Chapter 130 Gaining Two Dining Companions
After Diexu left, Yuanyuan and Jingru came over skipping and jumping.
Yuanyuan took Xia Yueke's arm, with a warm smile on her face, and said:
"Yue Ke, let's go to the hunting restaurant to eat together later! You definitely don't know how to do it since it's your first time, so we'll take you there!"
Jingru nodded repeatedly, her eyes full of friendliness.
Xia Yueke nodded happily. She gently brushed away the non-existent dust on the stone bench, then gracefully gestured for the two to sit down before asking.
"What delicious food will the cafeteria make today?"
She tilted her head, her eyes sparkling.
After all, coming to this new and strange school for cubs, she was curious about everything, especially the food. She didn't know whether the food here was delicious or not!
"They're all grown near Beast City! Hmm... I think they're really delicious. The millet is steamed. I could eat three stone bowls of it every day!"
As Yuanyuan spoke, she exaggeratedly gestured the size of the stone bowl with her hands. She looked very excited and seemed to like the food there very much.
When Xia Yuke heard this, she knew that this should be the rice she was familiar with.
The worry in my heart about the unknown food disappeared without a trace, and a bright smile appeared on my face.
"Let's go, let's go now. I can't wait to try it."
As she spoke, she stood up and walked briskly towards the hunting restaurant. Her pigtails fluttered in the wind behind her. Yuanyuan and Jingru smiled at each other and hurriedly followed her.
The three of them arrived at the hunting hall, and a unique aroma mixed with the fragrance of grains and the aroma of roasted meat hit them in the face.
The interior of the cafeteria is spacious, with huge stone tables and stone benches placed in an orderly manner. Some animal bone decorations are hung on the surrounding walls, highlighting the rugged style of the animal world.
Xia Yueke looked around curiously and saw several long queues at the food pick-up area.
Some windows are filled with steaming rice, each grain is plump and golden in color.
The large plate next to it was filled with sliced roast meat, the gravy was still sizzling and exuding an attractive luster.
There are also some fruits and vegetables that I can’t name, but they are colorful.
Yuanyuan excitedly pulled Xia Yueke along, chattering about various foods:
"Yue Ke, this steamed rice paired with the secret sauce in that jar is absolutely amazing. And this barbecued meat is the venison we just hunted today. It's especially tender."
Jingru carefully found clean stone bowls and bone tableware for Xia Yueke.
Xia Yueke followed the team slowly forward. When it was her turn, she imitated Yuanyuan and filled a bowl with steamed grains, and also picked up a few pieces of grilled meat and some fruits and vegetables.
As she sat down and started eating, suddenly, a familiar green came into view.
She picked up the bunch of vegetables in surprise, and it turned out to be coriander!
Xia Yueke widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief:
"There's cilantro here! I love cilantro, and I thought there wasn't any here!"
She couldn't wait to put the coriander into her mouth. The unique fragrance instantly exploded among her taste buds. The familiar taste made her feel a strong sense of intimacy and joy.
Yuanyuan and Jingru looked at her surprised expression, feeling a little confused. It was obvious that they didn't quite understand why Xia Yueke was so excited about this extremely common plant in the animal world.
Xia Yueke gently put the coriander with a unique fragrance into her mouth. The moment her tongue touched the leaves, the familiar fragrance spread out. She said intoxicatedly:
"Where did this come from? How did you find out it's edible?"
Yuanyuan was a little confused by this sudden question. She subconsciously raised her hand to scratch her head, trying hard to recall what she had said.
"These are all grown in the fields outside of Beast City. I'm not sure where they came from, I just know they've always been there. And it's not called cilantro, it's called something like... stinky vegetables? It's been called that for as long as I can remember, and I don't know why."
When Xia Yueke heard the name "stinky vegetables", the corners of his mouth twitched violently, and an expression of being neither amused nor helpless appeared on his face.
She thought to herself, this must have been brought by the Holy Lady, but how come it became a "stinky dish" as it was passed around?
The smell of coriander is so fresh and pleasant, and its fragrance is rich. It is really puzzling why it is labeled as "stinky".
She shook her head helplessly, picked up another handful of coriander and put it in her mouth, as if she wanted to use her actions to prove the deliciousness and unique aroma of the coriander, and try to justify its reputation.
After finishing the meal, Xia Yueke, Yuanyuan and Jingru left the hunting restaurant.
The warm sunshine poured down on this orc world. In the open space outside the cafeteria, other orc cubs were basking in the sun comfortably.
Here, the time after meal is rest time, and the cubs can enjoy a moment of laziness.
Xia Yuke looked around curiously and found that the three classes seemed small, with only fifty or sixty cubs in total.
Among them, there are very few female cubs, only a dozen or so, while male cubs make up the majority.
She had heard that several tribes near the Beast City would send their cubs here.
This is because tribal life is full of dangers and challenges. In order to allow the cubs to grow better and learn various survival skills, each tribe chooses to gather them here.
Here, the cubs can not only get relatively safe shelter, but also learn and help each other in collective life.
Moreover, high hopes are often placed on male cubs; they need to grow into powerful hunters and shoulder the responsibility of protecting the tribe.
The female cubs learn more skills such as gathering and weaving.
Therefore, it is not surprising that there are more male cubs in this group of cubs.
While Xia Yueke was thinking, she found a comfortable corner to sit down with Yuanyuan and Jingru, ready to enjoy this rare rest time.
After the rest, Xia Yueke began to prepare for the first class in the afternoon.
This class is taught by the Young Wizard, and the course content is about how to awaken abilities, which is crucial for every orc cub.
Xia Yueke and the other cubs came to the center of a vast courtyard in the school.
There is a circular stone platform here with complex array patterns engraved on it. This is where the orc cubs usually practice basic animal power, and it is also an exclusive place for practicing their abilities.
The orc cubs looked at the stone platform, their eyes full of excitement.
Especially the male cubs, they are eager to awaken their powerful abilities as soon as possible and become respected warriors in the tribe.
However, in addition to their excitement, there was also a hint of fear in their eyes.
Xia Yueke asked Yuanyuan and the others and found out that this great wizard not only had unfathomable strength, but also had an unpredictable temper.
