Chapter 234

Before, XunMi and Gu Li didn’t utilize them because they wanted to see how long it would take the beast men to realize that these could also be used as food. Now that XunMi and Gu Li had found a use, they immediately went after them.

“Mu Yan, go notify call some people over. We want to bring these beasts back too. Even though they are small, then can still be eaten too. Then have a few females come to grab some grass for the geese beasts to eat. They should be easy to raise.”

XunMi and Gu Li looked at each with a silent smile. They were able to give them a hint without being too obvious.

Mu Yan quickly brought over the request beastmen. The new arrivers began surrounding those geese beasts. XunMi and Gu Li stood on the side and watched as the two meter tall men chased the geese beasts up and down the mountain.

Soon, Yan Luo also brought over a group of females. Seeing the messy scene in front of him, he was frozen with confusion. He gestured for the females to go pick grass and turned to go help the men. XunMi and Gu Li also joined in helping collect grass.

The other females tried to push them out, not wanting them to help with such tasks. To them, XunMi and Gu Li had given them new hope and a bright future. How could they make them do such hard work.

XunMi and Gu Li were helpless. They were only ordinary citizens, they weren’t as superior as they were being portrayed. After much convincing, the two also entered the grass picking group. The females moved quickly and efficiently completed their task. They used a vine to bundle their pickings together so that the beastmen could carry them away. Meanwhile, the beastmen had finally driven the two hundred+ geese down towards the plain grounds.

After tidying up the chaos, it was already nighttime. In the center of the tribe, a bonfire was already ignited with meat being barbequed.

“Gu Li, do you want to eat Beggar’s Chicken?” XunMi enticed Gu Li, hoping to get her help. There was no way she could make enough for the entire tribe by herself.

Gu Li didn’t notice XunMi’s dangerous intentions. She immediately nodded eagerly.

XunMi patted Gu Li’s head with satisfaction. “Then let’s go grab the things we’ll need first. Remember to get your Mu Yan to take care of the chicken first.” She wasn’t going to let Yuan He do such a dirty thing.

But XunMi also remembered that there were sheep in this world, even though she hadn’t spotted any yet. She planned to go out searching for them tomorrow so that she could also get some lamb meat.

The innocent Gu Li obediently went to carry out XunMi’s orders. After making sure Mu Yan knew what he was doing, she ran to go prepare the things XunMi asked for.

“Yuan He, help me dig a few dirt mounds. I’ll use them later.” XunMi placed all the ingredients into her basket and headed to the bonfire.

The large pot had already been heated up just waiting for XunMi to take over. Iron had not been discovered yet so everything was made out of stone. It was a tedious and tiring process to use the heavy pots so the beastmen usually prefered barbequed meats on a stick.

Jacob had already mored water into the pot. XunMi pulled out Yuan He’s cutting board and a knife. First she added mushrooms and cilantro along with peppers to the boiling pot. She diced carrots and placed them on the side. She then minced the ginger and Sichuan pepper.

In a separate pan, she added salt and hot pepper before dumping the other ingredients in. At the same time, Mu Yan came over with the ten geese beasts that he prepared.

“XunMi, what are you preparing? There’s so many bones in this beast, it’s not convenient to eat.” Yue stood on the side, a bit confused, clearly having previously thought to eat this bird.

“Aunt Yue, this bird is actually pretty easy to eat. I’m preparing Beggar’s chicken. Many animals could be eaten, you just need to know the right method. The same goes for wild vegetables.” XunMi captured every opportunity to guide the tribe to view the world from a new perspective.

“You’re right.” Aunt Yue praised, promising herself to be more observant in the future.

The crowd around them also began to talk amongst themselves.

“Then could that sharp beast be eaten too?” A beastman called out.

“Of course, some things with pointy parts can still be nutritious.” Gu Li affirmed. She knew the sharp beast referred to fish.

“Smells good. What is that?” Mumbled the crowd, everyone extending their heads to look over the pot edge. Inside were different vegetables that they couldn’t name but it all looked very tasteful.

XunMi smiled and described a few things. She waved over Gu Li to help her stuff more ingredients into the belly of the beast. After stuffing one, she rubbed the outside layer with crystal salt and wrapped the final product in a large tree leaf.

After watching the process, Yuan He and Mu Yan moved up to help out. Soon, the ten beasts were all prepared. With a wave of her hand, XunMi moved to the dirt mounds Yuan He had made. The middle had been cleared out, with a wooden stick inserted into the opening.

XunMi had Jia soak the dried dirt dug out into clay. She then slapped the clay onto the outside of the geese package.
