I've been transported to the orc continent.

Chapter 230 Delicious

Bai Ling felt like he had forgotten something, and it wasn't until he ate the bread that he realized what he had forgotten: he had forgotten to make the jam.

If you have jam, bread dipped in jam is incredibly delicious, or he could make some jam bread, which would taste even better.

Bai Ling cursed herself for being careless, but next time she made bread, she could try making jam bread, red bean paste bread, and goat milk bread.

Bread baked in an oven tends to be drier. Bai Ling tore off a piece of bread, dipped it in warm goat milk, and the bread absorbed the goat milk, becoming quite moist and soft. At this point, she could put the bread in her mouth without even chewing and just swallow it.

No one in the family spoke; they were all eating bread. Even the usually boisterous youngest child sat quietly, taking small bites of bread as his father fed him.

Lin would feed the cub a few bites of bread and then a couple of sips of goat milk. The previous two times, Bai Ling had also cooked goat milk, but the cub didn't really like it. It would lick a couple of times and then close its mouth, refusing to drink goat milk no matter how the adults tried to feed it. Today was different. Lin placed the ceramic bowl in front of the cub, and after swallowing the bread in its mouth, the cub immediately stuck out its tongue and began licking the goat milk in large gulps.

After licking a few mouthfuls of goat milk, the cub goes to eat bread, and he finishes the bread in no time.

The oven at home wasn't very big; one batch of bread wasn't enough for one orc. Each family member could only have two loaves of bread, and once they were gone, there wasn't any left.

The cub did get three pieces of bread. After it finished eating, the cub didn't look at its father or father, but instead barked at Bai Ling a few times.

The leopard cat's call is similar to that of a cat, but it often uses purring sounds in its throat to express affection and fondness.

The cub looked at Bai Ling with its brownish-yellow eyes, its furry face full of flattery, and it kept making gurgling noises in its throat. After a few cries, the cub jumped from its father to Feng, and finally to Bai Ling's knees.

It stood on Bai Ling's lap, its two front paws gripping Bai Ling's clothes, its head tilted high, its round eyes looking at Bai Ling with eyes full of affection and trust.

Bai Ling laughed at its gaze, then reached out and patted the cub's head. As if encouraged, the cub grabbed Bai Ling's clothes with its two front paws and quickly climbed up to Bai Ling's chest.

Then it raised its head and rubbed its head against Bai Ling's neck.

This is how the cub expresses affection. After rubbing against Bai Ling, it continued to look at Bai Ling with its round eyes, and its purring became even louder.

Bai Ling reached out and hugged the cub, laughing, "The bread will be ready in a bit, but you've already eaten three loaves, so we'll have to ask your father if he can eat any more."

After Bai Ling finished speaking, she lowered her head, burying most of her face in the cub's head and gently nuzzling it.

The cub couldn't understand what Bai Ling was saying. It only knew that this adult could conjure up delicious food, and that as long as it fussed and acted cute in its arms, it could usually get something delicious to eat.

This time was no exception. Bai Ling rubbed against the cub's head, and the cub became even more excited. It pressed its whole body firmly against Bai Ling's face and gently rubbed its soft belly against Bai Ling's face.

The second batch of bread was even better than the first. Bai Ling used chopsticks to pick up the bread, spread a thin layer of animal fat on the earthenware plate, and placed the last of the bread dough on the plate.

Bai Ling wrapped several loaves of bread in clean animal hides, then put the hides into a basket on her back. These were to be given to Yue's grandfather and great-uncle.

As the two were about to leave, Yue turned back to Feng and said, "Uncle Feng, Ling won't be home for dinner tonight; he'll be eating at our house."

Feng nodded: "Okay, I understand."

Whenever Bai Ling cooks something delicious and takes some to Yue's grandfather and great-uncle, the two old men always invite Bai Ling to stay for a meal, and sometimes they even ask Bai Ling to bring back some dried meat.

Compared to adult beastmen, cubs and the elderly have a greater fondness for sweets. Yue's grandfather and great-grandfather are no exception. Last time, when Bai Ling brought over some candy, Yue's grandfather and great-grandfather were so happy that they didn't know where to begin.

Bai Ling brought bread again this time. The two elderly people looked at the bread from left to right for a while before asking what it was.

Yue broke a loaf of bread in half and handed it to her grandfather and great-uncle: "This is called bread. It's a food made from flour and it's very delicious."

Grandpa Yue said, "This looks delicious. Just smelling it makes my mouth water."

Grandpa Yue also said, "You all eat too. Ling brought this to us while it's still warm, so you must not have eaten it yet."

Bai Ling didn't say anything, but instead broke open a piece of bread and gave one piece to Yue.

Yue took the bread from Bai Ling with a smile in her eyes. She first pinched a little bit of dried fruit and put it in her mouth, then her smile widened: "Ling, I like to eat this. Let's go and exchange some more of this kind of dried fruit next year."

Bai Ling laughed and said, "Yes, not only should we replace it, we should also plant this kind of fruit. Plant more of it in your backyard."

Surprisingly, the fastest orc to finish knitting a sweater was Bai Ling's uncle, Qu.

He knitted a sweater for his cub, but the sweater was a bit too big. Even though the cub was wearing animal skin and the sweater, it was still a bit too big.

Qu was not discouraged at all. So what if it's a little bigger? She could wear it next autumn. Anyway, the cubs would grow up.

Lin said from the side, "By the time the cubs wear it next year, the arms will be too short."

Qu: "It's fine if it's a little shorter. Anyway, Brown is still a cub, so it's okay even if the clothes don't have sleeves."

Bai Ling also knitted a scarf, which Chen took away. He wore it to show off to his friends. Two of his friends also had scarves and would wear them to show off whenever they went out. Now that he had one too, he could show it off to them as well.

After knitting a scarf, Bai Ling went to work in the carpentry group. Since she had decided to raise silkworms next year, she had to make all the tools needed to turn silkworm cocoons into silk.

The first thing to do is to make a spinning machine. Bai Ling had already made a spinning wheel before, so making this one would be relatively simple. To be on the safe side, Bai Ling didn't make anything too complicated and just made the simplest foot-operated spinning machine.

Besides the spinning machine, there are also spinning wheels, which are also needed, and a lot of them are needed. Bai Ling made more than necessary. The spinning wheel is already in place, and several more spindles need to be made as well.

Next up is the loom, which is the most complex thing Bai Ling has made so far. He knows the principle and structure of the loom, but he is still a little scared when faced with this incredibly complex machine.
