Chapter 14: Farming and Weaving
Hearing this, Bai Zhaoyan was overjoyed and wiped the sweat off his head. "Okay, I'll give you the hoe and help you move the seedlings."
Lang Ye was unwilling to be left behind, "I want one too."
Ye Zheng said calmly, "And me."
Cen Ran put on a typical fox smile, "They all have a share, how can I be left out?"
The four of them, plus Bai Yuan, worked for a whole day to plant the sweet potato seedlings.
Looking at the lush green color, Bai Zhaoyan suddenly felt a sense of pride.
She caught fish in the river, grilled the meat, fish, bamboo fungus and black fungus on a stone slab, made a hodgepodge, and reluctantly exchanged 1 point for the seasoning.
As soon as it was sprinkled on, the fragrance immediately spread. The orc had a keen nose and immediately looked up at her.
Bai Zhaoyan shouted, "It's time to eat."
She hadn't had such a lively meal since she traveled through time.
The six of them sat around the stone slab. Bai Yuan sniffed carefully, "What's added to this? It smells so good."
Not only him, even Ye Zheng, who hated her the most, swallowed unconsciously.
Everyone's appetite was whetted.
Bai Zhaoyan distributed chopsticks made of tree branches to several people, "Secret, eat quickly, there's more if you don't have enough."
The firewood burned, crackling and emitting sparks from time to time. Accompanied by the sound of birdsong and wind, the few people ate up all the food prepared by Bai Zhaoyan.
Ye Zheng was full and squinted his eyes comfortably. He didn't know that Bai Zhaoyan's cooking skills were so good. It was just to his taste.
[bite--]
[System: Ye Zheng's favorability +5, host's vitality +5 days.]
Bai Zhaoyan raised her eyebrows calmly. It turned out that the insidious and cunning white snake liked delicious food. She remembered it.

In the darkness of the night, Mia looked at the bustling crowd in the distance, and couldn't help feeling lost.
Ye Zheng actually joined Bai Zhaoyan in making trouble.
How come Bai Zhaoyan is so lucky?
"What are you looking at?" Noah walked to her and followed her line of sight.
"What else can I see?" Mia's voice was filled with unconcealed jealousy, but she restrained herself a little when facing Noah. "Why are you here?"
"Didn't you say to ask Bai Zhaoyan how her supernatural powers awakened? Did she tell you?"
Noah looked hesitant and stammered.
Mia guessed she knew the answer when she saw her reaction, "Noah, tell me."
"Why didn't you tell me? Are you, like Bai Zhaoyan, planning to ignore the rest of us females after you awaken your powers?"
Noah sighed, "I didn't. How could I do such a thing?"
"It's just that the method Bai Zhaoyan suggested is too dangerous, so I don't dare let you go. Look, didn't I go either?"
"You're afraid of me, but I'm not." Mia was determined to win over Bai Zhaoyan, "Okay, Noah, just tell me."
"Okay." Noah half-heartedly agreed, "You have to go into the forest to have adventures. But the forest is too dangerous. If the leader finds out, he'll be kicked out of the tribe."
Mia: "Noah, you are just a coward."
"The chief won't be angry until I truly awaken my powers. And even if I'm really kicked out of the tribe, other tribes will definitely be vying for me to live with them."
She was immersed in her own beautiful fantasy and didn't notice the slight curling of Noah's lips.
Noah was suspicious by nature, so he didn't dare to go into the forest rashly. That's why he decided to let Mia be his pawn. "Now that you've made up your mind, when do you plan to go into the forest?"
Mia thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait until the leader takes all the males to go hunting. As long as you keep it a secret for me, no one will find out."
"Okay, I'll keep it a secret for you."

When Bai Zhaoyan woke up, it was already early the next morning. After washing up and taking a walk in the fields, she came back and found Noah already waiting at the entrance of the cave.
As soon as Nuoya saw her, he approached her and took her arm affectionately, "Zhaoyan, you're back. The leader asked me to come find you."
"All the females are waiting for you in the square to weave baskets together." She smiled shyly, "None of us know how to do it, so we have no choice but to ask you to lead us."
"Okay, let's go."
The two walked towards the square, and Noah watched her calmly out of the corner of his eye.
Bai Zhaoyan has lost a lot of weight, and the acne on her face has disappeared. Now she has a rosy complexion and looks much healthier.
She could smell the fragrance on her body, and a hint of imperceptible jealousy flashed across Noya's eyes.
She hated Bai Zhaoyan, but Bai Zhaoyan was lucky. She had a leader and was forced to marry four of the most powerful beastly husbands.
Her father and mother had passed away long ago, and as an orphan, she had no ability to compete with Bai Zhaoyan.
So she pretended to get close to him and little by little turned this fool Bai Zhaoyan into what she wanted him to be.
Noah thought that she could get Ye Zheng in this way, and with her beauty and kindness she would be chosen as a goddess in the future.
But Bai Zhaoyan's sudden change made her feel panic.
On the flat square, Bai Yuan had already led the orcs to cut a lot of bamboo. They sharpened bones or stones and could barely use them as knives.
When Bai Zhaoyan arrived, everyone was shocked by how sharp the machete was as they watched her remove the bamboo strips.
Bai Zhaoyan took the bamboo strips and began to weave the baskets. The other females gathered around her and learned slowly.
The bamboo strips were very thin and resilient, and Mia's fingertips were scratched, and blood immediately oozed out. She cried out in pain, threw away the shapeless basket, and stood up. "What the hell is this? I don't want to learn it!"
Bai Zhaoyan glanced at her without saying anything. Mia looked at her hands with heartache and kept blowing on them.
The bamboo strips were merciless. Not only was she injured, but all the females, including Bai Zhaoyan, were scratched to varying degrees.
But none of them reacted as strongly as Mia.
Noah stepped in to mediate, "Okay, Mia, the basket is very useful. It's convenient for us to store things, and we can also learn an extra skill."
"Look, I'm injured too, right? It's nothing serious. Zhao Yan has healing abilities, so just ask her to help with the treatment later."
Mia became angrier and angrier as she listened. She pointed at Bai Zhaoyan and said, "She has superpowers and isn't afraid of pain, so just let her do it herself. Why bring us along? We don't have superpowers."
Females are protected, and Mia has never been injured or seen blood.
Nuoya looked embarrassed. "Hunting requires a lot of baskets. Zhaoyan, a female, can't finish it all."
Bai Zhaoyan did not stop his movements and did not forget to instruct other females in the gaps.
She was not affected by it and just said calmly: "If you want to use it, learn it. If you don't want to use it, get out."
"You..." Mia glared at her and kicked the half-finished basket. "I won't do it!"
After saying that, he turned and ran away.
The other females looked at each other, but none of them left.
There is strength in numbers, and the females are smart, so they quickly made dozens of large baskets and placed them aside.
Seeing that all the females had successfully mastered this skill, Bai Zhaoyan left with satisfaction. Before leaving, he did not forget to use healing techniques to help them heal their minor scratches.
The females had all scolded Bai Zhaoyan to some extent, and when they saw that she did not hold a grudge against them and not only taught them new skills but also helped them with treatment, they all felt ashamed for a moment.
But the good times didn't last long. At midnight, a fire broke out in the square and all the baskets were burned.
