Chapter 396 The Goddess's Significance to the Orcs
Yu He showed Qing Fan a tearful expression, and received a halfhearted comfort from him, "It's okay, Grandma Xin will just think I did it accidentally."
Yu He: ...Could he have made this kind of thing by accident?
She was a little speechless, but when she thought that the orc who left these traces was not him, Yu He coughed lightly and said:
"Let's go in too."
Qing Fan considerately said nothing more, and the two of them followed him into the tree house next to them, one in front and the other behind.
Shushu was pouring tea for Grandma Xin. "Grandma Xin, try this. This is the tea my mother made. She said it tastes great when you steep it in hot water."
Although Shushu herself didn't quite understand, her mother said it with great confidence (in Shushu's eyes), but in fact Yu He was strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
After all, she had only drunk the finished product in modern times, and the production method was entirely based on the information she heard and saw.
So when she had nothing to do in the winter season, she failed many times before she could produce this little bit of decent tea.
And Qing Fan and Bai Lan were the only ones in the family who truly liked the tea she had worked so hard to make, and they even learned some tea-making techniques from her.
Like Yu He's other beastly husbands, Mu Fei prefers boiled water. Hei Yao doesn't reject drinking tea, but he can't say he likes it either. His attitude towards it can only be described as indifferent.
Among the three children in the family, only Shushu supports Yuhe the most. Bai Qing would rather drink boiled water than tea, and it is troublesome for him to make tea by himself. As for Chuchu, she thinks tea leaves are just weeds.
Grandma Xin took a sip and unexpectedly found that the tea was very much to her liking.
"It tastes very good. How did your mother make this tea?"
Yu He walked in and just heard this. She smiled and said, "Grandma Xin likes to drink tea? This tea is not difficult to make, but the difficult part is that this tea leaf is hard to find."
Because not all leaves can be made into tea, and even if you find the tea, different teas require different tea-making techniques to maximize the characteristics of the tea.
Otherwise, after brewing it with hot water, the taste of the tea is hard to describe.
Just like the bay leaves that some orcs like, they taste best when dried naturally and then soaked in water. If they are fried, the bay leaves will lose their original characteristics.
"How to say?"
Grandma Xin looked at her curiously.
Yu He told her in detail about his tea-frying in the cold season, "...so the leaves must be selected carefully, the kind with white hairs on the back, that is, the kind of fine hairs on the back of the leaves that can be felt when touched.
The leaf veins should be reticulate and the leaf shape should be elliptical or oval.
It is more important to pick young and fresh leaves. If you stir-fry mature and old leaves and make tea with them, the taste will be very astringent and not very good.”
"understood."
Yu He explained it in detail, and Grandma Xin had a rough idea in her mind. "When I have time, I'll ask a few orcs to pick some for me and I'll try stir-frying them myself."
Yu He still remembered that her eldest brother had said these words to her before, but he ended up frying a bunch of leaves in a pan into charcoal, and told her that frying tea was such a simple thing that he could learn it right away.
That's clearly a typical case of learning something in one ear and out the other, without using your brain at all and then failing at everything you learn.
"If Grandma Xin wants to learn how to stir-fry tea, I can show you how to stir-fry it during the few days I stay in the Qingque tribe."
It also allows her to get close to how Grandma Xin and Huanhuan get along.
"Need not."
Granny Xin refused, “I heard from Afan that you need to rest well after giving birth to the cubs.
I was just talking about tea frying. You just arrived at the Qingque tribe, so how can I let you work so hard?
You should rest more. If you can't sit still, you can ask Afan to take you around.
This is your first time in the Qingque Tribe, so there are probably many things you haven't seen before."
"That's true."
Seeing that she said so, Yu He didn't have the inclination to force herself to be a teacher, so she had to arrange a tea-frying class for Grandma Xin.
She simply followed the other person's words and continued, "The Green Bird Tribe does have many things I haven't seen before, let's not talk about anything else, just take this tree house for example.
It’s hard to find tree houses elsewhere that are built on trees with ladders and platforms, and can withstand years of wind and rain.”
Grandma Xin has lived in a tree house on a giant tree since she was born. She has long been accustomed to the admiration and praise of foreign orcs. When she heard Yu He say this, she just smiled casually.
“Then you haven’t seen any houses more beautiful than ours.
Take the E tribe, for example. Their houses are built with a combination of stone and wood, yet they are more solid and durable than those of other larger tribes. Once you walk in, you'll see houses connected by corridors, stairs, and rockery courtyards filled with flowers and plants..."
It was not the first time that Yu He heard people say that the architecture of the E tribe was extremely shocking. What she did not expect was that Qing Fan actually told her that the palace of the E tribe was built by the orcs of the E tribe for the goddess of their tribe.
After the Goddess of E entered the Goddess Temple, she was obsessed with everything about the Temple, so the E tribe mobilized the entire tribe to replicate the Temple.
"Using the entire clan's strength just to replicate the Goddess Temple? This is really..."
What a big deal!
The disbelief on Yu He's face made Grandma Xin a little puzzled.
"But it is the Goddess Temple after all. If the orcs in our tribe hadn't long been accustomed to living in tree houses, our former tribesmen would probably have wanted to build a Goddess Temple for the Goddess to live in."
Of course, it would be even better if they could gain the favor of God's messenger, but they also know that this is an impossible luxury.
It can be seen from the fact that after the E tribe built the palace, except for the goddess of that generation and her beastly husband who lived there, the messenger of God never appeared in the E tribe once. It can be seen that the messenger of God probably disdained to go to a fake goddess's palace.
Hearing this, Yu He was speechless for a moment.
Shushu suddenly interrupted and asked, "Mother, Grandma Xin, what does the Goddess Hall look like?
Is it true that the place where the God's messenger lives is as everyone says, that he lives in a big city, drinks dew, and eats all kinds of delicious high-level exotic beasts?"
Forgive me for letting most of the orcs on the continent never see what the Goddess Temple looks like, so they believe everything they hear.
Just by a few words from the goddess who walked out of the Goddess Palace, they could imagine all kinds of things that they thought were noble.
"The tribal history only records what the goddesses of each generation saw and heard in the Goddess Temple, but there is no record of the goddesses ever meeting the divine messenger."
After Yu He finished speaking, he seemed to remember something.
She suddenly discovered a shocking fact. That wasn't right. If the goddesses had never seen the messenger of God, then how did they interfere with the affairs of the continent every time they came out?
"No goddess who has entered the Goddess Temple has ever seen a divine messenger. So what's the point of a goddess entering the Goddess Temple?"
Qing Fan and Grandma Xin seemed to have not expected Yu He to ask this, and they looked at each other.
After all, there are many good things in the Goddess Temple. Isn’t the first thing that everyone wants to do when entering the Goddess Temple is to take out some good things?
"Ah He, the Goddess Temple is where the God's messenger lives. No matter what the Goddess brings out of it, it will only benefit us orcs."
The only thing that each goddess can bring out is different. Maybe some goddesses go in but don’t bring anything out because they are just staring at the scene in the Goddess Temple, or they are just looking for the messenger of God.
But even so, what she saw and heard was enough for the tribal history to record it - of course, only the events were recorded, not the people.
Yu He blinked, and at this moment he finally understood the status of the goddess in the eyes of the orcs on the mainland.
It seems that the goddess has been just a symbolic symbol from beginning to end.
Think carefully about the labels that the orcs give to the goddess:
First, the ability to reproduce, which is a symbol of the orcs' prosperity;
Second, the cubs born by the goddess will basically be blessed by God, which means that the next generation of the tribe will not be too weak;
3. Being able to enter the Goddess Temple means that the tribe has won the favor of the Beast God and the tribe can gain a good reputation;
4. The good things brought out from the Goddess Temple can benefit the tribe.
