Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 72 Diluting the Flaming Pepper

What shocked Jiang Luoluo the most was that there were several slender wooden bottles, each about the thickness of a finger, which she wondered what they were originally made to store.

However, Jiang Luoluo really needs these containers so that she can have more suitable storage options when she does things later.

In the afternoon, Jiang Luoluo continued sharpening her double-sided stone axe. Without the extra decorations to distract her, she was twice as fast in the afternoon as in the morning.

Only half of the afternoon classes had been held when the rain suddenly intensified, so much so that teaching could not continue and all the children had to be sent home to avoid the rain.

Jiang Luoluo brought her straw raincoat with her when she went out, so she didn't get wet in the rain much.

However, when I got home, I was still quite wet, as rainwater kept splashing up.

Jiang Luoluo consciously changed into dry clothes and took the initiative to warm herself by the fire.

There wasn't even time for Hei to say anything to her.

The fire had only been burning for a short while when Mao rushed over in the rain, carrying something in his arms.

"Why did you bring a wooden basin too..." Brown had just started to speak when he noticed that there was something else in the wooden basin in Mao's arms.

Brown remembered the wooden basin he had seen at Mao's house yesterday. His eyes swept over the air above the water tank and, sure enough, he saw that one of the four rabbits was missing.

"Luo said that it can be cooked after soaking for a day, and it has been soaking for a day now," Mao said earnestly.

The cubs were soaked in water at the same time yesterday, but now it's been exactly one day, not a bit more or less.

The rabbit in the basin pulled Jiang Luoluo out of her reverie, which she had been engrossed in crafting. Jiang Luoluo blinked. Oh right, she still had one rabbit left to eat.

Jiang Luoluo originally intended to keep it a secret from He, but since He had caught her in the act from the beginning, she decided to openly become a witch.

As long as Jiang Luoluo didn't do anything too outrageous, He wouldn't stop her. So, she stopped being secretive and started her experiment openly in front of He.

Jiang Luoluo wouldn't try eating raw roasted chili peppers, nor would she let Mao try it.

After hearing what the shaman said that day, and learning that some orc warriors could eat roasted chili peppers as a snack, Jiang Luoluo's thoughts became very clear.

Why didn't she find an orc warrior to help her try?

Eating it alone is pure self-torture, but for those orc warriors who love roasted chili peppers, it's just a special treat, and might even be a good thing.

In any case, breeding is a long process, and Jiang Luoluo felt that it would be good if she could achieve some results before adulthood. She didn't have any idea of ​​achieving her goal overnight.

But while preparing for the breeding mission, these peppers cannot be wasted; we must find a way to make them edible... What if the breeding fails?

First, soak the roasted chili peppers in water to dilute their spiciness; you taste the water.

The taster was Mao, since only Mao and Jiang Luoluo had tasted the original Huoshao Huajiao (a type of spicy chili pepper) and knew its spiciness, so they could make a comparison and confirm the effect.

Both He and Mao disagreed with Jiang Luoluo trying it herself, and they each fought for the opportunity until Mao pointed out that if He wanted to taste the Huoshaohua water, he had to eat a piece of Huoshaohua first.

Brown gave up competing with Mao. It wasn't that Brown was afraid of the Fire Flower and dared not try, but rather that he had so clearly opposed the cub and Mao stealing the Fire Flower before, and now he was being asked to try it in front of the cub, which was really unreasonable.

In order to firmly stop the cub's dangerous ideas, Brown had no choice but to back down and give the opportunity to Mo.

To fully utilize the effects of the roasted chili peppers, Jiang Luoluo crushed a whole roasted chili pepper before soaking it in a wooden bowl.

Mao simply scooped up a little water with a wooden spoon, put it in his mouth, and before he could even swallow, his expression instantly changed.

Jiang Luoluo already knew the outcome without Mao even having to explain.

Even after a whole basin of water had been poured in, Mao was still shaking his head, and Jiang Luoluo realized something was wrong.

This large basin of water is the amount that would normally be used in a stone pot, but the whole basin of water couldn't dilute the spiciness of the roasted chili peppers, which means... you can't put even a single chili pepper in the pot.

Not to be outdone, Jiang Luoluo chopped a chili pepper into pieces of half, third, quarter, fifth, and tenth, and soaked them in a basin of water in that order.

Fortunately, there were various wooden basins that had just been delivered, otherwise Jiang Luoluo wouldn't have been able to conduct such a wide range of experiments.

The final result was quite unexpected—the spiciness of the Sichuan peppercorns could not be diluted with water.

It's not that it can't be diluted with water, but rather that it requires more water.

However, if the amount exceeds the capacity of a stone pot, dilution is not really necessary. In the end, Jiang Luoluo still wanted to make the roasted chili peppers a seasoning in cooking.

Instead of conducting a scientific experiment to reduce the spiciness of Sichuan peppercorns by adding a certain amount of water.

Jiang Luoluo was not discouraged and quickly came up with a new testing method. Soaking in cold water was useless, so what about boiling in hot water?

Can you reduce the spiciness of the Sichuan peppercorns?
