After all, the slight advantage meant that Sha Qing was just a little bit more powerful than him, not a lot.
Hu Sheng clenched his fists so tightly that they cracked. He cupped his fists and stared straight at Sha Qing. His voice was loud and clear, but it was obvious that he didn't want to admit defeat. He looked at Sha Qing provocatively and said, "Shall we continue next time?"
Sha Qing nodded and walked straight to Jiujiu.
When Sha Qing walked in front of Jiujiu, the orcs who were originally eager to duel Hu Sheng immediately took the opportunity. Many of the orcs who were watching the show looked at Jiujiu with eager eyes and said in a gentle tone, "Lord Priestess, you've come?"
When the previous priestess chose Jiujiu as the new priestess, most of the orcs were not convinced. After all, no matter which tribe there was, there had never been a fox priestess. But now, ever since Jiujiu taught them how to make jerky and made ceramics to preserve as much jerky as possible, the orcs' admiration for Jiujiu was simply unstoppable.
Now that they saw Jiujiu coming over, many of the orcs who knew Jiujiu took out the dried fish that they had specially made for Jiujiu from their homes.
Jiujiu liked to eat dried fish purely because of the saltiness in it. But when she saw the dried fish that were half her height, Jiujiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Such a big dried fish didn't have any taste at all, and the orcs didn't make things as meticulously as Jiujiu. At most, they would take out the innards of the fish and dry them out like dried meat.
Not only that, but there were also shiny fish scales hanging on the fish skin.
But no matter what, these were the orcs' good intentions, so Jiujiu naturally accepted them with a smile. It was only a few hundred meters from the competition venue to her house, but Jiujiu received gifts along the way. And what made Jiujiu the most dumbfounded was that most of the gifts were dried fish.
Of course, these things were naturally carried by Sha Qing for Jiujiu. When the two of them returned to their cave, Sha Qing's head was drowned by the gifts from the orcs. Jiujiu could only see Sha Qing's strong and muscular legs moving back and forth. She didn't know how Sha Qing could see the way with his eyes covered.
Jiujiu only let Sha Qing put the jerky into the extra ceramic jar and started preparing dinner for the two of them.
In fact, at the beginning, Sha Qing didn't want Jiujiu to cook.
In the past, it was because of Jiujiu's identity as a priestess, but now, it was purely because Sha Qing felt that Jiujiu was already a qualified priestess, and a priestess should be respected and worshipped by all orcs. Moreover, it would be best if they didn't do any chores, so he didn't want Jiujiu to cook at all.
After all, since ancient times, no matter which tribe or priestess it was, there was no one who cooked.
So when Jiujiu just arrived at the cave, Sha Qing righteously rejected Jiujiu's request to cook. Sha Qing's confident expression made Jiujiu a little speechless, so she could only agree with a confused expression.
However, after eating two meals of Sha Qing's cooking, Jiujiu didn't want Sha Qing to cook anymore.
Although the ingredients were the same, Sha Qing was a man after all. In his opinion, as long as the food was edible, it was fine. It was clearly the same piece of meat, so whether it was adding water or heat, he learned how Jiujiu used to make meat soup, but the final product almost made Jiujiu vomit.
Although the ingredients were the same, Sha Qing's cooking wasn't as good as Jiujiu's. Anyway, after eating two meals of Sha Qing's cooking in a row, Jiujiu didn't want to eat Sha Qing's cooking anymore.
Jiujiu firmly rejected Sha Qing's request to cook, and took over the responsibility of cooking.
Although Sha Qing was particularly determined to reject Jiujiu's request at the beginning, after eating Jiujiu's cooking, Sha Qing was embarrassed to continue eating his own cooking after eating Jiujiu's cooking.
Although it was a little inappropriate for Jiujiu to use the identity of a shaman, he felt even more guilty for letting a shaman eat the disgusting food he made.
So, the two tacitly agreed to let Sha Qing help Jiujiu cook.
Because they had collected too much dried fish, Jiujiu simply cooked fish at night.
It didn't matter if they didn't have the ingredients. When it came to food, even if they didn't have the conditions, they still had to create the conditions.
Orcs had to survive the rainy season, and so did animals. Because of the arrival of heavy rain, many animals would hide in caves like orcs and rely on sleep to survive the long rainy season, so their skin would accumulate a thick layer of fat.
Fat was greasy and tasted particularly bad. Although it was said to be high in calories, it was inevitable that eating too much would make one feel nauseous, so most orcs would tacitly throw away the fat.
Sha Qing was the same, but since Jiujiu discovered the fat, she let Sha Qing keep a part of it.
Seeing so many fish today, Jiujiu thought of the fat she had left behind a few days ago, so she learned how to refine the oil.
She put the fat in a pot, roasted it over a small fire, and put the oil into an extra jar. Jiujiu scooped out some of the refined oil, then she put the small pieces of fish she had cut into the oil and fried them.
Although the animal fat was a little fishy, it was better than nothing in this era where people rarely wore it. After the fat and fish were fried together, it created a unique aroma. Even though there was a curtain made of animal skin, the aroma still seeped through and instantly attracted many orcs.
Seeing Jiujiu using something they didn't know to fry the dried fish, the orcs sniffed and then couldn't help but praise, "It smells so good."
Previously, they thought that meat soup was the best food, but now that they smelled the fragrance of the fried dried fish, they changed their minds again.
Moreover, when they found out that Jiujiu was frying the dried fish that they had always thought to be tasteless, they were even more surprised. They didn't know that the unchewy dried fish could be so delicious.
The orcs spread like wildfire, and almost all the orcs in the tribe ran to Jiujiu's place to watch Jiujiu make the fried dried fish.
In the end, Jiujiu, who only wanted to make some fried dried fish for herself, was forced to make fried dried fish for all the orcs.
Although there were too many people and each orc was only given a small amount of dried fish, this didn't dampen their enthusiasm. If it wasn't for the heavy rain outside, they would have rushed out to catch a few more fish so that Jiujiu could make delicious dried fish for them. Sure enough, since ancient times, the power of gluttons was the greatest.
After the incident with the fried dried fish, Jiujiu completely discovered the gluttonous nature of these orcs.
