Chapter 2 Ogres also have cooks

Goron, shrouded in the shining halo of his younger brother and sister, had a bad life. After all, ogres with simple minds and simple personalities would not like to exclude and oppress the weak like humans. After deeming Goron as his own tribe, the ogres in the tribe would not treat him with any special eyes and attitudes. In fact, Goron didn't feel any pressure at all. There was no difference between each tribe's attitude towards him and Hakulily, and no one would be bored to compare them. From this perspective, Goron was still very lucky as an ogre.

The ogre tribal system seems crude in other intelligent races, especially the human social system, and is simply not worth mentioning, but there is still a relatively complete division of labor system. The strong ogre acts as a warrior, responsible for hunting and plundering, finding food, and protecting the entire tribe from other human races, especially the old enemy, Amazon Centaur. Hakulily has been joining the ogre robbers since she was eight years old, and of course she gets the most spoils each time.

The wisdom of the prophet Lalababu guides the entire tribe, and he himself is the only historical record and inheritor of the Black Hand tribe. Of course, when encountering an attack, his shamanic magic will use thunder and lightning to teach every idiot who dares to challenge the ogre. Although his shamanic magic level is not very high, the unparalleled abundant magic power and the double casting of the two heads are enough to make any enemy disappear in front of the Yuanzu divine power.

As for the troll witch doctor Lao Haman... Although he is not an ogre, every ogre warrior injured in robbery and fighting needs his stinky witch ointment to paralyze the pain and speed up recovery. Especially in the face of the poisonous darts and poison arrows of the old enemy Amazon Centaur, the ointment of the old troll is also the only weapon to fight against. Ogres have never been an xenophobic race. They can live in peace with any intelligent creature on the mainland, of course, except when they are hungry...

As for Xiao Gelong... this "little waste" with less than 100 kilograms of thorns cannot be lifted, and has two eyes and only one head, naturally cannot become a warrior or mage. However, he also has his own tasks and responsibilities, that is... "chef".

Speaking of "chef", we have to mention the "food" issue. This issue... In fact, even children on the Dota Continent know that as long as they are related to "humans", they are the favorite foods of ogres. This is how the name "ogres" comes from. However, although ogres like to eat advanced intelligent creatures the most (I don't know if it's because they are very stupid), ogres are basically "omnivorous creatures". Whether they are flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, any living creatures, as well as fruits, food, when they are hungry, they can even use turf, trees, or even soil as food. Ogres can be said to be the most omnivorous creature on the Dota Continent except for the soft mud monster.

But the Black Hand tribe does not have to live such miserable and pitiful days because their food sources are very rich.

The village of the Black Hand tribe is built on the endless and rich sea stone basin. There are lush tropical rainforests here. Not only are there rich species resources, there are endless wild beasts hunted and endless sea fish salvaged. It is only a few hundred kilometers away from the open trade port of "Haishiwan Fall Tide Port" with prosperous trade. Whether it is land, sea and land, or large airships carrying ships often pass here. Those traveling merchants will provide ogres, trolls, centaurs, sirens, orcs, traditional subhuman races, humanoids who rely on robbery for sufficient food and daily necessities, as well as some shining golden things and other things that don’t know what to do.

Apart from food, the ogres were not interested in the goods carried by the merchants, but there were often goblin merchants who came to the Black Hand tribe at the risk of being eaten and exchanged cheap fabrics and shoddy weapons for "garbage" that the ogres didn't need. This was also considered to be a need for each person.

However, since Goron began to serve as the chef of the Black Hand tribe and was responsible for transactions, such transactions began to change. The ogres used the looted goods to exchange materials, both in terms of quantity and grade, and the types of transaction items were also more abundant. For example... the various spices, even beauty and cosmetics that the ogres didn't need at all. But even the ogres were "little lions" so much, those goblin merchants who wanted money and life were still flocked to it, especially after Goron promised that they would not be eaten by those hungry ogre compatriots, goblin merchants would visit the Black Hand tribe almost every few days.

It's a bit far from it. In short, the Black Hand tribe's food resources are still very rich, and they can even be extravagant to "storage". Goron, even before he started to serve as a chef, was already the manager of this food storage... Well, in the eyes of other races, this position may be more called... "Prison Guard", "Breeder", or... "butcher". Because Goron needs to manage not only traditional foods such as honey melons, bananas, and other chunks of cured meat, but also a large group of humans, centaurs, orcs, and elves who are imprisoned in cave cages... As we all know, in the eyes of ogres, all "living things" are equivalent to "food".

*******************************************************************************************************************

here……

The rising sun on the coast of Haishiwan is as beautiful as dreams. When a golden warm sun slowly rises from the sea level, the warm light can quickly dispel the darkness and coldness of the night...

Goron couldn't understand why other people could not understand this beauty at all, and appreciated this vastness and magnificence. They seemed to be unwilling to care about anything other than eating and sleeping. Except for the fact that mothers and sisters could sometimes talk about this topic with Goron, Goron was a very strange guy in the eyes of other ogres.

In fact, Goron also felt that he was a little different from other ogres. Of course, it was not about his appearance, but something more essential, but he couldn't say what it was. Shaking his head, Goron walked towards the cave entrance of the mountain below the sea cliff, where he worked, which was the "kitchen" and "food pantry" of the black-handed ogre. As a rare "diligent" ogre who did not put "eating" and "sleeping" before everything else, Goron took the tasks assigned to him seriously by the tribe.

This semi-natural and semi-artificial ogre cave is very deep and long, and it is curved like a sheep's intestine. It is hard to dig hundreds of stone chambers of different sizes by strong and barbaric ogre craftsmen with brute force. In addition, the simple but sturdy thick wooden fences and heavy chains can be turned into a good stone prison. A few days ago, the Black Hand Ogre tribe just robbed a huge human slave caravan, so now more than half of the stone prisons are full.

When I pushed open the big stone door at the entrance, I could hear a miserable call for help. It was because the injury was not serious enough. There were still some physical "foods" left. After all, many people here just caught it. Now some people are full of energy and screaming. When the tribes eat together, Ge Long will naturally give priority to those who have the most voices and the most physical strength to take the knife, because managing these energetic guys is very troublesome, and they will escape if they are not careful. Although they cannot rush out of the village, it will cause a lot of trouble in the end.

The messy language of all races stirs up in the cave, which naturally makes people feel irritable and angry, but Goron is a rare clever ogre after all. He knows how to use dried seaweed to block his ears, which is a simple and effective way to reduce noise disturbances at work.

Carefully inspecting each stone prison and checking the survival status of the food is Ge Long's daily life. Those who are about to die or make a fuss are given priority to deal with the objects. These are all experiences that Ge Long gradually summarized in his work.

The ogre was never concerned about the "storage status" of "food". Just like the book "Guide to the Ogre" that King Mogar commissioned the giant demon Rafana to Goron, although the ogre looked at "eating" above everything else, it was actually not particular about "eating". Before Goron took office as a tribal chef, the cave was originally full of stench and filth. Many "foods" were dragged away and eaten after death and rotting for a long time. There were also cases where the "food" took off from the cage and gathered together to kill the guards and escaped.

However, since Goron became a chef and ingredient manager, this situation has improved significantly. As a rare ogre who cannot stand the stench, Goron completely cleaned the place with a thick cloth wrapped in his mouth and nose. Then, with the help of Hakulily and a few ogre friends, he reclassified and sorted all the ingredients. Those who were energy-strapped and broken legs were thrown into the strongest stone chamber, those who were about to die were also processed as soon as possible, etc. Although other ogres could not understand what the meaning of Goron did, they could still feel that the daily food was much more delicious than before, and it was getting better and better. Although the ogres were garbage.

You can eat anything in the garbage can, but you still have basic taste senses. Especially after Goron began to trade some robberies obtained by robbery and trade those bold goblin merchants, and obtained spices and other special supplies, the living standards of the Black Hand tribe rose sharply. And the one who was most satisfied with all this was Goron's mother, Rafana Black Hand and his sister, Lily Black Hand. Compared with Goron's craftsmanship, the foods in the past were simply rotten garbage. Before this, the giant demon even only ate some fruits and robbed human food. Goron, who obtained great recognition from his sister and mother, gradually found the value of his own existence in his work.
