The other sub-beastmen nodded in agreement.
"That's right. We've heard about it, too."
"If we could buy cooked food, we wouldn't have to worry so much about preparing every meal."
"I've also heard that people in the city grow vegetables and eat them with meat. We don't know how to do that."
One of the elderly females sighed.
"We're so far behind. We don't even know many of the things that other beastmen take for granted."
As they spoke, their expressions became increasingly embarrassed.
They wanted to eat better food. They wanted to grow vegetables, gather fruits without worrying about poisoning themselves, and learn how to prepare delicious meals. They wanted to give their children a better life.
But how could they do any of that when surviving from one day to the next was already so difficult?
If someone could teach them how to grow crops, they could have vegetables to eat.
