After transmigrating, she became the most beloved beast in the world.

For the next two days, Chu Xinyao was like a busy bee, shuttling between every corner of the tribe, extremely busy.

The scarcity of ingredients in the tribe presented Chu Xinyao with an unprecedented challenge. She shared all her cooking skills with the tribe members without reservation.

Whenever the tribe's females returned from gathering wild fruits and digging up plants, she would take a look, trying to find food she recognized.

During those two busy days, Chu Xinyao almost forgot the promise she had made to Mo. Her mind was completely occupied by the upcoming planting of the tree seedlings.

She knew about tube trees, which were similar to bamboo, but she wondered if the seedlings of tube trees were like bamboo shoots.

Bamboo shoots can be stewed in soup, stir-fried, or even eaten raw; each cooking method brings out the unique flavor of bamboo shoots.

Chu Xinyao specifically sought out the big tree and asked him to bring back one or two saplings of the tree while he was hunting.

When she opened the drawer of her dressing table and saw a pill the size of a red bean inside, she remembered that today was the day she had promised to make amends to Mo.

Mo's self-healing ability was terrifyingly strong, although it might also be thanks to their spiritual medicine. Most of Mo's injuries had already healed. Chu Xinyao had truly witnessed the combination of a powerful physique and potent spiritual medicine.

"Xinyao." Chu Xinyao's slender waist was encircled by a pair of strong arms.

"Mmm," she responded softly, then closed the drawer. Holding a delicate wooden hairpin in her hand, she gently inserted it into her dark hair, her movements extremely natural, captivating Mo with every glance.

Thinking of tonight, Mo couldn't help but tighten his grip and pull Chu Xinyao into his arms. "Yao, I'm really looking forward to tonight."

Chu Xinyao sensed Mo's anticipation and smiled slightly, "I'm looking forward to it too." Her voice was gentle, like a spring breeze rippling across a lake.

The saplings of the tube tree that were dug up from the big tree were tender shoots growing from the roots of the tube tree. Everyone observed the saplings in front of them: the outer shell was tightly wrapped in layers, the color of which gradually changed from dark brown to light yellow, and the surface was covered with fine hairs, and it felt a little rough to the touch. The tip was slightly curved, with a touch of tender green.

"Is this... edible?" Xiaobai looked at Chu Xinyao who had just walked in with a questioning look and asked uncertainly.

"Of course you can eat it."

This type of bamboo shoot is thick at the bottom and gradually tapers at the top.

Chu Xinyao knew that it was precisely because the bamboo shoots were tender and crisp that they were such excellent ingredients for cooking.

She smiled and nodded, picked up the bamboo shoot, peeled off the outer shell, and then blanched it in boiling water. She then took it out, drained the water, and tore it into thin strips by hand.

Next, she started preparing the seasonings, including minced ginger, minced scallions, and some spices unique to the Beast World. Soon, a plate of cold bamboo shoot salad was ready.

Everyone was amazed to see Chu Xinyao transform the ugly bamboo saplings into a mouthwatering dish in the blink of an eye. The cold bamboo shoot salad was not only visually appealing but also incredibly fragrant, making everyone want to taste it immediately.

After Chu Xinyao finished cooking, everyone immediately gathered around, eager to taste it first. Xiao Hua, unable to contain her anger, grabbed a bamboo shoot with her hand and quickly stuffed it into her mouth.

"Mmm, delicious, delicious!" Xiaohua said excitedly as she chewed. Her eyes widened with surprise, and a satisfied look appeared on her face.

Chu Xinyao took a small bite of the cold bamboo shoot salad. The crisp texture and rich layers of flavor immediately danced on her tongue. She closed her eyes, savoring the unique taste. Although the flavor was different from before, the spices from the Beast World seemed to enhance the bamboo shoot's freshness even more. The combination of the two created a unique and delightful flavor.

"Yes, they are really tender. In the cold season, if there's not much to eat, they can be made into dried bamboo shoots."

After he finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent instantly.

Chu Xinyao looked around and noticed everyone was looking at her with complicated expressions. She held a bamboo shoot in her chopsticks, unsure what to do. "Wh...what's wrong?"

The expressions on everyone's faces made her feel uneasy. Had she mentioned something she shouldn't have? Winter is indeed called the cold season! Or was there something wrong with her suggestion?

"Sister Xinyao, you just said that it can be made into dried bamboo shoots and eaten during the cold season?" Xiaohua asked uncertainly.

Chu Xinyao nodded, and everyone gasped in surprise again.

"Oh my god, it really works."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go dig!"

“I’ll go and talk to the high priest and have the clan chief organize people to go.”

"These bamboo shoots aren't very filling, but they're a treat during the cold season when there's not much else to eat..."

"Hey, what's wrong?" Chu Xinyao's voice was full of confusion.

She noticed that several of the females around her had suddenly left, but fortunately, Xiaobai and Sisi remained by her side.

"What's wrong with them?" Chu Xinyao asked.

Xiao Bai and Si Si began explaining the situation of the Ink Serpent Tribe to Chu Xin Yao. It turned out that the mountainous region where the Ink Serpent Tribe lived was extremely cold even during the cold season. Heavy snow blocked the mountains, making food extremely scarce. Therefore, the beastmen had to prepare enough food every year during the hot season and the rainy season to get through these difficult times.

Fortunately, the Moss were strong enough to have already organized their personnel and stored enough meat to get through the cold season.

However, for the females in the tribe, the long hours of roasting meat were truly tedious. They had a strong desire for dietary diversity. That's why they were so excited when Chu Xinyao mentioned that it could be made into dried bamboo shoots for consumption during the cold season.

"Oh, really, there's no need to be in such a hurry!" Chu Xinyao shook her head and sighed.

The rainy season must be autumn, and there are so many foods to gather in autumn to prepare for winter. Bamboo shoots and mushrooms after the rain... um, mushrooms?

If the female doesn't like grilled meat, she could try mushroom soup instead!

Chu Xinyao frowned as she thought about it. Unfortunately, she didn't know many kinds of mushrooms, and who knew how the mushrooms in this beast world were different from those in modern times?

Lost in thought, Chu Xinyao didn't notice Mo's arrival. She was still looking at the carrot-like ginger and the flower-like "chili peppers," secretly troubled.

"Xinyao, Xiaohua found me and said you found a food that can be eaten in the cold season?" Mo's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Chu Xinyao's thoughts.

Chu Xinyao looked up and saw Mo Zheng standing in front of her. She nodded and said, "Yes, it's a food from my tribe. It's the seedling of this bamboo tree, which we call bamboo shoots. There are many ways to eat it, such as stir-frying it with meat to make bamboo shoot stir-fry. Or you can stir-fry bamboo shoots or make cold bamboo shoot salad. Most importantly, it can be made into dried bamboo shoots. With proper preservation methods, dried bamboo shoots can be stored for six months to a year."

"Oh my god, it really works."

"Then we won't lack anything during the cold season."

The females returned one after another, and they were all quite excited to hear that the specimens could be preserved for so long.

Mo and A-Da behind him tasted the cold bamboo shoots on the table. The unique flavor made them raise their eyebrows slightly, clearly satisfied with the novel taste.

However, Ah Da quickly showed a hint of frustration on his face, "Mistress, this doesn't keep us full, isn't this going to be too much of a hassle?"

Mo, however, was different. His eyes gleamed with the shrewdness of a merchant. “What do you know! Although it won’t fill you up, look at this. Can you tell it’s a sapling? It can still be preserved. We can definitely take it out to trade.”

Chu Xinyao smiled, praising Mo's business acumen, and said, "Who says it's not filling? This can be stewed with beast meat, made into soup, or simply stir-fried. How about this, tomorrow you have someone dig up a few, and I'll make you a few dishes. You'll see for yourselves after you try them..."

"Tomorrow won't work," Mo suddenly interrupted her.

Chu Xinyao was slightly taken aback, thinking there was some kind of plan for tomorrow, so she said, "The day after tomorrow is also fine."

Mo's expression suddenly changed. A hint of childish dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth drooped slightly, as if silently expressing his disappointment. His brows furrowed slightly, forming a small "川" character. His usually confident face was now filled with grievance.

His voice also became deep, with a hint of coquetry: "Xinyao, didn't you say you would make it up to me?"
