Chapter 146 Conquering Tiger's Might
At this moment, Huwei took his bowl and approached Zhushan, saying, "Thank you, Brother Zhushan."
"If it weren't for you, we wouldn't know what was wrong with those sick tribespeople."
Huwei's eyes were filled with apology. He had been planning to tease the beastmen of the Cangyan tribe, but he hadn't expected them to hold no grudges at all.
Zhu Shan shoveled a mouthful of rice into his bamboo bowl and said, "It's alright, just be more careful in the future."
Huwei nodded vigorously. He would go back and explain things clearly to his father and the old priest, so that all the clansmen would pay attention!
Huwei was preoccupied with something, absentmindedly picking at his slices of meat.
I didn't taste anything after the first bite.
The second bite, Tiger Might: "???"
The third bite, Tiger Might: "!!!"
The tiger immediately forgot its previous worries and began shoveling meat slices into its mouth.
With a piece of meat in his mouth, Huwei mumbled, "Brother Ju, this is delicious."
Seeing that Huwei couldn't even speak clearly, Zhushan shook his head helplessly. In his opinion, Huwei's behavior was like that of an immature cub.
He thought for a moment, then transferred some of the meat slices from his bowl into Huwei's bowl, earning him a huge starry-eyed look in return.
Tiger's Might: (?▽?)
Tiger was so moved! The beastmen of the Azure Flame Tribe are so kind! He wants to be their friend!
The big tigers didn't get much cured meat and stir-fried vegetables, so they just ate their own dried meat to finish the meal.
After the beastmen from both tribes had eaten and drunk their fill, the tigers had finished dividing up the meat.
The two tribes have completed the transaction.
Huwei scratched his head, holding up the sample of cured meat that Xiong Fei had just handed him, and looked at Xiong Fei somewhat embarrassedly, "Brother Xiong, can I trade this piece of meat with you?"
He wanted to take it back for Feng, so that his great-father and the old priest could also try it.
They had never eaten this kind of food before.
Xiong Fei thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay." Because the cured meat itself is salty and is smoked with various seasonings, Hu Wei used ten catties of fresh meat to exchange for this five-catty piece of cured meat.
However, the tiger thought it was a good deal, since the cured meat had a unique flavor and he had never eaten such delicious meat in his life.
Moreover, he had just heard Xiong Fei say that this cured meat would hardly change in taste no matter how long it was stored, unlike the animal meat they usually stored in the tribe, which would rot over time.
Huwei put the cured meat into his basket with satisfaction, and Xiongfei even taught him how to stir-fry the cured meat.
When he got back, he asked Lan to cook for them!
The two tribes of beastmen bid farewell, and Xiong Fei and his companions returned to their tribe with 210 jin of beast meat obtained effortlessly.
After unloading the meat into the special area for smoking meat, he went to the large cave to find Lin Baiyan. "Priest, we're back from our patrol."
Lin Baiyan was looking down at the stone slab. He had prepared a new test for Rabbit Forest Cat Feather and the little cubs in the tribe, and he was grading the papers now.
Cat Feather did very well; he answered all the questions correctly. He has a natural talent for calculation, so this test was no challenge for him at all.
Secondly, there's Wolf Cloud. This half-grown cub is busy with training every day, but he hasn't neglected his studies. He only got three out of thirty questions wrong.
Although Tu Lin got quite a few questions wrong, five of them, it's clear he studied diligently.
Cat Summer Wolf Rain also did a very serious job.
Lin Baiyan was initially very satisfied with what he saw, nodding repeatedly until he saw a stone slab…
Those are wolfwood scrolls.
Lin Baiyan felt his temples throbbing, his blood pressure rising, and his heart stopping.
He gripped the charcoal pencil in his hand, making a squeaking sound. That little rascal Wolfwood has really gone wild; he needs to be disciplined.
There were thirty questions on the stone slab, but only three answers were filled in, and all of them were wrong!
Hu Yue and he were like a pair of sleeping dragons and phoenix chicks. He filled in all the blanks, but only got one right!
There were also a bunch of underlings sticking to Hu Yue and Lang Mu's backs.
Lin Baiyan could only describe what he saw in four words.
No! It's unbearable to look at!
Lin Baiyan stared at the stone slab in front of him, his expression growing increasingly silent, his body surrounded by a fiery aura about to erupt.
Hearing Xiong Fei's voice, he put down the stone slab and charcoal pencil in his hand, looked up at Xiong Fei, and asked, "How's the exchange with the Silver Tiger Clan?"
I can't keep staring at the broken stone slab of wolfwood; I really can't resist looking at it anymore.
Xiong Fei didn't notice Lin Baiyan's expression; his face was filled with undisguised excitement. "It's already been exchanged! We got a total of fifty-two pieces of beast meat!"
In Xiong Fei's eyes, this was like getting free meat!
Bamboo and vines were everywhere in the forest, and they only spent a little time weaving them into baskets to get so much food!
Lin Baiyan had anticipated this, but he had only thought that these baskets would be sold at the trading market. He hadn't expected that some of them would be cleared out ahead of time.
That's good, because baskets take up a lot of space, and they're not particularly convenient to bring to the market.
"Should we send a few more tribesmen to weave baskets?" The task of border-making was initially given to Hu Jiang, but now it is mainly handled by the old beastmen such as Hou Lin, Xi Yang Mao Xu, and others.
Their main task is usually weaving baskets, while most of the familiar faces work on the meat-smoking racks, keeping an eye on the fire.
Lin Baiyan shook her head, "No need, the baskets made by Grandma Xiyang and the others are perfectly sufficient."
“Think about it, the baskets we carry are all sturdy. Each basket can last for at least two or three years. The Silver Tiger Clan bought so many, so they can last a long time. If we make too many, they will take up too much space. We only need enough for now.”
Xiong Fei's wild thoughts gradually subsided with Lin Baiyan's explanations, and he listened attentively to the priest's words.
"He was too reckless," Xiong Fei criticized himself inwardly. "The priest was thinking further ahead. Their main task right now is the house and the wall."
Lin Baiyan had already told them that building the houses before the trading market was their most important task.
Everything else is just an add-on.
Seeing that Xiong Fei had figured it out, Lin Baiyan gave him a pep talk, saying, "Once the trading market opens, our tribe won't have to worry about not being able to exchange our resources."
Xiong Fei thought about it and realized that the priest made a lot of sense; the basket was just the most inconspicuous item among the supplies.
If they really wanted to get rich quick, any one of the things in their tribe—carts, pottery, brick houses, salt—would be enough to make them live the most prosperous life they could ever have.
However, Xiong Fei also knew in his heart that these things could not be handed over easily, otherwise they might return to the embrace of the Beast God before they even became the richest orcs.
Xiong Fei isn't a stupid beast. He hasn't even begged Lu Xiao to be his partner yet; he hasn't lived enough!
