Chapter 229: News From The Wolf Tribe
Qin Wanwan also ran happily to the back with her own small bowl.
Rice wine is delicious and intoxicating; she could drink another big bowl!
Just as it was almost her turn, Xie Chong picked her up.
“Drink less.”
Then he said to the animals, who had already finished and were now behind Little Chubby Cub, “One scoop per animal, no more.”
Alcohol is pleasant in moderation but harmful in excess.
Although the rice wine isn’t high in alcohol and can be considered a drink, this is a four-year-old little milk ball and a group of animals.
The elder still needs to stop it.
Little Chubby Cub protestingly kicked her chubby legs.
“Daddy, I can still drink; this is delicious.”
“Drinking harms the body.”
Qin Wanwan quibbled, “This is rice wine, not liquor.”
“We’ll make sweet rice dumplings to eat later; you can’t drink any more now.”
Hearing his words, Little Chubby Cub calmed down.
“Then Daddy, I want to drink milk tea.”
“Okay.”
Milk tea is fine. Besides making one fat, it’s quite good. The milk is fresh, and the tea leaves were obtained from Shang Wuyang.
Xie Chong even got the most expensive kind.
The cub wants to drink it, so of course, she deserves the best.
As for him, he’ll just have some to drink.
Before Qin Wanwan and Keke figured out how to drink milk tea, goat milk and cow’s milk were always looked down upon.
Even though they knew these things were good and nutritious, except for feeding infants without mothers, no adult, including Xie Chong, liked them.
But since milk tea came out, even without adding tea leaves, throwing in a handful of Spirit Pasture Grass and boiling it could remove the fishy smell and add a grassy aroma.
Since then, the military camp’s cow’s milk and goat’s milk have never been discarded. The cooks would prepare the fresh milk of the day, remove the fishy smell, and boil it for several cavalrymen and the adults.
It’s definitely not enough to distribute to the entire Border Army, but adding some cow’s milk or goat’s milk when making steamed buns would make them tastier.
This is also why Qin Wanwan wanted to eat it, and after Aunt Zhang made it, Xie Chong had the cooks follow this method.
It must be said that after drinking cow’s milk and goat’s milk, the soldiers under his command have become more energetic and stronger.
“How about raising a ewe at home?”
They had raised one before, when the animals at home were still young and needed milk.
Later, when they grew up and no longer needed milk, the sheep were sent back.
But now that Wanwan is back, she will definitely need milk tea or fresh milk in the future.
It would be too troublesome to get goat’s milk from the military camp then.
Qin Wanwan raised her small bowl: “Raise cows, we need milk, cows are big, and they produce a lot of milk.”
“Wolf Xiaofeng and the others are still big babies; they also need to drink milk.”
Their family has many animals, and their demand for milk is high.
Xie Chong:…………
“Okay.”
A large pot of milk tea was quickly finished by people and animals alike.
Xie Chong: We really need to raise cows, or there won’t be enough to drink.
Today’s sweet rice dumplings were especially delicious, soft and chewy with the fragrance of rice wine. Qin Wanwan ate a whole bowl by herself.
She was stopped when she wanted to eat more.
“Don’t stuff yourself if your belly is full; this is hard to digest.”
The old Xie Chong was a rough man; he wouldn’t have paid attention to such things.
But now he pays special attention to raising children and even specifically sought out subordinates with children to learn how to raise them.
Those subordinates didn’t really know much either; they were about the same as Xie Chong.
But their wives at home did know. They would go back, inquire, and then report to the general.
So Xie Chong now knows quite a few little tricks for raising children.
Qin Wanwan pouted but didn’t insist on eating more.
Then she was taken by Father Xie to digest her food.
Other wine would have to wait for a while.
During this period, Xie Chong was also incredibly busy and didn’t come home for several days.
But he was still thinking about getting a cow for Wanwan and had sent people to search.
Requirements: high milk yield, gentle personality, and good-looking.
Little Chubby Cub has a bit of a face-con, so the animals need to be good-looking too.
Qin Wanwan was alone at home sometimes, with Wolf Fang accompanying her.
She braided beautiful pigtails for all the furry animals in the house.
Her braiding skills are now very proficient.
Then she took them out, looking beautiful.
As soon as they exited the city gate, several familiar people caught up.
“Great Wolf God, please allow us to follow you.”
“Why are you guys here again?”
Qin Wanwan sat on a wolf’s back, and even she, so small, was a little speechless. These few people, eight out of ten times she takes the three wolves out, they encounter them.
They must be deliberately waiting at their doorstep.
“Saintess, you must be the Saintess!”
During this time, they had also realized that she could understand their language, allow them to understand her words, and command the Wolf God. This little girl must be their Wolf Tribe’s Saintess.
Qin Wanwan asked curiously, “Which tribe are you from? And why do you think my wolves are Wolf Gods? They just look a bit bigger than ordinary wolves.”
“Reporting to the Saintess, we are from the Wolf Tribe.”
Wolf Fang cast a glance at them.
Qin Wanwan tilted her head, “But that’s not right. I heard Daddy say that people from the Wolf Tribe all have blue eyes, like Wolf Fang.”
Those few people said sheepishly, “To be precise, we are the subordinates left behind by the Wolf Tribe.”
They glanced at Wolf Fang; indeed, compared to them, this young man looked more like someone from the Wolf Tribe.
“Although we are only subordinates of the Wolf Tribe, we are proud of the Wolf Tribe and also believe in the Wolf God. Moreover… only the Wolf God can lead us to find the true Wolf Tribe members.”
Qin Wanwan’s eyes lit up; this was a story.
She loved listening to stories the most.
“We are going out to play now. Do you want to come along? We can talk as we walk.”
The few people who called themselves from the Wolf Tribe quickly nodded. It was their honor to walk with the Wolf God and the Saintess.
“The ancestors of all of us were rescued from grassland bandits by the Wolf Tribe members. For generations, we lived with the Wolf Tribe members for a long time. The true Wolf Tribe members are like that young brother, with blue eyes, but much taller than him, each Wolf Tribe member can grow to eight feet eight （ two meters ）, they are immensely strong, can fight bears single-handedly, and can command wolf packs…”
The rest is a series of flattering words.
It could be seen that these people truly revered the true Wolf Tribe members.
“Unfortunately, in a celestial wrath, we were separated from the Wolf Tribe members, and no matter how we searched, we could no longer find the way back in the vast snowfield. It’s all the fault of those damned bandits and villains; they angered the gods by trying to steal the Wolf Tribe’s treasures, causing the celestial wrath.”
Qin Wanwan: “What is celestial wrath?”
The expressions of several people turned fearful.
“Celestial wrath is the punishment of the gods upon the greedy and irreverent. The snowfield collapses, and all life will be buried in the accumulated snow…”
Keke: “Isn’t that just an avalanche?”
Making such a big fuss about it.
However, it’s understandable that in this era, many things that humans couldn’t overcome or explain were mythologized.
Avalanches, earthquakes, droughts, floods…
These were all passed off as the heavens being angry.
