Chapter 111 Return
When the people of the White Wolf tribe were eating hot pot around the stove, the people of the Sea Tribe were drooling over the delicious smell.
Today, Chu Ange made pies and cooked noodle dumpling soup. The people of the White Wolf Tribe enjoyed delicious food every day, and the people of the Sea Tribe were eager to join the White Wolf Tribe.
Holding a bowl of steaming noodle dumpling soup and munching on a delicious pie, I became more determined to join the White Wolf Tribe.
"This meat is so delicious, it tastes like nothing I've ever tasted before."
"What is this?" The Sea Chief spat out a mushroom crumb into his palm.
"Shiitake mushrooms." Chu Ange said.
“What are shiitake mushrooms?”
Chu Ange showed him a dried mushroom: "This is the mushroom. This is what it looks like after being dried. Soak it in hot water when you eat it, and it will return to its original shape."
The sea creatures found it very novel, "Is it the same as plants?"
Chu Ange was slightly stunned: "How do you know the stems of plants?"
"The people of the Little Rabbit Tribe exchanged it with us for salt." said the Sea Tribe Chief.
The rabbit tribe has relatively weak hunting ability and there are many powerful natural enemies around them, so they have very few opportunities to obtain meat.
In most cases, the orcs of this tribe had to rely on various plants to fill their stomachs.
However, when winter comes, the external environment becomes extremely harsh. Although one could still find some plants to feed their stomachs, they are now hard to find.
In order to safely survive the long and cold winter, the orcs of the Rabbit Tribe usually start preparing food for the winter months in advance.
Those families with less financial resources have already started taking action as early as the hot summer, carefully selecting and storing some foods that are easy to preserve and not prone to spoilage.
However, something unexpected happened... When winter really came, the food that had been stored with great effort in the summer had all its moisture evaporated due to long-term storage and the dry climate!
It's heartbreaking to see these foods that I have worked so hard to save for half a year and are now burnt in the sun, but I really can't bear to throw them away.
After all, in this snowy season, every bit of food seems extremely precious.
So people came up with a solution - return to nature, transform back into animals and eat hay.
In this way, the Rabbit Tribe survived several cold winters.
Until one winter day, a female found that some of the stored food had become moldy, so she took it to wash. She couldn't bear to throw it away because she thought she could still eat it after washing.
Maybe it was because she washed for a little too long, as she was washing, she was surprised to find that the plants had actually swelled up!
She was so excited that she quickly called her father to come out and see.
Her father was the chief of the Rabbit Tribe. He immediately got some dried plants and soaked them in water until they swelled.
Although these plants after soaking cannot fully recover to the fresh and juicy state when they were just picked, they are much better than their previous dry and yellow appearance.
"The little rabbit tribe is saved during the winter." The rabbit chief laughed and passed on this method.
From then on, every time the hot summer came, the people of the Rabbit Tribe would take action to dry all kinds of plants for future use.
"The Little Rabbit Tribe..." Chu Ange murmured the name softly. Isn't this the tribe that A Niang once belonged to?
"Yes, you can also call it dried vegetables." Chu Ange said.
"We really like these dried vegetables of yours." said the chief of the sea tribe.
Because of the climate at the seaside, they can hardly eat plants, so the sea people are very fond of the vegetables brought by the tribes living in the forests and mountains.
"You helped us cook salt this time, and the Dragon God felt your sincerity. Next year I will bring more food to exchange with you." Chu Ange said.
The head of the Sea Tribe smiled with his big teeth showing, "Thank you, messenger of the Dragon God. The Sea Tribe will always be friends of the White Wolf Tribe."
Three days later.
The White Wolf Tribe cooked more than 400 kilograms of salt, which was three times as much as they had exchanged in the past.
It's time to return home.
During these three days, Chu Ange was not idle. He asked the people of the sea tribe to help catch a lot of kelp and some seafood that could be dried.
While others were boiling salt, she was drying seafood kelp.
The sea people are not rare to these little things. They will help to get as many as Chu Ange wants.
"Can you catch any shrimps?" Chu Ange asked.
"What are shrimp?"
Chu Ange found a small shrimp from the kelp pile and handed it to the people of the sea tribe: "This is the small shrimp."
"This is too small and won't fill you up. We won't want it."
"Can you help me catch some?" Chu Ange asked.
"This is not tasty, there is no meat." The sea people advised.
"It's delicious when dried and cooked into soup." said Chu Ange.
The people of the Sea Tribe wanted to persuade them again, but the chief of the Sea Tribe said, "If the messenger tells you to fish, just go ahead and fish. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Anything can become delicious in the hands of the messenger. If you think it doesn't taste good, the messenger can make it taste good. Hurry up and fish it."
Three days later, the White Wolf Tribe returned.
All the people of the sea tribe came out to see them off, and were very reluctant to see them leave.
During the few days of helping to cook salt, the sea people tasted delicious food they had never tasted before. The messenger turned the small seafood that they looked down upon into delicious food, and they also began to love eating them.
"Mr. Envoy, I wish you a safe journey."
"Mr. Envoy, you must come again next year."
"Mr. Envoy, I will help you make salt again next year."
Before setting off, Langlin and his companions took off their cotton clothes and gave them to the people of the sea tribe.
"I hope your females and cubs can survive this cold winter safely." Langlin handed the cotton coat to the Sea Chief.
The chief of the sea tribe was stunned for a moment, "Thank you, I am ashamed of my previous rudeness to you."
Wolf Forest: "It's not easy for the tribes in the East Wasteland Forest to come to the seaside to exchange salt. I hope you can be more friendly to these tribes in the future."
"I understand." The chief of the sea tribe said, "My friend, I wish you peace."
Chu Ange waved at them and said, "Next year, the White Wolf Tribe will come to your tribe with the blessing of the Dragon God."
The salt exchange team walked a long way, until they could no longer see the sea or the sea tribe. Lang Lin then took a few quick steps and caught up with Chu Ange: "Ange, I have always had a question."
"What's the question?" Chu Ange asked.
"Why don't we teach the sea tribe how to make salt? Next year we won't have to spend so much time making salt ourselves." Lang Lin said. Besides, the labor remuneration they gave to the sea tribe was very generous, and they could get almost this much salt in return.
"Because I also want to do the salt business, and refined salt is my patent." Chu Ange said.
"Ah! We are also going to do salt business?" Langlin was surprised.
