She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 755: 【739】Beast World Farming 49 (Happy New Year)_3

"Sigh," he sighed heavily, his heart filled with infinite melancholy, why hadn’t they been the ones to bring the Goddess back home?

Frying the firm tofu was a time-consuming task. After a couple of hours, he had fried around fifteen jin of tofu, leaving five jin to be eaten fresh.

The tender tofu, however, was not suitable for frying because of its high moisture content, so it was also set aside to be eaten fresh.

While tending to the frying oil, he fried soybean-radish meatballs and lotus sandwiches.

The fried tofu was neatly arranged in ceramic pots, allowing the excess oil to drain off and facilitating the shaping of the tofu so it wouldn’t squeeze out moisture due to the heat, which could affect the texture. The meatballs and lotus sandwiches were placed in different pots, creating quite the impressive stack.

The entire afternoon was spent on these preparations, but no one was very hungry since they had snacked while cooking. The greasy goodies had filled them up, so even though dinner was late, she hadn’t shortchanged anyone.

Afterwards, he moved the iron frying pan to another stove to cool down. At least three to four jin of oil had been used—a testament to the day’s hearty eating.

Next, he switched to another pan to start stir-frying. He browned the white tofu until it was golden, then added scallions, ginger, and garlic, stir-frying until fragrant, followed by his homemade Chili Sauce to bring out the red oil. Next came cabbage and lotus sandwiches cut into strips, followed by adding his ground Five-Spice Powder and salt for seasoning, along with water, glass noodles, and more water. He then covered the pot to let it stew.

As the pot was about to be finished, he added the meatballs. This ensured that the meatball’s texture would remain optimal. Despite using starch to make them chewy, he still had to avoid overcooking them, as they would lose their elasticity and become less tasty.

Whether it was millet, sorghum, buckwheat, or millet corn, there was no time to mill or dry them out, so having flatbreads would have to wait a bit longer.

Luckily, one pot was quite substantial, and even without having a main dish, they would be stuffed tonight. To top it off, he made a tender, delicious nori-tofu soup.

The Beastmen were trying tofu for the first time; they were both excited and grateful, never imagining soybeans could be so magical.

Tangtang, however, felt this was just the beginning: "Just wait, I’ll make soybean sauce, soybeans, soy sauce, tofu skin. You’ll get to taste all its versatile wonders. We’re in no rush; we’ll take it slow."

However, that very evening, Tangtang fell ill. After all the non-stop work, how could she not come down with a fever?

Fortunately, she was still conscious. Being a doctor herself and having learned quite a few remedies for colds from Nanny, although some differed from those in her previous world since the plants were not the same, she had collected and prepared the identical ones whenever she went out.

If you asked her how she knew all this, she wouldn’t be able to tell you. It was as if her brain automatically revealed the methods upon seeing these items.

So, under Tangtang’s direction, Yin Ye brewed her medicine. The concoction was so bitter she couldn’t swallow it, resorting to a piece of fructose afterwards to chase away the taste.

She thought sweating it out would help, but who could have imagined her luck would be so bad?

Waking up in the middle of the night, she was startled to find herself in Yin Ye and Jin Han’s arms. She was supposed to be sleeping in her own room, wasn’t she?

"You’re awake? How do you feel now?"

She thought they were asking about her cold and was about to say ’fine,’ but a sudden warmth below her belly made her incredulously lift the covers to look. To her astonishment, she was already wearing a menstrual pad. But under the covers, the sheer lack of anything was a bit too inconsiderate, wasn’t it?

"You’re in heat," Yin Ye said calmly, his heart actually filled with joy. This meant their treasure had come of age.

Coming of age meant only one thing, clear as day, despite Tangtang’s earlier inoculation. But how could Yin Ye and the other Beastmen really take that into account?

So, when Tangtang saw the barely concealed excitement in his eyes, she pushed back with difficulty, only to realize there was a wolf in front and an eagle behind!

Yin Ye had actually been hiding his feelings quite well, but Brother Eagle had been increasingly anxious about her coming of age since her firm rejection.

Now that the moment had truly arrived, he didn’t know how to react, only caressing her hair gently.

"Actually, we should’ve noticed earlier. But we’ve been so busy these days, and you’ve been bustling around the stove, which has probably thrown off our sense of smell. We won’t let this happen again. You should take these next few days to really rest. If there’s any work to be done, just let us handle it. Since we passed the Cold Season last year, it seems like you’ve never had a break. It’s been really tough on you."
