Transmigrating to the Beastman Continent to Live a Happy Life - Chapter 80

When Lei Lu heard Xiao Xiao’s question, he was really happy. His eyes sparkled as he quietly replied, “Xiao Xiao, don’t worry. I’ve already sent Hu Yi and Hu Er back to the tribe. The speed at which beastmen can fly is very fast when they transform into beast form. They should be back by this evening and will arrive here by tomorrow afternoon.”

“So, we don’t need to do large-scale harvesting of the giant rice right now. We just need to gather a portion since we have so many herbs and animal skins with us. The beastmen who come later will be the main force for harvesting and transporting the giant rice.”

After hearing Lei Lu’s words, Wu Xiaoyin nodded in relief and then asked, “So, are we waiting for the tribe members to finish harvesting tomorrow before we go back together?”

Lei Lu glanced at Xiao Xiao’s frail figure and replied, “No, the weather is going to turn cold very quickly. Xiao Xiao’s body won’t be able to handle it, so we’ll leave for the tribe as soon as Kos and Feng gather some giant rice.”

Wu Xiaoyin had no objections to Lei Lu’s arrangement. After all, he was well aware of his own frail condition, and Lei Lu understood that his body couldn’t tolerate a rapid drop in temperature.

Before long, Kos and Feng returned with large willow baskets filled with giant rice. Xiao Kai and Bin also carried a willow basket on their backs, which contained some fruits and leaves from the giant cabbage.

Seeing Wu Xiaoyin, Xiao Kai immediately pulled Bin over and said, “Xiao Xiao, let’s see if we can cook with the giant rice today!”

Wu Xiaoyin noticed the eager look on Xiao Kai’s face and nodded, saying, “Of course we can do that, but the giant rice should be used as a staple food, and we need to add some vegetables we usually eat to make it tastier. Since you’ve gathered giant cabbage and fruits, we can make a cabbage meat soup, a cabbage fruit salad, and honey-roasted meat.”

Upon hearing about the cabbage fruit salad and honey-roasted meat, both of which he had never tasted, Xiao Kai quickly dragged Wu Xiaoyin to the fire, wishing for him to start cooking right away. Wu Xiaoyin could only rub his forehead and sigh, “Xiao Kai, I just finished breakfast, and it’s still early. Can you really fit more food in your stomach?”

Xiao Kai instinctively patted his stomach at his words and replied, “Xiao Xiao, I’m hungry. I had breakfast a long time ago. It’s you who woke up too late, okay?”

Feeling a bit embarrassed at Xiao Kai’s words about him waking up late, Wu Xiaoyin rubbed his nose and coughed lightly. He said, “I didn’t wake up too late, okay? Since you’re hungry, let’s get started so we can finish early and head back to the tribe.”

He entrusted Bin with making the cabbage meat soup, as he had been doing it since he was little and was quite skilled. Xiao Kai took on the cabbage fruit salad, simply washing the cabbage and fruits, tearing the cabbage into small pieces, cutting the fruits into chunks, and drizzling honey over them.

As for Wu Xiaoyin, he focused on making honey-roasted meat and boiling the giant rice. The honey-roasted meat was very simple, but the actual work was done by Lei Lu. After all, Wu Xiaoyin couldn’t handle the whole giant bull and giant pig by himself. So, he only helped when it came to applying various seasonings. After brushing the honey mixture on the meat twice, the honey-roasted meat was quickly ready.

During this process, they encountered a problem, that is, the size of the giant rice was too large, with each grain being the size of a plum on Earth! Just imagine how big it would be once cooked!

Luckily, Lei Lu offered his help. After applying some pressure, he crushed the giant rice into smaller pieces with his hands. Lei Lu said that this was already the result of using very little effort, so the giant rice turned into a thick porridge. Wu Xiaoyin found a bit disappointing, but Lei Lu and the others were very supportive.

After a lively meal that served as both breakfast and lunch, the group quickly set off towards the Giant Tiger Tribe.
