"Is it really for me?"
Hou Xiang was a little bit unbelievable.
In the past, I only knew that Foxy was domineering and unreasonable, but when I met her today, I didn’t expect that she was not like the rumors at all. Not only is she gentle and kind, she speaks in an organized manner and is so generous!
She immediately felt that those rumors must have been made up by other beasts who were jealous of Fox Jiaojiao.
If anyone says anything bad about Hu Jiaojiao again, she will get angry with them!
"Yeah, it's for you." Hu Jiaojiao nodded with amusement.
This Hou Xiang's personality is really inconsistent with her image of a fat face. Her cautious expression and round face make her quite cute.
Hou Xiang took the bowl with both hands as if she had found some treasure, "Hu Jiaojiao, you are so nice."
As he said that, he couldn't help but reach out, pick up a piece of braised beef and put it into his mouth.
For a moment, Hou Xiang squinted his eyes in enjoyment, and the taste was so delicious that his voice was trembling.
"Mmm... so delicious! This is the most delicious meat I have ever eaten, Fox Jiaojiao, you are so amazing!"
Hou Xiang instantly transformed into a little fangirl of Hu Jiaojiao, looking at her with eyes full of admiration.
Fox smiled and said, "As long as you like it."
Hou Xiang nodded vigorously, "I like it! I like it so much. This is the first time in my life that I have eaten such delicious meat. Can you really teach me how to cook it?"
The orcs in the tribe were so busy hiding their goodies that she had never seen anyone so generous.
It’s just teaching Houxiang how to cook, it’s not a big deal.
Hu Jiaojiao didn't think twice and nodded with a smile, "Sure, as long as you are willing."
Hou Xiang jumped up in excitement, but the fat on his body fell down heavily before it even left the ground, making Hou Xiang look like a ball of fat.
Fox Jiaojiao: "..."
Suddenly I felt that I shouldn't have agreed so readily.
She is already so fat. If she continues to eat more, her health will become unhealthy.
Houxiang ate two more pieces of venison and didn’t dare to eat any more. She wanted to take the meat back for her baby.
Seeing Hu Jiaojiao staring at her, she smiled sheepishly and explained, "You think I'm fat too, right? I gained this weight when I was pregnant with the cub. I thought I would lose weight after giving birth, but I got fatter and fatter. There's nothing I can do about it."
"You don't know, before I became a couple with Hou Xiaotiao, I was quite thin..."
She smiled awkwardly and patted the fat on her body jokingly, but her expression was a little melancholy.
There is no female who doesn't like to look beautiful.
Hu Jiaojiao remembered that when Hou Xiang was described in the book, she was portrayed as a fat woman. She knew that she would gain weight after giving birth, but she didn't expect that she would gain so much weight.
Seeing that Hou Xiang was a little unhappy, she smiled and comforted him, "It's okay, being chubby also looks good. If you want to lose weight, I can make lighter food for you, and you won't gain weight after eating it."
Diet meals, she had done it before.
It was rare for her to meet a female friend she got along with in the animal world.
Hou Xiang thought that Hu Jiaojiao was just comforting her and didn't take it seriously, "Thank you, Hu Jiaojiao."
Ever since she gained weight, the orcs in the tribe no longer like her, and she only has Hou Xiaotiao as her partner. If it weren't for the fact that males cannot abandon their partners, Hou Xiaotiao would probably dislike her.
It was the first time she heard Hu Jiaojiao's gentle words, and she was deeply moved.
Hou Xiang said goodbye and left, but Hu Jiaojiao kept the incident in mind.
Next time you cook, make a diet meal as well.
After the cubs finished their dinner, Hu Jiaojiao took out the sweet potatoes from the stove and gave one to each cub.
Long Linger opened her almond-shaped eyes with a curious look on her face, "Mom, is this roasted earth fruit? It smells so good! It seems to have a different aroma from the earth fruit I ate before..."
Before peeling the sweet potato skin, the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes has already permeated the air.
Hu Jiaojiao explained in a gentle voice, "This is not a native fruit, it is a fruit that is similar to a native fruit, called sweet potato."
Orcs call the fruits of all plants fruits.
The earth fruit that Long Linger mentioned is potatoes. Due to the lack of food in winter, some orcs discovered that potatoes can be stored for a long time. So the orcs in the tribe went out to dig potatoes in the autumn, and ate potatoes to survive the winter when winter came.
The males are responsible for hunting, while the females join the picking teams, specializing in digging potatoes and picking wild fruits.
Long Linger nodded her little head and quickly concluded, "Sweet potatoes are more fragrant than earth fruits!"
Hu Jiaojiao stretched out her finger and tapped her forehead lightly, "Eat quickly, mother will go wash the dishes and fetch water to wash your feet, then go to bed early."
Long Linger let out a howl, her eyes curved into crescent shapes, and she nodded happily.
Long Yu, Long Xiu and Long Zhong were all curious about where the sweet potatoes came from, but no one asked.
The reason is simple: the cubs are too smart, and he is afraid that if he asks more questions, he will make Fox Jiaojiao angry, so he won’t give them food in the future.
Besides, the vicious female hated them before. Not only did she not give them food, she also would not tell them the types of food. They just thought that all the orcs in the tribe had eaten it, so they didn't think much about it.
The kids went back to the house to rest.
Hu Jiaojiao came to the river with the pots and pans. With the help of the moonlight, she saw that there was no one in the yard. She thought about it and came into the space.
The newly unlocked shelves in the space confirmed Hu Jiaojiao's guess.
Sure enough, as long as you gain the favorability of the orcs, you can unlock new shelves, not just a few cubs, but also the favorability of other orcs.
Thinking of this, Hu Jiaojiao became excited.
She walked to the newest shelf and found some crop seeds on the shelf. What was different from before was that each seed had an introduction, and the planting time and precautions were also marked on it.
God is helping me!
She was just worrying about how to find seeds when she left the forest, and then the seeds appeared. This space was like a worm in her stomach!
Hu Jiaojiao remembered that the first time the tribe was attacked by other orcs was in winter. Due to lack of food, they went out hunting and attracted other orcs. In order to get food, they burned, killed and looted in the tribe.
Although she cannot directly give supplies to the orcs in the tribe, she can teach them how to grow potatoes!
There are twenty-four months in a year in the Beast World, and each quarter has six months. Now it is autumn, and there are at least three or four months left before winter, so it is enough to plant a round of potatoes.
As long as the orcs in the tribe have enough potatoes to fill their stomachs and do not go out to look for prey in winter, they will not be discovered by other orcs and will not attract danger.
After coming out of the space, Hu Jiao quickly washed the pots and bowls and returned to the wooden house.
She boiled some hot water in a clean pot and washed the feet of the kids one by one. She also filled a basin with hot water for herself, soothed her feet which were about to be blistered, and then went to bed.
Hu Jiaojiao didn't sleep well on the hard mat made of hay.
The next day, Hu Jiaojiao got up at dawn.
She planned to expand the yard and build a simple wooden house before Long Mo came back. Otherwise, if she squeezed another person into this wooden house, it would become uninhabitable.
By the way, I'll reclaim two more fields and plant some crops to avoid arousing the suspicion of the cubs.
