Transmigrating to the Beastman Continent to Live a Happy Life - Chapter 164
Wu Xiaoyin wanted to make some milk candy for today’s exchange day. More importantly, most of the various flavors he had prepared earlier had already been devoured by one big and three little cubs, leaving nearly no stock at home. Today, he also wanted to try making some sweet pies. He would use milk to kned the dough and sprinkle some candy crumbs on top. Sweet and milk-flavored pies sounded delicious!
Without hesitation, Wu Xiaoyin got busy in the kitchen. Before long, the rich aroma of milk and fresh fruits filled the room. The three little ones eagerly put pieces of cut pies into their mouths. As of now, they were unable to hold their form fully because they had just recently learned to shift into human form, so they were still in their animal forms. They couldn’t afford to get hurt!
The little cubs were clearly no match for Lei Lu’s speed. Even while feeding Xiao Xiao, Lei Lu was much faster than the three little ones. A whole pot of pie was quickly devoured. Lei Lu smacked his lips, feeling satisfied with the sweet treat after the meal.
In contrast to Lei Lu’s satisfaction, while the little ones’ bellies were full, their taste buds were not. They were constantly competing with their father for food and didn’t get to savor the sweet pies. So, they began to wail.
“Awoo awoo awoo! Awoo awoo!” Lei Dian shouted loudly and non-stop. (Dad, Lei Dian still want to eat. I’m not full yet!)
Hearing Lei Dian’s howling, Lei Lu glanced at the little one’s slightly bulging belly and the way he was sneaking in burps. He then shifted his attention to the next cub.
Sure enough, Wu You immediately picked up the cue and whined, “Woo woo woo…” (Dad, Dad, this pie you made is so delicious. Dad, I want more!)
Lei Lu thought, well, at least he’s learned to compliment his little dad for his hard work in making sweet pies. But the intention was too obvious. Poor score!
Wu Xiaoyin watched the interaction between the father and his sons and was completely puzzled. He couldn’t understand what was going on. Looking at the three little ones with their full bellies, he doubted they were still hungry. He picked up Lei Huo, who had been wandering by his side, and placed him on his lap. He patted Luo Huo’s belly to ensure everyone had eaten enough.
“Then let’s head out. It’s best to trade the sweet pies and milk candy while they’re still warm. Warm sweet pies are the best.” Wu Xiaoyin gave Lei Huo a gentle pat on the bottom to signal him to lead the way.
Thus, the family of five headed toward the exchange area at the tribe’s entrance.
By the time Wu Xiaoyin and the others arrived, the scene was already bustling with activity. In particular, a long line had formed outside their own stone house. As soon as the crowd saw them approach, their eyes lit up, as if they wanted to stick their eyeballs right onto them.
Wu Xiaoyin felt a chill run down his spine and awkwardly laughed, “You all are here so early. Are you looking to trade for orange wine today?”
Everyone nodded in unison. Xiao Kai, who was familiar with Wu Xiaoyin’s family, squeezed through the crowd. He grabbed Wu Xiaoyin’s hand as they walked toward the stone house. He said, “Xiao Xiao, it’s already quite late. We’ve been waiting for a while.”
Well, Wu Xiaoyin told himself that Xiao Kai was just straightforward, but it was still a bit surprising that he responded to his polite words.
“Of course, we’re here to trade for orange wine. But I just caught a whiff of milk and fruit, and giant rice. Could it be? Xiao Xiao, did you make something delicious again?” Xiao Kai said excitedly.
He urged, “Hurry up and let me see it. Is this also for trading?”
Lei Lu held up the basket in front of Xiao Kai. As Xiao Kai opened the lid of the ceramic food container inside, the combined aroma of milk and fruit wafted out, drawing Pu Pu, who sniffed around Lei Lu’s feet, eager to climb up but unable to due to his size!
Wu Xiaoyin smiled and said, “I’m not planning to trade these pies. You already knew that I’m only trading orange wine this year, right?”
Xiao Kai’s shoulders slumped, his nose still sniffing the enticing aroma in the air, just like Pu Pu by his feet!
Wu Xiaoyin chuckled. “Although I’m not trading these pies, I specifically brought them for you to taste.”
Xiao Kai instantly cheered. He picked up Pu Pu and gave him kisses, not caring whether Pu Pu wanted them. But judging by Pu Pu’s happy expression, he clearly enjoyed his dad’s affection!
Finally, Wu Xiaoyin and his group squeezed into the temporary stone house to start the day’s exchange. The crowd’s eyes darted between the concealed wine (not everyone had been able to trade for orange wine the previous day) and the fragrant pies on the table. They swallowed their saliva in anticipation.
In such a torture, all the orange wine quickly traded out, just as Bin, Feng, and Kola arrived late.
Wu Xiaoyin looked at the cheerful Feng, the calm Bin, and the downcast Kola, and asked, “Why are you all so late today?”
Feng replied loudly and happily, “Bin is having my little cub again!”
