When Su Yuan had caught enough fish, Yu Huan would meet her with the rabbit he had hunted, and they would go home together.
This continued for several days, and the number of rabbits, fish, and pheasants in the cave increased dramatically.
Su Yuan cleaned the internal organs of fish and pheasant, marinated them with salt and spices, and planned to air-dry or sun-dry them so that they could be preserved for a long time.
Nothing went wrong during the process.
The only reason why the numbers don't match is probably because the little tiger couldn't help himself and would steal two fish and pull off a rabbit's hind legs.
Su Yuan found that the rabbit was inexplicably missing a leg and looked extremely miserable, so he squinted his eyes to look at Yu Huan.
She had just filled her stomach and burped lazily when she met Su Yuan's eyes.
"You, you, you won't eat even when I tell you to. You just like to eat secretly."
Su Yuan took the opportunity to criticize and educate the little tiger to poke his forehead, and then wondered why no one had ever said that touching the tail was a form of criticism since ancient times?
The little tiger didn't realize that she was saying one thing and thinking another, and he didn't know that she not only wanted to touch the tiger's head but also wanted to touch its tail.
She felt that she was the one who was wrong, and rubbed Su Yuan twice guiltily.
The crowned tiger tribe's behavior of stockpiling large amounts of food could not escape the eyes of many nearby people, and their abnormal behavior more or less caused them some panic.
Fu Shuang was invited by various tribes to perform sacrifices and divination, and she also vaguely revealed something.
Then all the tribes knew that a great disaster was coming.
After the shock wore off, they also learned to store food like the crowned tigers. Unfortunately, they didn't master the drying technique, so the stored meat soon rotted and became inedible.
The Black Wolf leader invited Fushuang again, offering her a large amount of food and shells with a respectful attitude, hoping to learn from Fushuang how the Crowned Tiger Tribe preserved meat.
This time, Fu Shuang, who always welcomed visitors, raised an eyebrow and refused to accept the gift. He told them meaningfully, "For such an important matter, we have to trouble the leader to ask."
"This..." A look of embarrassment appeared on the leader's face.
Although the tribes coexist here, their relations are not good, and friction often occurs. The Black Wolf Tribe is not subservient to anyone and is particularly adept at fighting with other tribes. Their hostile tribes include brown bears, goats, and elephants...
Asking the Black Wolf leader to seek advice from the Crowned Tiger would be the same as bowing to the other party.
The Black Wolf leader hesitated, but the other tribes were not as aggressive and concerned about face as he was. They were all very obedient and lined up with gifts to meet the Crowned Tiger King.
The air-drying technique was taught to them by Su Yuan. The Tiger King did not make the decision on his own, nor did he directly tell Su Yuan about his skills - he was afraid that the orcs would have bad intentions and cause Su Yuan to encounter something unexpected.
The Tiger King used the excuse of discussing with tribal members to delay time and sent someone to ask Su Yuan.
Su Yuan didn't think this method was that precious, as they would develop it sooner or later. He was just grateful for the Tiger King's kindness.
However, it would be a pity to miss this opportunity to make a fortune.
Teaching is possible, but at Su Yuan's suggestion, the Tiger King collected a tuition fee from each tribe that came to learn. At this time of year, the prey was at their peak strength and fat, so catching a few chickens and rabbits wasn't that difficult.
But no one noticed that the food reserves in the crowned tiger tribe had become more abundant.
The Black Wolf leader hesitated for a long time, and the hostile tribes had already asked about the method of storing meat and returned.
He finally couldn't sit still any longer, so he took the wolves to the goat tribe, held down the struggling goat leader, and asked for the secret method.
"I told you there would be another way." Black Wolf snorted, stood up triumphantly, and shouted to his brothers to go back.

When I'm busy, the days seem shorter than usual. Autumn arrives in the blink of an eye.
The wild fruits in the forest grew well, so Yu Huan followed Su Yuan to pick them. In addition to the wild fruits, there were also pine nuts and chestnuts, all of which were edible.
Every trip would bring them a lot of gains. If there wasn't a crisis waiting for them, Su Yuan would have fallen in love with this kind of life.
She sorted the food into different categories and only kept the wild fruits that could not be kept for long.
The fruits are red and green, with a rough skin. They are crispy and sweet when you bite them, but it's a pity that they cannot be stored for long.
"It would be nice if there was honey." Su Yuan muttered as he ate. "It would be great to make some candied fruit."
Unexpectedly, the little tiger heard it in his heart. When he slept at night, he smacked his lips and mumbled in his sleep: "Honey."
It was late at night, the moon was bright and clear. Han Yue's golden eyes were unusually clear as he stared at his sister without blinking.
On the second day, the brown bear, who had just dug out a beehive and was stung by bees but still couldn't control his mouth, suffered a disaster. His honey was snatched away by a strong and agile crowned tiger.
When the little tiger was rolling around under the tree, Han Yue came over with honey in his mouth.
Before Yu Huan noticed her, the other party had already changed into human form and broke off a piece of honey to feed his sister.
The little tiger opened her mouth with her eyes still closed, not afraid at all that Han Yue would feed her something bad.
It felt sweet and soft. She opened her eyes suddenly with a look of joy.
Like honey, really honey.
Han Yue laughed at his sister's naivety. When he was about to feed her another piece, the little tiger grabbed the honey and ran towards Su Yuan.
"Here comes the honey. The honey you requested."
The wind blew his sister's voice to Han Yue's ears, and the smile on his face faded little by little.
Yu Huan lay on the edge of the pottery jar, watching Su Yuan put the wild fruit in. He lost his energy again, lying on his back, mumbling: "When can we eat it?"
