Transmigrating to the Beastman Continent to Live a Happy Life - Chapter 169

Wu Xiaoyin contemplated opening a small eatery to consume the excess animal meat. However, the trading items remained animal meat, herbs, animal skins, and the unique cotton from the Giant Tiger Tribe. Trading back and forth wouldn’t reduce the stock greatly.

He also considered implementing a currency system, but who would he sell to? All the tribes had plenty of animal meat. They only lacked herbs and animal skins. Wu Xiaoyin felt that he had hit a dead end and could not get out. But the thought of the other four tribes sending him animal meat, herbs, and animal skins every year starting from next year in exchange for stone house construction techniques left him feeling exhausted.

Should he increase the household size to help consume the food? It seemed like a last resort, but Wu Xiaoyin was just thinking about what a baby could eat. Wu Xiaoyin felt overwhelmed by the mountain of food piling up at home. Who else had such troubles?

Seeing Wu Xiaoyin frowning and sighing, Lei Lu asked, “What’s wrong, Xiao Xiao?”

Wu Xiaoyin openly shared his concerns with Lei Lu, “I’m worried that even if you don’t hunt, we’ll never finish all the food we have in our lifetime. What should we do?”

Lei Lu thought Wu Xiaoyin was worried about something else, but now understood it was about food. He felt frustrated with himself for not explaining it to Xiao Xiao sooner. He quickly replied, “Xiao Xiao, I’ve already discussed this with the tribe chief. The meat, herbs, and animal skins sent by the other tribes will be used as our tribe’s reserves. We’ll keep meticulous records on a piece of sheep skin. The food and animal skins for food reserve and herbs for the priest will be recorded. If we need anything, we can retrieve fresh meat and other goods from the tribe.”

Wu Xiaoyin smacked his forehead and said, “Of course. Why didn’t I think of that? This way, we won’t have to worry about food spoiling, herbs losing efficacy, or animal skins gathering dust.”

Hearing Xiao Xiao smacking his own head, Lei Lu felt pain and rubbed his head affectionately. He then picked him up and went to the bedroom to take a nap.

With the weight lifted off his mind, Wu Xiaoyin felt that everything he ate was delicious and his snoring when he slept was more joyful. The cold season quietly slipped away.

When the growth season began, Wu Xiaoyin didn’t immediately notice it. This was completely different from the feeling before when he eagerly wished for the cold season to pass, but could only count the days bit by bit. Wu Xiaoyin could finally step outside. He quickly made strawberry dried milk cakes and lemon-flavored milk candy to visit Bin.

After being cooped up the entire cold season, the three little ones were like arrows released from a bow. They darted outside once Wu Xiaoyin gave them permission. They raced toward Bin’s house.

Arriving at Bin’s home, Wu Xiaoyin noted that Bin looked well and asked, “How have you been these days? Is the baby in your belly behaving?”

Bin patted his belly gently and replied, “Pretty good. Thank you for the delicious food. It kept the baby calm.”

Wu Xiaoyin thought about how Bin’s baby seemed exactly the same as Xiao Kai’s at that time. He imagined that like Pu Pu, the baby would also be a foodie. “That’s great. When the baby arrives, they can come over to eat with Pu Pu.”

Bin also thought of Pu Pu’s obsession with food and chuckled, “If my baby is anything like Pu Pu, you might end up broke from feeding them!”

Wu Xiaoyin looked eager. “That’s perfect, you don’t know how much food we have at home. It’s almost too much to eat. When the people from other tribes send meat for the stone house trade on this year’s Exchange Day, I’ll be counting on Pu Pu and your baby to eat a bit more. The more you eat, the happier I’ll be.”

Thinking about the food storage problem, Wu Xiaoyin shared Lei Lu’s plan with Bin. Bin felt relieved and began chatting with Wu Xiaoyin. The afternoon passed quickly.

Kola returned just then. Starting this year, he was set to begin formal training. The once childish expressions on his face were gradually becoming more subdued. Wu Xiaoyin thought he was developing a temperament similar to Feng’s. Thankfully, Kola shared a gentle and handsome appearance like Feng. If the three little ones were as expressionless as Lei Lu, he would truly have a headache!

Wu Xiaoyin finally understood why Dad Xi often complained about Lei Lu’s facial paralysis from time to time. It was indeed a source of worry! Watching the three little ones rolling around with Kola, Wu Xiaoyin vowed that he wouldn’t raise three little ones with expressionless faces.

However, seeing Kola remain calm while the three little ones climbed all over him was quite endearing. Wu Xiaoyin thought he had found the perfect material for Kola’s birthday gift this year. As he grew up, he would surely bring smiles to everyone!
