Chapter 9

  "Brother Mo Ze, there may not be only one love grass, and Beichen was also there at the time. Don't you believe Xier?"

Tears were welling up in Yunxi's eyes. Her fair little hands tightly grasped Mo Ze's clothes, and then she looked at Mu Beichen in the crowd as if asking for help.

  She was gambling that everyone would believe her.

  Su Cha also looked in the direction and saw Mu Beichen standing in the crowd smugly.

  Everyone also discovered that this orc was obviously not from their tribe.

  Mu Beichen stood up in front of everyone, ready to speak for Yunxi, when he saw Su Cha raise her hand and twist her fingers, with an unspoken threat in her eyes.

  If this bootlicker snake dares to ruin her good deeds, next time she will drain his blood and dry him into a dried snake.

  This action successfully froze the playful smile on Mu Beichen's lips. He recalled the embarrassing scenes and shuddered unconsciously.

  "I don't know anything." Mu Beichen spread his hands, his eyes conveying his helplessness.

  If it gets out that he was beaten by a female, it will be a huge shame!

  As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to Yunxi.

  At this moment, the beauty looked heartbroken, tears streaming down her face, making her look even more pitiful.

  Su Cha couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

  "Okay, fine. Haven't I been slapped enough in the past? We are even now." After these words came out, Mo Ze's expression became even more guilty.

  In the end, due to Yunxi's reluctance, the matter came to an end.

....

 

  Su Cha used some beast coins to exchange for some fine salt from the tribe leader. Seeing that the price of animal skins was cheap, she also exchanged some.

  Today is the middle of the month, and the tribe will distribute meat. Su Cha also received some, a piece of beef and half-fat and half-lean wild boar meat, and she also asked for some bones discarded by the orcs.

  Su Cha looked at the black salt. It was said to be fine salt, but it was not fine at all.

  Recently, she has been using the refined salt from her space for cooking, but it will run out one day, so she decided to refine some herself.

Their Lan Li tribe owned a small salt mine but lacked the ability to refine edible salt. So they sell rock salt to the Ba Lin tribe and get fine salt.

  In addition to the Ba Lin tribe, the mermaids can also refine better and finer salt, but the price is also more expensive.

....

  Su Cha went to the back mountain to find some necessary herbs, and then went to the river to fetch a large bucket of water and a tube of pebbles and sand.

  Cang Yuan just watched Su Cha busying herself without saying a word.

  In fact, it is very simple to extract fine salt. The difficulty lies in the fact that there is no filter paper.

  She poured all the black salt into the pot of boiling water and stirred it. Then started making the filter.

  Su Cha washed the mud, pebbles and charcoal one by one, put them in layers in a large bamboo tube.

  Fearing that the effect would not be good, Su Cha made a few more and prepared to filter them several times.

  Su Cha patiently filtered again and again until the water flowing out of the bamboo tube became clear.

  Cang Yuan just watched quietly on the side, not knowing what Su Cha was going to do.

  Su Cha poured the filtered salt water into a washed stone pot and began to heat it again.

  After the water evaporated it revealed much lighter salt particles, same as the fine salt made by the mermaids.

  Cangyuan's expression gradually showed some shock, and his usually cold eyes also showed solemnity.

  "Is this fine salt?"

  "To be precise, this is called coarse salt. The mermaids also refine this kind of coarse salt. Fine salt needs to be refined twice more." Su Cha tasted it and explained to Cang Yuan.

  "Does every orc in your tribe know these?" Cangyuan narrowed his emerald green eyes slightly, locking onto Su Cha's calm little face.

  Su Cha knew that he was testing her again, and said indifferently, "No."

  Su Cha repeated the process one last time, and the crystallized salt became fine and white.

  Phew, it's finally done.

  After this operation, the original black salt was reduced by half.

  Su Cha put some of the salt in a small bamboo tube and used it in the kitchen, and placed the rest in the space.

  Su Cha was still cooking and the fragrance of the ribs spread throughout the courtyard.

  "Knock knock!" There was a knock on the door.

  Su Cha put down the spoon in her hand, wondering who it is now.

  When Su Cha opened the door, she saw Mu Beichen leaning against the side of the door, flirting with his hair on his forehead.

  "Little female."

  "Bang!"

  Mu Beichen touched his nose and looked at the closed door. When did he become so unwelcome?

  "Boom boom!"

  The knock on the door sounded again, and Cang Yuan looked at Su Cha who walked back as if nothing had happened in confusion.

  Cang Yuan didn't ask, and Su Cha didn't say anything, and continued to cook her meal.

  The knocking stopped after a while, but soon there was a loud bang and the entire wall on the right to the courtyard door collapsed.

  Su Cha was startled by the noise and after putting the steak on the plate, Su Cha walked towards the yard with a bad look on her face.

  Cang Yuan saw Mu Beichen's embarrassed expression, with undisguised hostility in his eyes. The smell on Su Cha last night was of this snake.

  Mu Beichen touched the teardrop mole at the corner of his eye and raised a provocative smile: "Are you the male partner of this little female?"

  Cangyuan's green eyes deepened, but he did not answer.

  Just as Mu Beichen was about to move forward, he was startled by a bamboo chopstick coming towards him.

  "Little female, this is a misunderstanding. I didn't expect the wall to fall down as soon as I touched it." Mu Beichen dodged sideways and gave Su Cha a charming smile.

  Su Cha looked at Mu Beichen, and said with a frown: "Don't you know that you are not welcome here? Besides, I have a name."

  "Okay, then I'll call you Su Cha from now on." Mu Beichen shamelessly ignored the previous sentence.

  "Mu Beichen, are you looking for death? If you don't fix this wall for me today, don't even think about leaving here."

  Seeing that Su Cha was about to take something out of her sleeve, Mu Beichen nodded and agreed: "Su Cha, don't, I'll repair the wall for you."

  Then, when he saw that Su Cha looked better, he shamelessly walked towards the source of the fragrance.

  "Su Cha, what delicious food are you making here? Can I stay and have dinner while I repair the wall for you?"

  "No." Su Cha refused without hesitation.

  Mu Beichen was a little hurt.

  "I broke up with my savior just to speak up for you. How can you be so heartless?"

  Su Cha raised her eyebrows, her eyes clearly saying,

What does it have to do with me?

  In the end, Mu Beichen was defeated, "I'll pay you with beast coins, okay?"

  Su Cha could barely accept this because she was short of money.
