Just as the wizard carrying the old duck soup left, Bai Shi stepped into the house with his hind legs, still shouting, "Yuanyuan, I'm back~"

"Come back as soon as you come back, what's the fuss about," Zhu Yuanyuan muttered in a low voice, and immediately smiled sweetly when he saw someone, "Brother Ashi, your timing is really accurate, just in time for lunch. Today you have tomato and beef pimple soup for lunch, do you like it? ?”

Shiraishi nodded heavily, "I like it."

He took the initiative to take over the task of scooping the pimple soup into the big basin.

The two of them sat opposite each other at the stone table and had lunch. Since they were not in a hurry, they chatted about handing over supplies while eating.

"It's been agreed," Shiraishi said with a smile, "Except for the old, weak, sick, disabled, and young, adult orcs will pay ten kilograms of supplies every month. They can pay whatever they have. They just have to be patient."

The tribe did not have measuring tools before. Zhu Yuanyuan felt that it was inconvenient to change things, so she made a scale in the name of the beast god. Of course, it was just an old-fashioned scale.

"Is it possible for our family to pay twenty pounds of pork?" Zhu Yuanyuan asked.

There are many mutated wild boars in the forest, and they all live in nests. Every time they encounter one, they can bring back a lot of meat. If they can't finish it, they make it into dried meat, which can be used as a food reserve or as a snack.

You'll get tired of anything if you eat too much of it, so it's good to take the opportunity to consume some.

"Sure," Baishi said with no objection, "The dried meat is very hungry, it is a good thing, and the leader will definitely be willing to have it."

Zhu Yuanyuan quickly packed out thirty kilograms of dried pork, "Hey, let's share it with Master's."

She was making a little calculation in her mind. The master had many types of meat, and pork jerky would not dominate the food. She would go get ten pounds of chicken jerky or beef jerky later.

Shiraishi didn't know someone's thoughts, so he sent the dried meat to the public storage room after eating.

The public storage room is watched by an old male flying tiger orc. Despite his age, he has a good memory. People in the tribe will never forget it once they have seen it, and they will also use some special symbols they created to keep accounts.

Bai Shi came back after delivering the dried meat, still holding three pieces of wood with strange symbols engraved on it in his hand, "This is from Grandpa Dong, saying it is a proof of delivery."

"Hey, the engraved pattern is quite beautiful," Zhu Yuanyuan's eyes lit up, she reached out to take it and looked through it carefully, "The pattern is not much different, but if you hand in something every month, will someone use the previous voucher to fool others? ?”

"No," Shiraishi shook his head and smiled, "This is this month's voucher. You have to bring it with you next month when you hand in something. It will be replaced with a different one then. The leader specially asked people to carve nine kinds of patterns on the wooden sign. It’s different every month.”

If someone is found to have failed to pay supplies on a monthly basis, the tribe will severely punish them. They will pay the supplies first, and then they will be assigned to dig coal, with three meals a day, and the mines will belong to the tribe.

This arrangement was reasonable and reasonable, and Zhu Yuanyuan had to lament that no matter how smart she was, she would not be able to get on the ranking list if she tried hard enough.

"I'll take a piece and give it to Master, lest the news gets out and he doesn't know about it and has to go and hand it over again."

"Don't worry," Bai Shi came back very thirsty after running outside. He drank a large bowl of cold water and wiped his mouth casually. "It's too hot, so we'd better wait until the sun sets soon."

Zhu Yuanyuan's lips twitched slightly, "Have you forgotten that Master lives next door to our house?"

She is not a squeamish person, and she is not a bad person even if she takes a few steps.

"It's hot when you go out," Shiraishi insisted, "We'll go later."

It was almost the same as going to play early. There was no need to argue over a small issue. Zhu Yuanyuan nodded and agreed, "Okay."

But it's not cool to stay at home on such a hot day. Even if she opens all the windows, she can't control whether it's hot or not.

Locking the door allows you to enter the space to cool down at night, but it is difficult during the day~

Shiraishi suddenly thought, "How about we go back to the old house and stay for a while?"

The tribe's location is still there and the distance is close. In recent years, many orcs have moved back to live in shady caves in the summer.

"It won't be hot for long," Zhu Yuanyuan said reluctantly, "The house has become a warehouse, and it hasn't been inhabited for a long time. Snakes, ants and insects are overflowing."

"If you don't want to go, don't go," Shiraishi didn't persuade her much. Anyway, Yuanyuan had space and it was very comfortable to sleep there at night.

As for the daytime, I was busy running around here and there, so I didn't have much time to stay at home. If it was really hot, I could sneak some ice from the space to cool down.

The plane trading shop sells everything. Zhu Yuanyuan not only found saltpeter for making ice, but also found large ice cubes put on the shelf by the host of the glacier plane.

A large piece of ice worth 1 star coin is about 1 cubic meter in size. When placed in the room, the temperature drops rapidly.

The disadvantage is that it is too conspicuous. When guests come to the door, even if it is put away in time, the low temperature will make people notice that something is wrong.

Fortunately, they all use ice in the bedroom and receive guests in the main room. They can fool them with a little effort, otherwise they would not dare to use this trick.

"It would be great if we could find saltpeter mines," Zhu Yuanyuan muttered softly, "Just like salt, everyone in the tribe can use it. If we use ice cubes, it won't be so conspicuous."

"Don't think about it," Shiraishi sighed. "If I had found it earlier, we have been running around in our spare time in the past few years, and we have never encountered it until now."

When Zhu Yuanyuan heard this, her little face wrinkled into a bitter melon, "It's nothing if you want anything, alas!"

Shiraishi looked distressed and could only suggest, "While no one is around, you can take out the ice cubes to cool down."

He has rough skin, thick flesh and is not afraid of heat, but his roundness is different.

"No need," Zhu Yuanyuan said perfunctorily, "I actually don't feel very hot. Maybe it's because my mind is calm and cool naturally."

Shiraishi, "..."

He said there was no need to take out the ice cubes, but he finally took them, not for any other reason, but mainly because Zhu Yuanyuan couldn't bear to see his companion sweating all over in the heat.

After the temperature dropped, Shiraishi sat on the kang and studied the patterns on the small wood chips. He still complained, "It's so complicated and requires nine different patterns. The person who carved the wood chips would have to be bald."

"It would be convenient if everyone could read," Zhu Yuanyuan covered her mouth and yawned.

I slept too late yesterday. Even though I slept in this morning, I was still a little sleepy in the afternoon.

"Literacy is difficult," Baishi said helplessly. "Even if you call on everyone to learn in the name of the beast god, I'm afraid not many will be willing to learn."

"Why?" Zhu Yuanyuan wondered, "Learning to read is useful, haven't you ever learned it?"

"It is indeed useful, and it is of great use," Shiraishi nodded without hesitation, "Unfortunately, I don't mean it. The leader and everyone must think it is useful. If you try hard to learn, you won't learn anything, but it will be a waste. precious time."

During the day, I was busy making a living, and at night I dragged my tired body home and just wanted to lie down on the kang early to rest. At most, the chiefs and clan elders would come to see it and would be willing to listen if they thought it was useful.

"It's okay to do it step by step," Zhu Yuanyuan said without feeling frustrated. "When the leader realizes the benefits of cognition, he will encourage everyone to learn together, especially the cubs. They are young and can learn things more easily and are much better than adults."

"It's hard to say," Shiraishi coughed lightly, "I'm not too young, so I'm not too slow in learning to read, right?"
