This was the time for the Tenglan Tribe of the Redwood Natives to have their meal.
Along the coast of South Ridge Redwood, wisps of cooking smoke rose. The elderly and women were preparing the food ingredients, deboning fish and separating the entrails to mix with bean paste and bone meal next to them as feed for their domesticated hunting and sea beasts.
The fish, along with herbs, were being stewed in a pot with some type of beans, to expel parasites and detoxify. They vigorously stirred with a ladle, and this fish-bean paste would soon be the meal for the hunters who were about to return.
Those who did not participate in combat or hunting counted themselves lucky if they got a taste of the leftover meat soup and bean paste.
Regardless, after submitting to Harrison Port, the tribe had access to clean food and better fishing tools, ensuring that no one would starve to death.
This was progress.
