When hunting is difficult, wheat is a good choice, and of course, leg meat is also acceptable. Haitang started teaching people, and the older ones were learning very diligently. Most of the females die in their forties, starving to death...

This is a cruel thing. If a female is unable to reproduce around the age of forty, she will have less and less to eat. Of course, if a beastman feels sorry for her, he can give her more.

The problem is that once the orcs get older and they don't even have enough to eat themselves, the females will suffer, and the chances of the females starving to death are even greater.

In this era, Haitang knew one cruel thing: feelings were weak and distant, cold and indifferent, and even family ties were often cold.

Orcs have little affection for their parents but more for their children. Children give more because they have given more, while parents are the ones who give more, so their children are more indifferent to them.

While teaching a few people how to make it, Haitang also made pancakes, dumplings, and several other dishes for them. After the old man learned the recipe, he planned to go home, and Haitang didn't stop him.

But after everyone left, she saw the eggs. She had already told a few people how to marinate the leg meat. Now that she saw that no one was around, Haitang felt a little conflicted. There were more than a dozen wild eggs, the size of her brother's goose eggs. Haitang couldn't help but helplessly put them away a short distance away.

When Shi Hu returned, he heard what Haitang said. Shi Hu took a sip of soup and said, "This is the norm. If people were still bringing them food now, every beastman family would give them some. But the problem is that when winter comes, they will only starve to death."

Given the already small number of orcs, not counting the elderly, there were over two hundred orcs, with about a hundred females. Of course, there were also about a hundred people in the village, with the elderly being over thirty years old. I remember there were over five hundred people in the tribe.

It is very cruel. The place where they live is not the most resource-rich or the most abundant. Of course, there are many grasses and plants, but there are far fewer other prey. Where there is plenty of prey, the grasses and plants will be consumed very quickly.

In this situation, the orcs can only hunt for a few days now, when they can eat their fill and even have some left over. After a while, they will be strapped for cash. If they can tell others about making sausages and wheat, that would be a good thing.

When Haitang heard this, she nodded and immediately prepared food for Shi Hu and the others. The old people went to pick wheat the next day. There were more than thirty old people, except for the most senior one who did not go.

When the females saw the elderly men, they couldn't help but frown, but they didn't say anything. Some of the men were their fathers-in-law. They simply asked a few questions and then went about their business.

On Haitang's side, they also carried baskets to get food. The wolf pack had been in the village for several days before being surrounded and killed by the orcs. There were about fifty wolves in total. They were worried that the meat would go bad if they couldn't finish it.

At this time, there was wild boar meat and other meats available, and wolf meat tasted slightly worse in comparison. Many people wanted to eat other prey, but if it could be preserved, that would be a different story.

However, Haitang's family also had a wolf, which Haitang directly processed into wolf leg meat. Haitang's family also built a thatched hut, where Haitang hung the leg meat and some sausages.

When Haitang went out with her basket on her back, Yueyue followed. "Sister...we can go a little further today." Because many people came out to look for wheat, there was meat almost all around.

The beastmen were hunting in several areas, while the females were foraging for food in the rear. Haitang nodded. They had gone quite far today. Actually, Haitang wanted to get a cart so she could get more food, but she had difficulty with that.

The task hasn't been completed these past few days; it's been upgrading, and the system hasn't given me any response. However, Haitang didn't mind. As long as the other party doesn't appear, she can just focus on doing her own thing.

While searching for something, Haitang spotted a patch of golden yellow in the distance. She immediately ran over. "Soybeans..." Haitang was utterly astonished. There were about [soybeans found]! Haitang heard the notification, "System..."

The system didn't answer, and Haitang frowned slightly, but ignored it and started looking at the soybeans. "Yueyue, let's get this to eat back home," Haitang said. Yueyue nodded. The soybeans were shelled, and a lot of them fell to the ground. Haitang felt very sorry for them and started picking them up.

"Yueyue, pick these up," Haitang said. Yueyue nodded. Some of the soybeans were picked off the tree, and some were still on the tree. The basket was lined with leaves, and Haitang threw the soybeans into it. In this way, Haitang and Yueyue picked up the soybeans.

The soybeans were about the size of a little finger, twice the size of ordinary soybeans. In this case, it was much easier to pick them. After a day, Haitang and Yueyue ate something and went to the sword.

There were two baskets of soybeans. When Haitang saw the baskets, she squatted down to carry them on her back, but found that they were too heavy, weighing about fifty pounds. At first, it was okay, but after walking for an hour, Haitang was so tired that she had to rest several times.

When Yueyue looked at Haitang, she stopped and waited for her. "Aren't you tired, Yueyue?"

"I'm not tired," Yueyue shook his head. He wasn't tired at all. Compared to Haitang's panting, Yueyue was clearly in full swing.

Under these circumstances, Yueyue looked at Haitang and said, "Sister, wait here for Yueyue. Yueyue will carry the things back and come back to pick you up." At just over five years old, Yueyue was incredibly strong. Compared to Haitang, who was a fragile female, Yueyue's strength was simply off the charts.

"Okay, Yueyue, go back first. I'll wait for you here." Haitang nodded. She really didn't have any strength right now. The one-hour journey had almost made her break. More importantly, she was carrying more than 50 kilograms of things, which she couldn't handle.

Hearing this, Yueyue nodded and quickly carried her things back home. On Xiaoqiu's side, after picking wheat, she saw Haitang resting and asked, "Haitang, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm exhausted, let's rest here." Haitang said, looking at the group of people, all of whom were carrying wheat.

"What are these things?" someone asked, looking at the basket of soybeans next to the crabapple tree. "Are they edible?"

"Yes, it's edible. It can be used to make a stew with pig's feet." Haitang didn't hide it; she couldn't keep it a secret any longer. Hearing this, the others looked at Haitang with somewhat complicated expressions.

Haitang seemed to know everything, but none of them asked her where she learned it. Xiaoqiu said, "I'll recite it for you."

Haitang was still a child, only thirteen years old, quite young. Carrying fifty pounds for an hour under such circumstances would be too much for her. Haitang nodded.

On the way back, carrying wheat for Xiao Qiu, Hai Tang told the others about soybeans and what the shells looked like. They all nodded gratefully.
