The next day, Chen Qi opened his eyes and was startled awake by a large deformed-looking head because it was too close to the window. The person outside also obviously found out that Chen Qi was awake and stepped back away from the window. It was only then that Chen Qi could make out that it appeared to be a familiar face, the young adult female from the tribe, Ale.<\/span><\/p>

Ale grinned happily at Chen Qi. He felt that this transparent window was very novel, so he leaned in towards it for a closer look, only to find that he could see Chen Qi asleep in the room. Ale stepped away awkwardly and disappeared, away from the window.<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi came out of his room and saw several beastmen sitting in the living room. Aze was cooking meat congee while talking to Azhang.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cChen Qi, you\u2019re finally up. My brother said he would leave for the forest after eating the meat porridge.\u201d As soon as he saw Chen Qi, Ka Luo hurriedly beckoned at him.<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi greeted everyone and sat down next to Aze. Just then, the other beastmen from the tribe also lifted the door curtain and came in. As soon as Ale entered the room, he awkwardly scratched his head and apologized to Chen Qi. Seeing Aze’s puzzled look, Chen Qi explained in a low voice.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI really want to build such a house too. It\u2019s big and bright.\u201d This was from the middle-aged female who had helped Chen Qi bring back the salt stones from the Lion-Wolf Tribe, who was called Ahxu.<\/span><\/p>

Ale nodded repeatedly. If he had such a house, he would surely have been able to bring back the male he met at the Lion-Wolf Tribe.<\/span><\/p>

Ka Luo’s interest was more on the meat congee that already started to exude a tempting aroma. He frowned when he saw Chen Qi cut up some wild ginger and added it into the congee. “Chen Qi, why did you add in the wild ginger? Wild ginger tastes so bad, and you even chopped it up.”<\/span><\/p>

Aze cooked two large pottery dishes of meat congee. Although the other beastmen had eaten before they came over, they were obviously interested in this unique cooking method. They usually only cooked rice berries for the children. This was their first time seeing a beastman mix in minced meat to cook the rice berries.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWild ginger can dispel the cold. It’s too cold outside. Eating a little wild ginger can help make your body warmer.\u201d Chen Qi saw that the meat porridge was almost done cooking and seasoned it with some salt before filling a bowl for Ka Luo. Ka Luo took it and handed it to Ake, who was beside him.<\/span><\/p>

There weren\u2019t many pottery bowls in the house. Chen Qi could only use bamboo tubes to serve as additional bowls. Everyone had a filled bowl. Worried that Aze would still be hungry if he only drank porridge, Chen Qi cut up some cured meat, added half a cabbage and cooked up a large plate of stir-fried meat and cabbage.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The eyes of the beastmen, who were eating Chen Qi’s cooking for the first time, lit up. When they looked at Chen Qi, their eyes seemed to even glow. They also silently recorded the steps Chen Qi made when cooking in their heart and planned to go home and try to make it for themselves.<\/span><\/p>

Although they were unaccustomed to the taste of wild ginger, everyone was satisfied with the food. After breakfast, everyone felt warm all over and they didn’t want to waste any time. After the meal, they prepared to set off. Chen Qi helped Aze put on the white cloak he\u2019d made yesterday and got another wave of curious looks. Only Ake glanced at the two of them with a pensive expression.<\/span><\/p>

After everyone left, Ka Luo couldn\u2019t wait to say to Chen Qi, “Chen Qi, please teach me how to make yesterday’s fried meatballs.” Ka Luo recalled the taste from yesterday and couldn’t help swallowing his saliva.<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi couldn’t help having some black lines. <\/span>They had just finished breakfast and were already thinking about the next meal?<\/span><\/i> “I’ll teach you how to do it at noon.” Chen Qi’s gaze swept over the area outside the house that Aze had cleared yesterday. After one night, the whole place was covered with snow again. Chen Qi pondered for a moment before telling the two men, “Let’s clear the snow outside the door first.”<\/span><\/p>

When Chen Qi said to clear the snow, naturally it would not be as simple as Aze\u2019s shoveling the surrounding snow aside. Their house had no wall. Although there were no animals in the plains, there was no guarantee that hyena-drakes would not pass by and find that people were living here. Therefore, Chen Qi planned to use the surrounding materials to build an ice wall around the perimeter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

To build the ice wall, naturally he needed to map the perimeter to the desired size. Chen Qi set out to encircle the perimeter to more than double the area of the yard, in order to have a large enough space to accommodate for more activities. Chen Qi used a root string as a ruler to ensure the wall would be built straight. He worried that the root string would not be obvious amidst the snow so he sprinkled charcoal on it. Then he used the previously made wooden shovel to shovel the snow around the specified areas. Every so many shovels of snow, he\u2019d pat down the snow with the shovel before continuing.<\/span><\/p>

Ali obviously didn\u2019t understand the function of the wall. \u201cChen Qi, what are you planning to do with all the snow?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cBuild an ice wall which can be used for defense.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cUncle Ali, you will know what it is used for once it is built.\u201d Ka Luo, who also did not understand, said. They did not understand a lot of things Chen Qi did when he first started to do them. However, they end up easily understanding them after Chen Qi made it. Therefore, Ka Luo\u2019s first reaction to whatever Chen Qi would do was to let him finish it first before discussing further.<\/span><\/p>

After thinking about it for a moment, Ali also picked out a wooden plank to join the snow shoveling party.<\/span><\/p>

The width of the wall was a full half a meter, which naturally required a lot of snow to be gathered. These two days of snowfall was only half a foot deep. Even after all the snow around the house was cleared and shoveled to designated areas, only a short knee-high prototype was built.<\/span><\/p>

Because of the snow, Aze no longer needed to fetch water from the Chishui River these two days. Chen Qi melted some of the snow and sprinkled the water over the wall prototype. The wall, which was not tall to begin with, became somewhat shorter.<\/span><\/p>

Although it didn’t look like there was much snow in the places marked out by Chen Qi, it really took a lot of time to do all of it. The three men were busy until the afternoon to roughly encircle the space with the wall. Ka Luo’s stomach was already growling with hunger. As soon as the work was finished, Chen Qi taught them how to fry the meatballs.<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi had used a lot of oil cooking yesterday\u2019s dishes. Naturally, he didn’t want to <\/span>deep <\/span>fry more food today, so he asked Ali to help mince half a dish of cured meat and chop up some cabbage with the dragon-horn knife. Then he cut open a rice berry, poured in some of the juice and mixed in some salt, then molded the processed cabbage and meat paste into thin cakes. He then added oil into a hot pottery dish and fried the prepared patties in it. When both sides\u00a0 turned golden brown, Chen Qi set the first batch of the finished product into a ceramic bowl and handed it to the two people who had already had to swallow down their saliva because of the fragrance.<\/span><\/p>

Ka Luo handed a spoon to Ali before not hesitating to scoop a large spoonful for himself. The crispiness was much better than those already cold ones Ake had brought back yesterday. “Chen Qi, it’s very delicious.” Ka Luo’s mouth was full of food and his praise came out mumbled.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cCome and try to make it yourself.\u201d Chen Qi handed Ka Luo the wooden spatula in his hand.<\/span><\/p>

Ka Luo quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, straightened his face, recalled the steps Chen Qi had done just now, and fried a few of them under Chen Qi’s guidance. Unfortunately, this novice did not control the heat very well on his first try, and all of them were burnt.<\/span><\/p>

Ka Luo took a bite of one of his fried patties. It had a mushy texture. He frowned with a little disdain at his own craft.<\/span><\/p>

The results of his second batch were much better, at least not all of them were burnt. Although it was not as good as Chen Qi’s, Ka Luo was already very satisfied. His mind had already begun to plan to make some to celebrate Ake\u2019s return from hunting the hydrochoerus dragons. Ake would be surprised.<\/span><\/p>

Ali also fried a batch. After several demonstrations from the other two, Ali had already mostly mastered the process, and his first batch was similar to that of Chen Qi\u2019s.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWhy is it that the same thing is made by different people yet the result is so different?\u201d Ka Luo shoved one of Ali’s freshly fried patties into his mouth and could not help muttering.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cYou will do better than Ali after you practice it some more.\u201d Chen Qi patted Ka Luo on the shoulder comfortingly.<\/span><\/p>

So, in order to let Ka Luo practice more, everyone ate some not-very-delicious burnt cabbage and meat patties for lunch.<\/span><\/p>

In the afternoon, it started to snow again. This time, there was a lot less snow, but it lasted longer. It didn’t stop until the next morning. After the three of them had finished the not-very-delicious lunch, Ali asked Chen Qi to teach him how to make shirts.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The hide clothes made by the beast people were simply made by cutting out the holes for the sleeves on a piece of hide. In the winter, when the weather turned colder, other pieces of hide were tied to the arms to form the sleeves. Therefore, Ali was very interested when he saw Chen Qi’s clothes that already had sleeves attached. Unfortunately, he hadn\u2019t had the time to ask to learn it from Chen Qi.<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi had experience making several T-shirts, and yesterday, he\u2019d tried and was successful in making a shirt. Although the material this time was changed to use animal hides, the process to make it did not change much.<\/span><\/p>

Ali was first going to make clothes according to his own size, while Ka Luo sat next to him and listened studiously. Chen Qi taught the two men how to cut the desired size of animal skins. Since they were making shirts, they didn’t need to sew up the whole piece like for T-shirts and just needed to sew up the cuffs.<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi took out the shirt he\u2019d made yesterday and handed it to Ali. Ali seemed to be naturally good at hand-making things. Chen Qi explained it simply and he already understood what to do. After the experience of making hide backpacks, Ali was also very skilled at piercing the skins. It didn’t take long for a shirt to be made.<\/span><\/p>

The shirt was actually more like a coat. Chen Qi drew the shape of a button and asked Ali to make several of them out of wood. Then he sewed them onto the hide shirt and a piece of clothing was completed.<\/span><\/p>

Ali had brought over about three or four pieces of fur pelts. After the first garment was done, he proceeded to make another one. This time he also sewed the collar on. Chen Qi and Ka Luo also made some hide clothes. Although Chen Qi\u2019s was better looking than Ka Luo\u2019s, it obviously didn\u2019t look as good as Ali\u2019s. After gaining some more sewing experience, the quality of the clothes made by Ali was almost the same as that of the coat Chen Qi wore.<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi had to admire Ali’s handiness, so he dug out two pieces of fabric and two animal skins and asked Ali to help make some clothes according to Aze\u2019s and his own size. Ali gave him an easygoing smile.<\/span><\/p>

When the snow stopped the next morning, Chen Qi taught them to fry potato cakes. These so-called potato cakes followed the same method to make the patties yesterday, just replacing the cabbage with potatoes. After they had breakfast, Chen Qi and Ka Luo continued to pile the snow onto the wall while Ali was sent by the two to sew clothes in the room.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
