The wicked female is extremely fierce, but she's pampered by her seven beast husbands.

Chapter 262 Xiao Cai Cai
Yu Shaochen put the basket on his back in the corner, watched Ling Chengen's back as he walked towards the kitchen, and turned to Yu Heng to ask, "Why did the kitchen shed collapse?"

Yu Heng was silent for a few seconds, and Shi Panxing, who was standing next to him, said calmly, "He took something that Ling Chengen had made, accidentally set it on fire, and it collapsed the shed."

Yu Shaochen scratched the back of his head, then muttered to himself, "I left a few baskets of seeds under the kitchen shed that I hadn't had time to sort yet, I don't know if they're still there..."

Yu Heng looked somewhat embarrassed. He knew that Ling Chengen had entrusted him with the work of seed saving, breeding, and hybridization to cultivate high-yield seeds.

These seeds are crucial as they will determine the future food supply for the entire tribe.

Feeling embarrassed to stay seated any longer, he got up and headed towards the kitchen: "I'll go check. It shouldn't be burned; at most, it's just spilled."

Yu Shaochen followed, and the three of them began to clean up the destroyed kitchen.

After dismantling the roof and wooden beams, Ling Chengen planned to cut down a few more trees to build a new shed the next day. However, as soon as she finished speaking, Yu Heng reached out and pushed her out of the newly cleared space, saying in a calm voice, "With me here, would I let you go cut down more trees? Just wait."

Yu Heng casually took out a few seeds from his pocket, walked around the cleared area of ​​a dozen square meters, squatted down, knelt on one knee, and released a little bit of supernatural power from his fingertips. The seeds that had been left behind instantly took deep root in the gravel and soil.

The gnarled roots and vines grew upwards at an extremely fast speed, and they quickly intertwined with each other as Yuheng moved his fingertips.

These trees and vines didn't grow very tall, stopping at about six or seven meters.

The tree trunks and vine stems formed the pillars and walls, while the countless slender branches of the vines twisted into the sloping roof.

Ling Chengen peeked through the round rattan window, looked up at the roof, and asked, "Won't it leak when it rains?"

Yuheng pushed open the kitchen door and turned to the side, saying, "We'll find materials to redo the roof tomorrow. If it stays like this, it won't leak during light rain, but it will definitely leak during heavy rain."

“During the wheat harvest, we collected a lot of wheat straw, right? We bundled those up and piled them on the roof to secure them. As long as the pile was thick and compacted, the leaking problem could be solved.”

Ling Chengen understood what he meant and found that he really had some ingenuity and ideas in this regard. This roof design was the same as the thatched roof structure that was widely used in medieval English countryside.

However, with the Industrial Revolution and the decline of the rural economy, the number of thatched houses gradually decreased, and they later became a representative of the English country style house, and once again became a symbol of wealth and taste.

She really knew how to build this roof structure. When she was in school, she would watch some science videos during lunch and saw a blogger document the entire process of building this kind of house.

Yu Shaochen looked at the all-wood kitchen and then at the empty house: "This house has more walls than before. It's okay during the day, you can see clearly, but in the evening and early morning, the light inside is probably very poor."

"Moreover, the area around the stove needs to be re-made with mud and stones, otherwise it is easy to start a fire."

Ling Chengen nodded: "I'll take care of this. I'll go to the brick kiln tomorrow and get some bricks, and then find a few larger stone slabs. If all else fails, I'll ask an earth-element warrior for help. With some reward, I'm sure I can get them."

"We'll cook on the rocky beach outside tonight and make do for the night."

Ling Chengen glanced at Yu Heng, who was arranging the luminous plants. He was unusually meticulous, turning all the luminous plants into potted plants and then hanging them directly from the roof.

The grass he improved and cultivated is much more lush than before, with more leaves and flowers. The pitiful seedlings that looked pitiful before are now overflowing the pot.

Therefore, each pot of succulent is brighter than before.

Ling Chengen took two gas lamps from inside the cave and hung one next to the reserved stove. Light grass is not suitable to be planted next to the stove, as it is easily affected by smoke and high temperature and will wither in a few days.

"Move all these things from outside, little by little, into the kitchen. Also, set up some shelves to store things. Xiaoyu and I will prepare dinner. Don't touch the powder I left in the treehouse again!"

"Especially, you're not allowed to take it to any place with a fire source again, or I'll set you on fire next time."

Ling Chengen pointed at the person who was being difficult and threatened him a couple of times, then turned around, picked up a basket of meat and vegetables, and walked towards the open space on the rocky beach.

Yuheng curled his lip in displeasure, clicked his tongue, and said, "They really think I'm a brat!"

"If you had told me earlier, I definitely wouldn't have had this bad luck today."

Shi Panxing pushed the wheelchair slowly into the cave, turning back to say, "It's not necessarily true."

Yu Heng bent down to move the things on the ground. Looking at the clutter and garbage scattered all over the ground, he reached out and flicked out a vine, dragging Shi Panxing, who was trying to leave, over and placing a basket of potatoes on his lap.

Shi Panxing supported the bottom of the bamboo basket with his palms, gritting his teeth as he said, "Are you even human? My leg injury hasn't even healed yet, and you're already putting heavy things on my leg?"

Yu Heng had already let go of her hand and sneered, "It was just a little pressure; she won't die or be crippled."

“Others may not know about your injuries, but how could I not know?” Yuheng retorted.

"It won't leave you crippled, but it will hurt."

Shi Panxing was so angry at his sophistry that he laughed.

Although the man in front of him was his savior, after spending some time with him, he realized the man's true nature: he had no empathy, no compassion, no morals, and no martial ethics.

In short, he's a weirdo.

Yuheng urged, "Hurry up and help move it. You just can't walk, it's not like you can't use your superpowers."

"Are you going to eat dinner or not? If you don't move, you won't get any food tonight."

Shi Panxing glanced at the basket of potatoes on his chest, sighed deeply, and with a wave of his hand, the bamboo basket disappeared from his arms and reappeared in the corner of the kitchen in the blink of an eye.

Upon seeing this, Yuheng immediately stopped moving the object and stood aside with his hands on his hips to watch.

Although he knew this guy was a space-type, Shi Panxing rarely used it. To be honest, this was the first time he had seen Shi Panxing actually use his ability. It was really amazing, just like magic.

Shi Panxing moved all the things into the kitchen, parked the wheelchair at the door, and turned to say, "I've moved everything in, but you'll have to tidy up yourself. You're the one who blew up the kitchen, you can't just do nothing, can you?"

Yu Heng nodded slightly and said, "Thanks, I can handle the rest myself. You can get lost now."

Shi Panxing grabbed a small orange from the storage basket next to the wheelchair and smashed it directly on the back of his head. Then, he and his wheelchair disappeared from the spot.

Yuheng turned around and looked at the orange rolling on the ground. After a few seconds of silence, he picked up the orange, peeled it, and threw it into his mouth. As a result, his face contorted from the sourness.

After being overwhelmed by the sourness for a while, Yuheng looked at the orange peel in his hand and muttered, "No wonder I didn't eat it for so long, it was sour. This person is really shameless!"

The northern wilderness is not very suitable for growing oranges; the oranges grown here are not sweet.

The oranges from Nanbaran are still tastier. I just don't know if, with more time, we can cultivate oranges suitable for the Northern Wilderness.

……

Ling Chengen and Yu Shaochen divided the work, each processing their own ingredients. While working, Ling Chengen asked Yu Shaochen about his recent situation.

Yu Shaochen speaks relatively little, focusing mostly on listening rather than expressing himself.

After Ling Chengen noticed this situation, he began to guide him to answer questions.

Yu Shaochen speaks slowly, but not in a dragging way. Instead, he speaks softly and gently, which is very pleasant to listen to.

“After the Rainbow Velvet Fruit was harvested, I counted the quantity, and the way you divided it might not be enough,” Yu Shaochen said, peeling potatoes with his head down. “Even if we add all the Fire Crystal Cotton that was sent back a few days ago, it still won’t be enough.”

"Because the tribe has accepted too many people this year, the Yaoluo tribe alone has nearly a thousand people, not counting the rat-beastmen on the Mulan Plain."

"Although the rat-men are small in size, there are many of them. Did you see the specific number of people that came out some time ago?"

Ling Chengen nodded: "Yes, nearly 27,000."

“They have far more people than our tribe,” Yu Shaochen said worriedly. “We definitely won’t be able to distribute them this year. At most, we can just give them some to each other and let them divide it among themselves.”

"Next year, I will lead people to breed and cultivate seedlings in advance, and expand the planting area as much as possible, so that everyone in our tribe can use cotton next year."

"In addition, regarding the fabric, although we have produced a lot of cloud-patterned fabric this year, which can be made into a double layer with cotton and straw lining inside, it does have a warming effect, but it certainly does not protect against wind and snow, so the outer layer still needs to be an animal skin garment."

"Although the stuffing is somewhat useful, it probably won't survive the extreme cold."

However, it would be perfect to lay on a hay mat on a bed.

Ling Chengen sighed, "There's nothing we can do. This year's expansion is faster than we expected. Although we've prepared the resources as best we can, it's still difficult to benefit everyone. We'll prioritize the distribution to our own people first, and then distribute the remaining land to the chiefs of the various small tribes. We'll tell them how to use it, and let them decide how to allocate it themselves."

"Can you handle all the hybridization and breeding work, including the spring breeding season, by yourself?"

Ling Chengen glanced back at the kitchen: "Do you want Yuheng to help you?"

Yu Shaochen held the knife for a few seconds, blinked his round eyes, and whispered, "I'm a little too busy, but... Senior Yuheng probably wouldn't agree, would he?"

Ling Chengen snorted, "He's so idle every day. Let's find him something to do so he won't just blow up houses when he's bored."

Although they will most likely move to the city in the Mulan Plain before the snowfall.

But there's a transition period of one or two months in between.

The family only has a few rooms. After the bombing, they'll just have to sleep in the wilderness together.

Yu Shaochen nodded and said, "If you can persuade him, then it's definitely possible."

“Senior Yuheng has a more comprehensive understanding of plant habits. If he is willing to join us, that would be a great thing. I can assist him and learn a lot.”

Yu Shaochen felt a little inferior because his special ability was really not something he could show off.

I've been working hard every day for the past six months, but my superpower is still stuck at the peak of the fourth tier, and there's no sign of it advancing any further.

Chongzhen said that the improvement of superpowers is on the verge of life and death. Often, the burst of inspiration and enlightenment in that instant can help him overcome the hurdle in one fell swoop.

But Yu Shaochen felt that this method was simply unrealistic for him.

First of all, he is basically incapable of fighting.

Even eight-year-old Ling Xiaoxi, if they really got into a fight, he might not be able to beat him.

Despite her young age, Ling Xiaoxi's bloodline as a giant tiger of the Boshan Mountain is no joke. Her physical reflexes and fighting instincts are innate. After a few rounds, Ling Xiaoxi can pin him down, jump onto his back, and make him unable to get up.

Don't ask him why he's so certain this is the outcome.

Because if you talk about it too much, it will only bring tears.

He was eager to break through, but Chongzhen and Suwei were far more powerful than him, so they were not suitable as opponents. After Ling Xiaoxi saw him secretly practicing, the little guy became eager to try and expressed his desire to spar with him.

Yu Shaochen initially thought that as an ambitious orc who was about to come of age, no matter how useless or doomed he was, he should still be able to deal with an eight-year-old cub!
The result? Hehe—

He fought until he was on the verge of death, and then achieved a breakthrough.

Yu Shaochen was very self-aware; he probably couldn't comprehend this kind of suicidal behavior, but it would definitely cost him his life.

After listening, Ling Chengen disagreed with his statement, saying only, "You don't need to belittle yourself. You and Yuheng each have your own strengths. In terms of breeding... he may not be as good as you. He probably doesn't have that much patience for such tedious and time-consuming work."

“Your personality is more down-to-earth, and you are also more meticulous and cautious. I am at ease entrusting the breeding work to you.”

"This task is crucial to the tribe's future food and cotton supply. You must firmly believe that your importance is irreplaceable, so just do it with confidence."

Upon hearing this, Yu Shaochen suddenly raised his head, his round eyes staring at Ling Chengen's profile for a long time, a light seemingly igniting within them.

He pursed his lips and didn't speak, but the subtle glint in his eyes revealed his inner joy.

Is he also irreplaceable?
The wife is very good at talking.

Ling Chengen swept the chopped vegetables from the cutting board directly into the bamboo drain basket with a cleaver, then turned around and asked, "Have you peeled all the potatoes?"

Yu Shaochen looked down at the potato in front of him, which was still half unpeeled. His fair face instantly turned red, and he nervously stammered, "It's...it's not..."

Ling Chengen squatted down opposite him with a kitchen knife in hand, picked up a potato from the basket, peeled it in a few quick strokes, tossed it into a wooden basin filled with water, and then coldly and ruthlessly began peeling the next one.

Yu Shaochen quickly tried to catch up with her, whispering, "I'm sorry, I'll work faster next time..."

Ling Chengen asked, puzzled, "Why apologize for something so trivial?"

If Yuheng had to apologize for every trivial matter, he should kneel on a durian until it's worn out.
