Chapter 65: Chapter 61, Let’s Make Food Together!_1 Grandma Shaman gently cleared her throat to intercept Ge Xing’s laughter and glared at him: "Since young Xiu Yan also wants to eat it, let’s organize those in the tribe who did not go out to gather or hunt. Each Orc family will select a member to come to the open ground and learn how to prepare food with Stinky Fruit." Ji Nuan thought for a moment and agreed. It was better to teach the tribe members early so she could do her own stuff. On a clear, sunny morning during the fire season, a large stone pot and numerous small ones were arranged in the open space of the tribe. The Watson Tribe members looked eagerly at the figure in front of the large stone pot. Ji Nuan washed her hands in a bucket next to her. Then she took out a big Stinky Fruit: "Look, everyone. First, we need to crack open the shell of the Stinky Fruit and take out the fruit inside." The Stinky Fruit had a light yellow flesh that emitted a faint sweetness. All the Orcs followed Ji Nuan’s steps meticulously. Taking the prepared stone slab, Ji Nuan placed a piece of fruit flesh on it: "Next, we will smash the large piece of fruit flesh into small pieces and then grind them into a powder in our stone bowl." Ji Nuan effortlessly ended up with a small pile of Stinky Fruit flour. Passing the flour to Fu Yi and showing it to every tribe member: "Everyone, next we will grind the Stinky Fruit in our hands into this kind of powder, then we can proceed to the next step." Upon hearing this, the Orcs hurried home to bring their stone bowls and began grinding the flour. After the Stinky Fruit had been broken into smaller pieces, it was not difficult to grind into flour. Those who came to learn were mostly Orcs. In a short time, the flour was ready. Using the Humming Beast meat that Aunt Ge Rou had graciously provided, Ji Nuan cut a piece of white lard: "Look, everyone, this is the fat from the Humming Beast. If you don’t have a Humming Beast, you can choose the fattest part of other game." "We cut the fat into slices with a stone knife, then stir-fry it in a hot stone pot. You can use a clean wooden stick, like this!" Saying so, she poured the cut slices of meat into the stone pot placed over the fire. After a "sizzle," the rich smell of meat wafted through the open space. The stomachs of the Orcs made noises of hunger. The Orcs quickly followed Ji Nuan’s actions. For a moment, the sizzling sound of stir-frying meat rang out in the open space, and the smell of meat floated above, like a delicious cloud. "After the fat starts to liquefy, pour in your favorite meat and stir-fry. Of course, you can add any fruits or wild vegetables you like." Ji Nuan didn’t mention the Fruit of Divine Punishment. Although Shaman Ama didn’t say why she was temporarily withholding the information about the Fruit of Divine Punishment, Ji Nuan could clearly recall from her recent capture that Ya Gu said he was told about the tribe by Manli. Regaining her thoughts, she picked up a bucket of clean water and poured it into the stone pot: "Next, pour the water into the stone pot and boil it." Although the tribe members didn’t understand why they need to pour water into the delicious meat, they still followed suit. The stone pot took a long time to boil the water. About half an hour later, small bubbles started to appear in the stone pot. After letting it boil for a while longer, Ji Nuan took the bowl full of flour: "Take the flour we just milled and gradually pour the water, stirring it with a wooden stick until it becomes fluffy." After saying this, she looked around. Apart from a few who had ended up making the fluff into dough, most of the tribe members had got it right. "The final step, spread the fluff evenly into the stone pot, making sure to stir as you pour." Ji Nuan quietly added some Fruit of Divine Punishment powder into her pot. The smell that wafted from it made Xiu Yan, Fu Yi, and others swallow their saliva in anticipation. After letting it simmer for a while, she moved the firewood under the stone pot aside: "That’s it; this is the simplest dough soup. "Stinky Fruit can be prepared in many ways. If you want to learn, you can choose few Orcs to come to my cave to learn and then teach everyone else." The Orcs each bowed to Ji Nuan in gratitude. Their heartfelt thanks warmed Ji Nuan’s heart without any words needed. At noon, the open space was bustling. Xiu Yan was happily wagging his meaty tail, burying his head in a stone pot that could fit two of him, and devouring his food. His round, shiny eyes curved into two crescent moons, belying his age and supposed maturity as an adult Orc. The Clan Leader and Grandma Shaman led a group of chubby cubs, sampling here and nibbling there. They were thoroughly enjoying their feast. Contrary to the lively scene on the open ground, Manli’s cave was deadly quiet. Ya Gu was brought back in the early morning. Shaman Ama requested Ji Nuan’s Sharp Tooth Grass Powder and force-fed it to him. Looking at Ya Gu lying weakly on the Beast Skin, Manli felt both pity and panic. The Shaman and the Clan Leader had already discovered her betrayal to the tribe, and she wondered what her fate would be. ··· "Shaman, Clan Leader, someone from the Tumang Tribe is here, saying they want to trade back Ya Gu!"
