A vile, ugly, and fat female? A chaotic scene of six beastly husbands vying for her favor.

Chapter 116 Feeding Sweet Potatoes and Licking Fingers

Ling Yu took out a few sweet potatoes she had brought back from the basket, put them on the fire to roast, and introduced them to everyone: "This is the food that will mainly solve everyone's food needs from now on."

"That's it?" Qin asked in surprise.

However, the delicious mushroom soup had already won over those present, and their words were more filled with doubt than questioning.

Yu raised an eyebrow slightly: "Hopefully this thing will be easier to eat than tree roots."

"Not only is it easier to eat than tree roots, but it is also very sweet, soft and glutinous, especially filling, easy to store, and has a large yield."

Ling Yu said confidently, "Let's roast these sweet potatoes first. Yu, I have another matter I need your help with."

“Go ahead,” Yu said quickly.

"Are there still pheasants in the tribe?" Ling Yu asked.

“There should be more.” Yu turned to Ning, one of her beast-hunting husbands, and asked, “How many pheasants are left?”

Ning hesitated for a few seconds, then said, "About ten."

"Bring it here and give it to Yu and the others," Yu instructed calmly.

Ning's expression changed slightly. He frowned and glanced at Ling Yu, then said to Yu in a deep voice, "There are so many people in the tribe. If we give all the pheasants to them, we won't have anything to eat."

The others were also getting anxious.

Mushroom soup is delicious, but the tribe is very short of pheasant, a type of meat. Even if the outsiders teach them to identify edible mushrooms, they can't give them all of them.

"Chief, these pheasants were caught by our brothers at great risk in the Misty Forest. They were brought back with great difficulty. We can't give them all to them."

"Yes, Chief!"

"We can't give them all; these people are far too greedy."

These people anxiously tried to dissuade them.

Yu's face darkened: "You won't listen to what I'm saying?"

For a moment, everyone clenched their fists angrily, stopped talking, and looked at Ling Yu with reproachful eyes.

If they had known this would happen, they wouldn't have eaten the mushroom soup.

We don't need to feel obligated to feed others now.

Seeing this, Ling Yu smiled and explained, "I think everyone has misunderstood. When I asked Shanji, it wasn't to take it for myself."

"Then what do you mean?" Qin asked anxiously.

Yu also looked at Ling Yu, a hint of confusion in her eyes.

“What I’m trying to say is, if there are still pheasants in the tribe, why not raise them in enclosures, let them lay eggs, and hatch more chickens?” Ling Yu looked at everyone.

Everyone, including Xuan and the others, looked at her in astonishment.

Yu frowned slightly and murmured, "Raising chickens? Is that really necessary?"

One of the males couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "Our tribe doesn't even have enough food to eat, so where would we get the resources to raise chickens? With all that effort, we might as well go down the mountain and hunt in the Misty Forest."

"Yeah, with so few chickens, how much meat is there?"

"We don't have time to take care of chickens. What's the point of raising such small prey?"

Li also felt it wasn't worth it and whispered to Ling Yu, "Yu, it seems no tribe raises these animals; everyone prefers to hunt them directly."

Xuan frowned and thought for a moment, then went over and touched Ling Yu's shoulder.

"Chickens have little meat, they like to run around, and one person can eat a whole one, so it's not really necessary. Hunting is much more enjoyable!"

Ling Yu blinked: "I don't think so. Chickens can lay eggs, you know that, right? Eggs can hatch into new chickens. There are so many people in the tribe. If more people participate in raising chickens, there won't be a shortage of chicken meat soon."

"As for the food you mentioned for raising chickens, chickens eat everything, insects, tree roots, grass, and they only need a little care."

"There's also the problem of them running around. You can build a wooden fence to keep the chickens in. Just put in water and food, and you won't have to worry about them much."

Seeing everyone fall silent, Ling Yu continued, "What you see are just a few chickens in front of you, of course that's a small number. But they have the ability to reproduce continuously. A few chickens could become dozens or even hundreds in the future."

"Similarly, we can also raise rabbits, pigs, and the like."

She looked at Yu and said seriously, "The reason your tribe had less food was because of overhunting. Although you have banned hunting near the tribe in an effort to restore the ecosystem."

"However, instead of waiting like this, it is better to take control of the breeding and growth of animals. Animals raised will not need to be hunted and can be used at any time."

Her words resonated with everyone present.

They never thought about it from this perspective: a few chickens could become hundreds in the future, and the number would only increase.

If they can be properly cared for, they won't even need to risk going out to hunt.

The deeper Yu thought about it, the more appreciative she looked at Ling Yu: "Yu is right. This is the best way for the tribe to achieve sustainable development. Relying solely on hunting is too passive and susceptible to various influences. Animal husbandry reduces many risks."

"Ning, what Yu just said, you should have someone do as she says."

Ning understood this as well and nodded emphatically: "Okay! Leave it to me."

Everyone looked at Ling Yu with curiosity, and whispered among themselves:
"What the saying says seems to make sense. Chickens can lay eggs and hatch chicks, providing a continuous source of food!"

"Yes! How come I didn't think of that!"

"No wonder they dared to lead these people out to establish a tribe on their own; they're very capable."

Ling Yu smiled; thankfully, they were quite obedient to her advice.

She didn't see that her husbands were looking at her with even more admiration and appreciation.

Such intelligent and outstanding females are their females.

They felt proud and determined to become stronger so that they could be worthy of her.

“Ning, today you should cut some bamboo poles and gather some thatch. Tomorrow we’ll build a chicken coop. I’ll give you some advice,” Ling Yu offered.

"Okay, thank you!" Ning nodded.

Just then, the sweet potatoes were roasted, and a sweet aroma wafted into everyone's noses. Even though they had just eaten, they couldn't resist the urge to eat more.

Ling Yu was the first to demonstrate, and she took a roasted sweet potato.

She tried to pry it open, but it was too hot. The moment she touched it, it burned her so much that she dropped it on the ground. Li grabbed her hand, carefully blew on it, and frowned, saying, "Be careful, did you burn yourself?"

Ling Yu was a little shy, after all, so many people were watching.

"Yes, I'm fine," she whispered.

"You're alright? Your hands are all red from the heat." Yue glared at her, but her eyes were full of concern.

Lie had already picked up the roasted sweet potato from the ground and looked up at her: "How do you want to eat this? I'll make it."

"Break it open, peel off the charred outer skin, and eat the inside."

Following Ling Yu's instructions, he broke it open, revealing a soft, glutinous yellow center, and an even sweeter aroma wafted to the noses of those around him.

"smell good!"

"This smells so good after baking?"

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lie dug out a sweet potato, put it in his mouth and tasted it. His usually solemn and composed expression immediately revealed a look of surprise.

Everyone stared at him, urging, "Is it good?"

"Is it delicious?" Ling Yu asked curiously. After all, it was a sweet potato from this world. Although its shape and appearance were similar to those of modern sweet potatoes, she had never tasted it before and was not sure what to expect.

Lie quickly composed himself, took out another piece, and brought it directly to Ling Yu's lips. His fingers touched her soft lips, and he stiffened slightly.

"Try it," he said in a deep voice.

Ling Yu didn't mind at all, and ate it without opening her mouth. Her tongue even licked Lie's fingertips unintentionally.

Lie's eyes darkened as he savored the moist, soft touch.
