"Ya!"
The two hadn't gone far when they saw Ya directing the little females to dig for wild vegetables.
If this woman were alive in later generations, she would definitely be a powerful and decisive woman.
Didn't you see the females who came out with her? Regardless of their age, they were all as obedient and well-behaved as good children in front of Ya?
"Xue, we've already searched this half-mountain forest. Let's go check out the other side of the forest. You didn't eat much at noon, do you want to go eat something to replenish your energy?"
As for Ya, she didn't care whether Lin Xue did any work or not, as long as she didn't cause her any trouble.
Moreover, the snow she encountered today gave her a mysterious and unpredictable feeling.
Moreover, Xianlinxue is now the only person in the tribe who knows how to obtain fire in the wild, so Ya no longer dares to let her run around with Liya like before.
She planned to bring Xue with her in the afternoon; this precious little one wasn't very obedient.
If she gets out of his sight again, who knows if this woman will lead Liya and the other woman to a dangerous place.
"All I eat every day is meat and these fruits. Do I have any other choice?"
Since arriving here, Lin Xue hasn't had a proper main meal yet! The only thing she ate last night was some yam, which could be considered a main meal.
This made Lin Xue, who was used to eating staple food with side dishes, feel quite uncomfortable.
"Xue, we only have dried meat and fruit here. How about I have Liya grill a piece of meat for you separately, and you can wrap it in a vegetable leaf to eat?"
Lin Xue no longer argued with her like before, and spoke softly and gently. This made it impossible for Ya to get angry.
"Then I think I'll pass. Let's go look over there; maybe we can find something to fill our stomachs?"
Lin Xue had stored quite a bit of food in her space, but now that she had come to the ancient beastman world, she naturally wanted to experience the local customs and definitely didn't want to eat the food she had eaten before.
If there were no other food, Lin Xue would definitely take it out to eat. But now that there is plenty of food, it's just that she hasn't gotten used to this kind of all-you-can-eat meat diet yet.
If they wanted to eat staple food, Lin Xue thought it would be better to start looking for it in this ancient beastman world.
Aside from the beastmen growing exceptionally tall, the trees, plants, and other edible things she recognized in this world had all grown much larger.
The taste has also been greatly improved!
For example, the wild onions in this world are stronger than those in later generations, and the wild vegetables are also crisper.
"Snow is only for you to choose from now that there's plenty of food! During the cold season, most of these fruits will rot, and very few will survive intact!"
"Because we can't hunt during the cold season, we orcs can't even get enough meat to eat."
"So while there's plenty of food, we should eat more and store up more meat. A plump female will be more resistant to hunger and will be able to help us females get through the cold winter!"
Perhaps because of Lin Xue's change in attitude, Ya was also willing to patiently explain these things to her.
Although Ya believed that Lin Xue should know all this, given the original owner's capricious nature, being prone to tantrums was her true nature!
"You mean these fruits can't be preserved until the cold season? If that's the case, why don't we select some that don't keep well and make them into dried fruit!"
"Although dried fruit can't fill the beastmen's stomachs, it can provide us with some nutrition and give them a better chance of survival!"
As Lin Xue spoke, she took out a dried peach from a leather pouch hanging on her body.
"Try it. If you dry the fruit like this, it won't spoil easily as long as you keep it in a cool, dry cave!"
Lin Xue handed a few pieces of dried peach to Ya, and also gave some to Liya.
"Ya, this dried fruit is so delicious!"
Liya was completely unsuspecting of what Lin Xue gave her and put a piece directly into her mouth.
"Xue, how is this dried fruit made? If it can be preserved until the cold season, then our tribe's orcs will have something else to eat when the heavy snow comes!"
Ya took a bite of the dried fruit and immediately fell in love with the taste.
As Lin Xue said, these dried fruits cannot fill the orcs' stomachs, but they can alleviate their hunger.
Now, wild fruits are almost everywhere to pick. In previous years, because the fruits could not be stored for long, the beastmen only chose to pick a portion of them.
Then, the fruits that were collected and in good condition were selected and stored in several caves.
Few fruits make it to the cold season; most rot before the cold season even arrives.
"No rush. Once we bring the fruit back to the tribe, the beastmen who stayed behind can make dried fruit from the fruit we collected!"
"It would be best to wait until the hunting party brings back the bamboo, then we can make more bamboo strips to dry these fruits!"
Lin Xue and Ya walked together, while Li Ya ran to the other females and collected everything they could see that was edible.
"Ya, I've discovered something that can be stored for a long time and still feed the orcs!"
As they walked, Lin Xue's gaze fell upon something, and she immediately grabbed Ya, who was walking alongside her.
What is it?
Following Lin Xue's gaze, Ya saw nothing that looked edible except for weeds.
Kudzu root!
Lin Xue walked quickly to the patch of kudzu roots. She carefully examined the leaves and then dug down from the roots.
Soon, Lin Xue dug out the kudzu root tubers.
"Ya, let's not look for anything else today. Call the tribespeople over, and let's dig up all the kudzu roots in this area today!"
"Remember not to dig up the very small roots. After you've dug up the larger ones, put all the small ones back into the soil and cover them up. That way, we can come back here next year to harvest another batch of kudzu roots!"
Lin Xue was holding several pieces of kudzu root in her hands. She planned to take them back, grind them into kudzu root powder, and then she would have enough for her staple food.
In addition to yams and yam beans, she would later teach the females in the tribe how to make some cakes.
Dry biscuits are also easy to carry. We can prepare some meat patties and have the hunting team take them out.
This way, the hunters' warriors can have enough to eat, and the orcs can also be healthier.
Thinking of this, Lin Xue felt even happier. She helped Ya organize the females who had come with her and taught them how to dig kudzu roots.
"Gurgle..."
"Cluck cluck..."
While everyone was busy at work, the sound of a hen laying an egg could be heard from not far away.
"It sounds like a Gugu Beast is making a sound!"
Liya looked up and saw that the kudzu roots in front of her were growing too lushly, and she had no idea where the pheasant was calling from.
