If the standard of living in Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain improves, her daughter's life will be better in the future. She couldn't wait for Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain to get better and better!
Besides, she used to be just an ordinary housewife. Now that she's in the ancient continent, she can be a teacher to the orcs. What a prestigious thing that is!
"I'll draw up a list of procedures later, outlining what's involved. Bring it to me so I can see it, and then I'll teach you how to process it," Lin Xia said with great enthusiasm.
Su Tang nodded, and said that she would leave this matter to Hu Shen to handle.
If you're making dry rations, you can only make large quantities; if the quantity is small, there's no point in making them.
Meat is the main ingredient, along with some fruit. The fruit that grows near Wanshou Mountain is definitely different from that near the farm.
Having resolved one issue, Su Tang then asked Su Guodong.
"Father, are there any crops suitable for planting in the Beast Mountain? It would be even better if they were easy to store."
"Girl, you want to grow things in Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain? You've come to the right person!" Su Guodong got excited as soon as he heard this.
Su Tang nodded, looking expectant. "Are there any suitable ones?"
Su Guodong pondered for a moment, then said, "No."
"..."
Seeing everyone silent, Su Guodong smiled and broke the awkward atmosphere himself.
"Well, let me think about it. This kind of land needs to be suitable. The Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain is full of trees, or rocks and caves inhabited by orcs. It's not suitable for large-scale planting at all."
"Planting fruit trees is an option, but it will take several years to see them bear fruit."
Before Su Tang could speak, Lin Xia pinched his arm in disgust, "You always brag about how great you are, but you can't even think of anything that can be grown."
Su Guodong looked embarrassed, crossed his arms, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"Hiss... I've got it, I've thought of one."
Everyone looked at Su Guodong.
What is it?
“Mushrooms don’t need a large area of land to grow. You can dig a cave or a cellar and it will work.” Su Guodong paused as he spoke.
"The only things I can think of are fruit trees and mushrooms. As for storage, I really don't know how to do that."
Su Tang thought for a moment and realized that she seemed to have seen mushroom spores for sale in the online store yesterday.
Mushrooms don't have seeds; they reproduce through spores. She didn't know how to cultivate them, but with her father around, none of that was a problem.
Moreover, there are many kinds of mushrooms, including shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, button mushrooms, crab mushrooms, and so on, as well as wood ear and silver ear fungus, both of which are very easy to preserve.
These mushrooms are delicious, and if they could be cultivated in large quantities, even carnivorous orcs would find them acceptable.
Thinking about this, Su Tang felt that the future was promising.
"That's easy. Whether you dry the mushrooms, grind them into powder, or make them into a sauce, it's all fine," Lin Xia quickly offered a solution.
There's no ingredient in the world she can't handle.
Su Tang thinks that even if there are dinosaurs here, her mother can still make a delicious dish.
As for the source of the mushroom spores, just say that Su Jianyuan and Su Shiwei found them in the forest.
Anyway, it was common knowledge among the people of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain that the two of them often went down the mountain during the snow season.
Xiao Fu and her five children huddled together, watching the family chatting away.
Although he was already used to hearing strange things, he still felt inexplicably nervous.
I always feel like I don't belong in this family.
He suddenly realized that whenever his older sister and the others talked about these things, the other beastmen were not around.
Xiao Fu hugged Si Bao and thought for a moment, deciding that he would find an excuse to go out next time.
Anyway, whatever my older sister and the others do is right, so whether I listen to them or not doesn't seem to matter much, so I might as well not listen at all.
Sibao opened his eyes, glanced at Xiaofu who was pressing down on him, wanted to move away but thought it was too much trouble, and finally closed his eyes again to doze off without moving.
...
Outside the stone house.
Wrapped in a long, large animal skin coat, Lin Shanyue pondered for a long time before deciding to leave this place and find another place to hide.
The food here is so delicious that she's afraid she'll be caught sneaking a bite next time.
But they hadn't gone far down the mountain when orcs appeared on the other side.
Lin Shanyue is extremely sensitive to danger; otherwise, she wouldn't have survived until now.
Upon hearing that orcs were coming up, she immediately turned back and hid in the stone house again.
She had intended to peek through the crack in the door to see when the orcs outside would leave, but what she saw made her pupils constrict.
"Lin Jiang, Uncle Shi..."
Seeing the familiar figures being held by the beastmen outside, Lin Shanyue's heart sank. She covered her mouth tightly to keep herself from making a sound.
There were six of them, but unexpectedly, the other five were all captured.
Why did the beastmen bring Uncle Shi and the others here? Is this the residence of the beastmen's leader?
Yes, if it weren't for the orc chieftain, how could he live in such a nice place and eat such good food?
In her haste, Lin Shanyue tried to follow, but she suddenly went black for a moment and bumped into a table.
The corner of the table immediately made a scraping sound against the ground.
On the other side.
Just as Su Tang and the others finished their discussion, Hu Shen returned.
Niu Li and several orcs followed behind him.
"Why are you back so soon?" Su Tang greeted Hu Shen with a smile as he entered the room.
Niu Li's voice came in from behind, "A Tang, didn't you want to see the two-legged creatures? We just caught one that escaped. The King brought it back especially for you to see. He doesn't want you to go out in the wind anymore."
He chuckled, and though his words were honest, Su Tang sensed a hint of mockery.
"Two-legged creatures? What two-legged creatures?" Upon hearing this name, the entire family sat up, just like Su Tang had reacted earlier.
"Two-legged beasts are humans. They call themselves humans, but we prefer to call them two-legged beasts."
Niu Li patiently explained the origins of the two-legged creatures to everyone.
Beasts that walk upright are considered an anomaly, whether among orcs or wild beasts.
The orcs viewed it even more negatively, even grouping two-legged creatures and wild beasts together as equally weak.
Two-legged creatures almost never set foot in orc territory, and many orcs have never seen or even heard of their existence.
Niu Li was only able to recognize him because he had traveled all over the country with Hu Shen and seen a lot of things.
Lin Xia and her husband were both shocked to hear this.
They... encountered the ancestors of humankind on an ancient continent?
Under the expectant gazes of the group, Hu Shen raised his hand to signal, and Niu Li immediately ordered the orcs behind him to bring up the two-legged beast.
Five people, their hands and feet bound, were pushed into the house: four young men and one middle-aged man, all male.
These five people looked significantly different from the orcs. They were at least a head shorter than the orcs, and their thighs were not even as thick as Niu Li's arms.
It was thin and sallow, with many holes in its animal hide, even revealing its skin that was red and cracked from the cold.
It's easy to see that these people have traveled a long distance.
