Compared to this place, it is clear that the architectural technology of the Kingdom of Asura is much more advanced.
However, even if the architects of the Kingdom of Asura came to this land where wood could not be obtained, they would probably be forced to surrender due to a lack of materials.
Plants with withered and drooping leaves are planted at equal intervals in the fields that can be seen from outside the village.
Considering that it was grown in such an environment, Shirou suspected that it was a vegetable like a potato or sweet potato, which are very easy to grow in such harsh conditions.
Incidentally, in the corner of the field grows a terrifying flower with teeth, resembling a man-eating plant.
It was unclear whether it was a plant or an animal, but a set of crooked teeth was making a clicking sound.
It should be used to deal with harmful animals that invade the fields.
Upon entering the village, the environment became clearer, and the Migrud villagers gradually came into view.
Some villagers were cooking and washing dishes over a fire, while others had just returned from gathering some easily flammable dry leaves. Some young-looking girls were busy around the fire, seemingly preoccupied with something.
After asking Loin, Shirou learned that they were preparing food.
Due to the poverty of the village, the Migrud people lived a rationing system where food was cooked in one place and then distributed to everyone.
This is clearly a desperate measure taken due to the scarcity of living resources.
It's worth mentioning that there were almost no men in the village.
Although there were young boys, there seemed to be only a handful of adult men.
With a little thought, Shirou realized that the adult men here must have all gone out hunting; this was the system in more primitive tribes.
The men went out hunting, while the women stayed home weaving and cooking.
Having just experienced medieval life in the Kingdom of Asura, Shirou found it hard to imagine that such a barren and primitive place existed in the same world.
However, considering the experiences that the Heroic Spirit Emiya possessed, he had seen even greater disparities in his original world. In the same era, there were not only skyscrapers and extravagant lifestyles, but also pitiful people who couldn't get enough to eat during wartime, and even more primitive tribes.
It can only be said that the vast world can easily close people's eyes, making it difficult for them to imagine the completely different landscapes that exist in the same world.
While Shirou was having various thoughts, Alice bluntly asked, "What kind of prey can they hunt here?"
"You can hunt monsters."
Rijrud answered Alice's question in the human language.
He had lived in the Demon Continent for a long time, so he naturally knew a lot about how to survive there.
"A monster? You can eat those things?"
Alice was taken aback.
At this moment, Shirou couldn't help but reply, "I know that monsters can be eaten."
While in Buena Village, Senis gave Shirou a book about ingredients from all over the world, which is how Shirou learned that in many places, monsters are also a type of food.
Even Shirou himself, when hunting monsters in the forests of Buena Village, tried dissecting and eating them, and found that they tasted almost no different from ordinary meat.
"Using monsters to cook... I can't even imagine what that would be like..."
Alice spoke with mixed feelings.
"Then I reckon you'll be able to eat it soon."
Shirou spoke in a strange tone, because he was already prepared to cook monster dishes in the Demon Continent.
Before Alice could ask any more questions, the group had already arrived in front of a relatively spacious building, which seemed to be the village chief's residence.
"The village chief already knows you've arrived."
Lloyd suddenly spoke.
"Huh? When were you notified?"
Alice was very surprised.
Shirou was equally puzzled and couldn't help but ask.
They later learned that the Migrud people possessed a wondrous talent: they could communicate telepathically with each other and know each other's thoughts without needing to speak directly.
For this reason, the Migrud people often served as scouts on the battlefield, able to pass on intelligence to those in need, even from great distances.
Shirou was slightly surprised by this, not expecting that the Migrud tribe would have such a talent.
But then he became puzzled, because he had never heard of the Migrud tribe having such a skill from Lokishi.
Do you feel there's no need to say it?
Shirou couldn't understand it, and stopped thinking about it.
Just then, a man with a cane, but who looked like a child, came out of the house with two young girls by his side.
Of course, having become accustomed to the general conditions of the village, Shirou knew that one could not judge the age of a Migrud by their appearance.
"It seems you are guests who have come from afar."
The village chief spoke slowly with a peaceful smile.
"I didn't come from afar, I just happened to end up here."
Shirou smiled wryly and tried his best to be polite and respectful, because the child in front of him was very likely an old man who had lived for over a hundred years.
"As a human, you actually know the language of the demon race."
"I guess you could say it's my talent."
"Ah."
The fact that Shirou could speak the demon language had been accepted by everyone, who assumed he had probably learned it before, so no one was too surprised.
“I already know about your situation. It’s nice to meet you. I am the village chief of this village, and my name is Locke.”
The village chief spoke quietly, without showing much hostility towards Shirou and Alice, “As you can see, our village is very poor and has almost nothing to offer you. So although we can provide you with a place to stay, the living conditions will not be very comfortable.”
"It's alright, I'm already very grateful that you can provide accommodation."
Shirou was certainly not the type to take advantage of others, and he immediately expressed his gratitude to the village chief.
After a brief conversation, Shirou and Alice were granted permission to stay in the Migrud village.
"What is this?"
As they were leaving the village chief's house, Alice suddenly pointed to a huge tortoise shell on the roof, about twenty meters in size.
"That's a giant tortoise. Its shell is hard, but its meat is delicious, and its tendons can be used to make bowstrings."
After receiving a translator, Loin explained to Alice, "On our side, only giant tortoises and a few other types of monsters are our main prey and food source."
"Food sources..."
Shirou inexplicably took Lorne's words to heart.
In fact, after arriving in the Migrud tribe, he felt that the living conditions here were too harsh, and even demons would find it difficult to adapt and survive.
If possible, Shirou would love to help the Migrud people live a better life.
But now his abilities are limited, and he can't even take care of himself, so naturally he can't offer any help.
However, when the topic of food came up, Shirou suddenly had an idea and realized that he might be able to help the Migrud tribe from this perspective.
Shirou and Alice were first provided with a fairly comfortable room. The room was quite spacious, with furs on the floor and brightly colored tapestries hanging on the walls.
In the center of the room was a structure resembling a hearth, with a small fire burning inside, illuminating the interior.
Because of the extreme temperature difference between day and night on the Demon Continent, fires must be lit at night to prevent people from being chilled by the cold.
After confirming that there were no problems with the living environment, Shirou let Alice rest in the room, while he went to the place that resembled a kitchen for the Migrud tribe and approached several Migrud tribe members who were cooking and preparing food.
The Migrud girls were undoubtedly flustered, even fearful, when faced with the arrival of strangers.
Shirou could only try his best to appear gentle and use his usual gentle smile to prove that he had no hostility.
Whether it was Shirou's gentle attitude that was too perfect, or his appearance and temperament that matched the aesthetics of the Migrud tribe, the Migrud girls quickly began to trust him and even showed him an overly friendly attitude, which made Shirou somewhat uneasy.
Of course, regardless of the attitude of the Migrud girls, Shirou's only purpose was to borrow the Migrud's kitchen.
On his way there, he had already roughly determined the environment of the village and the main sources of its food.
The staple food is undoubtedly the peculiar vegetables that are grown, and occasionally, they supplement their diet with meat from monsters they hunt.
They were barely able to survive.
Shirou had no objection to the original culinary system of the Migrud tribe; he simply intended to further supplement their food sources.
The first thing to consider is the types of edible monsters.
Having studied monsters in the forests of Buena Village since childhood, Shirou is very familiar with the conditions of most monsters and knows which parts of which monsters are edible and which parts are inedible.
Later, after arriving at Boreas Castle, he specifically studied numerous works from around the world about monster diets and summarized methods to turn inedible monster ingredients into edible ones.
Just like when Shirou was at the Grellard's house, teaching Paul and Senis how to eat fish.
With his simple methods, he significantly increased the edible portion of many of the monsters hunted by the Migrud tribe.
Moreover, in order to help the Migrud people adapt quickly, he personally cooked and took care of all the Migrud people's dinner.
This is not something that can be done casually, after all, Shirou is an outsider.
But because of his own affability, and with Loin's help, he actually managed to personally prepare the Migrud dinner.
When Shirou meticulously prepared the monster feast and confidently presented it to everyone, the entire Migrud tribe erupted in excitement.
Chapter 182 Why am I always so popular with my wife?
Shirou personally cooked a feast for the Migrud tribe.
This matter did not initially cause a great stir.
Although many Migrud people knew that a human would cook, it was hard for them to have high expectations.
The reason wasn't that they didn't trust Shirou.
In fact, the people of the Migrud tribe generally heard that human cooking skills were very high, and that the food of the Central Continent was completely different from that of the Demon Continent.
When Luo Qixi first left the Demon Continent and went to the Central Continent, she experienced what true deliciousness was.
Even so, the people of the Migrud tribe found it hard to believe that Shirou could make any incredibly delicious dishes here.
The reason is simple: the environment for the Migrud tribe is too barren. Not only can they not find any decent ingredients, but the only edible food is the monsters that are everywhere.
The Migrud people themselves have become accustomed to the harsh environment here, and it's not that they actively chose or got used to it, but rather that they passively endured and adapted to it. So they don't expect anyone to be able to make any food that they find palatable under such difficult conditions.
As for Shirou's cooking, they thought it was just a novel experience for the humans who came to this place, and they believed that after seeing the hellish cooking environment of the Migrud tribe, he would give up on his own.
However, when Shirou brought out the dishes he had carefully prepared, the people of the Migrud tribe were all shocked.
They never expected that the humans before them could prepare such a sumptuous meal using the limited resources and ingredients available to the Migrud tribe.
Yes.
Although conditions were harsh for the Migrud tribe, with scarce ingredients and extremely poor cooking conditions, he had long been prepared to survive in such a difficult environment.
Based on his past knowledge and experience, he carefully prepared the monsters hunted by the Migrud tribe, extracting as many edible parts as possible from them, and using various methods to make these tasteless, even the lowest-grade ingredients in the Kingdom of Asura, into delicious and visually appealing dishes.
Most people certainly couldn't do this; it would be difficult to prepare a lavish meal under such challenging conditions.
But Shirou did indeed do it.
Moreover, the dishes he prepared received almost unanimous approval from the Migrud tribe.
The Migrud people never imagined that someone could make such a sumptuous and delicious meal from their tribe's strange and unusual ingredients.
After all, if the Migrud people were to cook it themselves, the monster's flesh would definitely be bitter and dry, not to mention hard to swallow, they would simply have to force themselves to eat it.
Kashiro used special cooking techniques to remove the bitter taste of the monster meat, and after various processing steps, he made the monster meat as tender as ordinary edible meat.
If the Migratory people hadn't witnessed Shirou's cooking process firsthand, they would have suspected he had used some kind of magical magic or spell.
In short, when dinner time begins in the evening, the Migrud people experience what can be described as the most sumptuous dinner in countless years, with the entire village bustling and excited as if a banquet were being held.
Of course, Shirou's cooking is definitely not that exaggerated.
Due to the scarcity of ingredients and harsh conditions, the dishes Shirou made in the Migrud tribe would only be considered average if they were served in the Asura Kingdom.
However, since this was the Migrud race, who had never tasted such delicious food before and lived on the Demon Continent, they were completely captivated almost instantly.
Shirou became the most popular person in the entire Migrud tribe almost instantly.
A large number of young girls gathered around, wanting to learn from him how to make such wonderful dishes.
Shirou was genuinely at a loss as to what to do when faced with these Migrud women who looked almost exactly like Loki.
