Chapter 91: Bathing Together, Back-Washing Service!
In the end, A Lian, with a blushing face, squeezed into Lin Ye’s bamboo tube.
The bamboo tube was already not very spacious.
Lin Ye alone almost filled it completely.
After A Lian entered, the wooden bucket was completely full.
A Lian blushed and dared not look up.
The other beast-eared girls, however, looked at A Lian with envy.
Because the space in the wooden bucket was too small.
Any slight movement from Lin Ye would brush against A Lian.
The most critical part was that A Lian could float when she entered the water.
This was A Lian’s first time being so close to Lin Ye, and with the other beast-eared girls watching, A Lian didn’t know how to resolve the situation. A Lian thought for a moment, then pursed her lips slightly and said to Lin Ye with some embarrassment, “Ye, let me scrub your back…” Huh?
Scrub his back?
Lin Ye took a deep breath upon hearing A Lian’s words and looked at A Lian in front of him again.
Lin Ye enjoyed a wave of service from the milkmaid girl A Lian and comfortably climbed out of the bamboo tube.
This bath lasted for half an hour.
After coming out, Lin Ye enjoyed the feeling of the breeze blowing on him under the shade of tree “Five Eight Seven.”
The beast-eared girls also came out, their beast skin clothes all soaking wet.
After playing in the shade for a while longer, when their clothes were almost dry, Lin Ye finally spoke. “Let’s go dig up potatoes!”
After speaking, Lin Ye walked towards the vegetable garden.
Upon hearing about digging up potatoes, the beast-eared girls happily followed.
Everyone arrived at the vegetable garden.
Lin Ye began to teach the beast-eared girls how to follow the potato vines to find the potato roots.
Then, Lin Ye dug up a raw potato and showed it to the beast-eared girls, saying.
“Look, this is a potato. It’s buried in the ground, and you can find it with just a little digging.” Except for Sakura and a few others who had seen what a raw potato looked like last night.
All the other beast-eared girls were seeing one for the first time.
Seeing that this potato was different from the one they ate yesterday.
They all tilted their heads and looked at it carefully.
Then Lin Ye squatted down and dug up all the potatoes from that single potato plant.
One potato plant could yield about six to ten potatoes.
Each one was as big as a beer bottle.
However, Lin Ye had seen potatoes this big sold in supermarkets on Earth before.
Lin Ye had originally thought that the seeds provided by the system might have some magical properties.
But now, apart from yielding a few more potatoes per plant, he hadn’t found anything extraordinary.
The beast-eared girls also started squatting down to dig for potatoes.
One hundred potato plants, minus the one eaten yesterday.
The potatoes dug up from these ninety-nine potato plants piled up into a small mountain.
Lin Ye watched the dug-up potatoes with a smile.
“Go to the cave and find a place, spread a thick layer of dry grass, and then move all the potatoes into the cave.” Lin Ye said with a smile to the beast-eared girls.
Seeing so many potatoes, the beast-eared girls’ faces bloomed with joy. “Yes!”
After Lin Ye finished speaking, the beast-eared girls responded with a sound and began to transport the potatoes into the cave.
Lin Ye went into the cave, carrying two wooden buckets, and picked some relatively small potatoes, placing them in the buckets.
These were reserved as seeds. Once these potatoes sprouted, he would cut off the sprouted parts and plant them in the soil, and in a few days, he would be able to harvest more potatoes.
The land here had never had anything planted on it before.
Moreover, leaves and other organic matter would rot on the ground, becoming natural fertilizer.
Through years of accumulation, the land here was exceptionally fertile.
Even if potatoes were planted for decades, this land would not fail to produce potatoes due to a lack of nutrients.
After all the potatoes were transported back to the cave.
Lin Ye prepared to start making pottery.
This time, Lin Ye prepared a piece of clay for each beast-eared girl again.
However, this time, they were not allowed to improvise.
Lin Ye wanted to teach them how to make a pottery bowl and a spoon for eating.
They went to the water pipe, and only a small amount of water was still flowing out.
When the beast-eared girls heard that Lin Ye was going to teach them how to make pottery.
They all excitedly followed along.
“Ye, are we going to mold little clay figures again?” Sakura ran the fastest, ran up to Lin Ye, and asked with wide, excited eyes.
Hearing “little clay figures,” Lin Ye stiffened. He had developed a phobia of little clay figures.
He remembered the discussion among the beast-eared girls last time, about “Ye’s hardness,” “Ye’s breakage,” “Ye’s hands being pricked,” and “Ye’s warmth.”
Lin Ye quickly shook his head and then said to all the beast-eared girls.
“Today, I will teach you how to make a bowl and a spoon. From now on, you will eat with the bowls and spoons you make yourselves.” “A bowl? A spoon? What are those?”
Hearing Lin Ye’s words, the beast-eared girls were all confused.
Lin Ye shook his head and continued to explain.
“A bowl is a small pot, and a spoon is the thing you used to eat the potatoes with last night.”
“I will make a few more pottery pots. Then, we can stew potatoes in several pots at the same time, and everyone can use their own bowls to eat stewed potatoes simultaneously.” Lin Ye’s words piqued the beast-eared girls’ appetites. Thinking of the potato and beef stew they ate last night.
The beast-eared girls couldn’t help but salivate, swallowing a large mouthful of saliva.
Lin Ye’s words made the beast-eared girls impatient. Sakura’s saliva was already flowing down the corner of her mouth.
Xing took a small step forward and said to Lin Ye, “Ye, let’s start making them quickly.”
The other beast-eared girls quickly nodded, chattering, “Yes, yes, let’s start quickly!”
Lin Ye nodded with a smile and began to teach the beast-eared girls how to make bowls.
The coil pot construction method for making pottery is very simple…
It’s almost as difficult as playing with mud.
After demonstrating twice, with the beast-eared girls’ attention and meticulousness, they easily learned how to make them.
Making spoons was even simpler; they just needed to shape a spoon with their hands.
Everyone was meticulously looking down, making their own pottery bowls and spoons.
Lin Ye demonstrated to the beast-eared girls and also made one for himself.
Then Lin Ye began to make new pottery pots and pot lids.
With a pot lid, food would cook faster in a pottery pot.
The beast-eared girls finished making their pottery bowls and held them up to compare with each other.
Those who didn’t do well would look at others’ work and make revisions.
“Everyone should leave your own mark on your pottery bowls and spoons, so you don’t mix them up later.”
Lin Ye said to the beast-eared girls after seeing that they had all finished making their bowls.
However, the beast-eared girls did not have writing yet.
When asked to leave a mark, they didn’t know what to leave.
Until they saw Lin Ye leave the character ‘Ye’ on his own pottery bowl.
The beast-eared girls didn’t know it was the character ‘Ye’.
They just imitated Lin Ye and left various marks made of straight lines on the pottery bowls in their hands.
The beast-eared girls looked at the pottery bowls in their hands with smiles.
At the same time, they remembered this symbol that represented them.
“Alright, put all your pottery bowls and spoons here to dry slowly. They can be fired in the pottery kiln along with the pottery pots.” Seeing that all the beast-eared girls had left their marks, Lin Ye told them to place their pottery bowls and spoons in the shade to air dry. “Ye, can we eat potatoes tonight?”
After everyone had put their things down, Sakura’s voice came from beside Lin Ye.
Upon hearing this, the other beast-eared girls also turned their gazes to Lin Ye.
Lin Ye looked at the pottery pots that were only half-finished and gently shook his head at Sakura.
Seeing Lin Ye shake his head, Sakura and the other beast-eared girls seemed to deflate, their ears and tails drooping.
But Lin Ye’s next sentence revitalized them.
“We can’t eat stewed potatoes in pottery pots tonight, but we can eat roasted potatoes tonight.”
After Lin Ye said this, he saw the beast-eared girls’ ears perk up instantly.
The rabbit-eared girl’s long ears even made a sound when they perked up.
The beast-eared girls, who had been very disappointed just moments ago, now looked at Lin Ye with shining eyes, their tails wagging happily behind them. “Ye, can potatoes also be roasted and eaten?”
Susu stepped forward half a step, looking at Lin Ye with her alluring eyes, and asked.
The other beast-eared girls also started asking questions excitedly.
“Ye, will roasted potatoes taste as good as yesterday’s potatoes?”
“Ye, is roasted potato roasted like barbecue?”
