The weather has gotten much warmer, and there are more fish in the river now.
Su Jianyuan tricked Xiao Fu into rubbing his back while he went to the river to catch fish.
He actually caught two big ones, bighead carp, each weighing over 20 pounds, and longer than Xiao Fu's leg when he lifted them up.
Xiao Fu was extremely excited the whole way.
In the past, when they had no food, he would go down into the river to catch fish to fill their stomachs.
However, back then we only caught small fish, about the size of a palm, mostly tiny fry, not even enough for a single bite.
This was the first time he had ever seen such a big fish!
Su Tang and Lin Xia were equally happy.
"Such a bighead carp, we're in for a treat tonight!" Lin Xia said with a smile as she accepted the fish.
Su Jianyuan had already prepared the fish by the river. He gutted them, tied their mouths together with straw rope, cleaned their swim bladders and other parts, and brought them back wrapped in leaves.
This stuff tastes pretty good too.
Not long after, Su Guodong and the other two returned.
All three were drenched in sweat. They had finished drinking the bucket of water they had brought over. After drinking some water at the water vat, they took clean animal skin clothes and went to the river to bathe.
When the three of them returned from their showers, Su Tang had already helped Lin Xia prepare dinner.
A pot of fish head and tofu soup, with two large fish heads chopped into smaller pieces and some fish chunks added, almost filled an earthenware pot.
I lit two stoves today; the other pot was braised pig's trotters with soybeans.
All four large pig trotters were used, which was quite substantial.
The fire brought the two pots of soup to a boil, and the bubbling sound, along with the rich aroma of meat, filled the air.
Sprinkle some crushed white stones on top, and the aroma seems to have a certain penetrating power, almost drawing Xiao Fu's soul out of his body.
They no longer needed a table; the whole family sat around the pot, each holding a large earthenware bowl, eating with satisfied expressions.
"Mom, the fish is so delicious!" Xiao Fu exclaimed.
The fish soup with Shiraishi was incredibly delicious, better than any food he had ever eaten.
And that white tofu, so smooth and soft, it slid right down into his stomach; he almost ate his tongue off.
"Eat more if you like it." Lin Xia smiled broadly upon hearing Xiao Fu's praise of her cooking skills.
Soon, all that could be heard around the fire was the slurping sound of a family eating.
The slurping sound is made by the cubs.
Now that the cubs can eat meat, Su Tang filled a bowl with meat and put it on the ground for them to eat on their own.
The five cubs were also eating with great relish, their fluffy little heads huddled together, looking very focused.
The evening breeze carried the fragrance to the gray wolf tribe.
The gray wolf beastmen, returning from the hunt, sniffed intently, their faces filled with envy.
"Where is this fragrance coming from? It smells amazing!"
"Didn't our tribe's fire go out long ago? This must be the smell of cooked food. Who got the fire?"
"It seems to have come from outside the tribe."
"How is that possible? Aren't there only Ah Tang's family of orcs outside the tribe? Do they have fire?"
"It smells so good! If I could have just one bite, I'd do anything for him!"
A group of orcs unknowingly gathered at the entrance of the tribe, discussing amongst themselves.
His face was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Wolfman came out attracted by the fragrance, and upon hearing the beastmen's words, his face contorted with a vicious expression of jealousy.
It's Ah Tang again!
How could that lowly female possibly possess the fire?
She can still eat such delicious food. She has taken so much prey from Lang Kui. Shouldn't she be starving and unable to survive now?
The Su family was completely unaware of the sensation caused by the Gray Wolf tribe.
After enjoying a delicious "feast," the whole family was extremely satisfied.
Su Jianyuan rubbed his stomach and let out a burp. "If I could have a bowl of fragrant white rice, it would be perfect."
He glanced at Xiao Fu and Da Qing as they walked away, then turned to Su Tang and asked, "Sis, when will your farm be able to grow rice?"
"How can you plant without seeds? You need seeds first." Su Tang also really missed the taste of rice, but the farm's online store didn't have any rice seeds for sale yet.
Su Jianyuan looked regretful and didn't ask any more questions.
After eating and drinking their fill, the family felt sleepy and went to bed after washing up.
the next day.
The first thing Su Tang did upon waking up was to go to the farm to pick crops.
In just over a week, the little treasury had accumulated more than five thousand gold coins.
I've used up a lot of resources during this period, so I haven't saved up many coins, but it's still enough to unlock the fourth plot of land.
Su Tang clicked "unlock" without hesitation.
A flash of white light appeared, and the green fourth plot of land turned brownish-yellow, and the wooden sign was moved to the fifth plot of land.
"Unlock the fifth plot of land: Gold Coins, and the warehouse contains ten kinds of crop fruits."
This is outrageous!
She only has five kinds of fruit now, where is she going to conjure up ten more?
Su Tang went to the mall again, and two more crop seeds appeared on the shelves that had been shrouded in shadow.
"Chili pepper, price: 2000 gold coins."
"Baby bok choy, price: 2000 gold coins."
The price of seeds has doubled since the last time.
Su Tang was already used to it and wasn't surprised. She glanced at her little treasury and saw that she still had 325 gold coins.
I can't afford it, I'm outta here!
My mom and second brother both love spicy food, and she hasn't eaten vegetables in a long time. Every meal is meat, and it's mostly pure meat. Now she even has some difficulty going to the toilet.
The thought of having new food made Su Tang even more motivated to farm.
After finishing planting, Su Tang came out of the farm and then went to shovel manure.
The five kittens produced quite a lot of poop; if you didn't clean it for a day, even with cat litter, you couldn't cover up the smell.
I had the roasted sweet potato from last night for breakfast. I just need to reheat it this morning.
The leftover fish from yesterday has been hung up by Lin Xia to dry into dried fish, to be used as a reserve food.
Su Tang cracked three wild eggs, made a steamed egg dish, and cut five pieces of fish into slices and grilled them, giving each cat a slice as a snack to chew on.
We won't give them sweet potatoes anymore.
Last time I ate too much, and while she was sleeping I farted next to her face, and it almost made her faint from the smell.
After eating and drinking their fill, Su Shiwei and the other two went to build a wooden house.
Xiao Fu followed Su Jianyuan hunting with a look of excitement. He had been so bored these past few days and was just waiting for his second brother to come back and show off his skills!
Lin Xia does everything – spinning thread, making shoes and clothes, twisting hemp rope – she is an indispensable all-rounder in this family.
Five kittens are playing a hunting game on the lawn.
Su Tang also has a new task today: she needs to find Wolf Nini to inquire where she can find new crops.
Otherwise, given the farm's track record, I'm afraid I'll never be able to unlock the fifth plot of land in my lifetime.
After explaining to Lin Xia, Su Tang went to the Gray Wolf Tribe.
As soon as Su Tang entered the tribe, she noticed that the gray wolf beastmen who passed by were looking at her with strange eyes.
It's like watching monkeys.
Su Tang frowned. What's going on?
