Chapter 265 Tofu is delicious
“If an entire tribe of Sky Orcs could come and settle here, that would be wonderful,” Zhan said. “Once the Sky Orcs come, they will receive the same treatment as our tribe members. We will build houses for them and provide them with ironware and tools.”
The elder thought for a moment, then said, "I can help you with that, but there are many different forms of Sky Orcs. Do you want a Sky Orc with a larger form?"
Zhan nodded.
An elderly orc said, "It would be perfect if it were as big as the sky orcs of your tribe."
The Third Elder asked from the side, "Clan Chief Zhan, what made you think of inviting the Sky Beastmen to settle here?"
The Gaoshu tribe has existed for a long time, and Zhan has been the chieftain for a long time. He had never thought of this before, so why did he suddenly think of it now?
However, considering that the Gaoshu tribe used to be just an ordinary tribe, but now it has so many good things, it's not surprising that they would have this idea.
Zhan didn't hide anything and told the truth: "It was Ling who brought this up."
"Ling said that with the Sky Beastmen, communication between the surrounding tribes would be more convenient, and things would go much more smoothly when they went out to do business. He also said that if every tribe on the Beastman Continent had Sky Beastmen, the connections between the tribes would be closer, and communication would be smoother."
When Zhan said that it was Bai Ling who brought this up, the First Elder and the Third Elder were not surprised at all. In their minds, although Bai Ling was not old, he was the smartest. It was a very reasonable thing for him to want to find the Sky Beastmen to settle in the tribe.
The elder said, “Chief Zhan, this matter cannot be rushed. We need to discuss it and inquire with the Sky Beastmen who are out and about, to see if there are any suitable small tribes. Moreover, as you all know, moving is not an easy thing for Beastmen. No tribe would be willing to move unless they encounter difficulties.”

By this time, the weather was already very hot. It was a little better in the morning when the sun hadn't come out yet, and Bai Ling and Yue buried their faces in the feathers of the Sky Beastmen and didn't feel the heat.
As the sun rose higher and higher, it became increasingly uncomfortable to be exposed to its heat. Bai Ling, Yue, and Zhong took out a piece of animal hide and covered their mouths and noses, no longer burying their faces in the Sky Beastmen.
Seeing Bai Ling and the other two sit up, the sky beastman flying beside them let out a loud cry and then began to slowly descend.
The sky beastman carrying Bai Ling and the other two slowly descended, and its speed also decreased.
Zhong goes to the tribe to dry salt every year and is very familiar with this road, so he is the one to give directions. When the direction needs to be adjusted, Zhong will point out the correct direction with his finger, and the orc flying next to him will adjust his direction. The orc carrying Bai Ling and the other two will also adjust his direction when he sees this.
The salt lake is located southwest of the High Tree Tribe. Along the way, one must pass through forests, plains, mountains, lakes, and rivers. Because the Sky Orcs fly relatively low, Bai Ling also saw Orcs active below.
The orcs were hunting with weapons in their hands. Before Bai Ling could even see what prey they were hunting, the sky orcs had already carried them away.

At dusk, the Sky Beastman carried Bai Ling and the other two to their destination.
This is a lake that stretches as far as the eye can see. The lake is blue-green, like a gem set in the land. There are very few plants around the salt lake, and the land around the lake gleams with a white light.
The Sky Orcs landed far from the lake, at the foot of a mountain.
He said, "When we're drying salt, we prepare here first. The water on the other side of the salt lake is salty and undrinkable. We need to bring plenty of food and water before we go to the lake to dry salt."
However, he changed the subject and said, "Now that there are Sky Beastmen, we don't need to spend the night there anymore. We can go there every morning and come back in the evening."
He pointed towards the mountainside: "There are caves there. Let's go in and rest for the night, and set off to dry salt tomorrow morning."
The two sky orcs had already transformed into their beast forms, and the five of them began to walk up the mountainside.
The mountain wasn't very high, and there were many rocks and not much vegetation, so the five of them walked on it quite easily.
A Sky Orc walked along and asked, "Ling, what do you need the water from the salt production for? Our tribe also produces salt, but the water from the salt production is completely undrinkable."
As soon as the Sky Beastman asked the question, all eyes turned to Bai Ling. Bai Ling explained, "I'm going to make a dish called tofu."
*
As Bai Ling said this, he looked at Yue. The moment their eyes met, Yue immediately looked away, and her face turned slightly red.
Although Bai Ling was talking about tofu, Yue remembered another meaning of tofu, and also remembered Ling demonstrating to him how to take advantage of someone.
This made Yue's heart race, and her face naturally turned red.
Bai Ling smiled and unconsciously moved closer to Yue as he walked. He continued, "Tofu is a delicious food. It can be fried, stir-fried, or cooked in various ways. Even when it's served cold, it tastes great."
"Tofu can be paired with many dishes, and there are many ways to cook it. Dried tofu, soft tofu, dried bean curd sheets, tofu strips, and tofu pudding are all delicious."
Bai Ling spoke earnestly about the various ways to eat tofu, but his eyes involuntarily fell on Yue beside him. Yue's face was fair and smooth, just like a piece of fine tofu, making Bai Ling's mouth water. He wanted to take a bite right now.
Although Yue didn't look at her lover beside her, she could feel his extremely aggressive gaze. His face turned even redder, like a beautiful jade stained with rouge.
The other orcs walking beside him didn't understand the other meaning behind Bai Ling's words, and assumed that Bai Ling was just talking nonsense.
Zhong asked, "Ling, is tofu really made from soybeans? Last year, my family also grew some soybeans, but they weren't very tasty whether boiled or steamed. They only tasted good when sprouted or ground into soybean flour. You said that if you use the brine left over from salt production to make tofu, you can make delicious tofu. How exactly do you do that?"
Bai Ling briefly explained the tofu-making process to the beastmen, but they still didn't understand. Even Yue couldn't imagine that ground soybean milk could turn into blocks just by adding brine. It was like magic.
Bai Ling laughed and said, "This is magic. I brought my small stone mill from home. Once the brine is ready, I'll make some tofu for you to try. Then you'll know what tofu is like and whether it's delicious."
