Chapter 94: The Whole Body is Tingling!
Lin Ye took the potatoes and continued, “Then, place the potatoes on the leaves.”
The other Beast-eared Girls watched Lin Ye’s actions, also spreading a layer of leaves into the pit, and then fetched several potatoes to place inside.
Lin Ye watched as all the potatoes were distributed and continued, “Next, cover the potatoes with another layer of leaves. Make sure to wrap the potatoes completely.”
“Then, bury the soil back and fill the pit.”
The Beast-eared Girls followed Lin Ye’s actions and filled the pits. Lin Ye continued, “Finally, start a bonfire on top of this pit, and the potatoes will be roasted.”
Lin Ye took some burning firewood from the bonfire nearby and placed it on top of the pit that had just been filled.
Then he added a few more pieces of firewood.
“Just like this, wait for the bonfire to burn out, and the potatoes below will be cooked. Then you can dig them out and eat them.”
After burying the pits and starting fires on top as Lin Ye had shown, the Beast-eared Girls looked on curiously.
Shi, with doubt in their eyes, looked curiously at the bonfire and then asked Lin Ye, “Ye, if the potatoes are underground, can they be cooked by starting a fire above them?”
Seeing Shi’s curious expression, Lin Ye smiled and nodded, then explained to Shi, “Yes, and this way, the baked potatoes won’t lose moisture, so they won’t be dry when eaten.”
After Lin Ye finished speaking, not only Shi, but all the Beast-eared Girls around nodded as if they understood.
After listening to Lin Ye’s explanation, Shi sat aside thoughtfully.
Soon, the flames completely died down.
Lin Ye let the potatoes steam for a while longer, then used a wooden stick to push all the embers from the burnt fire to the side.
After the fire had burned out, the sand and soil on the ground that had been scorched had lost its moisture and turned white.
Lin Ye carefully used the wooden stick to peel back the sand and soil layer by layer.
As the sand and soil were peeled away, waves of heat rose from below.
Slowly, the leaves that had covered the potatoes began to appear.
The once green leaves had now turned a dull dark brown.
Lin Ye used the wooden stick to lift the leaves, revealing the roasted potatoes underneath.
The moment the leaves were lifted, a fragrant aroma of potatoes instantly filled the air.
The potatoes roasted by the other bonfires were also uncovered by the Beast-eared Girls, revealing their true appearance.
A rich, fragrant aroma instantly wafted through the open space.
The Beast-eared Girls were almost intoxicated by the smell.
Lin Ye, smelling the fragrant aroma, also felt his appetite whetted.
Feeling that the potatoes had cooled down enough, Lin Ye picked up a thin wooden stick.
He speared the potatoes one by one and handed them to the Beast-eared Girls.
Finally, Lin Ye took the last potato left in the pit and sat down to the side.
Each of these potatoes was as big as a bottle of strong beer, and one person definitely couldn’t finish it.
Holding a potato in one hand, Lin Ye beckoned, calling Sakura over.
Sakura had been drooling with anticipation for a long time.
Seeing Lin Ye call her, she scrambled over on all fours, looking at Lin Ye with eager eyes.
Lin Ye looked at Sakura’s appearance, grinned, and then split the potato in his hand in half, handing one piece to Sakura.
Sakura took the potato, her back molars showing in her happiness.
Then, she eagerly hugged the potato and started to bite into it.
After taking a bite, experiencing the soft, sweet taste of the potato, Sakura closed her eyes in comfort.
Lin Ye also lowered his head and took a bite of the potato.
Roasting the potatoes this way brought out all their sweetness, making them exceptionally delicious.
“Oh my god, this is too delicious.”
“Wow, these roasted potatoes are so sweet.”
Lin Ye listened to the constant exclamations around him, eating his potato bite by bite.
After eating half a potato, Lin Ye already felt a little full.
Not to mention the Beast-eared Girls.
One by one, their bellies were bulging, and Sakura’s small stomach was particularly round. She was lying on the ground, patting her stomach.
Potatoes are actually a staple food. It can be said that tonight, the Beast-eared Girls ate a belly full of staple food.
After consuming carbohydrates, people feel a sense of happiness. Gradually, the Beast-eared Girls all lay down.
Lin Ye also lay on the ground, looking at the moon in the sky, and thought, “I wonder if the moon I see here is the same moon as the one on Earth.”
After resting for a while, the Beast-eared Girls got up and returned to their tents to sleep.
Lin Ye also stood up, picked up the groggy Sakura, and headed for the tent.
Sakura, lying on Lin Ye’s shoulder, was drowsy and seemed to see something to eat again.
Then she bit Lin Ye’s ear.
Lin Ye shivered all over from Sakura’s bite, feeling a tingling sensation all over his body. He almost dropped Sakura in his arms.
Lin Ye endured the tickling sensation and walked towards the tent with Sakura in his arms.
Upon entering the tent, Lin Ye quickly threw Sakura onto the straw mat.
But then, Lin Ye felt that the tent was incredibly stuffy.
Sakura, in her half-awake state, also felt very hot.
Unconsciously, she began to lift the beast skin on her body.
A glimpse of her small figure immediately appeared.
Lin Ye narrowed his eyes at the sight.
But just then, Sakura, half asleep and half awake, wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth and pulled the beast skin she had lifted back down.
Lin Ye’s mouth twitched.
Lin Ye was also unbearable from the heat, lying on the straw mat and sweating profusely.
Lin Ye now desperately missed the air conditioners and fans on Earth.
Sakura rolled around from the heat, while Lin Ye was so hot he couldn’t sleep.
Lin Ye opened the system store, looking for anything that could relieve the heat.
Having just entered summer and finding it so difficult to endure, Lin Ye couldn’t imagine what the future would hold.
Upon opening the system store, Lin Ye looked at the 12,300 points he had accumulated from today’s rewards plus sign-ins, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Now Lin Ye had enough points to exchange for the Plant Encyclopedia.
However, Lin Ye was not in a hurry to exchange for the Plant Encyclopedia. Right now, he wanted to find something to relieve the heat.
Lin Ye scrolled back and forth and finally found a purely mechanical fan that didn’t require electricity in the item shelf.
But when he saw the price below the fan, Lin Ye almost cursed.
The system was charging a whopping 200,000 points for one fan.
Lin Ye became increasingly angry as he thought about the price and couldn’t help but ask the system in his mind, “System, don’t you have a 618 sale? Can’t you offer a discount?”
“Ding! The system advises the host not to have unrealistic expectations. Even if there were a discount, this system would raise the prices in advance to ensure the host buys the system store’s items at the original price.”
Lin Ye listened to the system’s arrogant reply in his mind, wanting to argue with the system.
But he didn’t know how to refute it, and finally, he lay back down in despair.
He began to review the memories and knowledge in his mind, trying to see if there was any way to get through the summer.
But apart from the universally known but completely useless saying, “A calm mind naturally cools down,” Lin Ye couldn’t think of anything else.
Lying there, Lin Ye was too hot to sleep, and Sakura beside him had already stuck out her tongue to cool herself.
Since he couldn’t sleep, Lin Ye lay there and started to take stock of what skills and knowledge the system had rewarded him with.
Lin Ye counted them one by one, the first being pottery making.
At this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck Lin Ye. He suddenly remembered a niche piece of knowledge he had seen in short videos in his past life!
“Pottery, pottery? Pottery!”
“That’s right! The turquoise glaze used in pottery is made with saltpeter. Saltpeter can be directly used to make ice!”
Lin Ye thought of this, excitedly slapped the ground, and sat up directly.
His eyes were filled with excitement.
Sakura’s tent was like this, and the other Beast-eared Girls must not be feeling any better.
Only the cave would be a bit better, but there was no wind in the cave, so it was still hot.
Now, as long as he could find saltpeter, he could put it in water and make ice.
Wasn’t this the best way to relieve the heat?
The knowledge of pottery making had already told Lin Ye what saltpeter looked like, and where saltpeter mines were most likely to be found.
Lin Ye decided to depart early tomorrow morning to search for saltpeter.
He didn’t want to endure another night of this stuffy heat.
Despite this, Lin Ye was still too hot to sleep.
As a last resort, Lin Ye went to the well again, took off all his clothes, and poured a bucket of well water over his head. Only then did he feel a little cooler. He returned to the tent without wearing any clothes and fell asleep in the momentary coolness.
(This is a bad example. Pouring cold water directly on yourself like this can cause cardiac arrest and send you to the Pig-headed Man’s place. Do not imitate. The protagonist has taken the Strength Pill and is not afraid.)
