Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder's Daily Rise to Power and Face-Slapping

Chapter 282 Slapping the Selfish Orc in the Face 11

Only after seeing these foods did Leng Yuexing finally understand what kind of world she lived in.

This is a world where civilization is just beginning. The fact that food can be cooked is already a sign of progress. For the previous hundred years, orcs probably ate raw food.

Leng Yuexing couldn't help but ask, "Do all the orcs in the tribe eat this?"

Xuan leaned against the door with his arms crossed and laughed, "Of course not. The tribal chief's food is prepared by a special orc, so it is naturally different from what the other orcs eat."

"What do the other orcs eat?" Leng Yuexing asked curiously.

Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Female orcs mostly eat cooked wild vegetables, while male orcs eat both raw and cooked meat."

"Raw meat?" Leng Yuexing looked at Xuan in surprise. "Why would you eat raw meat?"

"Naturally, it's because of different tastes; some orcs prefer to eat raw meat," he said casually.

Leng Yuexing looked at him curiously, "And what about you?"

“Me? I’m fine with both raw and cooked meat,” Xuan replied with a smile.

Leng Yuexing glanced at the wooden buckets on the ground. One bucket contained cooked wild vegetables, but they smelled bitter. The other bucket contained cooked meat, but it smelled unbearable.

He pointed to the wooden bucket containing cooked meat and said, "Do you want to eat this cooked meat? I'll just eat the wild vegetables."

"Eat!" Xuan walked to Leng Yuexing's side with a smile, took a light sniff of the cooked meat, and said with a smile, "As expected, it was specially made for the chief. The cooked meat tastes better than the meat eaten by other orcs."

"This tastes better than other foods?" Leng Yuexing's voice couldn't hide her surprise.

Xuan looked at Leng Yuexing strangely. Only then did Leng Yuexing realize that he was unfamiliar with everything about the tribe, which inevitably aroused Xuan's suspicion.

Ke Xuan merely raised an eyebrow at him before saying, "After you finish eating, I'll take you to see it, and you'll understand."

"Okay." After Leng Yuexing finished speaking, she turned around, went into the cave, took out two wooden bowls, and handed them to Xuan.

"I couldn't find any chopsticks, so I'll make two pairs myself." After Leng Yuexing finished speaking, without waiting for Xuan's reply, she broke off a long branch from a nearby tree and then used a stone knife from the cave to polish the branch.

Two pairs of chopsticks were quickly formed. Leng Yuexing handed one pair to Xuan, and then began to eat the vegetables from the wooden bucket herself.

Xuan imitated Leng Yuexing, clumsily using chopsticks to pick up meat from the wooden bucket. After a while, he also became familiar with how to use chopsticks.

As he ate his meat, he casually remarked, "These chopsticks are very useful. I can teach the orcs in the tribe how to make them, so they won't have to eat with their hands anymore."

Eat it with your hands...

Leng Yuexing thought it was because he couldn't find the chopsticks hidden in the cave, but she didn't expect it was because the orcs in the tribe ate with their hands.

He didn't explain to Xuan why he knew how to use chopsticks, but just chuckled and said, "Okay, I'll teach them how to make and use these chopsticks in a little while."

As Leng Yuexing finished speaking, the two smiled at each other. Xuan trusted Leng Yuexing, so he didn't care why she knew these things.

He would fully support whatever Leng Yuexing did, and even he himself was somewhat surprised when he realized how strong this trust was.

Leng Yuexing's trust in Xuan was nothing new; after all, the two had experienced many worlds together. Even though Xuan no longer had his memories, the habits that were once etched into his soul could not be easily changed.

Leng Yuexing swallowed the most unpalatable meal she had ever had in years.

He knew that this food was hard-won, so he was even less likely to waste it. Instead, he forced himself to swallow all the bitter wild vegetables.

He also noticed that orcs ate far more than humans.

If he were a human, he couldn't possibly eat that whole bucket of wild vegetables.

But now, after eating this bucket of wild vegetables, he still feels a little hungry.

No wonder the orc who brought him food brought him two buckets; it wasn't an extra portion, but exactly the amount an orc would eat.

After thinking for a moment, he looked up at Xuan, who was enjoying his meal, and asked, "I'm afraid this amount of meat isn't enough for you?"

Xuan swallowed the meat in his mouth and said with a light laugh, "I have a big appetite. After I finish the food distributed by the tribe, I will go into the forest to find some more food."

Leng Yuexing nodded, "Then after we've dealt with the chopsticks, I'll go with you!"

Xuan smiled and nodded. He finished the rest of the meat in a few bites. After the two cleaned the wooden bucket, they carried it to the tribal square.

At this moment, the tribal square was bustling with activity as everyone lined up to receive food.

Some orcs found an open space, sat down, and started eating, while others carried their food back to their caves.

However, because the food was prepared in such a simple way—almost just cutting up the prey and boiling it in water—the square was filled with an unpleasant smell.

Leng Yuexing forced herself to adapt, then walked to the high platform in the tribal square and told everyone how to make and use chopsticks.

The beastmen then discovered the benefits of using chopsticks; they no longer had to get their hands dirty and greasy, and using chopsticks to pick up meat was indeed much more convenient.

After most of the beastmen understood how to make and use chopsticks, Leng Yuexing and Xuan walked together into the forest outside the tribe.

As we entered the forest, it began to get dark. Some of the plants started to glow, and tiny, glowing insects flew around, making the whole forest look beautiful and uniquely interesting.

Leng Yuexing had never seen many of the trees and flowers in the forest before. Most of the trees were incredibly tall, and trees that could be encircled by three people were found throughout the entire forest.

He and Xuan appeared so small in this forest.

The amazement in Leng Yuexing's eyes made them sparkle.

Xuan couldn't help but stare at Leng Yuexing, unable to take his eyes off him.

He carefully looked after Leng Yuexing, gently reminding her when she tried to touch dangerous plants, ensuring she wouldn't get hurt.

When Leng Yuexing couldn't resist picking a red, pointed fruit, he stopped her, saying, "This fruit isn't poisonous, but its juice can make people cry."

Upon hearing this, Leng Yuexing looked at the fruit thoughtfully, then picked it and, before Xuan could react, instantly put it in her mouth and took a bite.

"Moonstar! Spit it out quickly!" Xuan said anxiously.

Leng Yuexing took out the fruit, hissed, and said, "So spicy! This really is a chili pepper!"

"Chili peppers?" Xuan asked, puzzled.

Leng Yuexing smiled and said, "Help me pick more of these fruits, and I'll make you something delicious later."

Upon hearing this, Xuan immediately began picking the chili peppers that Leng Yuexing had mentioned. After picking six or seven, Leng Yuexing finally told him to stop.

Afterwards, Xuan hunted a small prey in the forest, removed all the fur from its body, and handed it over to Leng Yuexing.

Leng Yuexing took the prey and, to Xuan's astonishment, used a stone knife to cut open its belly and then pulled out its internal organs.

“These internal organs are edible, and very nutritious!” Xuan couldn’t help but say.

As Leng Yuexing cut the meat on the stone slab, she nodded and said, "It's edible, but these offal should be cooked separately. If they're cooked with the meat, the meat will taste terrible, just like the communal meals in the tribe."

Xuan didn't understand why the meat would taste better after the internal organs were removed, until he tasted the roasted meat with chili peppers that Leng Yuexing had prepared.

He had never tasted such delicious food before!

He stared at Leng Yuexing in shock, his cheeks puffed out, his face showing the joy of eating delicious food, and a tear rolled down his cheek.

Leng Yuexing chuckled lightly, "It's not so delicious that you'll cry."
