In less than half an hour, all the kernels in three baskets of corn were hulled.

After all, there were many orcs coming to help, so the process was very quick!

After shelling the corn, Lin Xi divided it into two parts. She planned to grind half of it into flour and the other half into corn grits, which could be used to make corn grits porridge.

Lin Xi asked Hong Yunhei to make the stone mill during the tribe's autumn harvest, and asked Jin Gan, Yue Qing and others to make it according to the blueprint.

The orcs were very efficient and even used their own creative thinking to make three sizes of stone mills: large, medium and small.

But no matter which model of stone mill it was, it was too heavy for Lin Xi.

After being in the beast world for so long, she clearly felt that her strength had increased a lot, but now she still couldn't pull these stones that were easy for the beastmen to turn!

In the end, the corns that had been threshed were naturally processed by the orcs!

Lin Xi looked at the gradually piling up piles of corn grits and yellow cornmeal, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

She squatted down, picked up some cornmeal and twisted it with her fingertips. It felt very rough.

This is because the skin is not peeled. If the skin is peeled before beating, the cornmeal will be smoother and taste better when cooked!

It's a pity that there is no peeling machine here.

But it's already good!

Lin Xi stood up and looked at the freshly baked cornmeal. After thinking for a while, he decided to process the corn and use it to make something to reward the orcs who helped him. He would also teach them how to eat the corn.

In fact, it is still early now. Even if we wait until all the corn is processed, it will probably be just noon.

According to the beastmen's habit of eating twice a day, there is still a long time until the evening!

But thinking that Wu Chen must be very tired after building the shed for the whole morning, if he didn't eat at noon, he would definitely be hungry in the afternoon if he couldn't wait until the lunch was over, Lin Xi felt that it was not too early to cook this meal now!

After thinking about it, she decided to make two kinds of food for lunch.

Make a pot of corn grits porridge, and then stew meat with dried bamboo shoots. Use the pot used to stew the meat to make a pot of cornmeal pancakes!

Thinking of this, she went to take out the dried bamboo shoots and soak them in advance!

Because the cornmeal for making tortillas also needs to be fermented in advance, after soaking the bamboo shoots, Lin Xi began to teach the orcs the techniques of kneading dough!

When making tortillas normally, you should actually add some white flour to make it taste better.

But there is none here, so we have to make do with it.

Lin Xi first beat three eggs into the corn flour, stirred it, then added hot water to the flour until it became floc-like with chopsticks. Then, when the flour was not so hot, he kneaded it evenly.

"This is the first step of kneading the dough, and it's ready!"

Lin Xi showed the dough in the basin to a few orcs and continued, "The next step is the most important step. Put the kneaded dough in a warmer place and wait until the dough rises before putting it in the pot."

As she spoke, she carried the washbasin to the kang.

The kang was lit last night and was still quite warm in the morning.

Lin Xi lifted up a piece of animal skin on the side of the kang closer to the stove, placed the washbasin on it, and then covered it with a thick quilt.

After thinking about it, he was afraid that he would be late for lunch because he had to eat at noon, so he asked Mianhua to get some firewood and heat up the kang a little bit.

"Then we just need to wait for the dough to rise. The time it takes to rise depends on the temperature. It will be slower in winter than in summer. In summer, if the dough rises too much by mistake, the cakes will become sour. So if the temperature is too high, we need to keep an eye on it."

After Lin Xi finished speaking, he led the orcs out and said to a few of them, "But don't worry now. Wait until the noodles are fermented. Then you can see what they look like!"

Several orcs quickly nodded in agreement, followed Lin Xi out of the cave, and sat back to continue working.

Lin Xi brought them some water, and then gave a glass of water to Wu Chen and Jin Gan respectively.

Jin Gan has been helping Wu Chen since he arrived. Although he only has one arm left, it seems that his movements do not seem to be strenuous at all!

Lin Xi stood aside and watched for a while. A shed for storing things and a shed for livestock to live in. In just one morning, half of the prototype had come out. It was estimated that it would be completed before the evening!

Sometimes I have to sigh that nature has given orcs powerful strength, and they can do things very quickly!

After delivering the water, Lin Xi finally remembered to take a look at the little cub that she had almost forgotten.

But when she went over, she found that the little guy had woken up by himself!

Not only did he wake up, but the little one didn't even cry or make a fuss. When Lin Xi went over, the little guy was staring with his big round eyes at the leaves hanging above his head, which were rustling in the wind. He was watching very seriously!

Seeing Lin Xi coming over, the pair of gray-green eyes that were exactly the same as Wu Chen's turned to Lin Xi, and seemed to be in a trance for a second.

And in the next second, after recognizing the person, the little guy immediately laughed "Aaaahh", and his pink little gums were exposed.

Lin Xi found it funny and couldn't help but stretch out her hand to pinch the little guy's soft face: "Hey, our little Lin Mo is awake, so well behaved, not even calling for mommy?"

The little guy didn't understand what Lin Xi said, but he knew his mother was talking to him.

So he laughed even more happily, and stretched out a little hand to grab Lin Xi.

Lin Xi looked at him tenderly, and finally picked up the baby, holding him and walking to a place not far from Wu Chen who was working: "Look, Dad is building a shed~ Such a big shed, isn't it impressive~"

The little fellow listened to Lin Xi's words and was very considerate. He kicked his legs as if he was about to jump up in Lin Xi's arms and looked at Wu Chen: "Ahhh...ahhh..."

Lin Xi was kicked so hard that she took a small step back. She couldn't help but gently pat the baby's soft little butt:

"Hey~ You really take after your father, you're quite strong!"

In fact, Lin Xi didn't expect that she would accept the role of mother so quickly. She thought it would take her a long time to adapt!

But in fact, it only took her three to five days to complete the transformation of her identity and thinking.

There’s nothing I can do, the little guy is just too cute!

And when she thought that this well-behaved little thing was born by herself, she liked it even more!

Of course, she has always known that it was mainly because Wu Chen gave her more support!

Although orcs don’t understand the so-called parenting theories, nor do they understand the big principles of “protecting new mothers’ emotional changes” and psychological states, orcs can do it!

He is trying his best to protect Lin Xi's happiness!

Whether it was sharing the housework with her or sharing the burden of parenting, the reason for doing all this was ultimately because he wanted Lin Xi to be happy!

And Lin Xi was indeed well protected by him!
