I Became The Chief of A Primitive Village

The next morning, as usual, when Su Bai saw that the fox eared girl was not in the wooden house, he did his Daily Check In and opened the Assistance Package.

A set of clothes appeared in his hands – a casual outfit with a white top and black shorts.

[This is great.] Su Bai smiled with satisfaction. Sleeping in linen every night was not particularly comfortable. After all, the Tribe’s linen was not like the processed fabric from Earth. It was not particularly skin-friendly when worn, and rather felt a bit prickly.

However, it was bearable, certainly better than wearing Animal Hide. Of course, there was a significant difference between processed and unprocessed fabric.

Having been used to wearing processed clothes on Earth, he personally knew that kind of comfort was irreplaceable. Thus, even though he wore the linen that everyone in the Tribe desired, he still found it uncomfortable.

However, the Tribe’s people did not share the same feeling of discomfort. They all believe linen was already extremely comfortable to wear.

“I’ll wear this as pajamas at night.” Su Bai smiled, as wearing this would be better than wearing linen to sleep.

He could just change back into linen clothes when leaving the wooden house. Wearing casual clothes around would definitely cause unnecessary attention.

*Creak!* Yu Ying pushed open the wooden door carrying a wooden bucket, and softly asked, “Shaman, you’re up? Don’t you want to sleep a bit more?”

“No need, I’ve slept enough. What’s for breakfast today?” Su Bai smiled and asked.

He reached for his toothbrush and toothpaste and began brushing his teeth.

“I’ll make Wolf Tail Grass Noodle for you, with some wild chicken eggs. The chickens we’re raising have laid many eggs.” Yu Ying took out wild chicken eggs from her basket.

When she went to check on the sweet potatoes, she also checked on the wild chickens and rabbits in the wooden shed and brought back some eggs.

Now, the small farm was built next to the Tribe’s current main gate, facing the forest.

One side was for growing sweet potatoes and garlic, while the other side had a small wooden shed housing some ‘wild’ rabbits and chickens.

Since they started raising chickens, the Tribe got some eggs every day, usually used for making Wolf Tail Grass Noodles.

“Today I’ll teach you how to make fried eggs.” Su Bai said after finishing his tooth brushing routine.

“Fried eggs?” Yu Ying stood there holding two wild chicken eggs, dumbfounded.

Su Bai walked to the fire pit, placed the iron wok over it, and rubbed some fat meat around the wok to oil it.

He felt the temperature with his hand above the wok, and when it was right, he cracked a wild chicken egg into it.

*Sizzle sizzle…* The wild chicken egg fell into the wok, making sizzling sounds. In the blink of an eye, one side was fried golden, releasing a fragrant aroma.

Yu Ying sniffed eagerly, her pink eyes full of delight, “Shaman, this smells so good!”

“It’s not done yet, it’ll smell even better when it’s finished,” Su Bai smiled as he flipped the egg with his chopsticks.

*Sizzle sizzle…* The wild chicken egg was flipped over, releasing more fragrant aromas. Two minutes later, a perfect fried egg was done.

Su Bai placed the first fried egg in a ceramic bowl and immediately started on the second one.

Yu Ying was amazed by the sight of this. She covered her white hands over her mouth in surprise, “So this is a fried egg? It smells so good!”

“Try it yourself. You can make this occasionally for breakfast in the future.” Su Bai smiled.

“Okay, I’ll try.” Yu Ying was especially interested and brought over two more wild chicken eggs.

“Before frying eggs, you need to add some oil to the wok to make sure the eggs won’t stick. When one side is completely cooked, you can flip it over.” Su Bai explained.

Yu Ying listened attentively, nodding constantly, and carefully rubbed the fat meat in the wok as shown.

The fox eared girl followed Su Bai’s instructions for each step, but was somewhat hesitant with each move.

This was her first time frying eggs, so she was inevitably nervous, afraid of messing up. This made her cooking slower.

“Haha… it’s fine, you’ll get better with practice,” Su Bai laughed looking at the slightly burnt egg.

Yu Ying scratched her head and embarrassedly mumbled, “Why doesn’t it look like Shaman’s?”

“This is quite good for your first try. Start cooking the noodles for now, just put the egg on top of the noodles,” Su Bai smiled.

“Okay.” Yu Ying nodded and began making Wolf Tail Grass Noodle.

She had been making Wolf Tail Grass Noodle for a long time now, and was skilled at every step – from kneading to rolling to cutting the noodles.

Her practised movements gave her the air of a chef. With better ingredients, the food would taste even better.

“Shaman, may I come in?” Sha Lan’s gentle voice came from outside the wooden house.

“Oh yes, come in.” Su Bai responded.

As soon as Sha Lan entered, she smelled the fried eggs and her blue eyes immediately scanned around the wooden house.

Her gaze fell on the fox eared girl as she asked, “What’s that smell? It’s so fragrant!”

“Sha Lan, you’re here!” Yu Ying stood up and wiped her hands.

Sha Lan came to her senses, looking embarrassed, and said, “Good morning, Shaman.”

“You’re here so early, have you had breakfast?” Su Bai casually asked.

“Not yet. I came early because I was worried about keeping the Shaman waiting.” Sha Lan shook her head.

“Then join us,” Su Bai looked at the fox eared girl and said, “Yu Ying, make more noodles, we have four eggs anyway.”

“Right away,” Yu Ying responded immediately.

“No, no, Shaman, I can eat later when I go back…” Sha Lan shook her head repeatedly.

Su Bai smiled gently and said, “Since you’re here, just eat with us. Yu Ying would be very happy to cook for you.”

Yu Ying immediately nodded and added, “Shaman has already agreed to it, so just eat with us, Sha Lan.”

Sha Lan hesitated before nodding, “Alright, but next time I’ll eat before coming.”

“No need to worry about that.” Su Bai could not help but admire how polite and well-mannered some people in this Primitive Tribe were.

“Shaman, I’m here!” Yan Hua’s voice came from outside the wooden house.

The cow horned girl walked in cheerfully, stretching her waist with a bright smile.

“Ah’Hua is here too?” Yu Ying curiously asked.

“I saw Sha Lan looking very happy this morning but I didn’t know why. When I went to look for her, Auntie Sha Hong said she came to see the Shaman, so I came here too.” Yan Hua explained.

Sha Lan became very embarrassed and quickly denied, “No, no, how was I looking happy this morning?”

“Weren’t you? I clearly saw you looking very happy! You were even skipping as you walked!” Yan Hua said with certainty.
