Chapter 325: Primitive Tribe Chieftain Mother-in-law 45

She undoubtedly lived in the Golden Palace.

"Xing and Yue, each of you will choose a courtyard in the inner city. You can stay busy in the Dragon Palace, teach your apprentices, and study the history of the Yang tribe." Yun Xi looked at her children again and said, "You can stay near the Golden Palace now. There are houses in He, Miao, Shu, Wei, and Ya. You can choose any of them. There are plenty of houses."

"Choose a house, clean it up, and move in. If you need anything, just exchange it with others." Yun Xi entered a courtyard and inspected it. "I'll arrange for two kangs and two smokeless stoves in each courtyard. We'll still hunt together in the future, with unified arrangements. But we won't eat from the same pot anymore. The prey will be divided equally among each person, and we'll cook our own meals."

The yard is quite simple, built with a kind of golden stone, and its sturdiness is needless to say. There is a Deiro milk tree in the yard. The yard and the backyard are quite large, but there is not much furniture. There are only two rooms on the first and second floors, which are larger in area and not suitable for human habitation. They need to be carefully planned.

"it is good."

Yun Xi went to the Golden Palace, which was divided into the front hall and the back hall, each with an area of ​​300 square meters, twice as large as the clan members' houses.

Reconstruction is a big problem. Today's orcs are more accustomed to moving in human form, not in beast form. Yun Xi thought about it and realized that dividing the room into small rooms would block out too much light. The door of the back hall is the same size as the front hall, which should be for lighting. Unfortunately, there are no windows. Two symmetrical windows could be opened, and the front hall is also flooded.

"System, what material is this house made of?"

"It's gold."

"Gold? Is it real? Gold is very soft, right? It can be used to build a house?" Yun Xi poked it suspiciously, but it didn't move.

System: "The dragon race likes golden things, but gold is too soft. So, they used the power of totems to build it. Only this palace is made of real gold, and the other buildings are built with a kind of golden stone."

"Ok."

Yun Xi asked Xing to communicate with the totem spirit, and soon four large rectangular windows appeared automatically in the front and back halls. Even two smaller windows appeared high on each of the four walls. The palace suddenly became much brighter. She installed the fairy butterfly wings, perfect!

He also put the wardrobe and kang table together and placed them in the back hall, making it look like a home.

After cleaning the palace, Yun Xi went out with an axe. Since the three types of sago palm trees could not be cut down, she cut down a few unknown towering trees and put them down to dry first, as they would be used to make furniture later.

For dinner, Yun Xi took people to the lake to catch a lot of fish and shrimp and grilled them. Paired with Deilo milk, they were quite satisfied with the meal.

The flames on the torches flickered as everyone gathered in the Golden Palace.

Ying asked, "Mom, what are the arrangements for next?"

Yun Xi looked at everyone, "Do you all have your own rooms? Have you cleaned them up?"

"It's clean now." Lian said with a bright smile, "Everyone helped each other and cleared away the moss, dust, dead branches and leaves."

"That's good," Yunfeng said. "Tomorrow I'll draw a topographic map and mark your addresses. I'll also make a household registration book, which I'll give to Yuelai for statistics."

"First, the sago palms are ready to be picked, and they can be made into rice that will keep for a long time. Second, many houses in the city have collapsed, and we need people to repair and clean them up. Third, we're running low on salt, so we need to dry it. Fourth, we're running low on paper, so we need people to make it. Fifth, we can't stop hunting."

After thinking about it, there are 120 new members of the tribe, 28 babies under one year old, 12 elderly people, 20 children between 1 and 15 years old, 40 adults who can transform into bear beasts, and 20 who cannot. They need to be distributed properly.

"There's a lot to do, so let's take it one at a time. I'll divide the team up and assign everyone their own responsibilities. Ying, you take Xing, Yue, the 20 brown bear orcs, and the three falcon orcs to hunt, and get to know the surrounding terrain."

"The courtyard opposite the palace is quite large. He and Hu, take five bear beastmen who can't transform and clear it out. When you're done, come find me in the woods. From now on, that will be where the children will live. Xing, you, Cai, and Kuang Lao will take care of the children."

"Tao, Xing, Lian, the three of you take 20 bear beastmen to the beach to dry salt."

"Wolf, Tail, and Fang, take ten tribesmen who can't transform into beasts and all children over ten years old. Clean up and repair the houses in the city. Clear the streets, remove the moss and garbage. As for the collapsed houses, clear the broken bricks and stones and stack them properly. Let the Golden City be revitalized."

"I took Yun and all the remaining tribesmen to the forest to deal with the sago palm trees."

……

After the orders were given, everyone set off with full enthusiasm.

Yun asked Yun Xi curiously, "Chief, what should we do with the sago palm trees?"

The sago palm tree usually matures after 2 to 3 years of growth, and starch begins to accumulate at the base of the stem. After 6 to 8 years, a large amount of starch is stored in the stem. In the early stage of flowering, the starch storage value inside the stem reaches its peak.

Therefore, the maturity time of sago palm mainly depends on the process of starch accumulation.

Before the sago palm blooms, starch extraction is done.

The method involves felling trees, peeling off the bark, grinding the trunks with special grinding tools, and then repeatedly washing them with clean water to obtain starch. This starch is then processed through a special process to be made into rice-like grains, known as "sago."

In addition, the sago palm grows quickly, usually taking only 10 years to grow from a seedling into a tall coconut tree, but its lifespan is relatively short, usually only about 20 years.

Yun Xi briefly explained it, and Yun Qi asked, "Doesn't that mean we have to cut down the tree, so it can still survive?"

"The growth cycle of the sago palm tree is quite long. It takes more than ten years for it to bloom, and it can only be harvested once." Yun Xi shook her head. "It can't survive, but the roots will grow a new tree."

The tree came closer and asked, "Won't it take another ten years for the new sago palm trees to grow?"

"It won't take ten years, maybe seven or eight." Yun Xi said, "This is just a transition. I plan to look for rice and wheat. They have a short growth cycle and can be harvested three times a year."

"There's food like this." Shu was stunned. "Doesn't that mean we won't have to worry about food in the future?"

"That's wishful thinking. Let's find it first."

While chatting, we soon arrived at a grove of sago palm trees. Sago palm trees belong to the palm family, but the sago palm trees in the animal world are particularly thick and tall.

Everyone followed Yun Xi's instructions and removed the dense sago palm trees, leaving some for future use.

There was only one axe, so the others simply held the tree together and knocked it down. Yun Xi then used the axe to chop it off at the root.

After the tree is cut down, the bark is peeled off, the trunk is ground, and it is repeatedly washed with clean water to obtain starch water. After sedimentation, it is dried to obtain individual sago.
