Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!

The soil at the foot of the snow-capped mountains is frozen very hard, making it extremely difficult to dig out a ten-meter-deep hole from it.

Relying solely on Jiang Lai would definitely be time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Now, with ready labor available, it should not go unused.

Ayuan was planning to start digging with a stone handle but was stopped by Jiang Lai.

"With this, you plan to dig until the year of the monkey?"

Having said that, Jiang Lai passed the entrenching tool to him.

"Use this."

It was yet another novel contraption he hadn’t seen before, Ayuan weighed it in his hands twice, a peculiar light gleaming in his eyes.

No male can refuse such a tool; even in modern times, this thing is quite cool, let alone in the Ancient Continent.

After arranging everything, Jiang Lai returned, as now the tribe had a few more mouths to feed, and cooking took more time each time.

Jiang Lai managed the meals for the first few days until those old wolves’ bodies almost recovered, then Jiang Lai started the training.

First were the two elderly grandmas; they were old enough that walking was strenuous, let alone one having had her right leg bitten off and the other her left.

Two elderly women supporting each other to walk, their appearance is indeed pitiful.

So, heavy work is surely not doable; hence Jiang Lai brought them into the kitchen.

In the clean and neat kitchen, beneath two earthen stoves, the fire in the stove was still burning, a pot of corn boiling within, and the sweet aroma filled everyone’s nostrils.

"Grandma Fu, Grandma Wang, starting today you will learn to cook with me."

"Chief, we have cooked all our lives, this you needn’t worry about."

Jiang Lai shook her head.

"No no no, what you used to do was merely cooking the food until it was done, that isn’t cooking. When I say cooking, it should not only fill the stomach but also taste good."

Without food supply, the basic requirement is merely to fill the stomach.

But now, with ample food supply, merely filling the stomach is far from enough.

Jiang Lai showed them the chopping board and knives, things they had never seen before.

Before, within the tribe, cooking involved simply putting food on a stone slab, chopping it randomly, and then throwing it into a pot to cook.

They had never seen something so complete before.

Jiang Lai introduced the functions of these items one by one, finally showing them her seasoning table.

"Green onions, ginger, garlic, Sichuan pepper, star anise, oil, salt."

Aside from salt, everything else was produced by Jiang Lai herself.

Salt was exchanged by Little Buding from the points mall, not in large quantity, but Jiang Lai wasn’t worried since there’s a sea nearby, and with sea comes plenty of salt.

The two grandmas tasted the seasonings separately.

Then Jiang Lai demonstrated two dishes to them, a potato stew with wild chicken and braised fish.

Finally, she made a green vegetable soup.

As she spoke, she explained the functions of these seasonings to them, and under what circumstances they could be used.

"Alright, I’ve explained these in one go, the rest is up to you to figure out, dinner is left to the two of you grandmas."

There is plenty of food, hence no worries of waste, after all, these wolves can eat anything.

The main reason for Jiang Lai to train these two grandmas was simply to serve herself.

The two elderly women eager to try, though wolves, they were gentle, calm, and thorough, cautious with everything in the kitchen, the most satisfying part for Jiang Lai was their cleanliness and tidiness.

The water in the tank was fetched by the chief early in the morning.

Once the pool was filled, Jiang Lai directly cut off the spring water, then installed a faucet at the outlet, opened when needed.

The chief, upon first seeing these, was extremely fascinated, squatting beside the faucet despite her age, watching water emerge, occasionally twisting it, muttering under her breath.

"Great Beast Spirit, thank you for your gift."

The remaining elderly folks weren’t idle, as long as either their legs or hands could move, all were arranged by Jiang Lai for training.

The vegetable garden’s plots needed weeding and pest control, after all, if the vegetables grew vigorously, then surely so would the weeds, likewise the wall Jiang Lai built can keep out Beastmen but not mosquitoes, ants, or mice, although it’s winter but the animals on this continent are particularly hardy.

Previously, Jiang Lai saw a rat in her own vegetable garden, bigger than a cat, stealing her pumpkins, later she discovered a passage beneath the wall.

Blocked it, but not very effectively, they found other ways to get in.

After all, the temptation inside was too great.

Before Jiang Lai found a good solution, the task of guarding the vegetable garden and fields was entrusted to these old wolves.

The elderly men were quite enthusiastic, and as elite backbones of the old hunting group, they excelled in communication and cooperation.

One day, the fruits of their labor were abundant, a hefty seven fat and strong big rats were neatly lined up outside the courtyard by them.

When Jiang Lai came out, she saw the chief eagerly preparing to skin the rat.

"What are you doing?"

"Skin them, after drying, they’re enough for a few meals."

"No need for that, throw them out."

The chief looked incredulous.

"Throw them out? Why discard good food."

"Remember the tribe’s rules?"

The chief naturally remembered, unable to do otherwise, reluctantly yet obediently throwing out the rats.

Dinner was prepared by the two grandmas, an utter mess.

What was laid on the table could hardly be called food, there was a smell present, but there were many other strange odors, Jiang Lai taking a whiff felt like she might get diarrhea.

However, the other wolves didn’t care, they devoured the dishes, even complimenting nonstop afterward, praising to the point the two elderly ladies laughed until they couldn’t close their mouths.

Jiang Lai symbolically took two bites.

"Keep it up, too much ginger, too much oil, too little salt, pay attention next time."

The two were good-natured and patient, earnestly listening to whatever Jiang Lai said, remarkably within two or three days the cooking truly began to show the feel of modern home-cooked dishes.

Looking at the vegetable garden again, mice were rarely troublesome now, the wild weeds were also completely cleared.

At this time, Ayuan, who had been busy at the foot of the mountain during the day, also returned early.

Still dressed very lightly, sweating, he walked to Jiang Lai.

"Chief, it’s done, go check if there’s anything needing adjustment."

Jiang Lai went over for a look, nodding in satisfaction.

As a leader, having these capable subordinates who work silently is truly gratifying.

Six meters wide, ten meters deep, Jiang Lai measured it, not a hair off, so precise it seemed as if it were dug according to a ruler.

Moreover, he cleared all the weeds and dead trees around the hole, and even flattened the path in and out.

Though unsure of Jiang Lai’s purpose for the hole, tidying around a bit is always good.

Jiang Lai went in for a look around, the cave wall was smooth without protrusions, which would save a lot of effort when constructing a cavern.

A hundred bucks of pay, but the result delivered was worth a thousand bucks.
