Chapter 150 The Kindness of 1 Thought
He Qianqian's family entertained their fox friends with freshly made fish milk yogurt, mushroom stew and barbecue, and big watermelons.
Jianze also secretly told her: From each fox spirit, only a little fox fur can be taken out in a year.
They are used to storing fox fur in their personal space, and over time, each person can only save a few kilograms.
And what was given to her was almost the total amount accumulated by all the fox orcs.
Even Gu Diao, despite all his efforts, threats and inducements over the years, still failed to obtain it.
He Qianqian was quite touched.
The fox spirit is in a state of disrepair and is short of meat. In two months, it will snow heavily.
Instead of exchanging fox fur for meat to make a living, they gave her such a precious thing.
He Qianqian said to Jianze: "This gift is too precious, and I accepted it hastily at the time.
How about we think about doing something to help the fox tribe survive the first cold season?"
Jianze said: “They joined the City of Beasts as a friendly tribe.
My father would not watch them starve to death, he would provide them with food and other supplies during the cold season.
The mermaids will catch sea and river fish to help them through the first year."
"Your father's sincerity is his, and we have to do something too.
Even if the fox tribe makes yogurt and cheese day and night, it will be difficult to get enough meat for the cold season in a short time.
I can also make soap, and I want to teach this skill to the fox tribe.
Making soap also requires oil, but the Fox Tribe is short of manpower. Do you think the Winged Tiger Tribe is willing to do the oil-pressing process?"
Jianze was pleasantly surprised and said, "Of course I am willing to do so. I couldn't ask for more.
Qianqian, are you really willing to teach the method of oil extraction to the City of Beasts?"
He Qianqian smiled and said, "You are my beastly husband. If I don't ask you to take the lead in the oil pressing business, who else can I ask?
Besides, we are one, if you benefit, our whole family will benefit.”
Jianze hugged her tightly and rubbed her cheek affectionately.
"Thank you, Qianqian. How could I be so worthy to find you as my female?"
Holding his broad shoulders, He Qianqian said: "Your luck is also my luck! I am honored to be your female.
Jianze, you have to run an iron smelting workshop and manage the oil pressing business, so you will be very busy in the future."
Thinking about not being able to take good care of the cubs and the females, Jianze frowned and became a little hesitant.
"Then me?"
He Qianqian made the decision and said, "Go to the tribe and take care of the workshop during the day, and just remember to go home at night.
If you can’t finish your work, find some helpers to do it for you.”
Jianze thought that he had quite a lot of helpers. There were hundreds of guards alone, not to mention the Snow Owl tribe and orcs from other beast tribes.
Thinking of this, he became more confident and nodded in agreement:
"Yes. No matter how busy I am during the day, I will fly back at night to be with you and the cubs."
Qianqian said: "Iron smelting and oil pressing are both extremely physically demanding and require the combined efforts of many people to complete. Only the Winged Tiger Clan has the ability to fully accept and sustain it.
Also, because the iron tools and oil used to make them are very precious, if the tribe is not strong enough, it will be easily robbed by bad beasts."
Jianze said confidently: "No one in the East Continent dares to mess with the Winged Tiger Clan now. We are lucky enough not to bully others."
He Qianqian agreed with this. Jian Yao could have wiped out the Gu Diao clan, but he didn't do so.
In his own words, he had used very tough tactics in the past when fighting for territory.
The oppressed beastmen, however, are not afraid of death at all. As long as at least one of them is alive, they will become more and more courageous and can rarely be completely defeated.
It was not until middle age that I realized I had gone in the wrong direction.
Later, he established the Council of Elders and united all the beasts to build the City of Beasts.
In just a few decades, the City of Beasts became the most powerful tribal alliance.
Jian Yu single-handedly achieved lasting peace in large areas of the Eastern Continent.
It also provides protection for many weak small tribes, giving them a chance to breathe and to give full play to their own advantages and strengths in the years to come. They can use this as a token of honor to stand tall among all the beast tribes and achieve common development.
He Qianqian thought of the Gu Diao again, and she continued to suggest:
"We have been to the cold territory of Gu Diao before. There are large tracts of pine coniferous forests in the territory. Before the heavy snow, it is the time to pick pine nuts.
You can ask the Gu Diao to collect pine nuts to replace some of the meat that needs to be offered as sacrifice.
In addition, the tea oil fruits, walnuts, walnuts, hazelnuts, etc. in the Gu Diao territory can all be collected and exchanged with the City of Beasts. These can also be used to extract oil."
After all, He Qianqian didn't want to push the Gu Diao too hard.
If they are not given a chance to survive and are forced into a dead end, it will become a time bomb sooner or later.
At that time, it becomes a premeditated trapping and killing of the Gu Diao, which, although seemingly justified, is actually a lose-lose situation.
The Gu Diao just lacks a positive leader, not all of its members are useless.
When Jianze heard these words, he looked at his female with even more admiration. There was always infinite power in her small body.
She is gentle and kind to her family, but she does not tolerate bad people. She will take action when necessary; and when she does, she will know the severity of the action and always have a kind heart.
Jianze was very happy. He must have accumulated good luck for three lifetimes to meet her.

Not long after, Ye Qianmu also returned home.
Jianze summoned the guards and He Qianqian taught them how to process tea fruit.
He also took out some simple oil pressing equipment and taught them how to press oil.
Oil pressing is actually a labor-intensive business, but orcs are extremely strong and have a lot of power.
With the addition of good oil pressing tools, the oil yield quickly reaches the standard.
Hu Ling was busy picking berries day and night. It was not until the third day that he found out that his tribesmen had given all the fox fur to He Qianqian.
And he was left out.
He immediately beat his chest and stamped his feet in frustration. How could someone have gotten there first? What should he do?
He had thought that after a while, when the time was right, he would confess his love to the little female and give her all his treasured fox furs.
Unexpectedly, my tribesmen got there first.
The fox down of the nine-tailed red fox is even rarer, and it comes in two natural colors, snow-white and golden red. The fine down is softer and denser, and you only need a little bit of it to feel warm.
I didn't expect that the people who betrayed me were actually my own people.
He was so angry that he rushed to He Qianqian's cabin.
"Qianqian, this is for you."
He Qianqian was just stunned when she saw Hu Ling taking out bags of fox fur out of thin air.
"Is this the fox fur you saved?"
"Yes. Qianqian, you are not allowed to use other people's fox fur. You must use mine. Because mine is the best."
He Qianqian's eyes flashed with surprise. This was the first time she saw fox fur of such pure and bright color.
If you knit a scarf, shawl, sweater or thin blanket, it will be a top-notch product.
But when she thought about how precious this thing was, she didn't dare to take it.
"I have a lot, why don't you keep yours?"
Hu Ling's face turned red: "How can that be? These are all left for you."
"... Or you can exchange it for meat, so you won't have to worry about food during the first cold winter."
"Qianqian, my fox fur is only for you. I won't give it to anyone else. I will try my best to ensure that my people don't go hungry."
