Traveling through time and space to achieve a well-off life with your family

Cheng Mo cut the pork fat into cubes and put them into the stone pot, then added water. The stone pot did not conduct heat very well, and by the time the pork cubes were fried until browned, the braised dishes over there were almost done. A group of hungry orcs held their pottery bowls and looked forward to it.

The aroma of lard attracted the attention of those orcs, and the sizzling sound of the oil became more pleasant. After it boiled, Cheng Mo lifted the lid of the pot, turned the bottom of the pot slightly, and continued to fry slowly over low heat.

The group of orcs ate what they had in their hands while looking at what was in the pot. Their eager expressions were no different from those of the little cubs. Xiong Bai and Yan Hai shook their heads, wondering why the warriors of their tribe had succumbed to the food so quickly.

When Cheng Mo took out the lard from the pot, the orcs' eyes were almost glued to the pot. Cheng Mo divided the lard into three portions, sprinkled one portion with salt and the other with chili powder. When the three portions of lard were brought up, the orcs quickly picked them up and put them in their mouths. They were so scalded that they couldn't even breathe out. Cheng Mo shouted in amusement, "Slow down, slow down," but no one paid attention to him.

Everyone had a full stomach after this meal. The little cubs lay on the ground, still savoring the delicious food.

Cheng Mo put the lard into a clean, waterless pottery jar. Kong Fu asked curiously, "Cheng Mo, what is this?"

Cheng Mo put the pottery jar in a cool place and said, "Lard tastes much better than the oil we usually eat. Just wait until it solidifies."

The following days were getting colder and colder, and there weren't many vegetables left in Cheng Mo's vegetable garden. Cheng Mo picked the vegetables that he didn't eat and dried them or stored them in a cold corner. Xiong Bo and Yan Hai calculated every day whether the stored food could survive the winter...

Now their population is large, and the previous salt is not enough, so Banmu took a group of people and set out again to the land of divine punishment before the weather got to the coldest.

This time they took even less time. Cheng Mo and his team arrived at the Land of Divine Punishment fully prepared. The environment here was warmer than outside. Cheng Mo dried and stored the collected kelp. Cheng Mo also picked up a lot of shellfish and kelp. Those shellfish, like crabs, were very popular among orcs. Cheng Mo stored as much as he could.

Cheng Mo looked at the basket of oysters and kelp he had picked up. Although everyone likes to eat them, you will get tired of eating them every day, right? But he couldn't bear to throw them away. Cheng Mo suddenly remembered the modern oyster sauce, which is also easy to make. He happened to have the right one on hand, so Cheng Mo picked up a lot of oysters by himself. While other orcs were boiling salt, Cheng Mo made oyster sauce on the side.

He first cleaned the oysters, opened the shells and took out the meat. The meat of these oysters was very fat and the shells were very big. Cheng Mo spent a long time cleaning the clam meat, then boiled the cleaned clam meat in the pot for half an hour and took out the clam meat. All the clam meat went into the orcs' stomachs. Cheng Mo continued to boil the remaining soup for nearly four hours, added salt and honey and stirred it constantly. Cheng Mo used the powder of the explosive fruit to make a bowl of thickening. Seeing the soup in the pot gradually becoming less, Cheng Mo was afraid that the oyster sauce would burn, so he guarded the stone pot and dared not leave.

Finally, after the soup thickened, a pot of oyster sauce was ready. Cheng Mo took a little and tasted it. A fresh taste rushed to his head. He collected the oyster sauce with satisfaction. The orcs looked at the can of oyster sauce curiously and asked, "Master Cheng Mo, what is this? Is it delicious?"

Cheng Mo patted the oyster sauce can and said, "This is oyster sauce. Add it to dishes and it will taste good no matter how you cook it!"

When they heard that it was delicious, the orcs' eyes lit up and they wanted to pick up the cans and drink directly from them. Cheng Mo looked at their expressions and promised to make them something delicious. The orcs became even more excited, and so every day Cheng Mo would receive a large basket of oysters.

Cheng Mo looked at the piles of clam shells around him. These were the fruits of their labor over the past few days! The smell of these clam shells was also very strong. Cheng Mo's nose was full of the smell of the sea, and he felt that he was stinking.

After these few days of work, everyone's body and face were covered in black. Although it could be washed away with water, some of it remained on the skin and could not be washed off.

Cheng Mo suddenly thought of soap, which is also easy to make. Cheng Mo collected a pile of dead leaves, set them on fire, added water to the ashes after burning and set them aside for later use. What remained after filtering was lye water. Then Cheng Mo put the clam shells on the fire and burned them. The burned clam shells broke into pieces with a light pinch. Cheng Mo removed the black outer layer of the clam shells and crushed them, then added the clam shell powder to the lye water for precipitation.

This time, Cheng Mo did not bring lard, but the oil fruits they used to eat. He put the oil fruits on a stone pot and refined the oil. The oil had the fragrance of plants. Cheng Mo poured alkaline water with clam shell powder into the vegetable oil. Because he was not sure about the ratio, Cheng Mo added the alkaline water little by little. The oil with alkaline water changed color and became viscous under Cheng Mo's stirring.

When it got dark, the oils finally turned into a milky white color. Cheng Mo rubbed his sore wrist and watched Ban Mu put the soaps into bamboo tubes. These bamboo tubes had to be placed in a cool place to dry and saponify for about half a month before they could be used.

After being delayed here for so long, Cheng Mo missed Cheng Lingqu at home. This was the first time they were separated for so long. He wondered if the child would cry secretly. Cheng Mo leaned against Ban Mu, muttering Cheng Lingqu. Cheng Lingqu, who was far away in the tribe, sneezed. Xiong Bo quickly covered him with clothes, muttering, "I told you not to wear clothes. If you get sick, Cheng Mo will definitely force you to drink ginger soup!"

Thinking of Cheng Mo's ginger soup, Cheng Lingqu shuddered and put on his clothes obediently. He didn't want to drink ginger soup, the taste was simply deadly!

After staying in the Land of Divine Punishment for a few more days, Cheng Mo and the others were finally ready to set out on their journey home with a bunch of stuff.

As soon as they left the land of divine punishment, Cheng Mo and the others felt even colder. They did not dare to stay too long and rushed home almost day and night.

Cheng Mo was drowsy sitting on Ban Mu's back. Ban Mu was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he wrapped him with layer upon layer of animal skins. Cheng Mo felt like he was about to sweat while sitting on Ban Mu's back, but he knew Ban Mu's concerns, so he didn't refuse. Anyway, he didn't need to get off and walk.

"Ding Dong! Main Mission Five: Rescue the injured cubs!" 079's cold voice woke up the sleepy Cheng Mo.

Cheng Mo pulled himself together and looked around. There were only dead trees and snowflakes around. Where did the injured cub come from? Before Cheng Mo could ask, Ban Mu suddenly stopped, and the other orcs behind him also stopped. Ban Mu put Cheng Mo on the cart and told him, "Xiao Mo, stay here and don't run around."

Cheng Mo looked at Banmu and nodded. He knew that his strength was too weak, so he just had to protect himself and not cause trouble for them. The other orcs surrounded the cart with their backs to each other. Banmu flew in the air and looked at the surrounding environment. He roared, and snowflakes fell. The sky and the earth seemed to be empty. A hint of blood came in the cold wind. Banmu looked in that direction and roared, "Who! Come out!"
