Wente shook his head, "I don't understand what the Beast God is thinking."
Shu Yue kissed him comfortingly, "It's okay, I'll figure it out later. My Tete is so smart, can we go to bed now?"
Wen Te: “…” coax him again!
"No, I want to do it."
...Well, I can’t sleep tonight.

The couple's exercise lasted until dawn. Shu Yue yawned while washing her face. She had to grind flour today and couldn't take a nap.
After an orc finished exercising, he might feel guilty and make breakfast with extra care.
Lei Te and Shu Xin came earlier than usual. Seeing that they were already up, they were just a little surprised and had dinner together.
Lei Te and Shu Xin stayed at home to grind flour, while Shu Yue and Wen Te went out to arrange work for the tribesmen.
The open space in the square is the largest, with forty or fifty stone mills placed here. Three males are assigned to each stone mill, one to put corn kernels in, one to push the mill, and the other to load flour.
Some females sat around a pile of fish skins. Their task was to cut the skins into appropriate sizes, poke small holes in them, and make simple sieves.
Used to sift cornmeal, put the sifted cornmeal into animal skin bags, and leave the coarse particles for further grinding.
There are a limited number of stone mills, so only two or three hundred orcs are left in the tribe. The other orcs go to pick mushrooms. They keep the amount of mushrooms they pick for the day and dry the rest.
The tribe is very lively today. Everyone has something to do and can chat while working. The atmosphere is very good.
The cubs ran around, sometimes going to the millstone to watch the orcs turning the millstone, sometimes running to the mushroom drying area to make trouble, laughing and looking very busy.
Adult orcs can't do anything to them.
It’s useless to have flour without knowing how to cook. Shu Yue’s task is to teach everyone how to cook with corn flour.
When the first bag of flour was ground out in the morning, she took it and used it. She poured half a bag of flour into a large wooden basin, about 20 to 30 kilograms, added water and mixed the flour, and then put it in the sun to dry.
Since there is no baking powder, we can only use another old method, which I discussed with Shuxin last night.
In ancient times, there was no baking powder, so people used old dough to make dough. The method of making old dough was to knead the dough and put it in the sun for a day.
It will become old dough after drying. When you want to steam buns, just grab a piece of it, dilute it with water, and mix it with new flour to make the dough rise. However, it will take longer than baking powder.
There is strength in numbers. By noon, the animal skin bags filled with cornmeal had piled up into a small hill. The old flour was also ready, and the next step was to knead the dough.
There were many people in the tribe, so they prepared five large wooden basins and poured a bag of flour into each of them. Each animal skin bag contained about 50 kilograms of flour.
Shu Yue directed Wen Te to knead the dough, and the other four who were kneading the dough were also orcs.
There is too much flour and I am afraid the females cannot move it. There are so many people in the tribe and if we rely solely on the females to knead the flour, we won’t be able to eat it before dark.
But the females also have things to do, such as chopping meat and cutting fat.
Hu Sha led a dozen females to refine oil. It could be used to fry meat patties and make buns, but there was no pot for steaming, so they could only wait for an opportunity in the future.
After the dough is kneaded until smooth, cover it with a piece of breathable animal skin and let it rise in the sun.
Shu Yue kept walking among the busy crowd, answering a hundred thousand questions from time to time.
"Shu Yue, do you think it's okay for me to chop it like this?" A young female chopped the meat into small cubes. She thought it was small enough and looked at her eagerly for praise.
Shu Yue's mouth twitched, "No, the meat filling needs to be chopped finely."
