Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 314 Flower Girl

Aya opened her mouth, but eventually scratched her head and squeezed next to Wu Yue: "Yue, some of the mushrooms I brought home yesterday have already gone bad."

As she spoke, she lowered her head somewhat shyly.

Upon hearing this, both the Snow Tiger Clan Chief and the Snow Tiger Shaman frowned: "It will spoil after just one day?"

Foods with a short shelf life must be eaten immediately after being collected, and are not even as important as wild vegetables.

Wu Yue nodded: "It's probably because you didn't store them properly. The ones at my house are all fine."

After saying that, he turned to the clan chief and the shaman and said, "I have a way to make mushrooms into dried mushrooms, which can be stored until next year."

After Wu Yue finished speaking, the cave fell silent instantly. The Snow Tiger Clan Chief looked at her in disbelief: "You mean... store it until next year?"

Wu Yue nodded solemnly: "I would never lie about something like this; it is indeed possible to store it until next year."

Many wild vegetables and fruits can even be dried, although they don't keep as long as dried mushrooms, they're fine for winter.

Snow Tiger Witch wiped his face, his eyes shining as he looked at Wu Yue.

If it weren't for his truly pathetic divination abilities, he would have wanted to ask the Beast God if Wu Yue was an envoy he had sent down.

Suddenly, the Snow Tiger Clan Chief, as if remembering something, looked up at her abruptly: "Yue, I have something very important to ask you."

He stared intently at Wu Yue, his eyes serious, which made Wu Yue nervous as well.

She straightened her back and nodded solemnly: "Please ask."

Seeing the two of them like this, the Snow Tiger Shaman really wanted to laugh, but as a shaman, he had to maintain his dignity, so he could only cough twice to hold it in.

Chief Snow Tiger pursed his lips, his two large fists clenching and unclenching repeatedly, appearing quite tense.

Wu Yue felt a chill run down her spine.
Could it be that her beauty has captivated this middle-aged, handsome beastman, and he is about to confess his love to her?

Would she become his mistress?

Don't ask her why she thinks that way. It's true that having mistresses and gigolos is common here. As long as you have the power, it's not a big deal.

Unbeknownst to her, Aya, who was standing next to her, felt the same way.

The only time her father appeared so anxious and nervous was when he was with her mother.

She looked at Wu Yue with a complicated expression. She had finally found a good friend, but would she become her little aunt tomorrow?

"Last time, the orc warriors brought back a piece of very salty meat, saying that you made it with salt and that it could be stored for a long time."

But we didn't believe it, so we scraped the salt off the meat and ate it directly.

After he finished speaking, he looked nervously at Wu Yue: "Can that meat made with salt really be stored for a long time?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Yue and Aya breathed a sigh of relief; at least they weren't going to be mistresses.

But another question in her mind was also answered.

Back when we were in the cave, in order to avoid being discovered by the Black Wolf tribe, everyone ate salted meat that had been cured with salt.

The storage time of salted meat is also obvious to all.

For the people of the beast world, meat is their staple food. However, meat cannot be stored for long, so before each winter, they eat as much food as possible to store fat and survive the cold winter by burning it off.

She thought this method of preserving meat for a long time would cause a sensation in the tribe, but after returning to the tribe, she never heard anyone mention salted meat again, which surprised her.

Unexpectedly, the salted meat brought back by the orc warriors was eaten by their own people. They didn't believe that such salty meat could be stored for a long time, and even thought that the method of salting meat was a waste.

It's a waste of both meat and precious salt, since apart from a few orc warriors, most of the tribe members don't know that the Snow Tiger tribe already has a lot of salt.

Wu Yue smiled wryly: "I thought the tribespeople hadn't told you and the shaman about the salted meat, but I didn't expect it to be like this."

She nodded and said, "Salted meat can indeed be preserved for a long time. We start hunting before winter and salt the meat, and it's good enough to eat even after winter."

Seeing their shocked expressions, Wu Yue continued, "As long as we have enough salt and prey, our Snow Tiger tribe will no longer have to worry about food in the winter."

No more worries about food!
That's an incredibly big statement!

However, it left the people in the cave both shocked and heartbroken.

This problem, which had plagued the Snow Tiger tribe for generations, was solved this year by a young female who almost became a slave to the tribe.

"Although curing salted meat is simple, there are some techniques involved, which I can teach to my people."

But I hope that the task of curing the salted meat can be done by a trustworthy member of the tribe.

After she finished speaking, she raised her head, but was startled by the several pairs of bloodshot eyes in front of her, and plopped down in the grass behind her.

Clutching her wildly beating heart, Wu Yue felt she had something to say, but she didn't know whether she should or shouldn't.

Damn it, for a moment when she looked up, she thought she had been transported to some post-apocalyptic survival world again, surrounded by a group of zombies with bloodshot eyes.

"Yue!" Aya cried out and threw herself into Wu Yue's arms, her arms gripping her so tightly they hurt.

"Damn it! Aya, do you think I'm a big guy like you? Get out of here, you're going to strangle me to pieces."

After letting out a heart-wrenching, exaggerated scream, Wu Yue successfully persuaded Aya to retreat. Then, like a pretty girl who had caught the eye of the Imperial Army, she hugged her arms and hid in a safe area.

Seeing Wu Yue looking at her warily, Aya scratched her head sheepishly, "Hehe, well, I'm just so excited! We'll have food to eat in winter! Hehe... Hahahaha!"

Wu Yue: "."

Snow Tiger Witch: "."

Snow Tiger Clan Chief: "."

Is this guy crazy?

"The salt crystals from that cave have all been brought back. We will keep this a secret. Before winter, the shaman and I will find absolutely trustworthy orc warriors and females to make salted meat."

The tribe members all thought that the salt crystals in the cave were gone.

But only Wu Yue knew what those salt crystals were.

As a byproduct of the Salt Crystal Beast's body, as long as the Salt Crystal Beast has salt crystal ore to eat, salt crystals will reappear in the cave in a short time.

Last time, she specifically asked Tongzi to investigate the salt crystal mine in the cave. The salt crystal vein extended far beyond the polar forest.
