"Of course, it tastes much better than barbecue. You guys cut the bamboo, I'll catch the fruit. We'll eat here and then go back."
Upon hearing this, everyone instantly became excited; this was like an extra treat!
Dazhu looked at the tiny insect and was also eager to try it. They always ate large wild animals or small wild animals, such as rabbits and pheasants.
But I've never eaten any insects before, and I don't know what they taste like.
"Alright, we've cut enough, now let's catch some together!"
Tu An was still a little worried, after all, You Ran was a pregnant female: "Then don't go too far, and be careful when you catch her."
Don't worry!
That worry is unnecessary; she's an expert at catching these things.
As he spoke, he bent down and three more fell into his hands. He skillfully broke off their front legs and threw them into the animal skin bag.
This large bamboo forest is currently in the season when bamboo insects are most active, and since no orcs have come to catch them, there are many of them here.
After wandering around for a while, the animal skin bag was already half full.
By the time they finished cutting the bamboo, her bag was already overflowing.
"Dazhu, Tuan, find an open space to start a fire, and while you're at it, whittle some bamboo skewers."
Dazhu was a little puzzled: "What are bamboo skewers?"
Mu Youran forgot that they had never seen bamboo skewers before: "They're just thin bamboo sticks, you just need to sharpen one end. We'll use them to skewer these insects later."
Hearing her say that, Dazhu and the other males understood. Some started a fire, while others shaved bamboo skewers. Soon, a fire was burning in an open bamboo grove.
Mu Youran immediately put the animal skin bag on the ground, picked up the sharpened bamboo skewer, and pierced the insect's belly directly.
The bamboo skewers they made were very long, with twenty skewers easily strung on one skewer.
After watching You Ran do it once, the females, including Tu An, learned how to do it and started skewering the food with bamboo sticks.
The last big bag of bamboo worms was gone after ten skewers; one skewer wasn't enough for everyone.
Dazhu stood up: "Let's go catch some more."
Mu Youran had no objection; this skewer was indeed not enough for her.
He placed the strung-up items on a clean pile of bamboo, then grabbed a leather bag: "Let's go, let's go, let's grab some more."
Of all of them, only You Ran had a pocket, but they had their own way of doing things.
No bag? No problem. Just grab one and skewer it on a bamboo stick.
The males have thick skin and are not afraid of being bitten; they can catch a single one with ease.
But Tu'an and her friends weren't so lucky. Looking at the dense swarm of insects and their huge front legs, they were a little scared. By the time they slowly reached out their hands, the insects had all flown away!
Mu Youran was amused by their frightened expressions.
"You have to be quick and ruthless to catch this. Once you see it, just strike. Even if it bites you, it won't hurt."
As she spoke, she demonstrated, grabbing three at once: "Squeeze them a little tighter, and they won't be able to move. If they can't move, they can't bite you."
"Then just break off the leg."
Tu An was quite surprised to see You Ran's skillful way of catching insects.
In their eyes, You Ran is the clan chief's wife, who eats well, dresses well, and has a very capable partner.
Even the incredibly capable Wen'e, who just arrived, likes her.
Logically speaking, a female who is showered with love and affection should be pampered and spoiled, like the runaway Sang Ju, speaking in a high-pitched, affected voice and panting with every step she takes.
Unexpectedly, she could catch insects with her bare hands and make such beautiful bamboo mats.
No wonder the clan leaders like her so much. Such a capable female is attractive not only to the males but also to the females themselves.
