When clan leader Si saw Du standing obediently behind Lianyi, his eyes flashed, and then he went straight to the point and asked about the storage method of meat. The witch next to him looked at Lianyi openly, and his eyes swept across the other's eyebrows several times.

Lian Yi smiled and said:

"I'm already here, so I won't break my promise. I wonder if the clan leader will allow me to stay in the noble land for a while?"

"Tai has already told us your request. We are willing to do it in exchange. However, Du is an orc expelled from the tribe after all. He cannot walk around the Black Snake Tribe's territory at will."

"Yes! That's no problem. Just find someone to take care of Du. I have no objection!"

Lianyi nodded, then turned to Du beside her and said:

"Du, during the time I'm in the Black Snake Tribe's territory, you should follow the tribe leader's arrangements!"

He said somewhat unhappily:

"I am your follower, I will follow you."

"Can you protect me or find new food for me?"

Ripple asked mercilessly.

“.”

After being mercilessly dissed by Lianyi, Du shut up.

Si and Wu looked at each other, and Wu asked:

"Ripple, can I ask you a few questions?"

"certainly."

“How did your mark of the beast reappear?”

As a witch, this is the issue he cares about most.

“When I chose to become a female, my beast mark disappeared after the witch ceremony. However, during a collective harvesting by the tribe, I was left alone and attacked by a wild beast.

At the critical moment, my beast mark reappeared and helped me to destroy the beast, which also made me stronger. I also received the instruction from the beast god and discovered new food for the beast world continent. "

After Lianyi finished speaking, she clenched her right fist and placed it against her left chest, performing the highest etiquette to the Beast God. Several people present followed suit and performed the same etiquette.

"You were also the one who discovered the thing that makes barbecue even more delicious."

Wu continued to ask.

"Yes, this is what Du and I found on our way to the Black Snake Territory."

Lianyi admitted generously.

"It's the warm season now and many plants are just beginning to grow, so your findings should be limited."

The white-haired witch said directly.

As the witch of the tribe, he has a very accurate grasp of the weather. After all, the witch is the messenger responsible for communicating with the Beast God in the Beast World. They are similar to priests and also serve as doctors of the tribe.

Because they are entrusted by the Beast God with the mission of protecting the tribe, their lifespan is only one-third of that of the orcs, and they basically do not live past a hundred years old. Because of this, witches are highly respected in the entire tribe, and their prestige is even higher than that of the patriarch.

However, they abide by their duties and are only responsible for the tribe's priest activities, healing injured orcs, and exchanging information with witches from other orc tribes. They only ask the witch for certain opinions when the tribe encounters a major event and the patriarch is unable to make a decision.

This time, Lianyi brought up something about food, and she was a female. The beast mark between her eyebrows actually reappeared after she chose to become a female. All of this was beyond the tribe leader's understanding, so Si Cai specially invited the witch from the tribe to come and meet Lianyi together.

Food is extremely precious to every ethnic group, because only with sufficient food supply can the ethnic group grow and develop and enter a virtuous cycle.

If even the orcs are not well fed, they will not be able to fight against the herds of wild beasts in the forest, nor can they protect the females, let alone feed the cubs. If the survival rate of the cubs is low, the tribe will not be able to grow strong. After all, adult orcs will also grow old one day.

In addition, the last harvest season was met with a severe drought, which caused a sharp drop in the limited edible food. All beast tribes were hit hard. Some female and cubs of the small beast tribes even starved to death because they did not have enough food to survive the cold season. Therefore, whenever food is mentioned, not only the tribe leader, but even the witch takes it very seriously.

Back to the present, Lianyi also answered Wu's question seriously:

"Respected Wu, you are right. That is why I am traveling with Du. I do not plan to stay in one place. Because each tribe lives in a different environment, and the plants and animals growing around them are also different. And as you said, different climates will lead to different growth rates of plants and animals, and the new foods that can be discovered will also be different."

Wu nodded after hearing this and continued to ask:

“About how to store meat”

Lianyi didn't wait for Wu to finish speaking. She grabbed a small bag from the animal skin bag slung over her shoulder, poured out some of the spicy unicorn beef jerky she had made earlier, and asked Du to give it to the clan leaders Si and Wu.

“This is the jerky I made. You can try it.”

Then Lianyi naturally put a piece of food into his mouth to show that there was nothing wrong with the food.

All animals can make dried meat, so Si was not too surprised after hearing this. He put the dried meat into his mouth and chewed it for a while, then he tasted the difference.

There is almost no moisture in these dried meats, but they are not dry. Instead, they are very elastic and have a hint of the spicy taste of the barbecued meat I have eaten before. They are very tasty and become more fragrant the more you chew them.

After Wu ate one piece, he took another piece, squeezed it in his hand, and said:

"The moisture in this jerky is basically dried out. As long as it is not exposed to moisture, it can be stored for a longer time, and it tastes good too."

After Lian Yi got the affirmation from the two bosses, he said with a smile:

"I have another way to store meat, but I can't make it because I'm on the road and don't have the right utensils. If the tribe provides me with what I need, I can make it now."

"That's no problem. Just ask for whatever you need."

Si responded immediately. Now he and Wu were very sure that the female Ripple was not lying. Moreover, she had shown them new barbecue ingredients and dried meat that could be stored for a long time. She was very sincere, so they also had to show their sincerity.

"Okay, I also want to go check out the herbs that Wu has collected. Maybe there are ingredients I need in them."

Lianyi turned to Wu and said.

The white-haired witch did not refuse and nodded to agree.

After things were finalized, Lianyi moved into the Black Snake tribe's territory, in the center, close to the witch's cave. The patrolling orc Tai and his team members whom she met that day became Lianyi's followers, preparing all the necessary things according to her instructions.

Lianyi was a man of action. On the second day, she set up two stone pots in the Black Snake Tribe's square and began to teach the female Black Snakes on the spot how to make meat that could be preserved for a long time.

"Hello everyone, I'm Lianyi. Today, I've been asked by the noble clan leader Si to teach you how to preserve meat for a long time. You don't have to worry about not being able to remember it. The method is not difficult. It just takes some time and you need to master the heat."

After Lianyi's opening remarks, she began to demonstrate on the spot. The first method she used to preserve meat for a long time was to fry it.
