Chapter 288 Hot Pot in the Rain
Due to the severe weather, the temperature inside the cave was significantly lower than the outside temperature.
A damp, chilly air filled the air, making people shiver.
Ruan Mianmian trembled as she took out a coat from her storage space and quickly put it on.
She wrapped herself tightly in her clothes, trying to ward off the chill, but she still felt a little cold.
Surprisingly, the beastmen resting in the cave seemed completely unaware of the cold.
They remained relaxed, sitting or lying down, seemingly unaffected by the low temperature.
At this moment, Yu busily lit several blazing fires inside the cave.
The orange-red flames leaped, releasing a warm light and heat.
Meanwhile, the earthen bed that had been built inside the cave for sleeping was not dismantled. Everyone lay on it, enjoying the warmth of the fire while watching the torrential rain pouring down outside.
"It was around this time last year, I think, when there was a really heavy rain. I remember Sen went hunting and never came back, I was so worried!" Zhi chatted with Hui beside him, looking at the raindrops falling outside.
Hui nodded and agreed, "That's right, I remember that rain very well! The rainfall was much heavier than this time, and the place where we lived before was completely flooded. What's worse, many people in the tribe fell ill because they got wet and cold, and the situation was very serious." Recalling those difficult days, Hui couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
Hearing their conversation, Ya's face broke into a bright smile, and he interjected, "That's right! But thankfully, our lives are getting better and better these days, all thanks to an excellent chieftain who leads us!" After saying that, he cast an admiring glance in the direction of the chieftain.
At this moment, Ruan Mianmian couldn't care less about anything else and was thinking about what to eat that night to warm herself up.
She looked outside and saw that it was pitch black, and felt the damp and cold air, so she decided to have hot pot for dinner.
The thunder had stopped outside, and the little beastmen, unable to bear the loneliness, happily ran around in the cave.
When Ruan Mianmian said she wanted to have hot pot for dinner, everyone agreed.
You should know that they ate a lot of hot pot last winter, but haven't had it since the weather got warmer.
The leader finally agreed to do it tonight, so why would they disagree?
So everyone got busy, some cooking in the stone pot, some carrying firewood, some looking for game meat...
Ruan Mianmian deftly pulled out all sorts of ingredients from her storage space.
Chinese cabbage, meatballs, bok choy, dried bean curd sheets...
You should know that her magical online store is practically omnipotent; you can easily buy almost anything.
However, she rarely buys condiments like these used for hot pot.
Because in Ruan Mianmian's heart, she always felt that living in the beast world meant preserving the original features and characteristics of this world.
Furthermore, she firmly believes that since she has already come here, she should adapt to the local rules and customs, and if she can avoid making changes, it is best not to change them arbitrarily.
After all, the money in the mall will eventually run out, and no one can predict what will happen in the future. Therefore, she always adheres to the principle of not buying unnecessary items.
This time, Ruan Mianmian specially selected several different soup bases.
Back in the winter, some orcs accidentally tried the spicy hot pot and became deeply fascinated by its unique flavor, finding it unforgettable.
So these beastmen began to work hard and even hoped that their leader would give them the hot pot broth as a reward!
This was completely unexpected for Ruan Mianmian!
Isn't it said that animals generally can't tolerate spicy food?
But look at those guys eating so happily and excitedly, could they all be imposters disguised as orcs?
Ruan Mianmian gave Sen the small knife she always carried with her. Since the beastmen loved to eat meat, it was perfect for Sen to handle the beast meat.
Of course, there was also a group of vegetarian orcs in the tribe. Ruan Mianmian generously bought all kinds of vegetables and fruits to make sure that everyone was satisfied with their meal.
The aroma of hot pot filled the entire cave in an instant. Everyone found their favorite spot with their preferred broth and sat down, skillfully cooking their food.
