Cured Meat

The next day, a dense crowd gathered outside Xue Ran's house. Everyone was discussing Qiao Yan's method of making cured meat.

Anna followed when she heard the news, but she was not really here to learn how to produce cured meat. Instead, she was prepared to find fault with her and cause trouble.

She hid in an inconspicuous corner with a male. That male happened to be Huang Yuan, who had tried to please Anna that day.

She wanted to see what tricks this b*tch Qiao Yan would play. What could she do about the food storage problem that even that old fart Kun Zhi could not solve?

If she failed, she could use this opportunity to trample on this b*tch!

Anna hid at the side and thought. At the thought of this, she immediately felt a little more comfortable. The anger in her heart dissipated a lot, and her face immediately revealed a malicious smile.

"Everyone's here? Then I'll show everyone how to do it."

Qiao Yan washed the blood off the fresh meat and cut it into pieces with a knife. Then, she smeared it with salt evenly. Finally, she lifted the meat up to show everyone.

Actually, Qiao Yan had never made cured meat before, but she had seen her mother make it, and she had even helped out at the side.

Her mother had said that the most important thing to make cured meat was to put enough salt in it. If there was too little salt, the meat would spoil.

At this point, Charon placed a thick layer of salt on the meat and smeared it very evenly, afraid that she would miss a corner. Then, she asked Xueran to find a rope to tie the meat up and hang it in the sun to dry.

"It's that simple? There's nothing else?" Kun Zhi looked at Qiao Yan in shock.

Qiao Yan smiled very sweetly. "No, no, it's difficult!"

Kun Zhi's eyes widened. "What other difficulties are there?"

"Everyone, you must remember to spread the salt evenly on the meat. You can't miss a single spot. You must completely spread it evenly, or the meat will spoil!"

Naki shouted, "Is this considered difficult? Isn't it fine as long as you have hands?"

Qiao Yan rolled her eyes at Naki. "How can you say such things? How is this not difficult? How many people have failed at this step? Do you know that!"

Naki was speechless for a long time. It looked really simple to him! How was it difficult? Was it more difficult than hunting? He really did not understand. Wasn't it just smearing some salt?

Could it be that his thoughts were really very different from a female's? He was really getting more and more confused. He felt that he had been tricked by Qiao Yan.

It was one thing for him, an outstanding male of the Naki Wolf Clan, to not be able to find a female partner, but why did he have to be confused by a female?

However, Naki did not know that he was about to pay the price for his underestimation. The meat he marinated was all spoiled the next day. Of course, this was only for later.

"However, I still have to remind everyone to pay attention to the salt consumption during this process. Everyone, pay more attention to storing salt!"

Everyone said in unison, "Alright." The problem of the salt was not an issue. In any case, they had learned the method to make salt. When the time came, they could just use the method taught by Qiao Yan to dry more salt.

Qiao Yan thought for a moment and said, "It's good that everyone learns this method, but remember not to publicize it because it might be detrimental to the tribe." Qiao Yan didn't think it was a good thing to publicize this method. The Snow Frost Tribe was already very strong, but they still lacked some important general knowledge about life, let alone the other tribes. What if they attracted others to attack the tribe?

Moreover, there was a saying in China that the bird that sticks out gets shot. It refers to people who always take the lead to do things.

Moreover, according to Xue Ran, there should be a very obvious hierarchy in this world.

The higher the level, the stronger the hierarchy. In that case, they would definitely know more, and their thinking would also be different. They would be different from the honest Beastmen in the tribe.

She was in an alternate world now, and she was a weakling.

If people knew that she had such knowledge, it might not be a good thing. It might be bad for her.

Moreover, she had yet to find Tianjiu in this world. If anything really happened to her, how could she continue looking for Tianjiu?

The dogsh*t System was also very unreliable. It did not reveal anything and she constantly felt that there was something wrong.

Xue Ran felt that what Qiaoqiao said was very reasonable. The method of storing food was tempting to every tribe. If the other tribes were to attack the tribe in order to obtain this method, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Qiaoqiao's words make sense. Just learn it and keep it to yourself. Don't show off arrogantly."

After hearing the Patriarch's words, all the Beastmen agreed. They were all eager to go home and produce their own cured meat. Before they left, they did not forget to thank Qiao Yan, making her feel somewhat awkward.

In the corner, Anna stared at Qiao Yan with a fierce gaze. It was unknown what bad tricks she was thinking.

"Qiaoqiao, you know so much. I feel like I'm not worthy of you anymore."

Qiao Yan, who had taught everyone how to make cured meat and looked like a good teacher, was shocked when she heard Xue Ran's words.

What was Xue Ran saying? How was he not worthy of her?

She should be the one who was not worthy of him. If his identity was placed in the modern world, he would definitely be a tall, rich, and handsome man who attracted the attention of others!

On the other hand, she was just a relatively ordinary girl in the modern world. She was a high school student who had just graduated. She had yet to attend university and did not have a job. She was even the kind of young lady who asked her parents for money at home.

"Xue Ran, why do you say that? Shouldn't it be that I'm not worthy of you? You're already the Patriarch at such a young age and are very promising. And if I'm still back home, I might still be someone who relies on my parents and is slacking off."

After Xue Ran heard that, his expression became even more certain. He said, "No, Qiaoqiao, I'm not worthy of you."

What was a Patriarch worth? He was definitely not worthy of such an outstanding Qiaoqiao. Qiaoqiao knew so much, but he knew nothing.

Even for Qiaoqiao's only wish to find her sister, he could not do it, nor could he satisfy Qiaoqiao. He was really a very useless partner.

Qiao Yan looked at his expression and seemed to understand. Did Xue Ran think that she was very powerful by teaching everyone something they didn't understand?

Heavens, Xue Ran, don't think that way. What was that bit of knowledge worth? At most, she was standing on the shoulders of a giant and borrowing from her seniors' knowledge.

These Beastmen did not know anything because of the environment they lived in. If someone like Xue Ran had someone to teach them and give them knowledge, they would definitely be better than her.

"Xue Ran, lower your head a little."

Xue Ran's blue-purple eyes looked at Qiao Yan as if he did not understand what she wanted to do.

Although he had doubts, he still did as he was told and lowered his head obediently.

Qiao Yan reached out to touch his head, but she realized that she could not reach it!

How annoying. This damn height. If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have stayed up late to use her phone in junior high. Now, she was so short. She wasn't even 160cm tall. How sad.

Qiao Yan endured the embarrassment and said, "Why don't you squat down a little more?"

Xue Ran looked at Qiao Yan and squatted down the next second.

Perfect! This way, she could touch his head.

Qiao Yan hugged the squatting Xue Ran and stroked his head. She whispered into his ear, "In my heart, my Xue Ran is the best partner. There's no such thing as being worthy or not! Xue Ran is a perfect match for me, okay?"
