Is the wicked female fat and ugly? All the beast husbands are vying to wash her skirt.

Chapter 218 Beauty Trap

After handing the letter to the groundhog to deliver, Su Luoluo glanced at the females cooking in the square.

Seeing that Hongshuang was nowhere to be seen, she asked, "Where did Hongshuang go?"

Ever since she sensed something was off about this person yesterday, Su Luoluo had been paying special attention to her.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Xia said, "This morning, Su Zhao brought her over and asked for some salt. Then they left together, saying they were going to make some warm chicken."

Warm Chicken?
Su Luoluo had never heard of it; it might be a practice of Hongshuang's tribe.

She wasn't very interested in the matter, and after learning that Hongshuang and Suzhao had left, she went to Suyang's place.

Yesterday I was so focused on talking to Su Yang about salt that I haven't told him about rice yet.

Su Luoluo had no choice but to make another trip.

"Father, I've found some food that can be eaten as a staple. How do you think we should share it with the people of the tribe?"

"Food? What is it?"

Su Luoluo handed over the animal skin bag that she had prepared in advance to contain rice. "It's rice. I found it recently. If the people in the tribe eat this, they won't have to hunt anymore."

Su Yang took the animal skin bag, saw the white millet grains inside, took them out and examined them for a long time, and said in disbelief, "This little thing can actually fill its stomach?"

Su Luoluo nodded. "It's the same as the potatoes and taro I ate with everyone before; it can be eaten as a staple food."

Upon hearing this, Su Yang fell silent. Su Luoluo always sought out things they had never eaten before, but which were made very deliciously.

He put the rice he had picked up back into the animal skin bag and said, "Are you planning to distribute it all to everyone?"

"Yes, we'll give some to the wolf tribe, and some to the ring-tailed lemur tribe too. It's just that we don't know how to distribute it among so many people."

Having been a leader for many years, Su Yang quickly offered his advice: "That's easy. Just divide it according to the population. Each family gets as many people as they have. You're not very familiar with the situation in the wolf tribe, so I'll help you with the distribution."

With Su Yang's words, this matter became much easier to handle.

Su Luoluo sought to discuss this matter with Su Yang in order to ensure a fairer outcome.

Although she is the leader of the ring-tailed lemurs, she must also treat the wolf tribe well. Only by treating them equally can the two tribes get along amicably.

As for how to divide the tasks among the ring-tailed lemurs, she planned to leave it to Si Zheng, as he was more experienced in these matters and would certainly be more competent than she was.

After Su Luoluo finished speaking, she was about to turn and leave when Su Yang called out to her, "Wait a moment, can you help your father see where we should purify the second batch of salt?"

"The tribe has almost run out of salt, it's time for us to purify it."

Upon hearing this, Su Luoluo looked at the map of the mound that Su Yang had made.

On a wooden table to the side, he piled up several mounds of sand, which looked like a simple topographical map from a distance.

"How about Yangyao Valley here? There are fewer people here, and it's close to Yanjing Cave, which is more convenient for us to transport salt."

Yangyao Valley is a valley shaped like a sheep's kidney, with only one access passage. The terrain underneath is flat, making it ideal for salt refining. It is the kind of terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

This place is quite good for them to purify salt.

Su Luoluo nodded: "This place is nice, but who should we send to purify the salt this time?"

"Of course, someone more skilled is better. The people who went with you last time are all capable."

“Going out with so many people together will easily attract attention,” Su Luoluo said meaningfully.

"Others? You mean that kid Bai Meng? He's fine. I know him. He won't tell anyone. Besides, didn't he have his eye on you? He'd never betray us."

Su Yang couldn't help but feel proud when he thought about how much his daughter was loved.

Su Luoluo: "."

She hadn't expected Su Yang to be so gossipy.

She looked at Su Yang quietly for a while, until Su Yang stopped smiling, before she spoke up: "Father, I'm not talking about him, I'm talking about someone else."

"The other one? Who?"

Su Zhao happily handed over the pheasant he had caught, saying, "Hong Shuang, here's the pheasant you wanted."

Hongshuang took it and gently thanked Su Zhao, "Thank you, Brother Zhao. Could you please dig some more soil for me?"

"Digging soil? What do you need soil for?" Hong Shuang smiled confidently, "My Warm Chicken can only be made with soil. Doesn't that sound a bit strange? But I guarantee that it will be the best chicken you've ever eaten."

Not surprising.

Su Zhao was not greatly affected by what Hong Shuang said, after all, Su Luoluo had done the same thing before.

Su Zhao was quite happy to see Hong Shuang doing this, but she didn't say what she was about to say.

Perhaps the chicken that Hongshuang's mother makes is different.

He nodded and said, "Then I'll go get some soil."

Before long, Su Zhao brought the soil back.

Meanwhile, Hongshuang had already started rubbing salt on the chickens.

When she helped cook in the square before, Caixia didn't let her touch salt, and she didn't see what wolf clan salt looked like.

Now, seeing the salt Su Zhao brought over, she was surprised to find that the wolf clan's salt was snow-white and fine, even better than the salt in the city-state.

Although Su Nuannuan had told her that the wolf tribe had salt wells, she had always thought that the salt they extracted was just so-so. But now, seeing this snow-white and delicate salt, she couldn't help but gasp.

This wolf tribe doesn't seem any worse than their black boar tribe, and in some ways, they even have better things.

She glanced at the pottery that was everywhere, and it didn't look as rough or cracked as Su Nuannuan had told them.

Upon seeing Su Zhao return, she immediately overturned the salt bag, spilling most of it onto the ground. While picking up the salt, she pretended to be very apologetic, saying, "Brother Zhao, I'm sorry I spilled such precious salt."

Su Zhao glanced at it and shook his head, saying, "It's alright, we still have plenty of salt."

"But this salt is very precious, and I feel embarrassed."

"It's alright, our tribe has no shortage of salt, so it's fine if it gets spilled."

“Brother Zhao, this isn’t right. Hunting is hard work, and you have to go to the city-state to exchange for it.”

“It’s alright, our tribe doesn’t need salt,” Su Zhao blurted out, then stopped abruptly after thinking of something.

Upon hearing this, Hong Shuang asked, "Nothing is needed?"

"It's nothing. I just meant there's plenty of salt in the tribe, so don't worry."

Hong Shuang felt a little regretful when she heard this. Su Zhao was just about to say it when she stopped.

Seeing that Su Zhao still had some reservations about her, Hong Shuang didn't ask any further questions and focused on cooking the chicken in her hands.

After applying salt and seasoning, she wrapped it in a leaf and then smeared it with mud. "Don't be fooled by its dirty appearance, it will taste delicious later."

Su Zhao stared at Hong Shuang's continuous movements, his face stiffening for a moment. How come this way of cooking chicken was exactly the same as Su Luoluo's beggar's chicken?

He couldn't help but ask Hongshuang another question: "Hongshuang, did your mother tell you to make this chicken?"

Hongshuang nodded. "Of course, it was passed down from my ancestors."

Could it be that Su Luoluo's adoptive mother also learned from Hongshuang's tribe?
Thinking about this, Su Zhao realized that Su Luoluo wasn't as amazing as she seemed.

After the two finished eating chicken and returned, Su Zhao was called over by Su Yang.

After Su Zhao came out, Hong Shuang asked, "What did the leader want to see you about?"

Su Zhao nodded. "Hongshuang, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay with you for the next few days. Father asked me to go out and take care of some things."

Hong Shuang's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. Were they going to the salt well?
She suppressed her excitement and said calmly, "It's alright, the tribe's affairs are more important. I'll wait for you to come back."

After saying goodbye to Su Zhao, Hong Shuang immediately wrote a leaf letter to Su Nuannuan.

Black Pig Tribe.

After receiving Hongshuang's letter, Su Nuannuan burst into laughter. What was the use of Su Yang hiding his true intentions? He was still won over by her beauty trap.

"Black Hair and Yellow Hair, take a few more men with you tomorrow and keep an eye on the wolf tribe."

"Yes, Madam Chief."

I'm having writer's block, so I can only post two chapters today (I'll continue after I've sorted things out, and don't forget to vote, my darlings!).
