Transmigrating to the Beastman Continent to Live a Happy Life - Chapter 84

After finishing their meal, Xi held a cup of transparent dried fruit tea in his hands and asked, “Was the stone jar that Lei Lu just brought over filled with the giant cabbage you discovered earlier? Was it made into pickles?”

Wu Xiaoyin comfortably took a sip of tea, burped contentedly, and replied, “Yes, it’s the giant cabbage, but it has been made into sauerkraut, not pickles. Dad’s sauerkraut is as sour as the transparent fruit we’re drinking now, but it’s a bit different. This jar is what we just made in Uncle Hen’s and Uncle Kun’s cave, and it will be ready to eat in a month.”

Upon hearing that the sauerkraut would be sour, Xi became very curious. “Is that so? Then I’ll definitely make more when the time comes. This cold season will surely be very comfortable.” He nodded affirmatively after saying this.

However, Wu Xiaoyin had doubts regarding the upcoming heavy snow and the production of so much giant rice and giant cabbage. “Didn’t they say before that during the half-month before the cold season, we shouldn’t over-harvest fruits and vegetables, and that hunting should only meet daily needs? Why can we harvest the giant rice and giant cabbage this time?”

Hearing this, Lei Yan realized that Xiao Xiao was still lacking in his understanding of the situation on the Beastman Continent. He shot a somewhat reproachful glance at Lei Lu. A good beastman should take care of their female, which includes ensuring they have a grasp of basic knowledge. It was clear that Lei Lu was not doing enough. During the cold season, he would give this kid a proper lesson in his free time!

Lei Lu blinked innocently at his father’s glare and said, “Xiao Xiao, it’s because the giant rice and giant cabbage are the first foods discovered by the beastmen on the Beastman Continent, so they can be harvested in large quantities before the cold season arrives. Especially the giant rice, which provides a lot of energy. Of course, we will still leave some so they can thrive next year, but this is clearly documented in the continent’s atlas.”

“Oh, so that’s how it is!” Wu Xiaoyin nodded in understanding and asked, “Is there enough time? Will that area we discovered be able to meet the needs of the entire Giant Tiger Tribe for the whole cold season?”

Hearing the cute question from Xiao Xiao, Xi shot a fierce glance at Lei Lu. Then he patted Xiao Xiao’s head and said, “Xiao Xiao, in addition to the area you discovered earlier, your father and the others also found many growth sites for giant cabbage within the hunting range of the Giant Tiger Tribe. Initially, we didn’t discover the seeds of giant cabbages and also the giant rice you mentioned that can be used as a staple food. Now it’s different, so when beastmen go hunting, they will conveniently bring back any giant cabbage and giant rice they see.”

“As for whether it can support the entire Giant Tiger Tribe, of course not. Even if it could feed everyone in the tribe, those males who love meat probably wouldn’t agree. In fact, the food we prepared earlier is already enough for our entire tribe to get through the cold season. For example, in our family, the strong beastmen have prepared enough food this year to last until the end of the growth season!”

“By the way, that willow basket is really useful. Xiao Xiao, you have a clever little head!”

Wu Xiaoyin felt guilty upon hearing the praise about the willow basket and did not dare to meet Xi’s admiring gaze. After all, it was something he had made a long time ago. He just hadn’t seen it in a while and forgot where Lei Lu had put it. It was only when they needed to carry the giant rice that he remembered the willow basket. With this thought, Wu Xiaoyin shot a meaningful look at Lei Lu and said quietly, “Don’t think I don’t know your little schemes.”

Feeling the probing look from Xiao Xiao, Lei Lu couldn’t help but deepen his breath. Father Lei Yan, whose hearing was exceptional, cast a sympathetic and somewhat gleeful glance at Lei Lu’s lower abdomen.

He thought silently, this kid still has to wait! Unlike me, who can happily eat meat every day. Just thinking about that scene made Lei Yan’s gaze burn as he looked at Xi. Xi didn’t even need to look to know whose gaze was upon him. It felt like he was ready to eat him alive. He quickly turned around and shot a fierce glare at Lei Yan, causing Lei Yan to breathe heavily. The sound of it entered Xi’s ear. He hurriedly twisted Lei Yan’s ear and dragged him into the house to teach him a lesson.

Seeing his father’s cowardly look, Lei Lu silently thought to himself, you laughed at me, but it seems my dad is really something! However, recalling that Xiao Xiao’s body still has a long way to go before adulthood, his excited feelings cooled down. He looked at Xiao Xiao with a somewhat melancholy expression.

Wu Xiaoyin was completely confused by Dad Xi suddenly reprimanding Father Lei Yan and was equally puzzled by Lei Lu’s gaze. Thus, Wu Xiaoyin was left in a daze as Lei Lu carried him back to their cave.

And the cold season had finally begun!
