Transmigrating to the Beastman Continent to Live a Happy Life - Chapter 50

Entering the last month of the harvest season, Wu Xiaoyin had already spent a full nine months on the Beastman Continent, which was equal to a year and a half in Earth time. (TL: because of the 48 hours a day in Beastman Continent). During the final phase of the harvest season, everyone in the tribe was busy. Previously, they had been focused on hunting various prey and preparing them for pickling and drying.

Now, the harvest of various fruits was concentrated during this time, so aside from the necessary hunting time, the males helped the females pick fruits. Of course, the males were mainly assisting with the physical labor because Wu Xiaoyin’s improved carts was a great help. Large quantities of fruits were brought back to the tribe and placed in the spacious tribal square.

The previously empty caves had been occupied for salt production, cart manufacturing, and animal meat storage, and drying fruits required ample open space. Thus, the tribal square, which served as the gathering place of the tribe, was currently the best option.

After breakfast, Wu Xiaoyin headed to the tribal square along with Xiao Kai and Bin who came to find him. Today, Wu Xiaoyin would teach everyone how to make canned fruits, pickled fruits, and dried fruits. Naturally, with Xiao Kai and Bin assisting him.

Now, the people of the tribe recognized Wu Xiaoyin. Although Wu Xiaoyin still didn’t know many of their names, this did not hinder him from feeling the tribemen’s goodwill and gratitude. Therefore, Wu Xiaoyin was even more determined to ensure the tribe would have a better winter this year, free from cold and hunger.

Once Wu Xiaoyin arrived, he wasted no time and immediately began demonstrating because his rest schedule was tight. Otherwise, when Lei Lu returned from hunting, he wouldn’t have any time to work himself and would have to obediently rest on his exclusive spot—either on Lei Lu’s lap or in his arms, no room for negotiation!

Wu Xiaoyin slowly taught the females present how to make canned fruit, including Dad Xi and Priest Luo. They washed the fruits, removed the pits and stems, cut the fruits into chunks, brought water to a boil, then added the fruits and honey, cooled and stored them in jars, and finally put into a cold place. Due to the natural cold caves in the northern mountains where the tribe was located, these canned fruits could be transported to the natural cold storage.

For pickled fruits, the fruits were washed, dried in the shade, and placed in stone barrels with a layer of watermelon green salt for every fruit. After some time, the water was drained, and the fruits were dried again under the sun before sealing for storage.

Making dried fruits was simple. Just wash the fruits, slice them into two to three centimeters thick, not too thin or too thick. It was because too thin pieces would turn into fruit powder, while too thick ones would rot and mold before drying completely. After drying, they were stored in a cool and ventilated place.

By the time Wu Xiaoyin demonstrated all these methods, the sun was already high in the sky. Even though the temperature had dropped in the early morning and evening, it was still a bit warm during the daytime. Wu Xiaoyin was squinting against the sunlight and feeling a bit dizzy.

After washing his hands, Wu Xiaoyin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Bin, “Bin, I’ve already taught you before. Just watch the others and see if they have any problems. I need to leave now, otherwise I’ll be in trouble when Lei Lu catches me.”

Just as Bin was about to respond, Xiao Kai’s voice came through, and one could hear it trembling slightly: “Xiao Xiao, it might be too late. I see Lei Lu, Kos, and Feng coming.”

Wu Xiaoyin turned toward the direction of the tribe’s entrance, and indeed, Lei Lu’s figure appeared. Wu Xiaoyin couldn’t help but sigh that his life was over!

Of course, this was just a joke, haha!
