Just when Shen Yao's heart was pounding with nervousness, Mo Lin and the old patriarch said, "I choose her. I want to go to her house."
As he spoke, he stretched out his short, fat and cute dragon claws and pointed them at Chen Yao.
Now everyone saw it clearly, and they all sighed and gave up the idea of arguing any further.
The old patriarch asked him, "Are you sure? Do you choose to settle down in the Shen family?"
Mo Lin nodded, hummed, and said, "I'm sure it's her. I want to go to her house."
The old patriarch smiled knowingly, nodded and agreed, "Okay, then do as you wish. You will go back with Chen Yao later. If you need any help along the way, you can always come and talk to me."
Mo Lin nodded and said politely, "Thank you, Patriarch."
The old patriarch stroked his beard, and suddenly looked directly at Mo Lin with his cloudy eyes, saying, "Chen Yao is the most fertile female beast in our fox tribe, only appearing once in a thousand years. You are very good at choosing."
Mo Lin was stunned, and a hint of confusion flashed in his dark eyes.
But the old patriarch just waved his hand, said nothing more, and went to divide the prey among everyone with a smile.
Because there was a little dragon in Chen Yao's family, the old patriarch gave them an extra portion when dividing the prey.
The orcs had no objection. After all, the Shen family didn't have any male beasts to go out hunting, and now there was an extra dragon cub to feed, so it was normal to give them a bigger portion.
…
After settling the dragon cubs and dividing the prey, everyone went back home.
Chen Yao took Mo Lin home with her.
On the way, Mo Lin suddenly remembered the moonlight bead that he had placed in the crescent-shaped shallow spring in Moonlight Valley, and thought to himself: That moonlight bead has been placed at the bottom of the water like that. Without him watching over it, it shouldn't have disappeared, right?
Moreover, my grandfather had deliberately branded the exclusive mark of their dragon clan on the moonlight bead. Unless an orc was very advanced, no one could sense that there was a moonlight bead under the spring.
Mo Lin pursed his lips and thought that he probably wouldn't stay with Shen Yao for too long. Maybe he would only stay for a few days to see if he could find out the reason for the dream he had before, and then leave.
Moreover, he had a premonition that even if he could not find out the specific reason in the end, he would just leave and pretend that he had never had that dream.
…
The three sisters of the Shen family returned home with Xiaolong and the divided prey.
After arriving home, Chen Yun went to get some water and dried meat to prepare for today's dinner.
Chen Yao and Shen Qing helped settle Xiaolong and simply processed the purple amaranth flowers and other materials picked today.
They have been busy all day today and are actually very tired. They just want to finish it quickly, have a simple meal and then have a good rest.
When the simple dinner was served, although Chen Yao was very hungry, she lost her appetite when she saw the dried meat.
Just when she was thinking about not eating yet and eating something else when she returned to her room, she suddenly heard Chen Yun say:
"Today, I specially boiled a pot of water and steamed the dried meat on a bamboo steamer for a while. It should be softer now and cooked through.
This should be enough for the little dragon cub to eat, right? I saw Aunt Xu cook for her grandson like this before, so I tried it the same way, but I don’t know how it tastes…”
Hearing her say this, Chen Yao became interested.
After all, she was reluctant to eat it before because the dried meat seemed to be not cooked thoroughly.
So, if she is sure it is cooked now, she is still willing to give it a try.
She picked up a piece of warm dried meat from the plate, first put it under her nose and smelled it, and then after confirming that there was no raw blood smell, she tried to take a small bite and began to taste it.
After taking a small bite, she felt that it was actually acceptable, so she ate the rest of the food in her hand.
After eating a piece of dried meat, she felt that this method was indeed quite good, and it was obvious that there was room for improvement, so she said to Shen Yun: "Sister, how about I cook later? I also want to try making this kind of dried meat."
Chen Yun was stunned and asked her: "What's wrong? Why do you suddenly want to cook?"
Chen Yao thought for a moment and said bluntly, "Because I think food tastes better when cooked. What do you think? Of course, if you prefer the taste of food raw, then I will make it separately. I will make some cooked food for myself and some raw food for you."
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Yun nodded and said, "That's fine. From now on, you can cook, and Qingqing and I will take turns washing the dishes."
Chen Yao smiled and said, "Okay."
Mo Lin casually picked up a piece of dried meat and started eating it. As he chewed, he suddenly realized that any taste seemed to be fine for him?
Anyway, it’s just a simple meal to fill your stomach.
Chen Yao glanced at the pile of raw meat in the corner of the kitchen and thought that it would be more convenient to make it into jerky. After all, the current storage conditions are poor and there are no refrigerators. Meat is not easy to store, so it can only be preserved using the most primitive methods.
But she can portion out a portion and add some cooking steps to it so that she can eat it too.
…
After dinner, the three sisters began to discuss which room to place Xiaolong.
Currently, there are five rooms in their wooden house. The three sisters use three of them in total, and there are two other rooms, one of which was the room where their parents and mother lived before they died.
After they passed away, they tidied up the room and locked it, only unlocking it occasionally to clean the dust and remember their father and mother.
Therefore, that room must not be moved.
In addition, there is another room left, but because it has been empty and not used, it has long been used as a storage room by them.
However, the storage room is now packed with things. Some are difficult to move, some have no place to be stored even if they are taken out, and some are covered in dust.
If we want to clean it up temporarily, it will probably take about a day, or maybe even longer.
Now, they were all in trouble.
Judging from the current situation, Xiaolong can only stay with one of them for one night to get by.
Tomorrow, when they have more time during the day and are fully energized and well rested, they can then properly clean up the storage room, tidy it up, and let Xiaolong live in it alone.
