Childbearing System: All the big bosses in the beast world are her offspring.
Chapter 196: Teaching Cassava Delicacy
Ruan Tang was surprised for a moment when she saw that Mo Ran was actually willing to let Long Ming help her prepare bath water. This man was not usually so easy to talk to.
She knew that he did it for her. Having a strong male as a partner would provide her with an extra layer of security.
She cast her gaze over to Mo Ran, who had just said a few words to Long Ming and then continued to cook. It was as if Mo Ran had eyes on his back. As she looked over, he also turned his head to look back. Seeing her smile, his stern brows softened a bit, and he mouthed to her, "Go take a good bath."
Ruan Tang smiled, nodded sweetly to him, and also said to him through lip language: "A Ran is the best."
The man, who was used to being cold, couldn't help but grin when she praised him like this. Without saying anything else, he waved to her sweetly in his heart and turned around to continue making food.
Long Ming prepared the bath water and even wanted to take care of Ruan Tang while she took a bath. The males who had just come back from the bath were busy peeling cassava peels, so how could they agree to this? Bai Lang quickly washed his hands and drove Long Ming out, "I'll do it."
Bai Lang is Ruan Tang's first beastly husband. Although Long Ming was reluctant to leave, he still left the room. Ruan Tang waited until Long Ming left before she started to take off her clothes.
Bai Lang walked over to help her and whispered in her ear with a sour tone, "If I hadn't come in, would Ruan Ruan have asked Long Ming to take care of you while you took a bath?"
Ruan Tang looked at him seriously, letting him see her complete clothes, "Am I such a casual female?"
Bai Lang's handsome face felt a little uncomfortable when she looked at him. He knew that as her first beast husband, he shouldn't be jealous and say such sour words, but when he saw her outside just now and she didn't refuse Long Ming to stay, he still felt a little sour in his heart. After all, Long Ming had the strongest combat power, and like Ruan Ruan, he was a messenger of the Beast God. It was natural for her to like him.
"That's not what I meant. Ruan Ruan, don't be angry. I'll help you pop the bubbles." He was just afraid that Ruan Ruan would slowly ignore them after having a strong male like Long Ming. He had seen too much of what life would be like for males who were not liked by their partners in the tribe, and he didn't want to be one of them.
Ruan Tang closed her eyes, turned her back to Bai Lang, and lay on the edge of the wooden barrel, exposing her fair back. She let Bai Lang help her pop bubbles. "I'm not angry, and don't think too much. As long as you are wholeheartedly for me and this family, no matter who comes to the family in the future, we are all family. I won't favor anyone over the other, or ignore anyone."
"Well, Ruan Ruan is the best partner and never favors anyone. I know I was narrow-minded today, but I won't do that again in the future." Bai Lang felt a little ashamed of his previous thoughts. Ruan Ruan was obviously so good. Since he had been with her, she had never been like the little females in other families to any of them, either favoring a beastly husband or getting angry and not letting the males get close to her, or even driving the males who made her unhappy out of the house.
Ruan Tang didn't say anything else and lay down to enjoy her husband's service. She knew the uneasiness and anxiety in their hearts. After all, there were already several males in the family, and now there was another one with such strong fighting ability. She was alone with one heart, but they were overthinking it. She would not favor any one of them too much, because she always loved herself the most.
There were a bunch of people waiting outside, so Ruan Tang didn't soak for as long as usual. She let Bai Lang scrub her simply, then she rinsed herself, put on her clothes and came out.
She promised to teach the males in the house how to cook today, and she won't go back on her word.
"Have you all peeled and washed the cassava?" Ruan Tang came straight to the point as soon as she came out of the bathroom.
"Ruan Ruan, are you ready? What should we do?" Long Ming is still in the stage of pursuing a partner, and he is always the first to walk to Ruan Tang.
Ruan Tang looked at the cassava in front of the males, which was white and tender like yam after being washed. "Put it all on the table. Let's make the simplest one first, which we can eat soon."
The males moved quickly, placing the cleaned cassava on the long table and waiting for Ruan Tang's next instruction.
The kids formed a circle around the long table, stretching their necks. They hadn't transformed into human form yet, and couldn't do many complicated tasks, so they wouldn't run to join in the fun and cause trouble for their mother. They could just watch from a distance and learn some skills.
Ruan Tang gave the children an appreciative look and said to the males, "First, let's make a cassava soup. Once this is done, I'll teach you how to make cassava cakes."
"There are many more, like cassava vermicelli, cassava pearls, cassava soup, and many other foods that can be made from cassava. We don't need to rush into this now, we can learn more slowly in the future."
"Okay, then how do we make this cassava soup?" This was the first time Long Ming learned how to cook, and his golden eyes were full of interest.
"First, let's cut the cassava into small pieces." The cassava in this beastly world was not as thin as in later generations. Ruan Tang needed both hands to hold the cassava in front of her and cut it into potato-sized pieces with a knife. "This size will be fine."
The males had big hands, so cutting was not difficult. One piece of this thing could cut a whole basin, and soon the container in front of them was full.
Ruan Tang said, "Put the cut cassava in the pot and add plenty of water. This way, the cassava will become soft and sticky."
After they put the cassava in place and added water as she requested, she took out a large bag of rock sugar from the space. She had never used this thing since she got it, but it was still quite time-consuming to make sugar water. She would see if she could find the raw materials for making sugar in the forest in the future. Everyone loves sweet things, and eating only honey would make one sick of it. If she could make a few more kinds, she would certainly try them.
After telling them how much sugar to add and watching them add it, she said, "Light the fire. Bring it to a boil over high heat first, then simmer it over low heat. Once it's done, don't stir it yet. Let it simmer in the pot for a while so that it becomes softer and sweeter."
The males were all making this food called cassava for the first time, and they were learning very seriously, especially Long Ming, who was learning to make it for the first time.
It's not like they haven't seen this thing before, but this thing called cassava has a thick skin on the outside, which is hard and bitter. They never knew that this thing can be eaten, so they have to rely on their partner, who is smart and knowledgeable. This cassava syrup smells sweet and delicious, and they wonder what it will taste like after it is cooked.
When the fire started and the pot began to boil, Ruan Tang said, "It will take a long time to cook. Add firewood to the stove. Let's make the second kind, cassava cake. This method is relatively more complicated."
"Each of you take a basin, and then cut the cassava into pieces like this." There were no tools for shredding here. Ruan Tang had the drawing in her hand that Ling Lingjiu gave her when they were in the tribe. She asked Mo Bai to make it, but she was not worried that the males would not be able to do it well, because they were all very strong and had claws, and it was a simple task to break the cassava into small pieces.
"Do you know how to do it?" Ruan Tang taught very seriously because the children's eyes were always fixed on the movements of her hands.
"Well, it means to crush the cassava into crumbs. The finer the better, right?" Mo Ran looked at the cassava crumbs in Ruan Tang's bowl.
"Well, the finer the shreds are, the better the steamed cassava tastes." Ruan Tang grabbed a handful of shredded cassava, squeezed it, and demonstrated to the males, "After crushing it, it should be able to squeeze out juice like this."
These tasks were not difficult for the hardworking and studious males. They all did it easily and quickly filled the wooden basins.
"What should we do next?" Long Ming has always been very interested and moved the fastest.
"Are you ready? First, squeeze out some of the excess juice. Don't squeeze it too dry," Ruan Tang demonstrated to them. "Then add this fine sugar and some salt."
She didn't have a scale and couldn't be so precise, so she could only try to add it. "Okay, add these and mix well, so that the cassava is fully integrated with the sugar and salt."
"Is it mixed well? Then crack a few eggs and stir them up." As she spoke, she took out a basket of eggs from the space. These were all eggs that the children had taken out from bird nests.
"After stirring, pour it into the cassava bowl and mix well, then add a little of this." Originally, cassava flour should be added, but she didn't have it ready, so she had to use sweet potato flour instead.
"This must be mixed thoroughly, there must not be any dry powder." After doing this, she quickly took out a pot of oil that had been boiled with wild animal fat from the space and said to Chi Yuan, "A Yuan, use your supernatural power to melt this oil."
"Okay." She finally called his name, and Chi Yuan's heart, which had been depressed all day, perked up a little. Ever since that dragon beastman said he wanted to pursue her as his partner this morning, he had been trying to steal his limelight. Today, Ruan Ruan's eyes fell on him much less often. He thought Ruan Ruan didn't like him anymore...
Chi Yuan's fire ability will soon break through to the seventh level. It only takes a moment to melt a little oil. "Ruan Ruan, I'm done. What should I do next?"
Ruan Tang blinked her eyes at him and smiled playfully, "Then add the oil according to the amount of cassava in your bowl and mix well."
It’s over. She didn’t have the coconut milk for the last step. Ruan Tang urgently called 009.
My dear host, your little system is always there. Do you need coconut milk? It's easy. You can buy a bottle with one point. Each bottle weighs 1 kg.
[Let me help the host see how many bottles he needs to make these today. Hmm, I figured it out. A total of 5 bottles are needed, and they can be purchased for 5 points. Do you want to buy them?]
"Don't use a bottle, just put it in the bamboo tube." Why are you looking for it if you don't want to buy it?
[Received!] No matter how small a mosquito is, it still counts as meat. As long as there is profit to be made, Ling Ling Jiu’s attitude is always very positive.
"Okay, after adding all these things, it's time for the final and most crucial step," Ruan Tang took out a few bamboo tubes and placed them on the table.
"Is this coconut milk?" Long Ming sniffed and could tell that the sweet smell was very similar to the coconut milk in their southern continent.
Ruan Tang: ...
She forgot that there was a person living by the sea here.
"Yes, pour this into the basin in proportion according to the amount of cassava and mix well. The preparation of the cassava cake is ready." She did not explain how she got coconut milk. The men in the family had long been accustomed to her being able to conjure up all kinds of strange things at any time. Long Ming had no longer been surprised after following her all the way.
After finishing all this, it was almost dark. Ruan Tang said to the males, "Mix it well and leave it here for a while. It's getting dark. Let's cook and process the prey. I need to rest for a while."
Long Ming pointed at the cassava he had stirred and asked, "What happens next?"
"First, boil water in a pot, then steam the prepared ingredients until cooked." It should have been an oven, but there's no oven here. It doesn't matter, steaming is healthier...
"Okay." It turns out that this cassava cake is made in this way, and it is not very complicated. Long Ming felt that he had learned the general idea after doing it once. He quietly walked aside and went over what Ruan Tang had taught him just now in his mind. When he turned around and came back, there was a very confident light in his golden eyes.
The adults all went to prepare food, and the kids gathered around their mother, some massaging her legs, some massaging her shoulders.
"Mom, is my massage comfortable?" Yitian is taller now, and her mother is lying on the recliner, so she is just there to massage her mother's shoulders.
"It's comfortable. Yitian has learned from Grandma Cheng since she was a child. This technique and strength are particularly comfortable. Thank you, my dear daughter." Ruan Tang lay on the recliner, closed her eyes and enjoyed the warm service of her children.
"Hehe, mother, you don't have to thank us. It's only natural for a child to be filial to his mother." Yitian felt very happy to receive the praise from her mother, and she massaged her mother more attentively.
"What about me? What about me, mother? I think I'm good at pounding too." Mo Xiaosi gently pounded his mother's other shoulder.
"Well, our Mo Xiaosi has the blessing of wood-related supernatural powers, so she is indeed more comfortable." Ruan Tang made the most pertinent evaluation. The children are all very filial. Mo Xiaosi probably saw that she was busy collecting cassava and asking the fathers to prepare food today, so he released some supernatural powers when he massaged her shoulders. She really felt warm, and the little fatigue she had disappeared.
"Yeah, mother is so amazing. I only used a little bit of my supernatural power, but you can feel it." The person Mo Xiaosi admires the most is his mother, followed by his father. They are both very amazing and the best people to him!
"Oh, are you enjoying it?" Lin Yeqing, who had disappeared for several hours, finally came back.
"Where have you been? You disappeared after harvesting the cassava." Ruan Tang opened her eyes, sat up, and looked around Lin Yeqing teasingly, but there was no trace of ambiguity. Could she have guessed wrong?
"What are you thinking about? Your head is full of dirty garbage." Lin Yeqing patted her head.
"Some people disappeared without a word for a few hours. No, well, where were you?" Ruan Tang looked around again without giving up. There was indeed no trace or smell of anything on Ye Zi, which made her even more curious.
"The fact that so many cassava can grow in this forest shows that the soil here is also suitable for yacon. I like to eat that stuff, so I took Ruiyi and the others to look for it." Lin Yeqing clapped his hands in a good mood.
"Yacon? Seeing you smiling like that, you must have found it?" Is this really the serious Captain Lin Yeqing from his previous life?
"I found it, and it's just a few hills ahead. I dug some and brought them back. I'll peel them for you and give them to you to try. They're so sweet and crispy!" Lin Yeqing didn't care about her personality in her previous life. She just wanted to be a free-spirited and happy person in this life.
"Peel less, so we can have sweet soup and cassava cake later." Ruan Tang shouted to Lin Yeqing's back.
"I understand." Lin Yeqing waved to Ruan Tang without even turning her head. As soon as she came back, she smelled the sweet aroma and knew that there would be a lot of delicious food tonight.
