Today, Haitang made a dish of honey and yam. It tasted very good, but the portion was too small. Each person only got a small bowl. Of course, it was delicious, so just tasting it was enough.

My favorites are probably Yueyue and Xingxing, these two kids. Kids can't resist sweet things, and Haitang felt gratified when she saw them.

I prepared some food for the children, roasted a pig's leg, and since the weather is getting colder, Haitang cooked noodles.

The family sat in the room and ate. The next day, Haitang felt the weather was different; it was icy cold and she didn't want to go out because it was snowing outside.

Seeing that it was snowing outside, Haitang had no choice but to stay inside. Dongfang Long and the others also stayed home and started tidying up.

I went to check on the vegetable garden. Although it was low, I could still squat down and go in to take a look. The vegetables in the garden were quite good, and the warmth inside was also good, so they were growing very well.

Haitang inquired about the vegetable garden and breathed a sigh of relief when she heard it was good. She was worried that the vegetables in the garden would spoil, as they were her food reserves.

A six-month winter is too long. Once it starts snowing, it won't stop for much of the winter. It usually snows every other day, then stops.

Clearing the snow is the most important thing. Dongfanglong and Shihu love to go hunting, sometimes with good results and sometimes with no results.

Haitang wanted to keep others from going out, but she didn't stop them because... what should she say? If she didn't let them go out, it wouldn't be comfortable for two people to sit in the house.

Huo Qiu had also come once to talk to Haitang about the Azure Eagle Tribe. "Those little beastmen are being raised now. Once they're tamed, they can serve as guards for the tribe. By the way, I came to ask you how to ensure they can be fully transformed into beastmen."

"A balanced diet is essential, including both wild vegetables and meat, and some fruit as well," Haitang said. "By the way, how are the wolf cubs growing?"

"Not yet. They were fierce at first, but they've been tamed and are very well-behaved today," Huo Qiu said. The beast tamer was worried about ruining those few eagle beastmen, which is why he came to Haitang for advice.

"That's good. The orcs shouldn't be very big, so take good care of them. Give them meat and wild vegetables, they need to eat everything. Just eating meat isn't enough nutrition." Haitang's words made Huoqiu blink.

However, looking at the two little brats in Haitang's family, I understand what he means. To be honest, just looking at the two kids in Haitang's family, I can tell that they are tall and strong.

Many people envied this, and many believed that these two dolls could definitely transform into beasts. Huo Qiu also thought so.

At first, these two dolls were tiny, but now they've grown quite a bit. In fact, even Haitang was startled by them; they're about the size of a scallion.

However, according to Shi Hu, it's normal for orcs to grow taller. As for those who aren't tall... Haitang understands. It's similar to malnutrition. When the Eastern Dragon first came, his height was limited because he didn't have enough to eat. Now, the Eastern Dragon is already 1.78 meters tall.

Although Xiao Lu is a little shorter, she's just as good as Xiao He. In fact, she and Xiao He are starting to fall behind. In a few days, her two younger brothers might catch up, which is something to be happy about.

Haitang understood that only under these circumstances could the two children transform into beasts. The matter of Dongfang Long's transformation into a beast was always the most important thing to Haitang, and Dongfang Long often explained it to her.

So Haitang observed constantly. When Huoqiu left, Haitang looked at Dongfanglong again and said, "The fire should be full." Dongfanglong said, following Shihu's words about the fire, and Haitang nodded.

"If we can find a Ganoderma lucidum now, your transformation into a beast will be just around the corner," Haitang said, but the problem is that such a thing is hard to come by.

Some people in the village have found it, but those people know the uses of Ganoderma lucidum and they've kept it... Some people are keeping it to use when the doll transforms into a beast.

It's not easy to ask for Haitang, because every household has several little beastmen, and in such a situation, this word is a lifesaver.

Haitang understood Dongfang Long's situation and had her own plans. Dongfang Long said, "Don't be in such a hurry, I'm not." Haitang looked at Dongfang Long and knew he was anxious but didn't tell her, which made her feel a little sorry for him.

However, looking at Dongfang Long, she couldn't help but feel a little helpless. Dongfang Long immediately smiled at Haitang, showing his beautiful teeth, and said, "Tangtang, I'll bring you something delicious tomorrow." Haitang nodded.

Dongfang Long was happy that Haitang cared about him. Although he couldn't transform into a beast yet, and he had been anxious, he didn't want Haitang to worry. Haitang nodded.

In the following days, Haitang started making quilts at home. The feathers were all chicken and rabbit feathers, which were packed together. Haitang cleaned up all the feathers on the pattern.

Since they can't go out in winter, they use this time to make quilts. With more people in the family, Haitang is thinking about building a house, at least a two-story one, which will certainly test other people's skills.

Haitang shook her head, deciding to put her mind at ease. Since the blanket on Xiaolu's side was thinner, Haitang brought her a thicker blanket instead.

As for Dongfanglong and Shihu, after Dongfanglong grew taller, he slept alone and also built a bed. The room was just big enough to fit two beds, and the quilts inside were sewn by Haitang and Xiaohe in the winter.

It was time for Xingxing and Yueyue to sleep, so the blanket was given to them. Xingxing and Yueyue still wanted to sleep with their sisters, but after being persuaded by Dongfang Long, they thought about it and realized that they were men, so they had to give up.
