Chapter 511: Barbecue Seasoning

Seeing his look as if he wanted to swallow his own tongue, Wu Yue smiled and handed him a bamboo canister: "Inside is some powder I made myself, specially for sprinkling on barbecue—give it a try!"

The East Mulberry clan chief gazed longingly at the meat skewers about to be eaten, then reached out and took the bamboo canister still smaller than his palm.

One could see many tiny holes densely packed on the lid of the bamboo canister, and a very special scent wafted out from each little hole.

Just face the perforated side toward the skewers and give it a few gentle shakes.

As the East Mulberry clan chief shook it, dark green powder fluttered out of the holes onto the skewers, followed by a rich, overbearing aroma with a hint of stimulation.

After evenly sprinkling a layer, the East Mulberry clan chief could no longer resist and shoved the skewer into his mouth.

At this moment the skewer in his hand was no longer as scalding as before, but the temperature was just right for eating, so he took a bite and sucked the meat off the stick into his mouth.

Howl... howl howl!

He chewed the meat skewer, narrowing his eyes to enjoy the unique taste with a hint of stimulation in his mouth.

At that moment, Teng Qian, who was still threading skewers nearby, was practically drooling three thousand feet; having already eaten who-knows-how-many rounds, he hehe-laughed, snatched a few skewers from in front of Wu Yue, then took the bamboo canister from the East Mulberry clan chief and generously sprinkled some of Wu Yue's special barbecue seasoning.

He then directly brought a handful of skewers to his mouth and, with an "ah-woo", bit into them.

The distinctive aroma of the lamb skewers burst in his mouth, the fatty juices flowed, and combined with the numbing, spicy, and various flavored fruit notes from the barbecue seasoning, the once-despised big-horned sheep became a delicacy others couldn't afford.

Mmm! Supply your jade cu discard wood have ze brew so skill!

A muffled, unclear pronunciation—anyway, Wu Yue didn't understand what he was trying to express.

Meanwhile, the East Mulberry clan chief, having already finished the meat skewer in his hand, sat to one side drooling, "Good times, I still want more!"

But those salivating little eyes kept glancing at the small bamboo canister beside Teng Qian's hand—if they had what was inside, their future barbecue could become really, really delicious~

Want it!

Awa, who was grilling meat at the cave entrance, had already set aside her hunted game; the barbecue made by Shaman Yue was so fragrant that her weird-flavor barbecue learned from the super tribe was utterly unimpressive.

Yuan Lang, who had taken the meat skewer from Wu Yue, watched their drooling faces and felt a surge of pride: meat skewers are just the simplest food that females know how to make, and females can make many other delicious dishes, which they have never tasted!

But I have eaten them all~

Proudly hands on hips!

After eating a few skewers of barbecue, Wu Yue felt a bit greasy, so she took out her own dedicated small bowl and began sipping the rich bone soup.

The steaming, fragrant bone soup warmed her from the throat straight to the stomach with a sip, and soon her whole body felt cozy—needless to say, how comfortable.

'Drip—!'

The sound of water droplets hitting the ground was crystal clear to the keen-eared Beastman Warriors.

The Beastman Warriors who were greedily sucking on skewers all lifted their heads toward the sound's direction, and Wu Yue also raised her head from the steaming soup bowl.

'Huh?'

At the cave mouth, a thin little head poked out, its round, glossy eyes and familiar dark little face letting Wu Yue instantly recognize the youngling's identity.

Isn't this the half-beast youngling I rescued at the gathering? How did it end up here?

The East Mulberry clan chief, his mouth full of oil from sucking on skewers, looked at Wu Yue: "On our way back to the tribe we were ambushed by the Wuke and Sen tribes, and several medium-sized tribes were also blocked; someone in their tribes got injured, so they came back with us."

After a brief explanation, seeing Wu Yue gesture for the youngling to come in, the East Mulberry clan chief once again buried himself in his meal.

Those who eat dry rice, the spirit of dry rice, eating dry rice makes one superior to others!

Wu Yue set down her soup bowl and waved at the youngling: "Come in."

The half-beast youngling knew Wu Yue, and this Shaman Yue had indeed saved his life, but...

He looked at the bumps still on his body, feeling a fresh wave of sorrow; the medicinal herbs Shaman Yue had given him had been snatched away by those unpleasant people of the Wuke tribe...

"Youngling, come in."

The clear voice rang out again; the youngling couldn't suppress his craving for food, gulping down saliva as he cautiously stepped into the cave.

The thin little body's first act upon entering the cave was to kneel and pay respects to Wu Yue.

"Did the medicinal herbs I gave you before also get taken away?"

Wu Yue frowned at the little fellow, seeing that his bumps showed no sign of improvement.

The little fellow pursed his dry lips and nodded pitifully: "Taken... away..."

"Come over."

Wu Yue gestured.

After all, he's young; seeing Shaman Yue repeatedly call him forward, the youngling obediently stood up and walked to Wu Yue's side.

The little fellow's thin body still wore the animal-skin garment Wu Yue had given him, hanging loosely on him.

She took out a wooden bowl, filled it with some meat broth, and handed it to the youngling: "Drink some meat broth."

Although the meat broth's aroma wasn't as overpowering as the barbecue, its rich scent still drew saliva from the little fellow in steady streams.

He sneakily glanced at Shaman Yue sitting there, and the little fellow's eyes sparkled.

Shaman Yue truly is an emissary of the Beast God, the kindest shaman there is.

The youngling was still ill, so Wu Yue hadn't added the seasoning from the bamboo canister to his meat skewer, but the tender, juicy barbecue conquered his stomach the moment it entered his mouth.

He dares swear by the Beast God that since he was born, he has never eaten such delicious food, nor drunk such delicious 'water'.

"Take these packets of medicinal herbs back to your chief; I've already told him how to use them."

After the little fellow had eaten until his belly was full, Wu Yue turned sideways, took three packets of medicinal herbs from the nearby basket, and handed them together with the freshly packed skewers: "Hurry back now."

The little fellow placed Wu Yue's food and medicine packets to one side, then, after kneeling respectfully on the ground and performing a proper salute, he left, glancing back every three steps.

"Does Lord Wu Yue like this half-beast youngling?"

The East Mulberry clan chief laughed, a strange color flashing in his eyes.

Wu Yue glanced at him: "After all, he's someone I saved; if he doesn't recover and just dies, that wouldn't be good for me."

A flicker of disappointment crossed the East Mulberry clan chief's eyes, and he immediately suggested exchanging the barbecue seasoning Wu Yue had produced.

Wu Yue gave a wry smile: "The barbecue seasoning requires many kinds of medicinal herbs, fruits, and wild vegetables, and I formulated it back when I was in the forest across the river."
