Chapter 145 Inexperienced and Ignorant
The people outside didn’t try to keep their voices down at all, and the people of the Big Bear Tribe could hear what they’d said.
But nobody took it seriously.
They might have felt inferior at this time if they had come to the Beastman Continent and discovered that it was flourishing and rich. Following that, due to feelings of inferiority, they might have tried their best to take out everything they had to trade with others after hearing these words.
However, that wasn’t the case–they had discovered that the lives of people on the Beastman Continent wasn’t much different from life in their Big Bear Tribe.
Perhaps the people here had seen more and knew more, but they had three Beast Kings!
The people here regarded a Beast King like Shi Li as a treasure… They weren’t interested in him at all!
With a mindset like that, the people of the Big Bear Tribe didn’t nitpick with these inexperienced and ignorant people and only went about their own lives–namely, making food to eat.
After casually eating something this morning, they hadn’t eaten anything since then and were all hungry.
The houses they were living in were very small and wasn’t spacious enough to cook in. The people of the Big Bear Tribe set up stoves in the shed that was used for exchanging goods instead–they would be living here for a good few days, and they needed to have several good cooking stations. Zhou Ji alone would need two of them to use in rotation!
It wasn’t early anymore, and the people of the Giant Ape Tribe next to them had already started a fire and were roasting meat. The other tribes who had come to participate in the Beast God Sacrifice were also doing the same thing.
However, there were still many people crowded around the Big Bear Tribe.
In recent days, everyone had been pretty idle and didn’t have much to entertain themselves with, so they were more willing to watch something interesting.
This Big Bear Tribe was a tribe that had suddenly gained the attention of the Rhinoceros Beast King and driven away the Lion Beast King! They were very eccentric!
“I heard that the Rhinoceros Beast King’s father is in this tribe? Who is it?”
“Did they really drive the Lion Beast King out of the tribe? Are they crazy?”
“How come the Rhinoceros Beast King’s father looks to be about the same age as him?”
……
The Rhinoceros Beast King who hadn’t left since arriving there that day: “……”
The Rhinoceros Beast King glared at Hai Feng, but he didn’t leave.
There was nothing that he could do about it. His son’s thoughts were full of the Big Bear Tribe’s food, and he couldn’t drag his son away!
And based on the current situation, if he went back to his own residence, it was highly likely that the Ape Beast King and others would come over to see the excitement and ask him about this and that… So he simply didn’t go back.
He definitely wasn’t here for the Big Bear Tribe’s food!
Why were the people of this Big Bear Tribe so smart? Those dishes and such, why were they so delicious when they fried them up?!
He used to always eat raw food. How many delicious vegetables had he wasted?!
The Rhinoceros Beast King spoke to the people of the Big Bear Tribe, “Baobei wants to eat here. Make him a few more dishes and be sure to make egg fried rice.”
“Alright!” The people of the Big Bear Tribe agreed. Hai Feng had collected quite a lot of materials during their trip, and they were very happy to make food for Xi Baobei. As for the Rhinoceros Beast King, it wasn’t a big deal to make some food for him too since he was a Beast King.
With that said, the people of the Big Bear Tribe began to open up the large parcels that they had been carrying.
The people outside were very curious when they saw this happening–this Big Bear Tribe had brought a lot with them. What kind of things did they have inside?
Inside were large bags of vegetables, some cut up pieces of meat, dinosaur eggs, and other ingredients.
There was a disappointed sigh from the onlookers outside.
Although some tribes were very poor and couldn’t even afford to eat meat, the tribes who came to participate in the Beast God Sacrifice were all tribes that weren’t short on food and could always eat their fill.
The things that they brought for trade naturally didn’t consist of food.
What about the Big Bear Tribe? One animal leather parcel after another was filled with nothing but food!
Some of them even contained grass… How poor were they?!
The Rhinoceros Beast King’s temper was really too good. He was actually willing to stay with such a group of people!
The Rhinoceros Beast King, who everyone thought was very good tempered, was actually feeling a bit greedy now. He really wanted to eat the Big Bear Tribe’s food.
Unfortunately, the food that the Big Bear Tribe made wasn’t comparable to what Zhou Ji made, but the food Zhou Ji made… Even Hai Feng couldn’t eat it, so he shouldn’t even think about it.
Some of the people of the Big Bear Tribe went to put together the stoves, while others dealt with prepping the ingredients. Zhu Zhan was to the side beating at the rice to remove the husks–this job couldn’t be done by ordinary people, and he had had to learn how to make use of his energy from Xiong Ye in order to be able to do it.
Ever since Xiong Ye told him that doing this task could make him stronger and would allow him to use his energy more easily, he had been very happy to do it.
The onlookers who were watching the show: “That tall man seems to be making rice?”
“The people of this Big Bear Tribe are really poor. They can only afford to eat rice.”
“Rice isn’t delicious at all.”
……
These people felt some compassion for the people of the Big Bear Tribe now. Yet at this time, the people of the Big Bear Tribe finished setting up their stoves and started putting pottery pots on them.
One pottery pot, two, three…
The people who were still discussing amongst themselves earlier all fell silent.
How could this Big Bear Tribe have so many pottery pots?
However, it still wasn’t over!
After bringing out the pottery pots, they brought out pottery bowls. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight of them… Everyone had one.
Wasn’t the Big Bear Tribe very poor, to the point where they could barely live? Why did they have so much pottery?
The people watching the bustle outside practically jumped out, and some people immediately ran off to go back to their own tribe and report, “The Big Bear Tribe has a lot of pottery! Quickly come and have a look!”
Before long, there were even more people joining the crowd of people who were watching the show outside the Big Bear Tribe.
Xiong Qi and the others: They just knew that these people were inexperienced and ignorant! So, there was no need to concern themselves with what these people said.
The people of the Big Bear Tribe began to cook.
The people around them were only roasting meat, but they made the process much more complicated. Even if it was just roasting meat, they would still add more seasoning than anyone else here.
On the way here, Zhou Ji had found a lot of seasoning. He wasn’t willing to cook for others to eat, but he was willing to share the seasoning with them.
Therefore…
“Why is the meat roasted by the people of the Big Bear Tribe so fragrant?”
“It turned out that that man was hulling the rice… how picky!”
“What are they making?”
“The vegetables are actually cooked together with the meat… This smells really good!”
……
The people who had originally looked down on the Big Bear Tribe all wanted to go over and ask for some food at this point in time.
Someone also said, “They have so much pottery, and they actually use it. They’re really rich!”
Indeed… The Big Bear Tribe’s current actions showed that they should be very rich?
The people of the Big Bear Tribe were still unconcerned with other people’s thoughts.
They were all busy with cooking.
Zhou Ji was also making food.
That day, he planned to make something relatively simpler: smoked meat and rice with a few other dishes.
He placed the smoked meat and the rice together to boil together and make smoked meat rice. As for the other dishes, he could make a few different types.
Simple stir-fry, chili fried, deep fried, boiled; in the time it took for the rice to cook, he used the materials that Xiong Ye had processed to make five or six dishes. Amongst them was a dish similar to twice-cooked pork; it had been fried with garlic shoots and was especially fragrant!
Not only did the people watching from outside feel envious, even the people in the Big Bear Tribe felt a little greedy.
Unfortunately, it would never be their turn to eat those dishes.
The Rhinoceros Beast King regretfully shifted his gaze away. Speaking of which, if Zhou Ji was willing to make him food every day, he would definitely be willing to join the Big Bear Tribe!
While everyone else was watching enviously, Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye comfortably enjoyed their dinner.
Zhou Ji took a bite of twice-cooked pork that wasn’t actually made of pork and said to Xiong Ye, “I think that Shi Li… something is wrong with him.”
“I think so too, there’s something wrong with his brain!” Xiong Ye said.
Zhou Ji: “……” Shi Li’s brain wasn’t broken. Earlier, he had probably just wanted to show off. He was saying that there was a problem with Shi Li because the energy in Shi Li’s body wasn’t right.
When he first came into contact with Xiang Tian, he had discovered a very strange matter–there were several different kinds of energy in Xiang Tian’s body.
At one time, he had thought that everyone outside was like this. After discovering that dinosaurs also had crystal cores, he had thought that it was because these people couldn’t fully absorb the dinosaurs’ crystal cores. However, Hai Feng had eaten many animals with crystal cores and didn’t have any trouble, and the Rhinoceros Beast King’s crystal core was also very clean and neat.
Xiang Tian’s crystal core… had definitely been problematic!
Zhou Ji had been thinking about how he would look into Xiang Tian’s situation if he encountered Xiang Tian during the Beast God Sacrifice this time. Yet he didn’t meet Xiang Tian and instead encountered Shi Li who had a problem similar to Xiang Tian’s.
Earlier, when Shi Li had released his energy to pressure them, he had been able to keenly perceive that there was a problem with Shi Li’s energy.
“I’m not talking about his brain… Shi Li’s body seems to have a problem.” Zhou Ji said.
“So he has problems with both his brain and his body?” Xiong Ye was a little surprised, and there was sympathy on his face.
Zhou Ji: “……”
Juurensha: Once again, the cooking show begins.
xiin: maybe we should pick up a cooking novel…
