After brushing his teeth, Su Bai ate a simple breakfast and sat down at the table to handle some matters. [When the Chieftain of the Spotted Deer Tribe comes, we will start discussing cooperation. Once cooperation begins, there won’t be much time left before reclaiming the Ancestral Land, so it’s time to start planning.]
[Ding! Congratulations Host, check in successful.]
[Ding! Congratulations Host has received Low Grade Assistance: one box of instant noodles.]
Su Bai saw the instant noodles appear out of thin air in front of him. His eyes widened and he had an indescribable expression.
He paused for a while, then sighed with a smile, [Back on Earth, it was instant noodles every day, and now after transmigrating here, it’s still instant noodles. Still, it’s different now. Having instant noodles could be considered a luxury item now. After eating greasy roasted meat each day, a box of instant noodles is truly a Heaven-sent blessing…]
Yu Ying heard a faint sound and looked up, pausing her work on the linen cloth.
She saw a box of something suddenly appear on the Shaman’s table and curiously asked, “Shaman, what is that?”
Su Bai looked down at the instant noodles, then looked up at the puzzled fox eared girl.
His mouth twitched a few times, feeling a bit embarrassed. He thought to himself, [Next time I should not open Assistance Packages in front of anyone.]
“Something delicious? Is it roasted meat?” Yu Ying’s first thought was roasted meat.
“It’s not roasted meat. This is called instant noodles. Go call Ah’Hua, I’ll prepare it for you two to eat,” Su Bai said gently.
When there was something delicious, he still thought of the Yan Jiao’s Daugther. It was a way to repay her for the first time she roasted meat for him. At least, that was how Su Bai convinced himself.
“Instant noodles?” Yu Ying scratched her cheek and continued, “I’ll go find Ah’Hua now.”
Ten minutes later, the fox eared girl brought back Yan Hua. By now, there were three wooden bowls on the table in the Teepee.
These wooden bowls were all made by Gu Mu yesterday and had been sent over. There were wooden bowls, wooden basins, and wooden buckets. Even the table in the Teepee had also been replaced with a wooden table.
“Shaman, what are instant noodles?” Yan Hua asked curiously. She had stopped her training when she heard there was food.
“You’ll know once you try them. They taste even better than Wolf Tail Grass Noodles.” Su Bai smiled.
The two curiously sat down at the table, staring at the three bowls of instant noodles, unable to take their eyes off them.
Yan Hua sniffed, smelling the wafting aroma, and exclaimed in delight, “It smells so good!”
Su Bai lifted the wooden board covering the wooden bowl and said, “You can eat now, go ahead.”
He picked up the chopsticks and stirred the noodles in the wooden bowl, letting the sauce blend perfectly with the water. Of course, the chopsticks were also made by Gu Mu.
Making chopsticks was not difficult; just take two similar wooden sticks and polish them. The challenge was making them smooth and cylindrical. In this regard, choosing a straight wood to work with was important.
Yu Ying followed what Su Bai did, lifting the wooden board and starting to stir. Still, just lifting the lid amazed her. The aroma from the instant noodles was inhaled deeply by the fox eared girl. She repeatedly praised, “Shaman, these instant noodles smell so good!”
“Although it smells very good and looks red, can we really eat it?” Yan Hua also lifted the wooden board.
“This is spicy beef flavour. The red colour is from the chilli. Quickly try it.” Su Bai had already started slurping.
Yu Ying also followed suit, clumsily picking up the chopsticks and starting to grab the noodles. Being her first time using chopsticks, she often failed to pick up the noodles.
She bit her tongue slightly, trying several times, and mumbled, “Shaman, I still don’t really know how to use the chopsticks.”
When the chopsticks were first made, she always thought these two sticks were for stabbing meat to eat. She did not expect they were for picking up food.
When they ate Wolf Tail Grass Noodles before, they used wooden sticks to scoop into their mouths but were unable to learn how Su Bai used them.
“Then, just scoop the noodles into your mouth. Take it slow, no rush to master the way of the chopsticks.” Su Bai smiled.
Watching the fox eared girl use chopsticks was always a source of joy for him. Now, the Tribe had started teaching people how to use chopsticks.
The benefits of using chopsticks were obvious, certainly better than using dirty hands to grab or wooden sticks to stab food.
“Shaman, look! I picked it up!” Yan Hua said proudly. She learned how to use chopsticks after just a few tries.
“Taste it, quickly. Don’t let it soak for too long, or the noodles will get too soft and won’t taste as good.” Su Bai urged.
Yan Hua put the noodles from the chopsticks into her mouth, chewed several times, then widened her red eyes in surprise. “It really is so good!”
“It really is better than Wolf Tail Grass Noodles. It’s the most delicious thing I’ve ever eaten in my life!” Yu Ying’s fox tail kept wagging as she enjoyed the food.
“Drink the soup too. The soup is also delicious.” Su Bai had already finished both the noodles and the soup.
These instant noodles truly satisfied his cravings. It had been too long since he tasted delicacies from Earth. Now that he could finally have some, he had to cherish it properly.
Yu Ying also took a sip. Although it was a bit spicy, it was a tolerable level of spiciness.
She nodded repeatedly in satisfaction and praised, “Shaman, you’re really amazing. Did you always eat these before?”
“Yes, every day.” Su Bai smiled bitterly. It was indeed back on Earth; he would eat instant noodles for late-night snacks every day.
“Shaman, you were really blessed.” Yan Hua took a big gulp of soup, thinking to herself that life in a Large Tribe must be good, with so many different foods to eat.
Su Bai paused, looking at the two innocent girls, and solemnly said, “In the future, you will be this blessed too.”
Because of this incident, he became even more determined to develop the Tribe. He was resolved to lead the Tribe to a better future.
