CHAPTER 154: SUCKER MUCH (II)

"Do you know something other than making these omelettes?" Guo An asked. "It is really good, but collecting beast fat is not easy in winter."

Ruan Chanchan thought about it a little and nodded. "Well, you can make steamed eggs." She soon made three bowls of steamed eggs. She didn’t make any for herself because she had eaten these steamed eggs many times, and the blue bird eggs were running out. If she made some for herself, then Ruan Zeqiu would pout to death upon returning home. She might as well save some.

Xie Daiyu had long learnt that Ruan Chanchan’s cooking skills were really good. In fact, she was the best in the tribe. Thus, he didn’t even hesitate as he placed the slightly sweet, salty, creamy and slippery steamed eggs in his mouth. As soon as he took a bite, Xie Daiyu almost screamed in delight. He had once looked down on these eggs as they smelled too fishy. But he never thought that such delicacies could be made from these eggs. Sigh, he really missed out on a bunch of good things. If he had known that these eggs could be cooked like this, then he would have collected more eggs instead of meat.

"Delicious, it’s really delicious." Guo An exclaimed. At first, he had a lot of opinions about Ruan Chanchan as he thought that she couldn’t keep her son happy, but now his opinions about her had suddenly turned a one hundred eighty degree change. No woman in the tribe could make such delicious meals; with these meals alone, his son would be able to live a happy life with Ruan Chanchan.

More than having a decent meal. Was there anything important? It seemed like he was really wrong to think that Ruan Chanchan was crazy. Maybe she was too smart, and the beast goddess thought that she was way too capable, which was why she made Ruan Chanchan a bit crazy, because the beast goddess believed that Ruan Chanchan was not capable of controlling the powers that she had bestowed on her?

The more he thought about it like that, the more Guo An believed that he was on the right track.

"Chief Xie, I noticed that the children in the tribe eat only meat. There are no vegetables in their diet, which might be the cause of the high mortality rate in the tribe. Every child needs balanced nutrition. How about we create a cooking team and teach them how to make steamed eggs and bone broth soup? That way, we can help the children make up for the missing nutrients. Maybe that way, more children will awaken as totem warriors?" Ruan Chanchan suggested. She had noticed that the beast cubs were not as strong as they should be. Maybe it was because they avoided eating the green vegetables, as they were bitter and didn’t taste good.

Because of this, the children were not growing well, and their growth was a little stunted.

When Chief Xie heard her suggestion, she thought that it did make sense. What was more, Ruan Chanchan was blessed by the beast goddess, she must know better than them. If she said that meat alone was not enough, then maybe it was indeed not enough.

And even if they didn’t help the children, these steamed eggs and omelettes were really delicious. So, the kids would like to eat them even if they were not very helpful.

Anyway, the young cubs couldn’t eat too much meat. Even if they were fed meat that had been turned into paste, they could not eat it. Many of the cubs were really picky, which made things troublesome. With these steamed eggs, Chief Xie was certain that the cubs would be able to eat something decent. Their tribe’s condition was not good enough, and the children didn’t have enough to eat. Other than the paste of meat, there were not many options. Now the cubs had more meat to eat. This was good enough for her.

Seeing that the two of them were eating the steamed eggs quite happily, Ruan Chanchan decided to share some of the mushroom bone broth with them as well.

After drinking the warm soup, Chief Xie closed her eyes in relish. She had to admit that Ruan Chanchan really brought a surprise to her; she never expected that such a thing could be made from the waste of the beasts.

Although he had already eaten these mushrooms, Xie Daiyu was still nervous when he saw his parents eat them. He waited for an hour to pass by, and once it was over, he heaved a sigh of relief that he didn’t even know that he was holding.

The one who was the happiest after eating the mushrooms was Chief Xie. Since these mushrooms were edible, it meant that they could be collected, dried and cooked.

Even Guo An was happy. He had been waiting for something to happen when nothing happened, and he couldn’t help but sigh in content. He looked at his wife, who was happily munching on the mushrooms, and shook his head. He knew very well how worried Chief Xie was due to the lack of ration for the past three years. Every time winter arrived, his wife’s face would turn long and get lined with worry. When someone died due to starvation, Chief Xie was the saddest as she blamed herself for not being able to keep their ancestral land.

Chief Xie wanted to keep the tribe healthy, well-fed and safe more than anyone. Now that they had finally found something that they could store in the winter with Ruan Chanchan handing out the instant noodles, the tribe would have more food options in the winter. Sometimes even the smallest bite of food could save the life of a person.

Chief Xie was indeed quite happy. She couldn’t stop praising Ruan Chanchan. "You are really smart, Ruan Chanchan. I have to say that you might be the smartest woman of our tribe."

The other women: "..." WOW. Sucker much?
