【Quick Wear】My Years as a Mother-in-law

Chapter 311: Primitive Tribe Chieftain Mother-in-law 31

As soon as their clothes were dry, the children couldn't wait to put on their colorful new clothes. Yun Xi carried the one-year-old Xue Jiu to Bing and said, "From now on, you can play with your brother and don't go out."

Bing looked at Xuejiu, who had a runny nose, with disdain. When no one was paying attention, he took out a linen handkerchief to wipe Xuejiu's nose. Xuejiu smiled foolishly.

"Here, these are wild grapes, you can eat them."

Xue Jiu's eyes lit up and he picked up the grapes and ate them one by one.

Bingliu is a child of medium age, just over three years old, and is trying hard to integrate into the group of his older brothers and sisters.

"After eating and resting, another day has passed."

Seeing that dusk was approaching, Yun Xi called the children who had been playing wildly to go back for dinner. Today, Ying and Lang were responsible for cooking, and she only went into the kitchen to cook occasionally, so she was not included in the cooking duty roster. The three children, Bing, Bingliu and Xuejiu were not included either. They were too young, how could they cook?

"Mom, dinner tonight is seafood soup and steamed yam."

"Okay, after dinner, Yue, grind some raw pumpkin seeds for Xueqing and the others to eat."

"Okay." Yue smiled secretly and looked at the new member meaningfully.

On rest days, the meals were not so rich, and the main purpose was to fill the stomach. Moreover, everyone did not exert much physical energy, so most people took out the animal skins to wash.

This is especially true for the new tribesmen. Although they have furs of snow wolves and ice bears to keep them warm in winter, according to the inherited knowledge, their ancestors lived in a world with only one sun and one moon, so this winter may be very cold. For this reason, the tribe gave each of them five animal skins. The animal skins obtained by all ten people combined can make one piece of clothing and two quilts for each person, which should be enough.

"I've been hunting iron-thorn red bulls recently. Once the iron-thorn red bulls leave, I'll go hunting rabbits, wild deer, wild sheep, etc. If I encounter wolves and tigers, I'll try to fight them back. I'll distribute animal skins again before winter comes." Yun Xi explained while eating.

Xing said: "The tribe originally had a lot of animal skins, and the number of people in the tribe has increased. I never thought that there would be a day when there would not be enough."

Xue Qing said distressedly, "My original tribe had a lot of animal skins, fish skins, bear skins, wolf skins, elk skins, etc. Unfortunately, I was in such a hurry that I didn't have time to take them all. I only took two with me in a hurry."

Xuelian said softly, "Now that we have linen clothes, we can use the animal skins we wear to make quilts."

"Lian'er is right," Bingyu shouted. "At worst, we can look for traces of the wolves. Wolf skins are good too. Besides, if there are wolves around, the children will be very unsafe!"

Yun Xi was caught off guard. These people had such big appetites that they even wanted to hunt wolves?

"Then you better think about it carefully." Lian reminded: "I saw traces of wolves from a distance a few days ago. They were very big, about the same size as my beast form."

"It's so big now, Lian! Do you think the wolves are going to approach the tribe?" Yun Xi quickly stopped their wild thoughts and said, "Don't provoke the wolves without full preparation."

Lian shook her head. "I saw it in the southeast. The wolves are heading south to hunt. The resources in the south should be abundant."

"That's right. Wu said that several tribes migrated south. We haven't had any new neighbors around us for a long time, so they must have moved further south." Yun Xi breathed a sigh of relief and turned to the children, saying, "Be careful on weekdays and don't let them get taken away by wolves."

"it is good."

The following days were dull yet exciting. Yun Xi followed the Iron-thorn Red Bull herd to the southwest and used a strategy to separate five bulls. After making sure that the five bulls had left the main group, she led her people forward to fight with them. After transforming into beasts, everyone's teeth were exceptionally sharp. Guoluo sat on a big tree, always paying attention to the surrounding situation. Lian raised her horns to hit the bulls, and Shan jumped around in his snow-white clothes, looking very cute, which easily made the Iron-thorn Red Bulls let down their guard. As for the dragons, tigers, snow wolves and ice bears, they were responsible for the frontal battle, which also made the battle end quickly.

Tao cheered, "This method really works! So much meat!"

Yun Xi touched her nose. An Ironthorn Red Bull weighs about five tons, or 5,000 kilograms, or about 10,000 jin. Five bulls weigh 50,000 jin, and the meat yield is 50%, which means 25,000 jin of meat can be produced. 30% of it can be made into jerky. Ideally, the final yield is 17,000 jin of jerky.

Now that everyone's food intake has stabilized, each adult orc needs to eat at least 50 kilograms of pure meat every day. Based on 32 adult orcs, at least 140,000 kilograms of food need to be prepared for the three months of winter. The tribe's warehouse is one and a half full. Beans, yams, dried wild vegetables, dried mushrooms, dried seafood, salted fish, dried meat, etc. add up to 40,000 kilograms, and there is still a big gap.

The main reason is that there are too few carbohydrates. If you don't eat carbohydrates for a long time, you will eat more and get hungry faster. My own tribe is so hardworking and it is already in this situation. I don't know how other tribes will survive the winter. Slaves have already appeared in the inherited memory. They just need to ensure that they don't starve to death in winter. Only a few upper-level orcs can eat their fill.

"We need at least twenty-five bison to have enough food and clothing this winter." Yun Xi said solemnly and poured a basin of cold water on Tao.

"So much?" The wolf was stunned.

"In the winter, since we don't need to hunt and gather, we can eat less," Xing said, "but it won't be much less."

Tao's eyes widened when she heard this. "But we have to take these five cows back and take care of them. If we go hunting again, the bison might run away."

Yun Xi said ambitiously, "We still have 200 kilograms of salt in our tribe, which should be enough. I'll take Xingyue and Weiya with me to send these five back and have Hehu, Ying and the other children take care of them first. You guys go ahead and explore the way. Wait for us to come back. This time we're going to separate out ten cows!"

"Ten!"

Tao touched the corner of her bruised mouth, unable to bear the toothache. Five cows could fight back and forth if everyone gave their all, but ten! It was a bit risky.

"Yes! These ten cows are the last time. After tomorrow, the bison herd will be too far away from the tribe, so there is no need to come again." Yun Xi explained.

"What should we do with the gap?" Xue Qing had a headache.

"Half of us will go hunting in the mountains, and the other half will go to the sea to fish. We should be able to fill the gap before winter." Xing said, "If all else fails, we can endure the cold and go fishing in the sea."

"Let's get started!" Yun Xi asked everyone to take action and not waste time.

After Yun Xi transformed into a beast, Tao and the others put the prey on the backs of the five of them. It was a bit difficult for one person to carry a cow, but they still managed to fly.

With a long roar, Yun Xi gritted her teeth and led her tribesmen back.

In fact, there is plenty of room for food. However, if the tribesmen work hard at hunting and gathering but still cannot eat enough, then I can provide some relief. This is considered an emergency. But if the tribesmen are lazy and do not store food at the beginning, just waiting for pie to fall from the sky, then I will not give them anything even if I watch everyone starve to death. This is human nature!
