I Transmigrated Into A Fantasy World To Farm And Build Houses!-Chapter 328: Minced Beef Chili Sauce

With delicious food ahead, this planting session wasn’t as tiring as the land reclamation.

Less than ten thousand acres of fields, with so many beastmen, meant each beastman only had to plant less than twenty acres when divided up.

For them, it was truly as easy as turning over a hand.

Sunflower and the Tiger tribe warriors were in a state of excitement every day. Those who didn’t know would think they had encountered something good; who would have thought someone would feel happy because of work?

In just a few days, the potato pieces were planted one after another. besides changing the way he made delicious food, Eric also had to make time to go to the fields to cast nature magic, trying to spread the rain and dew evenly so that every potato could absorb it.

If it were before, casting over such a large area, even with continuous rest, Eric wouldn’t have been able to withstand this intensity. But during this time, under Evan’s guidance, his magic power and spiritual power had increased several times. He could even use high-level magic, so using this kind of low-level magic over a wide area a dozen times a day didn’t feel tiring.

Naturally, he chose times when the Tiger tribe wasn’t nearby to go to the fields and cast magic. A Snow Wolf cub being able to proficiently use nature magic - Sunflower and the others would be astonished even if they held no hostility toward the Hadu tribe.

With so many Tiger tribe people, if one of them went back and told others and it spread, it wouldn’t be a good thing.

Previously when Tan and the others arrived, Eric could hide Leo at Luci’s place. Now that Sunflower and the others were staying directly in the tribe, Leo couldn’t stay indoors forever.

The first time Sunflower met Leo, he was a bit puzzled and secretly asked Eric: "It’s one thing for your tribe to have Horned Goat people and Dwarves, but why is there a Golden Lion cub? Where are his parents?"

"Actually, my mother picked him up during that battle. At that time, the Golden Lion, Leopard, and Tiger tribes had all left, and we had no way to go to the Golden Kingdom, so we adopted him." Eric hesitated a bit but decided to tell the truth.

He added: "Leo’s parents probably also... because my mother discovered him accidentally while looking for my father’s body after the great battle ended. I was also worried about causing trouble, so I didn’t let him go out last time."

Mentioning that battle, Sunflower’s expression changed continuously, finally turning into a sigh.

"You Snow Wolves were willing to save a Golden Lion cub. I thank you on their behalf. Your worry is correct. The Golden Lion tribe has been arguing endlessly every day due to differing opinions in recent years, and the number of cubs born each year isn’t high. If Tan had known back then, he definitely would have taken him away."

Seeing Eric still worried, he smiled and said: "Wait until I return to the Kingdom; I’ll tell them to keep their mouths shut and not say what shouldn’t be said."

"Thank you, Leo is like a biological brother to me; I can’t bear to let him return. Moreover, the current situation in the Kingdom isn’t suitable for a cub to live in." Eric said gratefully.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want Leo to go back to see his biological parents, strictly speaking. It was just that although Sunflower didn’t go into detail, he could guess from the current situation and the simple descriptions in the original work that the Kingdom was currently undergoing a tug-of-war war, and a coup would likely occur before long. At that time, internal strife would be ceaseless, and Leo’s identity was special, making him very easy to use as a hostage.

Sunflower smiled gently: "You and your mother are both kind beastmen. I admire the warriors of the Hadu tribe for having a tribe leader like you."

The straightforward praise made Eric a bit shy: "Thank you, I’m just doing my best. The Kingdom will definitely get better too."

Sunflower’s gaze lingered in the distance for a while, then he sighed silently.

...

The Elves had been gone for a few days. Max led the tribesmen to patrol around the territory, and after confirming safety, he decided to take Honey back to the Red Blessing Snake Tribe.

They had originally planned to take her home in early spring, but who knew it would keep getting delayed.

Seeing summer approaching, Eric worried that with all this busyness, they still wouldn’t have taken her back by the time the Snake tribe went into hibernation, so he had Max, Michael, and Grass set off in the next few days.

With Sunflower and the others in the tribe, the Hadu tribe’s safety was also guaranteed. Conversely, if they really had bad intentions, it would be useless even if Max and the others were here, so they might as well not waste time.

Moreover, the amount of salt the tribe received from the human mercenary group previously was nearly exhausted, and the salt that Eric and the others secretly brought back from the coast wasn’t much left either.

Taking advantage of this trip, they could refine some more salt to bring back.

Last time, aside from Eric demonstrating filtering coarse salt into refined salt, the boiling of seawater to make salt was done by Max and Michael. They were very familiar with that process and could handle it completely.

Grass was careful and strong; taking this opportunity to learn how to make salt would make her the best candidate to lead people in charge of the tribe’s salt production in the future.

Before the group set off, Eric called Michael over to knead dough together, baking a lot of flatbreads, and boiled all the remaining salted duck eggs for them to eat along the way.

For the past two days, Eric’s house always smelled of oil and flour; anyone passing by had to stop and sniff a few times before leaving.

Although dry provisions were prepared, this was the first time Eric had been away from Max for so long, and he was very reluctant in his heart. Plus, Michael and Grass were also going along; his lover and best friends were all leaving at once.

Thinking for a moment, Eric left Michael there kneading dough to bake cakes, while he brought out a jar of minced chili. Minced chili was refreshing when eaten directly, but it would taste better if processed a bit.

In a large wok, diced beef was stir-fried until dry and fragrant, then minced garlic was added. After frying until the garlic aroma emerged, the minced chili sauce was added. Eric added a little more salt so it would taste better with rice.

Just in time, the Dwarves had made quite a few glass jars. Living in the beastman tribe for a long time, the utensils they made had very large capacities.

Eric mainly wanted to use high-purity glass to make some beautiful utensils to sell to humans, so such large sizes certainly wouldn’t do, as human nobility liked small and exquisite styles.

These large jars made by the Dwarves’ carelessness were just right for storing the minced beef chili sauce. The mouth of the jar was sealed with a wooden cork, taken out as needed.

It had to be said, the glass jar filled with bright red chili sauce looked extremely eye-catching. Through the clear glass, one could clearly see the chili sauce inside, and even the brown beef cubes were visible.

Michael finished another batch of flatbreads, unable to withstand the spicy smell wafting nearby. He shoveled the last piece of flatbread out, paused his work, and squatted down beside Eric.

"Michael, why are you so silent? You startled me."

Anyone concentrating on work who turned their head to see a large face, no matter how beautiful the owner of that face was, would be scared. Eric almost dropped the jar in his hand.

Michael smiled sheepishly: "What are you making? It smells so good, I couldn’t help myself for a moment..."

"This? It’s freshly made minced beef chili sauce. Just in time for the two of us to try it first."

Eric said, immediately forgetting about being scared.

He eagerly brought over a large plate of flatbreads, used his sharp claws to cut open the side of a bread, and spooned some sauce inside.
