Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 85 Searching for Sour Fruits

Some things are very illogical, like talent.

Some people work diligently and risk their lives to bring back enough prey in each hunting trip to ensure the continuation of their families.

Like Mao's father, Ke, and countless ordinary people in the tribe.

Some people are so powerful that even if they have many flaws and shortcomings, they can still obtain several times more food for survival through overwhelming strength and intimidating talent.

Like red, like a spear.

Jiang Luoluo's concern should probably be whether she can learn from someone with extraordinary talent, rather than whether she has the opportunity to be taught in this way.

However, such topics were still far removed from the cub's life, so Brown simply offered a few words of comfort, telling the cub not to worry or overthink, and then didn't continue the conversation.

The more important thing right now is to make fruit wine.

The shaman highly valued fruit wine, as alcohol played a vital role in the tribe's life.

Jiang Luoluo had no choice but to rack her brains for the few bits of knowledge she had about winemaking, hoping to increase her chances of success. Besides the simplest method of natural fruit fermentation into alcohol, she could also try to improve her winemaking success rate.

The two essential ingredients for artificially making fruit wine are sugar and acid. The sugar is white granulated sugar, and the acid is citric acid. Jiang Luoluo didn't quite remember the principle behind it, and she wasn't a student of this field.

There was no white sugar available. Jiang Luoluo stared at the water pear for a long time, and irresponsibly regarded it as a lower-level substitute for white sugar. After all, this kind of fruit with a pure, sweet taste was already the best choice Jiang Luoluo had.

Unless Jiang Luoluo can find a sugarcane plant, it will be impossible to make real white sugar.

Since there was no citric acid, Jiang Luoluo began to select the more sour fruit from several options. The tangerine fruit somewhat met the criteria, but Jiang Luoluo had eaten lemons before, and the difference in sourness between the two was quite significant, so it probably didn't meet her requirements.

Jiang Luoluo simply couldn't bring herself to treat him as a subordinate replacement, going against her conscience.

Fortunately, Jiang Luoluo is no longer fighting alone. She remembered that He had said that Wu had asked Chi to help her make fruit wine, and that she could ask Chi for help with anything she needed.

Then asking Chi to find a fruit similar to a lemon should also work, right?

Just as dusk was falling, Mao and Chi returned with a large pile of fruit.

Mao had several more wounds on his body, suggesting that he had encountered some accidents along the way, but neither Mao nor Chi mentioned it, so Jiang Luoluo didn't ask.

While everyone was present, Jiang Luoluo and Chi raised their requests, which were then translated by He and Mao.

"Luo, do you want some particularly sour fruit?" Chi thought for a moment, but did not question Jiang Luoluo's request.

After all, the witch had already told Chi that he should fully cooperate with and fulfill all of Jiang Luoluo's needs. Therefore, Chi only needed to do things according to the cub's requirements, instead of questioning or speculating about the cub's reasons for wanting these things or their purpose.

Chi is very clear about what he should think about and what he shouldn't think about.

Things that require thinking should be left to people who have brains.

So, upon hearing the cub's request, Akari immediately listed out the fruits that met the requirements in his mind.

Two of the fruits were found in the cave; they were among the fruits that Chi had picked before.

However, Jiang Luoluo had already tasted all the fruits in the cave. Although the two fruits were indeed sour, they had the same anti-sweetness characteristic as the Huigan fruit, which did not meet Jiang Luoluo's requirements.

Jiang Luoluo wanted the pure sour kind, the kind that would make people's faces contort from the sourness.

Watching the cub scrunch up her little face, demonstrating just how sour the fruit she wanted was, Brown and Shigeru exchanged a glance, pursed their lips to suppress their laughter, and turned to Red to express themselves verbally.

Cough... It's a real shame that Chi can't see clearly.

Red General insisted on recording everything, planning to search the Taz Forest again early the next morning. After all, it was already dark and raining heavily outside, so there was no need to push himself so hard.

Before leaving, Akane and Shigeru agreed on a meeting place for the next morning so that Akane wouldn't have to take a detour to get there. Shigeru seriously agreed.

After seeing the two off, Jiang Luoluo pondered the matter of making fruit wine.

Since the witch wants her to do more, the bottles and jars in the cave are not enough and need to be replaced with larger containers.

Since that's the case, let's go find some more tomorrow morning and exchange them.
