"Chief!" Amu stood at the entrance of the cave and shouted inside.

Patriarch Jing heard Amu's voice and came out, "What's wrong, Amu?"

Seeing Ah Qi standing next to Ah Mu, he questioned Ah Mu angrily, "Why did you bring Ah Qi out? If Ah Qi gets frozen in this weather, I'll punish you. Why don't you send Ah Qi back to the cave!"

"Chief, don't blame Amu. I came here on my own initiative. I found a kind of food that can be eaten in winter. It's not far from our tribe." Bai Qiqi looked at Amu's aggrieved face and quickly came to the rescue.

"Great, I'll ask the male orcs to go with you now." Chief Jing was very excited to hear that there was food, but he thought it was inappropriate for Ah Qi, a female, to go out during the winter. "Ah Qi, tell us where it is and we'll go pick it. Now let Ah Mu take you back."

"I'm wearing a down jacket, so I'm not cold. Chief, please go and call people, and remember to bring animal skins." Bai Qiqi waved her hand to indicate that she was not cold at all.

Chief Jing saw that Ah Qi was wearing strange clothes and didn't seem to be cold. He turned around and ran out to call his fellow tribesmen.

After a while, more than a dozen male orcs came.

The group chatted as they walked and soon arrived.

"Amu, are you attracted to Ah Qi?" The one who spoke was Amu's brother beast Ah Yun.

"I think she's pretty good." said another brother beast.

"You think she's good too?" A Yun asked back.

"Yeah, it's pretty good." Amu nodded with a silly smile.

Amu was very happy in his heart. It must be good! Soon, Ah Qi will be my female.

Amu looked at Bai Qiqi in front of him with joy in his eyes. Although Qiqi was not good-looking, she had a pair of beautiful eyes, and her heart beat especially fast when she looked at him.

Bai Qiqi noticed someone was looking at her, she turned around and saw Amu grinning foolishly, looking like the stupid son of a landlord, Bai Qiqi immediately found it funny.

"We're here." Bai Qiqi squatted down and used her hands to push away the snow to reveal the mushrooms.

"Aqi, this can't be eaten." Amu looked at Bai Qiqi nervously.

"This round one with dark brown color and bumps and textures on the surface is non-toxic and must be cooked before eating." Bai Qiqi explained patiently.

Ah Qi looked as if something had suddenly dawned on him.

"Before, one of our tribesmen ate something red and got poisoned." A Yun still remembers the beastman foaming at the mouth and twitching all over.

Acheng and Amu nodded.

Bai Qiqi taught them how to pick shiitake mushrooms correctly. "When picking mushrooms, pick up the mushroom stick with your left hand, pinch the base of the mushroom stem with your thumb and index finger, rotate it left and right, and then twist it off. Do not let the mushroom feet remain on the mushroom tube and rot, which will affect the future fruiting."

Then he said, "If the mushrooms grow densely and have a deep base, you need to use your claws to dig from the base of the mushroom feet. Be careful to keep the shape of the mushroom intact. Now let's start picking mushrooms. Three people in a group, 15 people is exactly five groups, and we will work together to pick mushrooms."

"Okay." They responded in unison.

Bai Qiqi was about to pick mushrooms when Amu beside her grabbed Bai Qiqi's hand and said with concern, "Aqi, don't touch the ice again. It's not good for your health."

"Okay." Bai Qiqi couldn't bear to let Amu down, so she stood up and stopped touching the mushrooms.

When Ayun saw this scene, he immediately pulled Acheng to the other side to pick mushrooms.

Everyone started picking mushrooms.

This was the second time Bai Qiqi saw shiitake mushrooms, and they were so big, as big as a palm. The chicken stewed with shiitake mushrooms was so delicious.

"Amu, have you ever encountered an animal that lays eggs when you went hunting?" Bai Qiqi wanted to know if there were chickens in the world of beasts, otherwise how could she stew chicken with mushrooms?

"You are talking about the cuckoo beast, right? Its eggs are not delicious." Amu thought Bai Qiqi wanted to eat the cuckoo beast's eggs.

"I not only want to eat the eggs of the Cluck Beast, I also want to eat the Cluck Beast." Bai Qiqi looked at Amu's uncomfortable expression and wanted to tease him.

"Do you really want to eat?" Amu asked worriedly.

"Really, I can make it delicious." Bai Qiqi didn't intend to tease him anymore.

"Okay! Then I want to be the first to try it." Amu was afraid that Bai Qiqi would feel uncomfortable with the fishy smell, so he decided to test the poison on himself.

"Amu, wait a minute!" Bai Qiqi saw Amu holding a stone and about to throw it, so she quickly stopped him.

"That's right, this is the flint. Amu, this can make fire!!" Bai Qiqi said excitedly as he looked carefully at the stone in Amu's hand.

She was just worrying about the trouble of having to go to the chieftain every time to get more fire if the fire went out. But now she felt sleepy and someone handed her a pillow.

"Do you mean that we can have the holy fire anytime in the future?" Amu was also very excited.

"That's right." Bai Qiqi nodded with a smile.

"That's really great! This way they won't have to guard the sacred fire all night long. The females won't have to worry about the sacred fire going out in winter anymore. Ah Qi, you're really awesome!" Ah Mu held the stone in his hand without using any strength, for fear of breaking it.

Bai Qiqi looked at Amu who was as excited as a child, and couldn't help but sigh that the people here were really easy to satisfy.

If I had lived here since I was a child, would I still be as kind as before?

Although Amu was talking to Bai Qiqi, his hands did not slow down at all and he quickly filled the two animal skin bags he brought.

Soon everyone's bags were full, and when they went back, they were talking about how to eat the mushrooms.

"I will teach you how to make it when the time comes, but it must be cooked. Undercooked ones are not edible, especially for children and the elderly with poor stomachs." Bai Qiqi knew that they would doubt whether shiitake mushrooms are really edible, so she was willing to explain to them patiently!
