Chapter 167 Let's Be Friends
This was the first time Lang Cang had ever seen such a small expression on the face of a sub-orc. "Wait for me a moment."
He instantly transformed into his beast form and darted away. By the time Lin Baiyan came to his senses, Lang Cang had already returned to him, carrying a basket and many bamboo tubes in his mouth.
The whole process took less than two minutes, which shows that Lang Cang's running speed is quite fast.
Lin Baiyan looked at the big white wolf in front of her with a smile, "Wolf Cang, you're so fast!"
Hearing the praise from the orc, the white wolf nodded very modestly, but its large tail swayed so hard it almost became a turbine.
With the tools in hand, Lin Baiyan contentedly cut down most of the beehive and filled ten bamboo tubes with it. "We still need to leave some for the bees, otherwise they won't build their nests here next year."
Wolf Cang didn't have time to care about how much honey he had caught. He circled around the orc with a worried expression, "Take off your clothes, let me see if you have any red envelopes on you?"
Lin Baiyan was in a great mood and waved her hand with a smile, "Oh, don't worry, I don't feel anything at all."
Lang Cang's attitude was very firm. Seeing this, Lin Baiyan had no choice but to take off his shirt, turn around and show it to Lang Cang, "See? I told you, those wild beasts all avoid me when they see me, not even the bees stung me."
Wolf Cang saw that the sub-beastman's skin was as white as jade, smooth and without a single scar.
He was somewhat stunned, staring blankly for a long time.
"Wolf Cang, Wolf Cang? Wolf Cang!" Lin Baiyan looked at the male orc standing like a log in front of him with some confusion.
Lang Cang snapped back to reality, his face turning bright red. He hastily draped the animal skin coat over Lin Baiyan and awkwardly changed the subject, "Have you finished picking them?"
He patted his haul and said happily, "Alright, let's go back!"
The two of them carried a basket of peaches to the river to wash them clean. Lang Cang carried honey on his back and peaches in his hands as he returned to the bamboo forest.
He shared the peaches in his hand with everyone so they could have a taste.
Sure enough, the sweet taste instantly won over the big tigers of the Silver Tiger Clan!
The beastmen on both sides worked for half a day, filling all the baskets they brought. In addition to their baskets, Lin Baiyan and his group also loaded four carts with peaches.
Looking at their light cart, Hu Yuan said with some envy, "Your cart is really useful."
Hu Yang was also very envious. "You bet that's right, how much food can that hold?"
Lin Baiyan sat beside the cart, smiling as she took a bite of a peach. "It really is quite useful."
"If you want them, we can trade two."
Hu Yang was overjoyed upon hearing this, "Really? Can you give us two more?"
"Don't you guys not have many carts either?"
Lin Baiyan smiled and said, "Our two tribes have such a good relationship, shouldn't we spare two for you?"
Of course, we can't just say how many carts there are in the tribe, because if there are too many things, they become worthless.
He was reluctant to exchange the cart with the Silver Tiger tribe before because he still had reservations and wanted to observe for a while longer. Now that he has found that they are indeed a tribe worth befriending, he is not so worried anymore!
Hearing Lin Baiyan's words, Hu Yang was deeply moved. "That's wonderful! I'll go back and tell the old priest!"
Tiger Kite rolled her eyes at the male orc next to her, then smiled and said, "Thank you so much! This cart has made things much more convenient for us!"
Lin Baiyan waved his hand, "It's nothing, it's nothing."
"By the way, if you can't finish these peaches, you can slice them and dry them into dried peaches. They can be preserved for a long time and can also be eaten as a snack during the snowy season."
Hu Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard Lin Baiyan's words, "Like your dried sweet potatoes and dried bamboo shoots?"
Lin Baiyan nodded. "Yes, the methods are all pretty much the same."
Tiger Kite hesitated. She and Tiger Orchid had tried drying these plants before, but the results weren't very tasty. "Priestess..."
Lin Baiyan smiled and said, "Just call me Baiyan."
Tiger Kite wasn't some coy sub-beastman; she simply and decisively changed the way she was addressed, "White Flame."
"I wanted to ask how you dry your plants, and why ours turn out so dry."
To call them dry and unappetizing would be an understatement; their cooking skills are really nothing to write home about. They're lucky if they can even get the food cooked.
Hu Yuan was not only the captain of the gathering team, but also took on the responsibility of feeding the tribe together with Hu Lan, the old priest's student.
However, they really don't have any talent for cooking, and the food they make is only edible.
Previously, the big tigers weren't picky; they could even eat raw meat dripping with blood.
However, ever since they ate the food from the Cangyan tribe, all the big tigers in the tribe have been protesting and no longer want to eat the food they ate.
In fact, the way food is cooked on the Orc Continent is similar to that of Tiger Kite and his people; as long as it can be put into the mouth, it is edible.
The Azure Flame Tribe is a true exception.
Faced with protests from the tigers, Tiger Kite and Tiger Orchid had no choice but to look at the food of the Azure Flame Tribe and try to make it themselves, but with little success.
When Hu Yuan said those words, he looked very embarrassed.
Lin Baiyan didn't think much of it; it was just some cooking methods. He had many more ideas in his mind: "Boil the food in a stone pot before drying it; it will taste better that way."
"Sweet potatoes can be steamed first, and bamboo shoots can be boiled."
"These peaches are the same. You can steam them first, then put them in the sun to dry for a whole day, then steam and dry them again. Repeat this three times and they'll be ready."
"You need a steamer basket to steam peaches. I remember your tribe replaced quite a few before, and now they're coming in handy."
Steamed bun?
Is Bai Yan referring to that round, bamboo-made thing that looks a bit like a stone basin?
Previously, the Silver Tiger Clan had exchanged a lot of miscellaneous items with the Azure Flame Tribe, but some of these items were things they had never seen before and didn't know how to use, so they all piled them up in a tent.
Tiger Kite quickly wrote it down, thinking that he would try it out as soon as he returned to the tribe.
"Thank you for telling us how to process the peaches."
Lin Baiyan took a bite of the peach and said somewhat indistinctly, "Don't be so polite, I feel embarrassed to keep thanking you."
Seeing this, Hu Yuan's smile became more genuine. "Then I won't stand on ceremony with you. Shall we become friends?"
Lin Baiyan smiled and extended her hand, "Sure, let's hang out sometime!"
Tiger Kite stared at the outstretched hand in front of him, paused for a moment, and then took the hand. "You can come and visit our tribe sometime."
