I've been transported to the orc continent.

Soybean flour is very easy to make. Apart from paying attention to the heat when frying, the other steps don't require much skill.

After Bai Ling taught the tribesmen how to roast soybeans, he didn't need to worry about anything else. One of the tribesmen even waved to Bai Ling, saying, "Ling, go play. We'll clean up here, and we'll clean the millstone for you so it won't get dirty."

Bai Ling found it somewhat amusing and said to the clansman, "Grandpa Man, I'm not a child anymore."

Man is an elder of the clan. In the past, when Feng and Cang went out hunting and gathering, they would entrust Bai Ling to the care of the elders of the clan. Man has watched Bai Ling grow up.

Even now, although Bai Ling has long since regained her senses and brought about significant changes to the tribe, Man still treats Bai Ling like a child.

Man said, "Well, Ling, you're not a child anymore. Go out and play with the young people in the clan. You don't need to stay here."

Bai Ling was both amused and exasperated. He and his family collected the dried cassava flour, sealed it in jars, and took it back to their cave where they kept their belongings.

Chen, holding the tapioca flour, asked, "Brother, how do we eat this? Do we steam it like soybean flour, or make it into noodles like wheat flour?"

Bai Ling said, "There are many ways to eat tapioca flour. You can steam tapioca cakes, make steamed dumplings, or make taro balls."

Just hearing his older brother name these foods made Chen's mouth water. He asked eagerly, "Brother, when are you going to make these?"

Bai Ling: "Chen, do you want to eat this?"

Chen Dali nodded, and Feng said from the side, "Chen, let's wait two more days. Didn't we just eat donkey rolls yesterday?"

Cang didn't say anything, but silently put the jar containing the tapioca flour away.

Bai Ling thought for a moment and said, "Once I make the maltose, I'll make some cassava cakes."

Bai Ling really wanted to make steamed dumplings, but he only had smoked meat at home and no fresh meat. He had never eaten dumplings made with smoked meat before and didn't know if they were any good.

A trend of drinking soybean powder has swept through the tribe, and the way they drink it is quite unique.

When eating, first put the soybean powder in an earthenware bowl, then scoop a bowl of bone broth from the pot, stir it a few times, and the soybean powder will quickly dissolve, thus making a bowl of bone broth soybean powder paste.

Bai Ling didn't like the porridge, but many of the tribespeople thought it was good. Later, the tribespeople in charge of cooking came up with a unique idea: to cook it with bone broth and soybean powder. Bai Ling drank a bowl of it and found the taste to be quite acceptable.

After drinking a bowl of this porridge, Bai Ling fell into thought. Had he suffered too much in the beastman world? Why did he find these things, which he made on a whim or by simply thinking about them, to be so good?

But this kind of mushy stuff actually tastes pretty good.

The subtle fragrance of soybean flour blends perfectly with the rich aroma of bone broth, creating a truly savory and delicious flavor.

Especially after drinking a bowl in the morning, I feel much more energetic.

Not only the orcs of the High Tree Tribe, but other orcs living in the High Tree Tribe also quickly accepted this way of eating. In particular, the older orcs really liked this porridge. They didn't even eat cassava cakes in the morning, and just drank two bowls of soybean powder cooked in bone broth for breakfast.

Not only do the elderly love to drink it, but babies also really like it. Even Wu, who just had a baby, came to grind soybeans into powder.

His partner had no breast milk, and the newborn cubs were fed by other orcs with cubs. But this couldn't go on. Luckily, the tribe had soybean powder, so he decided to grind some soybean powder and mix it with bone broth to feed the cubs.

When Bai Ling heard the news, she and Yue were sitting on the side weaving a basket. Neither of them were used to this kind of work. They had been learning from the people in the tribe for two days. Bai Ling managed to weave a basket that was not up to standard, but Yue had not even finished weaving a single basket.

The wind told them this news, because the wind wanted to send some sugar to noon, since soybean flour with sugar makes things taste better.

The candy was made by the son. If Feng wants to give the candy to someone else, he has to discuss it with his son first.

Upon hearing this, Bai Ling put down what she was doing and said, "Father, I'll go with you. The cub is too young; it might not be good for him to drink soybean powder."

Feng was a little worried: "Drinking soybean powder is not good, so what should we drink?"

Orc cubs are nursed for four to six months, especially in the first two months when their teeth haven't fully grown in and they can only drink milk. After two months, the cubs can eat cooked minced meat.

If the cubs are born without milk, the best solution is to find a female beastman who also has cubs and ask her to nurse them temporarily. However, this is not a solution, as those beastmen also have their own cubs and cannot stay in the cave where Wu lives all the time. So Wu thought of grinding some soybean powder for the cubs to drink.

Bai Ling stood up and said, "Father, I'll go with you. Flour is more suitable for the cubs than soybean flour."

For Bai Ling, wheat is very important. Every grain of wheat in his hand is a seed, which is related to his planting business next year. But the cubs are equally important. Bai Ling is completely willing to give some wheat to Wu.

Feng nodded and said, "Alright, if the cubs are willing to eat flour, then give Wu more wheat."

Bai Ling asked again, "Yue, are you coming with me?"

Yue shook her head: "No, I'll finish weaving this basket first."

He wanted to fight the basket again and see if he could finish weaving it today. Ling had already finished, and he couldn't fall too far behind.

Bai Ling smiled and said, "Yue, after we finish grinding the wheat, we can go and see the cubs together."

Yue immediately put down the basket in her hand: "Then I'll go with you."

With the stone mill, Bai Ling no longer needed to use stones to pound the wheat, and she could quickly grind the flour.

The ground flour was sifted several times to remove all the bran, leaving only the slightly yellow, fine flour. The ground flour was then stir-fried in a pan until it turned from slightly yellow to pale yellow and emitted a fragrant aroma.

Feng took all the remaining candy from his house and walked with Wu toward the cave where Wu lived.

Throughout the journey, Wu kept thanking Bai Ling and Feng. He looked much more haggard than when he came two days ago, with large dark circles under his eyes. The cubs had been very restless these past two days, and he had been staying up late and hadn't had a proper rest at all.

When Bai Ling arrived at the entrance of the cave where the Wu family lived, he heard a faint cry.

When cubs cry, their cries are not as sharp as those of human babies, but rather more rugged and penetrating. However, the cubs of the Wu family cry like kittens, with hardly any strength at all.

The cave wasn't big, and the Wu family was currently living there. Bai Ling didn't expect that Wu was also there. The cub was being held in the father's arms, and Wu was rubbing the cub's belly with both hands.
