【Quick Wear】My Years as a Mother-in-law

Chapter 307: Primitive Tribe Chieftain Mother-in-law 27

Yun Xi took out various ingredients and prepared to make a pumpkin steamed cake for the children. Pumpkin steamed cake is not complicated and does not require yeast compared to steamed buns. Then she thought, no one in the tribe has ever eaten pumpkin steamed cake, so it is better to make more so that everyone can try it. It can also provide everyone with some starch supplement in disguise.

Take two large pumpkins, peel them, and cut them into pieces. Steam them for 15 minutes until they are soft and sticky.

Ever since she was able to transform into a beast, Yun Xi felt that she had become much stronger and could easily break open such a big pumpkin with a kitchen knife.

The second step is to add some white sugar while the pumpkin is still hot, and after it is mashed into a relatively fine paste, start adding glutinous rice flour in small amounts and multiple times, stirring it into large granules, and then start kneading the dough. The dough does not need to be kneaded very smooth, just knead it until there is no dry powder and it is of medium hardness.

Pinch a small piece of dough, knead it in the palm of your hand until it is moist, then roll it into a ball. Take a toothpick and use it to press out patterns. Insert a chopped red date on the top, and the shape is ready.

After everything is done, put it in the steamer and steam it for 12 minutes after the water boils. When the time is up, take it out of the pot and the soft, glutinous and sweet pumpkin steamed cake is ready.

Once she started, Yun Xi felt it was very simple. Everyone had a big appetite, so each steamed cake was made quite large, five per person, and six pots were steamed.

Shu also stewed six pots of beef, which was marinated with ginger and had no fishy smell. Unfortunately, he had not found any iron ore, so he had no iron pots and could not eat stir-fried dishes. Most of the dishes were steamed, boiled or stewed.

"You serve the food, I'll go check on them."

As the sky gradually darkened and evening approached, it was time for dinner. Near the backyard, Yun Xi could faintly hear the laughter of her tribesmen. She stopped and listened quietly.

"Tails, you blush so easily. I wonder if your future partner can handle it."

"It's too early to talk about partners. My mother said that it's not appropriate for blood relatives to have children."

"That's right. I wonder if there will be new orcs coming to join us? The two of Weiya will definitely look for foreign women."

"What will come out?"

"Don't worry. Although it's difficult to determine which parent's animal form the offspring is, according to inherited knowledge, all children born by females in our tribe will be dragon cubs."

"So if a female leaves the tribe and goes to another tribe to receive the mark of another totem spirit, she will also give birth to dragon cubs?"

"Of course!"

"Yes, that's what's in the inherited memory."

……

Everyone was talking about it.

"He wants to choose Guo as his partner, so what about you, Miao? Do you like He and Hu?"

Miao Aojiao raised his head and glanced at the river and the lake. "The river is a bit lazy and unhygienic, but the lake is pretty good. I'll wait and see."

He's expression was stiff, and he said in a deep voice, "I'll pay attention."

Lian looked at the river and then at the lake, frowning in thought.

He Bang's sister fought back, "Tao, Miao is still young, there's no need to rush. What about you? Do you have someone you like?"

Tao said without hesitation, "My partner isn't as strong as me, but at least he's not much weaker than me. I've never met a male like him before!"

"Tao, choose someone from our tribe. We have many warriors in our tribe."

Cloud Tribe joined the group chat.

"Is your chief willing to let his warriors come to our tribe?"

"Uh……"

Cloud Tribe exited the group chat.

?

"Okay, let's get ready for dinner. Don't waste time. It'll be hard to see in the dark."

"Great."

The tribesmen hung the beef on a bamboo rack and smoked it over a bonfire. They hurried to serve the meal: a bowl of pumpkin soup, a bowl of stewed beef, and a plate of pumpkin steamed cake.

"Wow, today's food is so novel."

A woman named Xiong An from the Yuncai tribe looked at her food with unfamiliarity, especially pumpkins, which she had never seen before.

"Xing, what is this?"

Xing is outgoing and cheerful, but she's no fool. She rolled her eyes, not knowing what she was up to, and cunningly said, "It's pumpkin. Try it. If you like it, you can trade it with us for seeds."

Xiong An took a tentative bite and said, "Wow! It's sweet!"

As bear orcs, they love honey as much as bears do, but there are too many people and too little honey, so they can't get much.

"Can I change it? It's delicious! Sweet." Xiong An squinted his eyes happily and savored the taste in his mouth carefully. In front of the sweetness, the meat seemed to have no fragrance.

Yun Xi didn't notice this. While chewing slowly, she said to Xingyue, who was in charge of the supplies, "The cellar should be dug out soon tomorrow. We won't need too many people to divert the water this afternoon. Take a few people with you to make clothes from the animal skins, one set for each person. The sixty animal skins are just sitting there anyway, so make some extra quilts for backup."

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements." Yue readily agreed. "Chief, when will the food storage be finished?"

Yun Xi said meaningfully: "It won't stop until winter comes."

Yue didn't understand, "Why? Isn't it enough to have enough to eat?"

dong dong dong~

The closed door was suddenly knocked, and the tribesmen immediately put down their bowls and chopsticks and became alert.

Lian stood up and opened the door. "Who are you?"

"We are here to seek refuge. We heard your tribe is recruiting people."

……

Yun Xi stood up and walked to the door. When she heard this, she stepped forward to look around. She didn't bring anyone in. "Which tribe are you originally from?"

The families across the street look like two families.

"We are from the far north. There is a war over there!" The man covered his face in pain, tears streaming from between his fingers.

War? Yun Xi was horrified. "Come in and tell me in detail."

"We are the Snow Wolf Clan, and I am the chief of the Snow Wolf Clan. The north has been occupied by the Gray Wolf Clan and the Hyena Clan."

"Don't be impatient. Take your time."

Yun Xi handed her a pumpkin cake. Xue Qing took it and ate it up quickly. The remaining nine people looked at her eagerly, so she handed one to each of them.

"The drought in the north has eased significantly thanks to a heavy rain, and the mountains burned by wildfires are recovering quickly thanks to the Beast God's blessing. But before they could fully recover, the hyenas and gray wolves of the grasslands set their sights on the Cold North." Xue Qing was sad. "The Cold North is vast, sparsely populated, and rich in resources, yet it's been targeted."

Another woman said tiredly, "You should also be careful. The appetites of those two tribes will not be easily satisfied."

Everyone in the tribe looked solemn. They had not expected that an orc would develop ambitions and take action so quickly. After a while, Yun Xi took the initiative to break the deadlock. "You should settle down first. Tomorrow, swear an oath to the totem spirit. If the totem spirit accepts you, you can stay."

"Thank you for taking me in." Xue Qing's tense nerves relaxed a little as she introduced herself, "My name is Xue Qing. We in the Snow Wolf clan take Xue as our surname. This is my daughter Xue Lian, a member of the tribe Xue Qi. She is holding the little male Xue Jiu in her arms. Those six people are from the Ice Bear tribe." Xue Qing introduced them one by one.
