Chapter 204 No Name +2
Jiang Luoluo ultimately did not leave any other reward.
Not only did she not leave any payment, she also took Rong's first "roadside flower" stone painting back to her own home.
The reason was simple: Rong really liked Xing so much that he insisted on giving Jiang Luoluo this stone painting of roadside flowers as a gift.
Jiang Luoluo couldn't refuse Rong's request, and since she really liked the painting of roadside flowers, she shamelessly accepted it.
After Rong and Xing agreed on a time to meet again, Jiang Luoluo and Ge escorted Xing back home.
Although Xing was able to walk around the tribe on her own after getting a cane, it was still inconvenient for her to be alone. Moreover, Jiang Luoluo brought her here, so naturally she had to take her back.
They had only gone halfway when the three of them bumped into Ping, who looked somewhat anxious.
Ping probably returned from Xiaoshishan a little early today, and when he got home he found that Xing was not at home, so he quickly followed the trail and went out to look for her.
The marks left by Xing's cane are relatively easy to distinguish.
Upon seeing the water lily, the tense expression on the face relaxed.
"Ping, what brings you here?" Xing asked with a smile, her face beaming with undisguised joy, clearly indicating that she had encountered something very happy.
Ping's eyebrows twitched slightly, then he smiled and replied, "I found you weren't home, so I came out to look for you... Did something good happen?"
Ping knows that Xing has difficulty moving around and that going out is troublesome, so he is always worried about Xing's safety. However, Ping does not stop Xing from going out, but thinks that it might be better if he could go with Xing.
However, Xing doesn't really like relying on her younger brother... Perhaps because she had relied too much on her family in her previous life, she tried even harder to be "independent" after gaining some ability to act on her own.
At its core, it all stems from care and concern for family members.
Jiang Luoluo and Ge didn't disturb the siblings' conversation. They greeted each other and then went their separate ways to their respective homes.
Upon returning home, Jiang Luoluo immediately washed the popsicle molds she had made, then poured in the jam mixture and placed them at the entrance of the cave, preparing to try making popsicles.
They also took a clean wooden basin, filled it with a lot of water, and placed it outside, intending to freeze it into ice cubes and then make it into shaved ice.
The tools for making the smoothie were also prepared—a stone mortar and pestle for crushing garlic or medicine, a stone bowl, and a pestle.
This wasn't Jiang Luoluo's doing; it was something that already existed in the tribe.
It is mainly a tool used by shamans to make herbs, so that they can grind and crush them more finely, or extract juice.
Some families also prepare food to mash and feed to children who haven't grown teeth yet.
After all, once a woman in the tribe has given birth and her body has recovered to a normal state, she has to go back to hunting and cannot stay at home raising her child forever.
Therefore, children in the tribe have to get used to eating and drinking meat paste from a few months old.
In short, once Jiang Luoluo learned about this thing, she immediately discovered its use: it could be used to crush ice into a fine shaved ice!
The next morning, Jiang Luoluo woke up several tens of minutes earlier than usual, which made Ge shake his head.
With things looming ahead, the cubs no longer like to sleep in.
As the weather got colder, Jiang Luoluo increasingly preferred to stay in bed a few more minutes after waking up each morning.
After putting on thick clothes, Jiang Luoluo ran out to check the two things that had gotten cold the night before.
The water in the basin was only frozen on the top layer, while the water below was still rippling and swaying slightly, like a crystal ball, and there was a gurgling sound coming from inside.
Although the ice layer wasn't thick enough, removing the ice blocks from the top actually suited Jiang Luoluo's idea.
Seeing how frozen the water in the basin was, one can imagine what was happening inside the popsicle molds.
Sure enough, only the outer layer of the popsicle mold was frozen, and it wasn't even as solid as the water in the basin; it was the kind of popsicle that would break at the slightest touch.
After all, the basin only had a wooden lid to prevent dust from settling on it, leaving enough gaps for cold air to enter, while the popsicle molds were tightly sealed, making it a little difficult for them to freeze.
However, Jiang Luoluo wasn't exactly disappointed; she simply closed the popsicle mold again.
If it doesn't freeze in one day, then freeze it for a few more days.
With temperatures so low every day, it will freeze completely very quickly.
Of course, compared to that, it's better to try the taste of shaved ice!
"Hey, try this!"
