When Long Yao heard that the meat was going to be stinky, he was startled, raised his head, and bared his teeth with a fierce look on his face.

He looked again and saw that it was Hu Jiaojiao who was going to make the meat stinky. He immediately changed his expression to a cute and obedient one, tilted his head, and blinked at Hu Jiaojiao harmlessly.

It seemed to say: I will eat whatever meat my mother makes it into, I am not picky!

Knowing that the kids must have misunderstood, Hu Jiaojiao explained with a smile, "Meat will not stink, smoked meat can be preserved for a long time, mother does this to make the meat last longer."

Hearing Hu Jiaojiao's words, Long Ling'er immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mother, how long is a long time? Can it be ten days?" Long Ling'er asked curiously, "If it can be ten days, we can hold on until Daddy brings back the prey, and we won't have to go hungry."

In autumn, the meat will rot after ten days, and in summer, even insects will grow.

Long Mo...

Hu Jiaojiao's smile froze, and she suddenly thought that she couldn't let Hou Xiaotiao help deliver the prey in the future, so she had to meet Long Mo in person to get the prey.

When she thought about meeting the evil and bloodthirsty villain in the book, Hu Jiaojiao felt a little scared.

In order to regain the villain's favor, she must not let him live in the forest anymore, and he had to live in the tribe.

She likes cute babies, and can accept getting along with these half-grown kids, but she doesn't like Long Mo. Letting him live back is like living with a strange man.

Hu Jiaojiao just feels overwhelmed.

"Ling'er, how can meat not go bad in ten days? She is just fooling you, and you believe it." Long Zhong suddenly splashed cold water behind her, interrupting Hu Jiaojiao's thoughts.

Hu Jiaojiao replied softly, "Of course it's more than ten days. The meat is smoked and can be stored for several months."

"Wow! Then can't it be stored until winter? We can have meat to eat in winter?" Long Ling'er's eyes suddenly widened, her face full of excitement.

"That's right." Hu Jiaojiao nodded with a smile.

For the kids, not being hungry is the happiest thing.

Except for Long Yao who was confused, the other three kids were all shocked.

Meat can be stored for so long! No one in the tribe has ever heard of this method, how did she know?

Hu Jiaojiao didn't give them a chance to ask more questions. She put a meal for each person and cut three roasted greasy deer legs into six portions, one of which was boneless and cut into slices for Long Yao.

The aroma filled their noses, and the kids forgot their doubts and stared at Hu Jiaojiao's actions.

Hu Jiaojiao arranged the food and extinguished the small fire on the stove. She turned around and saw several cubs sitting upright, five pairs of dark eyes staring at her.

"What are you all standing there for? Can you be full just by looking at it?"

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Long Yao sniffed and held it in! Mother didn't say that you can eat it, so you can't eat it.

Long Ling'er couldn't help licking her lips and said obediently, "Mom, eat first."

Although the other three cubs didn't say anything, they tacitly agreed with Long Ling'er's words.

Hu Jiaojiao knew that they were not so kind as to wait for her to eat. They must be afraid that she would be angry if they ate first, so she walked over, sat on the ground facing the cubs outside, and picked up her own meal.

"Okay, then mother and the cubs will eat together."

There were no tables or chairs, so they could only eat on the floor.

When the cubs saw Foxy Jiaojiao start eating, they also held their bowls and started eating with big mouthfuls.

After dinner, Foxy Jiaojiao went to the river to wash the dishes as usual, and also washed the dirty beast skin skirt that she had changed today.

After cleaning up the yard in the moonlight, when they entered the house, the cubs curled up on their straw beds, but did not run out of the yard like last time.

After a tiring day, Foxy Jiaojiao was very tired, so she went back to her straw bed and prepared to sleep.

As soon as she closed her eyes, Foxy Jiaojiao felt something moving in her arms. When she opened her eyes, she saw a little black dragon arching her hand.

As if sensing her gaze, the little black dragon paused, then quickly coiled up, found a suitable position, closed his eyes and went to sleep.

He did it all in one go.

He was afraid that Hu Jiaojiao would react and chase him away.

Hu Jiaojiao was a little stunned. The cubs always hated and feared her, but Yao'er actually took the initiative to sleep with her. Did this mean that Yao'er accepted her?

She was delighted, and gently held Long Yao in her arms, patting him gently to coax him to sleep. He

had a good night's sleep.

The next morning, Hu Jiaojiao got up, prepared breakfast, and unloaded half a venison from the meat rack.

As soon as the cubs woke up, they smelled the aroma of food, and they all got up from their beds, made their beds, and went out.

Foxy Jiaojiao was just thinking of cutting the venison into smaller pieces. Half a deer weighed about 70 to 80 kilograms, and it was too strenuous for her to carry it. She divided it into two pieces and found a long stick to use as a shoulder pole to carry it, which would save a lot of effort.

Seeing the cubs coming out, she smiled and invited them to eat.

"Are you all up? Come and have breakfast."

Hearing that there was food, Long Yao flew over happily and circled around Foxy Jiaojiao's head.

The four cubs all looked at the venison on the ground, with a hint of vigilance on their faces.

Feeling the gazes of the cubs, Foxy smiled and explained, "Last time, those animal skins were too hard to wear after being tanned by mother. Mother plans to take the meat to the old bull head to exchange for some animal skins to make animal skin clothes for you."

The old bull head is the best beastman in the tribe in tanning animal skins, and beastmen often take their prey to exchange for animal skins.

She thought that there was no shortage of meat at home, so she simply took the meat to exchange for a few animal skins and change new clothes for the cubs.

After the clothes are made, she will wash and dress the cubs well and slowly raise them. It won't be long before they become some cute, soft, chubby little cute cubs.

"Mother, we have animal skins to wear, so we don't need new ones. Can you save the meat for us to eat..." Long Ling'er looked at the large piece of meat on the ground with some distress.

Knowing that Long Ling'er was reluctant to part with the meat, Hu Jiaojiao walked up to her, touched her head lovingly, and comforted her softly.

"Don't worry, mother won't let you go hungry. You have meat to eat and animal skins to wear."

The children didn't say anything.

Knowing their worries, Hu Jiaojiao said, "Mom will go out with the picking team in the future, so there will be food to eat in winter, so you don't have to worry about having nothing to eat."

A trace of suspicion flashed in the dark eyes of the cubs.

Picking team? Will she go out to work to support them?

Is there anything wrong with their ears?

After that, Hu Jiaojiao said no more and served the cooked porridge to the cubs.

Because Long Yao was very thin yesterday, she didn't dare to let the cubs eat too greasy food, so she still cooked porridge and added some meat and vegetables to the porridge so that the cubs would have a balanced nutrition.

Then she took out six big sweet potatoes from the space, stuffed them into the stove, covered them with the charcoal fire that was still emitting sparks, and covered them with a layer of ash, and gave them to the cubs as snacks later.

The cubs were reluctant to waste food, and the six of them shared a pot of porridge neatly.

After dinner, Fox Jiaojiao told the cubs to stay at home and then she carried the venison, which was divided into two pieces, on a homemade shoulder pole and staggered out.

The book said that the old bull head lived in the north of the tribe.

Fox Jiaojiao walked to the north.
