Butz and Burton are young cubs who just managed to transform into their human form. Although they are only 6 or 7 years old, their appearance is already like a teenagerâs. This time they came out with their father to learn how to fish under the sea. They had a great time in the morning and learned a lot of fishing skills. Although their beast form is not big enough and they couldnât catch big fish, they had some small achievements, which makes them very happy.
After learning for a whole morning, the children became hungry. Seeing the adults starting to clean the fish, they obediently went to collect firewood to grill the fish later. As a seaside tribe, their people like to eat fish. They also eat other animals in the sea, but their main dish is still fish. However, the 2 young ones are starting to get a little tired of eating just fish. On the other hand, Uncle York is hunting today with them. Uncle York is recognized by the tribe as the person who makes the most delicious grilled fish, so the 2 children still felt joyful for having the luck to taste it.
While the children are gathering firewood, they felt thirsty so they went to pick a coconut to quench their thirst. When they are drinking the coconut water, they suddenly smelled a tempting fragrance. Itâs the fragrance of fish, but this smell is especially tempting. This special unknown fragrance attracted them deeply.
Butz took a deep breath and asked, âBurton, do you smell it? It smells so good!â
Burton was equally fascinated by the scent, âI have a nose, of course I smell it!â
âBurton, shall we go and have a look?â Butz wanted to see why it smelled so fragrant. He canât help salivating and, and his stomach felt extremely empty.
Burton hesitated. He wanted to go too, but is it alright to go check it out like this? What if there is danger?
Butz is a glutton. He doesnât have the mind to think about what is dangerous or not, âAiya, letâs go and see. It seems not far from us, and this is an area within our tribe. There are no wild beasts so whatâs there to be scared of?â
Hearing what Butz said, Burton thought and agreed with him. After all, they are within the scope of their tribe, and there was nothing to worry about with their father here not far away. Hence, putting down the firewood they picked, he said, âLetâs go.â
âGreat!â Butz followed happily, and the children left quickly.
York and the other adults noticed the tempting smell of fish too, but they are adults after all, so they wonât go to see just because other peopleâs food smells delicious. However, after waiting for a while and not seeing the little rascals, they have to start looking for them.\n
Yitz is Butzâs father. When he saw that his son hadnât come back, he scolded, âWhy the little guy Butz hasnât come back yet? Iâll look for him. You guys should grill the fish first. Sigh, itâs a mistake to expect those 2 little guys to do something useful.â Though Yitz is muttering his dissatisfaction, the smile on his face didnât mean that at all. It is obvious that he liked his child very much.
Fony is Burtonâs father. After hearing that Yitz is going to look for his son, he didnât follow and stayed back to make their lunch together with York. Yitz couldnât find the children in the woods, because they are standing not far from Lin Mu right now.
The children stared as they swallowed their saliva more than 10 meters away from Lin Mu and Patrik. Patrik naturally ignored the children. He is now taking over Lin Muâs job to care for little Wu Fan and is feeding him steamed egg custard. As for Lin Mu, he cannot make himself act as if he didnât notice the two teenagers not far from him. Based on what he saw after Casso transformed to his human form, Lin Mu understood that these 2 children are definitely not too old. He couldnât act indifferent by letting the children stood there drooling so he tried to make the kindest smile and. beckoned, âCome here.â
Burton hesitated, but Butz couldnât stop the temptation. He ran over immediately when he saw Lin Mu beckoning. Burton couldnât help gritting his teeth, âThat idiot, just go over without knowing who the strangers are!â He had no choice but to follow along. No matter what, he is just a 7 years old child.
Actually, Butz is not a person who doesnât use his brain. He just doesnât think it is dangerous when he sees that the other party is a female. In his heart, females have a bad temper, but they are all harmless. Thatâs why he went over without worry.
Lin Mu is frying fish fillets, and there are a bunch of cooked ones in the wooden bucket next to him. He first took out 2 pieces and handed them to the children, âWould you like to eat?â
Butz took it right away, and Burton said embarrassedly, âWe just wanted to come to check out the smell.â The implication is that they didnât run over here for free food.
Lin Mu smiled at Burton, and the child blushed immediately. This female smiled so beautifully! Burton finally took the fried fish fillet, and Butz has already started eating. The scent is already so fragrant, but when they took a careful bite, their eyes brightened, âItâs so delicious!â\nFried fish fillets
âItâs good that you like it.â Seeing the two kids having a good time, Lin Mu also liked it. In his opinion, itâs nicer to eat with everyone where people fight1Â for the food. The scene makes one feel more appetite to eat.
Lin Mu gave a piece of the fried fish to Patrik who is feeding the baby and smiled at him. Then he continued to fry the fish fillets. There arenât too many pieces of fish, so Lin Mu finished frying them in a short time. He gave a few more pieces to the 2 children. After that, Lin Mu went to take a look at his braised fish and steamed fish and saw that they are almost cooked.\nButz took a bite of the fried fish and felt so happy, âYou made it so delicious, it tastes very special.â
The taste is special because Lin Mu added cumin, he knew they would like it.
Lin Mu put the braised and steamed fish in 2 small wooden buckets to serve as plates. Then he naturally took out 2 small bowls for the children, then put a bit of the fish meat in it. Knowing that they donât know how to use chopsticks, Lin Mu asked them to wash their hands so they can eat the fish with their hands.
When the adults who couldnât find the children came to the other side, they saw the children happily holding a bowl and eating with their hands. Beastman has a keen sense of smell, so they managed to find the children from their scent. When they realized itâs in the same direction as the nice fish smell, the adults knew what is going on.
Burton stopped immediately when he saw the adults. He stood up with his head lowered and greeted his father. He knew that he is wrong for running to other places without saying a word. As for Yitz, he saw his son still sitting on the ground. When Butz saw him, he happily said, âFather, Lin Muâs cooking is so delicious. I have never eaten such delicious fish before. Here, try some.â He reached out to feed a piece of fish to his father.
Yitz looked at the fish pieces in the special container that his son is holding, and patted him helplessly on the head. He knew his son is a glutton.
Lin Mu didnât mind it when he saw the 3 beastmen coming over. He and Patrik continue with their lunch, occasionally feeding the baby some fish.
When your children ate other peopleâs food, you have to thank them for the food. Hence, Fony stepped forward and said, âThank you for feeding our little cubs, I hope they didnât cause you any trouble.â
âItâs nothing.â Lin Mu smiled and shook his head. He hesitated before offering, âWe didnât make much food, but you can taste some if you want.â
Before the beastmen can refuse, Lin Mu had already given them a bowl. When he said âtaste someâ, itâs really just âsomeâ as each bowl contained 2 pieces of fish meat. Though more people came over2, the fish is big enough to give everyone a taste. Of course, Lin Mu considered his familyâs welfare first. He can be hospitable, but the delicious parts are given to his family members to eat.
The adults ate the fish Lin Mu offered and it was amazing. They never thought that the fish could be so delicious. However, itâs a pity that itâs just a little bit. Itâs gone before they can savor it. Since they are not full yet, the adults took out the fish they hunted and started grilling them.
As for Lin Muâs side, they have some leftovers and Lin Mu noticed the 2 children would glance over whether intentionally or unintentionally. Amused, Lin Mu served the remaining fish meat and the meat in the soup to the 2 little guys while they started to drink fish soup. Since Lin Mu made a lot of fish soup and they couldnât finish it, Lin Mu served a bowl to the children as well.\n\nHearing that Lin Mu needs fresh water, the 2 little guys took the initiative to fetch water. Lin Mu happily gave them a bowl of fried fish bones, which made them very happy. They gave some to their father and uncle to taste before biting one and zoomed away to fetch water. Soon, they came back with the water and brought some bananas too.
Patrik made a few more wooden buckets on the spot because they donât have enough. After itâs done, Lin Mu spread the shrimps evenly on the bucket and filled the pot with a bit of salt water. After the fish bones are all fried, they started chatting and eating the snack. Everyone didnât expect that even the fish bones would be so delicious. Butz expressed that this day is definitely the happiest day in his life.
Later in the afternoon, Butz and Burton caught some crabs and picked up some shellfish as per Lin Muâs request. They caught a few big fish too. Looking at the big fish, Lin Mu thought of fish balls and made some right away. Hence, the other people managed to eat fish balls, a type of food from different times and space.\nSteamed brine prawn
Dinner is quite abundant. They have fish balls, crabs, stir-fried shrimps, and steamed brine prawns. Lin Mu made garlic sauce for the dipping sauce and it tasted very good. Even though the children caught a lot of crustaceans, they were all eaten up.
Butz laid on the beach while waiting for his food to digest, said with a cheerful voice, âI didnât know that crabs and lobsters can be eaten. Itâs so delicious, especially the spicy ones. Say, how can Lin Mu know to make such delicious food? It would be nice if I can find a female who can cook like this for me in the future.â
Burton fell under the charm of Lin Muâs food too, but when he heard Butzâs words, he retorted, âHow can you have the luck? Wanting to find a female to cook for you? When have you ever seen the female of our tribe cook?â
âYeah, I really envy Uncle Patrik. Of course, I also envy little Wu Fan. Must be nice to be Lin Muâs child.â
âBe careful that Uncle Yitz will hit you if he hears that.â
Butz stopped talking and turned to look at the sea dyed red by the setting sun while rubbing his bloated belly happily.
At Lin Muâs side, they are thinking about whether to accept Yorkâs invitation to visit their tribe.
