All The Furry Creatures In The Beast World Are Farming With Me – CH61

Chapter 61

Because he knew the sub-adults’ personalities, Lang Shuo usually did not place very high demands on them. When arranging work for them, he also tried to choose simple tasks that were not easy to mess up. Added to the fact that sub-adults were easy to talk to after they were full, they had never made any major mistakes. So Lang Shuo had not separately considered the issue of educating sub-adults. After all, in the face of filling their stomachs, nothing else was important.

But not paying attention to it did not mean the problem did not exist. These habits of the sub-adults were not good. Today, because turning roasted meat over was troublesome, they skipped the middle steps. Next time, when hunting, would they find lying in ambush troublesome and directly charge up to fight head-on?

Beastmen treated injury and even death relatively lightly, but this was not because they were naturally like that. It was because they had seen too much of it. In reality, some injuries and deaths could have been avoided. If special events such as migration and invasion were excluded, the Black Wolf Race’s casualty rate was far higher than that of the Snow Wolf Race.

Lang Shuo’s understanding of hunting was limited to what Lang Yu had told him, so he did not plan to change the sub-adults’ hunting methods. What he could do now was correct their bad habits.

Thinking of this, Lang Shuo waved his hand and had Lang Nuo and the others withdraw half the meat, then first bring over the skewered leafy vegetables.

When they skewered the leafy vegetables and meat in the afternoon, Lang Shuo had tested it first and made two kinds of dipping sauce.

The dipping sauce for the meat skewers was relatively simple. It was made from honey, fruit jam, salt, and other foods in proportion. The salty flavor carried a tiny bit of sweetness, appetizing and cutting through grease, pairing very well with the taste of meat skewers.

The dipping sauce for the leafy vegetables was a little more complicated. Fat-and-lean humming beast meat was minced and simmered into meat sauce, then mixed with a little crushed chili and prepared sauce before being spread onto the roasted leafy vegetables. Although it was somewhat different from the skewers of his previous life, it had its own unique flavor. Because of this, he had prepared especially many leafy vegetables.

Knowing the sub-adults’ resistance toward leafy vegetables, Lang Shuo had planned to have them eat roasted leafy vegetables in between meat skewers. First, they would eat a few skewers of meat to whet their appetite, then later eat one skewer of meat and one skewer of vegetables alternating. This way, it would neither be as greasy as eating roasted meat continuously nor as painful as eating vegetables all the time.

Because of the sub-adult black wolves’ actions, Lang Shuo decided to change the original order.

Lang Yong and the few sub-adults beside him, who were roasting meat, still did not know disaster was about to arrive.

A few sub-adult black wolves noticed Lang Shuo and Lang Nuo’s movements and found it a little strange. They looked at Lang Yong, then at Lang Shuo, not knowing whether they should remind Lang Yong that Lang Shuo seemed a little angry.

Lang Shuo noticed their gazes and gave them a look, telling them to come to his side.

Not all sub-adult black wolves had the same personality. It was just that Lang Yong and the others usually jumped around the most enthusiastically, while the few more cautious sub-adults had little say and could only follow them in the end.

Just now, when Lang Shuo had decided to teach several people to roast meat, the most active ones had been the usually liveliest group. If those few sub-adults who noticed something was wrong had gone to learn, they probably would not have been this bold.

However, at this moment, Lang Shuo definitely could not let them go remind the sub-adults who were still roasting meat.

The completely unaware sub-adults calculated the time. When half the time from before had passed, they flipped the meat skewers over.

“Eh?” The sub-adults looked at the already blackened meat skewers and raised their heads to look for Lang Shuo.

“What are you looking at me for? Look at the meat skewers. Didn’t I already teach you just now? Roast them yourselves.” For the first time, Lang Shuo did not coax them. Now that there was a problem, they knew to look for him. Then what he had said just now had gone in one ear and out the other.

After being scolded a little, the sub-adults lowered their heads and began studying the meat skewers.

So where had the problem happened?

While they were racking their brains but failing to understand, Lang Shuo began counting the number of sub-adults and considering how to distribute the grills.

Because they could hear that Lang Shuo’s tone was not very good, the sub-adults did not dare ask him. They looked at one another and decided to wait until the other side finished roasting.

The other side was also burnt.

After seeing the finished product, the sub-adults looked at Lang Shuo and discovered that Lang Shuo was counting the number of remaining sub-adults. They exchanged glances and, by tacit agreement, chose the same method.

Destroy the evidence.

As long as they ate fast enough, Lang Shuo would not discover that the meat skewers they roasted were this bad!

The sub-adults picked up the skewers with lightning speed, dipped them in the seasoning, and quickly put them into their mouths.

The meat slices were very thin, and after adding dipping sauce, they were not very hot. As for the taste, the dipping sauce was of course delicious, carrying the fragrance of honey and the fresh scent of fruit, but it was not purely sweet, so it tasted very good. As for the meat that had changed color—mm, it could still be chewed apart.

When Lang Shuo heard the sound of charcoal being chewed and turned back, the group of sub-adults had already wiped their mouths clean, each with a look as if nothing had happened.

Lang Shuo: “…”

He had wanted the sub-adults to learn a lesson, but he had not told them to eat random things. Looking at the sub-adults working hard to swallow the burnt meat slices into their stomachs, Lang Shuo felt both angry and distressed for a moment.

Without giving the sub-adults time to act freely, Lang Shuo quickly divided all the sub-adult black wolves into six small teams. He called over all the sub-adult snow wolves except Lang Nuo and Lang Wei, having one person lead one team in roasting.

The sub-adult snow wolves’ meat-roasting skills were not as good as Lang Shuo’s, but they all knew the most basic steps. Lang Shuo had originally planned to teach from the beginning, which was why he had personally done it. Now, it seemed that whoever taught them would have about the same effect.

After dividing them into groups, Lang Shuo had the sub-adult snow wolves lead the black wolves in roasting. This time, it was still one skewer per person.

For the first round, almost all the sub-adult black wolves followed the snow wolves’ movements. They even copied small movements like wiping sweat.

The first skewer of roasted meat was perfect.

Lang Shuo nodded and let them continue.

Starting from the second skewer, black wolves gradually began cutting corners, reducing the number of times they flipped the skewers.

Lang Shuo snorted coldly in his heart. He knew this was not an isolated case.

Lang Shuo let them roast three skewers first, hooking the sub-adults’ appetites, then suddenly called for a stop. “Regroup.”

The sub-adults did not understand, but they did as Lang Shuo said.

After the groups were divided, Lang Shuo had Lang Nuo and Lang Wei bring over all the skewered food. Behind the “cutting-corners faction” headed by Lang Yong were all leafy vegetables. Behind the few sub-adults who had honestly flipped the skewers were half meat skewers and half vegetable skewers.

After dividing them, Lang Shuo had the sub-adult black wolves stand behind and wait, while the sub-adult snow wolves and several snow wolf members responsible for cooking roasted the skewers together.

There were over a dozen people, and all of them were members who often roasted meat. Each person watching one grill was completely no problem. With dozens of meat skewers or vegetable skewers on one grill, in the blink of an eye, the surroundings were filled with the fragrance of roasted skewers.

This smell was far more fragrant than when each of them had roasted one skewer just now.

After the snow wolf members finished roasting, they placed the skewers into empty baskets. At the bottom of the baskets were plates to catch the oil.

Lang Shuo had everyone take a large bamboo bowl, then carried the baskets and began distributing roasted skewers. The group who had slacked off and not flipped their skewers had a handful of leafy vegetables in their bowls, while the other sub-adults had half a handful of meat skewers and half a handful of leafy vegetables.

The sub-adults whose bowls only had leafy vegetables: “???”

Even though they had not realized what mistake they had made, they could still distinguish meat from vegetables.

Lang Yong immediately asked, “Shuo, did you put the wrong thing on our side?” Why was it all leafy vegetables? A group of sub-adults who could not be happy without meat had only eaten one skewer of roasted charcoal that could not be identified as food and three skewers of roasted meat. They were exactly at the time when they needed to eat meat in large mouthfuls. Suddenly seeing such a pile of leafy vegetables, they froze in place.

Lang Shuo said, “It’s not wrong. I’ll tell you why later. All right, eat.”

The sub-adults headed by Lang Yong looked at the pile of leafy vegetables in front of them, then looked at the fragrant meat skewers on the grill. After struggling for a moment, they finally decided to eat first.

Maybe Lang Nuo and the others had roasted too few meat skewers. After finishing these, it would be their turn to eat meat skewers, the group of sub-adults thought.

However, in the second round, what Lang Shuo gave them was still leafy vegetables.

This time, the sub-adults hesitated longer. Their mouths were now full of the taste of leafy vegetables.

They had eaten stewed leafy vegetables and fried leafy vegetables before, but those all had meat added. They had never eaten purely vegetarian dishes. Every dish had at least half meat. But roasted leafy vegetables only had a little minced meat in the dipping sauce, which could almost be ignored. They really could not eat anymore.

However, Lang Shuo, who was usually easy to talk to, was very strict today. “If you don’t finish, there won’t be new skewers.”

The sub-adults who did not want to continue eating leafy vegetables could only continue eating with bitter faces.

They ate one bite of roasted leafy vegetables in their hands, then glanced at the few sub-adults nearby who had both meat and vegetables.

The few sub-adult black wolves being stared at grew nervous. Black wolves had snatched food from one another since childhood, and they were the portion that had been robbed. Even though after growing up, they no longer snatched food, being stared at by so many companions still made them worried. They could not help speeding up their movements.

Lang Shuo noticed something unusual and patted Lang Yong, who was the leader. “Why are you looking at them now? Why didn’t you look when roasting skewers?”

Those who had received meat skewers had strictly followed the steps. They flipped the skewers when it was time to flip them, unlike them, who flipped the skewers fewer and fewer times.

The sub-adults were startled back to their senses by the movement of Lang Yong being hit. Hearing this sentence, they finally understood why Lang Shuo was angry. Their method of roasting skewers had been wrong. It was just that the sub-adults still did not really understand which specific part had been wrong.

They raised their heads and wanted to ask, only to see Lang Shuo point at the leafy vegetables in front of them. They immediately did not dare speak and continued burying their heads in bitter eating.

After Lang Shuo waited for them to finish eating, he gave each of them another handful of roasted leafy vegetables.

One handful was five or six skewers, adding up to half a bowl of leafy vegetables. They had just eaten so many, and now it was still leafy vegetables. Seeing these, the sub-adults’ faces turned green.

Just then, a burst of noise came from not far away. Lang Shuo thought the hunting party had returned and turned to look behind him. It was indeed a hunting party, but not their tribe’s hunting party.

Lang Yan had brought the adult black wolves who had come yesterday, delivering one large and one small long-horned beast.

Seeing that Lang Yu was not there, Lang Yan had Lang Qi lead a few people to send the long-horned beasts to the place where the Snow Wolf Tribe tied the curved-horned beasts. He himself walked toward the sub-adult black wolves.

It was not his brother. Lang Shuo was somewhat disappointed, but he still opened his mouth to greet him. “Thank you for your trouble.”

Seeing that his expression was off, his tone was polite and courteous, and there was not even a hint of smile in his eyes, Lang Yan was slightly startled. For no reason, he felt a little guilty.

Until he lowered his head and saw the food in the sub-adult black wolves’ bowls, as well as the sub-adults wishing they could shrink their heads into their bowls.

Oh. The sub-adults had caused it.

Lang Yan imperceptibly let out a breath of relief, then asked with somewhat insufficient confidence, “What happened to them?”

Lang Shuo did not answer immediately. He gave him a look, indicating that he would tell him later, then lowered his head to look at the sub-adult black wolves who were trying to delay time because their chief had come over. “Are you full?”

The sub-adults really wanted to say they could stop eating, but they knew that if they truly said this, it would mean not only would they not need to eat leafy vegetables tonight, they would not need to eat meat skewers either. They hurriedly shook their heads. “Not full, not full.”

It was just that looking at the leafy vegetables in their bowls, they really did not want to eat them. They could only eat while secretly watching their chief’s expression, hoping the chief would notice their situation and rescue them from fire and water.

However, no matter how they asked for help, the chief’s gaze never turned toward them again. Discovering that Lang Yan seemed to have no intention of continuing to ask, the last bit of hope in the sub-adults’ hearts was also shattered.

A familiar voice suddenly rang out. “Yo, what happened here?”

The long-horned beasts had been taken over by several snow wolf members. Seeing that the Snow Wolf Tribe’s hunting party members were not there and that he was not very familiar with the other members, Lang Qi simply came over to look for Lang Shuo. The chief also happened to be here, so he could conveniently look at the sub-adults. As a result, the moment he came over, he saw the sub-adults wilting miserably and instantly became interested.

He absolutely loved seeing the sub-adults being scolded after making mistakes. Every time, he was afraid he would miss it. Lang Qi could not help quickening his steps. He wanted to see what mistake this group of sub-adults had made today.

However, as he walked closer, Lang Qi suddenly felt something was off.

The sub-adults had indeed made a mistake. Each of them did not dare breathe too loudly. But their chief’s expression was also somewhat off.

For some reason, this scene felt a little familiar.

Lang Qi tried hard to recall, and finally remembered. When Lang Lan was little, she often fought with other cubs. If the fight was too serious, Lang Lan and Lang Lan’s father would be chased out of the cave by Lang Lan’s mother.

At that time, Lang Lan’s father’s expression had been about the same as the chief’s now.

They really were related by blood. Sometimes, they were truly alike, Lang Qi thought. It was just that using this matter as a comparison was not very appropriate.

Lang Qi was thinking this when he saw Lang Shuo, who had been staring at the sub-adults, look toward him with an unfriendly gaze, probably dissatisfied that he had interrupted the sub-adults eating.

Lang Qi immediately put away his carefree expression and obediently stood behind the chief.

After being glared at, Lang Qi cried injustice in his heart. At the same time, he was somewhat puzzled. He had not done anything, so why did he also feel guilty?

He must have been affected by the chief! Although he did not know what the chief was feeling guilty about. With the chief acting like this, he also did not dare move around recklessly.

Lang Shuo waited until the sub-adults finished the third handful of leafy vegetables, then asked them, “Was it good?”

The sub-adult black wolves fell into unprecedented conflict.

This question was even harder to answer than the previous one about whether they missed Lang Shuo more or the food Lang Shuo made more.

Saying it was good was wrong, and saying it was not good was also wrong.

If they said it was good, what if Lang Shuo made them continue eating leafy vegetables? If they said it was not good, would Lang Shuo stop giving them even leafy vegetables?

No matter how they answered, it seemed they would not get to eat meat. The sub-adults were caught between two difficulties.

Seeing that they did not speak, Lang Shuo pointed at the sub-adults currently eating meat and vegetables together and asked, “Then is what they have delicious?”

The sub-adults headed by Lang Yong nodded without hesitation this time. “Delicious!” There was meat and leafy vegetables. This did not require any struggle. It was definitely delicious.

Now they were enthusiastic. Lang Shuo hated iron for not becoming steel and slapped them one by one. “If you know skewers with both meat and vegetables are delicious, how do you not know that skewers only roast well when you flip them back and forth? You even slack off when cooking? Hm? No wonder the food you make tastes bad! Do you slack off like this when doing other things too?”

The sub-adults scratched their heads where they had been patted. Lang Shuo had not used force, so it did not hurt at all. It was like being scratched. The group of sub-adults laughed foolishly, finally understanding why Lang Shuo was angry.

They would never slack off again!

Lang Shuo glared at the few sub-adults who laughed out loud. “Still laughing? Haven’t eaten enough leafy vegetables?”

The sub-adults who had nearly eaten themselves into green faces hurriedly shook their heads. “Enough, enough!” They had eaten more than enough leafy vegetables!

Lang Shuo distributed new skewers to them. This time, half was meat and half was vegetables.

In truth, according to the ratio of half meat and half vegetables per person tonight, he should give them a little more meat later. But if there were no difference, it would not count as punishment. Moreover, Lang Shuo was worried that giving only meat skewers later would make the sub-adults who tasted sweetness create some other trick.

In any case, eating one extra bowl of leafy vegetables would not affect them much, Lang Shuo thought. He spoke to the members preparing ingredients and had them skewer several more baskets of leafy vegetables. Only then did he look toward Lang Yan and Lang Qi, who had just come over.

Hearing his words, Lang Qi could not help moving back a little. The freshly skewered leafy vegetables could not be prepared for them, right?

What if Lang Shuo punished them along with the sub-adult black wolves…

Lang Qi quietly glanced at Lang Yan in front of him and found that the other party was very calm, not at all worried that Lang Shuo would also force them to eat leafy vegetables later. He instantly admired him.

Naturally, Lang Qi did not know that Lang Yan had completely relaxed only after hearing Lang Shuo say that the sub-adult black wolves had slacked off while cooking. Just now, his mood had not been much more relaxed than Lang Qi’s.

Lang Shuo had no way of knowing how much the two adult black wolves in front of him had imagined. He was only hesitating a little over whether to keep them for dinner.

Strictly speaking, the cooperation between the two tribes did not include meals for the adult wolves. But the other party happened to arrive at mealtime. Added to the fact that the sub-adults had brought two curved-horned beasts in the morning, even if the sub-adults had large appetites, they would not be able to finish them all in such a short time.

If Lang Yu were here, he could still discuss it with him. But today, the hunting party had still not returned. Lang Shuo hesitated for a moment, exchanged a look with Lang Yun, and finally said, “How many people did Chief Lang Yan bring? Find a place to rest for a bit. I’ll get bowls for you.”

Making tables was rather troublesome, and the Snow Wolf Tribe currently did not have the habit of using tables. Usually, when eating, everyone held their food and found a random place to eat. Today, they were eating skewers, and Lang Shuo was worried that oil and sauce dripping on the ground would attract too many flies and ants, so he had everyone use bowls to catch the drips while eating.

Since he was keeping Lang Yan and the others for dinner, he naturally had to first give them bowls.

Hearing this, Lang Yan said, “Twenty-two people. Thank you.”

“All right.” Lang Shuo nodded and went to get tableware.

After Lang Shuo left, Lang Qi quietly asked Lang Yan, “Boss, what if he only gives us leafy vegetables?” Lang Qi was truly worried that Lang Shuo would vent the sub-adult black wolves’ mistakes on them too.

Lang Yan pointed toward the other side. “Were they punished?”

Lang Qi looked over. It was the few sub-adult black wolves who were usually more obedient. Normally, those sub-adults did not have a strong presence, and he had almost forgotten that among the sub-adults in the tribe, there were still a few obedient ones. If Lang Shuo had not mentioned them earlier, he would almost not have noticed them. Thinking of what Lang Shuo had said just now, Lang Qi shook his head. “No.”

“Then what are you worried about?” Lang Yan asked flatly. “Go call the others over to eat.”

Lang Qi did not dare say anything else and obediently went to call people over.

Lang Yan looked at the sub-adult black wolves eating with their heads buried. With just one glance, he withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the snow wolf members roasting skewers.

One sub-adult snow wolf was moving a little slowly and was looking around, seemingly wanting to find Lang Shuo.

Lang Yan walked over and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Stomach hurts.” Lang Nuo held the skewers in his hands. This batch had just been placed on the grill, and everyone else was busy. No one could help him watch them. He wanted to find Lang Shuo to help, but unfortunately, Lang Shuo was not there, and the surroundings were noisy. Even if he called someone, the other party would not hear.

“You go. I’ll roast them,” Lang Yan said.

Lang Nuo was somewhat hesitant. It was not that he did not trust Lang Yan, but out of the twenty-plus sub-adults, only five or six were obedient. Lang Yan had not even learned yet. Could he roast them well? If he was like Lang Yong and the others, these dozens of skewers would be wasted.

Even though the tribe now had enough food, Lang Nuo still could not bear to waste things like this. He still remembered the feeling of being hungry before snow season.

He really was not very reassured.

“Flip them back and forth. Brush oil on pure lean meat, right?” When Lang Shuo had scolded the sub-adult black wolves, Lang Yan had observed the process of the snow wolves roasting meat. It was not difficult. It just required care, as some meat slices burned easily.

Lang Nuo nodded. “Right, right, right. Then remember to flip them often. I’ll leave it to you! Remember to wash your hands first. The water is over there.” As expected of a chief. He was much more reliable than those undependable sub-adults like Lang Yong.

Lang Yan took over Lang Nuo’s grill. First, he washed his hands according to the other party’s instructions. While scooping water, he studied the container holding it. The Snow Wolf Tribe seemed to have many of this unfamiliar kind of container.

Withdrawing his gaze, Lang Yan flipped the skewers on the grill, then picked up the plant on the oil bowl and dipped it in oil to brush onto the lean meat.

After completing this task, Lang Yan brought the plant in his hand close and smelled it. It carried a slightly special scent. This kind of plant was divided into two colors. The underground part was white, and the aboveground part was green. Its smell was a little strange. They usually did not eat it. The Snow Wolf Tribe seemed to have quite a lot of it and even used it to brush oil onto meat.

Lang Yan put the thing back, flipped the meat skewers over again, and quietly let out a breath of relief as he smelled the fragrance coming from the skewers in front of him.

When Lang Shuo came over carrying a basket of bowls, the adult black wolves had already found places to sit. Lang Shuo had said to find any place to sit, but they also did not sit randomly everywhere. They all sat beside the sub-adults.

The two groups of black wolves did not look very different in age. The adult wolves were slightly more steady, but only slightly. Looking at their little movements, one could vaguely see the shadow of the sub-adults.

Lang Shuo handed the bowls to them. Looking at the adult wolves obediently holding their bowls, Lang Shuo nodded. Adults really were different. They were easier to manage.

There was one bowl left in the basket. Lang Shuo looked around. “Where’s your chief?”

Lang Qi had discovered earlier than Lang Shuo that the chief was gone. Hearing this, he also looked confused. He wanted to know too.

It was the sub-adults who had finished eating early who knew the answer. “Over there! Roasting meat.” The sub-adults shouted.

Lang Shuo looked in the direction the sub-adults pointed and indeed saw Lang Yan intently flipping the roasted meat. After seeing the other party’s movements clearly, he could not help nodding.

The young ones were disobedient, but the older one was all right.

Seeing that the meat skewers in front of him were almost done, Lang Shuo walked over and said, “Go wait. I’ll take care of the rest.”

Lang Yan’s movements were much more skilled than before. He shook his head. “You go handle your work first. I’ll practice a little.”

“All right. If there’s anything you don’t know, ask me or ask them.” Lang Shuo did not force him. It was rare to have a black wolf eager to learn, so of course he had to support him. If that group of sub-adults had even three-tenths of Lang Yan’s seriousness, he would not have had to force them to eat three rounds of leafy vegetables.

“All right,” Lang Yan agreed, his hands still very steady.

Lang Shuo nodded with satisfaction. Eager to learn, serious, focused. As expected of a chief, he was smart.

When Lang Yu returned to the tribe with the hunting party, he did not see his younger brother at first glance. Remembering that they had said this morning that they would eat roasted skewers tonight, he directly walked toward the grills. Before he even approached, his steps paused.

What did he see? Lang Yan was roasting meat there. His younger brother was beside him. The two were saying something quietly, and his younger brother seemed very satisfied with the other party’s enthusiasm, nodding from time to time.

Lang Yu’s vision went dark.
