Pebble and the others were about to throw the fish bones into the fire to roast when someone suddenly shouted. Their hands trembled in shock and they almost dropped the fish bones.
Tang Guo frowned slightly and glanced at the female who was shouting. She realized that they did not usually interact.
She didn’t say anything, but instructed Pebble, “Hold it steady and don’t drop it. Bring it over when it’s done. You can eat it when it’s cooked.”
Pebble nodded. “Yes!”
Then, he said to the adult orcs who were watching, “The fish made by my Sister Tang Guo is very delicious. Stop shouting here!”
Most importantly, there were too many people around. He was afraid that there would not be enough food to share later!
Actually, he wasn’t the only one with these concerns. Milo and the others, who were helping the males building the house, had them too.

They had eaten Tang Guo’s fish before, and it was really delicious. For a moment, they all licked their mouths, and just thinking about it made their mouths water.
Moreover, all of them had a huge appetite. To be honest, this fish meat was indeed not enough to fill their stomachs. It was not even enough for the few of them. If it was shared by the surrounding orcs…
Therefore, they stopped building houses. Seeing that their females were learning to cook new fish delicacies in front of Tang Guo, they all leaned over and surrounded Tang Guo and the simple stove.
This way, even if someone outside wanted to snatch it, they wouldn’t be able to.
This time, Tang Guo chose fish with very few bones. Other than a skeleton, there were no other small bones. She chopped the fish meat into meat paste with a bone knife.
She sprinkled a little chili powder and plant salt, then smashed it in a stone basin. When it was almost ready, the fish soup in the soup pot was boiling, so she squeezed the smashed fish paste into small balls and put them into the pot.
When the fishballs rolled on the soup surface, the dish was done.
But apart from Tang Guo herself, almost no one ate fish heads and tails. She didn’t care. In any case, she used them to make soup to bring out the freshness. She only used the head and tail of a fish. She had left the rest behind. She planned to take them back to the cave before putting them in her space.
She would save it for broiling soup later.
At this moment, the cubs’ bones were all roasted. Because they could not bear to throw the bones into the fire, they used branches to roast them.
The process was a little difficult, so the roasting was slow.
“Sister Tang Guo, help us take a look. Is this cooked?” Pebble shouted happily. She could still hear him slurping.
The other whelps weren’t much better. Their eyes followed the roasted bones of the rack. They were drooling.
Tang Guo walked over and picked one up. It was slightly burned. She took a bite and it cracked.
“Yes, it’s cooked. Eat it. Chew it a few more times when you chew. Don’t be careless!”
“Yes, yes!”
The brats cheered and divided the grilled fish bones as quickly as they could.
As for the female beasts surrounding them outside, they no longer cared if the brats ate the fish bones or not.
They couldn’t see anything from outside, but when the fish soup in the stone pot boiled and the fragrance wafted, they were deeply attracted.
After another moment, she seemed to have cooked those shrimps and crabs, too?
That delicious scent made them drool uncontrollably!
Then, after a while, she saw the males surrounding her eating happily. After those brats finished eating the fish bones, they quickly came over to snatch the food from them.
No matter how many questions those people had, they swallowed them all.
The dirty fish was fishy and smelly?
No, they clearly smelled great!
The bone-chilling sting of a dirty fish could choke someone to death?
No, those little brats had finished chewing on the fish bones. They were jumping around happily now, snatching food from the adult male beasts. They wanted to fight!
The females looked at each other, smelling the delicious aroma. They wanted to eat, but they didn’t have the cheek to ask.
Someone shouted, “Aiya, this delicious meatball is gone! Boohoo, I haven’t eaten it yet!”
“Aiya, this shrimp is so delicious. Leave some for me!”
Therefore, everyone’s eyes fell on Tang Guo again. Tang Guo hadn’t eaten it herself, and she didn’t know how it tasted. However, seeing that they were eating so happily, she guessed that it must taste good.
So she said to Milo, Xue, and Rorie, “Come on, I’ll show you how to do it.”
“This is called a fish ball. You have to choose the part of the fish that doesn’t have any bones, then chop it into pieces and add seasoning before hitting it. This step is very important. Otherwise, the ball won’t take shape.”
The three females nodded as they listened, then started cooking themselves.
The female beasts watching outside were all very envious at this moment. They were already wondering what they could use to exchange for this delicacy with Tang Guo.
With that in mind, they couldn’t eat anyway, so everyone dispersed and even called the brats who had already freeloaded on the delicacies home.
Someone couldn’t help but ask, “Is it really delicious?”
“Delicious! Very delicious!” Little brats would not lie!
No one saw that Aayun’s expression was quite ugly. She stared indignantly at Tang Guo, who was surrounded and flattered, and walked away angrily.
As she passed the piled mud bricks, she suddenly stopped and a strange light burst out of her eyes.
