Chapter 199 Pickling



My stepmother really loves barbecue, just like the little panda. And the big white tiger, like the little panda, enjoys even salt-grilled meat. Actually, these two just love the smell of barbecue; it's so delicious!

Lin Qian also eats barbecue. He is not picky about food, but compared to raw meat, cooked meat makes him feel more alive, so he asks Shanfeng to barbecue for him every now and then.

As for the mountain wind, needless to say, people definitely need to eat cooked meat.

Even when Lin Qian doesn't want to eat grilled meat, Shan Feng still wants to eat grilled meat. However, if he's eating it by himself, he usually won't light a fire, but will put it directly on a stone slab and let the sun cook it.

It's not that Shanfeng is afraid of trouble, but the weather is just too hot. As a teenager who grew up under the red flag, he has a sense of fire prevention. Everyone is responsible for forest fire prevention. Although Shanfeng is very careful when using fire, he is still afraid that he might accidentally start a forest fire.

Moreover, in such a lush forest, if a fire breaks out and cannot be extinguished, it will be a devastating disaster. Especially now that the other side of the river has been completely eaten away, if this side is burned as well, he will be a sinner.

Lin Qian was unaware of Shan Feng's thoughts; otherwise, he would have assured the boy that he could use fire without worry.

These level-three spirit beasts are no pushovers. If a fire really breaks out, they'll definitely be able to put it out immediately. Not to mention, Tiger Dad alone could bury the flames by digging.

However, Shanfeng couldn't possibly voice this thought, so they had to continue eating the stone-grilled meat.

Although he only has animals around him, Shanfeng is still very satisfied with his current life. Now he doesn't have to be afraid of dangers that may come at any time, nor does he have to worry about going hungry. Although the food is just so-so, at least it is fresh and he doesn't have to worry about getting sick.

And who else can live as comfortably every day as him, and even have to pet a national treasure?

This kind of life was something Shan Feng could never have imagined before; it was something he would never have even dreamed of.

The more Yama-kaze recalled his precarious life in the city ruins, the more grateful he became for leaving the city back then.

Lin Qian has no regrets about keeping Shanfeng, the human. Although it's an extra person, Shanfeng's appetite is about the same as a chipmunk's, so it doesn't consume much food.

Aside from food, the group doesn't need to worry about anything else. Plus, with the daily tasks they can do, the addition of the mountain wind is actually more beneficial than harmful to the group. At least for now, all of the mountain wind's actions have brought benefits, and no drawbacks have yet appeared.

There are actually many opportunities and good chances in this world, but whether you can seize them and make the decision is hard to predict.

Whether wild beasts or humans, every decision they make has its own cause and effect; it may be good or bad, and only time will tell.

The marinated meat slices were brought out after sunset. The chipmunks processed the vines they pulled from the forest and tied them to the tree trunks to make ropes to hang the meat slices.

Lin Qian and Tiger Mom poked the meat slices one by one with slender and tough wild grass twigs. Compared to the work of marinating, hanging the meat slices was really difficult for a group of wild beasts.

The mountain breeze could help when the sun was just setting, but once it got dark, the boy lit a fire for light. There was no other way; he was just an ordinary human child and didn't have the ability to see in the dark.

The temperature dropped suddenly at night, just like water vapor evaporated rapidly during the day; in the blink of an eye, the forest became chilly.

Fortunately, the warmth from the campfire dispelled some of the chill, and the mountain wind made me feel like I needed to put on a fur coat when I got back.

Being with Lin Qian and the others meant there was no shortage of animal hides, and the beasts were generous, giving Shan Feng a lot of good animal hides.

The inferior animal hides were all made into animal hide bags and the like. The animal hides that could be used to make clothes were warm and soft enough. Of course, Shanfeng did the sewing himself.

The boy's first attempt at sewing clothes was a bit funny, but they were wearable. After practicing a few times, the clothes he made were now wearable, without any problems like being too tight or too short. However, they were definitely not good-looking; they were just functional.

The sewing needles and thread were naturally made; the chipmunk didn't collect needles and thread from the supermarket.

The needle that Shangfeng is using now is a bone needle, which was ground out with the help of a chipmunk. The little guy's teeth are so good that he can even chew on spirit beast bones as snacks. Ordinary animal bones are very easy to grind out. Just grind down two incisors and a bone needle with a diameter of 1.5 millimeters and a length of 4 centimeters can be made.

The little guy's claws felt numb when drilling holes. Looking at its little claws, it felt like the thing would break if it were poked.

Sure enough, the chipmunk broke off a section of the bone needle the first time it poked its paw, but it was still usable, only half a centimeter broken off.

However, the chipmunk dared not touch it now, fearing that the thing it had worked so hard to create would be gone in a flash.

The little guy went to find Lin Qian first, then wandered around for a while, and finally Tiger Mom poked him in disgust.

Don't be fooled by the tiger's big claws; they are incredibly sharp. Moreover, the tiger mother's control over spiritual power is extremely subtle and precise. Her claws only touched the bone needle without piercing it; instead, she used a wisp of spiritual power to pierce through the bone needle.

Although it was just making a bone needle, this small matter allowed Shanfeng to gain a deeper understanding of the beasts he lived with. He realized that none of them were people he could contend with.

Especially the tigers; with a single sliding tackle, he can't even fill the gap between their teeth.

Oh, the tigers might even complain that he doesn't have enough meat; he won't even have a chance to fill the gaps between their teeth.

As for thread, it is indeed more troublesome than making needles. Although there is no ready-made silk thread, there are plenty of raw materials. There are all kinds of things in this forest, such as hemp and cotton. As long as you look carefully, you can find the raw materials.
