Building a Civilization and Raising Cubs in the Beast World – Chapter 30

Chapter 30

“Then I’ll make you a non-spicy one.” Whether it was hot pot or barbecue, he wanted a non-spicy version. Although chili peppers were delicious, not everyone liked them. There were people in the city that loved spicy food but didn’t like it, not to mention these two tribes who had never eaten it before.

The other hunting team came back a little later. Their prey were two wild boars, one big and one small. However, they were in much better condition. For orcs, a short rest would recover their strength. Generally, everyone would keep themselves in a relatively good condition to facilitate dealing with various emergencies. The young wolves around adulthood can waste their strength unscrupulously as long as they have the support of adult wolves.

Long before Langze and others set out to hunt, the others began to prepare to make a fire and boil water, and Bai Tu took out several stone pots to make hot pot base. It was too troublesome to fry one dish at a time in each pan, so he planned to fry them all and then divide them.

With chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns, the flavors that can be prepared increase suddenly. Three types of spicy food are made: mild, medium and spicy. Most of the dishes are mildly spicy, while the least are spicy. However, the most popular one is the clear soup pot. After all, many orcs have never eaten chili peppers. Bai Tu likes spicy food, but he never forces his preference on others. Only one-third of the dishes are spicy.

There were a lot of peppers, so Bai Tu only picked the fuller ones for seeds, and chopped up the ones that were of average growth and put them into the pot. He stir-fried the pork belly with scallions, ginger and fat and lean pork, then added boiling water.

The key to hotpot is to eat it while boiling it. The pork and beef are freshly cut. More than a dozen stone pots are lined up in a row, and there are thin stone slices for grilling meat between every two stone pots. You can eat whatever you want.

Even when eating, about one-third of people still hold on to salt and food. The remaining people gathered around the fire, no longer caring whether it was hot or not. After being half-hungry for nearly ten days, they now wanted to eat the pot and the meat immediately.

Langze initially stood around the clear soup pot and refused to leave. Although he had never eaten hotpot, he trusted Bai Tu’s cooking skills and knew that it must be delicious. But he didn’t want the one with fire fruit, absolutely not. Even after several years, he still remembered clearly how he felt after eating the fire fruit. He had experienced limited setbacks since he was a child, and the taste of the fire fruit was definitely a fatal blow to his childhood, and he would remember it no matter how long it had been!

That being said, after Bai Tu had fried the base ingredients with various seasonings, Langze suddenly had a bad feeling. Why did he feel that the food in those pots was more fragrant than his?

Watching Bai Tu put the sliced ​​meat into the red spicy pot, Langze couldn’t help but get nervous. The constantly bubbling soup exuded an enticing glow and flavor.

Langze swallowed his saliva. Bai Tu must have done it on purpose to tempt him to eat! Just like the cannibal tribes that the elders in the tribe told me when I was a child, they used food to lure ignorant orcs, tricked people into caves and then killed and ate them!

The cannibal tribe is definitely the most terrifying story in every cub’s childhood. In Langze’s heart, the taste of the fire fruit is only slightly worse than the story. Now the status of that pot of meat slices is as terrifying as the cannibal tribe, because it is not only scary, but also tempting.

I will become mute after eating the fire fruit. I will become mute after eating the fire fruit. I will become mute after eating the fire fruit, Langze muttered to himself, then moved his feet with difficulty, with his back to the white picture.

You can’t see it this way! It’s worthy of him!

On the other side, Bai Tu used oversized wooden chopsticks specially made for picking up food to stir the meat slices in the spicy hot pot twice. Seeing that they were cooked, he scooped them all into the bowl next to him.

This is Bai Tu Diao’s heaviest spicy hot pot. Every slice of meat is covered with red oil, which is still dripping when it is served. After being placed in a wooden bowl, it forms a sharp contrast with the meat slices cooked in the clear soup pot next to it.

Although most orcs are more accepting of clear soup pot, it is undeniable that the color of the spicy pot is the most attractive. The meat is obviously the same meat, the salt is the same salt, and the other onions, ginger, and garlic are all washed together and put in, but because of the addition of fire fruit, the aroma of the spicy pot is the strongest.

Bai Tu didn’t let everyone wait too long. Seeing that the meat slices in the bowl were not so hot anymore, he started to dip them in the sauce. He really missed the chili peppers. After eating non-spicy and even not-so-salty food for more than ten days, the meat slices now definitely ranked first in his mind.

Fragrant, spicy, salty and slightly numb, the taste buds were greatly satisfied. Bai Tu enjoyed tasting the next piece and reminded everyone: “It’s time to eat.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the orcs moved quickly, and the orc next to the clear soup pot was the fastest. Langze picked up the meat slices from the pot and dipped them in the sauce made by Bai Tu. It tasted bad. As expected, good-looking things are useless, only those that don’t look good are delicious.

The others were a little hesitant. They were not like Langze who was persecuted by the fire fruit at a young age and was very resistant to it, but they did not have much of a good impression of the fire fruit either. Everyone knew that the fire fruit could poison people, make them mute, and cause fire blisters.

It’s just that Bai Tu was eating so happily that he didn’t stop talking. Everyone looked at each other, hesitating whether to pick up their chopsticks.

If you eat Bai Tu, then you can definitely eat it, but what if your mouth hurts after eating it? Everyone has seen orcs who were injured after eating fire fruits, with their mouths red and swollen, and their tongues and mouths full of blisters.

Bai An was looking at the salt. Bai Qi had already asked about the taste when Bai Tu was frying the soup base. He determined that he could not eat the spiciest one, so he and several other rabbits had already prepared the slightly spicy pot. On the third day after Bai Tu woke up, he knew that as long as Bai Tu said something was delicious, he should not hesitate but just believe it!

The rabbits were eating delicious food…a group of wolves were hesitating.

Lang Qi, who had been silent all the time, sat opposite Bai Tu and imitated Bai Tu in picking up the slices of meat and putting them into his mouth, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

“Is it delicious?” Bai Tu asked. Except for those who really can’t eat spicy food, no one else can resist the taste of chili!

Lang Qi nodded and poured all the sliced ​​meat on the plate next to him into the pot. Most of the orcs gathered around the clear soup pot. No one was around the spicy pot next to it, and no one touched the sliced ​​meat. A plate of about half a pound of sliced ​​meat was just a drizzle for the orcs. Two or three plates would fill them up. Even if ten were added to the front, it would not be enough for the orcs.

The two of them gathered around the heavy spicy pot, eating without even raising their heads.

The wolves who were fighting for food secretly looked at each other in confusion. The leader had eaten, so would they eat too?

They are all wolves. If the leader didn’t become mute after eating, they certainly won’t become mute either. However, the leader doesn’t like to talk, so it doesn’t matter whether he becomes mute or not. The question is back to the starting point: should they eat or not?

The group of people hesitated for a while, and when they saw Lang Qi preparing to serve the third plate of meat, some people couldn’t help themselves. They couldn’t squeeze into the clear soup pot. Although barbecued meat was delicious, they had eaten it before after all. Since Bai Tu and the leader ate it so happily, why didn’t they try it?

Lang Zuo took the lead. He picked up the meat without even adding any dipping sauce and stuffed it into his mouth as if he was ready to die. His eyes lit up instantly and he started to attack the second piece of meat without saying a word.

Although they didn’t describe the taste, the reactions couldn’t lie. Gradually, more and more orcs approached the spicy pot and ate along with Wolf Zuo.

The spicy taste was very novel. Most of the orcs tried it for the first time. Many of them couldn’t stand the stimulation and started coughing, but most of them ate while breathing out air.

It was slightly spicy at first, then medium spicy. Then there were people next to it, some grabbing the meat slices, some grabbing the dipping sauce. They usually love each other, but love is worthless in front of delicious food.

Langze ate two plates of meat and just as he was saying that it tasted better than barbecue, he heard a few wolf howls behind him. For Langze who howled frequently, the sounds were too familiar, as they would only make such sounds when they encountered something that made them particularly happy.

Langze reacted and then he found that half of the people were missing next to his pot. No wonder it was easier to grab it just now!

Bai Tu made some delicious food again while he was away? Langze turned around and saw that the stone pots closest to Baitu were surrounded by a bunch of people, really a bunch of people! I can’t even see it.

“Ze, eat this!” Lang Zuo and Lang You are indeed Lang Ze’s best friends. After eating a plate of meat, they finally thought of Lang Ze. However, they did not stop talking while talking. Who dares to stop! If you are slow, it will be eaten up by others!

Langze squeezed over and saw that everyone was gathered around a red spicy hot pot. He was stunned: “Aren’t you afraid of becoming mute?”

“Eat first, if we want to become mute, let’s do it together.” Langzuo said casually. It’s a bit scary if one person becomes mute, but it’s not so scary if a group of people become mute. Anyway, everyone is the same. Eating is the most important thing now.

Langze was afraid of becoming mute, but everyone was eating so eagerly. It was obvious that the meat was so delicious that people would fight over it like this. He immediately became conflicted, and before he could do anything, an orc squeezed in and took up the last spot where he could get the meat.

When he just caught it, Langze was not sure whether to eat it or not. Now that he can’t catch it anymore, this meat has become something he must eat. Langze looked around and finally found that only the stone pot in front of Bai Tu had the least number of people, with a total of two people, Bai Tu and his brother!

Suddenly he didn’t care whether he was mute or not, Langze ran wildly and floated to Bai Tu’s side.

Lang Qi quickly picked up the last two pieces of meat and shared them with Bai Tu and himself, leaving only the bottom of the pot for Lang Ze.

Langze was suddenly struck by lightning, staring at the boiling pot, and froze in place.

Bai Tu couldn’t help but laugh when he saw him like this: “You are still young, you can’t eat.”

Lang Ze still looked at his brother who had no brotherly love in disbelief, muttering: “No, I’m young and I need to eat more.” He must defeat his brother Lang Qi, definitely!

The children were all stunned. Bai Tu couldn’t bear it and gave him the last piece in his bowl: “Try it first.” More and more people gathered in front of the other pots. Some orcs were scalded but refused to move away. Langze was afraid that he could not squeeze in, but there were only three or four plates left on their side. Langze came a step too late, and he and Langqi had already eaten it all.

Langze treated the piece of meat as his own brother and bit it fiercely. The next second, he burst into tears because of the spiciness – the boiled chili oil was even spicier than the fire fruit he had eaten at that time!

It was just that he had finally tasted the flavor, and Langze was reluctant to give up. Seeing that everyone was enjoying the food so much, Langze, who refused to admit that he was inferior to others, took another bite, and his eyes lit up instantly.

It’s really spicy and really fragrant.

Bai Tu pointed to the slightly spicy pot not far away and said, “That one is a little better.” Although the spicy food he made was not as spicy as the ones he often ate in his previous life, it was still a big stimulation for the orcs who had never eaten spicy food. Langze’s reaction obviously showed that his tolerance for spicy food was average.

What he didn’t expect was that Langze insisted on finishing that piece of meat, and then said seriously: “No, I’ll just eat this pot!” What his brother could do, he could do too. The key is to eat well.

Lang Qi slowly swallowed the last bite: “Go cut the meat.” Due to the tight time, only part of both kinds of meat were cut and put into the pot. Bai Tu’s original intention was for everyone to eat a little to fill their stomachs before cutting new ones. As a result, he once again underestimated the orcs’ appetite. It can be said that orcs have no upper limit on their appetite. The appetite after being hungry for one day is different from that after being hungry for three days, and it is another state after being hungry for half a month. On average, each person has one or two pounds of meat, which is not even a snack before a meal.

He was a little unwilling to be asked to cut the meat, but if he didn’t cut it, he would have nothing to eat. So Langze took a big piece and cut it viciously.

“Cut it thicker. Thin ones don’t taste good.” Lang Qi has already tasted the difference in texture between slices of meat of different thicknesses.

After saying that, he changed into his original form and patrolled the surroundings. Normally, there was no need to be on guard, but the orcs were obviously too happy tonight. The excitement plus the attraction of delicious food made it easy for them to lower their vigilance. Although this place was two mountains away from the market, the next mountain was Blackrock Mountain, which was less than two days’ journey away from here. They had to be more vigilant and bring the salt to the tribe. They could not relax at any time.

Bai Tu was about to speak, but then he thought of something and swallowed his words.

Langze watched his brother leave, lowered his head and cut a thin slice. No, he wanted to cut it thin!

It is more difficult to cut thin slices of meat. After Langze cut a large piece of meat, he couldn’t help but take it to find Bai Tu. After pouring the meat slices into the pot, he stared at it intently. The one he cut must be more delicious!

The moment the meat slices were cooked, Langze’s chopsticks started moving, almost leaving an afterimage. He picked up the meat slices and stuffed them into his mouth impatiently, even when he was burned.

“Eat slowly.” Bai Tu reminded. The hotter the food, the spicier it is. Langze’s ability to handle spicy food is slightly poor, so he might feel uncomfortable eating hot and spicy food for the first time.

“I won’t!” Langze answered with a sigh. His brother would be back soon, and he couldn’t let such a thing get away with it! He needs to finish eating quickly. It was just too spicy. Langze exhaled, took another bite, then picked up the bamboo tube and drank boiled water. After that, he ate another piece. He was a typical person who loved both vegetables and food.

Bai Tu: “…”

Lang Qi quickly checked the surroundings and came back, planning to eat something more, when he saw his stupid brother eating meat with tears in his eyes. He paused, and the brotherhood that had disappeared a few years ago rarely surfaced again. He rarely reflected on himself: Was I a little too fierce just now?

However, this thought only flashed through his mind. When Lang Qi approached, he suddenly heard Lang Ze’s muttering.

“Phew, I’d rather die of spiciness than give it to him…”
