If wheat and rice could be grown on a large scale, they could be harvested in bulk. Then we would no longer have to live on corn oatmeal every day.
Rosalie picked the ripe crops and headed back. When she arrived, Micah had just finished cooking the pork stew and was getting ready to go to the bazaar with Elijah.
Rosalie picked up a basket filled with erratic poultry. “I’ll go too,” she said.
“The matriarch should rest at home,” Micah replied. “There’s no need for a woman to work outside. Selling pork stew is something we already know well.”
Rosalie smiled and said, “It’s fine. I’m feeling much better now. Besides, I was planning to visit the House of Delicacies anyway.”
“Alright then,” Micah agreed.
Once they entered the city, many beastmen were already waiting at Rosalie’s usual stall, bowls in hand.
When they saw her after several days away, they greeted her warmly. “Hey, Rosalie, long time
no see!”
Rosalie smiled and replied to them one by one. She stood at the stall selling for about half an hour. When there wasn’t much left, she let Micah and Elijah continue selling while she went to check out the House of Delicacies.
Not far from the stall, a beastman walking in a hurry bumped into her. He quickly apologized, but when he saw Rosalie’s face, his expression lit up.
“Lady! It’s you!”
Rosalie didn’t recognize him at all. She was sure she had never seen this beastman before, so she stayed alert.
The beastman laughed and explained, “I work at the House of Delicacies. My boss tasted your pork stew and wants to talk to you about cooperation.”
“Are you busy now? Would you have time to come with me?”
Rosalie nodded. She wanted to visit the inn anyway.
The House of Delicacies was a two-story building. Inside, there were only a few beastmen eating. The dishes on their tables were nothing more than plain roasted pork. A strong, raw pork smell filled the room.

Rosalie frowned slightly as she followed the beastman upstairs.
She stopped outside a room. From inside, she could faintly hear the sound of something being smashed, followed by sudden silence.
“Boss, she’s here,” the beastman announced.
“Come in,” a deep voice replied.
Rosalie stepped inside. A silver-haired, green-eyed beastman was sitting on a chair, smiling as he looked at her.
Rosalie was startled. It was her first time seeing such a striking beastman. His skin was pale silver, while his lips were bright red, like wild berries.
A shimmering gold chain hung at his waist. A thin, sheer fabric draped over his upper body, revealing the firm muscles beneath. His green eyes were fixed on her.
So this was a rich man, Rosalie thought. Sheer cloth like that was rare. Every beastman she had seen before wore animal hides.
She looked him over calmly. The beastman moved his lips and said, “I like you. I want you to be my matriarch.”
Rosalie’s heart jolted. What was going on? In just the past few days, people kept confessing to her one after another. Now even a stranger was saying the same thing. She was starting to feel allergic to the words “I like you.”
She forced an awkward smile. “You must be joking. I already have five husbands at home. I really can’t handle more.”
The beastman tilted his head, clearly confused. “No one ever said a woman can only have five husbands.
“Or do your beastmen lack tolerance?”
“It’s fine. Once I marry in, I won’t be jealous. I won’t make things hard for you.”
Rosalie took several steps back. Her expression turned cold.
“Stop playing with me. If you’re not interested in cooperation, I’ll leave now.”
The beastman’s light green eyes flickered, and he started to rise from his seat.
“Boss, someone is here to buy pork stew sold at the bazaar,” a servant called from the doorway.
