Transmigrating to the Beastman Continent to Live a Happy Life - Chapter 32

Lei Lu was slowly walking while holding Xiao Xiao, as Xiao Xiao and Xiao Kai searched around and talked. Sure enough, it didn’t take long before Xiao Xiao tugged at his short hair. Although it felt very comfortable, and he wished Xiao Xiao would keep pulling at it, unfortunately it was fleeting.

Wu Xiaoyin pulled Lei Lu’s hair, wanting Lei Lu to put him down so he could carefully examine if the plant was one he was familiar with. However, the two still didn’t seem to have that tacit understanding, so Wu Xiaoyin said, “Lei Lu, put me down. I want to see if the plant under that big black fruit tree is ginger.”

Hearing this, Lei Lu reluctantly put Xiao Xiao down and held his hand as they walked towards the big black fruit tree.

When he heard Wu Xiaoyin’s words, Xiao Kai immediately rushed to the big black fruit tree and pointed at the plants around. “Is this it?”

He then pulled up one of the plants by the roots, exposing the rhizome underneath.

Hearing this, Wu Xiaoyin was quite exasperated and said, “Xiao Kai, don’t tell me you also ate these when you were little?”

Xiao Kai chuckled embarrassedly. He scratched his head and replied, “When I was little, I was quite curious. I would try to put anything I could fit in my mouth, so I did put this in my mouth too. It’s not very good, it’s spicy. Ah, could this be used to prevent fever and keep warm?”

Bin and Lei Lu also turned to look at Wu Xiaoyin after hearing this. Wu Xiaoyin rubbed his nose and said, “Xiao Kai, your spirit of trying is truly admirable. You’re not even afraid of eating something that could harm you. But this is called ginger where I’m from, though here it could be called giant ginger. It does have the effect of preventing fever and keeping warm.”

Bin summarized after listening to this, “So plants that give a spicy sensation, like giant chili and giant ginger, can have the effect of preventing illness?”

After hearing this, Wu Xiaoyin nodded and then shook his head. Everyone was puzzled about what it meant. Wu Xiaoyin said embarrassedly, “I’m not very clear on the specific effects of these plants because I’m not a doctor. The uses of these two plants are just basic common knowledge where I’m from, which is why I know about them. But more professional knowledge, I’m not very clear.”

Bin heard this and asked, “Although it’s a bit disrespectful, I still want to know, since it’s common knowledge, then why does that female Wu Xiaonuo know so much about medicinal herbs and first aid, but…”

Xiao Kai couldn’t help but ask when he heard Bin stop in the middle of his sentence, “But what? But?”

Wu Xiaoyin continued Bin’s sentence, “But that female doesn’t know the most basic common knowledge, right? That’s probably because in our place, these two plants are mainly used as side dishes in cooking. It is estimated that the female either lives in the Giant Wolf Tribe that doesn’t have these plants, or he’s completely clueless about cooking, otherwise it’s hard to explain why the Beastman Continent still hasn’t discovered and better used these plants.”

Wu Xiaoyin shrugged after he finished speaking, indicating that he didn’t know for sure. But to a certain extent, Wu Xiaoyin was right. That female was proficient in six out of seven, but had one thing he was completely clueless about and that was cooking!

Xiao Kai’s divergent thinking emerged again, and he said, “Since that’s the case, the strange-tasting plants and fruits all have various uses. As long as they’re not poisonous, we can try to see if they can be used for other purposes, like…”

Wu Xiaoyin felt Xiao Kai had a good point and asked, “Like what?”
