Chapter 84 Starch Workshop

Listening blankly to Leyou's seemingly genuine complaints, Lezhi felt a mix of comfort and amusement. He genuinely believed that the tribespeople weren't particularly receptive to his cooking. The only time they came to him in a group was when he made starch; otherwise, apart from Leyou occasionally coming over for a meal, no one else had ever made a special trip to his door.

Wait, that's not right. Come to think of it, every time he treated a member of the tribe, he would also provide a meal, and the tribe members seemed especially happy then. He used to think it was because their illnesses were cured that they were so happy, but now it seems, it might actually be because of that meal.

A glint of light flashed in Lezhi's eyes as she remembered something else, "Then, about the planting I mentioned before..."

"Oh, the clan chief already knew about that." Leyou rubbed his nose. Needless to say, he was the one who informed on them. "Actually, many people in the clan are now following your example and have gone to find the Earth Branch Vine to try planting it. You didn't visit other clan members, so you didn't know."

"You remember Le Ting, right?" Seeing Le Zhi nod, Le You continued with an admiring tone, "He's the most passionate about planting. Even Le Yun doesn't grow as well as him. I'll take you to Le Ting's house sometime. Although his farm isn't as large as yours, it's definitely the most successful in the clan besides you."

"Sigh, I'm not so lucky. So far, I've only managed to grow a little bit of chili leaves. I still have a long way to go."

A soft "pfft" escaped Le You's lips as she chuckled, "I didn't know any of that."

Turning to look at Lezhi, Leyou shrugged, "There's nothing we can do. The clan leader said not to put too much pressure on you. He said he was afraid that if you get too much attention from the clan, you'll feel uncomfortable."

That's true," Lezhi nodded, indicating that he understood. He hadn't expected that in just a few short interactions with Lechu, Lechu would so keenly perceive the essence of his personality; he really didn't like being the center of attention.

Blinking, Lezhi noticed that Lei Xiu gently grasped his wrist, and smiled slightly, "Yes, I know, the clan leader is doing this for my own good."

During their conversation, they had unknowingly arrived at their destination. From afar, Lezhi could see Lechu and Lezhong waiting in front of the door.

"Clan leader, Uncle Le Zhong."

Walking quickly forward, Lezhi and Leyou hurried up to greet them, and Lei Xiu followed closely behind, nodding as if to acknowledge their greeting.

"You've arrived at just the right time. Le Zhong just delivered the machine. Let's go in." Le Chu nodded to Lei Xiu in greeting without making a sound, and said gently.

Following Le Zhong, the group entered the workshop, which, although temporarily cordoned off, already looked quite well-organized. In addition to an indoor space, the workshop also had a large flat area for drying clothes.

The location and tools are provided by the tribe. Apart from the collective use of resources within the tribe each time, if an individual wants to use them, they only need to apply to the tribe and pay a small amount of resources to use them.

Upon arriving at the workshop, Lezhi saw the grinder that Lezhong had made based on his description. The machine itself was very simple in principle and had many similarities with a mixer, so Lezhong was not stuck for long and made the finished product.

He had already tried it out himself, and he specifically asked Lezhi to come this time so that he could see if there was anything that needed improvement.

As a general who only knew how to talk the talk, Lezhi naturally wouldn't point fingers at the professionals. When he saw Lezhong start the machine, put the raw materials in the inlet and add water, and almost simultaneously, the sloping outlet produced powdered residue, Lezhi's expression of surprise was no less than that of Leyou, who was seeing it for the first time.

“My mother tree, this is much faster than a stone mill.” Leyou’s words were what everyone else present wanted to say.

Under the admiring gazes of the crowd, Le Zhong smiled confidently, "It's nothing special. The idea was actually proposed by Le Zhizai. I was just responsible for turning his idea into reality. The principle is actually just that. Once you understand it, it's not difficult at all."

Although Le Zhong was being modest, it still made everyone feel a little uncomfortable. How could his claim that it was not difficult be so unbelievable?

Even Lezhi, who is a provider of creative ideas, feels looked down upon by top students, let alone others.

With the machine in place and the energy problem about to be solved, Le Chu was in a great mood. "Alright, Le Zhi, we think this machine is basically working fine. What about yours?"

He quickly shook his head. "I also think it's fine. Uncle Le Zhong did even better than I said." This was Le Zhi's true feeling. He really admired Le Zhong. He was quick-witted and agile. Now that he had recovered, his skills had gradually returned. He was a person with almost no weaknesses and was excellent in every aspect.

“Alright, in that case, our starch workshop can open at a later date. The hunting competition is coming up soon, so the clan can expedite the production of a batch of starch and the vermicelli that Lezhizai made before. We can sell it as a specialty of our Lingyu clan at the hunting competition.”

The matter of vermicelli was brought up by Lezhi during his visit to Lechu. While there are many ways to eat starch, most of them require some cooking techniques. However, if they could add an extra step to make vermicelli, this easy-to-cook and easy-to-preserve semi-finished product would obviously be more acceptable to people.

On the other side of the starch workshop is the vermicelli workshop, where stoves and pressing machines have already been set up. Between the two workshops is a large drying area, and the layout of the two workshops is clearly carefully designed.

After inspecting the machines, there was basically nothing left for Lezhi to do. Leyou took this opportunity to inform Lechu about their plan to attend the hunting tournament.

“Lezhi wants to go too.” After hearing Leyou’s plan, Lechu asked Lezhi for his opinion. After seeing Lezhi nod in agreement, he pondered for a while and said, “It’s possible. I’ll make the arrangements. You’ll need a fur ball to get around, and you can’t leave the group. I’ll arrange that.”

Just as Le You had said, Le Chu's attitude did not prevent Le Zhi from leaving the clan. Now that she had received the clan leader's approval, Le Zhi was relieved of her worries.

"Thank you, Chieftain. I will try my best to get along with Maoqiu in the near future and try not to cause too much trouble for everyone." Lezhi pursed her lips and smiled as she assured Lechu.

"Okay, good girl. By the way, about Lei Xiu..."

"I will stay by Lezhi's side. You don't need to worry about me. I will adapt to the situation on my own."

The fact that Lei Xiu could say such a thing shows that he has absolute confidence in his abilities and that no matter how the Lingyu Clan's formation changes, it will not affect his performance.

As the former number one of the Thunder Clan, Le Chu was not surprised that Lei Xiu would make such a statement, and he truly believed that Lei Xiu was capable of doing so.

"Okay, I understand. I'll give the instructions when the time comes."

As the two younger members of the family, they had no room to interrupt the conversation between the adults. All they knew was that the trip was a done deal, and they were incredibly excited about it.

Unable to stay put, Leyou was eager to set off and gather her friends to tell them the good news. Seeing this, Lezhi didn't insist. She pulled Leixiu aside to say goodbye to Lechu and Lezhong, preparing to keep her promise and take Maoqiu for some training.
