A guide to surviving in the world of beasts

With the return of the hunting team, the cold winter quietly arrives.

During this time, Rising Sun City successfully mined enough coal to survive the winter, and also brought back large quantities of iron ore.

This cold season, Su Ling learned from the last lesson and was no longer frightened by the sudden low temperature as before.

Compared with caves, today's houses have stronger ability to keep out cold and keep warm.

The conditions of the dormitory are relatively poor, but the cold season was fully taken into consideration when it was designed. Although there are no kang beds in the dormitory, heating pipes are installed on the walls.

The source of these heating pipes is located in the canteen on the first floor. Since cooking and boiling water are needed every day, the heating supply will be continuous. Therefore, each dormitory can enjoy a constant source of heat, which is warmer than the cave where the kang bed was originally built.

After the first few days of adapting to the low temperatures, the residents of Rising Sun City gradually resumed their daily work rhythm.

However, there is still much less work to be done in the winter season than at other times, so everyone suddenly has a lot more free time.

When they are free, the tribesmen like to gather in the canteen. After all, except for those who live in the dormitory, those who don't want to cook will come to the canteen to eat. In this way, when everyone meets during meals, they can chat together and share interesting or new things that happened to each other recently.

"Houses are still warmer than caves!" sighed an orc.

"Yes, although we built a kang bed in the cave last winter, it really can't compare to the warmth of a house." Another orc followed suit.

"Alas, last winter we were still in the Fierce Lion Tribe, and several of our companions froze to death in the cave we lived in. We never thought that we could live in such a warm house today." Hu Di also came to the cafeteria to eat and heard everyone's sighs.

He couldn't help but think of what happened in the Fierce Lion Tribe last winter. Although no one in their White Tiger Tribe was frozen to death, most of them were sick from the cold. All of them were huddled together, but they still couldn't get warm at all. Thinking about it now, he couldn't help but shudder.

"Yes, I never thought that we would be able to leave the Fierce Lion Tribe one day, and our lives are much better now than before. It's great!" Niu Tu said with emotion.

"Many people in our tribe also froze to death last winter," Tu Wu said in a heavy tone, his eyes revealing painful memories of the past, "At that time, we didn't have enough food and warm shelter, and could only rely on simple caves to avoid the cold.

Many tribesmen could not endure the severe cold and eventually returned to the embrace of the Beast God."

Tu Wu raised his head, his eyes gleaming with determination. "After getting through the cold season, I was thinking that maybe we wouldn't be able to hold on in the next cold season. I was thinking at that time that maybe our tribe would be extinct in the next cold season. Unexpectedly, the Beast God seemed to favor us and gave us the opportunity to join Rising Sun City."

"Yes, and now that we have a new house, we don't have to worry about freezing to death anymore. Every winter season will be much better in the future!" The other orcs echoed.

"Yes, and the new house is spacious and bright, and much more comfortable to live in." An orc said with a smile.

"Haha, then we must cherish our current life, work hard, and make our tribe stronger and stronger." Hu Di said loudly.

"Okay, we will definitely work hard!" Tu Wu echoed loudly, putting aside all the hardships he had experienced in the past.

There was a sudden burst of laughter in the cafeteria.

……

Since the season, Su Ling and Hu Yi no longer have to go to the city lord's office to work every day. Hu Yi will go out for a patrol every day to see if there are any abnormal situations and to deal with some emergencies. Su Ling will occasionally go out with Hu Yi, but most of the time she will cook something delicious at home. After all, she is still very interested in food.

That day, after Hu Yi went out, Su Ling felt that there was nothing to do, so she went to the kitchen and planned to make some dumplings.

Now that the weather is cold, you can make more and freeze it, and then cook it when you want to eat it.

After she made instant noodles for the first time and sent them to hunters, she used her free time to teach the canteen how to make many different types of noodles.

The people in the cafeteria would make some noodles every few days to change everyone's taste. However, since instant noodles are rather complicated to make, she specially taught the people in the food processing group.

In this way, everyone can now use points to redeem several kinds of instant noodles, which is indeed much more convenient than making them by yourself.

Just when Su Ling had mixed the flour, she suddenly heard Hu Yi's voice: "Why are you mixing the flour? Are you making noodles?"

She looked up and saw that it was Hu Yi who walked into the kitchen. He looked at the dough in her hand with a curious look on his face.

Su Ling smiled and replied, "It's not noodles. I want to make dumplings today! You came back so soon. Don't you have anything to deal with today?"

Hu Yi shook his head and said, "Well, nothing to do today." Then he walked to Su Ling and looked carefully at her kneading the dough, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Then he went to the sink to wash his hands and took over the job of kneading the dough. "I didn't have anything to do today, so I came back early." Hearing Su Ling say that she wanted to make small, delicate and delicious dumplings, "Dumplings, you taught the people in the cafeteria how to make them before. They are delicious, but there are too many people who want to eat them, and it's troublesome to wrap them. The last time the cafeteria made them, no one got a few."

"Then let's make more today, freeze the leftovers and save them for later." Su Ling said with a smile.

"Okay, do more."

Hu Yi took over the task of kneading the dough, and Su Ling began to prepare the filling. By the time she finished preparing the filling, Hu Yi had also finished kneading the dough.

After starting to make dumplings, Su Ling skillfully made round and plump dumplings, but it was more difficult to wrap tiger wings.

As he was wrapping, the fillings either came out or the dumplings became crooked and ugly in all kinds of ways.

Su Ling couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Tiger Wing heard the laughter and said helplessly, "Laugh at me."

"No, no. When I first started wrapping them, they were uglier than yours now. Yours is considered pretty good." Su Ling quickly denied.

Hu Yi of course didn't believe it. Seeing her hastily denying it, he deliberately teased her, "Really?"

"Of course it's true!" Su Ling nodded affirmatively.

Hu Yi chuckled, didn't say whether he believed it or not, and continued to make dumplings seriously.

After a period of hard work, the dumplings made by Hu Yi still don’t look very good, but the stuffing will no longer come out.

In addition to dumplings, a lot of buns were also made at the end, and the kitchen was filled with dumplings and buns of various shapes.

Looking at the results of a day's work, Su Ling and Hu Yi smiled at each other, their hearts filled with a sense of accomplishment.

After leaving behind what he was going to eat, Hu Yi took the rest out of the kitchen and froze it in a homemade refrigerator.
