Traveling through the world of beasts, making a living

"Bang, bang, bang" the bells rang three more times, and the square immediately became quiet.

"The hunting team returned today with a lot of food. Tatsuya is safe now, and our tribe has a shaman. Let's have a bonfire party tonight! Everyone, get ready!"

The audience roared and the atmosphere reached its climax!

In the beast world, every bonfire party is a party where females choose beast husbands. The adult males have been waiting for this moment for a long time, so they are ready like crazy. Some carry stone vats, take beasts to clean, some carry coconut shells and stone bowls, some carry firewood, and some build stoves. The whole place is full of joy! Mona nestled in Bixi's arms, a smile in her eyes. This time travel seems to be not bad!

Mona watched the beasts in the square working hard. She was curious about how they grilled and cooked the minced meat. She'd eaten two meals here, all meat. Were there any other staples? When she saw five or six orcs dismembering a wild boar (a humming beast) and placing it in a large stone pot in the center of the square, preparing to bury the head, tail, ribs, entrails, and pig's feet, she couldn't help herself any longer. She jumped out of Bixi's arms and pointed at the orcs.

"Are you going to bury it?"

"Yes, Wu, what's left are just bones. There's not much meat, not even enough to fill the gaps between your teeth. The internal organs are smelly and fishy, and the smell of blood attracts wild beasts."

"Don't bury it yet. This is meat. If you process it properly, it won't smell or smell bad. These are precious things. It would be a shame to waste them."

The orcs dismembering another beast paused, looking at each other in bewilderment, fearing their next move would be incomplete and wasteful. After all, in the beast world, wasting food is the greatest sin.

When the clan leader Yun heard the sound, he came over immediately and asked kindly:

"Wu, do you mean these are edible?"

The chief and other orcs also looked hopeful, but nervous. In the past snowy seasons, they had cooked and eaten when there was no food, but they really didn't want to recall that taste.

"You can eat them, but you have to prepare them properly. I'll teach you how to prepare them now. Bring the rest and we'll process them together!"

Tourmaline approaches Mona

"Wu, what should we do? I'll do it!"

"Is there a river or stream nearby?" "Yes, there is a small river on the south side of the tribe. We all get water there."

"Two males, come and bring these internal organs, including the head, tail, and feet. Two females, come and wash these internal organs with me."

When the males heard this, two of them came out immediately and worked together with Bixi to deal with it, while the females frowned, pouted, and covered their mouths and noses with their hands, their expressions showing disgust.

"Wu, let me do it!"

Yun, who was standing beside the patriarch, spoke up. "Good fellow, you don't have to be so cooperative." Yun was a priestess, a being superior to the patriarch, and a wise man who had lived through hundreds of snowy seasons! How dare you trouble her? The patriarch winked, and two females emerged, hand in hand. Mona swallowed.

My God, this older woman looks like a beauty who walked out of the misty rain of Jiangnan. She is dignified, generous, graceful, gentle, and has a bookish air. She is like a modern intellectual beauty.

The younger one had long, slightly curly wine-red hair, three-dimensional features, and seductive eyes. Her figure was curvaceous, and even the short animal-skin tube top couldn't hide her beauty. Her long, straight legs glowed with a translucent white light beneath her animal-skin skirt. She truly lived up to the saying "beautiful snake."

"Tsk tsk tsk"

"Wu, I am the clan leader's companion, named Rou, and this is my female cub, named Hongshang. We are here to help you."

Mona looked away after hearing the voice. The men and women in this beast world are so good-looking. If they were in modern times, they would definitely be top stars.

"Oh! Oh! Okay! Okay! Let's go! Let's go!"

A group of six people walked towards the river. It was Mona's first time to see the outskirts of the tribe. No one spoke along the way, as if they were afraid of offending their witch, and they were also a little respectful. Mona glanced left and right, and suddenly found a plant on the roadside that looked like onion and ginger. She immediately stopped, walked over, touched it with her hand, closed her eyes, and immediately scanned the system in her mind.

"Host, wild onions, wild ginger, all edible. There are also mint and water celery next to them."

"Oh my god, Tongzi, you are really amazing. I decided to take you to the sun every day."

At Mona's request, each beast plucked some, thinking it would be no problem to make a seasoning. When they reached the river, Bixi asked the two males to put down the ingredients and listen to Mona's instructions!

"Bixi, do you have a knife?"

"No, I use snake scales to process food, which is better than a bone knife."

"Huh? There is such a thing, okay, give me one."

"Wu, you tell us and we'll do it."

"Come, take a knife and shave off all the hair from the head, tail, and feet. You three males can do this."

"Rouhe and Hongshang, come here."

Two beautiful women came over, Mona struggled to lift a string of pig intestines, Rou saw this and reached out to take it.

"Wu, you say, I do."

"First find the intestine and turn it inside out. It smells a bit bad. Put this in your nostrils and it won't stink. Hongshang, the same goes for you!"

Mona took a few mint leaves and gave them to the two females.

After a while, the two beautiful females were seen moving their fingers swiftly and agilely. The three males were also slashing with their knives, scraping them swiftly. Mona asked Tongzi quietly:

"Tongzi, can I exchange something?"

"You currently have fifty points, issued by the Jiuda system. Are you sure you want to redeem them?"

"How many points are needed for a bag of salt, a bag of flour, and a bucket of soy sauce?"

"Thirty points, ten points for each."

"Bixi, come here for a moment."

Mona had no choice but to call Bixi and said she was going back to the cave to get something to clean it. If she took something out of thin air here, she was afraid it would scare them silly.

Tourmaline came over obediently, turned into a snake, and returned to the cave. Mona took out salt and flour, wrapped them in animal skins in the corner, and returned to the river.

She spread the intestines on a large, smooth rock, sprinkled them with flour and salt, and rubbed them vigorously with her hands. Rouhe Hongchang followed suit! After a moment, they were done. They swung them in the river, and the white, tender intestines were washed. The three males followed Mona's example and rinsed them in the river; they were also spotless! Then they headed back to the square.

In the square, several large pots of meat were boiling, and the air was filled with the strong smell of meat. The little ones were drooling and shouting.

“Mother, mother, my cub wants to eat meat.” …

When Mona returned to the square and saw this scene, she didn't say much and went directly to the empty stone pot.

"Bixi, separate the animal's head, cut off its ears, separate its hooves, and put its intestines in this pot to cook."

Bixi and the other two beasts moved without hesitation, adding meat and water and beginning to simmer. Mona took out the ginger, cut it with the snake scales Bixi had given her, and threw it into the pot. She then poured in the soy sauce from the coconut shell, turning the broth brownish-red.

As the fire grew bigger, the smell became stronger, and the air was filled with an alluring aroma. All the beasts stared at the pot and swallowed their saliva.

About an hour later, Mona took out her homemade wooden chopsticks, poked the pig's head and feet, and easily pierced them.

"Well, it's almost done. Turn down the heat."

Then I added the washed water celery and salt. I used a wooden chopstick to scoop up some of the broth. I put it in my mouth and tasted it. Wow! This uncontaminated wild boar broth was truly delicious. It was incredibly fresh.

The meat in the pots had been cooked for a long time, but all the animals spontaneously lined up on Mona's side with stone bowls and coconut shells. Mona called Rouhe Hongshang and asked them to share the meat with wooden spoons!

"The cubs come first, followed by the old beasts, then the females, and finally the males. I didn't cook enough today, so I'll cook a few more pots next time."

The kids who got the soup and meat walked aside with their bowls, drooling and sniffing.

"It smells so good!"

He took a gulp and nearly swallowed his tongue! A moment later, the soup and meat were distributed, but a few males still didn't get a share! But he didn't seem disappointed. Mona nodded, very pleased with the courtesy shown. She glanced around quietly. Oh my god, all the swallowing sounds!

Bixi took the soup she got and gave it to Mona

"Wu, have a drink! You've been tired all day."

Mona took a sip from tourmaline's hand, her eyes slightly narrowed, and her tongue tip felt the unpolluted deliciousness.

"Yeah! You drink too!"

Bixi's face slowly turned red, extending all the way to her neck!
