Transmigrating to the Beastman Continent to Live a Happy Life - Chapter 79

At this point, Xiao Kai finally regained his composure. He cautiously glanced at Lei Lu. Seeing that Lei Lu’s expression didn’t change much, he quickly changed the subject and said, “Let’s head back first. I saw some giant willow trees nearby. We can grab some willow branches on the way back, and then after we make the willow baskets at the campsite, we can come back here to collect the giant rice.”

Wu Xiaoyin nodded in agreement with Xiao Kai’s suggestion, then thought about the giant cabbage and asked, “Are the giant cabbages wrapped outside non-toxic and edible?”

Lei Lu immediately responded to Xiao Xiao’s question, “The giant cabbage is non-toxic. Xiao Xiao, do you want to use it for cooking?”

Hearing Lei Lu’s question, Wu Xiaoyin happily replied, “This giant cabbage can be used for cooking, and it can also be made into sauerkraut. The sauerkraut made from cabbage there is incredibly tender and tastes much better than regular wild vegetable sauerkraut!”

Xiao Kai, being a foodie, forgot all threats upon hearing about delicious food. He hurried over to Wu Xiaoyin and asked, “Then will Xiao Xiao teach us how to make it, right? Don’t worry, we’ll definitely trade for it with animal meat, no problem?”

Wu Xiaoyin thought about how sauerkraut and pickled vegetables are rare treats during the cold season. Of course, he hoped that everyone in the Giant Tiger tribe could enjoy this rare green during the cold season. The sauerkraut would turn out to be more of a yellow-green, while the pickled vegetables would be dark green, but at least there was some “green” in them.

Thus, on the way back, Wu Xiaoyin and his group gathered many branches from the giant willow trees. Upon returning to the campsite, they informed the tribe about the discovery of giant rice. Everyone cheered and made a move.

At dinner time, Lei Lu taught the tribe how to make willow baskets. Surprisingly, the male beastmen were quite adept at it. Although there were some gaps, the giant rice grains were larger, so it didn’t affect the use. In fact, the male beastmen’s baskets were bigger, so it could carry more giant rice. This made the work done easily.

After dinner, Wu Xiaoyin washed up and fell asleep in Lei Lu’s arms. Before falling asleep, he was still thinking of the pickled fish and stir-fried pork with pickled cabbage. Just thinking about it made him salivate. In fact, he actually drooled in his sleep, though he was unaware of it.

Seeing Xiao Xiao sleeping while drooling foolishly, Lei Lu gently wiped away the drool and kissed his cheek before falling asleep himself.

The next morning, Wu Xiaoyin woke up to the rustling sounds of animals moving in the forest and birds chirping cheerfully. The sight of lush greenery filled his eyes, and he breathed in the fresh air. So wonderful!

Lei Lu was already awake and had washed up. Seeing that Xiao Xiao was awake, he quickly brought him warm cabbage and pork soup and a piece of roasted meat. When Wu Xiaoyin reached for the soup, Lei Lu held it up to his mouth. Wu Xiaoyin quickly dodged and said, “I haven’t brushed my teeth or washed my face yet. Let me wash up first, then I’ll eat.”

Only then did Lei Lu relent and set down the soup and roasted meat. He took Xiao Xiao’s hand and walked to a nearby stream. After he washed up and finished breakfast, he said, “Kos, Feng, and the others have already gone to pick the giant cabbages. We only need to gather a few, and the tribe chief will organize a team for large-scale harvesting.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Xiaoyin asked worriedly, “Didn’t they say the cold season is about to arrive? Will we have enough time?”
