I've been transported to the orc continent.

Chapter 210 is like a completely different person.

The mung bean flour has been dried and is ready to be used to make mung bean vermicelli.

It was just Bai Ling and Chen at home. Chen wasn't very good at this kind of work, so Bai Ling brought the mung bean powder to the square and asked the tribespeople who were cooking to help.

Upon hearing that Bai Ling needed help, several beastmen gathered around. Bai Ling smiled and said, "I only need a few people to help me. I don't need too many."

Cai then said, "Let me help. How do you make this? Is it the same as making vermicelli?"

The beastmen already knew that Bai Ling was going to become a fan. Since both "fans" and "fans sticks" have the word "fan" in their names, they must be similar.

Bai Ling said, "The process is similar, but the noodles only need to be blanched in boiling water once; they don't need to be cooked for so long."

Cai lit a fire in the hearth, and after the water boiled, Bai Ling poured most of a bowl of mung bean powder into the earthenware bowl. Then he used a wooden spoon to scoop up boiling water and slowly poured it into the bowl, stirring as he poured. He stopped pouring water only when the mung bean powder in the bowl turned into a paste-like substance.

Then he poured the bowl of "paste" into the earthenware basin containing mung bean powder and began to knead the mung bean powder in the basin as if he were kneading dough.

An orc placed the wooden plank that Bai Ling had brought on the iron pot. The small holes on the plank were so small that they looked like needle pricks. Next to the iron pot was a ceramic pot filled with cold water.

Bai Ling placed the mung bean dough on the wooden board and began to press it down hard. Thin white threads leaked through the small holes in the board and fell into the boiling water.

Cai stood to the side, holding two long chopsticks, and used them to transfer the already formed vermicelli from the boiling water into a ceramic basin filled with cold water.

Another orc fished the vermicelli out of the cold water and hung it on a wooden rack to dry.

Next, all that's left is to wait. The sun has been shining brightly these past few days, so the mung bean vermicelli will be ready in no time.

Although Bai Ling made a spinning wheel, he did not start spinning thread immediately. He is now working in the carpentry group making wooden buckets. They need to make enough buckets as soon as possible so that the tribespeople can easily fetch water in winter.

Once all the beastmen have moved into their own houses, they will no longer eat together. At that time, each household will have to fetch its own water, and they won't be able to do without wooden buckets.

Orcs from several nearby tribes arrived one after another. This time, they were all young orcs, and they did not hide their intentions. They wanted to continue learning from Bai Ling. Orcs rarely went out to hunt in winter, so they could use this time to learn more.

Zhan kept them, but did not interfere with the arrangements for these young orcs. After thinking for a while, Bai Ling sent some of these orcs to cut wood, some to help their families cut grass, and others to work as assistants in the carpentry group.

After the soybeans were dried, Bai Ling broke them into small pieces, then placed the broken soybeans on a straw mat and took them outside to dry.

After taking the soybeans outside to dry, Bai Ling checked the weather every day, worried that the weather would be bad. However, it still rained. When Bai Ling saw that it was cloudy, she took the soybeans inside in the morning.

After the beans were dried, they were put into an earthenware pot. Bai Ling originally wanted to put them in an earthenware jar, but unfortunately, there were no small earthenware jars at home, only two large ones, one of which was used to hold water. So Bai Ling had to find an earthenware pot, put the beans in, and add salt water.

The earthenware pot should be placed in a sunny spot to ensure it receives ample sunlight. Bai Ling covered the pot with several layers of paper and then secured the paper with animal hide.

The sauce wasn't ready yet, so it had to be stirred every day. The sauce gradually changed color, and on the tenth day, Bai Ling tasted it and found that the flavor was a bit bland.

He added some more salt to the earthenware pot, then tasted it again, and the flavor was almost perfect.

Just as the sauce was almost ready, Yue returned. After unloading the prey, he asked his tribesmen about Bai Ling's location and learned that Bai Ling was helping out in the carpentry group. He then rushed over excitedly.

When the beastmen saw Yue arrive, they all knew what he had come for. One of the beastmen shouted, "Yue, you've come at the right time! Your table and benches are all ready. You can take them back now."

These past few days, the carpentry team has finished making all the tables and benches. Now every household in the tribe has been given one table and two benches. Yue hasn't been home yet, so his family hasn't taken their table and benches back.

After thanking the orc, Yue picked up a wooden bucket and asked, "Ling, what is this? It looks similar to an iron bucket for drawing water."

Bai Ling smiled and said, "This is a water bucket. Iron buckets are prone to rusting and are not good for drawing water, so I made a wooden bucket."

Yue put down the wooden bucket, walked to Bai Ling's side, and sat down next to him to watch him work.

Although he wanted to go back with Ling to check on the fermentation process, Ling was at work and he couldn't let her leave her job to be with him.

Bai Ling took some sawn-off pieces of wood and placed them all in front of Yue. He didn't say anything, but just smiled at Yue.

Yue quickly understood what Bai Ling meant. He chuckled softly and began playing with the wooden block as if it were a building block.

The interaction between Bai Ling and Yue stunned the other beastmen. They all knew that Bai Ling and Yue had a good relationship, but they did not expect that Yue would have such a personality in front of Bai Ling.

Yue has a rather reserved personality; he doesn't talk much or smile much in front of his tribe. He's a powerful and aloof beastman. But in front of Ling, Yue is like a different person, even showing some childlike innocence and naivety.

The beastmen were surprised, but no one said anything. They just glanced at it curiously for a moment and then went about their work.

Bai Ling brought Yue home, washed his hands and face first, and then led Yue to the earthenware pot.

Bai Ling carefully removed the paper from the earthenware jar: "Yue, take a look, the sauce has turned into this."

When the moon was setting, the beans hadn't dried yet, but now they've fermented and dried completely, and are almost turned into a paste.

Yue took the wooden spoon used for stirring, scooped up some sauce and examined it closely. The sauce had turned dark red and smelled salty and fragrant.

Yue asked, "Ling, is the sauce ready?"

Bai Ling shook her head: "We'll have to wait a few more days. Oh, by the way, Yue, don't go out next time. I'm going to visit other tribes."

This time, Yue stayed outside for more than 20 days, which was almost the longest the hunting team had ever stayed outside. After resting in the tribe for a few days, the hunting team would go out again.

It's been almost a month since the cassava harvest, and winter is less than a month away. Bai Ling plans to visit the Green Wood Tribe to exchange some dried fruit and transplant some fruit trees.

Bai Ling is now a treasure in the tribe. If he goes out, Zhan will definitely have someone follow him. Bai Ling had told Zhan before that if someone was to follow him, he would have Yue go with him.

Zhan had no objection to this. For the tribe, protecting Bai Ling was more important than hunting. Since Bai Ling wanted Yue to go with him, then so be it.
