While Long Mo was preparing the beef sauce, Hu Jiaojiao started preparing the next pot.
The two of them took turns, and soon they had made several large pots, pouring a total of thirty jars into the pot. Even if they gave half of it to their parents, it would be enough for them to eat this winter.
There was still some left in the pot, so Hu Jiaojiao scooped it out in a bowl and prepared to give it to the cubs to taste during dinner.
Who knew that when I turned around, I saw a thin tail like a black rope hidden outside the kitchen door, swaying from time to time, revealing a small triangle at the end of the tail.
Fox Jiaojiao: "..."
She said something was missing today.
It turned out that Long Yao did not come to eat and hid at the door.
Maybe because Long Mo was here today, the little guy didn't dare to come in and ask for food.
Hu Jiaojiao used a small plate to scoop out a few spoonfuls and brought them to Long Yao at the door. As soon as she walked out, she saw the little guy hiding outside the door, squatting with his eyes covered, muttering non-stop:
"I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry... I don't feel like eating at all..."
Then it becomes, "But my mouth really wants to eat duck..."
He was drooling as he spoke, and it seemed he was trying hard to restrain himself.
Hu Jiaojiao couldn't help laughing, "Yao'er, what are you doing squatting here?"
Long Yao suddenly stood up like a spring, feeling guilty.
When he turned around and saw that it was Hu Jiaojiao, holding the fragrant beef sauce in her hand, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the self-hypnosis just now was long thrown out of the window.
"Come here and smell it..." Although she was still restraining herself, her body had already moved closer, standing on tiptoe and trying hard to get closer to Hu Jiaojiao's hand.
"Try it. You can't eat the rest until dinner time." Hu Jiaojiao smiled and handed the small plate to Long Yao.
"Thank you, mother!"
Long Yao ran away happily with the small plate. Since Long Mo was around, he wanted to go to another place to enjoy the food.
Orcs have a sense of territory. When there is a stronger orc in an area, other orcs will bring food and keep a distance from the stronger orc before eating.
In some ways, the instincts of beasts and beastmen are similar.
The family of seven can now eat at the same table, all because of Hu Jiaojiao's habit.
At dinner, the five kids praised the beef sauce highly.
Long Mo maintained his usual cold and aloof expression and ate his meal slowly.
In fact, I was not very experienced in using chopsticks. I kept a tense face the whole time, picking up the small pieces of beef carefully and seriously.
At night, the two of them lay in the same bed.
Hu Jiaojiao tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. When she couldn't fall asleep, she would try to change into various comfortable sleeping positions, but she was afraid of disturbing Long Mo who was beside her, so she moved as quietly as possible.
Little did he know that even the slightest movement would be infinitely magnified in Long Mo's ears.
Long Mo's deep eyes darkened, and he stretched out his long arms to hold the little female who was turning over and over into his arms.
"Can't sleep?"
"Sleep, sleep well."
Feeling the scorching heat on her back, Hu Jiaojiao dared not move at all and quickly answered.
Long Mo's arms were filled with strength and wildness, imprisoning her so that she could not move.
Lying together with Long Mo when she was sober was completely different from the feeling when she was drunk. She seemed to be able to smell the scent of his male hormones.
Hu Jiaojiao closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. She was still in pain and was afraid that Long Mo would go berserk again.
I don’t know if it was the effect of self-hypnosis or if I felt safer lying in Long Mo’s arms, but I fell asleep without realizing it.
In comparison, Long Mo is not so happy.
The even breathing sound coming from his chest was like a kitten scratching someone, plucking his heartstrings. He could only suppress the impulse of his body, but he was reluctant to let go of the little female in his arms, and fell asleep with difficulty.
The next day.
When Hu Jiaojiao woke up, Long Mo was no longer on the bed.
There was still some warmth left on one side of the bed, indicating that Long Mo had not been away for long.
"Why did I sleep so soundly that I didn't even notice that Long Mo got up." Hu Jiaojiao patted her cheek to wake herself up and muttered softly.
When she went downstairs, she found that Long Mo had not gone out hunting yet and was tidying up the yard in the backyard.
"I'm going to my parents' house today. My father and brother are also going to build a stone house. I'll bring some beef sauce with me."
Hu Jiaojiao told Long Mo about today's arrangements.
There is still a month left. The orcs in the tribe started building stone houses for the females yesterday, so she has to help her mother finish the stone house as soon as possible.
Hu Qiang and Hu Min only planned to build a stone house for two orcs to live in. The four brothers Hu Qingshan would live in a cave with other males without partners in the winter, and then build their own stone house when they had enough time next year.
The stone house is small, so the construction period is much shorter. There is plenty of time and there is no need to ask other orcs for help.
"Okay, I'll go with you." Long Mo nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Aren't you going hunting today?" Hu Jiaojiao showed a surprised expression when she heard Long Mo's words.
"I'll send you there first, and then go hunting." Long Mo had already arranged the itinerary properly.
He glanced at the twelve stone jars filled with beef sauce that Hu Jiaojiao had picked out yesterday but had not put into the warehouse. "There are so many things, you can't take them all. I'll help you deliver them."
How could she, a female, lift such a heavy object
Hu Jiaojiao opened her mouth and wanted to say that she made a small cart out of wood that could easily push all these things over.
The words came to his lips, but he swallowed them down with a gulp. Then he nodded and agreed:
"good."
After breakfast, Long Mo twisted vines into ropes, tied the stone jars together, and went out with Hu Jiaojiao carrying them easily.
When the two arrived at Hu Min's house, the couple had just finished eating.
"Jiaojiao, why are you here?" Seeing Hu Jiaojiao coming, Hu Min went out to greet her in surprise.
"I'm here to help you build your stone house. Everyone is building a stone house, so you should hurry up and finish building my own stone house too."
As soon as Hu Jiaojiao saw Hu Min, she felt close to her and became intimate with her unconsciously, her tone soft and coquettish.
"Why do we need your help in building a stone house?" Hu Min raised her eyebrows immediately, "Just ask your father and brother to ask Hou Xiaotiao to teach them."
She couldn't bear to let Jiaojiao suffer so much.
Hu Jiaojiao smiled and didn't argue with her. She looked at Long Mo behind her.
Long Mo understood her look and brought the stone jar forward.
"Mother, this is some food I made. You can save it for the winter. It's for you and your brother."
"You're here so come, why do you bring food with you?" Hu Min frowned, very dissatisfied with Hu Jiaojiao's behavior.
His tone was accusatory, but there was no anger on his face. Instead, he had a doting smile on his face.
Hu Jiaojiao didn't say anything, she just opened the can, picked up a piece of beef and handed it to Hu Min's mouth, "Mom, try it first."
Hu Min was unwilling to refuse and ate it.
As soon as she opened the jar, she smelled the fragrance. The tender and refreshing beef cubes captured her taste buds immediately.
"Delicious, how is this made?"
Hu Min's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but ask.
"The method is very simple, but the ingredients are hard to find. I will grow the ingredients next year and then teach you how to make it." Hu Jiaojiao explained.
Otherwise, you won’t be able to do it even if you know how to do it.
"Okay." Hu Min nodded with a smile.
Not only was this made by her daughter Jiaojiao, it was also a rare item that other orcs couldn't eat!
Hu Min was so happy that she no longer refused.
After a few pleasantries, Hu Qiang went to call his four brothers to come and build the stone house.
Unexpectedly, only three of the four brothers came.
"Where is fourth brother?" Hu Jiaojiao asked puzzledly. Hu Qingyuan shouldn't be diligent enough to go out hunting so early.
