Chapter 88: The Fish In This River Have Amazing Bodies!
However, facts proved that there was still quite a big gap between imagination and actually doing some things.
Catching fish barehanded, which looked very easy under Xiao Ju’s hands, became practically comparable to a hand-to-hand combat war when it came to Su Ran.
For the first time, Su Ran felt that fish being too big in size wasn’t so good either.
The fish body thicker than her arm couldn’t be held down with one hand at all!
The fish in the river were probably well-fed, well-played, and well-rested usually.
Their bodies were super strong!
So every time Su Ran thought she had easily touched a fish, that fish would “slap!” and smack away the back of her hand, then swim away arrogantly.
Su Ran felt that maybe after they swam away for a bit, they would even boldly swim back to see which foolish human had just tried to catch it!
In the end, after flopping around in the river for half a day, Su Ran only managed to catch two arm-length “small fish”.
And by now, Xiao Ju had already thrown nearly thirty half-meter-long blue fish onto the shore.
Probably because blue fish have better meat quality and texture, and taste good even when eaten raw, Xiao Ju particularly loved this kind of fish.
Among the thirty fish on the shore, only six or seven were the kind of green fish they ate before.
Seeing that the number of fish Xiao Ju caught was about enough, Su Ran quickly called to stop.
By now, the fish on the shore had been picked up by Bai Bai and Xiao San and thrown into the wooden basin.
Yao Yao saw Su Ran coming out of the water, pointed at the big fish jumping three feet high in the wooden basin without water, and asked Su Ran: “Ran Ran, fish… kill?”
She opened a pair of big blue eyes and looked at Su Ran, speaking softly.
Su Ran also looked at that fish, suddenly showing fierce eyes, and nodded hatefully: “Yeah, kill! Kill them all!”
Su Ran jumped twice on the river beach.
What she wore on her lower body today was a pair of shorts made from red-skinned pig’s hide.
Similar to beach shorts in style, same as what Grey was wearing.
Because the shorts only reached above the knee, even after flopping around in the water for so long just now, they weren’t wet much, so there was no need to go back and change clothes.
She jumped twice, then lifted her leg and shook it, shaking off a few drops of water from her leg.
After Su Ran came to this beastmen settlement, there were still many new things she taught the beastmen.
And what she taught the beastmen, whether making fire, salt making, making animal hide blankets or making tools, the beastmen learned very well and were very enthusiastic about learning.
But only the matter of wearing clothes seemed to have a not-so-high acceptance among the beastmen.
Grey wore clothes because Su Ran required it, plus seeing Su Ran wearing clothes every day influenced him, so day by day he got used to wearing clothes.
But other beastmen who weren’t as close to Su Ran didn’t have much interest in clothes.
Even among these few beastmen who were closer to Su Ran, only Yao Yao and A Huo showed great interest in clothes.
A Huo, upon first seeing Grey wearing the same beach shorts as Su Ran, showed a look of liking it very much.
At that time, Su Ran taught A Huo the method of making bone needles and sheep wool yarn, and Grey even got jealous and threw a big tantrum at her.
In the end, Su Ran coaxed that big grey wolf with a big meal full of things it liked, plus proactively cuddling and hugging at night.
And Yao Yao really liked Su Ran’s little strap tube top.
As for the reason…
Tsk…
It was because those two little cuties on her chest were really too spectacular.
To the point that she, with such a high daily activity level, had an amplitude of up-and-down bouncing that was really too painfully jiggly when running and jumping.
Su Ran had even occasionally seen her holding those two things while shuttling through the woods.
So one day, when Su Ran was making things by the riverside, because the weather was too hot, she took off the animal hide short-sleeved shirt she was wearing outside, leaving only a little strap tube top on her upper body.
She thought that at this time the beastmen wouldn’t come to the river beach much, and moreover, they wouldn’t come over to the rain shelter side for no reason.
Plus she still had a tube top on her upper body that reached down to her ribs exposing only her belly, so she took off the outer clothes.
Unexpectedly, Yao Yao suddenly ran to the riverside.
Then upon seeing the strap tube top on Su Ran, her pair of ice-blue eyes slowly widened round.
She stared at the strap on Su Ran for two seconds, then suddenly lowered her head to look at her own chest.
Two seconds later, she raised her head and started pointing at the strap tube top on Su Ran while whimpering…
And after that, besides Yao Yao and A Huo, the total number of beastmen in the settlement who wore animal hide clothing was less than twenty.
They even self-taught how to directly wrap animal hide around their waists and wear it directly as animal hide skirts.
However, even so, among the female beastmen in this group, most wore clothes because of the same “trouble” as Yao Yao.
No matter what species, changing living habits is because it makes life easier and better after the change.
Very clearly, clothes this thing, for most beastmen now, should be something not very useful.
But when winter comes, the beastmen should be able to feel the wonder of clothes’ existence…
If really not…
Su Ran looked up at the sky and thought seriously.
If really not, then don’t change, actually she had no reason to make the beastmen change according to human society habits.
At this moment, Su Ran watched Bai Bai, naked body with a fine figure, striding with long slender legs, carrying a wooden basin from the river beach towards here.
She raised her hand to touch the clean skin under her nose, then sniffed, walked to the stone pot, and started making fire.
Over thirty fish in total, by the time Su Ran lit the fire, scrubbed the pot, and boiled the water, had already been quickly processed by Bai Bai and the others.
Thirty fish piled up into four large wooden basins.
Su Ran took a large winnowing basket and first placed two medium-sized blue fish on it.
These two were to be used for making soup later.
For the remaining fish, she first divided one basin of fish into two basins, then coated them with wild fruit juice and salt powder, marinated for a bit, and directly put them on the campfire to roast and eat.
Now when Su Ran marinated roast meat or grilled fish and such food, the wild fruits she mostly liked to use were sour-sweet red meat fruits, plus sweet leaf vein tree leaves.
Other fruits were too sweet, and after eating roast meat coated with them for a while, it would still feel a bit cloying.
While the red meat fruits Su Ran used were mostly unripe, sour ones.
They could cut the greasiness, and when used on red-skinned pork with a slight gamey taste, even had a deodorizing effect.
And although sweet leaf vein tree leaves were sweet, they carried the unique grassy fresh scent of leaves, which was the seasoning ingredient Su Ran had liked using the most from beginning to now.
In addition, Su Ran took out three relatively large fish separately from the marinating fish, and coated them with chili fruit juice.
These were prepared for herself, Grey, and also Qing Yu and A Jin who liked spicy food.
Happy New Year everyone～(`)σ
