Chapter 202 Chili Pepper
There are many possibilities in a person's life. If there had been no time travel, Lu Xiaoxiao's life would have been to work diligently in a company until she was thirty. If she got a promotion and a raise, she would continue working. If it was a staff optimization, she would find an institution to learn childcare and become a nanny or cleaner in the future, saving herself 10 years of detours.
She didn't have any lofty ideals, she just didn't know how many paths there were in the world, but she had never thought of spending her future life by getting married or taking the civil service exam. Now, all those worries disappeared, and the only thing left was a new path.
It's very strange that after entering the animal world, people can suddenly lie down without any psychological pressure, as if they can ignore everything.

After a few days, Yuchuan really quickly prepared some items for Lu Xiaoxiao to use for exchange. The items he provided were all hard currency, so it was easy to exchange for something. He would also take Lu Xiaoxiao with him at that time, but after the experience of the exchange market last time, he probably didn't need to tell Xiaoxiao what the bargaining price for the items was generally.
Xiaoxiao seems to be very thoughtful and she is good at bargaining.
"Bring some sweet meat from the Jiang family." Lu Xiaoxiao felt that this meat could probably be exchanged for something interesting, and if not, she could just eat it on the way.
"Keep it for yourself. I'll bring some other things. It's enough." Yuchuan shook his head in disapproval. He thought that since Xiaoxiao liked it, he shouldn't exchange it. "We don't need that."
Lu Xiaoxiao nodded without arguing: "When will we go out?"
"We are just starting to set up the stalls now. Some of their tribes will be very slow to move. If Xiaoxiao wants to go, she can go now." Yuchuan felt that there were not many people around now, and there would be nothing fun to do if he went.
The exchanges between tribes are not as good as the exchange market. It is really meaningless for them to spend time going there only to see a few people.
"Let's go out for a walk and look for some fragrant fruits or grass in the woods." Lu Xiaoxiao really wanted to make some braised food, or even a chili dip. She really couldn't stand it anymore.
"Okay." Yuchuan packed a bag with a piece of animal skin and hung it on his body. He pinched Lu Xiaoxiao's waist with both hands, skillfully lifted her onto his shoulders, and took her out of the tribe.
There were a few similar people or animals on the road. They looked at each other and said "hmm" as a greeting.
“It seems like everyone likes going there.”
"Females like it, but they seldom go out normally." Yuchuan took her steadily along the path into the forest. He had never brought Xiaoxiao to this area of the mountains before.
Lu Xiaoxiao also discovered that there were many clumps of leeks around!
Moreover, it’s so tender.
"Let's come back and pick that!" Lu Xiaoxiao pointed at the dense leeks excitedly, her eyes shining, "fry that with eggs, it's delicious."
Yuchuan took a look and memorized it: "Okay, you can eat that one."
Xiaoxiao really likes eating vegetables, but as long as they are eaten with meat or eggs, they can also help her gain weight.
Lu Xiaoxiao looked at the lush and green leeks. They were so juicy that it was hard to resist pulling them.
It would be nice if there were chili peppers, as leek skewers are a perennial star product at barbecue stalls.
Chili peppers, chili peppers, must find chili peppers as soon as possible!
Maybe Lu Xiaoxiao's mumbling had worked, she actually saw a bunch of colorful peppers! !
Yes, it’s the colorful lantern peppers that look round and plump, like small light bulbs!
She immediately pointed to the bunch of colorful peppers and said, "Yuchuan, I want that one. Let's pick that one!"
Yuchuan looked in the direction she pointed, and said with a little worry: "My mouth hurts when I eat that. Xiaoxiao, don't think it tastes good just because it looks good."
"I know it, I think it tastes good." There's no soy sauce now, but at least it can be used as chili.
Lu Xiaoxiao was eager to try, but it was a pity that she should have gotten the raw materials of Jiang's sweet meat, but she didn't think of asking them for it. If it was really soy sauce, she would have had pickled colorful peppers to eat.
Many people in her family like to eat this kind of pepper. It goes well with porridge or side dishes. Some people call it lantern pepper, and some people call it colorful pepper. Anyway, in her eyes, it is a good pepper~
The intoxicating aroma and spicy taste made her drool just thinking about it. She looked at the pepper eagerly. She wanted to pull up not only the fruit but also the pepper and plant it on her balcony: "Yuchuan, remember, we will take this tree home when the time comes."
"Uh..." Yuchuan nodded. He moved closer to the peppers, picked one for Lu Xiaoxiao, and reminded her: "If it doesn't taste good, spit it out quickly. It will hurt your mouth."
"I know." When had Lu Xiaoxiao ever eaten random food on her own initiative? She recognized all these foods. She pinched the firm fruit and looked at the purple color covering the round body of the off-white pepper. She liked it very much.
Sure enough, quality life still needs to go out~~
Yuchuan picked some grass leaves and vines on the spot and weaved them into a basket. He picked all the colorful peppers and put them into the basket. These fruits can be kept for a long time after being picked, and Xiaoxiao said that these should be dried in the sun before use.
After noting down the location, Yuchuan continued to walk in the forest with Lu Xiaoxiao. Occasionally, they found mushrooms on tree stumps, and Lu Xiaoxiao asked him to pick them up. In total, they had enough to make a whole dish.
"Are these all edible?" Lu Xiaoxiao didn't recognize many mushrooms.
"Yes." Males are sensitive to poisonous foods. Yuchuan even broke off some leaves and ate them raw to taste them. He is fine now.
"That's good. The soup I make at home tonight will definitely be sweet~" Lu Xiaoxiao said contentedly, "The chili can be used as a seasoning."
Chili refers to the pile of fruits in their frame. Yuchuan doesn't like it very much. He feels his tongue hurts, but Xiaoxiao always makes the food delicious. He has some expectations: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
After walking for about half an hour, the two saw people gathering in the distance not far away from the tribe. This journey was very similar to going to the vegetable market near home to buy vegetables, which was really convenient.
"No one usually sets up a stall?"
"No, because later on everyone will have to hunt and prepare for the big celebration, and then the rainy season will soon come." Yu Chuan shook his head and took Lu Xiaoxiao closer to the stall owner, "Xiaoxiao, look, is there anything you like?"
The unique climate of the forest determines everyone's way of life, so in the limited time, everyone must hurry up and stock up so that they can survive.
"I have some cardamom, which is only available in our tribe."
"I took some seeds, and the fruit looked like this..."
The stalls here are much weaker than the hard goods in the exchange market. Most of them sell specialties or fruits from nearby tribes. It should be almost spring now, and many fruits and plants are growing wildly and are in need of everyone.
There is no shortage of such food in the forest, so people don’t pick a lot. Occasionally, some small prey appear on the stalls, and the chirping sounds are quite lively.
Lu Xiaoxiao won a victory as soon as she went out, and she took advantage of the victory, looking down seriously.
