Kila was quite proficient by the end of the butchering, and decided that she would get her own meat from here on. She cooked for herself previously, and now that she had ingredients, she was confident her meals would be flavorful at least. She had gotten slightly sick of bread and soup.

"Thanks for teaching me!"

"No problem little Miss, you picked it up really quickly."

"I do most things."

Kila wasted no time in gathering more animals. This time, she just put the shields around them and pushed them together. A boar area, and a deer area. She put up rock walls around the animals, a thin roof over the deer, before going a ways away.
Five trees were felled, before being turned into fence posts and slats. They would make a large fence, and she put them away. She cut seven more, making much taller posts, as well as more slats. Kila wasn't sure of the integrity of this wood, so she used some of her stones to make psuedo chicken wire fence. 

She flew around for a while before finding a cave. It was unoccupied, and outside was a large amount of grass. She set up her fences here, attaching them to the cave entrance. She shaped the entrance into a doorway, and the cave into a room. She left the cave and re-expanded her searching area, this time looking for birds. She found a bunch and collected fallen feathers. As she collected the feathers, she pulled out the remaining cloth, and merged it, turning it into giant flat pillows. She lined along the floor on separate sides, before fencing across the middle. Now the cave was separated, with the taller fence with roof on one side, and the shorter fence on the other.
Kila flew back and collected all the boar she'd trapped. She put them on the shorter side and let them out. They were aggressive for a bit, before calming down and walking around. The deer were placed on the other side, they were skittish and took much longer to calm. She left them be, and attached giant feeders along the outside edges, and water troughs were set inside. After setting this up, she went back to town. She returned to the bar and proposed a deal.

"I started a boar farm, I would be willing to provide meat from it, if I could take food scraps."

This deal was quick to make. She continued around to different restaurants until she had enough food for the animals. After that, she went for money deals. It was quite successful, as she got food for her product for free, as well as a profit, even taking her current costs into consideration.

'Now maybe mushroom growing? They pop up quickly as far as I know.'

She returned to the forest and collected rotted trees and stumps. These were moved near the animals, and she set them in rows. As before, she took a while to find the mushrooms, but once she did, she grabbed the logs they were on, and took them back. She wasn't sure how to cultivate them, but she took a mushroom from the bushel, and set it on a log. Kila decided to leave it as is for a while and see if that worked. The grass inside the deer's pen was getting sparse,so she attempted accelerating the plants growth. It worked, so she turned to the log she was beside and attempted rhe same with the mushroom. It worked too well and the entire thing was coated.

'Guess I was right then.'

She took a bushel and put it on another log, pulling some wood to hold it on. She continued in this manner, setting up the rest until all of the logs had mushrooms on them. She looked around for a moment before her stomach growled.

"I kind of want chicken, I wonder if this world has them."

Kila wasn't too keen on setting up another farm yet, so she just looked around town to find any to eat. There was a vendor selling chicken skewers, so she quickly bought three and started eating.

'Delicious... chicken is the best.'

Despite herself, she decided to farm them as well.

'Maybe I could use corn as feed? I'd have to find and then farm it as well though. I need employees or something.'
