Beast World: The Ferocious God Xiang Liu is So Gentle

About half a month later, Bai Ze's body, which had been trained by Tian Wu, became much stronger, and he also grew a little taller.

That afternoon, when they returned, they brought back another live chicken.

Xiang Liu quickly set about making chicken coops again. Now there are four chickens outside the cave, and they lay eggs every day.

Niannian has already saved up quite a few eggs, and Lu Yao has decided to pickle some salted eggs for everyone today.

Lu Yao: "Tianwu, go and get all the eggs. We'll pickle some eggs today, and they'll be ready to eat in about ten days."

Tianwu: "Okay, I'll go get it right now!"

Niannian: "Great! Finally, it's time to pickle the eggs!"

Sang Yu got off the heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove): "What can I do?"

Lu Yao: "Get some salt water and wash the eggs clean first."

While Sang Yu was washing the eggs, Lu Yao took out a wooden bucket with a lid from her spatial storage.

Lu Yao: "Tianwu, go boil some hot water and scald this wooden tub thoroughly to disinfect it."

After cleaning the eggs and the wooden bucket, Lu Yao took out a lot of salt and started boiling brine.

Sang Yu: "Won't it be too salty with so much salt?"

Lu Yao: "It needs to be salty to absorb the flavor. After the salted eggs are pickled, they are meant to be eaten with other foods. It's a pity there are too few seasonings and no white wine."

Tianwu: "What is baijiu?"

Lu Yao: "It's a beverage made from grains, but we don't have any grains right now, so we can't make it. After the cold season, when we migrate and encounter fruit, I can brew some fruit wine for you to try."

After the brine was boiled, Lu Yao said to Tian Wu, "Take the brine off the fire, let it cool, and then pour it into a wooden bucket, enough to submerge the eggs."

Tianwu: "Yaoyao, go back to the heated kang and rest. I'll take care of things here."

Lu Yao returned to the heated kang bed, while Sang Yu began preparing dinner.

Niannian stayed by Sangyu's side, preparing to feed its hens.

Niannian goes out to feed the chickens three times a day, and she also asked Xiangliu to make her a lot of small wooden bowls, some for holding meat and some for holding water.

Niannian also collects the fruit peels and pits that people usually eat and feeds them to the hens. As a result, the hens are growing exceptionally well now and are much fatter than when they were first caught.

Bai Ze: "Master, is there anything I can do for you?"

Lu Yao took out some loquats from her spatial storage: "Wash these loquats. You need to peel them before eating, so just wash off the surface dirt."

Bai Ze took a large bowl, put the loquats into it, and then took it to the bucket to rinse them.

After Tianwu finished pickling the eggs, he put the lid on and asked Lu Yao, "Where should I put the pickled eggs?"

Lu Yao: "Let's put it in the inner cave, where the temperature is lower and it won't break easily."

After Niannian finished feeding the hens, her little face was red from the cold.

Lu Yao: "Niannian, hurry up and warm yourself up on the heated kang for a while."

Niannian: "I have cold air on me, which will freeze the little sister in my master's belly. Wait until I'm warmed by the fire before going up."

Tianwu: "Our Niannian is such a good girl."

Sang Yu had finished preparing dinner, and Bai Ze helped to bring out the roasted meat and bone broth.

Tianwu: "These two children are so sensible, we've really struck gold."

After dinner, Lu Yao ate a few more loquats, then walked around the cave for a while before returning to the stone chamber to rest.

While supporting Lu Yao, Xiang Liu said, "Seeing you walking around with such a big belly makes me very nervous."

Lu Yao: "Walking around more will make childbirth easier!"

Xiang Liu: "But your legs are all swollen, it breaks my heart to see them like this."

Lu Yao: "Then you can give me a massage!"

Xiang Liu massaged Lu Yao's legs, and Lu Yao quickly fell asleep comfortably.

Tianwu lined the new chicken coop in the outer cave with animal hides and put the hen inside.

Niannian fed the hen some fruit peels and scraps of meat, and Sangyu put the newly made cover over the chicken coop.

After Xiang Liu came out, he saw that the hen had been cleaned up, so he picked up the chicken coop and put it in place at the entrance of the hole.

Back in the cave, Xiangliu was covered in snow.

Tianwu: "It's snowing again outside. It's going to be even colder tonight."

Xiang Liu: "Luckily, Yao Yao taught us how to build a heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed). I'll go add some firewood now so that Yao Yao won't get cold tonight."

Bai Ze: "Lord Tianwu, let's chop up more firewood when we go out for training tomorrow!"

Tianwu: "Okay!"
