I've been transported to the orc continent.

Chapter 360 Happy Event

When Yue's father and father arrived, Bai Ling naturally had to do his best to entertain them. He decided to make steamed buns for dinner, since the orcs from the tribe had sent over two pig legs yesterday, so he would make pork and scallion-filled steamed buns.

After digging up a row of scallions, Bai Ling took a basket to the kitchen. He peeled off the outer skin of the scallions, washed them in water, wrung them out vigorously, and then began to chop them.

Chopping scallions is no easy task; it's so irritating to the eyes that Bai Ling's eyes turned red after chopping for just a short while.

Zhao walked in and said to Bai Ling, "They asked me to come and help, Ling, what can I do to help?"

Bai Ling pointed to the pork in the ceramic basin and said, "Uncle Zhao, why don't you chop the meat up?"

As the two were talking, Yue walked in.

Bai Ling laughed and said, "Yue, go talk to your father and father. You don't need to help here."

Yue walked to Bai Ling's side and said, "It was my father who asked me to come and help."

Bai Ling came to the kitchen to cook, and Yue kept glancing towards the kitchen. Yue's father could easily see what was on his mind, so he simply let his son come to the kitchen to help.

"No need, the onions are too spicy for my eyes. Yue, you should go out," Bai Ling said.

Yue ignored him and instead walked over, pressing down on the cleaver Bai Ling was using to chop scallions: "I'll chop for a while. Go out and get some fresh air. Ling, your eyes are terribly red; you look like you're about to cry."

Bai Ling glanced at Yue, then handed her the kitchen knife. He didn't say anything more, but quickly walked out. He took a few deep breaths outside, and once the stinging sensation in his eyes subsided, Bai Ling went back into the kitchen to take over chopping scallions from Yue.

Pour animal fat into a pot, and once the oil is hot, add the pork. Stir-fry it carefully with a wooden spatula. When the meat is almost cooked, sprinkle with spice powder and then immediately remove it from the pot.

While the meat is still hot, pour in the chopped scallions. The scallions release a subtle aroma as they are heated by the steam.

Finally, sprinkle with salt, and the meat filling is ready.

The dough had risen, and Bai Ling, Yue, Chen, and Xiao each carried in a ceramic basin. Xiao put the basin on the ground and said with a grin, "We are the youngest of the four of us, so we'll be making the buns today. Uncles, great uncles, and great aunts, just wait and enjoy yourselves."

Xiao You said to Yue's father, "Uncle, you must try Ling's cooking."

His words made everyone in the room laugh, and Ding said, "Alright, then we'll leave the making of the steamed buns to you. We'll just wait to eat."

The young man raised his head and said, "Yes, these steamed buns are guaranteed to be delicious today."

Making steamed buns isn't complicated. Yue is in charge of kneading the dough, Bai Ling is in charge of rolling out the wrappers, and Chen and Xiao are in charge of wrapping them. One by one, the wrapped buns are placed on the bamboo mat, like soldiers waiting for inspection. They are plump, white, and adorable, making your mouth water at first glance.

Qian and Ying had never eaten steamed buns before. When they took their first bite, they were both slightly taken aback. It turned out that what the clansmen had said was true; steamed buns were indeed a very, very delicious food.

As the couple took their second bite, they looked at Bai Ling sitting next to them, their eyes showing even greater satisfaction with her.

She's good to her son and can cook delicious food for him; well, she's a qualified partner.

A joyous occasion has occurred among Bai Ling's clan.

Zhao's partner is pregnant. Zhao and his partner have been married for decades but have never had children. They never expected that she would become pregnant at this time.

This was a joyous occasion, and all the tribespeople who had come out with them were happy for them. The orcs from the central tribe, knowing that Ding was pregnant, also sent a lot of gifts. The elder even specially instructed the orcs who were building houses to build the next house for Zhao and Ding, and that Zhao and Ding would have to move into the new house when autumn came.

When his partner became pregnant, he was overjoyed and took great care of her while also thinking about how to make her life even better.

If your partner gets pregnant, you'll have to live in the central village for the next few years. The central village will build you a house and provide some assistance, but if you want to live a better life, you'll still have to rely on yourself.

The plan is to cultivate some land in the fall, move into a new house, raise some livestock, and store as much as possible before winter arrives...

He had many ideas, but he couldn't accomplish them all by himself, especially land reclamation, which required the help of his clansmen.

The clansmen, including Bai Ling, were very enthusiastic about helping them. Even Qian and Ying actively offered suggestions on how to provide a better life for the cubs in the future.

When Qian and Ying went on their travels, the Yuanhu tribe still existed. Now, the Yuanhu tribe no longer exists. The beastmen of the Yuanhu tribe have all been incorporated into the Gaoshu tribe and become beastmen of the Gaoshu tribe. Qian and Ying quickly accepted that they were beastmen of the Gaoshu tribe.

After discussing it together, all the clansmen decided to help Zhao and Ding reclaim the wasteland in the fall, when the weather would be cooler and the vegetation would begin to wither, making the reclamation easier.

As for raising livestock, once the livestock raised in the tribe have offspring, they can exchange goods for them.

Speaking of raising livestock, Bai Ling mentioned, "I see that quite a few people in the central tribe raise pigs. It's better to castrate the boars when the piglets are a bit older, so they can grow faster and taste better."

This was the first time Bai Ling had mentioned the word "castration," so Yue asked, "Ling, what is castration?"

Bai Ling casually said, "It's about cutting off the boar's testicles."

Bai Ling didn't think too much when he spoke; he just gave a casual explanation. But as soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room immediately became quiet.

The clansmen inside the house looked at Bai Ling with an ancient yet slightly frightened gaze, and even Yue's eyes changed a little.

Bai Ling then realized that what he was talking about seemed a bit hard for the orcs to accept.

For orcs, hunting and killing wild animals is normal, but to cut off the testicles of young wild animals is really going too far.

Bai Ling quickly explained, "If boars aren't castrated, they grow slower, become more aggressive and irritable, and their meat has a fishy smell. Didn't you say that boar meat isn't as tasty as sow meat and has an unpleasant smell? If you castrate the boar, that smell will be gone, and the pork will taste even better."

After hearing Bai Ling's explanation, the beastmen's expressions softened. Xiao Zui asked first, "Ling, castrated boars taste better and grow faster, right?"

Bai Ling nodded.

Xiao continued, "Then let's castrate them all. Pork is delicious, but boar meat isn't very tasty."

Xiao accepted it quickly. Since removing the testicles would make the pork taste better, he could totally accept it.

Not only Xiao, but the other orcs also quickly accepted this. For the orcs, any method that could make the food more plentiful and tastier was acceptable.

Bai Ling: "Well, we don't need to castrate them all; we still need to keep some for breeding."
