Even though it was her first time making porcelain, Jiujiu had already made a large container that could be used as a rice pot by the time Sha Qing came back. There was also a large spoon, two small spoons, two small bowls, and a pair of chopsticks that Jiujiu made out of tree branches. A complete set of kitchen supplies was completed.
After making all these things, Jiujiu's confidence increased greatly. She continued to use the clay to make some bricks and built a simple stove. She was going to make meat stew for Sha Qing to eat when he came back.
After eating barbecued meat for such a long time, Jiujiu felt that her cheeks were about to die from the pain. No wonder Sha Qing's cheeks were so well-defined. It must have been the result of chewing barbecued meat for a long time, Jiujiu thought to herself.
When Sha Qing came back, he saw Jiujiu sitting on his balcony next to a strange object that he had never seen before.
His front door was a complete mess. More than half of the originally full firewood was gone.
Sha Qing threw the tiger he had been carrying on his shoulder to the ground. He looked at Jiujiu and used a stone knife to deal with the tiger's corpse. He was going to give the excess meat to the beastmen who had cubs at home.
Seeing Sha Qing start to deal with the food, Jiujiu quickly ran in front of Sha Qing. She looked up at Sha Qing and revealed a brilliant smile that had a hint of flattery. She looked at Sha Qing and said, "Sha Qing, can you leave an extra leg for me tonight?"
Sha Qing paused in the middle of dealing with the tiger's corpse when he heard Jiujiu say that he would leave a leg for her. He looked up at Jiujiu and asked in confusion, "What do you want a leg for?"
One leg was enough for the two of them every day. Any extra would go bad if left alone. It was better to give it to the cubs of the beastmen who couldn't catch enough food.
Jiujiu blinked her beautiful fox eyes. She thought for a bit and whispered in Sha Qing's ear, "I thought of a way to preserve food for a long time today. I want to experiment with it. Is that okay?"
Jiujiu's fox eyes were clear and transparent. Because of anticipation, her orange-yellow pupils emitted a light of desire. There was a special kind of magic in her eyes that made Sha Qing unable to say a word of refusal.
Sha Qing raised his hand and cut off a leg with his stone knife. He handed it to Jiujiu and said warmly, "Is it enough? If it's not enough, I'll give you another one. "
She looked at the fat leg that weighed more than ten kilograms.
Jiujiu was so happy. She nodded and said, "It's enough. Sha Qing, I'll cook for us tonight. You'll definitely want to eat more."
Sha Qing didn't look forward to Jiujiu's cooking at all.
Jiujiu was a priestess. Although she was young and didn't know how to do divination, she would be the one and only existence in the beastmen tribe when she grew up and had the ability to do so. She would be the priestess who would lead the beastmen out of poverty. Her job now was to eat more and grow up faster. Cooking wasn't her job at all.
However, since Jiujiu wanted to cook for him, then it was her good intentions. Although he didn't want to, Sha Qing didn't directly refuse Jiujiu.
Sha Qing only smiled and continued to deal with the tiger's corpse that he had brought back.
Jiujiu carried the tiger's leg that Sha Qing handed to her into the house. She held the ceramic pot that she had baked and filled it with water. She skillfully used the flint to start a fire and prepared to cook the meat soup.
Jiujiu used a stone knife to scrape off a large piece of meat from the tiger's leg before cutting it into smaller pieces. She waited for the water to boil before putting the meat into the pot. She then covered the pot with the lid that she had made and left the stove to maintain a small fire. Jiujiu then turned around and began to process the meat on the tiger's leg on the large rock that she had brought back from the forest today.
The current weather was relatively dry and hot. If a large piece of meat was placed together, it might quickly go bad. However, if small pieces of meat were placed together, they would quickly dehydrate and become jerky under the effect of the high temperature.
Jiujiu cut the tiger's leg meat into small strips and used a slender branch to skewer them. She instructed Sha Qing to hang the skewered meat strips on the roof where the wind could blow. She was prepared to check the results early in the morning.
When Jiujiu finished processing the meat strips, the meat soup in the pot was almost done.
She used leaves as insulation to open the lid of the pot. The aroma of the meat soup instantly rushed out. Although it was unavoidably monotonous without any seasoning, after eating roasted meat for such a long time, Jiujiu and Sha Qing's mouths were exceptionally fragrant and sweet even if there were no seasoning added.
Jiujiu cooked a large pot of meat soup that was enough for six people, but it was still eaten clean by the two of them. In the end, Sha Qing even licked her lips as if she still wanted to eat more.
However, because the meat soup took a long time to cook, although Sha Qing wanted to eat more, she didn't want Jiujiu to be overly tired. Therefore, she was especially considerate and started a fire to roast meat for herself.
After eating and drinking to their fill, the two of them slept exceptionally soundly.
Although Jiujiu didn't ask her to burn more than half of her dry wood, the result was exceptionally good. The meat soup made from the strange container was delicious, and the small bowl that Jiujiu made to hold the meat soup was even more wonderful. Sha Qing was very satisfied.
After eating and drinking to their fill, the two of them closed their eyes and slowly fell asleep.
The next day, the two of them woke up and went to the river to wash up. Jiujiu looked at the meat strips that had been air-dried overnight.
She casually tore off a piece of meat. Although the meat was a little dry due to dehydration, it was still exceptionally chewy. Jiujiu believed that after one or two days of air-drying, these jerkies would definitely be able to be stored for one or two months.
Three days later, Jiujiu's jerkies were basically air-dried. Although the taste was inevitably a little lacking, the advantage was that they could be stored for a longer time. If they were to spread out on a large scale, they would definitely be able to store enough food for the orcs to smoothly survive the rainy season.
After knowing that the jerkies that Jiujiu casually made could be stored on a large scale, Sha Qing immediately gathered all the orcs and prepared to tell them this good news.
The orcs who were originally prepared to go hunting were called over by Sha Qing. Especially when they saw Jiujiu standing on top, they were instantly dissatisfied. Even the male orcs who originally had objections to Jiujiu's identity as a fox orc yelled, "Why did you let this disaster come up? Let her scram down. "
Jiujiu's identity as a priestess didn't win her any respect. Instead, because she was both a fox orc and a priestess, it caused even more dissatisfaction.
