Leisurely Farm Life in Beast World

"Is this really something I made?"

Looking at the smelly mess in front of him, Ji Nuan felt his whole beastly nature revolting.

The basket of Shell Beast Meat in front of him had been left to sun-dry directly, but unexpectedly, it had turned out like this. Thankfully, not too much had been placed out.

"Shaman Ji Nuan, look at this." Ya Li’s voice, carrying a hint of surprise, came from another shelf, prompting an uplifted mood in Ji Nuan who hurried over.

"Hahaha, is this one sun-dried properly?"

In Ya Li’s hands was a bamboo mat with what appeared to be shriveled Shell Beast Meat, feeling rock hard when pinched.

"Want to taste and see what it’s like?" Ji Nuan looked at Ya Li with an expectant face.

Ya Li’s expression stiffened: "Why should I be the one to taste such a dangerous thing?"

A deep, magnetic voice rose beside Ji Nuan: "Wasn’t this basket your responsibility? Go ahead and try it."

The majority rules, Ji Nuan’s expectant gaze towards Ya Li couldn’t be more obvious, even Xiu Yan...

Ya Li felt like his eyes were deceiving him; he thought he just saw a glimmer of anticipation too.

Xiu Yan: ...Heh heh, you’re definitely hallucinating, I’m just looking forward to your miserable state later.

Under the "coercion" of the two, Ya Li picked up a slice of Shell Beast Meat with trembling hands and timidly bit into it.

Instantaneously, his fair complexion turned ashen, rivaling a delicate pretty boy.

Ya Li spat out the piece of Shell Beast Meat from his mouth and grabbed a prepared cup of water, gulping down a big mouthful.

Only after finishing a large bowl of water did he feel the saltiness in his mouth fade a bit.

"Is it really that salty?" Ji Nuan was startled by his exaggerated reaction.

With a hehe, Ya Li handed a piece of Shell Beast Meat to Ji Nuan: "How about Shaman you give it a try?"

Ji Nuan’s face stiffened, and after waving his hands, he looked seriously at Ya Li: "No need, I believe you."

Ya Li: Heh~ females!

Seeing Ya Li’s disdainful expression, Ji Nuan awkwardly turned away his gaze: "Brother Xiu Yan, how is the Shell Beast Meat on your side?"

Xiu Yan lifted a piece of Shell Beast Dry that looked a shade darker than the one Ya Li had tried, and popped it into his mouth without issue, chewing contentedly.

After finishing, he nodded in satisfaction and looked at Ji Nuan: "The taste isn’t bad."

Ji Nuan watched him in astonishment: "Really?"

Xiu Yan patted her head: "Of course, why would I lie to you? Want to try?"

As he spoke, he already brought a piece of Shell Beast Dry to Ji Nuan’s lips.

Out of trust for her own partner, Ji Nuan still lightly bit into the Shell Beast Meat offered by the orc.

Because this piece of Shell Beast Meat had been cooked before drying, Ji Nuan felt quite at ease eating it.

Although it wasn’t as delicious as fresh Shell Beast Meat, this dried meat had its own unique flavor.

Moreover... if it’s rehydrated and cooked with some seasoned fruit into a dumpling soup, it would taste even better.

As she thought about it, she unconsciously drooled a little.

"What should we do with this one?" Ya Li, munching on the type of Shell Beast Dry that Xiu Yan just checked, gestured towards the too-salty-for-beasts type of Shell Beast Dry on the shelf behind him.

Ji Nuan wiped away sweat: "Although it’s a bit salty, it hasn’t gone bad, so we can try making it with less salt for preservation."

"But we already have this method of boiling then drying, why bother with salting the Shell Beast Meat?"
