Maybe it had rained, and there was still water in the leaves, making them feel sticky. Lu Xiaoxiao poked the dead leaves with a stick and soon found new nuts.

This nut has a dark brown shell, as long as a person's thumb. When opened, the flesh is very beautiful, off-white, and has no outer coat. It looks a bit like a pecan.

When I put it in my mouth, it tasted like milk.

Delicious.

Lu Xiaoxiao's attention was instantly attracted by the nut, and she decided to pick up more so that she could share some to eat!

Once she, who seldom participated in collecting, entered the working state, she was completely immersed in the collecting. She pulled away the leaves here and picked the fruits, kicked away the leaves there and picked the fruits again. Wherever she walked was like a swarm of locusts. She was really not lazy at all.

Soon, her basket was filled with more than half of the pecans, far ahead of everyone else.

Seeing how energetic a female was, the males followed her without wanting to be outdone. If people knew that what they had collected was not as much as the female alone, they would completely lose the right to be chosen in the tribe.

"The hunters are back! They caught a fat pig!" Yao Yao spotted the male carrying the prey back with his sharp eyes and shouted excitedly.

"Oh! Then let's pick that thing first!" After collecting a lot of nuts, the female who was taking a break quickly asked Lu Xiaoxiao, "What should we do with that thing just now?"

"We can just pick them off, but there's a lot of sand in them, so we have to wash them clean." Lu Xiaoxiao knew that this thing was really troublesome and needed to be washed many times before it was clean. "Let the male weave a shallow basket for us, and put the fruits in the basket and wash them in the water."

"Yeah, okay!" Yueyue and the others heard it from behind, and quickly ran to the males, asking them to weave baskets quickly.

The males quickly began to weave using their hands and feet, mainly acting as tools.

Nanshan had no choice but to weave a basket quickly, otherwise he had a premonition that he would be disliked by everyone.

There are not many thunder mushrooms nearby, so the males volunteered to let two quick orcs go pick them, while the females stayed here with the other males.

The females were not very happy to hear this arrangement. They would rather pick the fruits themselves, but after the males promised to wash them, they happily continued their collection activities.

Lu Xiaoxiao actually wanted to say that washing the thunder mushrooms was really tiring, so she chose not to participate.

"Please help me get a bigger stone, one that's slightly concave." Lu Xiaoxiao said to the male beside her.

The male didn't quite understand what to do, but nodded and went to find the stone.

Lu Xiaoxiao looked at the pig again.

The pig looked to be more than 200 pounds, was black in color, and had very long teeth. It was panting angrily and looked a little stubborn, perhaps because it was not accepting that it was caught like this.

"Do you want salt?" Nanshan learned from his communication with Yuchuan yesterday that Lu Xiaoxiao, a delicate female, only eats cooked food. When he went out today, he brought some salt with him, intending to get close to her.

Although I know she can make salt, there is still not much salt now.

It was indeed used.

There was a flash of surprise in Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes. She hadn't thought of this and almost treated everyone to dark cuisine: "Okay, thank you."

Nanshan waved his hand.

"I found a nest of eggs!" A female and a male came over with great joy, "I just happened to see a bird and kept staring at it, and sure enough, I found a nest!"

"How many are there?" the females asked enviously.

"There are eight in the litter! Two were left for it! I took six!" said the female proudly.

"Wow, that's a lot." If I keep the six eggs for myself, they will last me for three days!

"I'll take out three and let everyone share them, is that okay?" the female asked Lu Xiaoxiao. She wanted to keep the remaining three for herself.

"Of course, you can distribute your things yourself." Lu Xiaoxiao nodded.

"Wow, Ranran, thank you!"

"You are so generous!"

"You will always be my good sister~~"

When they heard that she was willing to share half with everyone, the females rushed forward to hug her, praising her with a bunch of sweet words, which made the female dizzy.

Lu Xiaoxiao smiled as she watched everyone having fun. The person who had gone to look for a pot just happened to come back: "Is this okay?"

"Sure." Lu Xiaoxiao took a look and found that the pot was quite big. It seemed that he had put a lot of effort into finding it. If he had only brought a small pot, everyone would have to wait a few more batches.

"Slaughter the pig." Lu Xiaoxiao wanted a piece of fat meat to make oil, so she instructed everyone, "Build a circle with stones, light a fire in the circle, and put the pot on it."

Everyone went around collecting firewood and stones, and they were very obedient.

The thermal conductivity of the stone pot is average. While waiting, the people who picked thunder mushrooms also came back. They took two full baskets and looked anxious: "Is this enough?"

"That's enough, just taste it." Lu Xiaoxiao felt that it would not be very delicious. She didn't have any chili in her hand, so it would definitely lack some flavor, but the people here shouldn't mind too much.

Being able to eat means one more chance of survival, and taste is sometimes not an important thing.

Although this is what they mean, if it is edible, everyone present is ready to go up the mountain and pluck it all out. Even though there are not many of them, as long as it is edible, everyone is willing to pick it.

"Can this be preserved?" It looked wet and might go bad easily.

"Yes, but it must be dried and made crispy, so that you can soak it next time you eat it. It can be stored for about a year." Lu Xiaoxiao replied.

"Ah, how long is a year?" The orcs still had a vague concept of time, and the forest was evergreen all year round, so there was no concept of the changing of time and seasons.

"It's a long, long time. You can still eat it after you go on a long trip." Lu Xiaoxiao shook her head, "But it may not be dried in the forest."

"It's okay, we can go to the beach to dry in the sun, where the sun is strong!" When everyone heard that drying could preserve things for a very long time, they became excited and wanted to pick up these strange things with baskets right away!

"Go wash them first. They are full of mud and sand. After you finish eating them, you can consider whether to pick them or not."

"It's okay, we have good teeth." Hearing her say this, everyone calmed down. One group of people went to wash the food, and a group of people cooperated in slaughtering pigs and cutting meat. The supplies hunted during the gathering also belonged to the gathering team, so it was okay for them to take some.

The pig wailed for a long time and struggled for a long time, but was still killed by the orc's sharp claws.

The beastmen picked a piece of white meat and handed it to Lu Xiaoxiao, looking at her seriously: "Is this okay? It's so fat."

Lu Xiaoxiao took a closer look and found that the piece of meat in front of her was really fat. Apart from the skin, there was almost no red part. She probably wouldn't need so much of it.

"Just cut half for me." Reaching out above the pot to feel the temperature, Lu Xiaoxiao thought it was just right.

"it is good."

Nanshan stared at her movements, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink when he saw her testing the temperature.

This female is just like what Yuchuan said, a troublemaker! !

She is not afraid of getting burned!

How would he explain to Yuchuan if he got burned?!?
