Wolf Qi chuckled and rubbed his hands together as he asked:
"Is there anything else you need help with? I can do other things too, even work, as long as you trade me fruit or food..."
He stared longingly at the meat behind Su Tang.
Although he could catch prey every day, most of it was for wolf Nini and her cubs, and he could only eat until he was half full.
Besides, this work is much easier than hunting.
If polishing stones could earn him food, why would he bother hunting?
Su Tang naturally noticed his gaze.
She thought about it and realized that they were building a toilet tomorrow, and they were short of a squat toilet. She didn't want to use the kind of dry toilets on farms, where in the summer, when she took off her pants, she would see maggots all over the ground. That image was a nightmare from her childhood.
Now that a toilet has been built, a bathroom should be built as well. Although no one will peep at her when she takes a bath here, the river water is too cold, and she has never taken a proper bath before.
We also need to arrange for a bathtub and the like.
“Sure, I have two more things that I don’t know if you can make for me, but I can only trade you fruit for them.” Su Tang had told him this in advance.
She has plenty of fruit; you can exchange fruit for meat, but not meat.
"Sure, sure." Wolf Qi nodded repeatedly. Fruit is fine too!
Seeing that he agreed, Su Tang told him her requirements for a bathtub and a squat toilet.
Wolf Qi understood the bathtub, but he didn't understand what a squat toilet was, and he couldn't imagine it either!
"What does that thing you're talking about look like?" Lang Qi scratched his head, looking completely confused.
Where did this female come up with these strange things?
Seeing that he didn't understand, Su Tang pondered for a moment, then turned and went to the bucket.
"Wait a moment."
He left a message, then scooped up some water with a ladle, poured it on the ground, wet the soil, mixed it into mud, and quickly molded it into a squat toilet model.
She handed it to Lang Qi and said:
"This is what it looks like. Can you make it?"
Wolf Qi took it, glanced at it, nodded, and gave it a look of assurance:
"Sure, of course, I'll take care of it. How many fruits will you bring in exchange?"
He couldn't stop talking about fruit.
"Eight fruits in exchange for four stone tools."
Bath tubs are large items, and squat toilets are quite delicate and difficult to make, so Su Tang ordered two of each, one for men and one for women, so they would be easier to clean later.
The quantity was not bad, and Langqi was very satisfied. He arranged to have the goods delivered again the next evening, and then left with the apples, completely content.
For Lang Qi, getting fruit by polishing a few large stones, and fruit with magical effects at that, was like getting a great deal.
Su Tang also had her own plans.
Anyway, the stone tools were going to be made sooner or later. Although the females knew that the fruit had special effects, they were only guessing. If they really exchanged them, it would be confirmed.
She gave it to Lang Qi, not because of Lang Nini.
Knowing Wolf Qi as she did, she knew that Wolf Qi would never be so generous as to give away the fruit. Only Wolf Qi's family had ever eaten it. She could find a reason to take the blame and say that they had misunderstood, and no one would be able to expose her.
The group naturally had no objections to Su Tang's decision.
After seeing Lang Qi off, Su Jianyuan started a fire.
Lin Xia originally planned to make barbecue, but now that she had a pot, she immediately changed her mind and asked Su Jianyuan, a laborer, to build another stone stove and set up the pot.
The stone stove is the kind used for banquets in the countryside in the past. It is made by piling bricks into a circle, leaving an opening to add firewood, controlling the heat, and then placing the round pot on top.
There were no bricks here, and the stones were uneven. Su Jianyuan managed to build a crooked structure that barely managed to stay upright.
Lin Xia even gave him a good scolding.
"I work so hard and I still get criticized. It's outrageous. Am I even their biological child?" Su Jianyuan felt extremely wronged. He was doing the most dangerous and hardest work, and he still got disliked.
The family naturally didn't have time to pay attention to him.
Some were washing pots, some were cutting meat, and some were steaming eggs.
After a long day of hard work, isn't this the time we've been waiting for—dinner?
With two large pots, Su Tang planned to use one pot specifically for cooking and the other for boiling water, or for tasks that don't involve oil or water, such as boiling corn or steaming eggs.
There's no dish soap or anything here, and the meat in the pot is oily, so it's hard to wash it clean. She can't bring herself to boil water to wash herself.
Although she is not fussy, she still tries her best to maintain good hygiene when conditions permit.
In those ancient times, if you got a gynecological disease, you were doomed and would suffer terribly.
As for cooking, Lin Xia certainly didn't let Su Tang get involved.
Six ears of corn were cooked in one pot, and the remaining ear was cut into pieces and used to stew lamb chops. One lamb carcass made a full pot.
We cut off four lamb legs, added two deer legs, and roasted them like yesterday's rabbit. One leg for each person, which was perfectly fair.
Xiao Fu was drooling, and seeing his mother's expression, he thought this was the last meat he would ever eat.
He had never eaten so much meat in his entire life!
The more he thought about it, the more grateful he felt. It was all thanks to his older sister for pushing their mother and the others off the cliff that they were able to enjoy their good life today. He believed that the credit should go to his older sister!
"Dinner's ready..."
At Lin Xia's call, the five of them immediately sat around the stone pot.
The mutton soup and roasted lamb leg took a while to cook, so the group ate corn while waiting for the meat to be ready.
The water in the pot of boiled corn was still boiling. Lin Xia put out the fire and used a wooden stick to poke the corn cobs into their bottoms one by one, then distributed them to the group.
The aroma of freshly cooked corn is invigorating, carrying the unique sweet scent of corn.
Su Tang was already starving, so she didn't care about the heat. She held the stick in one hand and used her fingernail to press against the other end with the other, and couldn't wait to take a bite.
The corn grown on the farm is plump, juicy, and sweet—it tastes absolutely amazing.
Once Su Tang took a bite, she couldn't stop.
Su Jianyuan praised it highly, "Sister, this corn is so delicious, the best corn I've ever eaten..."
Su Shiwei didn't say anything, but kept eating, letting her actions speak for themselves.
Xiao Fu stared intently at the mutton soup in the pot, constantly pursing his lips and swallowing, eagerly awaiting the meat.
It was a little strange to see that the group was eating with great relish.
He had eaten a raw corn earlier, and although it tasted good, it wasn't quite to the point of praising it highly. Why did his older sister and brother eat it so deliciously?
Is there anything different about boiled corn?
Xiao Fu took a bite with suspicion, and a sweetness completely different from raw corn swept over his taste buds, instantly winning over his stomach.
"!!"
This is so delicious!
Xiao Fu took a few more bites, her cheeks puffed out, and couldn't help but speak up:
"Sister, this corn is so sweet and delicious..."
He learned that cooked fruit can taste better!
Su Tang looked at Xiao Fu, whose eyes were practically sparkling with excitement, and seemed to understand something.
It turns out this little wolf cub likes sweets.
