Stone Age Husband Raising Journal Chapter 146 – Soybean

Ch146 – Soybean

Only after they’d finished eating and gone back to their room did Zhou Ji start detailing the energy problem in Shi Li’s body to Xiong Ye.

“There’s a great many kinds of energy in Shi Li’s body, and it’s rather unnatural.” Zhou Ji summed it up like this.

“Each person only has one crystal core and should only have one kind of energy. His seems like… Could it be that he has other people’s crystal cores in his body?” Xiong Ye asked.

Zhou Ji was shocked.

Zhou Ji had been puzzled by Shi Li’s situation but hadn’t been able to come up with an explanation for it until he heard Xiong Ye’s words this time.

Shi Li… might really have done what Xiong Ye said and taken other people’s crystal cores into his own body.

If that was the case, then Xiang Tian should have been the same as well.

Zhou Ji suddenly felt a little sick.

The crystal cores in beastmen’s bodies would collapse and dissipate when they died. Wouldn’t someone have to dig out the crystal core while the other person was still alive in order to obtain it?

Zhou Ji acknowledged that he wasn’t a good person, but he also felt that using such a method to increase one’s strength wasn’t very acceptable.

If that was really the case, then for Shi Li to become a Beast King, he must have obtained someone else’s crystal core, a crystal core that could enable him to become a Beast King…

Zhou Ji suddenly thought of how Xiang Tian still hadn’t arrived to participate in the Beast God Sacrifice. Back then, it had also been Xiang Tian who had taken Shi Li away.

Did the crystal core in Shi Li’s body belong to Xiang Tian?

If that really was the case, then Xiang Tian had really brought about his own demise. He had dug out other people’s crystal cores, and as a result, his own crystal core had also become someone else’s.

In fact, Shi Li hadn’t benefitted much––with a crystal core like that, he probably didn’t dare to use it casually. In the future, he might still have problems with his crystal core.

Zhou Ji had been a little defensive against Shi Li before, but now, he didn’t feel any threat from Shi Li at all.

It was Xiong Ye who was a little disgruntled. He noticed Zhou Ji’s expression and said, “Could it be that Shi Li really did something like that? That’s too wrong.”

“Let’s stop talking about others.” Zhou Ji hugged Xiong Ye and gave him a kiss. “We’ve been on the road for the past few days and haven’t even had a chance to kiss properly…”

Zhou Ji was talking into his ear, and Xiong Ye felt that his ear was starting to heat up. His face also turned warm…

After a good night’s sleep.

Xiong Ye pulled Zhou Ji’s hand off his head and grumbled, “You haven’t turned into your animal form for me to touch at all.”

Zhou Ji rubbed his nose and no longer spoke.

He hadn’t really looked at his own animal form much either…

Today was the first day of the market.

Early the next morning, there were a lot of people outside the place where the Big Bear Tribe was staying.

In such an era, information traveled very slowly. But it was different when everyone was living together in such close proximity––by the end of last night, almost every tribe that had come to participate in the Beast God Sacrifice knew that the Big Bear Tribe had a lot of pottery.

All the tribes that could come to participate in the Beast God Sacrifice were relatively rich and had at least solved their need for food and clothing. Since that was the case, they were now looking for luxury goods and identity markers… Coincidentally, pottery played a role in this.

When the people of the Big Bear Tribe woke up, they discovered that their surroundings were full of people. These people even said one after another, “I heard that you have pottery? I want to trade for pottery.”

“I want to trade for pottery too. What kind of things do you want in return?”

“I want a pottery pot!”

……

Everyone was speaking, and Xiong Qi interrupted, “I’m sorry, we aren’t trading.”

“Why won’t you trade?” Some of the people outside were unhappy.

Xiong Qi said, “We’re using it ourselves! We can’t trade them.”

They had asked Zhou Ji yesterday about the matter of trade, wanting to know if Zhou Ji wanted to take some things out to trade with.

Zhou Ji hadn’t even hesitated before refusing.

What they had brought with them to trade for salt with the Beach Tribe was still all in their hands, and they also had some salt they had taken from the Beach Tribe. However, they didn’t have much, and everything they had on them could be used.

Since that was the case, they didn’t need to take it out to trade with others.

Of course, if he saw something he liked, he could still definitely trade some of it away.

“You have so many pottery pots, surely you can’t use them all, right?” Someone said.

“How could that be? We don’t have enough to use.” Xiong Qi said, “We can’t even let everyone eat food made with pottery pots!”

The people who wanted to trade for pottery pots: “……” Pottery pots were originally for tribal chiefs and priests to use. How could they be used for everyone?

But the Big Bear Tribe was indeed a place where everyone used them. Early in the morning, everyone woke up and began to make breakfast.

They had eaten a lot of delicious food last night, then they did it again early this morning… The people of the Big Bear Tribe were really capable!

For the average person, being able to eat two bites of last night’s leftover roasted meat was already considered pretty good!

Those people who failed to trade for pottery pots were full of criticism in their hearts and wanted to leave, but they ultimately didn’t go.

Although they couldn’t trade for pottery pots, the food that the Big Bear Tribe made was really fragrant… they all wanted to stay behind and see how they made their food.

The food that the people of the Big Bear Tribe made was actually very rough, but they had learned some ways to fry, boil, and stir-fry from Zhou Ji, so what they made was different to others.

As for Zhou Ji, the breakfast he made was really something else.

He had originally made basic congee and roasted meat, but Xiong Ye had gone out to hunt and brought back several fish that had already been washed and cleaned. So, the originally plain congee became fish congee––the fish was first boiled, then had its bones removed. The remaining fish meat was placed into the congee along with some vegetable leaves, bamboo shoots, and mushrooms. The fresh and flavorful fish congee was ready, and he then sliced up the roasted meat…

Xiong Ye ate a lot of it in one go.

The people in the Big Bear Tribe who liked to cook memorized how Zhou Ji made the food so that they could make it next time.

The Rhinoceros Beast King saw this scene and immediately said, “I want to eat that tonight. Make it for me, and I’ll go and catch you a dinosaur later!”

“And fish!” The person in charge of cooking immediately added.

“No problem!” The Rhinoceros Beast King said. Wasn’t it just catching fish… He could have others catch fish for him!

After breakfast, Zhou Ji told everyone to go out and browse as they liked. Of course, he also wanted to go out and take a look.

The Big Bear Tribe left several people behind to look after their place, and then the rest of them scattered.

The onlookers: “……” They hadn’t expected that the people of the Big Bear Tribe really didn’t plan to take out anything for trade!

Seeing that there was nobody left from the Big Bear Tribe, those people could only follow suit and depart. However, some of these people chose to follow Zhou Ji instead.

Zhou Ji was the most conspicuous amongst the entire Big Bear Tribe.

Everyone else wore animal hides, but Zhou Ji wore clothing. Not only was he very clean and tidy, also… The Rhinoceros Beast King’s father was always flattering Zhou Ji and hanging around him!

The news that Hai Feng was the Rhinoceros Beast King’s father had spread all over in a very short time. And everyone… believed it.

Zhou Ji used his spiritual powers to pay close attention to the comments of the people around him, and felt a little sympathy for the Rhinoceros Beast King.

However, although the Rhinoceros Beast King had been very grumpy about this matter at first, he had calmed down a lot now and would even bring Xi Baobei with him to join them in walking around.

The Rhinoceros Beast King: I didn’t want this either! But my son wants to go out! What can I do? Of course I have to do what he wants!

Zhou Ji walked around slowly, looking over the things that various tribes had set out as he went.

He wasn’t interested in the vast majority of the things on offer and only took a second glance at a stall that ‘sold’ clothing.

However, he wasn’t that interested.

That clothing was made of hemp, and it could be seen from a glance that it would be uncomfortable to wear. It was incomparable to the clothing he made himself, so he didn’t want it. As for the others in the tribe…

The others were accustomed to changing forms often, and clothing wouldn’t be much use to them.

Aside from clothes, he was even less interested in things like dinosaur bones, dinosaur leather, and other such things.

In fact, Zhou Ji was hoping to be able to obtain some new plant seeds, but he didn’t see anything of the sort.

He was just thinking about it when Zhou Ji suddenly noticed something––soybeans!

He actually managed to see soybeans!

Soybeans were definitely something good. They could be stewed directly with pig trotters… He could only use dinosaur feet now, but it would still be very delicious. Additionally, it could be used to make tofu, dried tofu, soy sauce…

The only regretful thing was that he didn’t know how soy sauce was made at all.

But that was alright… if nothing else, he could just slowly figure it out!

Zhou Ji pointed to a basket of soybeans that had been brought out by a small tribe and asked, “How do I trade for this?”

While Zhou Ji was shopping around in the market, many of the Beast Kings who had originally been staying over at the Beast God Temple had all come out together to the market.

The Lion Beast King had been driven out of his tribe, and the Rhinoceros Beast King had a father… There was so much interesting news, and even Beast Kings couldn’t help but want to come out and gossip.
