The next day, they started cooking wild vegetables with bones, along with some noodles. They saved the meat and other ingredients, and the rest of the day, Lone Fox and the others went out to hunt.
Under these circumstances, Gu Yue also began to go and collect materials, and Chang Ning would sometimes go with Gu Yue.
There's no need to hide anything from the family. Xiuxiu naturally hopes that Guyue is doing well, and Changning goes with Guyue to collect things.
Everything that was brought back could be stored, and under these circumstances, Gu Yue became happy, as spring turned to winter.
Before winter arrived, Haitang invited her father and others to dinner, including not only Shi Hu but also Shi Shui and others. Haitang prepared a lot of food for the day.
The pig that followed was slaughtered and most of it was roasted. In addition to the pig, there were also some vegetables, roasted corn, and so on.
Shi Hu and the others enjoyed their meal. The claypot rice with preserved meat was so delicious that the orcs ate two pots.
Fortunately, Haitang knew from the beginning that orcs ate a lot, so she prepared enough this time. Haitang also made a pot of soup with ginseng slices for several females to drink, including Xiuxiu and Xiaocao.
Haitang actually wanted to improve the females' physical condition. The reason why females couldn't transform into beasts was mostly because their physical condition was too poor. If their physical condition was changed, it should be possible to change the possibility of them being unable to transform into beasts.
Of course, this was still a practice. After eating, everyone went back. Xiaocao hugged her little beastman and looked at Ping An standing not far away when she went back. She turned her head away and did not look at the child.
Shi Ming smiled as he looked at Ping An, ruffled Ping An's hair, gave her some snacks, and then left with his wife.
Xiao Ping'an looked at the dried sweet potato in his hand, took a bite, and then suddenly saw Haitang tidying up not far away. He put the dried sweet potato in his pocket and went to help Haitang with her work.
Strengthening relationships is a necessity for gatherings. At least thanks to Haitang's efforts, the relationship between Shi Hu and his brothers has become better and better, and they will stand together to solve problems when necessary.
Life in the tribe improved, and people started inviting each other to eat, though it was rare... Orcs had huge appetites, and not just anyone would dare to invite them.
As the weather gradually gets colder, the vegetable garden at home has been harvested, and there's no rush to plant crabapple trees. Instead, we've started cleaning up the medicinal herb garden, which has been enclosed in a large greenhouse made of bamboo and other materials.
The temperature inside is nice, and the herbs are growing well. I'm happy to see this. Herbs are very important in some ways, but they're really not important when they're useless.
The tribe is preparing for winter, so all the places where people go out are closed off by the tribe members. The doors will only be opened when the orcs go out.
Winter wasn't too cold because there was no snow, so Haitang and the others could go out. When Haitang was out, she would teach Guyue medical skills, and Guyue learned them quite well. However, Haitang noticed that Guyue had lost a lot of weight.
"You've lost a lot of weight. Have you not been eating enough these days?" Haitang asked Guyue, who shook her head.
"No, I'm eating very well." Gu Yue didn't eat too much. Usually she was about 70% full, but now she was only half full. Winter supplies were scarce, so she was saving as much as possible.
There were too many people in the family. The fox tribe had quite a few people, and it was entirely possible for a half-grown boy to eat his father out of house and home. Gu Yue had no choice but to go on a diet.
Haitang glanced at Guyue and knew that Guyue hadn't told her the truth, but she didn't press the issue further. Instead, she shook her head helplessly and then taught her about the medicinal herbs.
They would go to the other side of the pond, where there was more and more silt. Haitang thought that next spring, they could raise fish and grow lotus roots.
When Haitang looked into the distance, she noticed that the water temperature had dropped significantly, and there were many river mussels not far from the shore. Although the weather was cold, it was still possible for the orcs to go down.
The next day, Haitang told Guyue about it. "River clams? Can we eat them?" Guyue asked, and Haitang nodded.
“Of course you can eat them, they taste delicious. I can take you there,” Haitang said. Hearing this, Guyue nodded and followed Haitang. Haitang led the people to catch a few river clams on the shore.
"You can let the orcs touch it, that way there will be more meat at home," Haitang told the other person about how to prepare the river clams.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yue nodded. That night, she and her brother lit torches to catch river clams. There were plenty of clams, and they managed to catch quite a few to take back.
There was enough for everyone to eat for one or two meals. Gu Yue was very happy and cooked the river clam meat the next day. Everyone in the family was very happy with the meal, but it was a little regrettable that she could only go with her brothers at night.
Gu Yue wanted to go alone, but the water was too cold, and she would get cramps if she went down alone, which would be counterproductive. To be honest, Hai Tang couldn't offer Gu Yue much help.
Haitang told Guyue how to handle the fish and clams in the river, and Guyue learned very well. As a result, Guyue's house started to have more fish, both small and big, which were cleaned and hung next to the fire.
When Haitang went to see Guyue, she found that the room smelled very fishy, and the kitchen smelled even worse. Guyue's family had a lot of fish, and no matter how well they were prepared, there was still a fishy smell. "Teacher, you've come."
"Yes, I have some yarn at home, so I brought it to you," Haitang said. Looking at the fish, she thought that Guyue was good at managing money; at least she was trying to make sure her family was doing well.
"I heard that I was given a big compliment. How could I possibly accept that?" Gu Yue said, blushing. She felt ashamed because she hadn't given her teacher a gift, but instead, her teacher had given her a lot of help.
