Chapter 268: Boss Chi’s cooking skills are ready to be mastered
Ruan Tang took out the cooking utensils, and Lin Yeqing also came to help cook.
Yuri, Lan Xun and several other males went to build a stone stove.
In their human form, the cubs still look like three or four-year-old children.
But he helped his mother pick, wash and cut vegetables very well.
After the ingredients were prepared, Boss Chi volunteered to tell his mother, "Mom, can I apply to cook a dish?"
Ruan Tang smiled and glanced at her daughter, who was not even as tall as the stove. However, she was a mother who knew how to let go. She nodded and asked, "Sure, what dish do you want to cook, honey?"
She pointed at the ingredients prepared on the long table. "Stir-fried squid? Braised exotic animal elbow? Or this spicy lobster? Or something else?"
"Uh... can I make a dish that I researched myself? The wood ear mushroom we found in the forest of the Northern Continent a few days ago? Mo Ran's father taught me how to make it, but I improved it a bit." Boss Chi said, pointing to the soaked and washed wood ear mushrooms.
Ruan Tang was very pleased. Her daughter wasn't at all as spoiled as the other female cubs in the Beast World. She learned everything and did it well. "Okay, then I'll leave the fungus to our eldest brother Chi. Mother is looking forward to your delicious creations."
"Okay, then I'll go prepare it." After getting the approval from his mother, Boss Chi's chubby little face was filled with a smile of joy that he couldn't close his mouth.
Mo Xiaoqi was very curious about what kind of flavor the little snake sister had developed, and how it could be even more delicious than the one made by his father?
"Boss Chi? Little Snake Sister, what delicious food are you going to make?" Mo Xiaoqi caught up with Boss Chi and wanted to find out.
"Hey, it's the sweet and sour and refreshing cold-mixed wood ear mushrooms!" Boss Chi said as he scooped water into the pot.
Mo Xiaoqi couldn't help but salivate at the thought of the sweet, sour, and crispy wood ear mushrooms. "Wow, a cold dish! Are we trying to catch the tail end of the hot season? It's going to rain continuously soon and then it'll be cold. Mom said we should try to eat less cold food when it's cold."
"When you're done, I'll help you taste the dish, sister." Jing Chu came over with the washed black fungus in his hand.
"Shouldn't mother be the first to eat it after it's cooked?" The eldest brother wanted his mother to be the first to taste the delicious food he made.
Jing Chu stretched out his index finger and waved it left and right. "No, no, no, how can you be sure that what you make will be delicious? You must let us taste it first and make sure it is really delicious before asking mother to taste it, right?"
When Jing Chu saw Yi Tian coming over, he blinked his fox eyes and said to her, "Are you right, Third Sister?"
"If you don't blink, I actually think you're quite right, but as soon as you blink, I feel like you're fooling Little Snake Sister, hahahaha."
Yitian laughed as she spoke, feeling that Jingchu's blinking was really funny. "Why did you try to imitate Lingmeng? Really. No matter how much you blink, you can't be as cute and adorable as Lingmeng."
"Alas, ever since Ling Meng and Qi Xiaohua were born, I am no longer mother's most adorable child." Jing Chu pretended to be sad and looked at the sky with a sense of loss.
Mo Xiaoqi shook off his non-existent goosebumps and said with a disgusted expression, "Fourth brother, please stop it. I really can't stand you anymore. Fortunately, Little Fifteen is not here, otherwise, he would definitely beat you to pieces!"
"I'm not that bad. Can you please stop criticizing me like this? I'll become withdrawn." Jing Chu covered his face with his hands.
Lin Yeqing walked over with the ingredients and just happened to hear the cubs' interaction. She couldn't help but burst out laughing and said to Ruan Tang beside her, "Hahahaha, Tangtang, what do you teach your children all day? Why do they seem to know everything?"
Ruan Tang tilted her head, indicating that this was normal. "Just teach them whatever comes to mind. Anyway, let them get exposed to everything."
"Okay, I have to learn from you!"
I used to say that I wanted to learn from Ruan Tang how to educate children, but it turned out that I never seemed to dare to let go and let my children go on their own, and I taught them everything very carefully.
Recently she found that this way of teaching really didn't work, so she decided to let go from now on!
"Ruan Ruan, the wooden house has been built. If there is anything you need my help with, just tell me and I'll do it."
As soon as Long Ming finished building the wooden house, she rushed over to find her partner. They rarely let her cook for them, which made her feel distressed.
"I told you I'm the chef today, so you can just help me." Ruan Tang said quickly when she saw him pick up the pot and was about to start.
……
Ruan Tang, Lin Yeqing and the children had just finished cooking when Chi Yuan and the others came back after finishing their work.
Mo Ran was originally in a hurry to finish his work so that he could come back to help Ruan Tang prepare the food, but he didn't expect them to be so quick and all the food was already on the table.
"Ruan Ruan, we're back." The first thing Bai Lang did when he came back was to check in with his partner.
Chi Yuan, Qi Xuan and others also walked up to her side. Seeing the sweat on her forehead, they felt very distressed and secretly thought that they must try to let her do it in the future.
Those hands are so delicate, if they get burned, they will be heartbroken.
Ruan Tang was distraught by the distressed looks of the men. She pushed them out and said, "What are you looking at? I'm fine, just a little hot. Don't stand here. Go to the forest and find the children to eat."
The males had just found their mates when they were pushed back to find their cubs.
The fathers felt a little resentful.
When I found the cubs in the forest, I chased them around and "trained" them for a long time before coming back.
As soon as the food was served, Boss Chi brought a large bowl of mixed black fungus he had made to his mother. "Mom, this is the mixed black fungus I made. My fourth brother has already tasted it and said it's sour, sweet, crisp and delicious. Mom, please try it!"
"Auntie Ye, you should try it too."
"Okay." The two of them smiled, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece and put it in their mouths.
It tasted sweet and sour, and had a crispy crunch when bitten. Ruan Tang finished a piece of black fungus with great enjoyment, gave her daughter two thumbs up, and said happily, "I declare that my family's eldest brother Chi's cooking skills have been mastered today! This cold black fungus dish is even better than your father Mo Ran's!"
"Mm, very refreshing and goes great with rice!" Lin Yeqing also nodded and praised.
The crisp feeling is like the fungus dancing in your mouth, sour and sweet, you want a second bite after taking one.
After receiving the affirmation from his mother, Chi Laoda felt extremely satisfied and accomplished. His lips couldn't help but turn up, and he said cheerfully, "Hey, thank you, mother, and thank you, Aunt Ye!"
Boss Chi then said to the fathers, "Fathers, uncles, come and try it. Mother and Aunt Ye both said that my cooking is delicious. I can help you cook in the future!"
"Okay." The uncles and aunts certainly gave him face. After all, it had been authenticated by his partner, so the taste must be right.
……
After dinner, the two families returned to their own cabins to rest.
The next morning, Ruan Tang asked his companions to go to the place he had liked to dig a cave.
The adults were responsible for digging caves to prepare for their new home in the next few months, while the children were led by their elders to go to the nearby forest for training every day.
Anyway, with yesterday's experience, Ruan Tang felt relieved.
She knew that her children were gifted. Yesterday, during their first solo hunt, the cubs had reaped a rich harvest.
Lin Yeqing also made up her mind to let her children go with their older brothers and sisters to gain experience. She and Ruan Tang followed from a distance, leaving everything to the children to deal with on their own.
The hot season slowly faded away, and the rainy season suddenly arrived one night.
Ruan Tang sat in the cave (new home) that her friends had just decorated, listening to the sound of rain outside, and praised her friends, saying, "Alang, you guys are amazing! The timing is perfect!"
If the cave had been decorated a day later, they would have had to fall asleep in the wooden house tonight listening to the crackling sound of raindrops hitting the roof.
Moreover, after a heavy rain, the ground becomes soft and their wooden houses have not been treated in any other way, so being exposed to the rain for a long time poses a great safety hazard.
With the arrival of the rainy season, the air became humid and the temperature dropped sharply. Bai Lang covered her with a soft animal skin and sat down beside her before saying, "Luckily, we grabbed some time last night, otherwise it wouldn't be done yet."
Mo Bai poured her a glass of water and handed it to her, then sat back in his seat and continued sewing animal skin skirts for the cubs to wear during the winter.
Ruan Tang really liked Mo Bai's craftsmanship, but the light in the cave was dim at night. She was worried about hurting his eyes, so she reminded him, "Xiao Bai, the rainy season is coming. You can't go out hunting every day when it rains. You should sew during the day. It's too dark in the cave at night. Be careful not to hurt your eyes."
Mo Bai liked the feeling of being cared for by her like this, and his heart felt warm. As he sewed, he said, "We have many cubs, and they grow fast. We need to sew some thick animal skin skirts for them before the cold season comes, otherwise they won't be able to withstand the cold in their human form."
Lingze placed his own female cub on the soft animal hide and came over to help sew. He smiled and said, "Ruanruan, our vision has always been very good. We can see clearly even in the dark. Don't worry. Xiaobai is right. We have dozens of cubs at home, so it's right to prepare something for them all."
Ruan Tang certainly knew that it was right to prepare more clothes for the children. She was just worried about their eyes. But they were also right. Orcs, especially those with superpowers, had very powerful functions in all aspects of their bodies.
She didn't say much.
After distributing today's portion of Mihu flowers and beast crystals to the children and friends, he sat aside with the children and concentrated on thinking about how to bring everyone in the family into the space.
Her two superpowers were upgraded to level six a few months ago and have been improving very slowly since then. Her family has never been short of Mihu flowers and beast crystals, but absorbing one flower and one beast crystal every day doesn't seem to have much effect.
Starting from tomorrow, she won’t be able to go out for training in the heavy rain, and she feels a little worried.
