Chapter 146: All performed well
As soon as Ruan Tang came out of the bathroom, the children surrounded her and told her about the interesting things that happened in the forest today.
She listened carefully to everything and interacted happily with the children.
"Stop disturbing your mother. Go over and sit down." Bai Lang brought in the last bowl of food and put it aside, saying to the chirping pups.
"It's time to eat! I need to eat more today, mother. You don't know how much time and energy I spent chasing that bleating beast. My claws are almost out of strength. Fortunately, my elder brother is helping me." Mo Xiaojiu raised his paws to show his mother, and looked at his elder brother with his black and white eyes, which were full of pride and happiness.
"Does it still hurt? Let your fourth sister heal you." Ruan Tang took a look at her son's paw, which was a little red and swollen. She then said to Mo Xiaosi beside her, "Xiaosi, can you use your special powers to help heal your brother?"
Mo Xiaosi squeezed over, took a look at his ninth brother's claws, and ruthlessly exposed his little trick and said, "Okay, mother, I said I would treat her when she was taking a bath just now, but he refused. I knew he wanted to keep it for you to see and make you feel distressed!"
"Fourth sister, why are you like this? I don't mean to play the victim. I didn't ask you to treat me just now because I didn't want to trouble you. Besides, I'm a male! This little injury will heal in no time!"
"Give it to me! Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Mo Xiaosi didn't know whose personality she resembled. She became a little irritable after just a few words. She pulled her ninth brother's claw and placed it on the table in front of her. Her claws condensed with supernatural powers, and the green light slowly swept across Mo Xiaojiu's claws. The places that passed by recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Mo Xiaojiu instantly felt his claws working again, and flattered her, "Wow, thank you, Fourth Sister. I have to say, it's really convenient for our family to have your wood-type ability. We don't need to go to Granny Orange and the Medicine Girl for minor illnesses or pains."
"That was also given to me by my mother," Mo Xiaosi put away his special ability and playfully blinked his cute big eyes at his mother and said, "Am I right, mother?"
Ruan Tang stroked Mo Xiaosi's round, furry head, curved her eyebrows, and said softly, "This is all the result of your diligent practice of supernatural powers." She raised her eyes to look at all her children, and said in a louder voice, "So this is why Mother has made you practice your supernatural powers from a young age. Because only when we are strong enough can we be our own masters. In the future, we can do whatever we want, and we can also refuse loudly if we don't want to do something. This is our confidence. Do you understand, my dears?"
"We understand, thank you, Mom!" the cubs answered in unison.
"Okay, let's eat." Ruan Tang always spoke to her children in a timely manner because they were all very smart children.
"Great, let's eat, Mom!"
"Mom, have dinner."
Kids, please sit down properly and let mother start eating first.
Ruan Tang picked up a piece of pork ribs from the bowl in front of her, took a bite, and said to everyone in the family with a smile, "Let's sit down and eat. Just fill your stomachs."
The children were really tired today. After their mother announced that dinner was ready, there was no other sound at the table except the crunching of meat.
Her friends all put her favorite food into her bowl. She was also hungry, so she ate seriously for a while before she remembered something.
She asked, "How are the slave beastmen we brought out performing today?"
This question was asked to Chi Yuan. Today he took the children and the slave orcs to the forest for training.
Chi Yuan put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with an animal hide before saying, "They're all performing well. Although their abilities are low, they're all very hardworking and smart. However, their bodies have been tortured for a long time and haven't had enough to eat, so they're all very weak. We'll have to take our time."
Being able to endure hardships and being smart, that meant she had made the right choice. Ling Lingjiu had always been reliable. Ruan Tang nodded and said, "Well, that's good. Then, when you hand over the tasks every day, you should explain their respective situations. That way, the person who takes them out the next day will know the specific arrangements."
"Okay, we got it," the partners replied in unison.
"Where are the slave orcs who are pioneering the new land? How are they? They should have no problem with their physical strength." She came back late yesterday, but after dinner she asked Mo Ran and Qi Xuan to deliver medicine to those slave orcs.
Those medicines are from her first aid kit and are very useful for external injuries.
Lingze said: "They are all very hardworking and have a clear vision for work. We don't need to push them too much, they will always find something to do."
Mo Bai also said, "Well, they all learn things quickly and are able to endure hardships. At noon, I asked them to eat and rest for a while before continuing. They said that doing this kind of work is not tiring. They wolfed down their food without taking a break and then plunged into the fields to work hard, saying that they wanted to be worthy of the huge amount of food they ate!"
"Well, it's good that they know how to be grateful, but you also have to keep an eye on them and don't let them get too tired. After all, they're still growing and have suffered so much before. Don't let this affect their lifespan."
If the body is too depleted and you work so hard, it will indeed affect your life span. Ruan Tang doesn't want to be Huang Shiren or Zhou Baopi.
"Okay, Tangtang, come eat quickly. How was your day? I heard from Brother Lang that you guys ran a long way and must be exhausted. He also said that you only had some dry barbecue for lunch. Are you hungry?"
Mo Bai was already familiar with Ruan Tang's preferences. He took a bowl and a ladle and poured her a bowl of fragrant exotic beast soup. He placed it in front of her and said, "I stewed this at noon. I stewed it all afternoon. The exotic beast meat is soft and fragrant. The soup is all white. I added some green leaves, so it's not greasy at all. Tangtang, have some."
Ruan Tang picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful into her mouth. Her taste buds were instantly stimulated by the taste, which was very similar to the best mutton soup she had ever eaten in her previous life. She took a few more sips and said contentedly, "This is so delicious, Xiaobai, your cooking skills are almost catching up with Ah Ran's now!"
As her partner, Mo Bai was of course happy that the food he made was what she liked. This is a skill that every male should have in taking care of a female!
Mo Baijun smiled and put a piece of tender meat into her bowl before saying, "As long as Tangtang likes it, it's good. But I still need to learn my brother's cooking skills. He taught me this soup, and it took me a long time to learn it."
"You must have added something else in it. This is not the taste of the soup made by A Ran." Ruan Tang smacked her lips, savoring the taste of the soup.
Mo Bai knew his partner would definitely be able to taste something different. The smile on his handsome face grew even wider. Gongziyin sounded very pleased as he said, "Tangtang's mouth is so amazing! I was inspired by Hu Qing's partner making sugar-roasted chestnuts. He was able to create a different flavor, so I thought about improving it. It seems the result is good. Tangtang's love for it is the biggest affirmation."
"Well, it tastes very good, and the meat is more flavorful." Ruan Tang gave a fair evaluation after eating a piece of stewed meat.
"Really? Mom, is that soup really that delicious? I was so busy chewing on the sizzling, greasy barbecue that I didn't even have time to drink the soup. Mom said it was so delicious, so I have to have a big bowl too!" Jing Chu chewed on the barbecue while listening to the conversation between his mother and father with his ears pricked up.
"Well, it's delicious. My kids who have eaten too much barbecue and feel sick of it can drink a bowl of this soup. The most important thing is the vegetable leaves in the soup. You should eat more. They are fragrant, tasty and refreshing." Her children are all carnivores and seldom touch green vegetable leaves. She would criticize them from time to time.
"Oh, we get it, mother. We must eat the vegetable leaves. We must eat them." The little ones always listen to their mother in everything, but every time she asks them to eat vegetable leaves, their tone seems a little perfunctory.
"Eat it well. I'll watch. If anyone dares not eat the leaves, I'll tell your mother." Chi Yuan turned around and warned the cubs.
"..." After the cubs finished drinking the soup, they had no choice but to eat all the leaves at the bottom of the bowl, sticking out their tongues while eating. These wild leaves were not meant for carnivorous orcs, but shouldn't they be eaten by herbivorous orcs?
