Chapter 29 Picking Team
Okay, no need to ask, it must be delicious. Hurry up and get in line, otherwise it will be gone in the end, which would be a pity!
So, as more and more people received the stew, the queue waiting to receive the meat also became longer and longer.
Even some orcs who had already received the stew began to line up at the back of the queue. Of course, they didn't get more meat in the end.
There were more than five hundred orcs in the entire tribe, and it took a lot of time to divide the meat in three stone pots at the same time.
Almost all male orcs with partners or cubs reluctantly gave up the meat to their females and cubs after tasting the delicious stew.
After eating the stew today, the old orcs thought about the stew every day and felt that nothing they ate tasted good anymore.
Su Yu and Xia Na did not join in the fun. After all, there was still a pot of stew in the kitchen, so they would not compete with everyone else for food.
After dividing more than 500 pieces of orc meat, some minced meat and red fruits were left. The orcs who had eaten and lined up again didn’t know when they went home and got their wooden bowls, but they were surprised again. We started queuing up to share red fruits and broth.
This wave of operations made Su Yu's mouth twitch slightly, and also made those orcs who didn't make wooden bowls beat their chests!
After all the broth in the big stone pot was distributed, Mo Sang, as the tribe leader, began to speak again.
"Every beast should have eaten this stew with added ingredients by now, right? I won't say much else. For those who want to learn how to make salt, the tribe will go out to pick bitter fruits tomorrow."
"Tribal Chief, tomorrow one of my two partners will patrol and the other will hunt. I have to stay behind to look after the cub. What should I do?" a strong female holding her cub asked loudly.
“Tomorrow is the only time the tribe organizes picking bitter fruits, so, like the hunting team, one-fourth of the bitter fruits picked tomorrow will be given as a reward for the picking team, and the rest will be distributed equally among all adult orcs. "
"Why can't the cubs be divided?" asked a female with five cubs in her family.
"Why? How about we distribute it according to family? One share for each family. Do you have any opinions?" Mo Sang asked loudly.
“No objection!” The orc who was the youngest member of the family responded loudly.
"No, no, no, divide it equally among the adult orcs!" Some families with many orcs objected loudly, and at the same time looked at the female who just spoke with unkind eyes.
The female didn't expect that her words would offend so many orcs. She hugged her cub shrunken and hid among the five companions, not daring to look at the others.
Things did not delay for long because of this episode. In the end, the rule of equal distribution among adult orcs was settled, but only this time.
If someone wants to make salt in the future, they can pick it and boil it themselves, and the tribe will not participate in the distribution.
After lunch tomorrow, the orcs who want to learn how to make salt will still gather in the square, each bringing stone pots, wooden basins, water, bitter fruits and other things. Su Yu will take everyone together in the square Making salt.
After getting down to business, the eating time was already a little later than usual, and the males who had not yet eaten enough began to busy grilling meat.
Su Yu and Xia Na also left the square. They had to go back to the cave for dinner!
Back in the cave, the stew was still hot because it was simmering on the charcoal fire, so it was just right to eat.
Because she was afraid of coming back too late, when she left, Su Yu threw two crispy fruits into the stove, covered them with hot ashes, and took them out when she came back. Unexpectedly, they were also cooked!
That night, Su Yu had a bowl of stewed meat and a roasted sweet potato, and she was very satisfied.
Even Xia Na, who loves meat, praised it several times when he tasted the roasted crunchy fruit!
The next day, Xia Na did not have to go out hunting. Because Su Yu wanted to go out with the picking team, Xia Na also went out together.
When one person and one beast arrived at the entrance of the tribe where they agreed to gather, thirty or forty orcs had already arrived.
What surprised Su Yu was that besides Su Yu, the only female orcs were Mo Yun and another female named Qi Duo. It was Xia Na who saw how curious she was, so he whispered to her in private that in the Continent of Beasts, females could do nothing but give birth to cubs!
Su Yu: ...
This is a bit difficult to evaluate.
Fortunately, Xia Na explained it to her later, and Su Yu knew that because there were very few females in the Beast Continent, every tribe cherished females, so they would keep females in the tribe. protection without requiring them to do any work.
This is considered preferential treatment for females.
Of course, this does not mean that females are not allowed to do what they want to do. Most of this is based on the female's wishes.
When Su Yu heard this, he understood.
In other words, the females in the tribe today are basically unwilling to do housework or go out.
Oh, this is really a typical example of trapping oneself in one world!
The orcs waiting at the entrance greeted Xia Na and Su Yu enthusiastically when they saw them coming. Mo Yun even pulled Qi Duo directly to surround Su Yu.
"Xiao Yu'er, Xiao Yu'er, the three of us will be together soon, don't get together with them!" Mo Yun looked at the males around him with disgust and said coquettishly.
Mo Yun is twenty-eight. He has just grown up and has no partner yet. However, because the three brothers in the family are not bad at fighting, they look down on other weaker males.
This was not the first time Su Yu met Mo Yun, and she still liked this cheerful little female. When she said this, she did not refuse.
Hearing this, Mo Yun clapped his hands happily, and then introduced Qiduo next to Su Yu, and then looked at Xia Na who was standing aside.
"Brother Shana, what is this thing on your back?" Mo Yun pointed at the basket on Shana's back and asked curiously.
"This is a backpack made by Xiaoyu'er from a knotty tree. I'll try it on my back today to see if it works!" Xia Na said with a hint of pride in his tone.
"Wow, Xiao Yu'er, you are so awesome!" Mo Yun looked at Su Yu with shining eyes, and then said with a longing look on his face: "I want one of such a beautiful thing! ”
Su Yu: It’s just a backpack. I really don’t see how beautiful it is.
It’s just a backpack. Since Mo Yun wanted it, Su Yu wouldn’t be reluctant to part with it, so he smiled and said: “Okay, but you have to prepare a knotted tree. I will make one for you then. Smaller one.”
This one on Shana is really too big for a female.
Of course Mo Yun would not object.
While talking, the agreed departure time arrived, Mo Sang spoke, and the beasts began to set off.
Bitter fruits are very common, but patches of bitter fruits are not found everywhere. Su Yu estimated that the team walked for more than half an hour before they found a large number of bitter fruits in a low-lying area.
Because there were three females in the team, Mo Sang asked the males to surround this piece of bitter fruit to ensure the safety of Su Yu and the three animals.
Because Mo Yun and Mo Yun were followed by two beasts, Su Yu couldn't send bitter fruits into the space. She could only hold a small animal skin bag and try to find some other small fruits with Mo Yun and Mo Yun.
