Chapter 39 Delicious Potato Pancakes
At this moment, the clansmen's attention finally turned to the colorful phoenix eggs.
Lu Xiao looked at the colorful phoenix eggs excitedly, "Are we going to have little colorful phoenix chickens?"
Lin Baiyan shook his head. "No, these Rainbow Phoenix Chickens are all females. Eggs laid without fertilization cannot hatch into chicks."
Lu Xiao frowned, trying hard to understand what Lin Baiyan was saying, and then suddenly realized.
He chuckled, "Bai Yan, you mean the Rainbow Phoenix Chicken can't produce chicks because it didn't mate, right?"
The young man blushed deeply at his blunt words. He stammered as he looked at Lu Xiao, then at the surrounding tribesmen who all seemed to understand and showed no unease.
"Garlic, garlic," the young man thought dejectedly. "Aren't they ashamed of me? What am I worrying about?"
Lin Baiyan nodded haphazardly, "That's about right."
"Keep these eggs for now. I'll cook them for you when we've accumulated enough eggs in a couple of days," the young man quickly changed the subject.
An egg is too small; no matter how you divide it, there won't be enough for everyone to have a bite. So, let's not divide it now and just keep it for now.
The surrounding tribesmen looked at the colorful phoenix egg in Lin Baiyan's hand with great interest, as it was the first colorful phoenix egg in their tribe.
The priest said that the Rainbow Phoenix Chicken would lay more eggs in the future. If that's the case, with chickens laying eggs and eggs hatching into chickens, wouldn't they have a lot of chickens and eggs in the future?
The tribespeople gasped for breath, their eyes lit up with excitement, as if they could already see a steady stream of colorful phoenix chickens and eggs beckoning to them.
Many orcs were bewildered. According to the priest, as long as they raised the Rainbow Phoenix Chickens well, they could just wait for them to lay eggs and take them directly. Wasn't this like getting free food?
If Lin Baiyan heard this, he would definitely tell them seriously, how could this be considered free? Don't they spend time feeding and watering the colorful phoenix chickens and cleaning the chicken coop every day? This takes a lot of manpower and resources.
The beastmen of today, of course, know nothing of human or material resources; they are all immersed in happiness.
"Wow, does that mean we'll have an endless supply of chicken from now on?"
"Idiot, the priest said the chicks won't be born yet!"
"It's alright, it's alright. We'll catch the male Rainbow Phoenix Chickens from now on. If they work together, we'll definitely have lots and lots of chickens!"
"We will definitely raise the Rainbow Phoenix Chicken well!"
"That's right, that's right, we gave them lots of bugs to eat."
A group of beastmen discussed animatedly, their faces full of anticipation.
Lin Baiyan cleared his throat. "We male beastmen should stay away from here, otherwise we'll scare the Rainbow Phoenix Chickens and they won't lay eggs."
There was no way around it; the male orcs exuded too much ferocity and bloodlust.
I haven't seen the little ones being fed these past two days. The Rainbow Phoenix Chicken has eaten everything and hasn't shown any signs of wanting to commit suicide.
I guess they were scared by the smell of the male beastmen before.
The male beastmen scratched their heads when they heard this. They couldn't be blamed for it; after all, which male beastman hadn't hunted before? Only the cubs had.
Since the priest had spoken, the orcs naturally complied. However, the male orcs were still somewhat frustrated; could they be blamed for that?
Lin Baiyan solemnly entrusted the task of raising the colorful phoenix chickens to Lang Yun, who seriously accepted the task with a serious expression.
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of them and try to lay lots and lots of eggs," Wolf Cloud said coolly.
Lin Baiyan patted Lang Yun's little shoulder with a smile.
After finishing this task, Lin Baiyan returned to the stone platform and began cutting potato shreds.
After chopping everything up, I took some wild vegetables, chopped them up, mixed them with the shredded potatoes, and added a little salt to marinate the shredded potatoes.
The young man slapped his forehead, remembering the oyster sauce he had brought back from the seaside. He had been so busy hiking in the mountains these past few days that he had completely forgotten about it. He quickly went back to the cave and brought out his precious wooden tube, along with some fatty meat.
At this moment, Cat Feather, with a bunch of little tails hanging behind her, sneaked out with Lin Baiyan, and Little Wolf Wood, who had been warned by Wolf Cloud, also followed along stealthily.
They seem to have a short memory and are incredibly carefree.
The little cubs are so curious about what delicious food the priest is going to make.
Lin Baiyan, on whom they had placed high hopes, then lifted the wooden tube, revealing a sticky, grayish-green substance inside... "Mud?"
The little cubs' eyes widened in surprise. Was the priest going to feed them mud?!
Then they saw the young man scoop up some "mud" and put it into the potatoes and wild vegetables.
The cubs' little faces were all scrunched up; mud mixed with wild vegetables made it doubly unpalatable!
But even though that's what they thought, no one bothered Lin Baiyan. The priest was their favorite person, even if he had to feed the children mud...
Everyone exchanged glances. No matter how bad the food was, they had to praise the priest brother and not make him sad!
With such expressive faces, how could Lin Baiyan not notice? He chuckled as he watched the little ones furrow their brows, but deliberately didn't explain, adding another spoonful of oyster sauce as if to tease them.
The young man smiled slowly.
Then cut off the fat, set up a thin stone slab, and start rendering the oil. Regardless of whether it tastes good or not, the kids' drool was pouring out of their mouths while rendering the oil.
Knowing that their priest brother liked fluffy things, the little cubs cleverly transformed into beast forms: wolf cubs, tiger cubs, cat cubs, rabbit cubs, and Pallas's rabbits—all sorts of fluffy creatures—and rolled over in front of Lin Baiyan.
Lin Baiyan picked out the oil residue and mixed it into the shredded potatoes.
Then scoop the oil into a small stone bowl, as the oil is too hot to be used in a bamboo bowl.
Using the oil from the bottom of the stone slab, he picked up a clump of shredded potatoes and vegetables, placed it on the slab, and then manually shaped it into a round pancake.
Pancakes should be cooked over low heat, so Lin Baiyan wasn't in a hurry and slowly cooked the potato pancakes.
Soon, the aroma of fried meat wafted from the stone slab, carrying the unique flavor of potatoes.
The little cubs had somehow formed a circle around each other.
Wolfwood's mouth was practically watering. "Priest brother, what did you make? It smells so good!"
Can wild vegetables really taste this good?
The wild vegetables he ate before were all awful!
Lin Baiyan smiled knowingly; he knew these little brats would come running as soon as they smelled the aroma.
"Potato pancakes, with my secret recipe!" Lin Baiyan pointed to the oyster sauce on the stone platform.
The little cubs looked in the direction he was looking, their eyes widening. Was this mud the secret recipe?
Did the priest really not lie to them?
Clearly, Lin Baiyan was serious.
After frying one potato pancake, the young man placed it on a stone slab and started frying the next one. As he became more skilled, he could fry four or five potato pancakes on one stone slab.
In no time, a small mountain of potato pancakes was piled up.
After finishing the last of the potato pancakes and vegetables, Lin Baiyan put down his chopsticks and looked at the little cubs around him who were staring at him expectantly.
He chuckled and waved to them, "Come on, it's all ready."
The cubs pounced on each other, running towards the priest brother together, then came to an abrupt halt and crouched down in front of the young man.
Lin Baiyan handed out potato cakes to the cubs one by one. The cubs took them and ate them without even looking up, showing no sign that they didn't like vegetables.
After finishing eating, it licked its paws as if it still wanted more.
Lin Baiyan smiled and patted Xiao Mao Xia's head. "You two take good care of the Rainbow Phoenix Chicken. When it lays eggs, the priest brother will cook you something delicious."
"Ow~"
Okay, okay!
The little cubs nodded happily.
