Quick Pass: Start a grocery store

Chapter 246. Beast World: Warm Winter
In the blink of an eye, a month passed, and in another month at most, the severe winter that would torture the orcs would come.

But this year, none of the orcs were sad. On the contrary, they all had cheerful smiles on their faces.

And this huge change is only because they know that they have enough food.

Although the meat reserves are still not particularly sufficient, there are a lot of preserved fruits.

In the next week or so, when the male orcs found that the small animals could not be caught with traps in the jungle, they chose to give up.

They took over the gathering, and the females only had to make the preserves.

With more people, the speed and efficiency of work will also increase.

What's more, males are powerful and energetic, and the fruit they can bring back every day is several times that of females.

If it wasn't because they were carnivorous races, these fruits alone would be enough for them to survive the whole winter comfortably.

Now that I think about it, I am quite envious of the rabbit clan, cow clan, deer clan... and even the cat clan next door.

The former is vegetarian, while the latter is omnivorous. They only need fruits to maintain energy for the body.

It's not like them at all, they still need to eat meat, and they will feel exhausted if they don't eat meat for a long time.

However, the corresponding disadvantage is that the power and strength of these races are inherently inferior.

But at least they are not easy to die in winter.

From the dried red fruit that everyone dislikes to the preserved fruit that everyone loves, the difference between them is only one white sugar.

Now all the tribes around here basically have people who have learned how to make preserved fruit and jerky.

Whether it is an adult or a child, they usually like to eat and play with preserved fruit as a snack.

Anyway, there is a lot of food now, so they are not afraid at all.

And Su Mo also made a lot of money during this period, and nearly 70% of the income came from sugar, salt, and seasoning.

It has to be said that these orcs are not only very capable of learning, but also very capable of drawing inferences from one instance.

They are now more than just cooking broth.

They also learned to make jam with white sugar and red or green fruit as dessert for the children in the clan.

In addition, there is also barbecue, which only needs to add salt and seasoning to the meat, but the taste and texture are completely different from dried meat and broth.

There are even orcs who invented red fruit broth.

Put the washed red fruit directly into the water to make a pot of red soup, and then add the boiled meat and seasoning.

At first glance, it looks a bit like the old tomato broth, but the taste is a bit strange, and in the strangeness, it feels a little inexplicably delicious...

Although it is contradictory, it is delicious.

Su Mo couldn't help but admire their creativity.

Let's talk about the patriarchs here.

This is definitely the most comfortable year since they served as patriarchs.

Where is it like in previous years, you need to run around for food every day.

And I don't know why, one year is not as good as one year.

The number of orcs who starved to death last year was several times that of before.

Originally, they all thought that this year's winter would be more difficult, but they didn't expect that Lord Beast God actually heard their prayers...

Just during this time, the Snake Clan hurriedly rebuilt the altar.

The location is right next to the grocery store, which is not shy at all.

Anyway, they are all beast gods, and there is no major problem in building them together.

And they don't mind, and the people of other tribes don't mind much more.

Not only did they not mind, but when they passed by, they would also pay homage to the Beast God - but after all, it was not an altar within their own clan, so they didn't go in, everyone was worshiping the Beast God outside.

Such happy days did not last long.

Because soon, the world began to snow.

At the beginning, it was just fine snow, but within three days, the snow became bigger and bigger.

The temperature outside also began to drop sharply.

This cooling is different from the cooling in the last days, it is a normal winter cooling.

Most of the orcs don't have normal warm clothes, and they usually wear simple animal fur clothes.

This kind of animal fur clothing does not keep warm at all, and at most it serves as a cover for the body, especially in the cold winter, even an orc with thick fur cannot withstand the temperature.

At the beginning, the orcs would go to the grocery store to buy things under the snow, and check in every day.

After the snow became heavier, Su Mo saw that they really couldn't come, so he simply told everyone not to come, and the grocery store would wait until the weather cleared up before opening.

Even though Su Mo put on a thick cotton coat, as soon as he walked out of the heated grocery store, he would feel the biting cold.

This is at least ten degrees below zero.

Normal human beings may not live long without heating or other means of heating.

Only orcs with rough skin and thick flesh and fur that can keep warm can survive here.

Moreover, these orcs have survived in such a harsh environment for so long, so they naturally have their own way of coping.

The first is that they have stockpiled a lot of wood for heating in winter.

And they made a huge cave, big enough to hold an entire tribe.

Here they would either light a small bonfire around it, or a large bonfire in the middle.

Then a whole tribe of people will gather here during the day, become prototypes, and then keep warm and rest.

This is not only safe, but also can find out in time whether there are any abnormalities in other tribesmen.

Not only that, but also the consumption of fuel such as wood can be saved.

Unlike previous years, they prepared food for nearly three months this time.

Although winter lasts for four months, only the first two months have severe snowfall. From the third month onwards, they can go out for activities.

At the same time, seedlings of fruit will grow in the jungle, and some edible plants that only appear at this time of year will also start to grow.

If you are lucky, you may even encounter small animals that are ready to forage due to food shortages.

In the past, they could only prepare food for two months at most, which happened to end at the worst time of winter.

At the same time, they will also fall into the situation of running out of ammunition and food.

They have to go out every day to find food, and if they can't find it, they will be hungry.

But because I was hungry and had no energy, I couldn't find food... This is undoubtedly a vicious circle.

What's more, they still couldn't even save food for two months for several years, and the situation at that time was undoubtedly even more difficult.

And this year's food for three full months is enough for them to survive the most difficult period.

And you can also have a month's worth of food as a reserve in case of a rainy day.
