Favorite of the Beast-world: I Got Rich Through Farming-Chapter 273 - 183: She Brought Them Civilization + Playing in the Snow
Not to mention, An Jin’s cooking was truly excellent, and the two of them quickly devoured it all.
Of course, both of them thought the meat in the other’s hands looked tastier, and each wished he could snatch it all away so he could have her roasted meat all to himself.
...
After weapons like bows, arrows, and blades became available, the tribe’s hunting haul skyrocketed.
Previously, only strong adult Beastmen had the opportunity to join the hunt. But with weapons, even young Beastmen who had transformed less than two years ago, herbivorous Beastmen, and even some fierce and headstrong females sometimes went along.
To celebrate this bonfire feast, they even went to the livestock farm and slaughtered over a dozen sheep.
The food tonight was exceptionally abundant. Everyone gorged themselves and ate to their hearts’ content.
All the Beastmen could remember were countless times they had gone hungry. Never in their lives, from childhood on, had they eaten so much they felt stuffed to the point of wanting to throw up.
The bonfire feast hadn’t ended yet. An Jin was roasting meat when, out of the corner of her eye, she glimpsed a slender figure furtively running outside before being embraced by a tall, strong male Beastman.
"It’s Hua Ye. She’s been like this lately. Sigh, did she think she could hide having someone she likes from me?" Gou Ni, from the next fire, quickly and secretively sidled over, her face wearing the urgent look of someone desperate to share gossip.
"Hua Ye? Who’s that male Beastman next to her?" An Jin decided to play along with Gou Ni, deliberately pretending her eyesight wasn’t very good at night.
"It’s Shalv! That ill-tempered shark! Didn’t expect that, did you? I didn’t either. I remember they just had a fight two days ago! That shark made the little rabbit cry, but who would’ve thought they’d be all lovey-dovey again two days later. It’s really impossible to figure them out..."
Gou Ni adopted the profound, all-knowing air of an expert.
An Jin simply curved her lips into a smile and said no more. Regardless, it was gratifying to see Hua Ye move on from her past, becoming more lively and cheerful, and even finding someone she liked.
’But a shark and a rabbit...’
’Hmm, the sizes don’t quite match, do they?’
「The moon and stars hung high in the night sky.」
「The bonfire feast came to an end.」
The Beastmen cleaned up the extinguished bonfires and leftover food, then returned to their homes. Under the gentle caress of the quiet night breeze, they fell into a sweet sleep.
...
As a sign of the coming Great Cold Season, the temperature dropped to a new low each day, and the number of Beastmen coming to the city to trade dwindled daily.
In a barbecue shop that wafted fragrant scents into the cold air, Beastmen of various clans from different regions sat in twos and threes, eating delicious roasted meat and sweet, fresh fruit tea while laughing and chatting loudly.
A female in a thick, navy-blue fleece cloak stood out among the crowd of powerful, burly Beastmen.
A Snake Beast and a Wolf Beast followed her.
Although the Snake Beast was a Wandering Beast, he was left alone thanks to the city’s City Lord, who had decreed that all races must be treated as equals, without arbitrary discrimination, insults, or expulsion. A Wandering Beast would only be driven away by the other Beastmen for actively disrupting the city’s peace. But such incidents were few and far between, and many Wandering Beasts who had spent half their lives on the move had finally found a place to call home in this city. That was why the Beastmen in the barbecue shop simply went on eating and drinking, paying the Snake Beast no extra mind.
"City—" The moment the Beastman owner serving the meat saw An Jin’s face clearly, he almost cried out in surprise.
"Shh, I’m just here for some roasted meat. You make excellent roasted meat here. I really like it." An Jin gently placed a slender finger to her lips, her eyes curving as she gave a gentle, harmless smile.
The Beastman’s eyes shifted, and he immediately understood the City Lord’s meaning. He quickly put on a smile and spoke with a practiced air, "All this roasted meat is first smoked and then sprinkled with seasoning. The Lord City Lord taught us the entire method. We’re happy as long as you enjoy your meal."
Seeing that the other Beastmen hadn’t noticed anything amiss, the Beastman owner respectfully placed the roasted meat on her table. "Just call me if you need anything else. This roasted meat is 5 Beast Coins in total."
Beast Coins were the currency An Jin had established within her city. A single Beast Crystal was too valuable and hard to make change for, while using prey as currency was difficult to calculate.
So, she had the Beastmen use iron ore to create this currency.
The Beast Coins were round with a metallic luster, just like the small coins that had circulated in her country in her previous life.
One Crystal Core could be exchanged for 100 Beast Coins.
