Shuang Yun found a patch of land at the foot of the mountain. The soil was soft and fertile. It was perfect for planting crops.
Lin Huanhuan personally went down the mountain to investigate and found a small river beside the land.
After asking, she realized that this small river was one of the tributaries of the Black River.
This place was really good!
Lin Huanhuan was very satisfied with this place. If Shuang Yun and Bai Di hadn’t stopped her, she would have wanted to build a wooden hut here and stay there.
They had to loosen the soil first. They needed a hoe to loosen the soil.
There was no metal here, so Lin Huanhuan could only get someone to help polish a few stones. She tied them to wooden sticks with sturdy grass ropes and made a simple version of a hoe.
Lin Huanhuan tried it and realized that it could be used, but it was very heavy.
It took her a lot of effort to barely lift it.
In the end, Bai Di couldn’t stand it anymore. He took the hoe. “I’ll do what you want.”

Lin Huanhuan was very happy that someone was willing to help with the farm work. She gestured and said, “From there to here, loosen the land with the hoe.”
Bai Di tried to dig with the hoe twice, then asked, “Like this?”
Lin Huanhuan quickly nodded. “Yes, that’s right!”
Shuang Yun stared at it and thought that the job looked quite simple, so he quietly touched a hoe as well and began to loosen the soil.
Later, he broke the hoe because he used too much strength.
He simply threw the hoe aside and used both paws to dig.
His sharp wolf claws were enough to cut through iron like mud. A little soil was nothing to him. He dug his way through like cutting tofu.
When Lin Huanhuan turned around to look at him, she realized that Shuang Yun had already loosened a large area of the ground.
This speed was simply terrifying!
Lin Huanhuan praised sincerely, “You’re amazing!”
Shuang Yun, who had been praised, looked up and smiled proudly. “This is a piece of cake for me. It’s very simple!”
Lin Huanhuan looked at him and felt as though she was looking at a large canine that was squatting on the ground, seemingly wagging its tail and begging her to caress him.
She couldn’t help but stand on tiptoe and reach out to touch his head. “All the best. After we’re done planting, I’ll make meat buns for you!”
Shuang Yun felt comfortable being touched. His eyes narrowed.
He didn’t know what a meat bun was, but as long as it was something Huanhuan made, it was definitely something good!
He said, “I’ll leave the meat buns for you and the wolf pups. I don’t have to eat them.”
Lin Huanhuan smiled, feeling warm inside.
Bai Di saw this, and the possessive desire in him began to stir again.
He immediately looked away and lowered his head to face the ground.
Ever since he learned that the master ring could affect his emotions, Bai Di deliberately trained his self-control, trying not to be affected again.

He loved Huanhuan, but he couldn’t make that love her burden.

Bai Di and Shuang Yun were especially fast. In just half a day, they had plowed two acres of land.
Lin Huanhuan slowly scattered the seeds and covered them with a soft layer of soil.
These were all vegetable plants, so they could grow relatively fast.
In addition, she had plowed out a piece of land beside the vegetable field. She scattered seeds on the soil and watered them.
After doing this, the sun was about to set. Shuang Yun transformed into a wolf and carried Lin Huanhuan home.
Bai Di followed them, carrying a hoe and a wooden bucket. His gaze softened as he watched Huanhuan’s figure sway gently in the setting sun.
In the following days, Bai Di and Shuang Yun took turns going out to hunt. The person who stayed at home would accompany Huanhuan down the mountain to water the vegetable fields.
While fetching water, Lin Huanhuan accidentally discovered fish and prawns in the river.
She said excitedly, “Let’s eat fish tonight!”
The person who stayed at home with her today was Bai Di. He liked to eat fish and prawns. When he lived alone in the past, he would go into the water to catch fish, so his fishing skills were not bad.

The river wasn’t deep, and Bai Di jumped into it with his long legs.
Lin Huanhuan squatted on the shore and stared at his movements without blinking.
Bai Di was very focused as he stared at the fish and prawns in the water. His blue pupils would shrink into a straight line.
His movements were fast and accurate. In just a moment, he had caught a bucket full of fish and prawns.
Lin Huanhuan cheered happily. “We can have an all-fish banquet tonight!”
Bai Di picked up the barrel with one hand and picked her up with the other. He walked steadily home.
Lin Huanhuan’s culinary skills were not good, but she was especially good at eating!

Bai Di was in charge of cooking, while Lin Huanhuan was in charge of standing at the side and giving technical guidance. The two of them had been fiddling for the entire afternoon. Due to the lack of materials, they were unable to make a full fish banquet, but they managed to cook a large pot of boiled fish. There were also raw fish slices and pickled vegetables.
The fragrance was overwhelming, making her mouth water.
Most beasts didn’t like fish. They found it especially fishy and didn’t like how they had many bones.
But as a big cat, Bai Di liked the smell. As for the fish bones, he just chewed them and swallowed them.
In the past, he would eat fish raw. He wouldn’t even remove the scales. Today was his first time eating cooked fish.
The delicious fragrance almost made him lose control.
As soon as Shuang Yun returned, the three of them hurriedly ate.
As soon as he took a bite, Bai Di’s pupils shrank to vertical lines. He looked even more like a cat now.
It was so fresh and tender. The taste was amazing!
Shuang Yun, who did not like fish, also praised this pot of fish.
Lin Huanhuan naturally ate very happily.
They ate all the fish, leaving nothing behind.
The next day, Bai Di went to catch a big bucket of fish and went home. He was addicted to fish and decided to eat fish every day for the rest of his life. For this, he developed several fish dishes.

Lin Huanhuan and Shuang Yun also ate a lot of delicious fish meat. They kept encouraging him to work harder and try to research more delicious delicacies.
During this period, Lin Huanhuan’s vegetables sprouted.
She did not know if it was her imagination, but she felt that the vegetables she planted grew especially quickly. In just ten days, the vegetable field was already filled with fresh and lush vegetables.

Even the saplings in the field beside were already taller than humans. The branches were filled with tender leaves.
Those who didn’t know better would think that she had injected these vegetables and trees with hormones!

Lin Huanhuan was a little worried that something was wrong with the vegetables as they grew too fast. She carefully picked a vegetable and planned to bring it back to study it.
This type of vegetable grew very large cabbages. They were called cabbage sprouts in the sheepskin illustrated book.
This cabbage sprout was so huge that Lin Huanhuan couldn’t carry it alone. In the end, Bai Di helped her carry it home
