CHAPTER 782: 【754】BEAST WORLD FARMING 64 (2 MORE UPDATES)

Jin Han would start working before dawn, and when Tiantian woke up, he was nowhere to be found. After washing up, she began preparing breakfast.

She picked a few relatively dry corn kernels, ground them into coarse grits removing the rough husks, and kept the fine ones.

She started boiling water in a pot—once the water boiled, she added two peeled and chunked sweet potatoes. When the sweet potatoes were half-cooked, she stirred in the corn paste mixed with water and continued boiling. As the sweet aroma of corn spread, the Henan specialty—corn and sweet potato soup was ready.

Meanwhile, she steamed a few potatoes. When the potatoes were nearly done, she added four clean eggs and continued steaming—since the fire was about to go out, there was no need for further attention.

She took out the pickled vegetables, rinsed them under water, chopped them to bite-size, and seasoned them with vinegar, chili, and a bit of vegetable oil as sesame oil wasn’t available yet this year.

Having prepared breakfast, she stood at the edge of the cliff and shouted down, "Ah Han, come home for breakfast!"

After a while, the Golden Eagle landed steadily on the cliff edge, transformed into a human, and approached the lavish breakfast Tiantian had made, washing himself while expressing a flood of emotions.

"How do you have so many recipes and ways to eat food in your head? This meal is different from yesterday’s again—don’t you find it troublesome?"

"How can food be troublesome? Apart from savoring its taste, I enjoy the process of cooking. The more challenging the dish, the more delicious it is. Actually, these aren’t advanced dishes, they’re just daily meals for ordinary people, quite down-to-earth. If you’re talking about those high-end, upscale dishes, I can’t make those yet!"

Liang Tian muttered to himself, "It’s not that you can’t make them, given enough ingredients you could, but your memory isn’t there, just your instincts."

Throughout Tangyuan’s many lives, she had enjoyed and prepared countless delicacies, yet there were still foods she hadn’t made, like caviar and truffle; she had prepared foie gras, but in comparison to truly advanced cuisine, there was still some difference.

The humans here aren’t truly humans in a modern sense, but rather can be seen as ancient humans.

From eating raw food to cooked food, they were in an evolving stage, and other aspects required acceptance, understanding, and continuous improvement.

After eating, they poured a bucket of water into a large pot and placed a few thick logs beneath it to burn slowly, saving the trouble of constantly making a fire.

Having a hearty breakfast, the two worked until they started feeling hungry again. Jin Han dove into the sea and caught two large lobsters and a big octopus. For lunch, they prepared an octopus hot pot with Cold Season sauce, adding cabbage, scallions, green vegetables, mushrooms, and other ingredients. Since the octopus was large, they didn’t add any other meat and didn’t cook rice, just ate it directly. After finishing, they steamed the two large lobsters, which were so big they had to be steamed in two batches.

This lunch was exhilarating and seemed extravagant, as the lobsters were large and their meat succulent, giving someone who had never eaten large lobsters in her past life a real treat.

"There are big lobsters in this sea area, but not where we picked the grain fruits before. If you like, we can catch more when we leave."

For a Five-Patterned Beast, going up to the sky or deep into the earth seemed like nothing was impossible, but still could not rival the sea creatures. They could only stay underwater for a limited time before having to surface to decompress and breathe.

To Tiantian, being able to dive 300 meters without any diving equipment was already beyond the depth that humans could reach with equipment.

Although they ate a lot, they also expended a lot of energy working, so by evening, they collected some oysters on the seaside rocks. That night, they grilled oysters, sweet potatoes, beef, and lamb at home. After dinner, they went to the beach to catch some sand crabs, cleaned them in a jar with water, and let them half-die. After leaving them overnight to expel the sand, they crushed them the next day to prepare crab sauce.

As days passed, Tiantian and Jin Han worked whenever they had the energy. Sometimes, they even spent an hour by the seaside after dinner.

They aimed to finish before the arrival of the Cold Season. With a month and a half left, they managed to store most of the corn on the island into the space and caves, leaving only seeds behind.
