Chapter 20 Technical Personnel
Wolf Cang squatted in front of the small stone pot, watching the young man tend to it. As he watched the young man play with the cubs, his eyes darkened.
Finally, Lin Baiyan made a large bowl of cold dish with purslane and wild onions!
Two dishes and a soup!
"Dinner's ready!" The young man called out to those around him after sprinkling a little salt into the broth.
Then they saw that the orcs had all gathered around the two stone pots, staring longingly at Lin Baiyan.
They had already smelled the delicious aroma, but since they weren't cubs, they couldn't go up to beg for food.
I'm almost unable to resist the craving now.
Each person receives two stone bowls: one containing potatoes and cold purslane salad, and the other containing meat broth.
Because there isn't much meat, each person can only choose one type of meat from the broth or the stew.
As usual, the cubs are given first.
Huqiu got his share of food. He was fast and chose stewed meat. Looking at the golden potatoes in the bowl, Huqiu took a bite and was amazed by the taste of the potatoes!
This thing called potato, stewed until soft and fluffy, seems to be soaked in the flavor of stewed meat!
Delicious!
Huqiu couldn't bear to look at the lonely little potato in his bowl, so he carefully moved it aside and decided to eat other dishes first. Then, the more he ate, the more amazed he was. How come the meat soup was so delicious today?
Tiger Hill's idea was shared by the other orcs; they hadn't expected food to be prepared this way!
Even the meat soup that he had eaten countless times before became even more delicious in Lin Baiyan's hands.
Lu Xiao was constantly surprised as he ate the food made from yellow peel fruit and pain grass.
The herb *Pain* seems to change the flavor of food when added to it, actually making the broth taste better!
Only then did he understand why Lin Baiyan was so determined to find the Pain Grass!
"Alright, they'll go find lots of Pain Grass tomorrow!" Lu Xiao clenched his fist with a determined look.
Looking at the satisfied expressions on the faces of his people, Lin Baiyan knew that they were very pleased with the meal.
The wolf beside him was wolfing down its food. As a male beastman, the stronger he was, the more food he needed.
Not only male orcs, but also the sub-orcs of this world consume far more meat than he knew. According to Lin Baiyan's own estimation, if he ate his fill, he could eat at least two pounds of meat!
Lin Baiyan guessed that it was because the variety of food was too limited, so these carbohydrates were particularly important at this time.
If they could find carbohydrates like barley, wheat, and corn, the orcs might not need to eat so much meat anymore.
But it's too early to think about these things now. The young man bit the chopsticks made of wooden sticks and took a sip of hot meat soup.
Well, he's quite content now.
It's only been two days since he transmigrated, and who would have thought he'd be eating two dishes and a soup so fresh and healthy!
After the meal, Lin Baiyan gathered everyone together and told them about his idea of planting potatoes.
Everyone had just tasted the delicious potatoes, so they all agreed with Lin Baiyan's suggestion.
However, many orcs were a bit confused. They could understand each word the priest spoke, but when put together, they felt a little bewildered.
A sub-orc asked curiously, "Is growing potatoes similar to raising them, just like the priest mentioned?"
“That’s right!” The young man gave the orc an approving look, and the orc blushed a little. How come he hadn’t noticed before that their priest was really good-looking?
Lu Xiao was a little puzzled. "But we can feed the Rainbow Phoenix Chickens insects and leaves. What are we going to feed the potatoes? Plants don't have mouths."
"Good question!" The young man gave Lu Xiao a thumbs up again, and Lu Xiao chuckled a little shyly.
Lin Baiyan explained, "It's about planting sprouted potatoes in the ground, watering them, and catching the bugs. That way, we can get lots and lots of potatoes!"
Upon hearing Lin Baiyan's words, the beastmen's eyes lit up, as if they could already see a mountain of potatoes in front of them.
"Then let's plant them!" Lang Cang also ate the potatoes and thought they tasted good.
The beastmen also strongly agreed.
After the meal, everyone gathered around the fire, and Lin Baiyan taught the beastmen how to weave baskets. Today, the gathering team had collected a lot of willow vines to take back to the cave.
The cubs surrounded the adults, who would occasionally pull a vine at them, keeping them very busy. Even the wolf cubs were playing and playing instead of curling up to sleep.
Looking at the little cubs jumping around energetically, Lin Baiyan chuckled to himself, thinking, "Could it be that they weren't getting enough to eat before and were sleeping all the time, so they didn't have the energy to play?"
Lin Baiyan was amused by his own thoughts, and then looked at the beastmen who were working hard to weave baskets.
The young man discovered that while Monkey Forest, Fox River, and Fox Shadow were also learning basket weaving very quickly, perhaps due to some racial talent.
Especially in Hujiang, after learning it once, one can basically weave a complete basket on their own.
Lin Baiyan leaned closer to observe Hu Jiang's movements. Hu Jiang sensed Lin Baiyan's approach and became somewhat nervous, but still continued to weave according to his method.
In no time, they produced a basket that was almost identical to the one woven by Lin Baiyan.
The young man looked at him in surprise, "Fox River, you're amazing!"
Fox Jiang was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer, but Fox Shadow next to him was more lively and said with a smile, "Of course, brother is very skillful!"
"Whether it's polishing stone pots and bowls, or making straw ropes and kneading animal hides, my brother can do it all well!"
In Fox Shadow's view, although Fox Jiang does not have particularly strong hunting abilities, his combat skills are far superior to others. It's just a pity that in the orc world where combat strength is the main factor, people like Fox Jiang are not valued.
Hearing Fox Shadow's words, Lin Baiyan was filled with respect, "You know so much!"
This is a true technical talent!
Lin Baiyan remembered that the tribe didn't have winnowing baskets or racks to dry bamboo shoots.
He looked at Hu Jiang gently and said, "We need some racks and trays to dry bamboo shoots. Can you make those?"
Hu Jiang hadn't expected there would be a use for him, and he said awkwardly, "Could you tell me what it looks like?"
Lin Baiyan simply made him a small winnowing basket to show him.
"As for the frame, it's just big enough to fit this winnowing basket; you can use a piece of wood." The young man gave him a brief description of what the frame looked like.
After thinking for a moment, Hu Jiang said confidently, "Okay, I think I understand."
Lin Baiyan was very happy. "Then I'll go tell Lang Cang to leave you two orcs to move the knot tree."
"And stone bowls, these are too heavy to hold and difficult to polish, so they can be replaced with knotted wood."
Fox River pondered the appearance of the knot tree, thinking about using it to make a bowl...
How come the White Flame Priest is so smart?
How come he didn't think of that before!
Fox River rarely receives such attention, especially since this person is their current priest.
He couldn't wait to make what Lin Baiyan wanted.
