and his cheeks turned slightly red because of his emotional fluctuations.
She just felt that Luo Mu was not only powerful but also knowledgeable. He was really amazing. No wonder he could become the dean of studies!
Compared to Phil, who was keen on knowledge, Rod's reaction was completely different.
He stared at the fruit pie lace skin on Feng Milong's back again and subconsciously wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
It looks exactly like the griddle crust on the apple pie my mom baked at home, and it even smells sweeter.
This thought suddenly popped up in his mind, and Rhodes could only apologize to his mother at home with guilt.
But this one smells really good.
Phil also came over and stared at Feng Milon's back. His quiet look disappeared and a greedy expression appeared.
The two people who had nothing to do with the farm had no idea that Luo Mu had casually told them the business secrets of Beishang Township, and they didn't even realize the value of this information.
All I can think of is the fruit pie lace skin on Fengmilong's back
While he was amused, thinking that the Erguiyans had just gone through an incredibly strenuous battle, Luo Mu simply invited the two of them, "We're planning to take a break and have lunch. Do you want to join us?"
"There's also dessert after dinner."
Luo Mu cast a suggestive look at the two of them.
The two foodies' eyes lit up and they responded excitedly, "Please take us with you!"
In no time.
Wisps of smoke rose from the open space that Luo Mu found. Since they were in the wild, Luo Mu didn't prepare much food.
Except for some homemade seasonings that are rarely sold outside, he sources most of the ingredients locally, and only a few are already prepared.
There are many treasures hidden in the bamboo forest behind.
After working for an hour, Luo Mu quickly brought out the steaming meal.
For example, there is stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat, which is made by slicing fresh bamboo shoots found in the field and adding some tender meat slices. There is also a soup made by stewing fresh bamboo shoots, bamboo fungus collected from the roots of dead bamboo, and some side dishes.
The staple food is bamboo tube rice made by washing some fresh bamboo tubes, putting glutinous rice, green beans, diced carrots and the bacon brought by Luo Mu into them.
Finally, add a portion of fresh bamboo tube grilled fish for each person or Pokémon, and a simple lunch is ready.
What, someone asked Luo Mu where he found the fresh and lively fish?
Anyway, it’s not fishing.
He just quietly ran with Kuailong to the waterfall, and with a flash of some light, the fish consciously entered the scoop net in Luo Mu's hand.
When Rhodes and Phil saw the table of steaming hot food prepared by Luo Mu, they were stunned.
Then, tears accidentally flowed down.
Phil, as a girl, hadn't cried yet, but Rhodes was crying and complaining to Luo Mu, complaining about the hard life they had when they were traveling in the wild.
They have to eat dry food every day. If they get lost accidentally, the food they carry is exhausted and they haven't found a city for supplies, they can only perform wilderness survival.
God knows the last time they had a hot meal was several months ago.
Especially the meals prepared by Luo Mu were super delicacies that they had never eaten before, but they completely amazed their taste buds!
Listening to the two people's complaints, Luo Mu felt the same way. When he first started traveling, due to lack of funds, he and Luke Cat relied on resources in the wild to fill their stomachs.
Life is getting better now.
Looking at the way the Artificer Blacksmith, Eruption, and Dragonite were feasting on the food, Luo Mu couldn't help but take out his camera and took another photo of them. He then transferred the photo to his mobile phone, connected to the Internet, and sent it to Zhihuixing and the King of the Flower Crown in the game online.
After a hearty meal, Luo Mu, impressed by the freshness and sweetness of the bamboo shoots, agreed, after much persuasion from the skilled blacksmith, to transplant a batch of bamboos to the hill in the future, so that he could eat delicious winter bamboo shoots during the winter.
For dessert, Luo Mu brought the Baofen, which was covered with the fruit pie lace crust from the back of the Fengmi dragon, and finally drizzled with a sweet calorie bomb.
This kind of dessert may have excessive calories for Luo Mu, but for two people who felt that they had lost more than ten pounds due to starvation, it was simply the ultimate delicacy.
afternoon.
After Rhodes and Phil thanked Luo Mu solemnly, they set off to continue their journey.
The two also said that they would definitely visit Luo Mu again when they return to their alma mater after this trip.
Luo Mu didn't intend to force any return.
I invited them to dinner just because of the chance encounter and their good character of stopping people outside the bamboo forest. Rounding it off, they could be considered students whom I had never met in the past.
Judging from the route the two are taking, it's almost certain that their target is Frost Mountain.
Frost Mountain is the most precipitous frozen mountain range in Padia. The two probably want to complete their goal as soon as possible before the winter blizzard arrives.
In this regard, all Luo Mu could do was to contact Mr. Tran of Freezer Town and ask him to help if he met the two people and they were in some trouble.
After doing all this, Luo Mu picked up his backpack and walked into the bamboo forest again.
He felt a lot more relaxed because the two of them insisted on washing the dishes and cleaning up after the meal.
at the same time.
Deep in the mining mountains outside Xueza Town, the iron warrior who was sitting in meditation opened his eyes and scanned the surrounding environment again.
After confirming that the Blue Flame Blade Ghost had not arrived yet, it slowly closed its eyes and quietly waited for its nemesis to arrive.
The rushing waterfall violently washed the rocks and the pool water. A few silly-looking Pikachus poked their heads out of the water, and their three tufts of hair swayed slightly under the splashing water.
Holding their aching heads with both hands, several Pikachus left the pool in unison with their big, dull eyes wide open.
They walked in a line across the moist land, then to the soft grass. Then they raised their heads and stared blankly at the fruit trees full of fruits. Suddenly, a glimmer of desire appeared in their dull eyes.
At this time.
Several red apples were placed on the heads of the Psyducks one by one by a pair of big hands.
"If you don't mind, take it and eat it."
Luo Mu smiled and waved at them, then turned and left.
Although all their actions seem stupid, these Psyducks have an excellent sense of body balance.
You can see at a glance that the plump apples are firmly resting on their heads without any sign of shaking.
These Psyducks didn't care that the apple was pressing down on their only three hairs which would disappear after evolution. Instead, they stared at Luo Mu with dull eyes as he walked away. No one knew what they were thinking.
A little while later.
Several Psyducks moved together.
They just exerted their heads slightly and pushed the apples into the air.
When the apple in the air falls from the sky following the guidance of gravity, the Psyducks tilt their heads back and open their flat mouths, like a basketball net waiting in place, expecting the apple to hit them.
The apple did hit the target, but it hit the heads of the Psyducks.
After a few crisp sounds, a few apples rolled down to the grass, but the Psyducks seemed to have crashed, as if they didn't feel any pain. They stood there for a while, then moved in unison to pick up the apples, swallowed them whole, and showed satisfied expressions.
By the time they lined up and returned to the pool, they seemed to realize the belated pain, and they let out miserable screams and rolled around in the water.
same moment.
Luo Mu also returned to the depths of the orchard.
Giving the remaining apples in the basket to the greedy burning bug, he sat down on the ground. Soon, his body was covered with fruit-gnawing bugs.
All I could hear was the chirping sounds of fruit worms.
The same situation happened with Feng Milong nearby.
Thanks to General Pudao and his men, there were no sightseeing tourists at either the Luanji Waterfall or the fruit forest deeper in the bamboo woods, giving Luo Mu a weird and refreshing feeling of having the entire area to himself.
In fact, only about two hours had passed since he entered the orchard.
The reason why there are so many fruit-eating insects around me is all thanks to Feng Milong.
As an evolved form, it seemed to be very popular with these fruit gnawing bugs. Even though most of them were more or less unwilling to approach them due to their innate character, there were still a few naturally brave fruit gnawing bugs that gathered around them.
Just as Mr. Sean said, this orchard is indeed in the midst of a "mass infestation of fruit-eating insects." It can even be said that the number of these insects is much greater than that in the game.
Not counting the fruitworms that maintained their disguise as apples, the fruitworms he had witnessed numbered no less than a hundred, and the fruitworms that gathered around him and Feng Milong numbered more than twenty.
Luo Mu asked Feng Milong to inquire about the wishes of these fruit-eating insects to see if any of them were willing to leave with him and live in the orchard on the farm.
The results were equally encouraging. More than half of the fruit-eating worms became interested in the farm environment described by Feng Milon and agreed to go back with them.
Luo Mu also promised them that they only needed to live in the orchard and take care of the fruit trees with Fengmilong. There would be enough food and safety was beyond doubt.
In the eyes of these fruit-eating insects, it doesn't matter where you live. If they follow their strong fellow species away, they may be safer.
Besides, no matter what their characteristics are, it is their instinct to grow together with the fruit trees.
According to Luo Mu's statistics, a total of fourteen fruit-eating worms chose to leave with Luo Mu and Feng Milong.
Among them, eight have the "Mature" trait, five have the "Greedy" trait, and only one has the hidden/dream trait "Bulletproof".
