Shengxia watched the chief leave in a flurry, feeling both amused and exasperated.

Along the way, the orcs who encountered the chieftain kept turning back, wondering what good thing had happened to make him so happy.

Wherever the chief went, a small-scale disturbance ensued.

"Hey, what's going on? I've never seen the chief so happy before."

"It must be something great, let's go find out."

"Yes, yes, hurry up, or we'll miss our turn."

Remembering the aphrodisiac wine they missed last time, the group traveled together, following behind the chief, hoping to get firsthand information.

The chief strode forward, his light steps making him look incredibly proud.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a group of males following behind, but he didn't expose them, which was perfect since there was no need to notify them.

When the chief arrived home, all the males of the tribe were there.

He choked for a moment, thinking, "These good-for-nothing kids."

He couldn't hide the smile in his eyes, and his voice boomed: "Everyone, quiet down!"

"Since everyone's here, I won't notify you individually. I have some good news."

"Shengxia taught me how to make noodles, and I will pass it on to everyone. I will only say it once, so listen carefully."

Suddenly, a buzz of noise erupted below, with everyone whispering and discussing among themselves.

I can't believe she actually taught everyone how to make such a precious dish for free.

The chieftain's gaze turned slightly cold as he surveyed the surroundings. His icy stare swept over them, and the beastmen involuntarily ceased their discussion.

"First, there's a dumpling soup that both females and cubs can eat. Put flour in a bowl and use chopsticks. From now on, our tribe will all use chopsticks to eat."

"Stir well with chopsticks... noodles... dumplings... steamed buns..."

After talking for more than half an hour, the chief's throat became dry, so he stopped to drink some water.

He chatted and laughed among the crowd, his bright eyes sparkling with a smug light, clearly enjoying himself.

Seeing the group of orcs below looking on with a mixture of surprise and joy, he was overjoyed. "These are the females of our tribe! They are truly righteous."

"Okay, that's all for today. Everyone, remember to make dumpling soup for your partners when you get home today."

At the chief's command, the crowd scattered, eager to return home and share the good news with their partners.

The chief turned around and saw the witch doctor standing behind him, smiling and looking radiant.

"Witch doctor, what brings you here?"

“Summer is a good girl, but two partners can’t protect her,” the witch doctor sighed.

The windy season is coming soon, and we won't be able to hunt for a while. We need to stock up on food as soon as the windy season is over.

During this period, other tribes may come to steal food, and two males are not enough to protect Shengxia.

The chief frowned. It seemed he had to go to Shengxia and explain the situation in person.

The chief's joy didn't last long before he went to Shengxia's house with a heavy expression.

After listening to the chief's advice, Shengxia did not reply for a long time.

"Chief, I don't want to find any other males. I have Yang Yun and Lang Jun, that's enough."

"Why? Other females are willing to find several, so that they can be guaranteed a good life." The chief asked, puzzled.

Sheng Xia was at her wit's end, not knowing how to explain it. She couldn't accept being in a relationship with someone she had no feelings for. Even if she were to find someone, it had to be someone she loved in return.

This huge generation gap left her speechless.

The chief thought he had persuaded her, and then said, "I think Aoki is quite good."

When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. The tribe insisted on assigning her a male, and she couldn't refuse.

Shengxia turned her head and looked at Wolf King and Sheep Cloud, who were avoiding her at a distance, and made up her mind.

Looking up at the chief with a determined gaze, he said, "Chief, I have a way to preserve meat. I'll give it to the tribe in exchange for your not interfering with my search for a mate."

Upon hearing this, the chief's gaze turned serious. "How to preserve food?"

Every year, as the snow season approaches, the tribe begins to stockpile meat, but they simply cannot preserve it.

They can only put the meat into the cave when it gets cold, but even then, a lot of the meat will spoil before the snow season.

Now, in the height of summer, she says she has a method for preserving food.

The chief asked solemnly, "Do you really have a way to preserve meat?"

Shengxia nodded: "Yes, Chief, I only have one request, which is not to interfere with my finding a partner, and not to force a partner on me."

After a moment's hesitation, the chief agreed. Food was a matter of life and death for the entire tribe, and he would only not interfere with Sheng Xia finding a mate, which was a good deal.

At worst, I can take care of her secretly in the future.

“Okay,” the chief replied readily.

Sheng Xia smiled and said, "It's too late today, let's do it tomorrow. You can arrange for people to study in the square tomorrow."

"This time, have everyone bring meat, and also have someone prepare more firewood, salt, and large vats. I will teach everyone how to make cured meat and smoked meat."

Luckily, there hasn't been much sunshine lately, so it's best to marinate the smoked meat on a cloudy day.

"Alright, alright, don't worry, I'll arrange it." The chief left thoughtfully and quickly arranged everything according to Sheng Xia's request.

The next morning, the tribal square was bustling with activity.

Yang Yun got up early to make dumpling soup, a sauce made from stir-fried tomatoes, and finally sprinkled salt on it and added two eggs.

It looks good and tastes delicious.

In the height of summer, after a satisfying meal, he said, "Let's go, take the pork belly and the big vat, we're going to marinate meat today."

The female looked stunningly beautiful, and both Yang Yun and the Wolf King were mesmerized.

The last animal carried firewood and meat, while another animal carried a large vat and salt.

In the height of summer, I followed leisurely behind, but when we arrived at the square, I was startled.

The place was packed with people, including females; it seemed like the entire tribe was here.

What Shengxia didn't know was that food was precious in the beast world. Hunting was impossible during the snowy season, and beastmen starved to death every year, making methods for preserving food extremely valuable.
