My Salted Fish Life in the Beast World

In the hall, people were chatting and laughing. From time to time, when Ming wasn't paying attention, Shi Erye would secretly drink a sip of his fruit wine, like a little civet cat that had successfully stolen some fish.

As a result, by the end of the dinner, Erye had fallen asleep, leaning on Ming's arm, with red cheeks and blurry eyes.

Ming held her in his arms, with a look of confusion on his face.

Dao saw that everyone had eaten and drunk well, so he ordered people to clear away the cups, plates and cutlery. He took a sip of water and said to Yue: "Yue'er, the room is ready. It is decorated as usual. I don't know if Ye needs anything else. You take Ming to send Ye to his room to rest. If there is anything missing, ask Uncle Fu to buy it."

Dao glanced at Shi Erye who was already fast asleep in Ming's arms, and said to Ming: "Ming, go and take Shi Erye to your room to rest! Your mother will be watching over you. Come here, the males in our family haven't been together for a long time. We need to have a good talk tonight." After saying that, he looked at Uncle Fu, "Ah Fu, lead the way, and everything will be arranged by Yue'er."

"Yes, sir!" Uncle Fu responded and walked to Yue. "Miss, follow me."

Ming knew that Grandpa was curious about Ye. He also wanted to explain it to Tongdao as soon as possible. Duidao nodded, hugged Shi Erye, followed Yue and went to his room.

The male's room is simple and rough. There is only a table, a few chairs, a big bed, and a shelf next to it. The room is simple and clear at a glance.

In previous years, Yue and Ming would not think that there was anything wrong, as this was a very comfortable environment. Now, looking at Shi Erye in Ming's arms, Yue could not help but feel picky.

He walked forward and touched the animal skin mattress on the bed. He said to Uncle Fu, "This mattress is a little thin, Uncle Fu, go get some more mattresses."

"Hey!" Uncle Fu hurried out and took out a few thick animal skin mattresses from the storeroom next door. He then hurried back to the room and helped to lay out the mattress with swift hands and feet.

Yue tried it with her hand, "Well, let's just make do with it tonight. Ming, put Ye to bed and get some rest."

Ming moved steadily and gently, put Shi Erye on the bed, fetched some water, and gently wiped Shi Erye.

Even Uncle Fu couldn't help but sigh when he saw it, "Young Master, what a good and beastly husband." Oh! Who knows, when the young master returns home this time, some females in the boudoir will be secretly sad again!

After the second night of the next day, he settled everything down. He said to Yue: "I'm going to my grandfather... my grandfather. I'll trouble you to accompany me tonight!"

"Go quickly! Ye, don't worry. I'm very alert. I will take good care of her!"

"Yes, young master, go find the master quickly. My female is right next to him, waiting in the storage room. If there is anything, the young lady will hear you when she calls you!" Uncle Fu was also nearby and assured.

"Well! Thank you for your hard work, mother. Thank you for your help, Uncle Fu." Ming said, looking at Shi Erye affectionately and left the room.

Seeing that everything was ready, Uncle Fu also stepped out.

At this time, Dao's study was not as lively and cheerful as the banquet. On the contrary, the atmosphere was a bit heavy. Ming entered the room and felt the dullness of the crowd.

He glanced at the gifts his father brought on the table and understood what was going on.

Dao saw Ming push the door open and walked in. He stood up in surprise. "Hey! Ming! I've been waiting for you. Close the door quickly! Don't dawdle! Close the door!" Dao saw that it was Ming, so he sat down again and instructed Ming to close the door.

"Ahem! Everyone is here. Now..." "Zhao, go check again to see if the doors and windows are locked." Dao was a little worried, so he asked Zhao to check again.

Zhao turned around and nodded, "Don't worry, Father. Everything is locked. Don't worry. At worst, I will guard the door and use my spiritual sense to keep watch for you within a hundred meters!"

"You are the only one who can do this! Why are you spreading rumors? Come here quickly!" Dao glanced at Zhao, told him to hurry up and sit in his seat.

At the long wooden table, Dao sat at the first seat, Wei and Ya sat on his left, and Zhao and Ming sat on his right.

Dao cleared his throat. "Yeah! Yeah! It's time for our family meeting again. This year is really different from the past. At the beginning, Wei and Ya gave me such a big surprise! You two tell us about it!" Dao emphasized the surprise.

"Hey! Old man, there's nothing to say. The harvest is good this year. You know how capable we are. We made a little more money. I'll buy you some pottery to honor you. What's the big deal?"

Wei was still organizing her words, thinking about how to start her speech. Ya had already started talking with a giggle.

Without covering his face, he thought, this Ya Ke is really a tiger! Using the same tricks to coax a little kid to deal with an old fox? He just waited for the blow.

Sure enough, Dao listened to Ya's nonchalant reply. He almost threw the pottery in his hand at his face. He slammed the table twice. "Are you kidding me? Did you two eat all the prey in the southern border? Otherwise, how could you get so many pottery? And you are making a fuss about nothing!? You are just bragging, how come I didn't brag about you to the sky? Don't speak again! Get out of the way!" Dao glared at Ya, looking like he didn't want to listen to him speak anymore. His eyes were focused on Wei.

"Um...Father! This is a long story!" Wei, who had not yet organized his words, answered with gritted teeth.

"Let's make it short." Dao said in an impatient tone.

"Forehead……"

"Let me tell you." Ming stood up and spoke. Ming knew that it was a fool's dream to tell a lie to deceive his grandfather who was a prophet by giving away the pottery. No matter what, he told his grandfather the truth. He would firmly protect Ye. He believed that his grandfather and uncle would support him like his father and mother. Otherwise, his father would not feel at ease and give out the pottery.

"These pottery pieces were made by the three of us, father and son," Ming said.

"What?!" Dao and Zhao were confused. They thought that the three of them had robbed the pottery in the royal city. They were thinking about how to cover it up. Unexpectedly, Ming's words directly hit them in the heart.

"Did I hear it right? Mingzi said that the three of them were making pottery?" Dao scratched his ears and said to Zhao.

Zhao was also confused and didn't know how to start.

"Grandpa, uncle, you heard me right. These pottery pieces are made by us. Look, the white pottery here is made by us using another kind of clay. Have you ever seen pottery with such beautiful colors in the royal city?" Ming picked out a piece of white pottery made of kaolin and handed it to the two of them.

The two carefully took the pottery and examined it carefully under the oil lamp. Hmm! Not bad, pure white color, fine texture, huh? Is there a pattern on it?

Dao and Zhao found that the pottery in their hands was very different from the ones at home, so they picked up each piece on the table and compared and observed them.

“There are actually patterns on the surface of these pottery pieces!”

“It’s so beautiful!”

Dao Hezhao exclaimed excitedly.

Ming was sure that the two believed him. He said to them, "If Grandpa and Uncle don't believe us, we can still burn it in front of you!"

The two of them calmed down from their excitement.

"We believe you! Zhao, go to the back, take out the wooden box, and lock up these pottery!" Dao ordered.

"Okay!" Zhao turned around to look for the wooden box.

Ming was a little annoyed, "Grandpa, when I fired it, I thought of giving it to you as a gift, so I made it more delicate. I didn't expect that it would be so different from the usual pottery. We will fire another batch for you next time for daily use." Ming said to Dao apologetically.

"Okay, I'm satisfied that you have such filial piety! But this matter is of great importance. You must not let the news leak out!" Dao said to Ming kindly while looking at him.

"Hey!" Then he said worriedly: "Now, tell me about your little female. What's going on with her? Don't lie to me. You know, the orcs in the southern border have no surnames. Even in the northern border, only nobles are qualified to have surnames. However, as for this surname, I really can't think of which noble it is." Dao frowned and said as he thought about it.

"Ye is not from the Southern Territory," Ming said calmly.

Dao and Zhao, who had packed the boxes, had an expression that said, "As expected."

"But she's not from the North either." Ming looked at the expressions of the two and continued.

"What?" Dao Hezhao showed an uneasy look.

"Don't be ridiculous. It's understandable that she is not from the South, but how is it possible that she is not from the North?" Dao said in disbelief when his guess was overturned.

"Yes, Grandpa, to be honest, Ye taught us the pottery-making technique. She also taught us many valuable techniques." Ming took out the gift that Shi Erye prepared for him from the space and placed it in front of him.

"This is a gift that Ye prepared for you with all her heart. She hopes you will like it." Ming said as he helped to open it and let Dao take a look.

Dao looked at the gift in front of him solemnly, and was very touched. He and Zhao couldn't resist the smell of some new and novel foods, so they tasted them on the spot.

"Hmm! Delicious! Ming boy is so lucky! The little female is an amazing cook!" The two of them praised Shi Erye generously.

There were some unfamiliar foods, such as rice and flour. Mingdu explained to them one by one that these were new edible foods that Ye had discovered in the southern border. They still needed to be processed, and the food they made was very delicious.

After tasting the snacks made by Shi Erye, the two began to look forward to the rice and flour.

The last few bags were filled with snow-white powder. "Oh? What kind of plant is this powder from? It's really white, I like it." Dao pointed at the refined salt and said.

There was a hint of teasing in Ming's eyes. "Then Grandpa and Uncle, try it and see if it suits your taste?"

The two of them didn't suspect anything and scooped up a large spoonful of it and put it into their mouths.

"Ugh! Pah! Pah! Pah!" They both spat out at the same time and looked for water to rinse their mouths.

Looking at Ming's curved eyes, he knew he had been fooled by this little bastard.

"Okay! You little bastard! How dare you play tricks on me and your uncle..." Dao pointed at Ming and blamed him.

The salty taste in his mouth faded a little. He smacked his lips. He tasted the flavor. His face suddenly became serious.

Without his reminder, Zhao quickly flashed to the door and used his spiritual sense to search the area within a hundred meters. When he found nothing unusual, he returned to his seat and nodded to the knife.

"Is it salt?" Dao looked at the large bags of salt and asked seriously.

"Yes, Grandpa, this is what Ye taught us. Now we are completely self-sufficient in salt." Ming also put away his playful attitude and answered Dao's question respectfully and seriously.

Dao and Zhao were so shocked that their brains went numb. For a long while, they looked at the three people.

"How many people know about these things?" Dao stared at the three people and questioned.

"Don't worry, Grandpa. We are the only three who know about pottery. As for salt, only the tribe's trusted warriors know about it. After all, the three of us can't extract enough salt all at once. We have to find help." Ming replied.

"Well! These things can't be leaked out anymore. You have to keep a close eye on them. Don't let anyone betray you. The fewer people who know about it, the better." Dao instructed several people.

As he said that, he looked at Ming with mixed feelings. "No matter where your female is from, since we are already together, she belongs to me, Yue. When you are out there, you need to protect her more and be careful with your words and actions. Don't cause trouble, but don't be afraid of trouble. Grandpa will always be behind you to support you!"

Although Ming had expected the result, he couldn't help but feel touched and grateful when Dao said the words of eternal support. He stood up and saluted Dao solemnly. "Thank you, Grandpa! I'll remember it!"

"Well! Okay, the gifts have been delivered, and it's getting late. If there is anything, we can talk about it tomorrow. You three should go back and accompany your females. Don't stay with me, an old man. By the way, don't let Yue and Ye know about what happened tonight, so that they won't worry about it." Dao waved his hand at the three people and ordered them to leave.

"it is good!"

"Then you rest!"

"We're backing off."

The gift was delivered successfully, and Dao's attitude finally made him feel relieved. The three of them were very happy and went back to their rooms to look for their own... um... the moon and the night must have gone to bed tonight!

"Mmmmm..." The three big tigers that were wagging their tails just now, looked unhappy and disliked each other, and huddled together under the same eaves to rest.
