Collin was still quite embarrassed as he shook his head, "This is your food. I can't eat them because I have to leave them for you."
Gu Mengmeng smiled, "How much can you eat? There's at least 200 over pounds here, can you eat all of them?"
Collin nodded his head seriously and replied, "Sure."
Pfft...
Gu Mengmeng did not hold it in as she burst out in laughter. She said helplessly, "Then, you can eat them all. You can just accompany me to pluck new ones tomorrow."
Collin thought for a while but he still did not do it. He said in a naive tone, "Then I'll wait till I pluck new ones for you tomorrow to eat these old ones."
Gu Mengmeng did not insist anymore. There were rules for the behavior of beasts in this Beast World. If she forced Collin blindly and Collin really ate these potatoes, he might become a laughingstock among his fellow tribesman. You never know, it might be a blemish when he wanted to find a partner in the future.
Gu Mengmeng said, "Everyone worked hard for a day, all of you have not eaten yet, right? It's too late, I don't know if there's still prey to be hunted..."
Elvis placed a hand on Gu Mengmeng's shoulder as he smiled gently, "What do you want to eat? I'll find it for you."
Gu Mengmeng thought for a moment and said she wanted to eat bird eggs.
This answer startled Elvis and the rest, that thing... is delicious?
But since Gu Mengmeng said it, there was naturally nothing he can oppose to. But Elvis was not as skilled as Barete and Oakley when it came to climbing a tree so the two readily promised to accomplish this task. They each evolved into a leopard and a lynx, then disappeared in the dark after a few leaps.
Collin stayed behind to accompany Gu Mengmeng handle the potatoes while Elvis went to hunt for some larger meat. He knew that Gu Mengmeng was timid and did not dare to eat a lot of food so he handled it outside before he came back and returned with pieces of meat. Without a sensitive sense of smell like males, Gu Mengmeng would not know what animal it was.
Of course, Gu Mengmeng also made a wise decision of choosing not to probe.
The stone pot was placed on the fire and Gu Mengmeng made Elvis slice the meat into even smaller pieces, then place it into the pot together with the peeled potatoes to cook them. Gu Mengmeng used soil to cover the 10 over bird eggs Barete and Oakley brought back before placing them around the fire to bake them. When the meat was almost cooked, Gu Mengmeng swept a little salt crystals with her fingernails and sprinkled it into the pot. After that, she used long chopsticks to stir the ingredients in the pot and an aroma immediately wafted.
At home, Elvis made the different cutleries Gu Mengmeng described. However, the scene of a bunch of males, who were used to eating with their hands, using chopsticks was relatively comical. Gu Mengmeng did not demand them to be like a gentleman as males in the civilized world. She simply picked a few big pieces of meat and placed it on the thin plate made out of stone before splitting it to the rest and teaching them how to grab onto it and eat it with chopsticks in ease.
Actually, to the appetite of the males in this Beast World, this pot of food was enough to fill one's stomach only a little. To make matters worse, this had to be shared among five people. So, everyone was just accompanying Gu Mengmeng to have her meal.
Oakley said while eating, "I heard that the water shuttles you hung over there is to prepare for winter?"
Gu Mengmeng nodded, "Yeah, preserve them like that so they won't go bad so easily."
Oakley added, "Today, the males in the tribe hunted quite a lot of things back. They are already handled well and cut into pieces according to Elvis's request. They will be sent to you tomorrow for you to preserve."
Gu Mengmeng was taken aback as she said, "Ah? You want me to preserve the food to last the entire tribe for winter alone?"
