It was dark outside. The falconer who had returned from hunting could now transform into human form. He took the prepared game and cooked stir-fried wild vegetables and meat in a stone pot.

"This excess oil can be stored and used directly next time," Ye instructed from the side.

"Okay." Eagle Hunter brought over an empty stone bowl. Since living with Ye, they have accumulated more and more stone bowls, stone pots, wooden spatulas, and wooden spoons.

He had never used so many things before, and he never used them when he was away from home. He would only stay in a place during the cold season to exchange salt and fire starters with nearby tribes. During the rest of the seasons, he would eat raw food.

"I'm not sure if this stone pot will work. Won't it crack after a few uses?"

Hu Qing, who was tending to the other two stone pots steaming and boiling earthen roots, chimed in: "No, the large stone pots of the Tiger Tribe have been used for a long time and haven't broken."

"Let's use it for now." That's all we can do for now. She has studied ceramics making and knows about the history of metallurgy. Ceramics are easy to make; she can try it after the winter season. As for metallurgy, she needs to find suitable ore first. She doesn't know if there is any in this world.

Actually, it wasn't her choice whether or not to let those tools appear in this world ahead of time. She wasn't a very ambitious person; she was just someone who carried out a mission. She put in a lot of effort to make those things, but the natives might not feel any gratitude. They might even want to take more from her.

"Ye, come and take a look, this should be ripe." Hu Qing called to her.

"Let me see." Ye shook his head and walked over to look at the contents of the stone pot.

Let's take it one step at a time. There's another transmigrator in this world, eyeing us covetously. Although she doesn't have much knowledge, who can guarantee she won't remember something useful? In the primitive world, any tool could have epoch-making significance.

"It's still a bit bitter, but it tastes much better than roasting it." Hu Qing took a bite.

"I'll stir-fry the raw meat with the meat later, and then stir-fry this cooked meat as well. Let's see which one tastes better." Ye ate two pieces of the steamed meat. She choked a little, but she could barely eat it as a starchy food.

Let's wait until the flour is dried and then knead it into dough to see if it can be made into a staple food.

Hu Qing didn't understand. They had plenty of food, so why did they keep going through all that trouble with those unpalatable earth roots?

"Because I want to eat a lot of different things, not just meat," Ye explained in the simplest way.

"There are many kinds of meat. For example, beef and rabbit meat taste different."

"That's all meat. The human diet is very diverse." Ye directly used the native humans as an example, saying that humans care more about what grows in the soil than beastmen.

"Isn't that because they can't hunt enough prey?"

"Yes, it's wise to fill your stomach with something else when there isn't enough prey. Not everyone is lucky enough to become a top hunter." If this wisdom were fully applied, what advantages would the tiger and eagle tribes have? Aren't the ferocious beasts in modern society powerful? They still need legal protection or to be cute in zoos.

Hu Qing seemed to understand, but only vaguely. He could barely grasp that his females were human, and humans ate many different things. However, the human females living in their tiger tribe seemed to mainly eat meat, with occasional fruit.

The stir-fried wild vegetables with meat successfully neutralized the greasiness of the meat, making it very delicious. Ye couldn't resist taking out a large steamed bun he had stockpiled in the previous world from his spatial storage, breaking it into three pieces, one for each person.

Ye took a bite of stir-fried meat and a bite of steamed bun: "Mmm, delicious."

Eagle Hunter and Tiger Green looked at the soft thing in their hands and took a bite like Ye did. The texture was a bit strange and it didn't have much flavor, but it was acceptable.

"Ye, what is this?"

There's a type of food I really like to eat, but I can't make it anymore. Every one I eat is one less I can have.

Eagle Hunter handed the rest back: "Ye, you eat it. We'll just have the meat."

"No need, just eat it." But next time, there won't be any for them.

"This is,"

"Don't ask where it came from," Ye interrupted Hu Qing.

"No, I'm not asking where it came from. The shaman said you're different. What I want to ask is, what is this made of? We can look for it."

"It's very troublesome. You have to peel the fruit of a plant, grind it into powder, mix it with flour, and steam it. First of all, you need to have this plant."

"Shall we go look for it after the cold season?"

"That works too. We can visit the herbivorous tribe or the human tribe; they know more about plants."

Raw root vegetables are still bitter when stir-fried with meat, making the meat taste bitter as well. However, if the root vegetables are steamed or boiled and then stir-fried with meat, the bitterness is negligible in the mouth.

After finishing their meal, the group tidied up and went to sleep. The two orcs took turns watching the fire, and Ye slept soundly through the night.

Dried roots can't be used to make steamed buns, but they can be fried into small pancakes. They taste pretty good when eaten hot, and it's a good extra staple food!

"Today's task is to weave mats and make shoes."

Preparations for the cold season were proceeding smoothly. It was getting colder and colder outside. Ye had already put on a full set of animal skin clothes, pants, and shoes. These were all made with the help of two orc claws. She had scissors in her space, but they were not as useful as the orc claws. As long as the lines that needed to be cut were drawn, they could cut out the animal skins without any mistakes. When sewing, she used the teeth of the Neon Beast and tree vines. Both of these materials were a bit thick, so the stitches were naturally large.

So whenever she leaves the warm cave, she puts on a large cloak and completely covers herself inside. Once it gets really cold outside, she won't come out. She even uses a wooden bucket to relieve herself, which is then taken out and emptied by the orcs.

"Ye, the water outside has frozen over," Hu Qing told her that day after returning from the hunt.

"Is it easy to get water?"

"It's alright. The place where we get our water is the source, and it's not completely frozen yet. Even if it does freeze, it'll be fine. We can use the snow water when it snows," said Eagle Hunter.

Hu Qing: "The small cave next door for storing prey has been dug. Starting tomorrow, the falcon hunter and I will go out hunting to fill the cave and use it when we can't go out hunting."

"Okay," Eagle Hunter nodded, then said to Ye, "Ye, after we both go out, don't leave the cave. We'll leave our scent around, and most wild animals won't dare to come."

"understood."

The cold season came quickly. At first, the two orcs didn't use the supplies in the neighboring cave and took turns going out hunting every day.

Ye thought life would continue peacefully, but then her body started acting strangely. She suddenly found herself wanting to be close to the two orcs. At first, she didn't notice anything unusual until her hands touched the orcs until they groaned. Only then did she realize that she had one in each hand and hadn't missed either of them.

Are they in heat?

Ye picked up his hand that was on Hu Qing and looked at it. Although human females were not as uncontrollable as beast females when they were in heat, they also longed for contact with the opposite sex.
