Chapter 23 The Arrogant Beast Husband
Jiang Xi's gaze swept over the two of them before landing on the house whose outer walls were covered in mud.
"I think my room should be pretty warm by now."
Lu Liufeng and Mu Ling both looked up at the mud house and fell silent.
For a moment, Lu Liufeng felt a pang of regret, regretting that he had finished painting the exterior walls so quickly.
Seeing that the two were no longer saying anything too explicit, Jiang Xi looked at Mu Ling and said.
"Mu Ling, we're making potato noodles, do you want to join us?"
"Potato noodles?"
When Mu Ling pushed open the door, she discovered the strange things the female protagonist and Lu Liufeng were doing.
Although he didn't understand, he subconsciously felt that what the female master said was right.
When Jiang Xi saw that he was about to touch her, she quickly stepped in his direction to block him.
"Go wash your hands first! Wash them very clean!"
Mu Ling glanced at his hands, a hint of embarrassment appearing on his usually cold face.
He turned around and went to wash his hands.
Jiang Xi stretched.
With so few kitchen utensils, setting things up is quite a hassle.
The process of pounding the potatoes into powder alone took a long time.
There was no filter here, so they could only make one out of straw. But even so, when they were pounded and squeezed, it would fall out if they weren't careful.
If she had known it was this complicated, she wouldn't have made potato noodles.
After Mu Ling washed his hands and came in, Jiang Xi simply gave him her seat so that he and Lu Liufeng could sit together.
Anyway, it's a slow job, and there aren't many skills involved.
When Mu Ling saw that the female master had given him a few instructions and then left, she felt a sense of inexplicable loss.
Does the female lead... dislike him?
Jiang Xi, of course, didn't; she simply had other things to do.
For example, making soap!
She had already separated the alkaline water used for making soap once that morning.
After separation, carbonized shell powder was added, and after filtration, a second sedimentation was carried out.
Now that the mixed alkaline water has settled into clear water after the second sedimentation, we can begin the final step.
Make soap!
But then another problem arose...
Jiang Xi's gaze swept around the kitchen before finally settling on the bamboo outside the door.
The stone knife was large and heavy, and she couldn't lift it with any strength, so she could only ask Lu Liufeng for help.
"Lu Liufeng, could you help me split a few bamboo tubes?"
Lu Liufeng naturally agreed.
Just as Mu Ling was about to say he could do it too, he saw Lu Liufeng use his wind blade to slash out several neatly cut bamboo tubes in two quick movements.
The words that Mu Ling was about to say were swallowed back down.
But then I thought, his wolf claws can also chop, right?
However, it's all over now.
Jiang Xi carried several bamboo tubes into the kitchen, her dark eyes sparkling with joy.
Mu Ling was stunned.
He finally understood why Lu Liufeng said that his current life was good.
He had a vague feeling about it too.
The female master before me exuded an aura that made people feel happy and relaxed.
The former mistress was always gloomy, making people want to stay far away from her.
Unlike now, when he couldn't help but want to get closer to her, to listen to her, and to give her everything she wanted.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xi heated up the lard that she had set aside last night.
Since the lard has solidified, it's not easy to mix with alkaline water. Just heat it up a little to melt it.
The lard changed from a milky white solid back to a golden yellow liquid.
Pour the alkaline water after secondary sedimentation into lard, add a little salt ground into powder, stir until the mixture becomes a white, sticky paste, then put it into bamboo tubes to harden and set.
As Lu Liufeng and Mu Ling pressed the potato starch, they curiously looked in the direction of the female protagonist.
Soap? Something like a pod? Can it remove dirt?
It was unheard of, so magical it seemed like something from another world.
Even though Lu Liufeng and Mu Ling were slow to realize things, they did sense something was amiss.
But no one would be foolish enough to point it out.
Jiang Xi filled three bamboo tubes.
She had just finished setting it up when a commotion erupted outside the door.
The voices of orcs drifted over from afar, filled with praise and envy for their prowess.
Mu Ling twitched her nose slightly and exchanged a glance with Lu Liufeng.
There was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
When the gaze shifted further out, Yi Yuexi was seen carrying a sheep as she walked into the courtyard.
Outside the courtyard, there were a number of envious beastmen of all sizes.
Jiang Xi's beastmen hunted quite a few prey for two consecutive days, which made them extremely envious.
After they returned yesterday, they all told the female master about the Rehe Valley incident.
The chieftain's female lord also mobilized the females of the tribe today to set off for the Jehol Valley to gather food.
But very few females went; most of them didn't believe that Jiang Xi could find anything edible.
They would only think that Jiang Xi was playing them for fools.
Only females can harvest in the Jehol Valley; if the females don't go, the male beastmen have no choice.
In winter, the snow is thick, and the prey hides away. They went into the mountains for several days in a row, but didn't catch anything decent.
If this continues, we'll probably go hungry.
Jiang Xi went to greet her in surprise.
Yi Yuexi was still in a sorry state, with withered branches stuck in her beautiful long hair, and her animal skin clothes were covered with scratches, including some that had been torn open.
It's clear they went through a tough chase.
Mu Ling's tone was somewhat complicated.
"You went to the cliff?"
The cliff is an extremely steep precipice with an unfathomable bottom; once you fall in, there is no chance of survival.
Lu Liufeng pursed his lips, his expression becoming somewhat serious.
"Yi Yuexi, you're taking too much of a risk."
Jiang Xi didn't know the situation at the cliff, but from the changes in Lu Liufeng and Mu Ling's expressions, she vaguely guessed the danger of the place.
Seeing Yi Yuexi's beautiful face darken, Jiang Xi worried that they would start arguing, so she quickly spoke up.
"You're so amazing!"
Yi Yuexi was stunned, and the anger that had just risen to the surface simply vanished.
He gave a soft hum.
"I told you, I won't take advantage of you for nothing."
After saying that, he raised his chin two zhang high and went towards the icy river behind the courtyard.
Go and deal with this sheep.
He chased him for two days, nearly falling off the cliff several times, before finally catching him.
Although Yi Yuexi didn't help at all yesterday, she listened attentively to everything everyone said.
He had just stepped out of the backyard when he turned back and shouted loudly.
"Mu Ling! Burn some wood ash for me!"
Turns out, intestines and tripe can taste really good!
The taste he experienced in the kitchen last night still lingered in his mouth.
How can there be such delicious food in the world?!
Mu Ling in the kitchen: "..."
They've even started ordering him around?
Lu Liufeng said, "Go help. I'll take care of the potato noodles; they'll be done soon."
He knew that Yi Yuexi was just like that; although she had become arrogant and haughty due to being praised by others, she was not a bad person at heart.
They are all beastly husbands who share the same female master; there's no need to make the relationship too strained.
and……
Lu Liufeng's amber eyes flickered as he looked at the female master.
Previously, the female master's favorite was Yi Yuexi.
I just don't know if she still likes Yi Yuexi that much now.
Jiang Xi, on the other hand, had nothing but food on her mind.
She cheered.
"Let's have mutton offal soup today!"
