Shen Miao was also a little angry when she saw his actions.
She kindly treated the other person as a guest, but the other person showed her no respect at all, and her face immediately darkened.
The Ice Tiger Clan orcs were oblivious, perhaps because they had always been arrogant. They didn't pay any attention to Shen Miao's expression and muttered to themselves, "What kind of disgusting food is this? They even serve it to people. What a poor and stingy tribe."
He got angrier and angrier as he cursed, and with a flick of his hand, he knocked all the food on the table to the ground.
The babies screamed in fright.
Shen Miao pulled them aside, said a few words of comfort, and let them go inside first. Then she glared at the Ice Tiger Clan orcs and said, "Were the Ice Tiger Clan's mad dogs not properly leashed and escaped?"
Now that things have come to this, she no longer cares about the deal. If it doesn't work out, so be it; she absolutely cannot swallow this insult.
The Ice Tiger orc stared wide-eyed, incredulous, and said, "Are you insulting me?"
"Yes, that's right. I should be glad you're not deaf," Shen Miao said, arms crossed, her tone full of sarcasm.
The Ice Tiger Clan orc pointed at her, trembling with anger: "You, you rude female beast! Not only do you fail to entertain your guests properly, but you also insult them! This is simply outrageous!"
Shen Miao slammed her hands down, saying in a sinister tone, "I'm not only going to insult you, I'm going to beat you up. Do you want to try?"
The Ice Tiger Clan orc retorted defiantly, "You dare to hit me? A mere female beast dares to be so arrogant? Where do you get the audacity to hit me? Do you believe I'll...?"
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly fell silent, looking at Shen Miao in horror.
Shen Miao lifted a stone bench with one hand. The bench was estimated to weigh around fifty pounds. She lifted it with one hand and slammed it down heavily in front of the Ice Tiger Clan beastman, creating a large crater.
"So, what do you want to say?"
The Ice Tiger Clan orc swallowed hard, retreating in horror, muttering, "Insane! A female beast with that kind of strength? She must be crazy."
Shen Miao grabbed his goods and threw them out one by one: "Get out of here! If I see you again, I'll beat you up every time! Get out!"
"You, you're insane, you've gone mad!" The Ice Tiger Clan orc scrambled to gather his goods and fled in disarray.
The orcs in the tribe quickly learned that Shen Miao had driven away the Ice Tiger Clan orcs who came to trade. They gathered together and mocked Shen Miao, believing that she had driven away a big customer and that no one would come to trade with her in the future.
Shen Miao didn't care about these words. Her beast crystals wouldn't get moldy, so she wasn't worried about not being able to sell them. Even if she really couldn't sell them, she could keep them for other purposes.
...
The long winter finally ended, the earth began to recover, spring warmed the land, flowers bloomed, rivers thawed, and the dormant tribes suddenly came alive.
Shen Miao took the children out again.
She made her own net and headed straight for the river.
After eating meat all winter, I wanted to change things up and try fish.
The little ones were very happy, chattering excitedly about catching lots of fish and eating them slowly.
As the rivers thaw and spring waters rise, fish that have been dormant all winter emerge. You can see them with the naked eye; the river is teeming with fish heads, and a single net can catch quite a few.
Orcs don't like to eat fish because they think the bones will hurt them, and besides, fish has a strong fishy smell and doesn't taste as good as wild animals that roam the mountains.
Shen Miao caught a lot of fish and was overjoyed.
The children found it very interesting and wanted to try it themselves. Shen Miao taught them how to catch fish and let them play by themselves, while she lit a fire and started grilling the fish.
She smeared a lot of sauce on the fish, and soon the aroma wafted out.
The children stopped playing and rushed over to eat the fish. Shen Miao smiled and said, "One for each of you. There's no need to rush. Eat slowly and spit out the fish bones."
The aroma of grilled fish wafted far and wide, attracting beastmen from near and far who were searching for it. When they saw that it was Shen Miao grilling fish with her cubs, they watched silently for a while before leaving.
Some of the more sarcastic orcs said sourly, "This is the only time we can eat grilled fish. Once the deadline is over, forget about grilled fish, the whole family will be kicked out."
Green Pearl followed the scent and came over. When she saw it was Shen Miao and the others, her expression changed, she turned around and left, spitting on the ground as she did so.
"Ugh, how disgusting! They're so unhygienic, spitting everywhere! How awful!" Erbao shouted.
Under Shen Miao's guidance, the children were all very hygienic and would not spit on the ground, so they were immediately disgusted by Green Pearl's uncivilized behavior.
Green Pearl hadn't gone far when she heard this and angrily turned around to glare at them, cursing, "Keep being arrogant, anyway, you don't have much time left to jump around, so cherish this last moment."
Erbao, hands on his hips, retorted, "You're the one who's only at the last minute. My mother already had a plan. Humph, I'll make you furious!"
Green Pearl didn't believe it at all, scoffed, and swayed away with her slender waist.
Shen Miao didn't even need to lift a finger; she took care of Green Pearl directly.
She rewarded Erbao with a small yellow croaker, and Erbao's eyes narrowed with joy.
The children were all envious. Although they also needed a small yellow croaker, it was a reward from their mother, so it had a different meaning.
The whole family was very satisfied with the grilled fish. Shen Miao put a fish in the supermarket and brought two more back for Jiu Ying.
To avoid giving the tribe any leverage, Jiuying avoided going to the tribe whenever possible.
Jiu Ying ate the fish that Shen Miao brought back with great relish, constantly praising Shen Miao's excellent cooking skills.
Qingchen was very upset that he didn't get the grilled fish.
Shen Miao was prepared and made him fish soup. The cooked fish soup was milky white, fragrant, and incredibly sweet. After Qingchen finished drinking it, he didn't say anything more.
Another piece of good news happened when Shen Miao went hunting in the mountains. She was overjoyed to discover a tea plantation. Since coming to this world, she had never drunk tea, and the people here did not drink tea at all. Therefore, this tea plantation was basically ignored.
This season is the best time for spring tea, so Shen Miao immediately picked a large basketful, took it home, roasted it, and brewed it for her family.
The little ones complained that it was bitter and refused to drink it. Even Jiuying stayed far away. Shen Miao was puzzled. This spring tea was obviously very fragrant, and she had only picked the buds.
Unconvinced, Shen Miao brewed another bowl of medicine to persuade Qing Chen, but Qing Chen's reaction was even more exaggerated: "If you want to poison me, you don't have to be so obvious."
The famous poisoning theory has resurfaced.
Exhausted, Shen Miao smiled gently and asked, "Are you going to drink it or not?"
"No." Qingchen was resolute.
Shen Miao's smile gradually turned sinister. She pressed down on him and forced the liquid into his mouth: "You have to drink it, you have to drink it."
Qingchen: This wicked female beast has gone too far!
