Surviving in the Beast World with a System-Chapter 188: Irresistibly Fragrant

Some tribespeople had even started to ask if the house-building team was still looking for people. Wu Yue found it both funny and exasperating; her people would do anything for a bite of meat.

She walked up to her and said, "They’re putting on the roof now, so I can’t help. I’ll make wild vegetable balls with you."

To be honest, Wu Yue really disliked the taste of the wild vegetable balls. Raw wild vegetables were just smashed and squeezed into balls, and the resulting flavor was something she really couldn’t compliment.

But as time passed, she seemed to have grown accustomed to it. She’d even start to miss it if she went too long without eating it.

’How pathetic of me...’

The woman seemed a little embarrassed. "Yue, could you watch my little cub for me? We’ve run out of wild vegetables, so I’m going to go borrow some."

Wu Yue paused for a moment, then smiled. "I have plenty of wild vegetables at my house..."

As she spoke, an idea suddenly occurred to her. Her eyes sparkled as she said, "I have a lot of dried wild vegetables at my place. Since you have meat, why don’t I make dinner tonight?"

She then added with a mysterious smile, "The dish I’m going to make is delicious. Even the vegetables will have a meaty flavor."

The woman gasped. "Vegetables with the flavor of meat? How is that possible?"

Wu Yue smiled. "I’ll teach you in a bit. You can make it for your cub and mate in the future. They’ll definitely love it. And the most important part is..."

She chuckled. "You only need a tiny bit of meat. For example, with the half you have today..."

Looking at the chicken in the woman’s hands, Wu Yue fell silent for a long moment before scratching her head, a bit embarrassed. "What kind of beast is this? I’ve never seen one before."

The woman swung the chicken in her hand. "This is a Two-legged Beast."

Wu Yue wiped the sweat from her brow. ’Well, that’s one way to put it. Simple and to the point!’

’A beast with two legs is called a Two-legged Beast?’

’Then what about the four-legged ones?’

"This Two-legged Beast in your hand will be enough for all the men to eat their fill today."

The woman’s gaze on Wu Yue turned dazed. ’Half a Two-legged Beast can feed all the men?’

’Isn’t that just enough for everyone to get a little taste?’

The woman was skeptical of Wu Yue’s claim, but the thought of learning a way to make one piece of meat last for several meals... was very tempting.

’Anyway, food is food, as long as it fills your stomach. And I’m sure Yue wouldn’t waste food.’

After convincing herself, the woman held her little cub and followed Wu Yue to her home to get the pot. They also carried over some... wilted-looking wild vegetables that looked like they’d been stored for a long time.

The woman’s expression was complicated. ’So, does Yue want our help getting rid of these vegetables that are about to go bad?’

The pot was slightly larger than the original, and Wu Yue had secretly made it a bit deeper when she was building the stove.

She went to Qingcao’s house to get a small piece of fatty meat, tossed it into the pot, and began rendering the fat. In an instant, the aroma of animal oil drifted on the wind to several nearby homes.

Loud GULPS echoed from all around.

Wu Yue carefully picked the cracklings out of the pot, placed them on a large leaf, and handed it to the woman. "Let these cool for a little while before you eat them. They’re a bit hot."

Then, she used two sticks to pick up a piece, blew on it to cool it down, and held it to the little cub’s mouth.

The little one took the meat in one big CHOMP and swallowed it down. After finishing it off with a few loud smacks, his eyes instantly lit up, looking up at her with an adorable, pleading gaze.

Patting his little head, Wu Yue pointed to the woman standing nearby. "Go to your Amu. She has lots more."

The woman had already washed a large basketful of dried wild vegetables and set them aside. She now stood beside Wu Yue, watching intently. With one hand, she fed her gobbling little cub, while her eyes never left Wu Yue as she cooked.
