Traveling through the world of beasts: Controlling the system and building infrastructure

The orcs didn't have enough food to begin with, and now that I'm here, there's one more mouth to feed. I only took one bite of the palm-sized piece of meat, and it would be a waste if I didn't eat it.

After thinking for a while, An Ruochu said to Zhuoya who was eating with relish: "Zhuoya, is there anything that can cut the meat into smaller pieces? Something sharper, like a knife?" Not sure if there were any knives in the Beast World, An Ruochu could only express to Zhuoya what he wanted through gestures and introductions.

"Yes! Sister Li Yu has a bone knife. I'll borrow it for you." Zhuo Ya quickly swallowed the last bite of meat.

An Ruochu watched her talking to another gentle female, and then brought back something.

"for you."

Taking the bone knife borrowed from Zhuoya, An Ruochu gently scraped off the burnt parts and cut the palm-sized meat into smaller pieces. Then he took a smaller branch and pierced it. The bone knife was not very sharp and An Ruochu had a hard time cutting. Although the pieces were smaller than the original pieces, each piece was still the size of an adult's thumb. In this way, the original string of meat was strung into ten strings by An Ruochu.

Zhuoya didn't understand why An Ruchu cut the meat into such small pieces. One bite was not even enough to fill the gaps between teeth.

An Ruochu pretended to take the salt stone from her clothes. She was a little scared when she took it out, after all, her dog system was so unreliable. Fortunately, she was safe. She scraped it with a bone knife and sprinkled some salt powder on the skewers.

Then he kept turning the skewers of meat next to the fire to prevent them from getting burnt.

Zhuoya also helped her turn the skewers, and soon the skewers gave off a fragrant aroma.

An Ruochu saw that it was almost done, blew on it, and couldn't wait to take a bite. Although there was no chili powder or cumin, just some salt, it was probably because it was pure natural free-range meat, so it tasted very delicious.

An Ruochu quickly ate three skewers to appease her stomach. She couldn't finish the remaining skewers, so she gave them all to Zhuoya.

"An An, your skewers are so delicious." Zhuo Ya's cheeks were bulging from eating so much that she looked like a little hamster.

"Is it because of the white powder that was just sprinkled?"

"Yes, but not completely. The meat you ate before was not cooked. It was only half-cooked. The surface was mushy and bitter. It was not marinated. It didn't taste good. Mine was not marinated, but at least it was roasted."

"An An, what does pickling mean?" Zhuo Ya asked curiously.

"Well, it's just to process the meat with some seasonings, and then it will make the meat taste better." An Ruochu explained to Zhuoya as best as possible.

"Then what is seasoning?" Zhuo Ya felt that there were a lot of strange words coming out of An Ruchu's mouth that she couldn't understand.

"Yes, it's salt." An Ruochu took out the palm-sized salt stone again.

"Zhuoya, what are you eating? It smells so good!" Li Yu was busy when she suddenly smelled a very fragrant barbecue. Following the smell, she saw An Ruochu and Zhuoya.

"This is the skewers of meat grilled by An An, they are super delicious! Sister Li Yu, please try it!" Zhuo Ya handed over the skewers of meat in her hand.

Li Yu tasted it and her eyes lit up immediately. This barbecue is different from what I make myself. It's delicious!

"An An, how did you make this? It's much more delicious than mine!" Li Yu asked impatiently while chewing the meat.

She and several sisters are responsible for the food of the entire tribe. If it can help everyone eat better, she would naturally be willing to do so.

"Just cut the meat into smaller pieces, turn it over more often to avoid it from burning, and sprinkle some salt on it." An Ruochu gestured to Li Yu with the salt stone in his hand.

"I'll go try. By the way, An An, did you bring the salt stone from your original tribe?"

"It should be. It has been in my clothes the whole time." An Ruochu lied without changing her expression.

"Ah, then I don't know where to find it again." Li Yu sighed.

"I'll give you some. I'll keep some." After thinking for a while, An Ruochu divided the salt stone into two pieces, one large and one small. He stuffed the large piece into Li Yu's arms.

Li Yu looked at her in shock. Was such a precious thing just given to her in half so easily?

"Don't you have to cook later? With this you can also try the method I just mentioned!" An Ruchu blinked.

"Yes! I will definitely try my best to let everyone eat such delicious meat." Li Yu was deeply moved. She had never seen salt stone, but something that could make food delicious must be very precious, but An Ruochu gave her such a big piece.

Zhuo Ya handed the uneaten skewers in her hand to Li Yu and asked her to let other females have a taste.

After eating, An Ruchu suggested going back to see how Xiaofeng was doing.

When they arrived at Xiaofeng's cave, Zhuoya said to An Ruochu: "An'an, I'll come to see you tomorrow. Thank you for taking care of my brother! I'm leaving now."

"Huh? Aren't you his sister? Don't you live here?" An Ruochu was confused for a moment and couldn't understand why Zhuoya wanted to leave.

"Of course I don't live here. My brother has grown up and lives alone. I live with other cubs without parents and Granny Sen."

"Huh? Where are Zhuoya's parents? Why does she live with them?" As soon as An Ruchu finished speaking, she wanted to slap herself. What did this broken mouth say!

Sure enough, Zhuoya's bright eyes dimmed.

"My father died while resisting a tide of beasts when he was very young, and my mother was kidnapped by people from other tribes. Later I lived with my brother. After he grew up, my brother tried to find my mother, but she had new cubs, and we were abandoned." Zhuoya's voice was a little choked.

"I'm sorry, Zhuoya, I didn't know. Don't be sad." An Ruchu wiped Zhuoya's tears helplessly.

"It doesn't matter. I'm living a good life now. My brother is the most powerful warrior in the tribe! As long as I have my brother, it's enough." Zhuo Ya shook her head, signaling An Ruchu not to blame herself.

"Okay, I'm going to help Granny Sen take care of the kids. Granny Sen can't handle it alone. I'll come to see you tomorrow!" Zhuoya ran away.

An Ruochu looked at her from behind, feeling uneasy. She thought Xiaofeng and Zhuoya lived together. But now Zhuoya didn't live with Xiaofeng, so wouldn't that mean they were the only ones left tonight?

Although Xiaofeng is a patient, she has never lived with a man she didn't know. She is just a college student who has just started her internship on Blue Star. She is busy every day. Not to mention living with a man, she has never even been in a relationship!

An Ruochu stood at the door and constantly prepared herself mentally. Finally, she gritted her teeth and thought, this is a job she has taken on, and the person who saved her life is her own life, so why should she be afraid!

With his head raised and chest puffed out, An Ruchu stepped into Xiaofeng's cave with a fearless attitude.
