Because she was afraid that the cubs would spoil the wheat, Jiujiu specifically told the orcs to look after their cubs and not to go to the place where she planted the wheat.
In Jiujiu's view, the wheat was no longer wheat, but the future of the orcs.
While planting the wheat, Jiujiu went to the mountain to look for the place where she found the dried fruit last time. She wanted to find a few dried fruit trees to study.
But Jiujiu didn't expect that her search for the dried fruit trees would result in an unexpected harvest.
Jiujiu had been looking for something that could be seasoned, but Jiujiu didn't know anything about salt mines, and she didn't know how to use sea salt. So, after searching for so long, she could only end up with nothing. But who knew that she would find two kinds of small fruits under the dried fruit trees.
One kind of fruit looked like a blueberry with a blue skin. When the skin was torn off, there would be a salty juice inside. It tasted like salt, but because it was a natural fruit, it had a natural fragrance compared to salt. The other kind of fruit was red and looked like a hawthorn, but it tasted sweet in the mouth. It tasted like white sugar, but it was sweeter than white sugar.
Finding two seasonings at once, Jiujiu quickly used the bag she made out of animal skin to put some of the fruits and returned home.
When Jiujiu got home, Sha Qing had already returned from hunting. Seeing Jiujiu come back, Sha Qing took the animal skin bag from Jiujiu's hand very naturally. She thought that Jiujiu had brought back some strange dried fruits like last time, but when she saw the small fruits in the bag, she was stunned. Sha Qing couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Why are you looking for this?"
Because Jiujiu was chosen as a sacrifice when she was still a cub, she had been raised by Sha Qing like a rice worm. Although she would go out for a walk during this time, she was particularly lacking in some common knowledge about the orc world.
Jiujiu thought that these fruits were very strange, but to Sha Qing, these fruits were like the leaves in the forest, rotten on the streets. They were the kind of things that no one would take a second look at even if they were rotten in the forest.
Today, Jiujiu told Sha Qing that she was going out to look for something, but she didn't expect that she would find a bag of rotten fruits. Sha Qing lifted her hand helplessly and rubbed Jiujiu's little head, asking softly, "What do you want these for?"
Jiujiu looked up at her, who seemed to have grown taller after finishing her work, and pouted her little mouth in dissatisfaction, saying softly, "To make food."
Sha Qing was a person who didn't care about food, and felt that her mouth had been raised by Jiujiu's mouth. After all, she was a person who didn't pay much attention to food, and felt that her mouth had been raised by Jiujiu.
Sha Qing had the urge to not have a family when she thought about how a female orc's cooking wouldn't be as good as Jiujiu's when she got married in the future.
However, Sha Qing lowered her head to look at the two kinds of rotten fruits and raised a question with some confusion, "Food?"
What could these two kinds of fruits be used to make food?
Sha Qing looked at Jiujiu with a face full of confusion.
Seeing Sha Qing's confused expression, the corners of Jiujiu's mouth hooked up to reveal a meaningful smile.
Sha Qing's reaction was actually very normal. The orcs didn't have much appetite for food, and if it wasn't for Jiujiu's arrival, the orcs might still be living in the era of eating roasted meat. Moreover, the orcs were pleasantly surprised that a meat soup without any seasoning was delicious. If they could eat food with taste, they would be pleasantly surprised.
Jiujiu smiled mysteriously at Sha Qing and brought the animal skin bag with the fruits back to her kitchen like she was carrying a treasure.
Although she only found salt and sugar substitutes, Jiujiu was still prepared to make a meal for herself to reward herself.
Meat soup was naturally indispensable, but Jiujiu added a few salty fruits as seasoning.
The saltiness and fragrance of the fruits added a different flavor to the meat. The most amazing thing was that the saltiness of the fruits was very penetrating. Not long after it was placed in the pot, the meat and soup were filled with a salty fragrance.
Seeing this, Jiujiu took out some fruits and crushed them with a stone. Then, she cut the fresh meat into pieces and marinated the meat with fruit juice to give it a salty taste before roasting it over the fire.
Not long after, Jiujiu made a meal for the two of them.
Seeing that the meal was no different from before, Sha Qing's face revealed a faint disappointment. However, seeing Jiujiu's face flushed red from being busy and even sweating, Sha Qing said softly, "Thank you for your hard work."
Jiujiu raised her hand to wipe the sweat on her cheeks and delivered the meat soup and skewers to Sha Qing's mouth as if she was presenting a treasure. She said as she handed it over, "Eat quickly, see if it's delicious."
Sha Qing pursed her lips and smiled lightly as she picked up the meat skewer and put it into her mouth.
She thought that it would taste the same as before, but when it entered her mouth, Sha Qing was instantly stunned.
It was different from the taste of the meat in the past, but it had a salty taste. Because Jiujiu soaked the meat in fruit juice before roasting it, the meat became moist and refreshing after absorbing the juice. It also had a fruity fragrance, it was simply too delicious.
Originally, she had feigned surprise because she was afraid that Jiujiu would be disappointed, but now, she completely liked it. If it wasn't for the fact that she knew that Jiujiu hadn't eaten, Sha Qing definitely would've eaten all of it by herself.
After eating the roasted meat, she drank the meat soup.
The meat soup was smooth and had a fruity fragrance. It was so delicious that Sha Qing almost swallowed her tongue. After eating and drinking to her fill, Sha Qing took the initiative to clean up the tableware. Jiujiu sat at the door holding the small fruit in a daze.
When Sha Qing came back after cleaning up the kitchen, she saw Jiujiu staring at the small fruit in a daze. She walked over to Jiujiu's side and gently rubbed the top of Jiujiu's head. She asked gently, "What's wrong?"
Jiujiu blinked her beautiful fox eyes and turned her head to look at Sha Qing with a smile, "Was the meal delicious today?"
Sha Qing nodded and said sincerely, "It was delicious."
It was the most delicious thing she had ever eaten.
Jiujiu pursed her lips and said with a smile, "When I went out yesterday, I discovered that these two fruits had a very unique taste. I wondered what it would taste like if I added them to the meat. I didn't expect it to be so delicious."
"It's quite delicious." Sha Qing looked at Jiujiu with a gentle gaze. Who would've thought that these two ordinary fruits from the streets would be so delicious when added to food? However, most beastmen didn't pay much attention to the desire for good food. Only someone like Jiujiu who loved to eat would notice these things.
Thinking that Jiujiu liked to eat, Sha Qing asked again, "Should I tell the others about this?"
Jiujiu nodded, "Of course, good things should be shared."
