Chapter 600: Chapter 603: Eating Grass, Producing Milk
Qiu Mo also came panting, her face filled with anxiety, "Tangtang, you ran so fast, I couldn’t catch up to you. Do you recognize those wild beasts? They look so terrifying..."
As Qiu Mo was speaking, Yadang and Xi Ye arrived, dragging the sleeping Beastman along.
Seeing everyone’s worried looks, Su Tang felt remorse.
"I’m sorry for making you worry. I’m fine. I just saw something very familiar, so I got a bit excited... I won’t behave like this again in the future, I’m sorry..."
Yadang sighed with relief and ruffled Su Tang’s hair, "It’s okay, just don’t do this again, we are all worried about you."
Su Tang nodded quickly.
"Uh-huh!"
"Tangtang, have you seen that strange looking wild beast? What’s its name? Does it taste good?"
Qiu Mo curiously blinked her eyes, staring fixedly at the herd of cattle in the distance.
Suddenly, a smaller calf ran out from the herd and went straight to a large ox, raising its head to a pink lump of flesh. The Ox remained still, letting it latch on.
Qiu Mo pointed at the ox and exclaimed curiously, "Wow, is that little creature nursing?"
Gaiyin followed Qiu Mo’s pointing finger, and ended up looking at that lump of flesh he found quite puzzling.
Immediately, a line of embarrassment crossed his face: ...
Su Tang didn’t notice Gaiyin’s strange expression, and excitedly nodded her head, "Yes, yes! I don’t know what people here call them, but I refer to them as milk cows because they can be milked to yield a lot of milk!"
Qiu Mo was instantly attracted by Su Tang’s words, "Milk? Does it taste good?"
Su Tang smiled, "Milk isn’t for eating. It’s for drinking. Its taste and nutritional value are both exceptionally good! Milk can be used to make many delicious things, like cakes, cookies, and so on."
"You don’t know, but cakes are really, really tasty! They’re soft and moist, and their flavor is enhanced by the addition of milk. They’re sweet and melt in the mouth! They are incomparably better than Mantou; actually, they’re not even on the same level! There’s simply no comparison!"
Qiu Mo, who was obviously a foodie, listened to Su Tang’s description and was now absolutely tantalized, but she couldn’t have any at the moment. She was almost salivating!
She had initially thought that those cattle were ugly, but knowing that their milk could be used to make delicious cakes, Qiu Mo suddenly felt that the cattle didn’t look that bad; they were somewhat cute.
Su Tang then continued to enlighten everyone about the benefits of cows, "Look how amazing these cows are! They eat grass, but yield milk. Even their poop can be used as fertilizer! As for us, we’re simply poop production machines!"
"Furthermore, Oxen are strong and mild-mannered. They can help with ploughing and doing chores. When they can no longer produce milk or don’t have the strength, they can be slaughtered for their meat. Their hide can be used to make clothes after it’s been treated. In summary, every part of a cow is a treasure!"
When Su Tang got to the exciting part, she was brimming with joy, praising the cows in front of her to the point of near hyperbole!
Although she had never seen a cow ploughing, she knew that oxen could and since they were of the same species, cows should be able to plough as well.
However, since Beastmen in the Beast World could transform, it seems they didn’t really need cows. Their beast transformations made them more efficient than any ox when it came to ploughing.
Ignoring the ploughing aspect, the mere fact that these cows could produce milk was enough for Su Tang to be excited to the point of squealing!
