Searching for food through the beast world

We are a family

Living in another world is not that difficult.The pain in Ding Xiao's body gradually began to improve under the treatment of the herbal soup prescribed by the priest, but the occasional low-grade fever did not disappear from his body.Dante laughed and felt that the current feeling is much stronger than at the beginning. For an alien who has traveled through time, it is not very strange that there will be acclimatization in the early stage.

In the morning, he drank the soup that Qiong made for himself, ate the meat roasted by He himself, and drank a bowl of wild vegetable soup.Then follow Joan in the yard to beat the almost mountain of animal skins.When He came back at noon, he ran to see how the orcs easily "dissected" their prey with their sharp claws, and then waited for a fat meal of fresh meat grilled.The task in the afternoon is to concentrate on chatting with Joan, and ask some things about the world with the idiot reason of having a fever and forgetting a lot of things.The next thing is to eat a meal of boiled meat before evening, and the day is over like this.

It looks very laid back, and it is.But this kind of leisure will make Ding Xiao feel that he is about to be raised like a pig.How much effort can be exerted by beating and drying animal skins every day?What's more, Joan doesn't allow herself to reach out to help all the time, and spends most of her time watching and listening.It feels good to be cared for, but he is 24 years old, so he can't really treat himself as a child.Although he already knew that in the orc world, half-orcs and females were not considered adults until they were 30 years old, and he was really a cub in their eyes, but who would let him be a human being on earth.

Speaking of the lifespan of this orc, Ding Xiao really admired it.The oldest man in the tribe is 530 years old.I heard that humans in the orc world are generally ordered to be around five hundred years old, which is many times higher than the fact that few humans can live to a hundred years old.Ever since he found out about this, Ding Xiao no longer considered whether to find a partner to live with in the future.The males in the orc world are absolutely loyal to their partners. Even if their partners die, they will not find another one, and some will follow their partners.This is the happiness that Ding Xiao could never hope for.My own life is only eight or ninety years old, but this age is just adolescence for orc males, and they will not enter middle age until they are three hundred years old.Let a teenager in the orc world become a widower or even commit suicide for himself, a dry old man, he really can't bear such a crime.

In fact, Ding Xiao has never been particularly concerned about how long he will live.What worries him the most now is the diet in the beastman world!

The grilled meat is delicious and the taste is very tempting.But even Ding Xiao, who is a carnivore, is not willing to be so fleshy every day.Although there are many kinds of meat with different tastes, He Ye would come back with a different kind of prey every day, but it was all meat after all!The only light food is pheasant and fish, but the pheasant is so small that the orcs are not willing to catch it, and Joan is worried about her body not going to hunt in the woods every day, so Ding Xiao only ate one chicken in ten days.There is even less fish. In the winged tiger tribe, neither orcs nor half-orcs are good at fishing. If it weren't because Joan told He to drink fish soup to nourish his body, I am afraid that the fish in the first five days would be eaten by himself. Impossible to eat.

Orc males love meat most. Of course, half of their genes are pure carnivores, which is understandable.Fortunately, half-orcs also love to eat wild vegetables and various fruits, so Ding Xiao is glad that he can at least see green every day.But although all kinds of wild vegetables taste good, they are all boiled in plain water, or boiled in meat, which is a bit unreasonable.But seeing that there are only cooking utensils such as clay pots in the "kitchen", Ding Xiao knows that it can't be blamed on Joan's poor craftsmanship.And judging from He's awesome attitude that his partner's food is the best in the village every time he eats, it should be that there is no other way of cooking in the world besides roasting and boiling.This realization made Ding Xiao dumbfounded.Maybe it's really because the people on earth are too picky.

At noon on the 11th day, Ding Xiao finally raised his hand to "protest". "Father, can I cook food at noon today?" He didn't feel in the slightest that it was a mouthful for this title, and he was even slightly happy.At first, he thought that he would never be able to call this name again in his life.Although it is the relationship between adoptive father and adopted son now, the village head and the priests who have witnessed their relatives say that in the beastman world, such an adopted relationship is the same as a biological one.And told Ding Xiao that even if he has a partner in the future, he should not forget the goodness between Aba and Adie.Although orcs have a long life span, there will always be times when they are old and need the care of their children.Of course, they don't need to remind them, there is no possibility that Ding Xiao will not be filial to his father.As for He... Well, although he still doesn't like that face, he is really good to himself, and Father should be filial, so He can't be implicated because of others!

The point is, when they are old and the lights are off, Qiong and He should still be in their prime of life around 30 years old.The thing about filial piety... must be done from now on.

Now Joan is delighted to hear Ding Xiao call her father every day.If the priest hadn't said that Ding Xiao couldn't go out until his fever subsided, he even wanted to take the little guy around the village a few times to show those people.So basically Ding Xiao will agree to whatever request he asks.Originally, half-orcs had to learn how to cook food, so it's time for me to start teaching them now. "Okay. I'll watch you from the sidelines, you can ask me if you don't know."

Ding smiled and nodded, not complaining in his heart.Although I used to cook most of the lunch and dinner by myself when I was at home because my father wanted to watch the store, my cooking skills are not good, but they are definitely much better than boiled water.But the feeling of being cared and valued like this is really very good.

When having breakfast in the morning, He You explained that today the village head led a team to hunt in the depths of the forest.Because autumn has already begun, the entire tribe is frequently organizing the orcs to hunt in the depths of Aomori.The fur of large beasts keeps warm, and there will be a lot of meat, which is convenient for hoarding food for winter.

There are only two people in the family to do much less.You must know that orcs eat a lot. According to Ding Xiao's estimation, basically He can eat about [-] catties of meat in every meal, which of course is not counted as soup.Joan's appetite is much normal in comparison, but he can eat a lot more than Ding Xiao, a person on Earth.So it is definitely right to use the largest clay pot.

Take the pieces of meat that He processed yesterday and put them on the big chopping board, then pick up the scallop knife that Joan uses every day.The knife was visually okay, and he saw that Joan had cut it smoothly before, but it was completely different in his own hands.The knife was pushed down vertically, and a piece of meat was dug out.The knife was tilted down and pressed hard, but a piece of meat was still dug out.Looking at Ding Xiao's angry expression, Joan smiled and said that she would cut it herself, but Ding Xiao firmly refused.Then he ran back to his bedroom, the room where he woke up one day, and took out the universal military knife from his large backpack.Pulling out the fruit knife, Ding Xiao showed a "grief smile" on his face.Going back to the cutting board in the kitchen, he poked the piece of meat with his finger: "Look at how you still discriminate against me!"

Sure enough, it is more obedient to use the things I brought, although the meat is huge, and the military knife is only as long as a slap.But it's much easier to cut the meat into thirds before slicing the fat and slicing the leaner meat.Seeing Ding Xiao take out a shiny "knife" to cut meat, Joan was immediately attracted. "Smile, what kind of knife are you holding? It's from your tribe, right?"

Ding Xiao replied: "Yes. This is called a universal knife, and there are many other utensils. Although this knife is small, it is very sharp. It can cut through the hard skin of wild animals like Dad's animal claws!" The reason why he dared to say this In a word, it was because he had tested the hardness of the fur of the prey He captured.He believed that a good quality military knife would definitely do the job.

Joan stared at the universal knife in Ding Xiao's hand with joy and envy. "He said that your original tribe must be very powerful. It's true. I'm afraid the orcs in Aomori have never seen this thing before!"

Ding Xiao was stunned immediately after hearing this.Then he put the knife on the chopping board and looked at Joan: "Abba, can you try it?"

Joan's eyes lit up immediately. "May I try?" You must know that even if it is a biological father-son relationship, parents are not allowed to use their children's personal belongings without permission in the beastman world. Of course, children can't take their parents' things casually either.Especially since they are still adoptive father-son relationship, Joan will naturally be very cautious.

Ding Xiao smiled: "Of course! You are my father! I just cut so much, my hands are a little sore."

Joan cut the meat very carefully, feeling that the knife fell on the meat, as long as she exerted a little force, the piece of meat would be cut off.There is no need to cut it back and forth like the shellfish knife I usually use, and then cut it down.It feels amazing! "Smile, this universal knife is very useful! I don't know what it is made of, can people from our tribe make it?"

Ding Xiao stood while picking the tendons of spicy beans, and replied: "Yes. You can make it if you have iron or copper."

"Iron and copper? What's that?" Joan knew the pronunciation of these two words very well, but if it was to say what it was, I'm sorry he didn't know.

"It's from some ores, er... there are some special stones, smash them and burn them with fire, and what's left is iron or copper." Ding Xiao answered Joan's question with a wry smile, and then lamented The knowledge of smelting is really pitiful.If he knew that one day he would travel to the world of orcs, he should have learned metallurgy instead of fashion design.

But Ding Xiao was taken aback by Joan's words after listening: "Eh? Isn't that the same method as refining silver and gold?"

Is there gold and silver here?Ding Xiao's surprise was inevitable: "Is anyone in the tribe refining gold and silver?"

Joan shook her head: "We don't have it in the Winged Tiger Clan, but some people in the Golden Lion Clan can do it. Females like the jewelry they make out of gold and silver very much. But the soft gold and silver are not at all as good as the copper and iron you mentioned , apart from looking shiny, I can't even cut root vegetables."

Ding Xiao was even more dumbfounded this time.Dad is so funny.Actually, because gold and silver cannot be cut into meat, the status of iron and copper is completely overrated.But yes, in the world of orcs, the currency in circulation is made by the Tianyu tribe in the clear waters, and it looks like a pearl-like shell that has been ground into pieces.Gold and silver are really just a decorative value. "Abba, can you promise me not to tell others that I have this kind of knife?"

Joan froze for a moment, and then immediately asked: "Can He also?"

Well, Ding Xiao knew that in the orc world, couples are absolutely loyal without lies or concealment, so he nodded: "You can tell Dad, but Dad must promise not to tell others."

Joan nodded immediately: "No problem! If he dares to go out and talk nonsense, I'll cut off his nails!"

Cutting off the orc's nails is really a serious punishment.Ding Xiao couldn't help laughing: "Abba, you are so kind!"

Joan laughed even more happily after hearing this sentence: "Of course! We are a family!"
