CHAPTER 298: CHAPTER 289: DRIED RED EARTH FRUIT VERMICELLI_1

When Si Yan’s gaze swept over the Beastmen, they became excited.

They each expressed their love and admiration for her!

"Sage Si Yan, we really, really like you!!!"

"Sage Si Yan, hurry up, we can’t wait! We’re all looking forward to your Red Earth Fruit noodles."

"Although we’ve watched the noodles being made, could we please watch you cook them?"

"We’re so excited, we’re really looking forward to it!!"

"Lady Si Yan, you must do your best! We all believe you can win first place!"

"Nonsense, Sage Grey Parrot is the certain winner!"

"No, it’s Lady Si Yan!!"

"It’s Sage Grey Parrot, it’s Sage Grey Parrot!!"

"Alright, alright, stop arguing! Both Lady Si Yan and Sage Grey Parrot are incredible!"

The Beastmen below the stage were very enthusiastic, their faces full of excitement and eagerness as they watched her.

Si Yan politely smiled at everyone.

Tai Seng spread out a large pile of freshly made dried Red Earth Fruit noodles.

The Beastmen stared intently at this convenient and easy-to-prepare food.

Si Yan said, "Everyone has already seen the process of making dried Red Earth Fruit noodles. The main raw material, the Red Earth Fruit, is very hardy and easy to grow. As long as everyone masters the cultivation techniques for the Red Earth Fruit, Weak Beastmen can choose to plant it extensively."

Strong Beastmen shook their heads upon hearing this; Strong Beastmen ate raw meat to become even stronger and knew nothing about cultivation.

A Deer Beastman said, "Lady Si Yan! Our tribe can grow some things."

A Sheep Beastman also said, "We can too."

"Red Earth Fruit is easy to grow. I’ve grown it before!"

"I’ve grown it before too!"

Si Yan smiled and said, "You’re all very impressive."

With that, she took out a sprouted Red Earth Fruit and said to the Beastmen, "After the Red Earth Fruit sprouts, just bury it in the ground to plant it."

"When planting, it’s important to note that Red Earth Fruit doesn’t tolerate waterlogging; too much water and it won’t grow well. Plant it by creating ridges, like this, so it won’t be submerged by water. Then, it will grow abundantly and well..."

Si Yan explained the techniques and key points of planting Red Earth Fruit to the Weak Beastmen.

The entire venue fell silent, everyone listening with great focus.

After Si Yan finished speaking, the Weak Beastmen pondered for a while before becoming even more excited.

"Lady Si Yan, you are so amazing!"

"Thank you, Wise One."

"Thank you, Wise One, for teaching me."

Once everyone calmed down, Si Yan continued, "As long as we have a large quantity of Red Earth Fruit, making storable dried Red Earth Fruit noodles will not be difficult."

Having said that, Si Yan took out some of the dried noodles and said, "The storage life of these dried noodles is very long. Provided the storage conditions are appropriate, storing them for one to three Beast Era Years is not an issue. During the Great Cold Season, when food is scarce, a warm bowl of Red Earth Fruit noodles will be very comforting. In fact, Strong Beastmen can eat them too."

Si Yan set up a stone pot and lit a fire beneath it to boil water. After the water boiled, she added the Red Earth Fruit noodles, a few slices of meat, and some leafy greens, finally adding a pinch of salt.

"Eating Red Earth Fruit noodles may not build muscle for Strong Beastmen, but it can fill their stomachs. At least they won’t starve."

The Strong Beastmen watching attentively also could not hide their excitement.

Even Strong Beastmen tribes had some Weak Beastmen, not to mention the many female Weak Beastmen brought back from their tribes.

With these dried noodles, how many females and cubs could be saved from death during the Great Cold Season?

Si Yan served the cooked Red Earth Fruit noodles into many stone bowls. Tai Seng handed the bowls to the Beastmen, who eagerly ate them, finishing even the soup.

"Delicious!! This is delicious!!! So soft and smooth!!"

"I don’t even know how to describe it, but it’s delicious, really delicious."

"I want to try it too! Give me some!!"

"Me too! Give me some, I want some, give me some!!"

The amount of Red Earth Fruit noodles Si Yan had cooked wasn’t very large, so the Beastmen who got to eat them were extremely excited, feeling as if they had hit the jackpot.

"Give me some, I want some too."

"I’ve finished all the noodles!"

"The soup! Just give me some soup!!!"

"I want that leaf! Don’t drink it all! Hey, I just want a bit, just a bit!"

"Brother Tai Seng, give it to me, give it to me!!!"

"Brother Jin Tong, I have an Insect Crystal! Give me some, give it to me!!"

To these Beastmen, it seemed as if a taste of Si Yan’s noodle soup could prolong their lives; they were incredibly excited.

Tai Seng and Jin Tong rushed back and forth serving the Red Earth Fruit noodles until the very last drop of soup was gone.

"We can make Red Earth Fruit noodles!"

"Not only can it be stored, but it’s also incredibly delicious!"

"My Mistress will definitely love it!"

"Do you know how many Beastmen our tribe lost during the Great Cold Season last year? So many males died. In the end, to save the females and cubs, we... the males even cut off their own flesh, forcing the females to eat it. You have no idea how terrifying it is when there’s no food..."

"Things are better now, much better. As long as we work hard enough, we won’t starve."

"The Beastmen in our tribe are all very hardworking."

"We are too!"

The Beastmen were greatly encouraged.

Xue Lin walked over to Si Yan and, with a satisfied smile, looked at her. "Si Yan, if your method is implemented, and the Beastmen can survive the Great Cold Season and the Famine Season, then the number of Beastmen dying of starvation will greatly decrease. The population of Beastmen in this world can slowly increase. This is a tremendous boon for all Beastmen."

Si Yan nodded gently.

Sage Grey Parrot looked at Si Yan with a gaze full of approval and admiration.

Xue Lin directly addressed everyone, "The main trial of the Sages’ Competition is now over. Regarding the challenge of storable food for Weak Beastmen, I believe Sage Grey Parrot and Sage Si Yan are tied for first place. Does anyone have any objections?"

The jam made by Sage Grey Parrot was sweet, could be stored, took up little space, and filled one with energy after consumption.

In Si Yan’s view, his jam was richer in vitamins and various other nutrients.

In times of famine, a jar of jam could certainly save a life.

First place was indeed well-deserved.

And Si Yan’s dried Red Earth Fruit noodles: the ingredients were easy to obtain, it could be mass-produced and stored for a long time. After cooking, it tasted delicious and was very filling. It could be used as an everyday food or stockpiled as a staple for the Great Cold Season. As long as Beastmen worked hard enough, they could survive the Great Cold Season. This food held great significance for the Beast World, and it equally deserved first place.

Sage Grey Parrot laughed. "I think Sage Si Yan’s food is even better than mine. It can help more Beastmen survive famine. Sage Si Yan of Delusional Domain deserves first place; I’ll take second at best."

Si Yan shook her head. "Your jam is exceptional. It’s nutritious and a food of great significance. I believe you should be first."

Xue Lin laughed. "Alright, you two, don’t argue anymore."

With Jin Yao not present, the Sages’ Competition became much more harmonious. The Beastmen couldn’t help but smile as they watched the modest Sage Grey Parrot and Si Yan.
