asked Ajing to call over Ali, Ka Luo, and the others for a meal. Ayan was helping out at Chen Qi&#8217;s house and realized just how impressive Chen Qi&#8217;s cooking skills were. Despite being just a type of bean, under Chen Qi&#8217;s hands, it transformed into not only soy milk but also tofu pudding, and a variety of dishes like fermented tofu and mapo tofu. Ayan was dazzled by the array of dishes and his admiration for Chen Qi grew even more.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAjing, what happened to your head?\u201d As soon as he entered the house, Ka Luo saw Ajing sitting quietly at a small table in the corner, pressing his lips tightly together and not saying a word, while the little wolf cub comfortingly rubbed against his feet.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ka Luo found it quite unusual. After setting Ayao down to play by himself, he went over and rubbed Ajing\u2019s head, which Chen Qi had just cut. \u201cIt feels a bit prickly,\u201d Ka Luo commented, stroking his chin.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ajing angrily swatted away Ka Luo\u2019s hand and turned away from him, ignoring him.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ka Luo laughed mischieviously and leaned in even closer, undeterred by Ajing\u2019s reaction.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the end, Chen Qi, unable to just watch, spoke up to rescue Ajing. Chen Qi packed some food into a lunchbox and waved Ajing over and said, &#8220;Ajing, could you help me deliver this food to Aze and Ake?&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aze&#8217;s guard duty would last until the evening, while Ake was busy teaching archery to the beastmen from the Salt-Water Tribe at school. In contrast to the other beastmen who were focused on honing their skills, Ayan seemed more like he was here on vacation. He often dropped by Chen Qi&#8217;s house for food and drinks, frequently hovering around Chen Qi. If it weren&#8217;t for his older age, Aze would have been tempted to pack him up and throw him outside the city walls.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ajing shot Ka Luo a glare, ignored him, and quickly ran over to pick up the lunchbox before heading out.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The all-tofu feast was a novelty for the beastmen, but without rice, Chen Qi felt that the tofu&#8217;s flavor was somewhat diminished. It had been over ten months since he last had rice, and though he used to eat it every day without much thought, the long absence made him miss it quite a bit.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bd6fbca elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-phone elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bd6fbca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Crossing\u00a0 to Live in the Wilderness Plains (CLWP)\u00a0 is translated by Betwixted Translations.

After the meal, while Ayan and Ka Luo were busy cleaning up the dishes, Chen Qi took the opportunity to approach Ali. With a hint of concern in his voice, he asked, &#8220;Ali, what&#8217;s going on with you today? You seem a bit uneasy.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ali snapped out of his thoughts and shook his head. &#8220;I&#8217;m fine.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chen Qi poured him a cup of tea and gently asked, &#8220;Is it related to Azhang and the others going into the forest?&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ali hesitated for a moment before nodding slightly. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know why, but I&#8217;ve felt uneasy all day. They&#8217;re going deep into the forest this time, and I&#8217;m afraid something might happen to them.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chen Qi gently patted his hand and smiled, &#8220;Don&#8217;t worry, they&#8217;ll be back by tomorrow night at the latest, or the day after. If you\u2019re this worried, Azhang will be heartbroken when he returns.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hearing Chen Qi\u2019s words, Ali felt a bit embarrassed. He glared at Chen Qi and scolded him with a smile, \u201cWhat nonsense are you talking about?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seeing Ali&#8217;s gloomy expression fade a bit, Chen Qi felt somewhat relieved. Changing the topic, he asked, \u201cI\u2019m thinking about planting some fruit trees along the roads. What do you think about this?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFruit trees? Why would you plant them along the roads?\u201d Ali asked, puzzled.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The sun is so harsh right now; just the distance from here to the city gate is enough to make it uncomfortable. If we plant fruit trees along the road, they can provide both shade and fruit in this kind of weather. Isn&#8217;t that the best of both worlds?\u201d\u00a0 Chen Qi pointed to the sun outside. He really had no interest in going out in this weather, it was really too unbearable.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In his courtyard, there was a tall, wild fig tree with branches spreading out to cover most of the house in its shade. Even in the peak of summer, staying indoors didn\u2019t feel too uncomfortable. However, it wasn\u2019t the same for others. The scorching sun made the house unbearably hot, and even with all the doors and windows open, the heat wouldn\u2019t escape. Chen Qi had once gone to Ka Luo\u2019s house in the middle of the day and was driven out by the intense heat wave. He couldn\u2019t understand how the beastmen managed to endure it.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chen Qi sometimes wondered if Ayan frequently visited his house for this very reason.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hearing Chen Qi&#8217;s explanation, Ali nodded, &#8220;If you want to plant them, go ahead.&#8221; After thinking for a moment, he added, &#8220;If you&#8217;re looking to plant something, I&#8217;d suggest the red-fruit tree. The fruits may be small, but the tree itself grows tall enough to provide plenty of shade in the summer.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The red-fruit tree here produces red fruits that resemble lychees. Its growth pattern is somewhat unique. When summer first arrives, the tree is full of green leaves. After a month, the leaves fall off, leaving the tree covered in pink flowers. Another month later, the flowers turn into bright red fruits. If the fruits are not harvested promptly, they will naturally fall off after a month, and the tree will grow green leaves once more. In this way, the red-fruit tree could be said to be a special time-measuring plant in this world.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f208568 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-phone elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f208568\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Crossing\u00a0 to Live in the Wilderness Plains (CLWP)\u00a0 is translated by Betwixted Translations.

When Chen Qi heard Ali&#8217;s suggestion, he agreed that the red-fruit trees were very suitable. It had both ornamental and practical value, making it much better than other fruit trees.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThen let\u2019s go with red-fruit trees.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chen Qi was the type of person who, once he had an idea, would act on it immediately. He quickly ran to the storage room, took out all the red-fruits, distributed them for everyone to eat, and then saved the seeds. As soon as the sun went down, he grabbed his bone hoe and headed out.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ali had a lot of things to do, and Chen Qi also handed over those pieces of iron shells to him. However, Chen Qi didn\u2019t understand metal smelting; he only knew a bit about small furnaces and the so-called blacksmithing from TV dramas. He explained it to Ali, unsure if Ali would understand. In the end, Chen Qi could only focus on creating the shape first, as iron would melt at a certain temperature, and he could research it further later. Moreover, since the material could be reused, Chen Qi wasn\u2019t too worried.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chen Qi made several molds for Ali using clay, and then completely handed over the iron smelting task to him, not bothering with it anymore. After all, the temperature in the newly constructed smelting room was unbearable for ordinary people; even females had to remove their clothes to cool down, making it inconvenient for Chen Qi, a male, to stay on-site. Thus, after a hurried meal, Ali left and naturally had no time to help Chen Qi with planting trees. At this moment, Ayan, the free labor, came in handy.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Chen Qi&#8217;s view, Ayan, who was over one hundred and ten years old, could almost be as old as his great-grandfather. However, Ayan&#8217;s appearance was so youthful that he didn&#8217;t seem elderly at all, making it quite easy for Chen Qi to assign tasks to him.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chen Qi, of course, would not just plant the trees haphazardly and consider the job done. He used a piece of rope to measure the distance, ensuring everything was perfectly aligned and straight, to the point of almost having an obsessive-compulsive attitude towards aesthetics.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the road paved with mud bricks, Chen Qi chose to loosen the soil along the road. Just like planting other plants, he planted the seeds, watered them with diluted fertilizer, and then surrounded the area with sharpened bamboo stakes to create a protective enclosure.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ayan hadn&#8217;t participated in the planting yesterday and was encountering compost for the first time. He felt like he couldn&#8217;t breathe; he couldn&#8217;t understand how such stuff could be used to water things meant for consumption. It was the schadenfreude-filled Ka Luo who explained the reasons to him, merely repeating what Chen Qi had told him earlier<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ayan furrowed his brows, still looking like he couldn&#8217;t accept it.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After planting along both sides of the road, Chen Qi also planted a row around the city wall. When Aze and Ake, who had returned from their shifts and classes respectively, saw this, they came over to help. Planting the seeds was actually quick, but Chen Qi always took time to measure the distance properly and then surround the newly planted areas with bamboo stakes, which slowed down the progress<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This time, the red-fruit seeds were not enough to cover the entire perimeter of the wall. Seeing that Chen Qi still seemed unsatisfied, Aze said, \u201cHow about I go outside tomorrow and find some more red-fruit seeds to bring back?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-67a99261 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-phone elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"67a99261\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Crossing\u00a0 to Live in the Wilderness Plains (CLWP)\u00a0 is translated by Betwixted Translations.

We\u2019ll finish planting the rest tomorrow.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After speaking, Chen Qi looked at Ayan, who had spent ages choosing compost and was now smelling of it. He patted Ayan on the shoulder and advised, \u201cRemember to pick some more figs tonight and wash up.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c&#8230;&#8230;\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can I skip coming tomorrow?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next day, Ayan indeed didn&#8217;t return. He was taken by Ali to help with iron smelting, which made Chen Qi click his tongue in regret.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ajing had felt a bit down ever since Chen Qi gave him a crew cut. Chen Qi had previously made him a cloth hat to shield him from the sun, which Ajing wore every day and refused to take off. Chen Qi felt somewhat helpless and could only keep praising how good Ajing&#8217;s new hairstyle looked, how convenient it was to wash his hair, and how cool it felt. However, Ajing was completely unappreciative. Eventually, it took Chen Qi frying snacks for a whole week to finally cheer up the little rascal.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aze had set out early in the morning to find red-fruits for Chen Qi. This time, Ake joined him as well. Since they weren\u2019t going into the forest and wanted to train Ajing&#8217;s skills, they brought Ajing and the little wolf cub along.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ka Luo was going to the sewing classroom today to make clothes with the other beastmen. Since Chen Qi had designed various styles of clothing and dyed them in different colors, now everyone in Qi Ze City wore unique outfits with no duplicates.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everyone had their own tasks to attend to, and it was rare that no one came to find Chen Qi. Chen Qi was actually a bit unaccustomed to it.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After thinking for a while, Chen Qi decided to reorganize the vegetable garden in his yard.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The vegetable garden had quite a few cabbages, as well as some lettuce and oilseed lettuce. Unfortunately, they had grown for too long and had become old. Chen Qi decided to harvest the seeds and store them properly. However, he couldn&#8217;t bring himself to throw away all the good vegetable leaves. In the end, he decided to pickle all the vegetable leaves and then dry them into vegetable preserves. This way, they would have something to eat during the winter if food became scarce.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After harvesting all the crops, Chen Qi turned the soil and spread wood ash over it.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The water for the garden needed to be fetched from the well at the neighboring school, but Aze would collect the water every morning. To make it easier for Chen Qi to water the plants in the garden, Aze also made two large wooden barrels and placed them at the edge of the vegetable garden. Chen Qi only needed to use a small wooden bucket to scoop water from these barrels, making it very convenient.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After watering all the land, Chen Qi added another round of sugar to the wine he had been fermenting and stirred it. Worried that the wine might fail, he checked it several times each day, making sure there were no unusual smells before he felt reassured.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That evening, when Aze returned, he brought back something that pleasantly surprised Chen Qi. Although it wasn\u2019t rice, it was very similar to rice. In a place where there was no rice, it could be used as a staple food: millet.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIs this what you wanted?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chen Qi looked up and down at the familiar item with a face full of surprise.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a89aa6d elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"1a89aa6d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-44373b6c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"44373b6c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 style=\"font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-family: Lato, Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 600;\">Words from the Translation Crew<\/span><\/h3><p style=\"font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal;\">Miiya: Millet = rice?
