A guide to surviving in the world of beasts

Su Ling and Hu Yi spent a few rare days of leisurely and happy time together. Su Ling really lived a corrupt life these days with nothing to lose but clothes to wear and food to eat.

After that, we became busy again. The seedlings in the nursery field had grown to a length that was ready for planting.

The people in the tribe gathered together again and got busy. During the few days that Su Ling and the other person were resting, the tribesmen had already plowed over all the paddy fields and irrigated them.

After pulling out the seedlings in the morning, Su Ling took the tribesmen to plant the seedlings.

There are quite a few paddy fields that need to be planted, and they are distributed near the river, one after another.

The orcs on the ridges threw bundles of seedlings into the paddy fields. Under the guidance of Su Ling, the people who got the seedlings planted them obliquely in rows into the paddy fields.

The row spacing and spacing are between 20 and 30 centimeters. The seedlings are inserted obliquely into the paddy field and are not easily blown down by the wind when the wind blows.

It was the first time for everyone in the tribe to plant rice seedlings, and everyone felt it was very new. However, it obviously did not require so many people. Su Ling saw that the people who were planting rice seedlings had already mastered the technique, so she took the rest of the tribesmen to plant sweet potato vines.

The weather was very good during this period, and the sweet potato vines grew lushly, covering the planted land with lush green.

The land for growing sweet potatoes was selected with abundant water resources. Su Ling taught everyone to use the flat planting method to grow sweet potatoes.

This method is widely used in large plots, and seedlings of 20 to 30 cm in length are generally used for seedling cultivation.

When planting, it is required to dig a shallow trench along the ridge, then place the seedlings flat in the shallow soil layer 10 cm deep below the ridge surface, exposing the seedlings, and cover the soil tightly.

The advantage of this planting method is that most nodes can take root and produce tubers, there are very few empty nodes, and the tubers become more and more neat.

The flat planting method, combined with better water and fertilizer conditions, can easily produce high yields. The disadvantage is that it has poor drought resistance. If exposed to high temperatures, premature drying, poor soil and other adverse environmental conditions, it is easy to lack seedlings or plants, and lack of nutrition due to the large number of tubers, which leads to an increase in small tubers and ultimately affects the yield.

Therefore, it is necessary to ensure fertile and water conditions.

"Su Ling, if we just bury these vines in the soil, can we grow sweet potatoes?"

"Yes, there is plenty of water here, and the soil is fertile. We can probably dig sweet potatoes in the hot season."

There is plenty of rain in this season, and it rains every few days. Getting caught in the rain has become a common occurrence.

These two days, after planting all the crops that needed to be planted, Su Ling had a rare period of free time. She was trying to make some dairy products with the animal milk that she had just squeezed in the morning.

The freshly squeezed milk has a fishy smell and is difficult to drink, so it needs secondary processing.

Some time ago, the wild chestnut beast that was captured and raised in the tribe gave birth to cubs. The milk was so abundant that the little beast could not finish it all. Su Ling saw it.

He and Hu Yi took the wooden bucket and went to milk the two lactating wild chestnut beasts. They squeezed out more than half a bucket of milk, about fifty to sixty kilograms.

Animal milk is very nutritious, so I thought of bringing it back and boiling it to supplement the nutrition for the cubs in the tribe. However, there was no sugar in it, so even after boiling it didn't taste good. It still had a faint smell of milk.

Although it is nutritious, the little cubs can't really accept the taste. Su Ling also thinks the taste is not very good, so she plans to make some dairy products when she has time.

Having had some free time these days, Su Ling planned to make some dairy products with the animal milk so that so much animal milk would not be wasted.

Hu Yi and Lang Ji went out to check the terrain to see where was suitable for building a house. Now only Su Ling, Wei and Xiao Lang Feng were left in the cave.

Little Wolf Feng is now a chubby black wolf cub with soft fur all over his body and pink pads on his little paws, which make people want to pinch them.

Little orcs can transform into beast form one month after birth. Before their human form can walk, they prefer to transform into beast form.

The little cub, who couldn't even crawl in human form, could already run and jump in beast form. This was considered a very strange thing in the eyes of Su Ling, a pure human.

But now is not the time to lament about the orc cubs. The important thing to do first is to process the animal milk in hand. Raw milk has a strong fishy smell. After heating, it needs to be added with some sweeteners such as honey to make it taste good. However, honey is rare, and it is not even a season now. There are no wild fruits, so how can there be sweeteners?

Su Ling only had a little honey left that Hu Yi had collected before the cold season, which was not enough.

So Su Ling just wanted to make cheese and yogurt. Yogurt tastes good without any sweeteners. After the cheese is made, Hu Yi and his friends can take some with them as food when they go out hunting in the tribe.

Cheese is a high-calorie food that is especially effective in satisfying hunger and quenching thirst. When the time comes, if the tribe raises more of these wild chestnut beasts, they can make more cheese, which can then be brought in to exchange for supplies on trading days.

Any cheese and yogurt that can be made is beneficial to both the adults and children in the tribe.

The little wolf cub ran back and forth around Su Ling and Wei, occasionally pouncing on anything he could see. If you didn't know that he was an orc, he would look no different from those wolf cubs who were just born not long ago.

Su Ling shook her head and laughed, filtering the fresh milk with a cloth. Seeing Lang Feng running around, she was really afraid that he would fall down if he wasn't careful. She said to Wei who wanted to help, "This kid is so lively. Wei, just watch him. I'll take care of these things."

"It doesn't matter, as long as they don't get hurt. Orc cubs are very tough and it's common for them to fall and fight. Just wipe them clean before they go to bed at night." Wei said indifferently. Although cubs are precious, the environment in which they grow up does not allow them to live too pampered.

Well, maybe she was so worried because she knew too little about the orc cubs.

The little guy might have heard Su Ling mention him, so he tilted his head back and hummed a few times to Su Ling, as if he was agreeing with his mother.

Su Ling leaned over and rubbed his head. It felt really good, but it wouldn't be so soft after his fur changed. "Well, I'll teach you how to make pudding with animal milk, and then you can make it for the cub."

Wei nodded in surprise, "Okay, thank you, what are you going to do now? I'll help you."

During this period of time, she has learned a lot of delicious cooking methods from Su Ling. She had never thought that food could be cooked in so many ways. Now that Su Ling said she wanted to teach her how to cook a new dish, she was of course happy.

"I'm just trying to make some yogurt and cheese now. I'm not sure if it will be successful. The quantity is not large, so I can finish it by myself. Just watch me first, and I'll ask you to help me when I succeed."
