Chapter 218: Returning Home to Farm!
Since Setsuna herself was a beast-eared girl with wolf genes, she understood even better how terrifying wolf packs were. Bringing back wolf cubs meant that not a single wolf was left alive. Otherwise, it would have been a battle to the death. At this moment, Sakura and Diona looked at Setsuna, who was about their age, with curiosity. Following her gaze, they saw that she was looking at the three wolf cubs behind her. Sakura tilted her head and looked at Setsuna. After thinking for a moment, she spoke, “Your name is Setsuna, right? Do you like wolf cubs too?” “We can give you one. Just the right amount for the three of us to each have one.” Setsuna, who was lost in thought, snapped back to attention at Sakura’s voice. After savoring Sakura’s words, she looked at Setsuna again in shock. “You want to give me a wolf cub?” Setsuna asked in disbelief. Sakura nodded sweetly. Diona chuckled and said, “Yes, there are only two of us, but we have three wolf cubs, and we can’t feed them all. We’ll give you one, and then the three of us will each have one. Hehe.” After speaking, Diona grinned at Setsuna. Setsuna paused for a moment, then nodded happily. Seeing Setsuna nod, the two cat-eared little girls also giggled happily. Xing, seeing that Setsuna, Sakura, and Diona were quickly getting along, smiled and helped everyone unload things from the carriage. The three lolis began to squat in front of the three wolf cubs, choosing their own wolf. The three gray wolves were all about the same size, with only subtle differences in color. However, Sakura and Diona could distinguish them at a glance. In the end, Sakura chose the one that ate the most. Diona chose the most timid one. As for Setsuna’s, it had a circle of white fur around its neck. After choosing, the three of them took the three wolf cubs to play. After this incident, Sakura and Diona forgot that they had come to play with Lin Ye. After the other beast-eared girls unloaded everything from the carriage, the sky slowly darkened. When it was time for dinner, they saw that Lin Ye was still fast asleep and didn’t wake him. After they finished eating, they all returned to the wooden house to sleep. The next day, as the sun rose, Lin Ye woke up. He got out of bed and found that the beast-eared girls were no longer in the wooden house. He walked out of the wooden house and came to the open space. After washing his face simply, he went to the vegetable garden. He found that in the few days he had been away, the beast-eared girls had planted another crop of potatoes. After looking around, Lin Ye stood in the vegetable garden and opened the system shop. He exchanged the agricultural planting technology that he had been eyeing on the way. Lin Ye spent a full 50,000 points to exchange for this kind of knowledge. After the exchange was complete, a large amount of knowledge flooded into Lin Ye’s mind. Feeling this long-lost sensation, Lin Ye smiled and closed his eyes, beginning to sort through the knowledge in his mind. Just by looking at the volume of knowledge, he knew that the 50,000 points were well spent. After a long time, having sorted through all the knowledge, Lin Ye focused on the cultivation of wheat, grapes, and jujube trees. Then he returned to the open space. The beast-eared girls were chatting idly. Lin Ye walked over and said to them, “Everyone, stop idling and come with me to weed.” Hearing Lin Ye’s words, the beast-eared girls immediately stood up excitedly. After so many days of idleness, the beast-eared girls felt like they were growing hair. Now that they heard Lin Ye was back, they finally had something to do. One by one, they stood up and looked at Lin Ye eagerly. “Ye, what do we need to do? Hurry up and take us,” Susu said to Lin Ye. Seeing how proactive the beast-eared girls were, Lin Ye couldn’t help but smile. He then said, “You don’t need me to take you anywhere. Just go to the vegetable garden to weed and clear out a space. We’re going to plant something new.” Hearing Lin Ye’s words, the beast-eared girls’ eyes lit up. “Ye, what is it? Is it delicious?” Sakura asked Lin Ye with blinking eyes. Lin Ye smiled and nodded at Sakura, saying, “Yes, it’s delicious. It’s called wheat, and once it’s grown, everyone can eat delicious wheat rice.” Hearing Lin Ye’s words, the beast-eared girls became excited. Then, one by one, they hurried towards the vegetable garden. Setsuna also followed everyone curiously. Meanwhile, Lin Ye rubbed his stomach. After sleeping until now, his stomach began to protest after a little movement. Since the beast-eared girls had all gone to weed, Lin Ye, with a smile, quickly walked towards the cave. Arriving at the cave, Lin Ye took two potatoes and put them in the pottery pot. While looking for dried meat, Lin Ye spotted a piece of dried meat that was almost all fat and very little lean meat. Looking at that piece of fatty meat, he thought about the ingredients and seasonings he had at hand. A hint of excited smile appeared on Lin Ye’s face. Taking that piece of fatty meat, along with the seasonings and potatoes, Lin Ye carried the pot and ran towards the water pipe. After washing both the potatoes and the dried meat, he ran back to the open space. He cut the fatty meat into pieces. He cut the potatoes into thin strips. He lit the fire. He placed the pottery pot on it. Lin Ye threw the fatty meat in. Soon, the oil from the fatty meat was fried out. Then, using chopsticks made of two wooden sticks, Lin Ye removed the fatty meat. He added chili peppers and Sichuan pepper. Then he added the potatoes. He stirred rapidly with the chopsticks. Finally, when he felt that the potatoes were almost cooked, Lin Ye squeezed in some lemon juice. And so, a primitive version of shredded potatoes was made. He took the pottery pot off the bonfire and, smelling the long-lost aroma, Lin Ye eagerly began to eat. In fact, it didn’t taste very good. Although there was salt and chili, many things were still missing. The pottery pot was just enough for stewing, but a little lacking for stir-frying. However, Lin Ye still ate with relish. Soon, Lin Ye finished half a pot of shredded potatoes. A look of happiness filled his face. After washing the pot and putting it back in the cave, the beast-eared girls also came back, covered in mud. “Ye, we cleared out a large area. Come and see if it’s enough,” Sakura reported to Lin Ye, running over. The beast-eared girls also smiled and nodded at Lin Ye. Lin Ye affectionately patted Sakura’s head. He didn’t go to check the vegetable garden first. Instead, with his hands behind his back, he took out the wheat seeds stored in a medicine bottle from his storage space. He walked to a flat, large stone and poured all the wheat seeds onto it. Then he said to the beast-eared girls, “Everyone, come over here. You all have something to do next.” Hearing Lin Ye’s voice, the beast-eared girls immediately gathered around. Seeing the wheat seeds Lin Ye had poured onto the stone, Shi blinked and asked Lin Ye, “Ye, aren’t these the plants we exchanged for at the Xu Shi? Are these plants delicious?” Lin Ye nodded and said, “Yes, they are delicious. I saw them in the forest before, but they weren’t as big as these ones we exchanged at the Xu Shi.” The beast-eared girls listened to Lin Ye and stared curiously at the wheat seeds on the stone. Seeing everyone staring at the wheat seeds, Lin Ye picked up a wheat stalk and said to the beast-eared girls, “These wheat seeds are covered with a hard shell. To plant them, you need to peel off this shell.” “What you need to do next is to peel off the shells of these wheat seeds.” “But you have to be careful, these wheat seeds have a thorn, so don’t get pricked.” Lin Ye demonstrated as he explained to the beast-eared girls. Peeling off the outer shell of the wheat wasn’t difficult. Moreover, these wheat grains were several times larger than Earth’s wheat. Each one was almost as big as Sakura’s little finger. Lin Ye looked at the wheat he had peeled. After peeling off the yellow shell, the seed inside, which was used to grind into flour, was also yellowish. Lin Ye wasn’t surprised to see it was yellow because when he exchanged for the agricultural planting technology, he had seen descriptions of the color of wheat.
