Now was not the time to deal with these things, so she simply rummaged through a corner, pretending to be looking for something.

Then, using the space portal, he smuggled out a large bag of salt.

This type of coarse salt looks like transparent stone. In the 1970s and 80s, rural people liked to use this coarse salt to pickle vegetables.

Of course, some poor families who cannot afford fine salt will choose to use coarse salt.

While coarse salt is not as healthy as fine salt, it still has a strong salty taste.

When Lin Xue first saw this large amount of salt, she originally intended to buy it to pickle vegetables at home. However, she forgot about it after putting it in her spatial storage, so it's perfect to take it out now.

"Ci, take this salt and find a stone mill to grind it up. That should be enough to sustain our tribe for a while!"

Lin Xue handed the large bag of salt to Ci. Ci glanced at it and found that the salt Lin Xue had taken out was cleaner than the salt they had traded for.

It's important to know that the salt they traded for had pale yellow crystals, and they had to grind it themselves after receiving it.

Ci picked up a small granule from the bag and put it in her mouth. She found that it really was salt and immediately became happy.

"Snow, did Bu give you this salt? If you ask me, Bu is actually a pretty good orc. After all, Ku has been gone for many years, and you are still very young. No one will say anything if you find another orc as a partner!"

Lin Xue's storyline hadn't progressed to this stage, so she didn't know who this person was. However, judging from the meaning behind Ci's words, he should be one of the original owner's suitors.

How to describe the original owner? Although he was a troublemaker, his love for Ku was genuine. After Ku left, he never thought of finding another beastman to be his partner.

In fact, in the Orcish continent, a female can have several male partners.

Because compared to the bravery and fighting prowess of males, females are naturally much weaker. Although they can also transform into beasts like males, the strength and stamina of a transformed female are no match for a male.

Therefore, most of those who go hunting are male orcs, while female orcs are responsible for tasks such as picking wild fruits and digging wild vegetables, and preparing meals for the male orcs.

Therefore, the mortality rate of male orcs is particularly high, while the birth rate of female orcs is relatively low, which led to the formation of the polyandrous system.

"Ci, you'd better hurry up and prepare the food!"

Lin Xue didn't want to talk about people or things she didn't understand, so she could only pretend to be arrogant and wave her hand at Ci, then walk to the side, find a comfortable place, transform into the form of a shadow beast, and lie down in the grass nest to wait for her meal.

Just as the aroma of the food in the pot grew stronger, Lin Xue suddenly noticed that it seemed all the beastmen were holding huge stone bowls and guarding the stone pot.

Lin Xue thought back and realized that the original owner also had a stone bowl like that, but it was currently in her cave, and she didn't know where the original owner had put it.

She stretched out her chubby little paws and looked at them. Although in her Shadow Beast form, her chubby little paws were indeed quite attractive and cute.

However, Lin Xue couldn't bear to think about what she looked like as a beastman.

I must lose weight!

Lin Xue stretched and stood up, then ran towards the edge of the woods not far from the tribe.

Because it wasn't far from the square, even though the beastmen saw her, they didn't take it seriously and assumed Lin Xue was going to relieve herself.

But when Lin Xue returned, she had transformed into a beastman and was holding a beautiful wooden bowl in her hands.

This wooden bowl was roughly the size of the large bowls found in noodle shops in later generations. Although it was quite large compared to later times, it was rather small for the orcs' appetites.

"Xue, why did you only eat this much today?"

Upon seeing Lin Xue approach, the clansmen standing at the front immediately made way for her.

The boy serving the food saw Lin Xue's bowl and frowned in confusion.

You should know that the original owner's appetite was equivalent to that of an adult male beastman.

Even if she was given one less piece of meat, the original owner would make a huge scene.

Today she only brought such a small bowl, and after the meal service time was over, there was no way to give her more.

Ci looked somewhat embarrassed, staring blankly at Lin Xue's large bowl.

"Ya said he would catch some long-eared beasts for me to eat. If I eat too much now, I won't be able to eat anything tonight!"

Lin Xue handed her large bowl forward, and Ci understood after hearing her explanation.

Lin Xue was given a large bowl full of meat and yam.

Because the bowl was too full, Lin Xue was afraid that the soup inside would spill out, so she carefully carried the large bowl towards her cave.

Back in the cave, Lin Xue placed the large bowl on a stone stool.

The animal hide that the original owner had used as a cushion was dragged to the side of the stone block.

He took out the chopsticks he had prepared beforehand and tasted a bite of the beast meat of this world.

"Um!"

"This smells amazing! This meat is even better than beef from later generations!"

He stuffed a mouthful of meat into his mouth, but the expected hardness and inability to bite into it did not materialize.

It's also possible that Lin Xue took over the original owner's body, which is why her teeth became better.

In short, Lin Xue stuffed four or five pieces of meat into her mouth before letting out a satisfied sigh.

"slim Shady!"

Just as Lin Xue was about to turn her attention to the yam, a familiar voice came from the doorway.

"Ya, come here quickly, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"
