Chapter 145: Hygiene is Key
Xiong Fei glanced at him, recalling Hu Wei's expression earlier. He kept them in suspense for a moment, and only after seeing the tigers drooling with desire did he slowly say, "This is a type of cured meat unique to our Cangyan tribe."
Huwei swallowed hard, licking his tiger-like face, "Could we have a taste?"
"We definitely won't eat it for free, we'll trade our own animal meat for it!" Huwei quickly added, pulling out his own dried meat.
When the other big tigers saw what the little clan leader said, they nodded vigorously in agreement!
The big tigers of the Silver Tiger Clan hurriedly ran back to their camp, took out their dried meat, and ran back quickly, holding it in their hands and looking at Xiong Fei with longing eyes.
Looking at their wide-open tiger eyes, Xiong Fei inexplicably thought of the cubs in his own tribe. These pairs of tiger eyes, full of longing, made Xiong Fei pause for a moment.
He was silent for a moment, exchanged glances with Leopard Road who had already transformed back into human form, and then said, "We don't have much either, so I'll give each of you a small bowl of meat."
The tigers' eyes lit up immediately, and they quickly stuffed their meat into the hands of the leopard next to them.
A group of tigers, led by Huwei, obediently lined up beside Xiongfei, sniffing the air from time to time. The closer they got, the more they could feel the impact of the fragrance!
After the cured pork was cooked, Xiong Fei and Zhu Shan took out their small bamboo bowls and gave each of the tigers opposite them a small bowl of cured pork stir-fried with wild vegetables.
Huwei held his small bamboo bowl with great care, reaching out to grab the meat inside.
Zhu Shan quickly stopped him. Hu Wei's hand had just touched the cured meat, which was black and dirty. He was worried about ingesting a lot of bacteria if he reached in and ate it.
He took out a pair of bamboo chopsticks and handed them to Huwei.
Lin Baiyan had already taught the tribe a lot of everyday knowledge, and now the beastmen in the tribe were much more clear-headed and no longer as ignorant and unenlightened as before.
The priest said that there are insects called bacteria in the air, which are invisible to their beastly eyes, but they swarm around them everywhere, so they must be careful with the food they eat.
Cleanliness is a must, and you also need to wash your hands before eating, wash your hair and take a bath every few days, trim your nails, and wash and air out animal skin clothes and blankets.
This can effectively prevent bacterial infection.
Otherwise, if you ingest bacteria along with the bacteria, you might get diarrhea at best, and even die in severe cases!
The beastmen of the Azure Flame Tribe were startled by Lin Baiyan. Even though they were not used to using chopsticks, they tried their best to adapt and would obediently wash their hands before eating.
Even today, they have long since learned how to use chopsticks skillfully.
But Huwei didn't know that. He held up the two wooden sticks with some confusion and asked, "Brother Zhushan, why are you giving me these?"
Are you using this to skewer meat slices?
Zhushan explained how to use chopsticks to them and even demonstrated it himself.
Huwei scratched his head at the complicated method, "Why not just grab it with your hands? Why go through all this trouble?"
They've always eaten like this since they were little, so why are the orcs of the Azure Flame Tribe so particular?
At this point, Zhu Shan gave them a thorough lesson on the seriousness of eating with dirty hands, asking, "Do the orcs in your tribe often get diarrhea?"
"And then there was someone who had persistent diarrhea and vomiting, eventually developed a fever, and ultimately went straight to see the Beast God?"
Huwei frowned. "How did you know?"
With a serious face, Zhu Shan repeated what Lin Baiyan had told them before.
The priest had previously advised that these tigers seemed to be of decent quality, and that they could try to befriend them, as the Azure Flame Tribe also needed friends.
Therefore, Zhushan didn't hide anything.
After hearing what Zhu Shan said, Hu Wei's face turned pale, because the symptoms Zhu Shan described were common in their tribe.
Most of them had diarrhea, but a few who were in poor health vomited and had fevers that couldn't be treated and went directly to see the Beast God.
The old priest studied it for a long time but still couldn't figure out what was going on.
In the end, it can only be attributed to the punishment of the Beast God.
It turns out they were sick...
Seeing the tigers around him who had already received their cured meat and were about to grab it, Huwei quickly shouted, "Stop eating!"
The tigers, who were just about to enjoy their meal, were suddenly deafened by the roar of the tiger's might. They looked up at their little chieftain in a daze.
what happened?
Wasn't it the young clan chief who brought them here to beg for food?
How can you spit out what's already in the tiger's mouth!
The tigers frowned, but dared not disobey the young clan leader, and all stopped what they were doing.
Huwei looked up at the male beastmen whose faces were filled with longing. He glanced at the beastmen of the Cangyan tribe. Each of them had clean animal skin clothing, no dirt under their fingernails, and neat hair.
He looked back at his people's not-so-clean hands and their dirty animal skin skirts, and took a deep breath.
"Go to the river and wash your hands. Come back when your hands are clean. I'll check each one of you!"
His order was inexplicable, but the big tigers are naturally simple-minded and very obedient.
Although they didn't understand the little clan leader's intention, they still obediently ran to the riverbank and washed their hands clean.
Huwei checked their hands one by one.
Only after they passed the test were they allowed to wait aside. After all the tigers had washed their hands, Huwei led them to learn how to use chopsticks with Zhushan.
The tigers felt as if their fingers were brand new, completely disobeying their commands. Some of the bolder ones even tried to voice their dissatisfaction with using chopsticks to the young chieftain.
Before he could even finish speaking, the young clan leader glared at him coldly.
The little clan leader is so fierce! (?д??)!!
They had no choice but to obediently study. After a while, a few clever tigers put two chopsticks together, brought the bamboo bowl to their mouths, and started snoring.
Seeing their companion's actions, the other tigers' eyes lit up, and they imitated him, tearing at the pieces of meat.
The moment the slices of cured meat hit their mouths, the tigers' eyes lit up instantly.
By the God of Beasts!
There's no way meat in the world can taste this good!!!
The tigers quickly clutched their small bamboo bowls tightly and stuffed meat into their mouths with slurping sounds.
Not only the cured meat slices, but the stir-fried wild vegetables were also very fragrant. You know, tigers are carnivores, but the wild vegetables from the Cangyan tribe must have had something added to them, making them crisp, sweet, and not bitter or astringent at all.
There was only a little bit of cured meat in the small bamboo bowl, and the tigers quickly ate it all up, looking at the empty bowl with reluctance.
