Alan took a few more bites of durian flesh before smiling and saying, "It's really delicious, Ahua, do you want to try it?"
“Um…no need, you can eat it yourself,” the other females quickly waved their hands, refusing Alan’s offer.
"Fine, I won't eat it then. I'll eat it all by myself," Alan snorted softly, feeling a faint sense of satisfaction. Of everyone, only she and the goddess shared the same taste. Didn't that say something?
One of the younger females watched Alan eat with relish and couldn't help but lick her lips as well.
"Sister Alan, is it really that delicious?"
“Of course, how could the goddess lie to me? You can doubt me, but you can’t doubt the goddess,” Alan said matter-of-factly.
Upon hearing this, everyone found it quite reasonable: "Then Alan, don't eat it all, share some with us too."
"Don't grab them, don't grab them, I have plenty more here," Xia Qingqing quickly took out several ripe durians and took out the flesh to distribute to everyone.
Everyone became instantly addicted after just one bite; it was the first time they had ever realized that stinky fruit could taste so good.
To be honest, no one in the Fierce Tiger Tribe has ever eaten the Stinky Fruit before. After all, the smell alone is enough; who would have thought that it could be eaten?
Not to mention that the season when the stinky fruit ripens is the most abundant season for food, making people even less inclined to eat that stinky thing.
Ahua stood silently ten meters away from the crowd, watching everyone eat with relish, and couldn't help but chuckle twice.
She now believes Xia Qingqing's claim that durian is truly delicious, but just smelling it makes her want to vomit; she doesn't have the fortune to enjoy it.
After eating the durian, everyone rushed back to pick more fruit, as it was the fruit's ripening season and they would all spoil if they weren't picked quickly.
Xia Qingqing then single-handedly controlled the aircraft to pick all the durians from the four durian trees, which she would then distribute to the others later.
Using her supernatural abilities, Xia Qingqing washed her dirty hands with water and headed towards the woods where Ahua and the others were.
The ground was already piled high with fruit that the females had picked.
Ahua told Xia Qingqing that when it got dark, the tribe's beastmen would come and take the fruit back.
Xia Qingqing smiled and said, "No need for that trouble, I'll just help you transport it back."
After saying that, she put all the fruit on the ground into the system warehouse.
Everyone was used to this scene, because Ali also had this magical ability. Of course, in everyone's eyes, Ali's magical ability was given to him by the goddess.
Xia Qingqing was a little curious. With so many fruits on this mountain, could Ali and his tribe really eat them all?
Ahua said, "We really can't finish eating them all at once, so we'll eat the fruits that spoil easily first, and store the fruits that are easy to preserve deep in the cave until the cold season comes."
"I see," Xia Qingqing nodded thoughtfully.
She suddenly remembered something: could fruit be used to make wine? She seemed to have some related books in her system's inventory.
Since we can't possibly eat all this fruit, why not use it to make wine?
Fruit wine retains some of the nutrients from the fruit during the fermentation process, containing rich vitamins and amino acids needed by the human body, and moderate consumption is also beneficial to health.
Xia Qingqing immersed her consciousness in the system's warehouse and found a book that taught people how to make their own fruit wine.
After hearing Xia Qingqing's suggestion, Ahua agreed without hesitation.
"Qingqing, you're amazing! You can even brew your own wine. Tell me what you need and I'll go get it."
Xia Qingqing looked at the contents of the book and then said, "We need to prepare some containers for storing fruit wine, then wash and dry the fruit, and put the stems and stalks into a sealed jar. The book also says that we need yeast and sugar, which I happen to have here."
Back in their territory, the beastmen learned that Xia Qingqing was going to teach them how to brew wine, and they were even happier than the females.
Because there was a large quantity of fruit, even with the help of many people, it still took three days to finish brewing all the fruit wine.
Xia Qingqing sealed the last jar, clapped her hands, and said, "Alright, this batch can be drunk in about half a month. The middle batch will take a month, and the innermost batch will take three months to open."
“Do we have to wait that long? The cold season will be here in just over a month,” said one of the orcs.
Xia Qingqing smiled and said, "Good things are worth waiting for. Besides, wouldn't it be better to wait until the winter season? We can all stay in the cave, drink some wine, and eat some barbecue. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
"The goddess is right."
......
As the cold season approaches, the entire tribe becomes increasingly busy.
Previously, the beastmen would only dare to start hunting in large quantities about half a month before the cold season, because meat could not be preserved for that long. This often resulted in them not having enough food, making the cold season particularly difficult to endure.
But ever since Xia Qingqing taught them how to extract salt, how to marinate and air-dry meat, they no longer struggle to make ends meet during the cold season.
At Abao and Abei's insistence, they finally convinced their father to allow the two of them to go out with the hunting team.
Abao excitedly ran up to Xia Qingqing and boasted, "Auntie, I'm going to bring you the biggest wild buffalo tomorrow."
"Hmph, then I'll bring back the biggest wild boar for Auntie, no, I'll bring back two," Abe retorted, equally unwilling to be outdone.
Xia Qingqing rubbed one of her little heads with each hand and said with a smile, "Then Auntie thanks you in advance."
"Hehe, you're welcome," Abao rubbed against Xia Qingqing's palm.
Before the hunting team set off the next day, Xia Qingqing told Ali that she also wanted to help.
Ali naturally disagreed. Qingqing was their tribe's most honored guest, so how could they let their guest go and work with them?
Xia Qingqing immediately changed her tune: "I'm just idling at home anyway, so I'll go with you guys and see what's going on."
"Want to watch the fun? Okay, let's get going then," Ali said without hesitation.
To make traveling easier, all the orcs transformed back into their animal forms as soon as they left their territory.
Xia Qingqing instantly felt the overwhelming pressure; she looked extremely small standing among a group of large tigers.
Ali lay down on the ground, gesturing for Xia Qingqing to come up.
Although Xia Qingqing possessed a flying artifact, she had never ridden a tiger before, and she was immediately tempted: "Then I'm really coming up?"
Without waiting for Ali's reply, she nimbly climbed onto Ali's back.
"Hold on tight."
Ali shouted and led the tiger pack away into the distance.
Xia Qingqing was jostled around on the tiger's back until she was completely disoriented, and could only cling tightly to the tiger's fur on Ali's body.
She regretted it. She shouldn't have been so eager for something new. Was the flying artifact not appealing enough, or was the hovercar not comfortable enough?
