……

After Bai Susu brought the cub back to the cave, Bai Po and Mei Wuzhi happened to have just returned from hunting. They caught two rabbits, three fish, and picked some mushrooms.

They've been hunting fewer and fewer prey lately. As Bai Po entered, he said, "It's been a beast tide season lately, and large numbers of wild beasts have begun to appear. The males from all tribes have started hunting, occupying the forest and dividing it into areas. As a result, there's been less and less prey to catch."

Bai Susu stood up and helped take the prey, putting the fish into the tank to feed them. She wiped the sweat off their faces and kissed each of them on the cheek: "Thank you for your hard work."

Mei Wuzhi returned the kiss: "Susu, these cubs are very active. It takes a lot of energy to take care of them. You must be hungry. I will go make a fire and grill some meat for you now."

Bai Po: "Susu, take a rest. I'll go help the stinky fox."

Bai Susu pulled them aside and said, "You just came back from hunting and haven't had a good rest yet. Besides, I'm tired of eating grilled meat recently and want to eat something else. You guys should just take a good rest. I'll make you something delicious today."

Bai Susu took a fish, a rabbit, and a pheasant that she had caught earlier out of the cave and tied them up on a small slope next to the cave.

Then he took out the kitchen knife rewarded by the system, put the pheasant on the ground, pressed the chicken's body with his knees, grabbed the chicken's neck with one hand, and began to pull the hair on the chicken's neck.

She picked up a kitchen knife, placed a stone trough in front of her, and cut the pheasant's neck with the knife to catch the blood. When the chicken was dead, she threw it aside.

Afterwards, they processed the bloody hare, scraped off the fish's scales, and cut open the fish's belly to remove its internal organs...

Bai Susu spent an hour cleaning the ingredients, and then took out the rice, iron pot, and seasoning gift package that the system had rewarded her with. She also used her points to exchange for a cutting board and other ingredients.

She washed the rice and put it into an iron pot to cook. While watching the fire, she cut the pheasant, rabbit and fish into pieces.

When the rice is cooked, place another iron pan on the stove, heat oil, add red pepper, onion, ginger and garlic, stir-fry until fragrant, then add diced rabbit meat and stir-fry evenly.

When the rabbit meat changes color, add the chicken essence, soy sauce, salt and bean paste in the seasoning gift package.

After it was fully cooked, I put it in the wooden bowl I had exchanged for, and then made spicy fish and mushroom stewed pheasant...

Because the cubs were still drinking milk, I didn't make their portion and only made the portion for three people.

Bai Susu lowered her head and glanced at the dish she had cooked. It was delicious and fragrant. The stewed chicken soup was rich and umami, mixed with the fragrance of mushrooms. Chicken oil floated in the rich soup, and the color was tempting.

The spicy diced rabbit and fish are covered with bright red chili peppers, which are as red as fire. The fragrance can be smelled from a distance.

After she prepared the meal, she put all the unnecessary utensils into the space, and then called Bai Po and Mei Wuzhi.

Seeing the delicious food she cooked, the two beast husbands were amazed. Bai Po sniffed around the three dishes for a long time. Mei Wuzhi was also very surprised. They had been eating raw food for many years, and only after becoming partners with Bai Susu did they start to eat cooked meat.

This is the first time I have seen such strange food today. I can’t help swallowing my saliva by smelling its delicious aroma.

Bai Susu smiled and said, "Come and try it."

Bai Susu served them rice in a wooden bowl and handed it to them. Bai Po and Mei Wuzhi stared at the rice in their hands, looking at Bai Susu in stunned disbelief.

Bai Susu picked up some food for them and pointed at the rice and said, "This is the first time you've seen this. Come and try it. It's delicious."

Mei Wuzhi looked up blankly, and his eyes were full of admiration, surprise, and love when he looked at Bai Susu. These emotions were mixed together and were extremely complicated.

He said, "Rice...Susu, this is rice!"

"Huh?" Bai Susu was distracted and looked back in surprise. In this world of beasts, the beastmen who lived on raw food actually knew about rice?

She was a little surprised and looked at Mei Wuzhi: "Do you know this thing?"

Mei Wuzhi nodded, and Bai Po beside him also said in surprise: "Susu, not only does this stinky fox know it, I know it too, and the old beastmen in the White Tiger Tribe know it too. This rice was brought by the Beast God hundreds of years ago and has been passed down ever since. Twenty years ago, this thing could be seen in the Beast City."

"This rice is filling when cooked, has a delicate fragrance, and is soft and tender. When I was young, my mother got some rice from Beast City, and I tasted it once."

Seeing that they all knew about rice, Bai Susu was a little surprised: "So you have rice here too, then why have I never seen it before?"

"Is it only possible to exchange food for it in Beast City?"

She was a little excited. If this was the case, it would prove that there were beastmen growing rice in the beast world. In this way, she would not have to use points and the system to exchange rice all the time. Instead, she could learn some rice-growing experience and find land to grow rice herself!

Surprised, she saw that Bai Po and Mei Wuzhi had complicated expressions, so she asked, "What's wrong?"

Bai Po lowered his eyes and explained, "Susu, this rice was indeed only available in Beast City before, but now twenty Beast Years have passed and the rice is gone. Beast City was attacked by stray beasts before, and the last bag of rice seeds is nowhere to be found. The experienced beastmen have also been killed by stray beasts."

"Now, no orcs grow rice anymore. Rice has been lost for a long time."

Bai Po's words instantly extinguished Bai Susu's excitement. Seeing her depressed, Bai Po picked up a piece of meat for her and praised her, "Susu's cooking is really delicious. Come and try it, Susu."

Mei Wuzhi also said: "Susu is the most outstanding female in the tribe. I am very happy to be able to taste these delicacies with Susu."

The two beastly husbands noticed that Bai Susu was in a bad mood, and praised her from the bottom of their hearts, hoping that she would feel better.

Seeing this, Bai Susu laughed out loud, and then ate a piece of spicy fried rabbit meat. The rabbit meat was mixed with the aroma of chili peppers, and the fragrance spread in her mouth. The rabbit meat was soft and tender, leaving a long-lasting aftertaste.

It has been a long time since she had eaten normal food. When she was escaping from the apocalypse, she had eaten rotten meat, raw food, ants and insects. She had eaten anything that could keep her alive.

Now when she eats the home-cooked meals she used to eat, a sense of sadness dissipates in her heart. After several years, she can finally eat a hot meal. These flavors make her feel as if she has returned to the time before the end of the world.

It’s a pity that we can never go back.

I don't know what's going on in her world.

Her nose felt sore and she tried hard to hold back her tears. Bai Po and Mei Wuzhi noticed that she was in a bad mood and tried to coax her clumsily. Even the cub leaned at her feet and kept rubbing its head against her, as if to comfort her.

Seeing that everyone cared about her, she felt a little warm in her heart: "I'm fine, I'm just too happy to be with you, I can't help but shed tears. Eat quickly, or it will get cold soon."

After she said this, the two beastly husbands breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole family was happy.

Bai Susu stared at the rice and what Bai Po had just said emerged in her mind. Who exactly is this Beast God? He is so powerful that the orcs respect him very much and he even brought rice.

She glanced at the white rice in the bowl and thought that when her life became stable, she would find suitable land to grow rice and vegetables, so that her basic life would be guaranteed.

Otherwise, relying solely on hunting for a living would not only be dangerous but also face the crisis of food shortage. In addition, she would continue to give birth to cubs in the future. Not only would there be many cubs, but they would also need a lot of food to grow, and hunting alone would definitely not be enough.

After eating and drinking her fill, Bai Susu lay on a rock to bask in the sun. Bai Po came over and hugged her: "Susu, what did you add to make the cooked meat taste so good?"

Bai Susu said: "Salt, oil, onion, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, broad bean paste, cumin powder, dried chili peppers..."

Bai Po was puzzled, his eyes widened and his pupils dilated. He lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Su Su, among all the things I've heard of, I've only heard of salt..."

"Do you have any salt here?"
