Ever since Jin Shu discovered a golden silkworm cocoon in this forest, she brought it back and carefully incubated it. A white silkworm moth emerged from its cocoon and flew away.
Not long after, the silkworm moth flew back to where it was born and laid hundreds of eggs.
These eggs were collected by Jin Shu and, now, under the careful care of these females, have grown into plump and large silkworms.
Judging by the timeline, these silkworms will soon begin spinning silk and forming cocoons.
In the past, Jin Shu would not have believed that silkworms could survive in such a cold winter environment, but the animals in the Beast World Continent seem to be more resilient than modern animals.
This greatly reduced Jin Shu's workload; she only needed to provide the method, and the female birds would do their best to help her.
In the end, hundreds of silkworm cocoons were collected. Jin Shu kept a few dozen for further breeding, and cooked the rest, starting a new round of experimentation.
Jin Shu named this silkworm the Golden Silkworm. Unlike ordinary silkworms, the Golden Silkworm is fat and large when it is a larva, almost as long as her middle finger.
The cocoons that emerge after metamorphosis are even more outrageously large, each one as big as a baby's fist.
Normally, a quilt would require at least a thousand silkworm cocoons, but because these silkworms were so incredibly strong, after making herself a silk quilt, Jin Shu used the remaining silkworm cocoons to make herself a set of pajamas.
A new round of training has begun, and Jin Shu has already broken down the tasks. Now, almost all the females in the room work for her.
To reassure them that they could work for her with peace of mind, Jin Shu spent an afternoon talking with Mu Shan.
In the end, Jin Shu paid an extra 3,000 jin per year in exchange for these female laborers.
These females have nothing to do except raise children, so if Jin Shu wants to use them, then let her use them.
Mu Shan felt like he had hit the jackpot.
After looking at the baby, Jin Shu went to the silkworm house next door for a look around.
After giving her a few more instructions, and seeing that it was almost time, Jin Shu leisurely went back.
In a few quick movements, I cleaned the fish thoroughly and then put it whole into a pot. I fried it in lard until both sides were golden brown, then added boiling water and my homemade seasonings to simmer. Once the soup in the pot turned a tempting milky white, I scooped out all the fish bones and bits.
Add a handful of noodles.
These noodles were given to me by my rat brothers.
Jin Shu originally thought that the Beast World Continent had not yet developed rice and flour, but to her surprise, the rat tribe's interconnected underground world had already produced food that was extremely similar to wheat.
After discovering that these grains were very filling, the rats began to consciously sow and plant them. The noodles in Jin Shu's hand were made from grains sent by the rats.
She hulled and dried the grains herself, then crushed and ground them into powder. Today is Jin Shu's first time trying to make noodles in the Beast World.
She wasn't sure how it would taste, but with this pot of fish soup, it certainly wouldn't be bad.
The flour had better gluten content than Jin Shu had imagined. After kneading it into a dough, she rolled it out into a large sheet.
By this point, Jin Shu had mentally prepared herself for her skin to crack.
To her surprise, the dough was very elastic. Although it was a bit yellow, it tasted exceptionally delicious. Jin Shu, who hadn't eaten noodles in a long time, immediately decided to make another batch of dumplings that night.
After dark, Mu Feng, his head covered in snow and emanating a chill, pushed open Jin Shu's door.
"I flew for most of the day just to deliver a few words to you! Make it up to me! My wings are aching from flapping them!"
As Mu Feng walked, he rubbed his wing roots, complaining all the while, but his face showed no sign of displeasure.
Upon smelling the unfamiliar fragrance inside, Mu Feng quickened his pace and excitedly lifted the curtain to slip inside.
As soon as they entered the house, they saw another male.
What are you doing here?
Mu Feng plopped down in the rocking chair Jin Shu had made, reclining like a lord, and looked at Ah Hai opposite him with a displeased expression.
Although Ah Hai was somewhat afraid of the powerful members of the Eagle King Clan, he was mostly dissatisfied.
“I am Jin Shu’s male, where else would I be? On the contrary, what are you doing here?”
Mu Feng snorted coldly.
"This is the territory of the Eagle King Clan. It's none of your business where I am."
Besides, so what if you're Jin Shu's male? I don't think Jin Shu treats you like her male at all!
"That's not your place, an outsider, to speak here."
"you……"
Just as he opened his mouth, the curtain behind the door moved, and Jin Shu walked in carrying a large bowl of steaming hot soup noodles. Upon seeing this, A Hai quickly got up to help.
Mu Feng sat motionless with his head held high, finding the scene before him utterly displeasing, and began to complain.
"My wings are aching from flying so much. If it weren't for me, would you have been able to get this message out so quickly? Who in the world could help you besides me?"
Jin Shu was generous with her praise.
"Thank you, I'm so grateful to you. Eat well tonight."
"Give me the first bowl."
Ah Hai glanced at Jin Shu, then handed the noodles in his hand to Mu Feng without hesitation, his attitude friendly, showing no trace of the tension from before.
"Thank you for helping our Jin Shu. We are guests, so please eat first."
Mu Feng, who had just been looking smug, looked even more miserable than if he were crying after hearing these words.
"Why aren't you eating? Is there something you don't like?"
Mu Feng stared coldly at Ah Hai.
"I caught this fish myself, and Jin Shu cooked it for me personally, so of course I have to eat it!"
No matter what, you can't resist delicious food.
Upon receiving the noodles, Mu Feng impatiently scooped up a mouthful with his chopsticks and put it directly into his mouth.
Even after being burned, he just licked his lips and took an even bigger bite next time.
"Mmm...delicious!!"
It's so delicious!!
Deliciousness beyond words!!
Mu Feng had never eaten anything so delicious in his life!
The noodles are incredibly chewy, smooth, and delicious. The soup is milky white like jade, bursting with umami flavor. One bite and you'll want to chew and eat your tongue!
Seeing Mu Feng eating, A Hai was also a little tempted, but he still patiently waited for Jin Shu to scoop the dumplings out of the pot so he could eat with her.
"What is this? Its shape is so strange!"
Mu Feng picked up a dumpling and examined it closely.
Jin Shu didn't even look up.
"Beef dumplings."
"Dumplings? Why are they called dumplings?"
"No reason why, just shut up and eat."
After Mu Feng took a bite, he couldn't find the time to ask any more questions.
"The dumplings are delicious too!"
They're all so delicious!
It's a surprise and a feeling of satisfaction that I could never have dreamed of!
