Beginning Backpack [Farming]

The evening wind has been infected with a biting chill, looking at the leaden sky, one knows that snowfall is imminent.The food hoarded by the tribe is about to be distributed, but due to the diversification of the division of labor this year, how to distribute it has to be considered again.

Shen Huaijin was dressed thickly under strict instructions, and sat idly under the withered peach tree, cutting out blue paper.

This blue paper was specially prepared when he made paper last time, in order to distinguish it from ordinary paper, and it was specially used to make banknotes.

The banknotes have the same specifications, and the seals are used to stamp the city wall symbolizing the Dahe Tribe, Shen Huaijin's name, and the denomination of the banknotes, so that the graphics are complex enough for counterfeiters to imitate.

Although the people of the Dahe tribe are simple and honest, and there is little stealing, there is nothing wrong with Shen Huaijin taking precautions first.

For the convenience of circulation, banknotes have three denominations of 1, 2, and 5, all of which are bilingually marked, also to prevent counterfeiting.

Shen Huaijin calculated the purchasing power of the banknotes in her mind, roughly produced a batch, and took advantage of the time when everyone was there during the day, pulled Li together, and distributed the banknotes according to the labor of each person.

Since it was still the first year of the trial period, everyone's division of labor was not thorough, so the amount of banknotes each person got was not much different.

Everyone in the tribe gathered in the square, looking at the unfamiliar "notes" in their hands, their expressions were still a little dazed, and Yin, who was in charge of the distribution of the tribe, took the lead and asked, "Jin, how should we distribute our food?"

Shen Huaijin gave Li a wink, and the latter understood, shook the white paper in his hand, and read out the rules written on it one by one with a voice like a bell.

"One coin can be exchanged for a basket of grain or two clay pots, two coins can be exchanged for a whole beast, three coins can be exchanged for a piece of cloth, six coins can be exchanged for an iron tool..."

After Li read out all the things written on the paper, Shen Huaijin added: "The things listed above are not comprehensive. They are all priced according to the amount of labor and danger. If you want to change something that is not on the list, such as You can talk about sweaters and bone tools, of course, but you have to compare these things and consider the specific pricing. If you have any uncertainties, you can consult me, including what you think is unreasonable in the above list, we can also Discuss it again and modify it if appropriate.”

Even if some orcs asked: "Jin, since the food is not distributed directly, but paper money is exchanged, what if everyone wants a certain type of food, but in the end there is not enough food?"

"This is indeed a problem." Shen Huaijin nodded in agreement with the possibility of this situation, "But, first of all, the food we harvested this time is very sufficient, unless many of you prefer something, it will cause you The situation you mentioned. Secondly, I think it’s better for everyone to choose a few more staple foods, so that they won’t get tired of eating.”

He smiled, his expression was very kind.

Everyone agreed, and Qi glanced at the orc who asked the question, and spoke very directly, "Da, it's not a problem to eat vermicelli or potatoes every day, right?"

Da scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, "Then I'm not worried."

Standing beside Shen Huaijin, Li said, "If you can't replace anything, come to us directly. We have more food, and we will try to make up for you."

As soon as these words came out, Orc Da became even more ashamed, and quickly said: "No, no, we must all eat, so many cold seasons have come, how can we choose anything."

Shen Huaijin comforted: "Da, we should have considered everything in advance, you are right."

As he said this, the redness on Da's face faded a bit.On the other hand, An on the side was a little surprised after hearing these exchange ratios, "Jin, do we still have iron tools to distribute?"

It takes a long time to make iron tools, and some of them have to be allocated to make weapons. The supply is in short supply. As usual, the tribe has no spare iron tools to share.

Shen Huaijin shook her head, "It's not our distribution, but a reference for you to buy and sell with each other. In the future, if anyone has spare iron tools at home, they can sell them to others, and the paper money they get can be used to buy other things."

"So that's the case." An seemed to understand and nodded.

Seeing his still somewhat confused expression, Shen Huaijin just smiled slightly.After all, they haven't touched currency yet, and it's normal not to understand the benefits of it. When currency circulates in the future, everyone will understand the convenience.

Li clapped his palms, attracting everyone's attention, "If there is no problem, you can pick out food. Yin, Yu, you are responsible for collecting banknotes and registering."

He paused, and then said: "There is one more thing to remind everyone that banknotes can only be issued by the Great Witch, and no counterfeiting is allowed. Violators will be expelled from the Dahe Tribe."

Everyone never and did not dare to have the idea of ​​counterfeiting banknotes, and immediately responded repeatedly.

The food was still stored in the thatched hut that had not been demolished. As soon as the words came out, Yin Heyu, who was called by name, immediately walked to the front of the house, and other members also hurried forward to exchange food, and the square suddenly became lively.

Everyone was very clear about their own needs, and reported what they wanted almost without thinking, while Yin and Yu, who were in charge, recorded and watched each other bring out food from the house.

If you bring your family with you, usually one person buys food and one person moves it back, and the food piled up in the house will soon decrease.

After half a day, there were only a dozen or so baskets of glutinous rice and a few baskets of rice scattered in the square. Presumably, everyone still felt that this kind of food that needs to be pounded before eating was troublesome.

Yang is one of the few people who didn't exchange all the banknotes for food. His food is already enough, and the remaining banknotes have other uses.

Seeing that Shen Huaijin was still staying in the square and watching the remaining people gradually leave, Yang stepped forward without hesitation, and said directly, "Jin, I want to exchange paper money for an iron knife with you."

The orcs would forge iron for Shen Huaijin in a fixed amount. Not only did he have all kinds of farm tools in his house, but also some sharp and handy weapons, which Yang had been coveting for a long time.

"Okay." Shen Huaijin said without thinking, "Follow me and get it."

The rest of the people listened with their ears open, and immediately turned their heads when they heard the words, and someone said: "Jin, can I exchange two pieces of cloth with you?"

The one who spoke was a young single orc. He had no partner and could not weave linen. He managed to get a suit of clothes before and broke them during the inspection. Now he was wearing an animal skin skirt pitifully, feeling that he was out of place.

Shen Huaijin said loudly: "OK!"

The sub-beasts would send him some linen after they used up the loom, even though he had reduced the ratio to one-tenth, and accumulated a lot of cloth over time.

The two followed Shen Huaijin and Li to the other side, exchanged six coins for what they wanted, and left happily. Shen Huaijin also took the six coins to buy the rest of the rice from Yin.

While pounding the millet shells in the wooden mortar, Shen Huaijin muttered with his hands on his hips, "I like potatoes, but I don't know that rice is precious."

Li glanced at him, restraining his nasty smile, "If they've seen you drooling and talking about rice, they probably know how precious rice is."

Shen Huaijin didn't change her head, and her backhand was an elbow, "The mouth is also very precious, you should cherish it."

The silver-haired orc pressed his thin lips tightly, expressing his absolute clarity.

The beating sound of the water hammer continued, and in this rhythm, the sky gradually darkened, and the piercing wind blew again and again, Shen Huaijin couldn't help wrapping her clothes tightly.

The lights on the other side were lit up, and everyone greeted the two of them to have a dinner together for a feast.

Shen Huaijin rubbed his cold hands, looked at Li, his eyes reflected the flickering candlelight, it was a soft and warm color.

"Let's go." He said softly, covering his mouth and nose under his collar, speaking in a muffled voice, which was extremely cute when he heard it harshly.

The silver-haired orc stretched out his arms, wrapped his rough palms around his cold hands, and passed all the warm breath over.

Where the skin sticks, there is indescribable satisfaction.

The name of Qingfeng Rice is to celebrate the harvest, but it is actually a reunion dinner made by each person with a little grain. Although everyone did not ask Shen Huaijin, the two still consciously brought the ham that was pickled last year, and walked to the other side with small steps .

Li carried the ham onto the stove, and Shen Huaijin said, "Ann, slice this ham, steam part of it, and use the rest to make soup."

Under the candlelight, the skin of the ham is yellow and bright, and the meat is even more beautiful rose red, exuding a rich aroma, which is very attractive.

Knowing that he marinated the ham and dried it in the cold, it was a pity, and said in a low voice, "Jin, if this ham is distributed to everyone, each person will only eat a few mouthfuls, why don't you keep it for yourself. "

Shen Huaijin shrank her neck, tucked the lower half of her face under her collar, her eyebrows and eyes were clear and handsome, and she smiled with a hint of tenderness, "It's okay, there is another one at home."

While speaking, a few cubs were rushing over, and grabbed Shen Huaijin, who was a little dazed from the cold, from Li's hand, and the silver-haired orc chased after him with a dark face.

The cubs ran around in the crowded crowd, and it was freezing cold, so it's no wonder they were so excited.

Seeing the chaotic crowd, the jubilant cubs, Shen Huaijin who hadn't reacted yet, and Li who was about to go berserk, An sighed helplessly, and began to cut the ham resignedly.

Beast God, I'll beat up these cubs after cooking.

In fact, Li had already taken action, snatched Shen Huaijin who was in a daze from Ling's hands, and gave these cubs a good beating by the way.

Shen Huaijin smiled sullenly, watching the frenzy in front of her eyes, until An's yelling for dinner, the "war" between big and small was barely over.

Li drove the cub aside, and then brought Shen Huaijin to the table for dinner.There are some freshly cooked dishes on the table, still steaming, and the tempting fragrance, which makes people's index fingers move.

Everyone had been hungry for a long time, and couldn't wait to move their hands. Li Ye, who was sitting next to Shen Huaijin, scooped up a bowl of stewed radish, ham and pork ribs, and handed it to him.

Shen Huaijin rubbed her hands, finally pulled off her collar, sniffed a few times, and her stomach growled immediately.

The soup was shining brightly under the candlelight, with green onions floating on top, and various nourishing ingredients lying underneath.After one bowl, the aroma is rich, warm and nourishing, making Shen Huaijin feel warm all over.

After boiling the broth for a long time, the radish inside was soft and rotten, and the ribs were so tender that they were tender. Only the ham meat was still chewy, and the salty aroma left a sweet aftertaste.

Shen Huaijin ate in silence for a long time. When she put down her chopsticks, she noticed that everyone was touching their round bellies, obviously satisfied.

Even though there was already frost outside and the chill gradually penetrated into the skin under the clothing, everyone was still reluctant to go home just like that, but sat where they were, drinking hot tea and chatting casually.

Shen Huaijin put the lower half of her face back on her collar, nestled on Li Kuanhou's shoulder, and quietly listened to everyone's chatter.

I don't know when, the whistling sound of a strange beast came from a distance, and the hand holding the cup stopped, and the surrounding became quiet, leaving only the sound of wind and howling, which continued for a long time.

The long-horned beasts that had been resting not far from the tribe seemed to be disturbed, and turned back and forth around the vicinity. After a long time, they gave a long howl in the direction of Shen Huaijin, and then slowly walked into the place where they used to sleep. cave.

The heat from his breath made Shen Huaijin's collar wet, he pulled it impatiently, and said to the people around him, "Come on, let's help the Longhorn build a cave."

The frozen atmosphere was broken at once, and everyone moved in response to the sound, got up and went to the cave, and helped the longhorns move the big rock to cover the entrance of the cave, preventing a large amount of wind and snow from pouring into the cave during the cold season.

On the way back, An walked beside Shen Huaijin, hesitated for a long time, and then seemed to mention it unintentionally, "In this bad season, even tourist merchants have never come to Shanyuan."

This year it was the turn of the Gale Field to open, and the tribes of the Linshan Plain could not go there. As usual, the merchants would travel all the way to the Linshan Plain with a large amount of supplies and stay here.

Shen Huaijin exhaled a long breath, and a white mist filled the air, making his brows and eyes hazy, and his voice was clear and light, dissolving in the mist.

"Yi is very sensitive, just wait, they must be the first to go to Linshanyuan next year."

An seemed to understand, but also didn't seem to understand, she just responded in a low voice.

Shen Huaijin patted him on the shoulder, said no more, pulled Shen Mo and followed Li beside him, and hurried back to his yard.

The two tacitly ignored the howling sound from the open field, closed the doors and windows everywhere, and after washing, they hugged each other and fell asleep.

Only the faint light of fluorite remained in the room, Shen Huaijin buried herself in the other's chest, covered her expression, and said in a muffled voice, "Good night."

"Good night."
