Chapter 52: Potato Reward Obtained!
“Potatoes?”
“They actually gave me potatoes as a reward!”
Lin Ye was so happy upon hearing that today’s sign-in reward was potato sprouts that he almost jumped off the ground.
Potatoes were the fourth largest staple food on Earth.
Second only to barley, rice, and corn.
Moreover, potatoes contain a large amount of starch, which can provide rich calories to the human body. They are also rich in protein, amino acids, and various vitamins and minerals. Especially their vitamin content is the most comprehensive among all grain crops.
Currently, the main food for the Beast-eared Girls here is meat and berries.
They almost never consume carbohydrates everyday.
Lin Ye had looked at the berries the Beast-eared Girls ate.
There was a berry among them that resembled the yam beans used to make candied hawthorn on Earth.
That was the Beast-eared Girls’ only source of carbohydrates.
If there is a long-term lack of carbohydrate intake.
The entire person will have no strength and will also become irritable.
But before Lin Ye arrived, the Beast-eared Girls had trouble getting enough to eat.
How could they care about nutritional balance? Besides, they didn’t understand these things and just ate whatever they could find.
However, now that they have potatoes, potatoes are rich in carbohydrates.
And the yield is very high, so they no longer have to worry about starving.
In this world, potatoes can be said to be the best reward.
Not for any other reason, but because potatoes are almost inexhaustible.
Potatoes themselves are seeds.
Theoretically, with these one hundred potato sprouts.
It is equivalent to having an infinite supply of potatoes.
Thinking of this, Lin Ye couldn’t help but laugh.
Sakura was attracted by Lin Ye’s laughter and turned to look at him.
The unhappiness she felt earlier was completely forgotten as soon as she turned around.
“Ye, what are you laughing at again?” Sakura noticed that Lin Ye’s laughter was different from when they were by the bonfire earlier.
Now Lin Ye’s laughter sounded more like someone who had won the lottery and was about to embrace a new life.
Lin Ye turned to look at Sakura, excitedly hugged her, and kissed her face repeatedly.
After kissing her, Lin Ye said to Sakura with a smile.
“Sakura, the tribe no longer has to worry about food, and everyone will never go hungry again.”
Sakura was dazed by Lin Ye’s kisses.
But after hearing Lin Ye’s words, she also started laughing with him.
“Really? Ye, everyone won’t have to worry about starving anymore? That’s great!”
Sakura didn’t know that Lin Ye had obtained potato sprouts.
But since Lin Ye said so, Sakura believed him without any doubt.
After laughing for a while, Lin Ye looked at the cute Sakura.
He couldn’t help but look down.
Instantly, Sakura’s eyes widened.
Sakura didn’t understand what this action meant.
Just as Lin Ye was about to take a step further.
“Tread, tread—”
The sound of the night-guard Beast-eared Girls walking suddenly came from outside the tent.
This sudden noise startled the already nervous Sakura, and she instinctively separated from Lin Ye.
After separating, Sakura’s gaze towards Lin Ye was different now.
In Lin Ye’s eyes, Sakura had always been like an ignorant little girl.
This was the first time Lin Ye had seen Sakura like this.
“Ye, what was that just now…” Sakura asked Lin Ye curiously, feeling a bit embarrassed.
For Sakura, this was truly wonderful and an unprecedented experience.
Lin Ye looked at Sakura, smiled, and said, “Do it again, and I’ll tell you what it is.”
“Ye, you’re so naughty,” Sakura pouted and said.
This time, Sakura actively leaned in.
Sakura’s initiative was something Lin Ye had not expected.
…
An hour later.
Seeing Sakura fall asleep soundly.
Lin Ye felt restless, so he decided to leave the tent for a walk.
After leaving the tent, Lin Ye first washed his face.
After washing his face and raising his head, Lin Ye suddenly noticed a patch of green fluorescence not far from the water pipe.
Lin Ye confirmed the direction and found that the place emitting the fluorescence was where the vegetable garden was located.
Lin Ye didn’t think much about it and quickly walked over to check the situation.
Upon entering, Lin Ye discovered that the source of the fluorescence was the one hundred chili peppers and the Sichuan pepper tree.
As he got closer, Lin Ye realized that the fluorescence wasn’t coming from the chili peppers themselves.
Instead, it was the moonlight shining on them and gradually gathering.
The chili peppers and the Sichuan pepper tree were absorbing this fluorescence.
Lin Ye pondered in his heart if this was the legendary absorption of essence from the sun and moon, and drawing the essence of heaven and earth.
No wonder the chili pepper seeds, planted just two days ago, had already grown to nearly thirty centimeters tall.
The Sichuan pepper sapling had also begun to develop from a green sapling into a brown Sichuan pepper tree.
Moreover, Lin Ye watched as they grew at a speed almost visible to the naked eye after absorbing this white fluorescence.
Lin Ye watched for a while, and after confirming that the chili peppers and Sichuan pepper were alright, he turned back to the tent.
After entering the tent, Lin Ye gradually felt sleepy and quietly lay down on the bear hide beside him.
At this moment, Lin Ye noticed.
The temperature had indeed been getting hotter recently.
Especially inside the tent, it was exceptionally stuffy.
However, it was still bearable.
After a while, Lin Ye fell into a deep sleep.
