Chapter 85: Old Orcs Team Up
Li Yue and Tan Ming have known each other for decades, and this is the first time she has seen him so humble.
I have to say that Li Yue was also very relieved.
But he needed to consider more, and after thinking for a moment, he expressed his opinion:
“Chief Tan Ming, I accept your apology and will also accept the elk.
In exchange, I have a can of medicine here. You can take it back and apply it to your brothers. They will heal quickly.
I hope the injury heals quickly and doesn’t cause any damage to the relationship.”
Tan Ming was very excited and said gratefully: "Li Yue, you are still very reasonable."
Li Yan also expressed his opinion: "My Qianqian will not look for a new beast husband for the time being. If you have any ideas, please discuss it with the clan leader."
"Okay, okay." Tan Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
Charles was also a respectable orc who was good at dealing with people. How could he not know what Tan Ming was thinking?
Li Yue and Li Yan's statements made everyone look good.
Charles tried to smooth things over with a smile and sent Tan Ming and the others out of the tribe.
Then he turned around and went back to the small fenced yard.
He Qianqian just walked out: "Chief, I'm looking for you, please come in."
Charles glanced at her slightly bulging belly and smiled so hard that his eyebrows were invisible.
I secretly guessed that it must be another large litter of cubs that had escaped.
"Qianqian, when are you going to check on the fields in our tribe? The crops are growing faster and faster every day.
If you don't look at it now, it will be taller than you."
He sat happily at the stone table and gladly took the sugar water handed to him by He Qianqian.
This is something you can only drink at her house and not anywhere else.
"Grandpa Patriarch, I'll go take a look tomorrow."
"Great, you can give us some pointers, it's better than us figuring it out on our own."
He Qianqian said modestly: "It's all Lingye's ability. I'm really not as good as him."
Charles drank up the entire bamboo jar of sugar water without realizing it.
He Qianqian quickly continued drinking for him.
"You just said you were looking for me?"
"Is Granny Tao's wooden house finished?"
"It's still a little unfinished. Lingye can help me cover it when you have time."
After careful consideration, He Qianqian said frankly: "To be honest with you, Grandpa, I can actually weave straw hats.
Look at this straw hat, I made it myself.
When working in the fields, wearing a straw hat can block the sun and keep you cooler."
Charles tried to put it on his head and said curiously, "This is good. The little female won't be afraid of the sun when she wears it."
He Qianqian continued, "I want to teach the old beastmen the skills of weaving straw hats and baskets. I hope the chief can help me organize them."
"Basket? Is this a basket that only goat-like beastmen can weave?" Charles was full of surprise.
"Yes. The basket and the straw hat, the method is similar.
I felt sorry for the old beastmen, who had no hunting skills, but they could sit on wooden blocks and weave straw hats or baskets with their hands.
Straw hats and baskets can be exchanged for food."
He Qianqian thought further. After the cotton was grown, the old orcs would still be needed to spin yarn or weave cloth.
There are more than 2,000 people in the tribe, and the hunting warriors must not be diverted.
Now there are large tracts of land that need to be planted and managed, and a group of young males are needed to take charge.
Then we can only rely on the old orcs for weaving.
Females are not to be relied upon. They are either in the perinatal period, nursing or taking care of their cubs, and they are lucky enough to be able to take care of themselves.
Xia Er quickly agreed: "Qianqian, it's such a good thing, I have no reason not to agree.
When do you want them to come? I will call them.
Anyone who dares not obey you will be whipped by me personally."
He Qianqian smiled and said, "It's voluntary, not forced. My father Li Yue has already learned these skills, so just let him lead the old orcs to do it."
Charles thought for a moment and said, "Then I will send someone to find a vacant lot and build a row of bamboo sheds first.
Basket weavers now have a gathering place.”
"That's great." He Qianqian was very pleased.
Charles is indeed a man of action. For a hundred years, he has been busy working for the survival of his people.
If there is a good way to make a living, he will jump on it immediately even if he has to stay awake.
Charles thought to himself that when he had enough straw hats or baskets, he would take them to the market to exchange them himself.
I'm sure many orcs want it.
Because every big family will try its best to meet the needs of females.
The straw hat made by Qianqian is very beautiful and can also protect against sun, wind and rain.
He wanted to save face and asked for it so that he could make a straw hat for Grandma Tao.
He Qianqian added: "I will use the baskets for myself first. I will need a lot of baskets to store the harvest."
"Oh. All right. Cabbage and radish are really good stuff.
On average, each person received 300 vegetables last year, and many families have not yet finished eating them.”
During this dry season, we will plant more radishes and cabbages.
He Qianqian added: "My beast husbands will be responsible for collecting the herbs that help with pregnancy. After I prepare them, I will hand them over to Nian Nian for overall management."
Charles said, “I was just about to tell you this, we can’t let your family suffer.
Moreover, if the Rat and Pig tribes want our herbs, they will exchange them for meat.”
"Grandpa, clan leader, you can do whatever you want. Just give some meat to my family. Most importantly, leave more of the benefits to Nian Nian and my brother."
Of course family members should help each other.
He Sen is the only one left in the He family, and the family is not wealthy.
She didn't expect much in return for the prescriptions and herbs she gave to Nian Nian, but she had to give back to He Sen and Nian Nian.
Xia Er is also a perceptive person. He assured with a smile: "He Sen is now the captain of the hunting team. Nian Nian is also my great-granddaughter. Don't worry, they will both benefit."
