Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 191, Part 3

Seeing that the two were about to express their feelings and confirm their relationship, Jiang Luoluo wisely kept quiet and even moved her small stool to the side to give them enough space.

The scene Jiang Luoluo had envisioned did not occur; there was no irresistible hugging or kissing or anything like that.

Shou asked again, very excitedly and earnestly, "Yuan, are you willing to be with me and become a family?"

Yuan nodded earnestly and touched, and the two held hands briefly, which marked the end of the meeting.

The two of them tacitly sat down again and continued to deal with the birds in their hands.

Jiang Luoluo was filled with questions, feeling that the romance novels and TV dramas she had read back then would probably be considered 18+ in the tribe.

Of course, this is Jiang Luoluo's own complaint. In fact, the unrestrained environment in the tribe is more open. When it's hot, people can go down into the river pool to bathe without distinguishing between men and women, and no one cares.

Even during sacrificial ceremonies, men and women have to take off their clothes and wait to get "tattooed," while thousands of tribespeople watch. There's no such thing as strict gender segregation.

Feelings like shame are sensory experiences imposed on oneself. In the eyes of people who don't think too much about such things, clothes are simply tools to protect their skin from injury and a means of keeping warm during the cold snowy season.

The reason why Shouheyuan doesn't have that sticky feeling after establishing a relationship is simply because there's no such way of dating in the tribe; everything is based on practicality.

Therefore, rather than pouring out their hearts to each other or enjoying romantic moments under the moon, the most suitable way for them to communicate their feelings is to hunt together, cooperate in catching prey, and work together in a tacit understanding, which brings a feeling of spiritual connection.

Hugging, cuddling, and kissing each other isn't wrong, but why do it in front of others? When you're home alone, in your own little space, you can do whatever you want.

If you were doing this outside, and you ran into a simple, honest tribesman you didn't like, you might just get beaten up by both of you.

Jiang Luoluo accepted the outcome, but unfortunately she couldn't see any more gossip or entertainment. At the same time, she couldn't help but observe the two of them more closely.

Jiang Luoluo wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that after they started dating, their teamwork was noticeably better.

Occasionally, when they look up at each other, they'll exchange knowing smiles... Well, this counts as dog food (a Chinese slang term for public displays of affection), but Jiang Luoluo finds it tasteless.

Just like how, after getting used to all kinds of high-oil, high-salt, heavily flavored fast food, when you see this kind of healthy and light side dish, you might not feel like eating it.

Soon, while Jiang Luoluo was recalling the plots of the romance novels she had read, the dozen or so birds that were to be eaten were all processed.

The feathers on its body that needed to be plucked were all removed, and its sharp claws and hard beak were also cut off and processed separately.

Jiang Luoluo took the opportunity to get up, roll up her sleeves, and prepare to show off her skills.

Yuan was taken aback for a moment, "Luo, are you going to do it?"

The person standing by, who trusted Jiang Luoluo implicitly, spoke up for her, saying, "Yuan, Luo is very capable..."

Just as Jiang Luoluo was about to prove herself, she heard Shou recount her entire story, which earned her a look of utter shock from Yuan.

Yuan then believed it and, together with Shou, trusted Jiang Luoluo completely, handing over all the processed birds to her.

Let Jiang Luoluo do whatever she wants.

Jiang Luoluo felt a little embarrassed to face this trust.

However, Jiang Luoluo is still a child, and it's not very convenient for her to do many things on her own. So Yuan and Shou still have to be by her side, following Jiang Luoluo's instructions and helping her out.

Jiang Luoluo is preparing two dishes. The first dish is the famous "Beggar's Chicken"!

The main reason is that this method is the simplest and easiest. Otherwise, it would take a long time to make stews or other dishes with all these dozen or so birds, so Jiang Luoluo chose the more convenient method.

However, this bird is not a chicken; it should probably be called a "beggar's bird."

Moreover, the method was not entirely based on the Beggar's Chicken recipe; Jiang Luoluo made many appropriate changes.

Firstly, beggar's chicken is usually made by digging a pit in the ground near the campfire, burying the chicken in it, and then roasting it. However, in the terrain of the tribe, although it is possible to do this by digging a pit, it is too troublesome.

Instead, it was meant to bury more than ten birds, each about half a person's height, and the pit needed to be a little too big, which wasn't quite right.

Therefore, Jiang Luoluo decided to use the roasting method, placing a ring of sticks around the fire to save time and space. However, it required manual turning and adjustment to prevent uneven heating.

The method isn't complicated, it just uses a lot of jam. Fortunately, Jiang Luoluo's family has the most jam, and her neighbor Ke often sends over new jam, so she doesn't have to worry about running out.

First, the abdomens of these birds are emptied, and then stuffed with spices and seasonings such as scallions and green onions to remove the gamey smell and enhance the flavor.

Then, a thick layer of jam was applied to the smooth skin of each bird after its feathers had been plucked, and then an edible wild vegetable leaf was wrapped around it.

Once the entire bird is wrapped in leaves, the most important step is complete.

They took out some soil that Shou had painstakingly collected from outside, mixed it with water to make mud, and pasted it on the outside of the grass leaves, shaping each bird into a mud ball.

Then insert a sturdy, durable branch that is not easily ignited, and place it next to the fire to roast.

Jiang Luoluo's version of Beggar's Bird and Flower is now basically complete. All that's left is to wait for them to be fully roasted before enjoying their flavor.
