Yan Jiao wolfed down another piece of Ferocious Beast Meat and nodded, saying, “It tastes so good. Much better than the meat before.”

 

Cang Shi nodded without hesitation and agreed, “Yes, chilli sauce is truly a magical item.”

 

“It’s good that you like it. There’s still a lot of meat so you can eat more.” Su Bai looked at the pieces of meat on the ground, on top of large leaves.

 

“Shaman, won’t you eat some more?” Yan Jiao asked.

 

“There’s still a lot of meat, Shaman. Please have some more.” Cang Shi enthusiastically said.

 

Su Bai stood up, clapping his hands, and declared, “I’m done eating. You guys eat. I’m already full.”

 

Su Bai stood up and walked towards the Main Teepee. Eating grilled meat under the night sky truly had a unique flavour to it.

 

Yu Ying was holding a string of dried meat in her hand and said, “Shaman, this chilli sauce is really delicious for grilling meat.”

 

“If you like it, eat more. That jar can last for quite a while.” Su Bai replied.

 

Yu Ying blinked her pink eyes, shaking the chilli sauce in her hand, and curiously asked, “By the way, Shaman, when the chilli peppers we planted grow up, can we make this chilli sauce?”

 

“Yes. Once those chilli peppers mature, we can make chilli sauce,” Su Bai smiled.

 

“That’s great. We’ll have a lot of chilli sauce in the future.” Yu Ying said with a wide smile.

 

Yan Hua blinked her red eyes and asked, “Shaman, but we don’t have this strange looking container, what should we use to hold the chilli peppers?”

 

“Yes, this chilli sauce needs to be covered with a lid each time, so what if there’s no lid? Will it spoil?” Yu Ying asked worriedly.

 

“Hmmm. You’re right. If the chilli sauce isn’t sealed, it can easily spoil. As for containers, we should have them by that time,” Su Bai said.

 

After what the girls with horns said, it was clear that there were still many problems in the primitive Tribe that needed to be solved. The problem now was containers. They could not use stone bowls for every meal, could they?

 

Not only were they heavy, but they were also particularly difficult to make, and there were no plates either. Even tonight, they used large leaves to place the meat on top of.

 

If they made chilli sauce in the future but had no suitable containers, would that not be a waste?

 

“Shaman, the chilli peppers have already sprouted. They’re growing so fast. It’s only your third day back, and those chilli peppers have grown taller,” Yu Ying almost forgot about this.

 

“Oh? They’ve already sprouted? How tall have they grown?” Su Bai asked curiously.

 

Yu Ying thought for a moment, biting the dried meat in her mouth, and gestured with both hands, saying unclearly, “About… about this tall.”

 

Su Bai estimated the length that the fox eared girl showed. [About seven or eight centimetres!?]

 

He was taken aback. He did not expect the growth rate to start accelerating. He said, “They’re growing really fast. Let’s go take a look tomorrow.”

 

“Okay, I’ll continue watering them tomorrow,” Yu Ying nodded heavily.

 

Yan Hua took the string of dried meat from the fox eared girl’s mouth and said, “Don’t talk while you eat. Be careful not to choke.”

 

“Got it, Ah’Hua.” Yu Ying swung her pink fox tail.

 

Somehow, recently, the girl with horns had been sleeping with the fox eared girl in the Main Teepee and no one said anything about it, as if it was the natural thing to do. Yan Hua did not think there was anything wrong with it either.

 

Maybe it was because when they went to the Spotted Deer Market, she stayed with Su Bai every night, so when they returned to the Tribe, she just naturally went to the Main Teepee.

 

Yan Jiao was even more unlikely to say anything. In fact, he was happy that his Daughter was doing this. When she did not return to her own Teepee, he naturally noticed but did not say anything about it.

 

A few minutes later, Su Bai and the others returned to the Main Teepee. As soon as he sat down in his seat, he began to pick up charcoal and Animal Hide.

 

Yu Ying used a Beast Bone Cup to fetch a cup of water and handed it over, saying, “Shaman, have some water. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go sew linen clothes first.”

 

“Alright, there’s nothing else. You can go find Ah’Hua,” Su Bai gently said.

 

“Yes.” Yu Ying nodded and turned to walk to her area.

 

Su Bai looked at the charcoal in his hand and muttered. “Now, we need to solve the problem of pens.”

 

He frowned, pondering how to make pens in this primitive era.

 

[Paper roll pens are not possible right now, we haven’t even made paper yet, let alone graphite…] He tapped his index finger lightly on the table, his mind rapidly turning, trying to find suitable materials for making pens in this primitive Tribe.

 

[Without graphite, we’ll have to consider other options.] Su Bai frowned and continued to ponder, [Well, we have a lot of Six Eyed Red Bird feathers today. Can we try to make quill pens?]

 

Thinking of this, he closed his eyes and began to ponder about the production and materials for quill pens. [The earliest ink on Earth used metals, dyes made from walnut shells or seeds, or ink from marine animals like fish or octopus.]

 

Su Bai frowned, [Catching marine animals is impossible here. But finding some walnut shells and seeds might be possible.]

 

Yan Hua glanced at Su Bai, watching him make different expressions while pondering for a while, and curiously asked, “Shaman, what’s wrong? Is there anything we can help with?”

 

“I just happen to have something to ask you.” Su Bai put down the charcoal.

 

Yan Hua stood up and walked over, asking curiously, “Shaman, what is it?”

 

Yu Ying also put down the linen clothes in her hand, stood up and asked, “Shaman, is it about Tribe matters?”

 

Su Bai took a sip of water and asked, “Do you know where to find some walnuts? They’re the ones with green outer skin, with white speckles. When you open them, there’s a yellow kernel inside.”

 

“Walnuts? Never heard of them,” Yan Hua looked puzzled.

 

“Green outer skin? And white speckles?”  Yu Ying tilted her head, pouting and muttering, “I don’t have any impression of that either. We most likely don’t have those.”

 

“Shaman, do you want to eat this thing called ‘walnuts’?” Yan Hua asked curiously.

 

The girl with horns thought Su Bai suddenly wanted to eat these ‘walnuts’, and since they had never even heard of the name, it must have been from the Large Tribes.
