Chapter 72 Return to Gathering



Actually, they looked a bit older, which is why the beastmen didn't want them. The other two had children, so they weren't considered suitable by others for the time being.

In such circumstances, a group of people lived in a thatched hut. Fortunately, it was springtime, but winter was approaching, and they felt their future was uncertain.

Haitang didn't say anything else to these people, but started breaking the sugarcane tree, and then the group dragged the huge sugarcane tree back.

The females followed behind, some wanting to ask questions but too embarrassed to. Haitang offered one of the females a piece of sugarcane. The female looked at it, took a bite, and found it sweet... she had never tasted anything so sweet before.

"This is called sugarcane. Don't swallow it, just bite it and spit out the pulp. But it won't make you hungry. When you go out in the future, you can follow the females in the village. They are all very nice and won't bully you." Haitang's words were true.

Although they weren't particularly friendly to these people, the females wouldn't bully these outsiders. Under these circumstances, those people nodded, and Haitang and the others knew this.

Many people know about this little female; she brought wheat and sweet potatoes to the village. They actually knew about the sweet potatoes; the tribe had given them some before and even taught them how to make sweet potato flour.

The problem was that they didn't know what sweet potato leaves looked like, so they had no choice but to give up. Some of them didn't dare to ask the other females and foolishly searched for them on their own.

Under these circumstances, Haitang dragged the sugarcane back. When she returned, everyone knew that Haitang had boiled sugar again. Some people would cut one down whenever they had free time and use it as a snack for their children.

The problem is... they didn't cut down many. The orcs were building city walls a few days ago, which took a lot of time, and the females couldn't bear to leave their orcs at home without work.

This is roughly the situation we can see in the village right now: females go out to gather resources, and many orcs by the river are making enemas, pickling meat, and so on.

In order to survive the winter, everyone put in a lot of hard work. Under these circumstances, the newly arrived females also began to go directly to learn how to recognize food.

At first, the females in the village frowned, but they didn't drive the person away. They would still teach the person. Of course, the females who learned from the other person would have to give some of the things they learned each day to the females who taught them. That was the rule.

Springtime rainfall isn't plentiful, but it does rain occasionally. It rained today, which made the crabapple tree very happy.

Rain means mushrooms will sprout, and we can bring them back to eat. Haitang started cooking sugarcane at home because Dongfanglong and the others braved the heavy rain to haul it back.

Taking advantage of her superior physique as a beastman, the two of them took advantage of her. Although Haitang cursed them a few times, she quickly started making sugar. In the process of making sugar, she even left some broth, which she used to make sweet cakes.

In this situation, the children were the happiest. Haitang even asked Dongfang Long and the others, "Do you want something sweet, salty, or spicy?"

"I want something sweet." Xiao He immediately came out. Xingxing and Yueyue were about the same. Xiao Lu didn't care. Dongfang Long immediately wanted something spicy. Shi Hu wanted something spicy and something salty.

Under these circumstances, Haitang nodded and began kneading the dough. Xiaolu and the others helped her. The dough was fried... and of course, there were also sweet ones made in a steamer.

Under these circumstances, Haitang immediately started making the fried cakes. The fried cakes were spicy, with peanuts and some spices. The fragrant aroma made Dongfanglong take a third of one bite.

To make fried pancakes, you mix flour and water in a certain ratio, and then use oil residue. Since there was plenty of oil at home, Haitang made a lot this time.

"Father... send them to Uncle San and Uncle Er's houses." Haitang gave ten to Shishui and ten to Shiming. These days, Shiming likes to come to Haitang to learn about herbs.

Of course, they all came at night, as few people were available during the day. Under such circumstances, Haitang gradually became closer to Shiming, while Xiuxiu visited Shishui's family more often.

It's impossible to neglect one aspect for the other. Upon hearing this, Shi Hu nodded, grabbed a huge leaf, wrapped the jar, and went out. Xiu Xiu heard a knock on the door at her house.

"Try these fried dough cakes made by Tangtang." She took out ten cakes, all wrapped up. Xiuxiu looked at them and nodded in acceptance.

Shi Hu went to see Shi Ming and brought him half a bottle of wine. When Shi Ming saw his elder brother arrive, he opened the door and saw the fried dough sticks. "These are really good to have with wine. Tangtang's cooking is excellent."

"The craftsmanship is good, but it's just too much work." If it weren't for the rain, there wouldn't be so much free time at all. Hearing this, Shi Ming nodded.

Shi Hu gave them the food and went back. When he got back, Haitang started serving them food. The fried dough was delicious, but it wasn't really a meal. Haitang used it as a dish, and the children started eating.

The sweet little cookies, as well as the spicy fried dough sticks and the savory ones, made everyone's faces glow with health. Little Lu has grown taller these days.

He looked like a young man, although he was still shorter than Dongfang Long, he was becoming more and more handsome. Under these circumstances, Xiao Lu did more and more work.

Every time they went out, they could collect more fawns than others, and they would make multiple trips back and forth with their supplies, always full of energy.

The little deer is happiest when it comes to people with enthusiasm and energy. Haitang brought food to the little deer and said with a smile, "Don't be too reserved. Look how well they're eating."

Little Deer nodded, looked around at the people, and started eating. After the Begonia family finished eating, they looked outside and said, "After this rain, there must be a lot of mushrooms."
