In the end, Fu Hao Xin went out to forage some mushrooms and wild vegetables to add to the pot of soup. In any case, the Beast King had just died, so the various beasts were in turmoil, and as they had noticed while heading out to find the striped tiger, a large number of the normal grasses and vegetation were still around, and if anything more abundant due to the overhunting of the ordinary critters.
Returning with a large bundle of vegetables and mushrooms, Fu Hao Xin lightly rinsed them off and chopped them before throwing them into the pot. Going inside, Fu Hao Xin dug around in the cupboards for a moment and found an unopened pack of salt from their previous trip into town and brought it out with him.
