Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 99 Bonfire Banquet

The entire tribe was immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the harvest.

It wasn't until nightfall, when the sky had completely darkened, that the caravan finally came to an end and stopped.

It doesn't mean that transporting prey takes from morning till night and is still not finished; rather, it means that the prey is transported in more than one trip.

The first group to return had set off yesterday and only returned to the tribe this morning. When they met the tribespeople who came to meet them, some of them went back to move the game again.

When the last batch of prey left the stronghold, it was already dark by the time they returned to the tribe.

But the tribe did not become quiet as a result; instead, it became even more lively.

Because Chief Jing was on the summit of Silver Peak Mountain, he held a grand bonfire feast for the returning hunting party. All the tribesmen could participate, and there was no food restriction, so everyone could eat their fill.

This shows that the hunting team had indeed reaped a great harvest this time.

The bonfire feast started at noon and lasted until evening. There was nothing fancy about it; it was just simple grilling, dividing, and eating meat.

However, it is precisely this simplicity and purity that brings genuine joy to everyone.

The prey brought back by the hunting team was at least five or six meters long; there were hardly any small prey, as it wasn't worth carrying hundreds of kilometers back.

However, such large prey is troublesome to process and takes a lot of time to prepare food for more than 2,000 people in the tribe.

Therefore, the entire campfire feast used only the simplest roasting methods, focusing solely on cooking the prey thoroughly, without employing any culinary skills.

Giant bears over ten meters tall, giant pythons over twenty meters long... different kinds of huge wild beasts were skinned and bled in front of all the tribesmen, and some simple treatments were done.

Then cut it into smaller sections or pieces, skewer them on thick wooden sticks, and roast them directly over a fire.

Once cooked, it's taken down and placed in the middle of the crowd. Anyone who wants to eat it can take their stone knife and cut off a piece of the cooked meat.

After all, the largest stone pot in the tribe is only two or three meters in diameter at most. It can serve one or two hundred people at the same time when making soup, but it is really impossible to put a whole game that is more than ten meters long into it. Roasting meat is much easier and less laborious.

Otherwise, just thinking about making enough food for two thousand people would take forever. Unlike now, the meat is cooked and ready to eat, and it keeps flowing without any shortage of meat.

Even in the Fish Cave, Chief Jing had a large, roasted piece of meat cooked and carried over, showing that he hadn't forgotten them.

However, the children in Fish Cave are all around ten years old and don't eat much, so they don't really need that much meat. The piece they sent over will probably last until tomorrow.

Children like Little Fish King Biao, who are older, over ten years old, are able to freely leave the fish cave to find food for themselves.

They've been staying on the big rocky mountain since the beginning, so they're directly participating in the bonfire feast at the summit. They don't need to go back and fight with their younger siblings for food.

After all, given their age, they will awaken into orc warriors and be qualified to participate in hunting in less than two years. It would be better for them to observe and participate in group activities like this, as they can learn a lot from it, which is better for their future than staying obediently in the fish cave.

Jiang Luoluo stopped at each type of grilled meat with great interest, took out her small stone knife, cut off a slice of meat, and carefully tasted the texture and flavor of the different wild animals.

Then determine whether it can be used as an ingredient in your next new dish.

Jiang Luoluo, who often eats the same type of meat, is eager to try some new meats to enrich her taste experience.

In Jiang Luoluo's eyes, some meats are suitable for boiling, some for roasting, and some for frying. You can't treat all meats the same way. You have to take advantage of their different characteristics to bring out their wonderful qualities as food.

Simply put, Jiang Luoluo was craving it.

……

As a member of the hunting team who performed exceptionally well in this hunt, Ge was helping to roast the meat next to Chief Jing and the shaman—yes, all the prey today was processed and cut up by Chief Jing himself, while the other orc warriors were responsible for roasting it.

Only someone with extraordinary physical strength and power like Chief Jing could easily dissect his prey.

Even when the meat was cooked, Jiang Luoluo had to put in a lot of effort to cut it off, while Chief Jing could cut it off bone without batting an eye... It was truly terrifying.

So Jiang Luoluo was wandering around eating meat all by herself.

During her wanderings, Jiang Luoluo saw Mao talking awkwardly to his father. The two seemed like strangers and didn't look like father and son.

Upon learning that the fire in their wooden house had gone out and it was no longer habitable, Mao's father, Ke, remained calm and accepted the situation without much surprise, perhaps because he had already anticipated this day.

So more than being shocked, he was gratified that his son had taken on the responsibility of a family while he was away, choosing a new cave and a new home for himself.

This means that his child has grown up and is even able to make decisions for himself—so that even if he doesn't return safely from a hunt, his child can still survive.

That's good, he can rest assured now.
