Chapter 160 There are a lot of people here
Gong You watched Si Shuo finish eating the shredded chicken noodles, nibbling on a piece of corn, eating an egg, and drinking a glass of milk, before she asked her to follow Hang. He went out and went to various martial arts schools in Chengxi District to learn about the situation.
Ji Liang raised his eyebrows at this time and asked: "Xiao Shuoshuo, there are more than 20 three-tailed blue fox tribe members outside the door. How do you want to arrange them?"
Si Shuo was wondering just now. The conditions given are okay, but why didn't even Xiao Yuan and the other three come yesterday?
It turns out that there were too many of them, and they were all standing outside the fence waiting!
She stood at the door and looked at the blue-haired male with fox eyes. For a moment, she felt that this was not recruiting, it was clearly a talent show!
However, she also realized that it seemed a bit impractical to take care of the food by herself, so she smiled and asked: "Everyone hasn't eaten yet, right?
I'm sorry, I don't know who you are today. There will be so many friends here.
Are you all here to help my Xiao Cheng?”
Si Shuo thought about it, except for Ji Liang, the other beastmen are on duty for the whole day. Take a day off and don't hang around her all the time.
Like Xiao Cheng, he wanted to win over his tribe, so she would just teach him the art of papermaking.
Xiao Yuan stood at the front and said with some embarrassment: "Mrs. Si, Xiao Cheng said that there is a lot of work at home, so we can come and help when we have time.
We, we Are there too many people here? "
Each person will receive fifty crystal stones a month. There are twenty-five of them. Including two meals a day, wouldn't it be a monthly gift from the Yin Squadron? A waste of time?
Si Shuo smiled and nodded, "That's a lot," everyone's expressions changed slightly, especially the orcs who came later. They were so embarrassed that they almost buried their heads in their chests and dug their toes on the ground.
But her voice changed, "I may not be able to prepare meals for so many of you at home. Do you think I should bring out the crystals and you buy the ingredients to cook by yourself, or should I give you more every month? What about twenty crystal stones as food money?”
The guys were stunned for a moment, and they couldn’t react to such a surprising turn of events.
They looked at Xiao Yuan, who confirmed with red cheeks: "Mrs. Si, you are saying that you still care about our two meals, but you just changed the way?"
"Yes, our home is only such a big place, and my beastmen are already working hard enough on duty. I don't want them to cook so much food anymore.
So, you can discuss it and choose Which way?”
Naturally it’s the second one! Without thinking or discussing, they all chose the second option. They can get seventy six-level crystals every month, and they are already excited now.
They are not far from home, and they have enough to go home for dinner during their break. Twenty six-level crystals are enough for them and the little female at home to have a full meal!
Si Shuo smiled and nodded, looking sideways at Ji Liang.
The latter had already figured it out and gave each of them twenty crystal stones first. He said with a smile: "Since it is food money, naturally we will give it first, and wait until you finish a month's work. , if we are both satisfied, we will receive seventy crystal stones, fifty of which are monthly gifts, and the other twenty are next month’s meal money.”
He just said an if, naturally. There is also another situation that arises.
The big guy held his hands full of crystals, his eyes were full of the light refracted from the crystals, and he seemed to be bursting with joy.
They solemnly put the crystals into the animal skin bags they carried with them, and they had already made up their mind to continue this job even if they risked their lives. At least I can't be blamed for it.
But today is the first day, and they must be waiting for food and work.
Jiliang called Koba next door, stuffed him with spar, and asked him to go buy some food on the street to fill everyone's stomach.
Si Shuo looked at him arranging things for him and stood aside with a smile. Just thinking that he would often go out to do business in the future made him feel a little reluctant.
The males ate quickly, and when two large buckets of wild vegetable noodles and fish were put down, they were all energetic and straightened their backs, waiting for work. Si Shuo asked them to go into the small courtyard next door from the shop, while she walked through the aisle in the east wing.
As soon as she stepped into the next door, she was startled!
Xiao Cheng must have been awake most of the night. He didn't know where he knew who had wood powers nearby, so he called them out one by one and stuffed them with spar to induce seeds.
The yard is filled with all kinds of grass and trees, and there is almost no place to stand. He was really impatient, and Si Shuo was a little bit dumbfounded.
However, it can also be seen how much he wants to change the current situation of his tribe, and she is willing to fulfill this sincerity.
"Cat, if you have any questions, please tell us. It's too messy here, so don't bump into you," Zhile said with a chuckle, holding her shoulders.
Zhi Qi raised the corners of his lips on the other side, "The paper we usually write on is made of these things?" He couldn't imagine it at all.
Si Shuo nodded, took out the papermaking method he copied in animal script, handed it over and said in a low voice: "Actually, papermaking is quite simple. It just boils and beats the wood into a slurry, and then uses a fine mesh to make paper. Take it out and dry it in the sun.
As for whether it can be made into paper, and the quality of the paper, there are some tips. If we control these, we will not be afraid of them stealing the lead. ”
Several males listened attentively with solemn expressions and nodded heavily.
In the Southern Continent, there are almost no secret recipes among the orcs that cannot be revealed. Each tribe knows the same things, and at most the orcs have different dexterity levels.
But in the Central Continent, the orcs attach great importance to technology and secret recipes, and even regard them as the main source of crystal stones for the clan.
They also began to pay more attention to secret techniques, and their own things could not be learned by others.
They lowered their heads and quickly looked at the method of making paper. They asked her what they didn't understand. When they understood everything, they let her watch from the side.
Zhil arranged work according to the different abilities of the orcs.
Each orc has a clear division of labor, and they do it seriously, fearing that they will be fired if something goes wrong and lose such a high-paying job.
The branches and roots removed from trees are used as materials for burning fires. The bark and trunk are separated and paper can be made into several sizes.
After the bark, tree trunks and grass stems are cut separately, they are steamed simultaneously in six special furnaces in different proportions and types.
The cooking time is longer, and they can do other things. For example, Ji Liang and Xu Chi harvested a lot of fur last night.
The making of brushes is more demanding and requires meticulous work. It is necessary to select the hairs suitable for sharp edges from these furs. One hair needs to be combed back and forth thousands of times on the hand!
Ink's smoke refining, glue mixing, pestle pounding, etc. are all labor and technical tasks. They are also time-consuming and must be done together.
The males are all very busy, each responsible for two or three steps, and there is almost no time to spare...
Zhi Qi and Ji Liang are leading them to do work in the west courtyard. Shuo was walking slowly in the east courtyard with Zhi Le holding his waist.
She has a small frame, and now her belly is blowing up like a balloon, making her look particularly scary. Even she was a little flustered. She stipulated that she should have a certain amount of exercise every day to facilitate the birth more than ten days later.
"Zhile, have you and Zhi Qi decided what to do?" Si Shuo asked curiously, turning his head.
