In order to improve everyone's favorable impression of soybeans, Zhu Yuanyuan cut a piece of fat from the mutated wild boar brought back by his teammates and refined it into oil. He fried it first and then boiled it. He added salt and a little five-spice powder for seasoning, and cooked a stone pot full of it for everyone. Got a lot.
The five-spice soybeans were eaten with barbecued meat. They tasted pretty good. No one disliked them. Only those who couldn't get enough of them decided to focus on the remaining basket of soybeans.
Tu Yuan stuck to the bottom line this time, "You can't eat the rest. Let Yuanyuan take it back to the tribe to show the leader tomorrow."
"We can pick again tomorrow morning," one team member suggested.
"If it doesn't work, it won't work," Tu Yuan said with a straight face, "When the seeds come out and you can eat them, why are you so anxious?"
Seeing that it didn't make sense, everyone could only give up with regret.
Tu Yuan felt bitter, and he also wanted to eat more, but there were hundreds of people in the team, how much would they eat if they really opened their mouths?
If the leader brought someone here tomorrow and noticed something was wrong, he wouldn't know how to explain it.
Zhu Yuanyuan also disagreed. Although soybeans are good, eating too much can easily cause abdominal distension.
Except for her, everyone present was an adult. They were not annoyed at being rejected and continued to eat meat happily. For some reason, the topic changed to the heated ondol, and someone asked curiously.
"Yuanyuan, is that kang really as comfortable as you say in the snow season?"
"I can't say for sure, it depends on each person's feelings," Zhu Yuanyuan replied seriously, "I really like it. It's very warm after burning the kang, and it also saves firewood."
"It's really useful," Tu Yuan said dully, "I've already put it on the bed. It's not too cold now. Adding a few sticks of firewood before going to bed will keep you warm all night. I don't want to get up early."
"Oh, that's not okay," Baiyin joked, "it would affect people's enthusiasm for work too much."
Tu Yuan rolled his eyes, "It seems like you are so active in your work."
"That's right," Bai Qing took the opportunity to complain, "Baiyin, you are a lazy guy. You have been very lazy since you got married. You don't want to get up when the sun is shining on you every day."
Baiyin chuckled, "What do you know if you don't have a partner~"
"Do you have to be a couple to understand?" Bai Qing was dissatisfied, "Isn't it just that it's warmer when two people huddle together? I'll sit on the bed to experience it later."
"It's different," Bai Yin shook his head, sullen, "If you don't believe me, ask Brother Yuan."
Tu Yuan said with a wooden face, "Sorry, I'm not married either, so I don't understand."
"Ah~" Baiyin sighed, "Brother Yuan, you are not young anymore, why haven't you found a partner yet?"
For an ordinary male orc, it is normal for him to be weak in combat and not liked by females. However, Tu Yuan was once the great wizard of the rabbit tribe. As long as he wanted to, it was easy to find a mate, and it is not difficult even now.
Assistant to the great witch and captain of the herb collection team, no matter who you are, they are bonus points.
Everyone has a taste for gossip, and the melon-eaters all cast their eyes in search of knowledge. Zhu Yuanyuan blended in harmoniously among them.
"Go to bed," Tu Yuan scolded with a dark face, "You will be busy tomorrow, and you still have time to talk about these nonsense. Don't forget that there are still underage females here."
Everyone paid their respects to Zhu Yuanyuan, some were surprised, some were annoyed, and some were regretful.
Finally got a chance to tease the captain~
Zhu Yuanyuan felt that she should not be here, but should be in the river, so she raised her hand, "While I can still see the road clearly, I want to take a shower. Does anyone want to go with me?"
The only few female players in the team all responded, "Yes, yes, yes."
Males are not particular about it. If they want to sleep, they will turn into beasts and find a place to lie down. Females cannot do that. They have to wash up at night, use animal skins as cushions, and several people huddle together to rest.
Of course, the males took good care of the females. In order to keep warm, they built five fires, leaving a large space in the middle. Sleeping in them was safe and warm.
There is no need to worry that the fire will go out over time, because the male who is on duty will add more wood.
Zhu Yuanyuan went back to sleep in the middle of the fire and was a little worried, "I didn't sleep well, so I couldn't have gone into the fire in the middle of the night~"
"No," Zhu Luo said with a smile, "you are so big in animal form, you can't run away if you are trapped in us."
other female
Xing also nodded in agreement, "With us here, there will definitely be no problem."
Zhu Yuanyuan believed it and said happily, "I'll trouble you then~"
That night, she did not run into the fire. Instead, she was almost crushed by Zhu Luo, who was sleeping on her right side. She finally escaped, but another claw flew from her left side...
I can't sleep now!
So, Zhu Yuanyuan got up and squatted beside the fire in a daze, thinking about the feasibility of sleeping somewhere else.
The two male orcs who were responsible for keeping watch looked very happy and pointed openly, "The beasts are small and suffer a disadvantage. Poor cubs, won't they be like this in the next few days?"
Zhu Yuanyuan was very excited when she heard this, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
As smart as she is, she will definitely be able to find a safe and warm way to rest.
The two night watch orcs shook their heads and sighed, deciding not to stimulate the little big witch. What if the stimulation was too much and he became stupid?
The great witch has only one disciple, and he is the treasure that everyone has lost. If something goes wrong, he cannot afford to pay for it.
Zhu Yuanyuan was not a roundworm in other people's stomachs, so naturally she couldn't guess what the two were thinking. She was trying hard to think of a solution, and it wasn't until dawn that she finally paid attention, "Dig a hole!"
When baking bricks, dig a hole to block the wind and lie down in it. You can also dig it near the fire when you rest outside at night. It only needs to be a little bigger than her animal form to make it easier to turn over.
It's close to the fire and warm, but it won't roll into the fire. The pit is small and other females can't fall in, so it's very safe.
It was such a happy decision.
Zhu Yuanyuan's grin was a little silly, but it scared Zhu Luo and others who had woken up from sleep.
"Ah ah ah, Yuanyuan is giggling with dark circles under her eyes so early in the morning..."
"Stop arguing," the two night watch orcs said with a frown, "She's fine, she's just being suppressed by you and can't sleep. She's in need of sleep."
Several females looked at each other in confusion, and after a long time, Zhu Luolai came out to quibble, "Our sleeping position is actually not bad, we are just not used to having no bed in the wild, so we struggled for a while to find a suitable sleeping position, Yuanyuan, what do you think?"
Zhu Yuanyuan, who was named, agreed, "Aunt Luo is right, it's really hard to work under the covers."
Zhu Luo smiled happily.
There was still a lot of processed meat left last night, and it was hung on the nearest big tree. When Bai Yu, the female of the Flying Tiger Clan, woke up, she didn't rush to turn into a human form. She ran to pick up the meat and prepare it for breakfast.
Baiyin yawned and said, "Captain, I found a small piece of yam on the high slope ahead yesterday. Do you want to dig some to make broth?"
The barbecue is too greasy, some soup for breakfast would be good.
"Okay," Tu Yuan agreed without hesitation, "I'll dig with you and bring two more people..."
He looked around and said, "Just Bai Qing and Zhu Gu."
Baiyin hesitated, "Isn't it a bit slow for four people to dig?"
"It's a little bit," Tu Yuan agreed, "but it doesn't matter. There's still a lot of meat, so we can dig less yams. By the way, someone has to report back to the tribe."
He looked left and right, trying to find the most suitable messenger.
"Me, me, me," Zhu Yuanyuan raised her hand to remind, "Uncle Yuan, didn't you tell me to go last night?"
Tu Yuan snorted coldly, "Look at the dark circles under your eyes before you speak."
