The nausea I expected did not appear. The paste had a seafood flavor, accompanied by a salty taste, and granules moving around in my mouth and tongue, much like the crab roe sauce I had eaten in my previous life.

"Well, well?"

Xue Rou's gentle face rarely showed a childish look of anticipation. Su Yuan swallowed the octopus sauce and nodded affirmatively, "It tastes okay. It would be even better if it was spread on barbecue."

It would be even better if I could pour it on the noodles, but unfortunately there is not even rice or wheat in the tribe. The most I can do is exchange some from the system mall to try it out.

"Thank you, Wu. I'll try it later."

"Xue Rou likes studying food so much?" Su Yuan looked at her delighted expression and asked with some interest.

"Well, hunger doesn't feel good. I've endured hunger many times. After the Black Sheep Witch was controlled by him, I led my people to collect some green moss to eat."

"It's just that the taste is extremely bitter. Every time I think about how to make it more delicious so that the children can swallow it and not starve to death."

"Sorry, Xueruo, it's all my fault." Heiyang looked a little self-blaming. This family mistake had always been a thorn in her heart.

Xue Rou shook her head, her tone somewhat sentimental: "No, I was lucky enough to have figured it out at the time. We had been relying on the green moss in the mountain crevices to survive until we were caught by Xin Kewu."

"So I think that as long as we can research more food preparation methods, we can give our people more hope of survival."

So that's how it is. Back then, they were so determined to lead their tribesmen to join me. I'm afraid they must have been at the end of their rope.

"Then when we build a city in the future, you can open a gourmet food store."

"A gourmet restaurant?"

"I'm making all kinds of delicious food for everyone to taste. You'll understand later."

In the future, as the economy grows larger and larger, the tribal system will eventually be eliminated. Some people will farm, while others will hunt; some will defend their homes, while others will open shops.

Although it is cruel, the transition from primitive society to the era of enjoyment and the era of monetary economy and transaction is the inevitable result of social development. Even if he has a system mall, he is powerless to change it.

After all, the fact that these tribes have already started trading goods with each other shows some clues. Even if he hadn't appeared, it wouldn't be long before the first currency of this alien world would be developed.

It could be some kind of beautiful shell, or it could be some rare crystal...

"Okay then, I'll make a few more for everyone to taste."

Xue Rou was no longer curious. She took the ceramic bowl with the leftovers from Su Yuan and Hei Yang and ran back home. The passion for making delicious food was even stronger than the training of soldiers.

"By the way, Su Yuan."

After Xue Rou left, Hei Yang also remembered what he wanted to say before.

"Now that I've arrived at the Snowy Desert, I'd like to have a chance to go back to the cave where I used to live and see if the things I hid there are still there."

When she saw Hai Ling presenting those treasures to Su Yuan one day, she remembered that she had collected some of them before. Some were used to make wizard staffs, and some were used to help the tribe members awaken.

It's just that after being controlled, I don't know where the things I collected are still hidden.

"The cave from before? After we've dealt with those tribes that are planning to come, let Tiger Hunter go back and look for it."

“Sniff…”

Suddenly, a subtle voice was heard, and the two looked at each other. Su Yuan looked at Heiyang looking at his chest, so he lowered his head.

In his arms, the red-haired girl opened her eyes. Her azure eyes formed a strong contrast with her red clothes. She greeted him after noticing the gaze on her.

"Hello!"
