The four couples who held the ceremony were blessed by the beast god. This incident made everyone very happy and even more eager to celebrate tonight. Everyone ate a simple lunch at noon and prepared to take a nap; they will begin to prepare dinner food after that.
At the moment, Lin Mu held the soup bowl in his hand, but he didnât plan to drink anymore. He felt greasy after eating a piece of barbecue before this. But he couldnât reject Patrikâs request, so he could only drink slowly while holding the bowl. In fact, the taste of the soup was okay. Sometime later, Lin Mu came to Casso and Casso enjoying its after-meal soup with Qiuqiu. The soup bowl is specially made by Damon for Casso. Of course, Qiuqiu also has its own small bowl, which was made by its master, Lin Mu.
Lin Mu rubbed Qiuqiuâs little head, and Qiuqiu rubbed against Lin Muâs palm. Pleasing its own owner is what a pet must always do. After drinking the last bit of soup in the bowl, Qiuqiu burped comfortably, and lay on the floor covered with blankets; sunbathing.
Looking at Qiuqiuâs round belly, Lin Mu felt amused and gently rubbed its belly with his hands; it was fluffy. Seeing that Casso had also finished drinking a large bowl of soup, Lin Mu turned to Casso and said, âCasso, after your rest, go and help me catch some chickens back. The more, the better.â Their dinner banquet will need a lot of chickens. Talking about the big chickens, Lin Mu wondered if they could catch some to raise, but thinking about how the food for the chickens is not easy to get, it is more convenient to raise rabbits. Rabbits only need grass.
âOf course, please catch some long-eared beasts back.â
Seriously, the long-eared beast is just an enlarged rabbit, but it was labelled as beast instead. Lin Mu tried to call it as rabbit many times, but everyone doesnât agree with his suggestion. According to them, the beastâs ears are so long, of course, it should be called long-eared beasts. That way, people would know that long-eared beasts have very long ears. Why call them rabbits? Rabbits, rabbits, what kind of name is this? Finally, Lin Mu compromised and agreed with the name long-eared beast.
âCasso, catch as many as you can. Of course, it would be better if you can keep it alive.â
They can try to raise it. After all, there are more than two months in autumn, so if they can raise it properly, the meat would be able to sustain them in winter, and they can eat fresh meat as well. Even if the long-eared beast cannot be raised during winter, it is still a kind of food reserve, right? After all, the current weather is not suitable for storing meat. Ai, if only there was a freezer around. Lin Mu heard that there is something called ice house in ancient Chinese time, but he didnât know how to make one, and he hadnât read related information before. In the age of refrigerators, no one would think to learn how to build an ice house. It would be nice if they could build one though, then he can eat ice in summer. There are so many fruits here so shaved ice would taste pretty good in summer.
With a grunt, Casso nodded in agreement and then lay down next to Qiuqiu to rest.
Lin Mu smiled and watched them resting next to each other. He didnât expect at first that Qiuqiu and Casso would get along so well as a beast and beastman. After all, beastman who could think would look down on beasts that couldnât. This is the difference between man and beast. But thinking that Qiuqiu is smart, he can understand why the two has a close friendship. Sometimes the intimacy between them really makes Lin Mu feel thoughtful. Because he is Qiuqiuâs real owner, but his pet is now living in someone elseâs house and refuses to come back. Sometimes this makes Lin Mu think if he failed as an owner.\nFinishing his last sip of soup, Lin Mu stood up and reminded, âDonât forget.â
What he received as an answer was still a hum from Casso, but he could somehow sense a little impatience in it.
âThis kid.â
The reason why Lin Mu asked Casso to catch the chickens and rabbits instead of other beastmen was because the size of preys was too small compared to the beastmenâs huge figure. Although they can catch it, itâs not as easy as the relatively small Casso.
Lin Mu put the bowl away, he doesnât have to wash it since there is a beastman who is responsible for cleaning. His task now is to take a good rest and then get up to make a big meal. However, Patrik didnât let anyone do it and started cleaning Lin Muâs bowl himself. After all, it is Lin Muâs thing, and Patrik thought it is better to clean it himself. All the cleaned bowls were placed together, but they donât have to worry about getting mixed up, all the tableware has its own mark.
Patrik came in when Lin Mu just lay down.
âCome here quickly.â Lin Mu called out. He felt like he could sleep better in Patrikâs arms.
Patrik naturally obeyed his partnerâs request and quickly took off his shoes. Then he laid on the bed, watching as Lin Mu approached him and nestled into a comfortable position in his arms before closing his eyes.
âAre you going out to hunt with them this afternoon?â
âEn, need to hunt some prey for tonightâs barbecue.â\nâEn, catch a few pigs. Iâll make Red braised pork belly (红ç§č) for you.â
âEn.â
By now, Patrik knows that the pigs that Lin Mu mentioned are actually Hengheng beasts1. He doesnât think Hengheng beastâs meat is delicious, but he will catch it since Lin Mu asked and it didnât take much effort. Moreover, Patrik heard of braised pork from Lin Mu before. It is said to be delicious, but one canât eat too much (for Lin Mu). Seeing that Lin Mu didnât plan to say anything else, Patrik closed his eyes too. Having a nap after lunch is a habit he gotten from Lin Mu.
When Lin Mu woke up, the person beside him had already left. Judging from the brightness of the light outside the window, Lin Mu estimated that it is about 3.00 â 4.00 pm in Earthâs time. Lin Mu walked out of the room and saw the females are already waiting in the living room.
âWhen did you come?â
Lais smiled and said, âNot long, we arrived when the tribe leader is about to go out.â
Lin Mu stretched before saying, âEn, we are going to be busy. Letâs go.â
Phil: âLin Mu, what are we making today? We will follow your decision.â
âEn Enâ Sasha nodded, âYou made the best food, I want to eat sweet and sour fish. I have been thinking about it for many days!â
âYou are just a foodie!â Lin Mu said with a smile. His cooking skills are only a little bit better than ordinary people, but thinking about their level of cooking before this, Lin Mu could be considered a master here; felt a little bit proud.
Arriving at the square, they can see that the stove has been set up, and the vegetables needed were already washed. These beastmen who helped with cooking has improved, so good. In the past, washing vegetables means washing away all the leaves, but now their progress is visible, at least the whole leaf survived.

Spicy poached fish
The chicken wings are very big, so he made crispy chicken wings and spicy chicken chops. He didnât cook a lot of the snacks, it is just to satisfy their craving first.
When Patrik and the others came back with the cleaned meat, they asked them to marinate the meat first, while Lin Mu and the others began to prepare stir-fry.
Stir-fried sliced pork with pepper, Yuxiang shredded pork, braised chicken with potatoes, steamed chicken. As for the rabbit meat, some were made soup, but the main thing is to make braised rabbit meat, mala rabbit meat, and dry stir-fried rabbit meat. Those meats can be cooked in a variety of ways. Lin Mu mainly processed the pork belly, and then told the beastman how big each piece should be. He believed that for red braised pork belly, even if the ingredients were incomplete, the beastmen would still like them. The reason why he didnât cook it before was because he lacked soy sauce. Without soy sauce, the colour is not beautiful, so Lin Mu didnât want to eat it.
When the banquet began, everyone was sitting in the square. There was a big fire in the middle of the square. Everyone happily ate the grilled meat and vegetables, and of course, Lin Muâs steamed buns are indispensable. The food at the dinner was delicious, and everyone started dancing around the fire after they were full. Lin Mu pulled Patrik and joined the dancing team, but soon found that only a few people, including him, are still dancing, while the rest watched and cheered at them. Other than that, Lin Mu wondered what kind of dance Patrik is dancing around him. Although it looks messy, it is powerful. The other beastmen cheered and laughed at them because of Patrikâs dance.
Lin Mu was a little confused, but when he saw other females being in the same situation, Lin Muâs somewhat awkward mood calmed down. Then he smiled while watching Patrik dance around him. It wasnât until a long time later that Lin Mu knew that Patrikâs disorderly dance was actually a courtship dance. At that time, Patrik felt that Lin Muâs gaze was strange as he(LM) looked at him. At that moment, Lin Mu thought why other beastmen did the courtship dance so well while Patrikâs dance was out of rhythm.
It wasnât until late at night that everyoneâs excitement calmed down and they went back to their house to sleep.
After returning home, Patrik took out the glowing stones to put in the holder. Lin Mu threw himself on the bed and complained, âI am exhausted today! Patrik, I want to take a bath, help me boil some water.â
Since having a wooden barrel, Lin Mu likes taking a bath. The barrel made by Matt is excellent, but itâs too big and ended up being advantageous for Patrik. âMandarin ducks are playing in the waterâ and whatnots, Lin Mu really thinks Matt could have made the tub smaller.
