Beginning Backpack [Farming]
Chapter 23
The matter of the house was going on for a while, but Shen Huaijin didn't relax.
Although the leader said that witches don't need to go out to work in the valley and can be worshiped by the tribe, Shen Huaijin is essentially a self-reliant person, so during the day he either goes to collect with Ann's team, or tinkers with some new tools in the valley, or finds repair tools. chat.
But after all, he has his own house, and he feels a little more relaxed. He can occasionally watch movies at night, all thanks to the need to go to places with poor signal in the past, so he downloaded a few classic movies on his phone.
Shen Huaijin's life is fulfilling, and Yu has always played the role of a dedicated little follower. Shen Huaijin is responsible for preparing dishes, and Shen Huaijin is responsible for sharpening knives. Although it is hard work, the smiles on his face are getting more and more.
Shen Huaijin saw that the tribe's cubs put on the straw sandals made by Yu and treated him more intimately, and felt happy for Yu.He could feel that Yu had always been a little inferior. Although Xi and Hei would try their best to take him to play, the two boys had a carefree personality after all, and Yu was more sensitive, so they always followed behind them silently.
Now that he can help Shen Huaijin with things, he can also weave straw sandals for other people in the tribe, and he has indirectly found his own value, so he gradually becomes cheerful.
Yu's Yafurong also noticed the change in Yu.
Rong's partner was injured by hunting when Yu was a child, and returned to the embrace of the beast god. After that, there were not no single orcs in the tribe who wanted to form a partner with Rong.Yu was still young at that time, and she acted a little repulsive, so Rong rejected them all, and the sub-beast alone pulled the cub to such a big size.
Because neither father nor son had the ability to hunt, they consciously ate very little. Not only was Yu taciturn, but his body was not as strong as the cubs of his time.
Rong saw the good changes in Yu's body, and was very grateful to Shen Huaijin. He not only dug up onions and garlic for him, but also kept paying attention to whether there were plants that Shen Huaijin needed when collecting.
On this day, Rong Rong found a long and round plant root with a green upper part and white lower part. The tribe had never seen this kind of plant root before, so I don't know if it can be eaten.
Rong remembered that most of the food that Shen Huaijin found were also plant roots, so he kept an eye out, pulled out a few roots of these plants, and marked the spot before returning to the tribe.
Shen Huaijin was still comparing several kinds of wood in the square, thinking about which one is suitable for making a bow and arrow.When the returning Rong took out the plant root, he cried out in surprise.
"radish!"
Rong looked at him expectantly: "Jin, do you know this plant? Can we eat it?"
Shen Huaijin nodded, how could he not know the white radish.White radish can promote digestion, relieve cough and reduce phlegm, and it can be eaten raw or cooked. There is also a folk saying "eat radish in winter and ginger in summer".
Seeing this, Rong said happily: "This is the first time the tribe has discovered this kind of plant. I thought you knew a lot, so I took it back to have a look. I didn't expect it to be edible. That would be great!"
It turned out that the tribe had never found this kind of plant before.
Shen Huaijin suddenly realized, and quickly asked: "Rong, do you still remember where you found the white radish? Are there many radishes there?"
Rong replied: "I remember the road and marked it. There is still a large piece of radish there, enough for the tribe to eat for a long time."
Hearing this, Shen Huaijin was overjoyed, "Rong, you did a great job. This radish is very precious, you can exchange it for two bone knives or two small pottery or a big pottery from me."
Ya Beast in front of him waved his hands again and again, and refused: "Jin, you don't need to give me these. You let Yu do things with you, and even taught him how to weave straw sandals. I am very grateful to you. How can I take your things again."
Shen Huaijin's face was serious, and she insisted: "This is different. I taught Yu because Yu has been helping me with things, and I gave you things because you found new plants that the tribe can eat. Speaking of which, not only do I want to give you things , I would suggest that the Horde reward you as well."
At this point, he didn't delay, and went directly to Yan to explain the matter.
Of course Yan was happy when he found out. He vaguely felt that the matter of "reward" was somewhat different from their usual way of life, but when Shen Huaijin brought it up, he felt that it should be so.
So he accepted Shen Huaijin's opinion, and rewarded Rong with two pottery bowls in the name of the tribe, and Shen Huaijin also gave Rong a large pottery pot in his own name.
After the members of the tribe learned about the "reward" mechanism, both orcs and sub-beasts were motivated to find new edible plants. Shen Huaijin also received a lot of strange things for a while, and some people even caught them. A few bugs came, making him dumbfounded.
Yan really saw this phenomenon, and he had a vague feeling in his heart, but he couldn't really feel it, so he found Shen Huaijin, and asked with some doubts: "Jin, since the 'reward' was too much, the people in the tribe Why are the orcs and sub-beasts so excited, instead of being angry that they only got two pottery bowls from the tribe?"
Shen Huaijin pondered for a moment, and explained: "Because the radish that Rong found gave the tribe an extra piece of food, he has made a great contribution to the tribe. Getting the reward will not only make the tribe members angry, but will only make other Asian beasts and orcs angry." Thinking about how to make myself contribute, and get rewards from the tribe."
He paused, and then said: "It's just like whoever does more work usually gets more food and tools; whoever does less work naturally gets more food and tools. It should be less."
Yandao: "I understand what you mean by rewards, but the tribe's food is divided equally among everyone, and there is no difference between who has more and who has less."
Shen Huaijin knew she was going to hit the point.
He crossed his fingers and said slowly: "Yan, since you also agree that the method of 'reward' is good, then the method of dividing the food I mentioned is actually the same reason, why can't we try it."
Yan shook his head, very disapproving.
"If the food cannot be distributed equally, then some cubs who lost their beast fathers and old orcs and sub-beasts will not be able to share food because they cannot work."
"The method I'm talking about is not that everyone can only eat the food they find, otherwise what's the point of the tribe? I think we can stipulate how much animal meat each orc who goes out to hunt needs to hand in, and the sub-beasts who go out to collect each Everyone needs to hand in how much fruit. All the food handed in to the tribe will be distributed equally to each tribe member, so that no cubs and old people will starve to death; and the food that is more harvested will be kept by oneself , so that it can be guaranteed that whoever works the most will get the most.”
Yan thought for a while, apparently moved by Shen Huaijin, but still hesitated.
"The tribes all eat together, and the more food will be cooked in a clay pot. It will be hard to tell who has more and who has less."
Shen Huaijin was waiting to talk about this.
He chuckled lightly, and said, "Since there is more or less food, there's no need for everyone to sit together and eat. Anyway, it's convenient to change the pottery from me. After each member gets the food he allocated, he can Start cooking with your family alone. If you want to continue eating with everyone, then put your food on the square and cook together."
Yan thought for a while and said, "Well, I'll discuss it with Da Wu first. If Da Wu agrees, this method is not impossible. But once this method is implemented, Wu's prayer will have no chance to be implemented."
"Xiu is old, he won't care about these things, but have you thought it through?"
Shen Huaijin nodded.He knew what Yan meant, and if he lost the prayer before the meal, the identity of the great witch would lose some of the mystery that the tribe members respected.But Shen Huaijin didn't intend to rely on such illusory things to establish himself.One is that he respects beliefs, and he does not intend to pretend to be such a thing without the so-called sacrificial ability; the other is that he does not want to be praised, even if it is only in a tribe with a population of more than 100.
Yan received Shen Huaijin's affirmative answer, so he went to discuss with Xiu.
Xiu Wenyan laughed, for Shen Huaijin's attempt to change the behavior of the tribe, he expected more than worried.
"Let Jin do it. Everyone can see the changes he brought to the tribe. I trust him."
That night, the leader and the great witch announced the decision.
Everyone in the tribe talked a lot, but no one really spoke out against it.After all, this decision is a good thing for both the strong and the weak who are unable to work in the tribe.
Shen Huaijin had already anticipated this reaction, and through observation, he found that the concept of "more pay for more work" already existed in the subconscious of the tribe.For example, the orc who hunted the most that day will definitely get the best and freshest piece of animal meat, while those old people who no longer participate in the work of the tribe will take the initiative to eat less food, and the food is not completely evenly distributed.
Therefore, this distribution method may make everyone feel a little uncomfortable at first, but it will never be rejected.
In the long run, tribal members are better able to appreciate the benefits.For example, those who work hard will get more of course, which will naturally stimulate everyone's enthusiasm for work; and some old and weak orcs and sub-beasts can also eat the food allocated to them in a legitimate way, so don't worry about it. Eat too much and be disgusted.
As for those members who are usually lazy, it is not easy for them to refuse. Could it be possible that they can also take the initiative to admit that they hunt/gather less food than other members?Isn't this an obvious admission that I am lazy or incompetent, so even though I feel a little upset in my heart, I dare not speak.
After dinner, the moon and stars were thin, and the tribe fell into silence.
Shen Huaijin ate a bit too much tonight. After feeding the wild birds with sweet potato skins and some wild animals as usual, she still felt a little full. Therefore, taking advantage of the moonlight, she scavenged for clay by the side of the shed and planned to burn another batch of pottery.
Shen Huaijin was about to put the washed clay on the leaves to dry, when a pair of big hands took over his work.
Looking up, it was Li.
Under the hazy moonlight, the other party's cold pool-like pupils reflected his figure, which was rare and gentle.
"Are you still working so late?"
"Eat too much, come out to digest food."
"You are looking for the leader and the great witch, and you are busy to share the food. Is it just to make delicious food for yourself?"
Li sat down beside Shen Huaijin, seemed to have thought of something, let out a chuckle, and asked, "Did you start thinking about it when you pickled tender ginger?"
Shen Huaijin said lightly: "It started with the first bird called Flower and Bird."
Li laughed louder. After laughing, he coughed twice, and when he spoke again, his tone was soft and even pleading.
"Then can I come and have dinner with you in the future?"
"Looking for..." Shen Huaijin was about to blurt out to find your family, but suddenly thought that the other party was an orphan, and it was really hurtful to say such words, so she hurriedly changed her tone and said, "You can also find me, but you have to bring your own." food."
"Of course, I will also prepare your food. I will find you whatever you want."
After finishing speaking, Li left briskly, under the moonlight, his eyes shone with a sly light.
Shen Huaijin stood where she was, scratching her hair in distress.
He didn't hate Li at first, but subconsciously wanted to avoid him, just like avoiding a ferocious dog chasing you, but in getting along, Shen Huaijin began to want to understand him and conquer him, and now he subconsciously pity him.
I really don't know what's wrong with my brain, could it be because I love "underage"?
Shen Huaijin sighed.
After coming to the Beastman Continent for so long, he hasn't had a craving for cigarettes, but now he wants to smoke one.
Although the leader said that witches don't need to go out to work in the valley and can be worshiped by the tribe, Shen Huaijin is essentially a self-reliant person, so during the day he either goes to collect with Ann's team, or tinkers with some new tools in the valley, or finds repair tools. chat.
