I've been transported to the orc continent.

Chapter 314 Teaching Orcs to Make Brew Yeast

The skills of the High Tree Tribe are very valuable to the orcs. They studied in the High Tree Tribe for a year and learned almost all the skills they wanted when they first arrived. However, during this year, many new skills emerged in the High Tree Tribe.

So it turns out that roads can be leveled to make it easier for the beastmen to walk; so it turns out that ditches can be dug to bring in water so that the crops can grow well; so it turns out that there are so many intricacies to farming...

Of course they wanted to continue learning and stay here. Even if they couldn't learn any skills, they could learn a lot just by working for the Gaoshu tribe.

Being able to work and study at the same time in the High Tree Tribe, and having three full meals a day, is really a good deal for orcs.

The elder said this not for the sake of the High Tree tribe, but for the orcs who, like himself, had come from afar and had finally arrived here.

After the elder said that, Zhan thought for a moment and then said, "Let me think about this matter again. One year to learn the skills, plus two years to work, that's three years. Three years without being able to go home is a bit too long."

A few days later, a group of orcs arrived at the High Tree Tribe.

They were weary from their journey, but as they walked along the smooth road, looked at the neat farmland on both sides, and approached the village to see the houses standing on the ground, they were first surprised, and then overjoyed.

The Gaoshu tribe indeed has many good things; their trip was worthwhile.

*

Despite the arrival of so many orcs in the tribe, life seemed unchanged, except that there were many more orcs to be seen in the tribe.

Bai Ling's life hasn't changed much. Two years ago, he made a promise to the chief of the Greenwood Tribe that if he succeeded in brewing wine, he would teach the Greenwood Tribe the method. Last year, he successfully brewed sorghum wine, and this year he has to fulfill his promise.

To brew wine, you first need to make yeast. The Greenwood Tribe has smartweed flowers. Bai Ling sat on the back of a Sky Beastman and came to the Greenwood Tribe to teach them how to make yeast.

Bai Ling also brought the yeast she made last year, along with two jars of sorghum liquor.

The Greenwood Tribe has vast forests with many kinds of delicious fruits that can be made into fruit wine. Since they were already there, Bai Ling simply brought some sorghum wine and taught them how to brew fruit wine.

Knowing that Bai Ling was coming today, the chief of the Greenwood Tribe didn't go to work and waited for Bai Ling to arrive in the tribe's square early in the morning.

As they approached the Greenwood Tribe, the Sky Orc let out a loud cry, and the tribespeople who were waiting behind him all looked up and waved their arms at the sky upon hearing the Sky Orc's cry.

The Sky Orc slowed down and descended to the ground. As it descended, neither the Sky Orc nor its people moved. Today, Bai Ling had come on the back of a medium-sized Sky Orc, which didn't kick up much dust, so there was no need for them to retreat.

Bai Ling dismounted from the Sky Beastman's back. The Sky Beastman then transformed into human form and bowed to Bai Ling in a traditional beastman greeting, saying with a smile, "Ling, welcome to the Greenwood Tribe."

The method of making yeast is not difficult, and the required materials are not complicated. All you need is ground sorghum flour and smartweed flowers. Bai Ling led the orcs of the Greenwood Tribe to start by picking smartweed flowers, teaching them step by step with care.

Bai Ling would first demonstrate each step to the Greenwood Tribe's orcs, then have them do it twice. Only after the Greenwood Tribe's orcs had fully mastered it would Bai Ling move on to the next step.

Once the yeast starter was made and all the leaves were covered with pine needles to ferment, Bai Ling was still not finished with the lesson. He asked the orcs of the Greenwood Tribe to start making the yeast starter again, beginning with boiling smartweed flowers.

Six orcs were learning how to make yeast from Bai Ling. They memorized every step Bai Ling taught them, and having already practiced twice, making yeast independently was not difficult for them.

Moreover, Bai Ling is here, so even if they don't understand something, they can ask Bai Ling immediately.

The yeast that Bai Ling and the Green Wood Tribe jointly produced consisted of half with the old yeast brought by Bai Ling and half without. The half with and without the old yeast were placed in different winnowing baskets and fermented in a clean room.

Bai Ling also taught the orcs of the Greenwood Tribe how to make fruit wine. In gratitude, the Greenwood Tribe gave Bai Ling four whole baskets of fruit.

Bai Ling couldn't possibly eat all these fruits. Besides, when he transplanted the smartweed in the Greenwood Tribe two years ago, it was already clear to both sides that Bai Ling could transplant the smartweed, but once he made the wine, he would have to hand over the winemaking method to the Greenwood Tribe.

The two sides had already agreed on the terms, so why would he want so much more?

"Ling, you must accept these fruits. Knowing you were coming today, the beastmen of our tribe were very happy. These fruits were gathered by our tribe's beastmen and are specially given to you."

The Sky Beastman had already transformed into his beast form. While he was talking to Bai Ling, the beastmen of the Greenwood Tribe had already tied the fruit to the Sky Beastman's back.

Fortunately, the Sky Orc only carried Bai Ling, one of the orcs, so there was no problem with tying four more baskets on his back.

Fermentation of the yeast takes time, and Bai Ling would come over every other day to check on the fermentation process.

In hot weather, the yeast ferments very quickly. Within a few days, the yeast is covered with fine white down. Most of the yeast fermented with old yeast is successfully fermented, while the yeast fermented without old yeast is only about one-third successful.

The fermented yeast needs to be exposed to the sun. Bai Ling carefully instructed the orcs of the Greenwood Tribe that the yeast must not get wet, and if the weather changes, they must quickly take the yeast indoors.

He then patted his chest and said, "Ling, don't worry, I will send an orc to guard the yeast. It will be taken out in the morning and taken out in the evening, so it won't get wet in the rain."

Bai Ling: "I'll come back in five days. By then, the yeast will be ready, and I'll teach you how to brew wine. I'll be going to the central tribe soon, but don't worry, I've already talked to my father. He's brewed wine with me several times and knows how much fermentation is needed for the sorghum. Even if I'm not there, you can still learn how to brew wine from my father."

The central tribe is too far away from here, and it would take four or five months to travel back and forth. He probably won't be able to make it back this year, so he can only leave the matters here in Greenwood to his father.

He then thanked Bai Ling again and watched Bai Ling leave on the back of the Sky Beastman.

This is Bai Ling's first time traveling far from home, so she needs to carefully prepare what she needs to bring.

Not only Bai Ling, but also Yue, Chen, and several young orcs from the tribe will be going together. The Central Tribe is the largest and most prosperous tribe on the orc continent, and now that there is such an opportunity, of course we have to go and see it.
