In the old days of sucking bears

Sunrise in the east.The gorgeous morning light has shrouded the Beast God Capital, adding a bit of beauty and vitality to this simple and majestic ancient city.

The orcs of all races had already woken up early, and the smoke was rising from the kitchen.The orcs of the Black Wolf Tribe are no exception. This is always the time when the orcs of the tribe look forward to it the most.

The most high-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking method, and the most lively and convenient cooking method is undoubtedly eating hot pot on the side stove.

The hot flame burns the firewood, completing the sublimation of wood fibers and layers from organic to inorganic.

Then the stone pot was heated up, the animal oil sizzled, and the bright red chili powder slanted in, kicking and dancing with the oil flowers, and suddenly a burst of wonderful fragrance erupted, rushing straight to the depths of people's taste buds, reaching the soul , issued a cough-like sigh.

Ginger powder, minced garlic, and aniseed anise are put into the pot together, dance with chili powder, and kiss with boiling heat, and even more pungent aroma emerges, sweeping over the sky of Beast God City.

Suddenly, the pure and harmless broth was poured in, and a thousand piles of beautiful, disaster-like snow suddenly surged up, gurgling, was it the singing of water vapor, or whose stomach was screaming?

No problem.

Put snowflake-like fish in it, bright mushrooms in it, green wild vegetables in it, and large pieces of animal meat in it.

When the mouth is hungry, no piece of meat is innocent.

Turtle stared eagerly, Qi stared eagerly, Huyu stared eagerly, and the orc with a long tiger tail also stared eagerly.

Wait, what strange creature got in there?

Shen Shuliu raised his eyes to look at the tiger orc squatting beside the stone pot, and at the white and thin young man with two balls of baby fat hanging on his melon-like face: "What's the matter? It's an offering from our tribe. Question?"

"I don't know, I'm not in charge of offerings." The tiger orc man looked cute, but his personality was so cold that he was not cute at all. He flicked his tail expressionlessly and kept his eyes on the small stone pot. What is it? It smells so good."

"It's hot pot." Dai said, "Aren't there any beast gods?"

"I haven't seen it." Tiger Boy replied sternly, his eyes finally moved away from the pot, and stared at Shen Shuliu, "Can I eat it? I can exchange things with you."

Shen Shuliu: "What to exchange?"

"Gem." The tiger boy took out a high-quality sapphire from the bag on his waist, dark blue, shining in the murmuring sunlight, "Is this okay?"

Exchange a meal of Haidilao for a gem, no matter how you look at it, you can make a lot of money.

Tai opened his mouth, and Shen Shuliu, a profiteer, took it directly. No customers are God's purpose. Opening his mouth is to drive people away: "But our tribe doesn't have any extra pots. You can use a pot to serve it, or you can share it with other orcs in our tribe. Eat, after all, this pot is small."

"Okay." Tiger Boy nodded, "Where should we go to eat?"

Shen Shuliu chased them away together: "Pray, Huyu, take this guest to breakfast."

Qi Yingying: "Then can I come back?"

"What do you think?" Hu Yu rolled her eyes, and decided not to bend over for the non-existent five buckets of rice, "You wolf cub is really stingy."

As he said that, he rolled his eyes again, and affectionately went to grab the tiger boy's hand, "I'll take you there."

The tiger boy avoided his hand, with baby fat on his fair and clean face, but his tone was like that of an old cadre: "You have formed a bond, we can't get so close."

"...I haven't formed a bond, haven't formed a bond yet," Hu Yu emphasized, looking around like a thief, and seeing that there is no Mo nearby, she continued, "I'm only with a beastman temporarily, if you like me , you have to take the initiative, time waits for no one."

"I don't like it." The tiger boy moved his nose and said seriously, "I just want to eat, I exchanged with you, you should take me there now."

Hu Yu put her hands on her hips dissatisfied when she heard the words: "What? This face is mine, dissatisfied? You are so thin, white, white and tender. Except for me, no orc would want to be with you."

The tiger boy glanced at him and refused Pua: "It's fine that I've been single, you take me there."

The last sentence was for Qi, who had no hope for Shen Shuliu. Hearing this, he happily chatted with his new friend, "Okay, okay, I'll take you there! My name is Qi, what's your name?"

"Snow."

"Snow? It sounds like the name of a sub-beast haha, but you look as good-looking as a sub-beast!"

"Ah."

"Hey! Don't wait for me!" Hu Yu wrinkled her nose and followed angrily.

"Is it not good to treat that tiger orc like this?" Tai was a little worried, "After all, we belong to the three major tribes, although we are not afraid of trouble..."

"It's okay, you can't share the same pot with outsiders." Shen Shuliu dipped him in the sauce and put a large piece of animal meat in his bowl. "The three major tribes are nothing to be afraid of. If it's a big deal, we'll fight."

"It's not so easy to fight..." Dai ate the beast meat, and the charming spicy taste stimulated the taste buds, which made people instantly satisfied. "And it's still in their territory, it's too bold."

"We're here to do business, not to be angry." Shen Shuliu pinched his face, "People are yelling and shouting, what does it look like..."

"Where's your leader?!" Suddenly, a loud and powerful shout came from outside the tribe, "Do you still want to do business?"

Shen Shuliu: "..."

Tai Ren couldn't help laughing, Shen Shuliu silently put down the chopsticks in his hand, "Eat more, I'll go and see."

"Well, don't start a conflict."

"I'm sorry." Just hit it.

Shen Shuliu, whose face was refuted, walked outside the tribe, and saw a tall and strong barefoot man with two cute little horns, leading several equally tall and strong younger brothers, shouting in the same way: "Hey! Where's your leader?" ? We're here to talk to you about business!"

Highland smallhorn orcs?

Shen Shuliu frowned, and just as he was about to speak, he saw a half-life acquaintance walking over.

"Be careful when you speak, don't be so fierce!" The same tall and strong man with two small horns walked over quickly, and beat the head of the barefoot man with his big hand, "It is because of your loud voice that you are so easy to be beaten ..."

The barefooted man hugged his head with an aggrieved expression on his face, "Understood, brother."

The highland smallhorn bull orc muttered a few more words, looked up and saw Shen Shuliu, and smiled kindly and embarrassedly: "This is my brother, speak louder, and don't mean to be provocative."

"It's okay." Shen Shuliu glanced at their empty hands, "Are you here to talk about yogurt?"

"Yes or no..." The highland smallhorn orcs were even more embarrassed, scratching their heads, "Actually, we are here, heck, we came here after smelling the fragrance of your tribe, and we want to see which tribe it is, can we exchange it? ..."

Ah, another one attracted by hot pot.

"We can talk about it." Shen Shuliu immediately switched to the merchant mode, "But we didn't bring much seasoning, and we wanted to keep it for ourselves. Last night, we made a lot of offerings to the Beast God, so maybe..."

"I know, I know." The highland littlehorn orc quickly expressed his understanding, "Our tribe is just too greedy, and we want to exchange some with you. If your tribe has more, you can consider us first..."

The highland smallhorn orc smiled earnestly, "After all, too many tribes want to know what this aroma is, and our tribe has no advantage, just some worthless yogurt."

The other highland smallhorn orcs nodded vigorously, expressing their agreement with their leader's point of view. At the same time, they blatantly threatened the other tribes who stretched their necks to spy and listen.

... The orcs in this tribe are really good at dealing with their own shortcomings.

"Then let's come in and talk." Shen Shuliu nodded, and the highland littlehorn orc was flattered, "Then why don't you...we'll, cough, you're welcome."

"By the way, you are the leader of the tribe, right? I am the leader of the Highland Smallhorn tribe, Gao."

"flow."

"Um... what is this food that your tribe eats? Why is it so fragrant..." Gao didn't have to sniff his nose as hard as he did in his own tribe, the hot aroma went straight to his brain, fascinated him Basu.

"Hot pot." Shen Shuliu asked someone to bring a large pot, and waved to the highland littlehorn orcs, "Sit."

"Hey, good..." Gao sat down with the orcs from his own tribe, took the two thin wooden sticks handed over by the orcs from the Black Wolf tribe, and looked confused, "What is this for?"

"The hot pot is very hot, you can't handle it directly with your hands, you need to eat it with chopsticks." Shen Shuliu gave them a demonstration, "Like this."

"...Is that so?" Gao watched Shen Shuliu doing it, and he held a thin wooden stick in his big hands, drawing tigers and cats, and the chopsticks were so small that they kept falling out of his hands, he was at a loss for what to do.

"These chopsticks are too small..." Gao looked at the other little-horned orcs, who were also in a mess, and felt a little embarrassed, "The orcs in our tribe can't catch them..."

"It's okay, you can make bigger chopsticks," Shen Shuliu said, "Of course, it's up to you whether you make this yourself or get it from our tribe."

Gao looked at the chopsticks in his hands, one big and one small, and felt that his head was too big, "I'd better get some from you first, the orcs in our tribe are all clumsy, and maybe they can't do this for the time being."

"Okay." Shen Shuliu nodded, "You don't know how to use chopsticks, so you can use spoons for now, but it's not as convenient as chopsticks."

"It's okay, a spoon is fine." He happily took the spoon from the Heilang tribe, "Then how do you eat this 'hot pot'?"

Gao looked at the orcs of the Black Wolf Tribe, imitating how they put the meat into the hot hot pot soup, "Just put it in?"

"Well, put it in and rinse it for a few seconds to a few minutes, then pick it up and eat it when the meat is cooked."

"How long is a few seconds to a few minutes?" Gao Yi was taken aback.

"Look for yourself, it's fine when it's cooked." Shen Shuliu pointed to the stacks of sauces, "This is sweet chili sauce, minced garlic, sour sauce, honey sweet sauce and coarse salt and pepper, according to your own taste, You can use any sauce or no sauce."

"Why are there so many sauces..." Gao was dazzled, and admired Shen Shuliu and the others even more, "You tribe is so good at eating! This is the first time I have heard of so many sauces, and it is also the first time I have seen this way of eating! "

"Thank you." Shen Shuliu recruited a few orcs who are better at black wolves, "If you don't know anything, just ask them. After you finish eating, it's not too late for us to negotiate a deal."

"Okay." Gao looked at Shen Shuliu gratefully, "You are such a good orc."

It was the first time in his life that Shen Shuliu was issued a good card by the same person one after another: "...you're welcome."

-

"Is that the highland little horn orc from last time?" Dai puffed up his cheeks and ate, "Are they here to talk about yogurt?"

"No, it's caused by the hot pot." Shen Shuliu shook his head, and carefully wiped off the sauce that accidentally got on Tai's face, "Eating in such a hurry, it even dipped his face."

"I don't know when I got it," Tai raised his face and asked Shen Shuliu, "Is there any more on his face?"

"It's gone." Shen Shuliu took advantage of the opportunity to kiss her, and didn't dislike her mouthful of oil, "Eat a little less chili, and your stomach will feel uncomfortable later, and you'll be languid for a long time."

"I didn't eat much..." Tai was a little guilty. At the beginning, this chili was not very acceptable, but now the more he ate it, the more addicted he was. He just unknowingly dipped a lot in every bite.

"The Little Horn tribe also likes hot pot?" Dai said, "I saw a lot of strange orcs outside our tribe looking here, some of them came back and forth, pretending to pass by several times, I thought it was..."

"Thought they came here to seek revenge?" Shen Shuliu smiled, "We should be unfamiliar tribes to them. After all, it's the first time I came here, I don't know the basics, and I haven't started to set up a stall, so naturally I won't be presumptuous. directly."

"The little horned orcs also made some friends with us outside the city, and they only came from our tribe when they saw it."

"Ah," Damao said suddenly, "So you didn't ask them for anything just now?"

"Of course not, there is no such thing as a free lunch." Shen Shuliu took away the hot sauce in front of Dai and replaced it with minced garlic and honey, causing Dai to stare slightly, "I told you not to eat so much."

Shen Shuliu pinched his nose, and said again: "It seems that they want to book a long-term deal with us. For the first time eating, of course they have to act grandiosely, but in fact, I will calculate those expenses into the subsequent transactions. "

Tai was taken aback when he heard this, and then he couldn't laugh or cry: "You are too cunning, the little horned bull orcs are so simple, they didn't know they were cheated by you, and they probably thought you were a nice person."

"Indeed," Shen Shuliu shrugged, "They said 'you're such a good orc', I said 'you're welcome'."

"It's too bad..." Tai was really convinced, "I've never seen an orc like you who can play tricks."

"What kind of scheming...is smart, brave and powerful." Shen Shuliu grabbed him into his arms and rubbed him, "I'll give you another chance to praise your partner again."

"Don't hahaha...don't scratch me..." Dai was so troubled by him that he couldn't help laughing, Shen Shu was so merciless, and the fight became even harder, Dai had to lose the battle and begged him for mercy, " Okay, okay, hahaha... stop laughing, I won't laugh... you are the best..."

"I'm the best?"

"Well, you'd better..." Tai's hair was messed up by Shen Shuliu, it was tied in the morning, and now it has changed from a neat shawl braid to a messy wind, Shen Shuliu couldn't help but want to laugh .

"What are you laughing at?" Tai was inexplicably laughed at by him, but she couldn't help laughing when she saw him laughing, "What's wrong? What's so funny?"

"Hair is messed up, little bear."

"Is it messed up?" Dao touched her hair, which was fine at first, but now it's all round and round in a small arc, and when Dao touched it, another strand fell out.

But to be honest, this kind of mess is better than the neat one just now, making people want to make it even more messy...

There are all kinds of people in the world, but Shen Shu is full of colors.

Shen Shuliu coughed, and asked Dai to sit with her back facing her, "I'll fix it for you."

"Okay." Dai turned around obediently, Shen Shuliu untied the hair band, inserted his fingers into it as a temporary comb, smoothed the long snow-colored hair, and then held it all, revealing a section of snow-white neck.

On the snow-white neck, there are still spots of red plums, but the color is a bit dark, not so bright.

Shen Shuliu rubbed it with his fingertips, felt itchy, shrunk his neck, and said with a smile in his voice, "What are you doing...it's so itchy..."

"I didn't do anything, I'm braiding my hair." Shen Shuliu carefully braided it for him. The beautiful turquoise fell behind the hairband, and the tortoise moved slightly, and it was hidden in the hair, as if spring was hidden in the snow.

Shen Shuliu's heart skipped a beat, and he kissed her hair.

"Why are you still kissing your hair..." Dai smiled, and turned her head to kiss him, "You also have a spicy taste in your mouth..."

"You're sweet, I'm hot." Shen Shuliu smiled, and suddenly caught sight of a light bulb hanging high and insignificant, "...why haven't you left yet?"

Although it sounds very rude to chase people away, that's what Shen Shuliu meant.

Xue didn't hear it, but nodded seriously, "Well, I haven't left yet."

In Xue Xue's eyes that were as pure as white paper, Dai suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and pushed Shen Shuliu, "... What are you doing here?"

"Well, there's something to do." Xue put on a young round face, and said sternly, her amber pupils looked at Shen Shuliu seriously, "The hot pot is delicious, I want to exchange some more at night and in the future, I don't know if I can Can."

"Of course." Shen Shuliu's tone was light, "But we only accept payment and delivery. It's just that we don't have much goods, and there are other tribes who need them. How much do you want?"

"Will you eat this hot pot every day?" Hu answered irrelevantly, his eyes carrying these expectations.

"will not."

"Ah... so." Xue felt a little regretful, tilted her head, her silver-gray shattered hair slightly covered her eyes, "Then when your tribe eats hot pot, I will come and exchange with you, is that okay?"

"Yes." Shen Shuliu is optional, and there is no loss in having an extra pair of chopsticks, "However, the settlement fee will be much more expensive than buying our seasoning directly."

"It's okay." Xue shook her head, "I will exchange gems with you every time."

Shen Shuliu liked this kind of bullying the most, and his tone improved a lot when he heard the words, "We will stay in the Beast God Capital until we have traded everything. You are welcome to our tribe."

"Thank you." Xue showed a shallow smile, her small canine teeth looming, "You are such a good orc."

For the first time in his life, Shen Shuliu was issued a good person card within a day: "...you're welcome."

This sentence is really easy to say.

"Then I'll come again tonight." Xue waved at them, jumped down from the tree, and threw a gemstone from the white tiger tail behind her to Shen Shuliu, "I'll put this one with you first."

"Okay." Shen Shuliu nodded, and glanced at the gem in his hand, a golden sapphire, the size of a thumb, and a very beautiful color, "I can make a forehead ornament and hang it here."

Shen Shuliu gestured on Dai's forehead, and Dai pushed him amusedly, "It's too exaggerated to hang such a big one here."

"Then make it into a headband, and it looks good tied in the back."

"Don't make trouble..." Dai smiled, and suddenly said, "Gems are considered rare in the Beastman Continent. How can ordinary orcs get gems? This Xue's status in the Tiger Tribe should not be low."

"An albino tiger cub, mixed in with a group of normal-colored tiger orcs, can still shoot so generously." Shen Shuliu also suppressed his smile, "Maybe it's the cub of the head of the Tiger Tribe. It's not weak, and it looks immature. Still very upright, seems to be well protected."

"...But I don't think he looks well protected." Tai frowned, "It feels like he, an orc, looks a little... lacking in roots."

"Lack of root?" Shen Shuliu laughed, "It's a bit silly."

"It's not stupid, it's just a feeling..." Dai thought for a while, "I feel like I don't care about anything, but I'm attracted by hot pot, and it's a little cute."

"Cute or not... It's just that he was really attracted by the scent, or he was a spy sent by the Tiger Tribe," Shen Shuliu sneered, "If he really eats and drinks, that's fine, if he wants to do something small... "

"Don't blame us."

"You laugh like that..." Dai Nin couldn't help laughing, "You seem like a big villain."

The big villain Shen Shuliu also wanted to laugh when he heard his words: "The big villain is here to bully you now!"

"Don't..." Toi avoided his tickling, and suddenly heard a grunt, huh?Tai glanced at the steaming hot pot red soup, then at Shen Shuliu's stomach, "...are you hungry?"

"...I just took two bites." Shen Shuliu sighed, "There are so many things to do every day, I can't even eat a meal."

"One meal and three interruptions." Tai also felt that he was a bit miserable today, sympathized with him but couldn't help laughing, and urged him rather gloatingly, "Eat something to fill your stomach now, I don't know if there is anything else to do later I want you to be busy."

"Laugh at me when you're full?" Shen Shuliu grabbed him and kissed him hard, his stomach was growling hard, Shen Shuliu let him go viciously, "Wait until the big villain is full, come again beat you."

"...Okay." Tai still wanted to laugh.

"Laugh if you want to laugh, don't hold it back." Shen Shuliu sighed, and Dai was even more overjoyed, laughing so hard that he almost fainted, and fell on Shen Shuliu, unable to get up for a long time.

"Is it really so funny..." Shen Shuliu shook his head, put the fresh animal meat into the pot, boiled it for more than ten seconds, quickly scooped it up, wrapped it in delicious raw egg liquid, and put it in his mouth. Fragrant, tender and smooth, it immediately makes people's index fingers move.

It really tastes even better with an orange bird egg.

Shen Shuliu nodded secretly, put another piece into the pot, wrapped it in egg wash, and just about to eat it, he heard the loud greeting from the little horned bull orc: "Boss wolf! We're here to talk to you about business!"

Shen Shuliu: "..."

Co-authored to catch me acting while eating?
