Since I want to make noodle soup, I should get started. It's still early, and I don't want to stay up all night.
She had been waiting for this noodle dish for a long time!
He immediately pulled up Wen'e, who was washing his upper body with water, and said, "Wen'e, come on, let's find some stones to make something."
After washing herself thoroughly with soap, Wen'er's body wasn't so itchy anymore, so she quickly followed You Ran out to find stones.
She carefully selected from a pile of messy stones, finally choosing a relatively hard one.
“That’s it, Wen’e. First, cut it into a cylinder, then leave a small hole in the middle.”
Wen'e didn't know what she was going to do, but he did as she said and immediately conjured ice spikes to quickly cut at the irregular stone.
Countless icicles fell, quickly forming a perfect cylinder.
This was the first time Mu Youran had ever seen such a cutting method, and she couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "You're amazing!"
"They don't even need a bone knife or anything."
Wen'e smiled slightly. They only used the bone knife for delicate work. As for rough work like cutting stone, their superpowers and claws were much more useful.
It just doesn't have claws.
"Then what do we do?"
Mu Youran gestured on the stone: "Smooth this part for me, then make diagonal patterns, rotating them in one direction around the hole in the middle."
Then she picked up a small pebble from the side and started drawing the second half of a millstone on the ground.
"Now make this one. Remember, the groove on the edge must have a slope."
Wen'e understood the picture, but he was curious: "What is this?"
With a leisurely smile, he said, "It's a stone mill. We'll go back and grind some wheat into flour, then make a dumpling soup. It tastes even better than meat!"
Upon hearing that it was about cooking, Wen'e immediately became interested, as his greatest hobby now was cooking for You Ran.
He felt a sense of pride and accomplishment every time he saw You Ran finish the food he had made.
Moreover, he also wanted to try what this thing tasted like.
"Okay, I'm going to eat a big bowl of that later!"
Just thinking about that taste made Mu Youran swallow hard; she had been here for so long and rarely had any starchy foods.
She had been craving wheat for a long time.
Let's eat here just this once, so everyone can taste it!
As darkness fell, Wen'e's millstone was brought out, with countless ice balls and icicles used alternately, making the entire millstone appear exceptionally smooth and beautiful.
It's a bit small.
Mu Youran, carrying the stick, was already quite impatient: "Let's go home!"
Wen'e followed behind, carrying the millstone, in an extremely good mood.
Just as they arrived at their doorstep, Huang Yu returned from outside, looking curiously at the things in their hands.
What are you doing?
Mu Youran went up and grabbed Huang Yu's arm: "We plan to get some wheat to eat tonight, so we made a tool."
"We can grill less meat tonight!"
Upon hearing that it was for processing wheat, Huang Yu immediately became interested.
He knew about that thing; those wheat seeds were ones he and You Ran had painstakingly picked from the wild.
"Okay, I'll help too."
Back home, Mu Youran went straight to the drying yard in the backyard and squeezed the wheat, which was almost dry and quite hard.
He then squatted down to the side, grabbed a stalk of wheat and started rubbing it. The wheat was already a bit dry when it was harvested, and after an afternoon of being exposed to the sun, it was now falling apart at the slightest touch.
Soon, they had collected half a winnowing basket of wheat. Then they took out a damp linen cloth, wiped off the dust, and put it on the stone mill.
Wen'e saw her taking the wooden stick next to her and trying to put it on the millstone, so he immediately stopped her.
"I'll do it, this millstone is too heavy."
Mu Youran chuckled lightly: "You underestimate me."
As he spoke, he leaned against the wooden stick and gently pushed, and the millstone began to turn.
Wen'e and Huang Yu widened their eyes in surprise, knowing full well how much strength You Ran possessed.
This is a rock! And she actually managed to move it!
Moreover, she seemed quite relaxed.
When Mu Youran saw that the wheat in the hole was gone, she immediately said, "Hey, hey, don't just stand there, help add more wheat!"
Wen'e immediately went over and, imitating You Ran's earlier actions, filled some bamboo tubes with the contents of the stone cave.
The wheat that was originally full of grains gradually sank down as the millstone turned, and finally disappeared, turning into some white powder that emerged from the gap between the two stones!
Huang Yu was quite curious about how You Ran had pushed it, so she walked over and said, "Let me try."
After pushing the cart around a few times, she was a little tired, to be honest. After all, she rarely does housework these days, and she had been running around all day. Her feet felt like they were about to burst.
Now that Huang Yu wants to give it a try, she simply gives up her spot.
"Take it slow, don't rush it!"
Huang Yu nodded, walked to the spot where You Ran had just stood, and with a gentle push, the heavy stone on the millstone actually started to turn.
He smiled in surprise: "How come this is so effortless!"
Although he is now a high-ranking shaman and doesn't need to do many things personally, she still knows very well the weight of such a stone.
If you wanted to move it by hand, you definitely wouldn't have enough strength.
Mu Youran sat on a chair to rest, a proud smile on her face.
"This is based on the lever principle."
"What's the principle behind it?"
Wen'e and Huang Yu were puzzled when they heard this word, as they had never heard it before.
Seeing their bewildered expressions, Mu Youran realized that her explanation would be futile, so she simply gave up.
He shrugged and spread his hands: "It's like how I don't understand your superpowers. Even if I explained the principle of leverage to you, you probably still wouldn't understand."
"Anyway, the principle of leverage is that you can use the wooden stick in your hand to easily move heavy things as long as you find the right fulcrum."
When the two heard You Ran's first words, they felt somewhat uncomfortable.
But when You Ran said something next, they clearly knew she was explaining what leverage was, but they still didn't understand.
Just as You Ran said...
Even if I explain it, she might not understand, just like she doesn't understand superpowers.
Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I'll stop thinking about it to avoid adding to my troubles.
Moreover, these male orcs are inherently incredibly strong, and often they don't even need the so-called lever principle to move something.
