It turned out to be the prey of the two of them.
Baishi suddenly understood what Zhu Yuanyuan said. If the prey belongs to whoever kills it, he can let his future companions eat more mutated beast meat containing energy, instead of waiting in line to share it like now.
People have selfish motives. The more energy they absorb, the stronger they will be, and their lifespan will increase accordingly. He hopes that Yuanyuan can accompany him to his old age.
I have this idea, what about everyone in the tribe?
After queuing up to receive the meat, Zhu Yuanyuan, who was waiting next to her, came forward with her portion of meat and smiled with her big eyes bent, "Let's eat together tonight~"
Bai Shi asked, "Aren't you going to make dinner for the great wizard?"
"Go," Zhu Yuanyuan replied without thinking, "Master is too lonely to eat alone. Let's go eat with him. It will be lively."
Thinking of the meat he just received, he said, "Send the meat home first and save the amount you want to eat tonight."
Shiraishi, "..." The great wizard probably won't be too happy.
That's what he thought, but he didn't refuse. After they hold the companionship ceremony next year, they will have more contact with the great witch. It's not a bad thing to adapt in advance.
Hu Yin, who welcomed his apprentice and his future companion, was unfazed and said, "Hurry up and cook dinner. Make more."
Zhu Yuanyuan replied crisply, "I'll go right away."
Bai Shi greeted the great witch politely and followed closely behind Zhu Yuanyuan, "What do you want to do? I'll help you."
"Okay," Zhu Yuanyuan said without being polite, "First, wash the meat we received and cut it into pieces as big as my fist. I want to make braised pork. It's too big and it takes time."
Shiraishi nodded, "No problem."
Someone took the lead, and the work speed was much faster. The cut meat was quickly removed from the pot, stir-fried until the surface changed color, then various spices and seasonings were added, and an appropriate amount of water was poured in to simmer.
The meat is cut into large pieces and it is difficult to cook it directly. You can only add water to stew it. Worrying about burning the pot, you add a lot of water, which is almost like stew.
Well, again, as long as it tastes good, braised pork and stewed meat are the same.
Anyway, Master has no objection, she can say whatever she likes.
The braised pork was greasy, so Zhu Yuanyuan decided to add a wild fruit soup, cooking some fruits that were not very sweet but slightly sour, pretending to be tomato and egg drop soup.
They all taste sweet and sour, so they shouldn’t be unpleasant to drink.
Hu Yin, who glanced back unintentionally, turned a little ugly. He moved his lips to say something, but in the end he pretended not to have seen him.
The fruits have all been put into the pot, and it’s useless. I’ll try them later, and if they don’t work, I’ll give them to the cubs in the Orphan Cave to drink. Those little ones like to eat sweet and sour fruits the most, and they should also like them when boiled into soup.
When the braised pork and fruit soup was served, Hu Yin took a spoonful of the soup and tasted it in the bowl.
Hey, it tastes surprisingly good.
Seeing that there was a lot of soup in the pot, he said, "Send some to the Orphan Cave later and get some raw meat."
Zhu Yuanyuan responded, "Okay, I'll send it over after I finish eating."
"Ask him to deliver it," Hu Yin said with insight in his eyes, "You still have to wash the pots and dishes, don't be lazy."
"Haha," Zhu Yuanyuan laughed dryly, "Master, you are overthinking it. I plan to come back and wash it after sending it off. I have no intention of leaving the work to you."
Really, she is obviously very diligent, why does everyone think she is lazy?
Hu Yin said calmly, "It's fine if not."
After a lively (not) dinner, Shiraishi went to deliver fruit and egg drop soup and meat, while Zhu Yuanyuan started washing the dishes and pots.
When the master was doing nothing, he casually asked the young apprentice what he had been doing in the woods these days, "What did you gain? You didn't come back empty-handed, did you?"
"You are looking down on me," Zhu Yuanyuan was unconvinced, "When we came back, we dragged a mutated bear with us and several thousand kilograms of energy-rich meat."
Hu Yin sneered, "It's not you who beat me, but you still have the nerve to show it off."
"That's almost it," Zhu Yuanyuan said cheekily, "Brother Baishi is my future companion, his prey is my prey, and what's mine is also his."
What a risk, I almost said the wrong thing.
Hu Yin had known that his apprentice was thick-skinned, so he was not surprised when he heard these words. He just reminded him coldly, "You are still young, so be more careful and don't give birth to babies too early."
"Master, what are you talking about?" Zhu Yuanyuan blushed to the root of her neck, "We just went out to look for medicinal seeds."
She is still young, and her relationship with Brother Baishi is a pure future companion. After all, her body is hers, and she does not dare to do anything wrong.
"This is your own business, you don't need to tell me," Hu Yin coughed lightly, slowly stood up and walked out, "I have something to go to the leader, you can go back after you finish."
Zhu Yuanyuan said, "I understand."
Watching her master leave, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. It was so nice to talk about such a thing...
But it doesn't matter. The adults in the tribe often talk about men and women when chatting together. There are not many people who are as shy as her. This is why she likes to stay at home when she is not alive.
He has been ridiculed too many times and has not made any progress at all. He is simply an alien.
Zhu Yuanyuan is also very distressed. She came from modern society and is not as open as the females in the original orc world. She is too conservative and out of place. Is there something wrong with her?
As usual, just put aside any troubling matters. She hasn't had a good rest in the past two days, so going home and sleeping is the top priority.
After washing the pots and dishes as quickly as possible and tidying up the stove, Zhu Yuanyuan returned home happily. She first carried a bucket to the river to fetch water, then went home and took a cold shower.
She didn't want to heat hot water on a hot day.
After taking a bath, take advantage of the moonlight to go to the river to wash off your clothes. Leaving them overnight will cover up the smell.
We don’t have enough soap at home. We need to make some more tomorrow and give a few pieces to Grandma, Grandma and Master. Our two sisters-in-law don’t have the patience to do it, and they also said a few days ago that they would exchange for something.
Orcs live a rough life, and even if she teaches her how to make soap, there are not many people who are willing to do it. They either don't use it, or find people who do it to exchange for meat or fruit.
After all, she is really diligent as she makes her own soap, not as lazy as Tongzi said.
After boasting without blushing, Zhu Yuanyuan carried her clothes home to dry. After that, she went back to her room and took out a pure cotton nightgown from the room to put on. She slumped on the kang unwilling to move.
I'm so tired, I really want to lie in bed and sleep for three days and three nights without getting up.
Unfortunately not.
The next morning, the biological clock woke Zhu Yuanyuan up on time. She sat up slowly and rubbed her eyes. She took the animal skin dress lying next to the pillow and sighed as she changed it. "I have to cover up even if I want to wear a cotton nightgown. These days, When will it be the end?"
The tribe had not given her much cotton as a reward. She only made one skirt and distributed the rest to her family.
And that skirt, as she grew taller, she could no longer wear it.
Uh~ In fact, it was washed to pieces before she could wear it anymore. Finally, it was washed, torn into strips, boiled in a pot for a quarter of an hour, and then sterilized and used to bandage the wounds.
There is no way, there is little cotton, and there are few people who can weave. As long as it can be used, it cannot be wasted.
I hope the weather will be good this year and the cotton harvest will be bumper so that everyone can wear clothes made of cotton.
