Chapter 313 Inheritance
"Why, you reacted so strongly when I said I like you?"
When Hei Yao saw her like this, the corners of his mouth curled up almost imperceptibly.
Any reaction is better than no reaction.
After Yu He steadied himself, he felt his heart beating too fast in his chest due to the shock.
She thought she must have been frightened by Hei Yao's sudden confession, otherwise why would it jump so fast.
"You like me? So what?"
Yu He pulled the corner of his mouth, with a bit of dissatisfaction in his tone, "Whether you like me is your own business, it has nothing to do with me."
With that said, she was leaving here.
Obsidian did not stop her. He was not the kind of orc who was very good at guessing people's minds, but he noticed the female's small gesture of pursing her lips after she finished speaking and glancing at him subtly before leaving.
It's not hate, nor is it rejection.
But she just didn't want to accept his confession. Hei Yao lowered his eyes slightly and stood there thinking for who knows how long.
It was not until Yu He and the others were about to sit down to eat that they saw Hei Yao following Yan Wu and walking towards the table.
"Sister, your barbecue is delicious, and you also make fried meat-filled pancakes. But why do you put grass in the pancakes?"
Chuchu likes the food Ji Xue cooks very much. As long as she doesn’t have to eat the same food every day and the food doesn’t taste bad, she doesn’t have high requirements for food.
After all, her family is rich, so when there is something delicious, they are the first to eat it.
So in the eyes of many orcs who come to their home, Chuchu is a good cub who is not picky about food.
Chuchu just doesn't like to eat grass. Since other tiger cubs also show this trait, Chuchu is not special.
Ji Xue looked at the grease stains at the corners of the cub's mouth, wiped them off with a handkerchief, and then replied, "Don't you like it? If you don't like it, I'll pick it out for you. I learned how to make it from other orcs, and it's okay for me to eat it myself."
Because the ape orcs have a wide range of tastes and the white tiger orcs don't like to eat grass, they will also plant some edible plants in the tribe in order to occasionally improve their meals.
"Wow, could this be caused by Sister Mingyue again?"
Chu Chu widened her eyes and said in surprise, "Then she is really amazing."
Hearing this, Yu He smiled and said, "Chu Chu likes to eat. So next time you and your sister go out to play, bring some crystal cores with you. When you get hungry, you can use the crystal cores to buy food from Sister Mingyue."
When Chuchu heard her mother's words, she smiled at her and said, "I know, mother."
Shushu also nodded, "I will, mother."
However, in Shushu's eyes, some of Gong Mingyue's food was not very good. Things made with yellow powder were not as delicious as meat. But that sister always liked to recommend these things to the cubs.
This made Shushu feel very uncomfortable.
Because they are white tiger cubs, not rabbit or fox cubs with mixed tastes. Why do we push to them things they don't like to eat when they want to buy meat?
She had told him many times but he just wouldn't listen. He had to wait until she got angry before he would listen to them.
Ji Xue was still praising Gong Mingyue at this time, "That female can cook a lot of food, and she also taught us how to refine oil. She said that we can use oil to stir-fry and cook vegetables, and of course, fry and grill meat..."
Nowadays, most orcs use oil extracted from the fat of exotic beasts, but Gong Mingyue said that the fruits of some plants can also be used to extract oil after washing, picking and pressing.
Although this matter has not been confirmed, Ji Xue feels that what the female said is very likely to be true.
And if it really works, the White Tiger Tribe will probably reward her with permanent residence in White Tiger City because she has provided the tribe with a way to make money.
Yu He's face showed a hint of surprise. "If plants can be used to refine oil, then wouldn't many small and medium-sized tribes be able to eat oil in the future?"
Ji Xue smiled and nodded, "Yes, if plants can be refined into oil and eaten, the survival ability of many small and medium-sized tribes in the cold season will be greatly improved.
From now on, they will no longer have to worry about starving to death during the cold season because they don’t have enough food.”
Yu He laughed after hearing this, "That's indeed a good thing."
However, I was thinking about a question in my mind: when the orcs of the small tribe can achieve self-sufficiency by developing agriculture, will they still be willing to risk their lives to go out and hunt exotic beasts?
If they reduced their hunting activities, their strength would also decrease sharply. When they encountered a wave of alien beasts in the future, they would still be able to resist them. By then, would Gong Mingyue come up with something like artillery...
No, Yu He shook his head in his heart.
She felt she was thinking too much.
But no matter what happens in the future, what Gong Mingyue is doing now is moving in a beneficial direction for the lives of the orcs.
Even she herself benefited a lot, at least the food became richer day by day.
In that case, Yu He thought about it.
"Speaking of which..."
"Actually, Lord He..."
They both suddenly spoke at the same time.
"You speak first." Yu He said first.
"Master He, please go first." Ji Xue shook her head.
Seeing that she really didn't care who spoke first, Yu He said, "I remember Mingyue has made many kinds of food, some of which are made of yellow powder and plants. I think if it's possible..."
"Master He, do you think these foods can be made into something like the herbal medicine book that Master He made before?"
There was a faint smile on Ji Xue's lips.
When Yu He met her gaze, a strange thought suddenly arose in his mind: "Could the other party have the same idea?"
“Yes, but my idea is to record those edible plants in a separate book, and then briefly mention eating them in the plant introduction, so that the beastmen can understand which plants are edible and what they can be used to eat.
Then, we will open another book to specifically introduce some of the food.”
Ji Xue was very surprised by Yu He's idea, because she had the same idea.
It’s just that she didn’t have a more specific action plan for this matter before, but Yu He gave her a solution that she thought was feasible.
She said excitedly, "If Lord He is willing to do it, Ji Xi and I are willing to follow Lord He and help him accomplish this."
Looking at Ji Xue's expression, it seemed as if she was doing something very important again.
Yu He couldn't help but think of the herbal medicine legend he had made before. What he made this time should not be spread throughout the eight tribes again.
"If you and Ji Xi are willing to help, that would be great. In fact, as for the food, it's not just the food made by Mingyue, but also the food made by you and other orcs. If you know anything about it, you can actually record it."
Yu He thought of the various books she had read in her previous life. Human culture was passed down from generation to generation through word of mouth and books, and she felt that orc culture could also be passed down from generation to generation in this way.
Gong Mingyue can bring modern food and human food culture to the orcs, so she can also help the orcs preserve their own spiritual civilization in her own way.
