Farming in the Beast World: I Lead the Orphan Beast Husband to Become Rich
Chapter 6 Her Happiness Returns
The fire was soon lit.
Water had been put in the fruit shell pot in advance. Lin Xi put all the fat pieces cut into small pieces into the pot and blanched them first.
Blanching can remove impurities on the surface of the meat and also remove some of the fishy smell. Since there are no seasonings such as onion and ginger here, this method is the only one.
Wu Chen made a very good fire and quickly blanched the meat. Lin Xi took out the meat, replaced the water in the pot with new water, and poured the meat back into the pot.
Then he added two more pieces of firewood to the fire and waited until the water in the pot began to evaporate. After about twenty minutes, the meat pieces in the pot had obviously shrunk, and small bubbles quickly burst out on the surface of the oil.
Lin Xi took the fruit shell that had been prepared long ago to hold the oil. Inside the fruit shell was a half-fist-sized black stone that had been washed clean.
When she saw the stone again, she still found it very strange that the stone actually tasted salty!
This stone is actually the source of salt for the orcs.
The stone slab in the cave is also salty stone. When grilling meat, you put the meat directly on it and the salt will be roasted directly into the food.
Such salty stones are everywhere in the forest. No wonder she didn't see Wu Chen putting salt powder into the barbecue in the cave in the forest. She thought she had missed it!
Lin Xi put out the fire under the fruit shell pot, and then used a spoon to scoop the oil residue inside into another empty fruit shell.
After scooping out the oil residue, the boiled oil is poured little by little into the fruit shells containing salty stones.
Adding salt to animal oil can prevent it from spoiling.
The last bit of oil and water left in the pot that cannot be contained will be left there and used directly for cooking in the evening.
There was a lot of fried meat crumbs deposited in it, and it couldn't be put into the oil pan.
After Lin Xi finished everything here, Wu Chen had just finished processing the animal skins.
I saw him tie a cross with animal skin ropes, then spread the animal skin out with the bear hair facing outwards, fixed it on, and then stuck it at the entrance of the cave to dry.
Lin Xi didn't know how to make animal hides, but he watched Wu Chen's actions and thought about learning it when he had time.
Although you can rely on Wu Chen, it is more reliable to learn the skills yourself.
"Wu Chen."
Seeing that Wu Chen had finished collecting the animal skins, Lin Xi called out to him, "Are there any orcs in the tribe who eat grass or fruit?"
"Yes, there are orcs from the rabbit tribe, bird tribe, and sheep tribe. They are all omnivorous orcs."
He paused and said, "Orcs actually eat both meat and fruit, but some orcs like to eat meat, while others prefer to eat fruit and grass leaves."
As Wu Chen was talking, he suddenly understood, looked at Lin Xi and asked, "Xixi, do you want to eat fruit?"
"Well, can you take me back to get some?"
Lin Xi was very happy. She suddenly felt that this beast world seemed to be much better than she had imagined!
There is no need to worry about salt or fire, and now even food seems to be of little concern.
At least you don’t have to worry about not knowing those wild grasses and fruits and eating something poisonous!
"Okay, wait for me."
Wu Chen agreed to Lin Xi's request immediately and asked Lin Xi to wait at the entrance of the cave. He went into the cave and took out a piece of animal skin. After coming out, he bent down and turned into an animal form. Then he picked up the animal skin and his dropped animal skin skirt, lay down, and motioned Lin Xi to come up.
Wu Chen took Lin Xi directly into the forest not far away.
He ran a little too far. The fruits near the forest had basically been picked by the herbivorous beasts. If he wanted to pick delicious and ripe fruits, he had to walk a little further.
Wu Chen kept running in one direction for nearly twenty minutes before he stopped.
Lin Xi slid down from his back, and as soon as she landed, she found that there were some purple berries under her feet!
She even crushed several of them with one foot.
As she was looking down, Wu Chen had already bent down and directly pulled out a berry grass and handed it to Lin Xi: "Xixi, this is a small sweet fruit, very delicious."
Lin Xi pulled one off the grass branch, put it in his mouth, and after biting it, the soft flesh melted almost immediately.
It's really sweet!
It was much more delicious than the wild fruits she had tried to eat when she was lost in the forest when she first arrived here!
"Then let's pick some and take them back!"
Lin Xi couldn't help but put another one in his mouth and looked up at Wu Chen.
This wild fruit can be taken back as a snack. She hasn’t been eating well these past few days, so Lin Xi now particularly likes this little sweet fruit!
So the two of them stood under the woods and began to bend down and work.
However, Lin Xi's main purpose of coming out was not to pick the fruit. She wanted to find some edible wild vegetables to eat with grilled or fried meat.
Even though there is oil, eating meat alone is always greasy.
I was worried before that the beastmen didn’t know about these vegetarian foods, but now I know that they also eat them. Since I have the conditions, I can’t treat myself badly!
The two of them picked very quickly. After they had picked almost everything, Lin Xi found several kinds of wild vegetables with the help of Wu Chen.
A kind of wild grass with very wide and long leaves, very similar to the European bear onion, but the taste is slightly sweet, a bit like the taste of cabbage lettuce. Wu Chen said it is called sweetleaf grass.
There are also some black and bulging ones. When you peel off the skin, you will find black worm fruits inside that taste like raw sweet potatoes.
After tasting it, Lin Xi felt that this wild fruit would most likely become her staple food in the future.
But the fruit is too small, only about the size and thickness of a finger.
In addition, there are Bobocai and rolling fruit grass.
The taste of Bobo vegetable is amazing. When you bite it, it feels like biting into a water bag. Lin Xi doesn’t know if it can be used for cooking, but it is also very interesting to eat it raw.
But the rolling fruit grass was Lin Xi’s most surprising gain today!
Because it’s spicy!!
Although the spiciness is low! But for Lin Xi who loves spicy food, this is enough to make her excited!
Her happiness is back!!
So Wu Chen, who was still diligently picking sweetleaf grass for Lin Xi, was surprised to see Lin Xi happily attacking the bunch of tumbleweed!
He quickly stopped her: "Xixi, you can't eat too much of this rolling grass, or your mouth will feel uncomfortable after eating it!"
Unexpectedly, Lin Xi's expression showed no surprise at all. Instead, she raised the handful of fruit grass in her hand that she carefully held and said to him, "No, Wu Chen, I like this!"
"The discomfort you mentioned is caused by the spicy taste of the fruit grass. I like the taste, so I won't feel uncomfortable after eating it!"
Seeing that Wu Chen still had doubts on his face, Lin Xi picked a leaf and put it in his mouth, and continued to explain to Wu Chen:
"Where I used to live, many people like this taste, so there's no need to worry."
Seeing Lin Xi eating a leaf without changing her expression, although Wu Chen still couldn't understand why she liked to eat rolling fruit grass, he didn't stop Lin Xi from picking rolling fruit grass.
Because it is autumn, there seems to be no shortage of food in the forest here.
In less than half an hour, the things Lin Xi and Wu Chen had picked had already covered the animal skins that Wu Chen brought.
Oh!
Next to them were two curly-haired beasts that Wu Chen had hunted.
Lin Xi felt that the curly-haired beast looked very much like a sheep, except that its legs were a little short!
