Chapter 216 216. Orc Aliang 03
Yun Tutu came in with a pile of firewood, and seeing Li Aiping's expression, he smiled and said, "Academician Li, don't worry, let's settle down first, and we will have plenty of time to go out later.

It's still very cold outside, let's replenish our energy first and then change into thicker clothes."

The temperature in this cave is unknown how many degrees higher than outside. They have just arrived here and need to adapt slowly.

Otherwise, since Academician Li is so old, Yun Tutu would not dare to take the risk easily.

If someone gets sick here, they have brought a lot of medicinal herbs, but for the elderly, sometimes a minor illness can be fatal.

"I was anxious," Li Aiping saw the earthen stove next to her. Although it looked a little ugly, it was better than making it herself.

"Put it here. When we were kids, we used to have a big pot stove. I know how to do this."

"By the way, don't call me Academician Li. That sounds too unfamiliar. Call me Grandma Li."

Yun Tutu readily agreed, "Then please trouble Grandma Li, I will go wash the vegetables and rice."

There is ready-made food on the bus, but the water and meat here are good things. Now that the Yuntutu people are here, of course they have to eat more.

While they were carrying the things, Amiwa brought a few female cubs to help, leaving Yun Tutu following behind empty-handed.

"Is Sister Yun not here?" A Zhan and A Liang came over carrying a large piece of meat, and when they found that only Li Aiping and the others were there, they asked curiously.

"They are going to clean things," Chen Yuxi poked her head out of the tent. The inflatable bed had already been made, and she was putting the finishing touches on it.

"Then I'll go find Sister Yun," A Zhan carried the meat and walked straight into the cave, and A Liang hurriedly followed.

Li Aiping looked at them thoughtfully. Chen Yuxi glanced at her and said, "Academician Li, how about I start the fire?"

Li Aiping came back to her senses, smiled and shook her head, "No need for such a small matter, I can do it."

Chen Yuxi, "Academician Li specializes in studying ancient plants. Is he planning to bring some samples back this time?"

"Yes, many of them have become extinct. If we can dig up a few plants and bring them back, it will be helpful for future research."

Chen Yuxi, "But the plane here is different from ours, and I'm afraid the plants are also different."

"That's no problem. The last time Yuntutu brought back a few seedlings, although they didn't survive, that was because we didn't take all the necessary measures when we transplanted them. I believe this time will be much better than before."

Chen Yuxi sat on a stone nearby and said, "Tutu is just a little girl, and she has never planted crops before, so it's amazing that she thought of bringing plants back.

The soil and climate of the two planes are different, so it is normal that the crops cannot survive."

"Comrade Yuxi misunderstood," Li Aiping said quickly after realizing she had spoken out of turn. "I didn't blame Tutu. I just felt sorry for those plants."

Chen Yuxi smiled but said nothing, and his impression of Academician Li also weakened a lot.

I hope she can cooperate with my work next time and not cause trouble for myself.

The fire was lit here, and Yun Tutu and the others came back with things, and also came with A Zhan and the others.

The little guy is not only holding a large piece of meat in his hands, but also carrying a thigh on his shoulders.

"Sister Chen, please cook the rice first. I'll prepare the meat. We're in for a treat today."

"Can you finish all this meat?" Li Aiping looked at the leg that was bigger than a cow's leg and hurriedly stopped Yun Tutu, "It will be a pity if you can't finish it." "It's not like you can't finish it. I have a big appetite," Yun Tutu continued to process the meat without even raising his head, "Besides, it's not just us who are eating it. I have guests here."

Li Aiping looked at A Zhan and the others, then sat back down and continued to make a fire.

After cutting and marinating the meat, Yuntutu did not forget to chat with Aliang and the others.

During the conversation, I learned that the weather began to slowly warm up the day after she left. Although the speed was extremely slow, it was a good change.

The ice layer that was originally several meters high has now begun to melt, and some of it has emerged from the ground, which also makes it convenient for them to travel.

They have been very busy these days, hunting and picking fruits, and have been having a lot of fun.

"Why don't you marinate the meat as I taught you before? Smoking and roasting it will preserve it for longer."

Yuntutu taught them last time, but this time when he came, he didn’t see any bacon or salted pork.

"We can't waste something as precious as salt," the orc Aliang grinned. The method Yuntutu taught them could preserve the meat longer, but it was not cost-effective.

Now that the ice and snow are beginning to melt, if they want to eat meat, they can just go out for a walk and get it. There is no need to waste salt on pickling.

Moreover, the salt used for pickling is too expensive. Not only the leader is reluctant to do so, but they are all unwilling to do so.

Yuntutu exchanged a lot of salt for them, and left some for them before leaving. But this thing is not like hunting, which can be obtained by just going out, so of course they have to cherish it.

Aliang looked at Yuntutu with even more gratitude, "You gave us so much salt this time, our tribe doesn't have to exchange it for decades.

Whatever you want this time, just tell the leader and we will hunt it for you."

When the orc Aliang and his companions went out to exchange things with the big tribes in the past, the good things would be picked out, and the salt they got in exchange was not only bitter, but also in very small quantities.

"No, those are all given to you by me. You invited me to be your guest, and this is the gift I brought. But you have to send more meat while we are here."

Yuntutu pointed at the meat in the basin and said, "Just call the leader over. I want to treat him to a meal."

Aliang had been looking forward to it for a long time. They also learned to make food like Yuntutu, but the taste was always very different.

I just hope that Aligu and the others can learn more this time. After all, female orcs are more dexterous than them.

After the orc Aliang left, Li Aiping looked at Yun Tutu and said with a smile, "They look not much different from us. Are they really orcs?"

Yun Tutu put the cleaned pot on the shelf and said, “No matter what it is, it’s a human being.

We should just follow the local customs when we are here and not be too surprised sometimes."

Li Aiping, "I'm just curious, so I want to ask you. After all, we're going to live here for a while. After hearing what you said, I roughly know what you mean. I will be mentally prepared."

Yun Tutu smiled and said that it was probably that this was the only chance for Academician Li to travel with them, and he hoped that everyone would get along well during this time.

Chen Yuxi took over Yun Tutu's position, "Let me do the cooking, you go take a rest."

Yuntutu is still very confident in Chen Yuxi's cooking skills. Although she is not as good as a master chef, she is much better than her.

With her taking the initiative, he was happy to have some free time. He carried some bread and walked into the cave. There were some old orcs inside, some of whom could no longer eat meat, so the bread was just right for them.
