Transmigrated to a poverty-stricken primitive tribe, she immediately faced a situation where her family of five was on the verge of starving to death. Her biological father had his hand bitten off ...
The idea that nutrition can enhance beast-like abilities is not a joke; it's based on evidence.
No matter what the problem is, it needs to be addressed at its root. If the root is not right, then there is no way to break through one's limitations. So, Haitang decided to go into the mountains to find some medicinal herbs.
Using medicinal cuisine to regulate the health of the whole family, Haitang is a food blogger, and medicinal cuisine has always been her forte.
When Haitang went into the grove, Yueyue followed her and asked, "Sister, can you eat these leaves?"
Yueyue didn't know that those things were edible, so she found some leaves for Haitang. As Haitang looked at the leaves, she began to examine them closely.
"No, these are not edible." Haitang shook her head and said that these things were not edible. Hearing this, Yueyue nodded, a little disappointed.
"Don't worry too much. It's only early spring, and winter is still long. We have plenty of time to improve our lives." Haitang raises quite a few chickens and rabbits at home. Feeding the rabbits only requires giving them hay.
Once the rabbits have grown up, Haitang will slaughter them and process them into cured meat, which can be stored.
There were no icehouses in this era. If there were icehouses, many food storage problems could be solved.
Yueyue nodded immediately and began searching nearby. "Sister has bird eggs." Seeing the bird's nest not far away, Yueyue immediately climbed up a large tree.
When Haitang saw this, she couldn't help but worry. "Be careful, it's dangerous for you." Haitang was a little worried, but Yueyue immediately climbed up the tree and took the bird eggs from the nest.
Bird eggs are about the size of small chicken eggs. Many things in this world are very big. Under such circumstances, Haitang wants a large iron pot.
Because every time we cook at home, it takes about two hours to finish, and there are so many people eating, so the energy consumption is huge.
When Haitang was looking at the bird eggs, she carefully placed them on the basket at her waist to avoid breaking them.
Haitang doesn't follow the females in the village to find food; instead, she goes out on her own. When she tries to find food with other people, she often struggles to find enough to eat.
It wasn't just that Haitang was greedy, hiding and hoarding all the food; rather, in this world, food is absolute.
Sometimes, even a biological mother can be ruthless enough to snatch away her child's food, which shows how important food is.
After placing the bird eggs, Haitang went to find food with Yueyue. Under these circumstances, "What's wrong with my sister?"
When Yueyue saw Haitang digging with stones, she ran over too.
“They’re leaves from Chinese yam,” Haitang said. Hearing this, Yueyue nodded and started digging.
"Is this what you mean, sister?" Yueyue was faster than Haitang, who reached out and grabbed Yueyue's hand.
"Don't dig like that, use stones." Haitang looked at Yueyue's fingers with heartache; throwing them directly with her hands would hurt her.
Yueyue nodded upon hearing this, and carefully used a stone to take the yam out. "Can this be eaten?"
“It’s edible and very nutritious. Yueyue and Xingxing will need to eat well when they transform into beasts,” Haitang said. “Also, when it comes to food, meat isn’t necessarily the most nutritious. In many cases, the nutritional value of plants is no less than that of meat.”
Haitang said directly, "So if Yueyue wants to transform into a beast, she not only needs to eat meat, but also needs to drink plenty of vegetables and soup to ensure a balanced diet."
"Sister, you're moving around so much." Upon hearing this, Yueyue immediately replied, "I'll eat more, don't worry, sister, I'll definitely succeed in transforming into a beast."
Without any beastmen in his family, Yueyue almost never dared to go to the upper village to play, because if he went there, he would be bullied by those little beastmen. Since the other party's family had beastmen, even if he won, he would still get beaten up in the end.
When Haitang was digging for yams, she simply put them into baskets, and the two baskets were quickly filled. Yams are something that can be stored away; there won't be any problems digging them up and taking them back.
A few days ago, Haitang had Dongfang Long make mud bricks and used them to build a small room to be used as a kitchen.
Another reason is to store food. They also dug a cellar at night, which is the best primitive way to store food.
After the yam was dug up, Haitang took Yueyue back. When they got to the river, Haitang immediately started catching fish. There were many fish in this era, and almost no one was catching them.
Many orcs don't know how to handle fish, so they won't choose to eat them. Although Haitang has helped a bit, many people are still unwilling to go through the trouble of cleaning up the mess.
After catching a three-pound fish, Haitang went straight home with Yueyue. Huaishan was also taken to the cellar. Yueyue smiled when she saw what was in the cellar.
Having supplies means you won't have to go out for the winter, and having food means you can get through the winter safely. Crabapple is a food that you think about for the winter as soon as spring arrives.
When Haitang was by the river, she washed a lot of Chinese yam. When she came back, she put them in this sandbag, which is made of porcelain, although it is a bit ugly.
However, it was enough. The sandbag was about ten milliliters in size. Haitang killed two chickens, washed them by the river, and brought them back. She then used the Chinese yam to make soup.
When I went to check the rice in the cellar, there was very little rice. So, I could only cook rice soup with rice and vermicelli. The taste wasn't great, but it was enough to fill my stomach.
At night, we don't need to eat much; we only need to eat during the day. The wheat in the crabapple field is still drying, and flour production hasn't started yet. If we had flour...
Haitang would make steamed buns at night and have Shi Hu and Dongfang Long take them to eat. Haitang looked at the wheat not far away and thought that she would start making flour tomorrow so that she could have steamed buns to eat.
Shi Hu and Dongfang Long have returned. They didn't go hunting today, but went straight to gather wheat. That area was full of wheat, and even though a lot of it was harvested today, there was still plenty left.
Even if we go again tomorrow, we'll still have quite a bit left. Shi Hu and Dongfang Long both listened to Haitang. Since Haitang said so, they'll bring back as much as they can.
"Father is going to wash his hands and eat." Haitang brought the clay pot directly to the table. The soup in the clay pot had been simmering for about an hour, so the taste was a little off.
But to be honest, she's busy with so many things all day long, so it's impossible for her to do everything perfectly. As long as she has something to eat, that's good enough. Although soup is supposed to be perfect after two hours, the problem is that she doesn't want to eat in the dark because of the limited time, so she has to eat quickly.
