A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 137 Delicious Noodles
Upon returning to Green Field City, the first thing Shen Tang did was to check on the fields.

Bumper harvest of wheat and vegetables!

Following Shen Tang's instructions, Hu Yun and his men cut down all the wheat ears, crushed the seeds, and packed them into bags.

Then, they didn't know what to do.

"Is this stuff really edible?" Seeing that no one was paying attention, Hu Yun grabbed a handful of wheat ears and stuffed them into his mouth, only to find that they pricked his tongue and made it hurt.

He forced himself to chew it despite the discomfort, but it had absolutely no taste; it was no different from chewing wood!

He looked pale and vomited it all up.

When Shen Tang arrived, she witnessed this scene and burst into laughter, "Who taught you to eat like that!"

Hearing the sound, Hu Yun quickly looked up and saw the female's smile. His face flushed red, and he forgot how to put his hand down. "Master?"

He called out uncertainly.

Upon hearing this form of address, Shen Tang smiled helplessly and said, "I've already told you, you don't need to call me master. This form of address is too strange."

Hu Yun scratched his head sheepishly, not knowing what else to call him.

It is impolite to address someone by their first name.

She is no longer a princess, and cannot be called Your Highness.

Hu Yun didn't dare use a more intimate term like "Xiao Tang," otherwise he would have been skinned alive by the four men next to her.

"Just call me Sister Tang." Shen Tang looked at Hu Yun, who was probably two years younger than her, around seventeen or eighteen years old. He had a handsome and refined appearance, and his short orange hair was very eye-catching.

Hearing the commotion, the orcs working in the fields all looked over.

When they saw Shen Tang's face clearly, they felt a strange flutter in their hearts. They wondered if it was just their imagination, but they felt that she was even more beautiful than before she left.

They had never seen a female with such temperament and beauty in real life.

The male beasts were all stunned.

Xiao Jin frowned and coldly shouted, "What are you looking at? Those who haven't finished their work, keep working! If you slack off again, I'll break your legs!"

The beastmen snapped out of their daze, hiding their blushes, too embarrassed to stare any longer.

Shen Li glanced at the flustered Xiao Jin, then looked at Shen Tang with a gentle expression, "Little Tang'er, what do you plan to do with these wheat seeds?"

Shen Tang grabbed a handful of wheat, and Hu Yun and the others collected the seeds as she instructed, but the collection was very rough, with the seeds still wrapped in the ear husks and mixed with a lot of wheat stalks and leaves.

The technology in the Beast World is more advanced than that of modern times, but there are no machines specifically for producing flour, so they can only use primitive methods for now.

Shen Tang thought back to when she was a child living in the village, how her grandparents and other farmers handled wheat ears.

She directed the orcs to move the hundreds of sacks of wheat to a flat, open area and dump them all out.

Then, the wind-elemental orcs blew the wheat ears from all sides, simulating the winnowing process, separating the lighter, withered branches and leaves from the wheat ears, leaving only the wheat seeds.

Lu Xiao, along with several wind-elemental beastmen, quickly completed the mission.

Seeing the wheat seeds easily separated, Lu Xiao's usually expressionless handsome face showed a slight surprise. He turned to look at Shen Tang. This kind of trick wasn't particularly clever, but no one else present had thought of it.

Where did she get so much information?

A princess who had been pampered since childhood and had hardly ever been to the kitchen suddenly became an expert in doing farm work.

Ha, that's really interesting.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Lu Xiao's favorability has increased by 5!]

Shen Tang was directing the beastmen to work when she heard the system notification in her mind. She paused for a moment, then turned to look at Lu Xiao with surprise.

The man's expression remained indifferent, unchanged; simply standing there, he was like a cold, aloof landscape.

She really is aloof. Shen Tang then instructed Xiao Jin to take a few orcs to the mountain to find some large stones to make a simple millstone.

Following her instructions, Xiao Jin hollowed out the large rock into a circle and even had to hollow out the middle, which almost wore his claws down to the bone.

Shen Tang felt a pang of heartache watching this, and suddenly remembered that with earth-based abilities, reaching the intermediate level should also allow one to control the changes in stones.

She quickly told Xiao Jin and the others to stop, and activated her earth-elemental abilities, causing the stone to change shape according to her will.

Xiao Jin went to the mountains and collected some thick, sturdy wood. He tied it to the millstone with wire, and a simple millstone was made.

Following the same pattern, he made five stone mills.

The orcs were strong and robust, with great strength and endurance, making grinding wheat much easier for them than hunting.

They were pulling the stone mill, which weighed several hundred pounds, so fast that they were practically spinning like tops.

Shen Tang was utterly amazed by what she saw.

One afternoon, the wheat was threshed, revealing the pale yellow seeds.

After Lu Xiao led the wind-type orcs to separate the bran residue, pale yellow-white seeds were revealed.

Continue grinding it into flour using a stone mill.

By evening, all the work was finished, and nearly a hundred bags of flour had been ground.

The beastmen were astonished to see the pure white flour, which looked like snowflakes in winter. They were amazed that wheat could be ground into such a beautiful form!
Hu Yun secretly grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth, choking so badly he almost couldn't breathe.

The other orcs, who had originally intended to sneak a taste, quickly abandoned their plans after seeing his appearance.

This time they were smarter and took the initiative to ask Shen Tang, "Sister Tang, how do you eat this flour you mentioned?"

"This freshly milled flour needs to stand for a few days, otherwise it may cause bloating if eaten. I will make it into food in a couple of days and bring it to everyone to try."

When Shen Tang said this, her face showed a genuine smile, conveying a sense of conviction.

A strange feeling welled up in the orcs' hearts, and they believed her words without a doubt.

A month ago, they wouldn't have had this thought at all.

Most of these inmates only agreed to work in the fields to avoid taking a break and get a reduced sentence, not because they trusted Shen Tang. In fact, many of them even hated her.

But at this moment, their mindset subtly changed.

They were genuinely curious about how delicious the food she was talking about must be.

The city lord heeded her advice and built a warehouse in the city specifically for storing grain.

The beastmen helped carry the flour into the warehouse.

Shen Tang asked Xiao Jin to carry a large bag of flour home.

Shen Tang touched the fine, snowflake-like flour and was overjoyed. She saw noodles, steamed buns, dumplings, vegetable pancakes, and fried dough sticks beckoning to her!

It made her mouth water.

Two days later, Shen Tang couldn't wait to try it out. She scooped a large spoonful of flour into a bowl, added water, and kneaded the dough.

Seeing that Shen Tang's hands were red from rubbing, Xiao Jin snatched the iron basin and pushed her aside, saying, "You're so clumsy, go stay over there. I'll do this job."

Shen Tang glared at him, but didn't refuse. She ordered imperiously, "Wash your black hands first!"

Xiao Jin's forehead veins bulged. "Don't listen to that damned fox's nonsense. I washed my hands a long time ago!"

Shen Tang grabbed his two broad, calloused hands and examined them carefully to make sure they were clean before letting him start kneading the dough.

I'm writing this, don't rush.
