Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Digging Potatoes in the Beast World

Lin Muyu’s eyes lit up more and more as she listened to Su Qinglan explain. The thought of tasting something new made her chest stir with excitement.

But soon, their movements caught attention.

From a little distance, the other females who had been laughing and playing noticed them crouched in the dirt. Curious, they came walking over.

One of them tilted her head. "What are you two doing? Playing in the mud?"

Lin Muyu rolled her eyes and scoffed. "Who’s playing? We’re finding food. Qinglan said these can be eaten."

With that, she bent down and started digging again, pulling out another potato as proof.

The others blinked in surprise, and then their gazes fell on the pile of dirt-covered tubers at Su Qinglan’s side.

"Eh? These... these can be eaten?"

Su Qinglan gave a calm nod and brushed soil from the potato. "En. You can roast them, boil them, or fry them. They may not look special now, but once cooked, they taste very good. You’ll know once you try."

The females’ eyes lit up instantly. After last night’s roasted meat, they already trusted Su Qinglan without question. If she said it was delicious, then it must be delicious.

They exchanged looks, and one of them clapped her hands. "Then we’ll help dig too!"

Soon, everyone starts digging for the potatoes.

It was hard work, because the soil was stubborn, and their fingers soon turned brown with dirt, but not a single one backed down. The thought of new food was enough to give them strength.

Laughter and chatter filled the clearing as they pulled potato after potato from the ground.

By the time Su Qinglan finally straightened her back, she was stunned.

The whole patch had been dug bare. The earth was overturned everywhere, and beside them lay a mountain of potatoes.

At a glance, it was at least fifteen kilograms.

Su Qinglan’s lips twitched. There was no way she could carry all of this in her hands, and the small hides they used as bags wouldn’t work either. They couldn’t hold much, and they would be ruined by the dirt.

She frowned slightly, then let her gaze sweep the forest.

Her eyes stopped on a cluster of thick vines hanging from a tree.

An idea struck her.

Walking over, she pulled the vines down and began working them with her hands. Her fingers moved quickly, twisting, looping, and tying them into a simple but sturdy pattern.

The females gathered around her curiously.

"What are you making?"

"Why are you tying those together?"

Su Qinglan didn’t answer right away. She kept weaving steadily, her movements practiced and sure. In her past life, during the apocalypse, she had made things like this countless times. With no containers, no tools, she had been forced to use whatever nature offered.

Soon, under their wide-eyed stares, a strong vine basket took shape in her hands.
