Yuanyuan was already done drying Su Tang's white robe and brought it to Su Tang happily.

“Tangtang, I finished was.h.i.+ng your robe! What's that you have? It smells great!”

Su Tang took her robe and gave Yuanyuan a chestnut.

“This is called a chestnut. It's very yummy, and you can find it in the forest. Go on and try some!”

Yuanyuan instantly succ.u.mbed to the sweet, soft, and fragrant chestnut.

Yuanyuan's eyes opened wide. “It's super yummy! This is great! Why didn't we know about such delicious food?”

Su Tang covered her mouth as she laughed secretly. “Cain calls it th.o.r.n.y fruit, but in my tribe, we call it chestnut!”

Yuanyuan was stunned once more!

“Huh? Is this th.o.r.n.y fruit?”

“A young boy once got smashed by th.o.r.n.y fruit on the head and lost a lot of blood. Since we didn't have a healer, he died before long…”

“From then on, we stayed far, far away from th.o.r.n.y fruit out of fear more people would get hurt…”

Yuanyuan was particularly sad as the poor young beast she was talking about was her little brother.

Su Tang patted Yuanyuan's shoulder and said, “It's true that the thorns outside the chestnuts are dangerous, but they become less hard after they ripen and turn dark brown! Even though it hurts to get struck by one, no bleeding will occur.”

“Also, it can be stored for a long time, taste good, and make good sustenance. If you are worried about anyone getting hurt, just focus on the kids and tell them to stay away from them!”

Yuanyuan nodded distractedly.

Cain suddenly asked, “Su, can chestnuts be stored for a long time?”

Su Tang contemplated before she replied, “Uh-huh. There are few ways they can be stored long-term. In this environment, you can store them in the sand or dry them!

“For the first method, you need to pick a good spot and bury the chestnuts in the sand. As for the second method, you need to dry them before placing them in a dry and well-ventilated place.

A faint look of excitement appeared in Cain's eyes. He continued asking, “How long can they be stored? Does this apply to all other fruits as well?”

“Nope!” Su Tang promptly turned into a science teacher and shared her knowledge. “Since chestnuts are nuts, these methods work for them. They will have a shelf-life of about six months. If they are stored for too long, they will lose nutrition value!”

“By other fruits, are you talking about things like red fruit? Fresh fruit can't be stored long term, but they can be made into dried fruit or jam.”

Everyone felt moved and thrilled after they heard what Su Tang said.

Yuanyuan even shouted excitedly, “That's wonderful! If they can be stored long-term, we won't have to worry about going hungry in the cold season! None of the old beastmen will have to leave the tribe either!”

Old Nick was so excited that he tossed some unknown plants in his hands onto the ground as he trembled and wanted to hold Su Tang.

“Su Tang, please teach us how to store food. Everyone in the tribe would be grateful if you could!”

Su Tang was startled by their reaction!

In the past, the plotline of beast world stories revolved around the male and female leads' relations.h.i.+p and how the female lead fought off other women.

But judging from their reaction, it sounded like people died in the cold season.

Su Tang was a little stunned.

Fortunately, Cain was still capable of remaining calm. He stopped Old Nick's grubby hands before Old Nick touched Su Tang.
