I woke up to find myself transmigrated into a disabled child.

Chapter 75 Another World Version of the Noodle Press

Letting out a breath, Lei Xiu squatted down as well. "What are you busy with? I'll help you out."

"Hmm, no need, I'll be done soon, there's only a little left." Lezhi wasn't being polite; there wasn't much work to do anyway, and Maoqiu was even standing on the shelf pretending to sleep. "Why don't you see if any other crops are ripe? You can pick them all; there's a gathering in the tribe tonight, so it'll be good to use them up."

"Okay." Without asking what the clan gathering was about, Lei Xiu immediately got the instructions and began to get started.

The two worked together and quickly finished tending the vegetable garden. After a quick wash and changing into clean clothes, Lezhi followed the route Leyou had led her along in her memory, and successfully brought Lei Xiu to the main square.

They weren't early; the square was already bustling with people preparing food for their evening gathering. Le Jing was in charge of distributing the food that night. Seeing Le Zhi arrive with Lei Xiu, he quickly waved for Le Zhi to come over.

"Lezhi, this way."

"Hey, you're here." Seeing Le Jing waving at him, Le Zhi seemed to have found his pillar of support. He grabbed Lei Xiu's arm, with the fluffy ball on his head, and walked quickly through the crowd to Le Jing.

"Le Jing, it's so lively today! Do you need any help?" Le Zhi asked with a smile, looking at the mountain of food piled up behind Le Jing.

"No need, I can manage here. You guys go have fun. The clan leader might have to give some notices today. Don't be afraid, we'll all be here for you, okay?" Le Jing gave Le Zhi a meaningful look at the taciturn Lei Xiu behind her and gave Le Zhi a special reminder.

From Le Jing's expression and words, Le Zhi seemed to guess what the clan leader wanted to say tonight. Turning to look at Lei Xiu, whose face was flickering in and out of focus under the light and shadow, Le Zhi nodded to indicate that she understood.

"Hey, here, this is your portion of food. Lei Xiu, right? This is yours. By the way, Le You and the others have arrived and should still be in their usual spot. Go ahead."

With a wave, Le Jing pointed out the direction to Le Zhi, then turned to greet the other tribesmen. Seeing that Le Jing was busy, Le Zhi didn't linger. Seeing that Lei Xiu had already packed up the supplies, Le Zhi pulled Lei Xiu along to join Le You.

In the same spot as before, Leyou had already started a fire. Seeing Lezhi arrive with Leixiu, Leyou quickly waved to Lezhi.

"Lezhi, here, here."

"Leyou, you're here so early."

Having already had the experience of dining together once, Lezhi was much more at ease this time. She went to the counter, took out the food, sorted it into categories, and made a rough list of the menu in her mind before starting to cook.

"Zhizhi, I'll help too."

Since Lei Xiu volunteered, Le Zhi naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony. He sent Lei Xiu to chop vegetables and mince meat while Le Zhi started making the seasonings, which is the soul of cooking.

Today is a mushroom feast, and the variety of mushrooms is dazzling for Lezhi. In the past, the tribe usually roasted mushrooms or cooked them with meat, and Lezhi plans to try that method this time as well.

However, the ones he gets are all seasoned versions, unlike the plain ones before. Right now, Lezhi only has scallions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers, so he simply made barbecue sauce. He might try making dry seasonings later if he finds peppercorns, Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, fennel, or other spices.

The barbecue sauce with the added kiwi fruit had a rich flavor, and Lezhi was very satisfied after trying it. He also brought some starch over tonight. He shared some of the starch he made with Leju and Leyou, and kept a lot for himself, which should last until the end of summer. When they arrive in Baizang, he can make it again.

Lei Xiu, who was in charge of chopping vegetables and meat, was also very efficient. The stone fruit was cut into long strips according to Lezhi's requirements, and all kinds of mushrooms were cleaned and cut open for easy grilling. Needless to say, the meat they were assigned today was insect meat from a type of insect with wing bones.

This was the first time Lezhi had ever seen insect meat with bones, so he decided to use it to make a pot of bone broth. With the bone broth, the noodle soup could be served. Since Leju had wanted to learn how to eat starch before, he could teach him this time as well.

Leju had also arrived by the fire pit. He and Leyou worked together to set up several pots, and the stone slab was already in place. Leju was instructed to cook bone broth, and then the barbecue seasoning was given to Leyou so he could start grilling. Lezhi himself began to prepare the vermicelli.

The starch is mixed with boiling water and kneaded into a dough. This step requires someone with strong arms, so Lei Xiu was pulled in by Le Zhi to help.

"Lei Xiu, you come here. Just rub it hard like I just did."

"it is good."

Seeing that Lei Xiu quickly got the hang of it and was kneading with impressive skill, Le Zhi nodded with satisfaction. After washing his hands, he told Le You what to do, then squeezed through the crowd to find Le Zhong.

After acquiring the starch, he had been thinking about making vermicelli, so he had specifically asked Le Zhong to make something for him. A few days had passed, and it should be ready by now.

"Uncle Le Zhong..." Le Zhi saw Le Zhong talking to his clansmen from afar, raised his hand to greet Le Zhong, and ran over quickly.

"Hey, Lezhi." Although Lezhi's height has increased significantly after he returned to the Hui tribe, he is still like a dwarf among the generally tall Lingyu tribe. However, the advantage is that he is also agile.

The clansmen would make way for Lezhi when they saw him, so Lezhi made little effort to walk through the crowd and reach Lezhong.

"Slow down, I'll stay right here. Be careful not to choke if you run so fast." Le Zhong reached out to steady Le Zhi, who was almost unable to stop, and handed him a white juice fruit. Although he was nagging, his eyes were full of joy at seeing his own cub.

"Hey, I know."

Lezhi naturally accepted the white juice fruit and put it away. He was already used to being fed by the elders of the tribe from time to time. He only learned later that the white juice fruit, which has a milky taste, is used by all tribes to feed their young. Generally, as long as there are young children in the tribe, the adult tribesmen will prepare some to feed the young children at any time.

After returning to his tribe, according to incomplete statistics, almost every young and adult member of the tribe who had seen Lezhi had fed him, mostly white fruit juice and various kinds of berries, so Lezhi never lacked fruit.

Because it was fed so much, Lezhi went from being embarrassed to refuse at first to eventually getting used to it and instinctively accepting food from anyone. There was no way around it; the tribe wouldn't accept a cub refusing food. If a cub refused, they would simply find another way to feed it.

"Uncle Le Zhong, I came to ask if the thing I asked you to make last time is finished?"

"Hehe, I knew you wanted this. Of course, that's great. Here, I brought it with me today. Even if you hadn't asked, I would have brought it to you later." Le Zhong chuckled as he took out the tools Le Zhi had ordered and placed them on the workbench for Le Zhi to examine.

"Come and see how it is, is it the same as what you said?" Le Zhong waved his hand, signaling Le Zhi to check.

Lezhi didn't stand on ceremony. He stepped forward and looked the strangely shaped thing up and down, left and right, and even tried to operate it. After confirming that it was similar to what he remembered, he nodded in response.

"Yes, this is it. Uncle Lezhong is the best." Lezhi sweetly flattered Lezhong, put the things away, and then said to Lezhong, "By the way, Uncle, I'm going to make something delicious later. It's something you haven't tried before. Remember to come over when you have time, I'll save it for you."

"Okay, okay, I got it." With a beaming smile, Le Zhong waved and watched Le Zhi swim through the crowd like a fish until she disappeared from sight before turning his gaze away.
