I thrived in the primitive tribe

Chapter 5 Refining the Oil of the Humming Beast

After throwing away the trash, Lu Yao happily ran to the center of the tribe to find out what kind of animal the Humming Beast was.

When Lu Yao squeezed through the crowd, the prey's head had already been cut off and placed aside. Someone was butchering the prey and preparing to cook it. Lu Yao stared at the huge head in front of her and the more she looked at it, the more it seemed like a pig magnified many times over.

The people around were praising how amazing the hunters were, expressing their admiration and saying that they wanted to become powerful orcs like them in the future.

Listening to people's expectations for a better future and seeing the vibrant atmosphere, Lu Yao gradually felt a sense of reality, as if she were in a primitive era.

Just as Lu Yao was about to leave the crowd and return to the Great Shaman's residence, he saw someone cutting a large piece of white flesh off the Humming Beast.

"Could this be fatty meat? If such a large piece of fatty meat were used to render oil, it would yield a lot of lard," Lu Yao thought.

"Wait." Then she waved and called to the orc who was about to throw the meat into the stone pot.

"Can I have this piece of meat?"

As Lu Yao spoke, everyone turned their attention to her.

Lu Yao was still a little uncomfortable being stared at by so many people, even though there was no malice in their gazes.

"You want this piece of meat? I'll give it to you when it's cooked, don't worry."

"No, I want raw meat, not cooked. I want to process it and see if I can render oil from it."

At this moment, the chief and the high shaman arrived together and overheard Lu Yao's words. They exchanged a glance. The chief then spoke.

"Cero, give that piece of meat to Lu Yao. Lu Yao, do whatever you want."

Hearing the leader's words, a storm of emotions surged within everyone.

"Just who is this Lu Yao? First, the Great Shaman took good care of her, and now even the Chief is looking after her." Everyone was thinking the same thing.

"It's just a piece of white meat, but perhaps Lu Yao can bring us a different food experience..." the Great Shaman said.

The orc named Rose handed the white meat in his hand to Lu Yao, who was waiting to the side.

"Chief, may I use that stone pot over there?"

The chief glanced at Lu Yao, then turned to the stone pot, wondering what the little brat was up to. Remembering what the great shaman had told him before, he said, "Alright."

The tribe has a total of 3 stone pots. Today, only two of them were used to cook meat, and the remaining one is currently idle. One has to admire Lu Yao's luck.

Everyone stared at Lu Yao, wondering what she was up to. Some were simply curious, while others were filled with malice, hoping she would make a fool of herself and waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

Lu Yao stood in front of the stone pot, looking at the large piece of white meat in her hand, unsure of where to begin.

“It seems there are no knives in the tribe right now, and she can’t even lift the stone axes that orcs use to butcher their prey. What should we do?” Lu Yao regretted her impulsive decision earlier.

Seeing Lu Yao's helplessness, the Great Shaman knew she might need help, so he gave Luo Ya a look, signaling him to go and help Lu Yao.

After receiving the Great Shaman's message, Luo Ya walked up to Lu Yao and asked.

"What do you want? Do you need my help?"

Lu Yao looked at Luo Ya as if she had seen a savior.

"Could you help me cut this piece of white meat into smaller pieces? This is too big and difficult to handle."

"Okay, is there anything else I can help you with?"

"I don't have any flint here. Could you help me start a fire? Leave the rest to me. I'll cook something delicious for you."

Lu Yao said happily.

Seeing Lu Yao's joyful smile, Luo Ya felt a jolt, a strange feeling stirring within him, but he ignored it. He replied, "Okay," and then picked up the stone knife to begin cutting the meat.

Luo Yao put water into the stone pot. In her memory, her mother used to render lard with water at home, but it seemed that she also added ginger or something to remove the fishy smell. Since they didn't have those here, she decided not to use them for now.

"We don't even have bicycles yet, so why would we need motorcycles? Let's make the lard first," Lu Yao thought to herself.

She asked Loya to put the sliced ​​white meat into the pot, and then asked him to light the firewood she had brought over earlier.

As Lu Yao added firewood, she used a long stick that she had found while carrying the firewood, which had already been washed and processed, to stir the meat chunks.

Luo Ya watched Lu Yao bustling around and said.

"I'll watch the firewood; you focus on stirring."

"Okay, thank you, Loya."

After a while, the meat in the stone pot was cooked.

"Isn't this just cooking meat? There's no other process, just cutting the meat into smaller pieces."

"Exactly, exactly, she's the only one who knows how to show off."

"She's such a troublemaker."

……

……

……

Listening to the whispers of those around me.

Lu Yao noticed that the water in the pot was gradually decreasing, and the oil was rising to the surface, forming a thin layer on the water.

"Success! These ignorant orcs, all they do is chatter on and on. They'll be amazed when they get the oil!" Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

After some time, the water in the stone pot had completely evaporated, leaving only clear oil.

The aroma emanating from the stone pot stirred a stir among the crowd, all eager to know what smelled so wonderful.

Loya, who was helping out on the sidelines, had the most direct experience of the oil refining process and was deeply shocked.

Seeing that the oil in the pot had almost been rendered, Lu Yao told Luo Ya to stop the fire. After stirring the lard residue in the pot for a while to prevent it from burning, Lu Yao looked up.

"Wow, there are so many people!" Lu Yao exclaimed inwardly.

It turned out that after the water in the stone pot boiled away, the rich aroma of oil wafted out, attracting everyone in the tribe to the square. They all gathered around Lu Yao's stone pot to watch.

"Why is everyone standing here?" Lu Yao asked knowingly.

"Is this the oil you're going to refine?" the great shaman asked.

"Yes, this oil can be used to fry meat, pan-fry meat, stir-fry wild vegetables, etc. Any food cooked with it will be very delicious."

"This isn't meant to be eaten directly?"

"No, but the fat residue inside can be scooped out, added with some salt, and it tastes quite different."

Everyone surrounded Lu Yao and started chattering, asking her how to eat the oil.

Suddenly, a discordant voice came from behind.

"How do you know all this? I've never seen any tribe use this method of food preparation?"
