Chapter 27 Seafood Feast
After they returned to the thatched hut, Lang Cang placed a clam shell on the fire, turned to the young man, and asked, "What do we need to do?"
Lin Baiyan went up, scooped out some of the cleaned seafood, poured the rest into the clam shells, clapped his hands crisply, and looked up innocently at Lang Cang, "That's good, just wait to eat."
Xiong Fei glanced at Lin Baiyan, then at Lang Cang. The big bear's danger radar immediately detected that the atmosphere seemed off, and he grabbed Ma Yuan, who was about to invite Lin Baiyan to eat roasted lamb leg.
Then he covered the struggling Ma Yuan, silently reducing his and Ma Yuan's presence.
Lang Cang also keenly sensed that the young man seemed to be in a bad mood. He reflected on it and realized that it was probably when they were talking about coming of age...
But how was he supposed to tell Lin Baiyan this?
Why would a male orc and a sub-orc say such things?
Faced with the angry young man, Lang Cang was unusually at a loss. How could he coax him?
Lang Cang recalled how his father used to coax his mother when he was young—by picking flowers? He didn't seem to like flowers.
Food? But Lin Baiyan knew far more about food than he did.
What does he like?
As if he had thought of something, Lang Cang's eyes lit up.
Because he wasn't in a good mood, Lin Baiyan just hastily dumped all the shrimp, crabs, oysters, and other seafood into the container.
He did remember to scoop out the sea fish; fish that aren't scaled and gutted are really hard to eat.
I don't know how Lang Cang cleaned it up, he just brushed it clean like that.
Lin Baiyan took out a small bone knife and began to scrape off the fish scales and remove its internal organs.
Upon seeing this, Lang Cang quickly crouched down beside him and took out his bone knife, saying, "Use this; it's sharper." He seemed quite eager to please.
My father once said that when the orcs are angry, you can't just let them sulk; you have to go over and coax them.
The young man looked at the bone knife in his hand and, thinking that he might as well use it, took it and started using it.
I must say, Lang Cang's bone knife is indeed worthy of being made of some golden-skinned beast; it looks both hard and sharp.
Lang Cang breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that Lin Baiyan was still willing to use his bone knife.
He squatted down next to the young man and used the unused bone knife to process the sea fish, imitating the young man's actions.
While dealing with the situation, she was also secretly glancing at him. How could the young man not feel such an obvious gaze?
He put the fish he was holding aside and looked at Lang Cang. "What are you trying to say?"
Lang Cang quickly shook his head, "It's nothing, it's just..."
He hesitated for a moment, "I wasn't being mean to you just now, it's just..."
Wolf Cang steeled his heart and said directly, "You are still young. Adult matters are usually taught to you by your mother and father. I don't know whether male beastmen and sub-beastmen are the same."
He actually knew, but he was just discussing these things with Lin Baiyan…
Looking at the young man's fair face, he was still somewhat embarrassed to speak.
"You can ask Tu Lin when we get back," he said cautiously, while carefully observing Lin Baiyan's expression.
He didn't know why, but for some reason he just didn't want to make Lin Baiyan unhappy.
He hoped that young people's faces would always be filled with bright smiles.
Seeing how cautious Lang Cang was, the young man quietly observed him for a moment, then sighed softly, "I'm not angry."
"Okay, I was a little angry just now." But seeing Lang Cang's expression, he wasn't so angry anymore.
The young man pointed to a spot the size of a pinhead with his finger. "That's all. I'm not angry anymore."
Seeing that Lin Baiyan's expression didn't seem fake, Lang Cang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After the two cleaned the sea fish, Lin Baiyan used another river clam shell to make a pot of rich fish soup. The milky white aroma wafted out, and combined with the fragrance of the seafood inside the clam shell, Xiong Fei and Ma Yuan slowed down their munching on the mutton.
Lin Baiyan also stared longingly at the seafood inside the clam shells; he had been eating roasted meat and meat soup for the past few days.
It's called meat soup, but there are actually far more wild vegetables than meat in it. It's all soupy and watery, and it's still not enough to fill you up. To this day, he still doesn't have a complete estimate of his appetite.
However, one thing he was certain of was that his appetite was twice as large as it was on Earth. At least since he transmigrated, he had never been full!
The young man thought aggrievedly, "Who is this kind person who travels through time and gets worse and worse, unable to even fill their stomach!"
There is no greater example of a chosen one who has suffered a great injustice than this.
Wolf Cang and the other male orcs quickly finished their share of mutton. Wolf Cang patted his stomach, feeling that he was only about three-tenths full.
They hunt every day, requiring a lot of physical activity, and their appetite is twice that of the orcs. Even the young men don't get enough to eat, so you can imagine what kind of life the male orcs lead.
So now, the beastmen are staring intently at the fish soup and seafood inside the clam shells, their mouths practically watering.
Under the eager gazes of the male beastmen, Lin Baiyan stepped forward to examine the creatures and saw that the shellfish inside the river clams had already opened, and the shrimp and crabs were also turning red.
As they got closer, the aroma of seafood became even more enticing. The young man took a deep, satisfied breath and used a stick to stir the shellfish at the bottom to the top.
Then he stirred the river clam shells that were cooking fish soup next to him.
He used chopsticks made of thin wooden sticks to pick up an oyster that was already slightly open. The palm-sized oyster was placed in front of him, and you could see how plump the oyster meat was from the opening.
Lin Baiyan flicked the oyster shell off with his hand, revealing the tender and plump oyster meat inside. Ignoring everything else, the young man stuffed the meat directly into his mouth without even blowing on it.
Lin Baiyan's eyes widened as the tender, juicy oyster meat went straight into his mouth.
Hot! So hot! The young man kept breathing out hot air, the oyster meat seemed to dance in his mouth, but even so, he didn't spit it out.
After it cooled down a bit in his mouth, Lin Baiyan bit into the oyster meat and sighed with satisfaction, "So fresh!"
The fresh, juicy oysters burst open in the young man's mouth.
High-end ingredients often require only the simplest cooking methods. Indeed, boiling and steaming are the greatest respect for fresh seafood!
Lin Baiyan felt that he could eat a whole pot of food on its own without any dipping sauce!
The other orcs involuntarily swallowed when they saw this.
Lang Cang stared intently at Lin Baiyan without blinking.
The young man, with an oyster still in his mouth, slurred, "Come on, come on, this is really good."
The young man's words were like a signal to start something. Several male orcs rushed forward. Lang Cang took the lead and imitated Lin Baiyan, using a wooden stick to pick out a scallop, breaking open the shell and about to put it in his mouth.
Lin Baiyan quickly stopped him, "Blow on it, it burned me to death just now."
Xiong Fei and Ma Yuan also started showing off their seafood, just like everyone else.
Seeing this, Lin Baiyan smiled, picked out a few more oysters with his chopsticks, set them aside to cool, and then picked out a few prawns and crabs.
It must be said that the seafood here is really huge. The artificially farmed seafood on Earth can't compare to this at all. Each one is the size of a palm, and the taste is even more delicious.
Lang Cang picked up a crab, circled it around, not knowing how to eat it, and was about to put it directly into his mouth.
Lin Baiyan quickly stopped him, "You can't eat like that, it will hurt your stomach and intestines."
Lang Cang waved his hand dismissively, "It's okay, I can chew anything harder than this too."
It seems that this is indeed the case; orcs have exceptionally good teeth. The young man once saw a five- or six-year-old wolf cub easily bite through a bone.
That being said, it's still best to be careful.
He demonstrated how to eat the cooled shrimp and crab, first handing a peeled crab to Lang Cang, "Here you go."
Then he handed one to Xiong Fei and one to Ma Yuan. Only then did he begin peeling his own.
The orcs thanked them and began to eat heartily. After finishing their meal, the orcs stared intently at the sea, their eyes filled with a hint of "fierceness".
