Chapter 615: Chapter 7: Cannon Fodder Bootlicker in the Beast World Farming Novel (Part 7)

The only thing Jiang Lai could guarantee was eating cooked meat.

At first, she could rely on the original body’s taste, stuffing anything into her stomach, as long as she was full.

But later, as the habits left by the original body slowly faded away, looking at the heap of pork, Jiang Lai’s stomach churned with acid reflux.

Wild boar meat really wasn’t tasty.

It was both fishy and stinky.

These piglets would grow into wild boars too, but Jiang Lai’s main purpose in raising them wasn’t for the current meat.

She wanted to help accelerate the evolution process of wild boars, trying to make them lazy and less muscular, so they would gain more fat and be less gamey.

When the cold wave hit at night, Jiang Lai felt a bit cold standing outside for a while.

Returning inside, she closed the door, and the sound of the wind was instantly blocked out.

The converter was connected to a mobile power source, and at the other end was an electric kettle, with the water inside already boiling. Jiang Lai poured herself a cup of hot water and leaned back on the sofa.

“Ah…”

Although it was freezing outside, with cold winds howling, her wooden house was enveloped in warm, dim light. Her bare feet were on a pure wool rug, and in front of her was the self-made fireplace she had recently constructed.

Inside the stove, flames danced, providing warmth.

“What about the stuff you planted outside?”

“Leave it to fate.”

“You’re too irresponsible. Those seeds cost me a lot of points, and you’re wasting them for nothing.”

Now Little Buding was quite stingy and demanded a lot from Jiang Lai. Previously, he might have been a lazy lurker, but now he was online every day, ensuring every penny was spent wisely by Jiang Lai.

Jiang Lai squinted her eyes to comfort it.

“Don’t worry, you have to believe in the power of the female protagonist’s golden finger.”

The Spiritual Spring she discovered was definitely mighty. No matter how harsh the winter, even if the seeds were thrown on rocks, they might sprout.

As Jiang Lai expected, plants irrigated by the spring water were not only cold-resistant, but their roots were also robust, standing strong despite the wind and rain, and could grow sturdily.

This is why the protagonist Mu Mianmian could produce enough food for the entire Wolf Clan to survive the winter, with plenty left over for herself.

Moreover, the seeds Jiang Lai sowed were of good quality, making their growth even more impressive.

The shortened growing cycle allowed Jiang Lai to experience the joy of harvest soon after planting the vegetable seeds.

Large, plump tomatoes were very vibrant in color. Jiang Lai picked one, wiped it casually, and took a bite. Her stomach, overwhelmed by wild boar meat, felt instantly refreshed, and her eyes brightened.

It was so sweet, with abundant juice and a thin, soft skin, bite after bite, she couldn’t stop.

Jiang Lai squatted there, eating three in one go.

Apart from tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers in another plot grew very well, especially the peppers. Jiang Lai didn’t know what they would be like when she planted them, but now she found out there were many colorful varieties.

There were sweet, crisp bell peppers, spicy string peppers, and small millet peppers in red and green.

At this time, the entire land, except for the largest planting area of rice that just started to head, and the fruit trees that just bloomed, other vegetables had all matured due to the spring water.

Essential seasonings like green onions, ginger, and garlic were indispensable, and there was also a plot of sunflowers and peanuts.

The seeds that Jiang Lai didn’t recognize sprouted into broad beans and soybeans, and surprisingly, watermelon vines also appeared.

To allow so many plants with different growing seasons and environments to thrive wildly in the cold winter, once again confirmed the female protagonist’s golden finger for Jiang Lai.

It was truly incredible.

In her spare time, Jiang Lai weaved many bamboo baskets with bamboo strips, now these baskets were piled high with grain.

Finally, she checked the pond next to her, which was teeming with fish in the clear spring water.

Jiang Lai didn’t know the species, but she fished one out, weighing over ten kilograms. Its tail slapped the ground forcefully, and its shiny scales emitted an exceptionally bright light, with the sharp spines on its dorsal fin looking quite menacing. It seemed a bit like a mandarin fish from the future, but much larger and more dangerous.

Jiang Lai cautiously carried the fish by the mouth back home, during which it thrashed wildly, and she got poked by the dorsal fin, which hurt a bit, but Jiang Lai didn’t mind, being part of the Wolf Clan, she was used to pain.

Then, three seconds later, Jiang Lai’s legs went soft, and she fell to the ground without warning.

Little Buding: “…”

When she woke up again, it was completely dark outside.

Jiang Lai was almost frozen stiff, she shivered as she got up, and didn’t forget to bring back the fish that flopped into the grass.

The fish’s vitality was noticeably weaker, but its spines were still erect.

“How long was I out?”

“About four hours.”

“This thing is quite poisonous.”

It must be noted that she was a strong giant wolf, yet it knocked her out in three seconds, leaving her unconscious for four hours, making this thing’s venom even more potent than future cobra venom.

Even so, Jiang Lai still brought it back.

She deftly handled the fish with a knife.

Fish head soup, pan-fried fish body.

“You’re still going to eat it! Are you crazy?”

“It’s fine, I probably know where the venom glands are.”

“You’re digging your own grave. If you die, I’m not helping you.”

Jiang Lai didn’t lift her head, all she could think about was the aromatic pan-fried fish.

“Don’t worry, I’ve got this.”

She grabbed a handful of string peppers, then picked some green onions, ginger, and garlic. With these, Jiang Lai’s dinner gained a lot of flavors.

The grilled fish on the slate had a rather good flavor.

It turned out that poisonous fish tasted surprisingly good. Taking the risk of being poisoned gave Jiang Lai immense satisfaction in her stomach.

After dinner, she shelled the sunflower seeds she collected during the day, then pulled out some peanuts, wrapped them in charcoal ash, and roasted them for a while. The house was filled with a rich aroma when they were done.

Now Jiang Lai had added another seasoning to her otherwise dull life.

After dinner, early the next morning, Jiang Lai started logging again, beginning to build a granary.

This time, she used the hardest wood from the forest to lay the foundation of the granary, which elevated it 1.5 meters above the ground, and continued building with wooden stakes above it.

Little Buding bought a lot of tin, and Jiang Lai nailed it layer by layer inside the granary, using pine wood to structure the roof, finally covering it with a layer of tin.

The simple granary was built, and finally Jiang Lai surrounded it with a layer of wire mesh, and electrified it.

——

Winters in the Beast World were especially long.

Jiang Lai counted the sunrises and sunsets for a full three months, but the weather showed no sign of warming, getting even colder instead.

It was at this time that the rice matured.

The temperature didn’t affect its heading and growth process at all, and when it came time for harvest, looking at the golden patch in front of her, Jiang Lai took a deep breath.

Let’s get to work.
