Chapter 10
After handing the molds to these little cubs and telling them how to make good-looking clay figures, the little guys happily went to work for him.
Yu Sui himself began to study the clay molds for tiles. He only remembered two methods. One method was to make a special tile mold out of wood, which seemed to be movable and adjustable. This method was too difficult for him.
Another method is to use mud to surround a barrel to make a cylindrical hollow mold, leaving a crack on each side. After drying, separate them to form two tiles.
He found a stone of suitable size, ground it into a cylindrical shape, rolled the mud into a thin sheet, wrapped it around the stone, cut a wooden board to size and leave gaps, and then took out the stone. A model was ready.
This job requires patience and carefulness. Ashan tried it clumsily for a while, but when he found that he really couldn't do it, he gave up.
After learning for a while, Qi also helped to make a lot of embryos.
These brick and tile blanks are best dried in the shade, as sun drying will make them crispy when baked.
After the cubs had made all the clay models, Yu Sui covered them all with straw.
I hope it doesn’t rain in the next few days, otherwise everything will be in vain. Yu Sui prayed in his heart.
After all this, the snow wolves were all covered in mud. The most mischievous Xiaochu was even covered in mud from head to toe. They took a bath in the river before returning.
On the way home, Yu Sui also found wild onions. He was so happy that he dug a large handful and found some other wild vegetables to take home.
The two carnivores watching from the sidelines didn't understand why Yu Sui loved eating green leafy vegetables so much.
During this busy time, the tofu is almost ready.
Yu Sui took down several baskets of stones and untied the cloth, revealing the white and tender tofu.
This time they made a lot, so Yu Sui kept some for himself and Xiaochu, and gave the rest to Qi and Ashan, asking them to distribute them.
Especially since Ashan collected beans from many houses yesterday and made tofu today, he wanted to let the snow wolves who provided the beans taste it to see if he was really not lying.
Qi took away a basket and let Ashan divide the rest.
Yu Sui and Xiao Chu had soy milk and delicious tofu pudding that morning, so they weren't hungry anymore. He suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to share some of the jam he had made yesterday with the two of them, so he took Xiao Chu and ran after them.
The adult snow werewolves were really fast. Even though the two men were carrying tofu, they couldn't find them by the time they chased them out, so they simply went straight to the other's home.
Midori and Heiyan were not at home. Qi put the tofu away and turned to see Xiaochu walking in with a bowl of something red.
Xiaochu timidly handed him the stone bowl and whispered, "This is the jam my brother made. He said he wanted Aunt Lu and Uncle Heiyan to try it too. It's sweet and delicious when mixed with water."
A sweet smell entered his nose. Qi took it, lowered his head and said, "Thank you, brother, for me."
He wanted to ask something, but in the end he didn't ask and watched Xiaochu jump away.
Yu Sui and Xiao Chu split up into two groups and happened to meet Kalan who was resting, so they asked him about Ashan's location. Kalan kindly pointed him in a direction.
Ah Shan was showing off his tofu to a familiar Snow Wolf Warrior, and gave him a few pieces, saying that it was made from beans he had collected from his home.
He had been showing off like this all the way, distributing the jam and showing off. Yu Sui caught up with him and handed him the jam.
"This is for you, Brother Ashan. This is the jam I made myself. It's mixed with honey and it's so sweet. You can soak it in water and drink it, or you can eat it directly. There are also some for Brother Xu and Brother Notting. Please help me give them to them." Yu Sui said.
Ah Shan placed the stone bowls on the basket in his hand and breathed in the sweet aroma in the air with intoxication. He said with emotion, "They smell so good! I'll give these two to Notting and the others when they come back from hunting."
Today, Xu and the hunting team worked together to fight a fifth-level monster, the Frost Wolf. The wolf ran very fast and they chased it for a long distance before they completely ended its life.
The Snow Wolf people cheered as they carried their prey back to the tribe. It was very prestigious to kill a high-level magical beast. Moreover, the fur, bones and blood of the high-level magical beast were very valuable and could be exchanged for many necessities from humans.
Xu remembered that Yu Sui said he wanted some monster fur. Although he didn't know what he was going to do, he still chose the Frost Giant Wolf for Yu Sui. He didn't know how much he needed, so as soon as Xu returned to the tribe, he hurried to find Yu Sui.
Yu Sui was very touched. The more complete the Warcraft fur was, the more valuable it was. And because Xu had told him that he wanted Warcraft fur, he was thinking of giving him the best fifth-level Warcraft fur and was not afraid that he would damage the fur.
He said hurriedly, "The tribe gave me a gray rabbit yesterday. I made a brush with the rabbit's fur. I don't need monster fur anymore."
"The gray rabbit's fur is not as strong and durable as the Frost Wolf's fur." Xu thought he was embarrassed to take it, so he advised him.
"I just want to make a brush that can apply oil. Gray rabbit hair is enough. It would be a waste to use such good hair from a fifth-level monster." Yu Sui explained.
Moreover, this fifth-level monster was killed by several snow wolves together. If Xu really destroyed the fur of the fifth-level monster for him, he would be blamed by others.
"Okay." Xu looked at the wall where only a small string of meat slices was hanging pitifully, and pulled Yu Sui to divide the meat.
It just so happened that there was no meat left at home, so Yu Sui followed Xu to a large open space in the tribe used to divide up the monsters.
Heiyan brought Notting with him, and they were distributing meat to the people in the tribe.
When Notting saw him coming, he happily shaved off a large piece of skin from the Frost Wolf's leg.
Yu Sui almost didn't catch it. He held up the piece of meat in his hand and felt its weight. Wow, this piece of meat was more than twice as heavy as the one he got on the day he first arrived.
If you want to capture someone's heart, you must first capture their stomach. This saying is even more vividly demonstrated in the Snow Wolf Clan.
The original owner didn't have this treatment. It seems that the delicious food he had been fed these two days was not in vain.
After expressing his gratitude, Yu Sui wanted to go back to cook, but was stopped by Hei Yan.
"Yesterday Qi told me about your idea about farming. Bring Xiaochu to our house for dinner later, and we will discuss it in detail." Heiyan said with a smile.
Yu Sui was a little flattered. He didn't expect to get a reply so soon. He had been thinking of fighting a long and slow battle.
"By the way, Brother Xu, can you give me the internal organs of a monster?" I almost forgot about this.
Xu looked at him in surprise and said, "What do you want that for? It's dirty and smelly. We snow wolves won't eat it." Could it be that Yu Sui could make even internal organs delicious?
Yu Sui touched his nose embarrassedly and said, "I want to use the internal organs as bait to catch fish in the river next to us."
Fish tastes terrible too. Xu looked at him with a puzzled expression, unable to refuse. He pinched his nose and found some monster entrails for Yu Sui.
Yu Sui was about to complain about the waste. If the Snow Wolf people's discarded offal were brought to China, people would be crazy about it. It was so big, it was much easier to clean than pig offal. He remembered that when his grandfather used to make pig offal for him, he had to wash it over and over again to get it clean. It was big and easy to clean, making it a perfect ingredient.
The most he has now is a wild onion to use for seasoning, so he'd better give up on things like intestines for now.
Yu Sui first went back home, put the internal organs and meat at the door, cleaned himself, and then carried Xiaochu to Uncle Heiyan's house.
Lu greeted him warmly and made a bowl of honey jam water for him and Xiaochu respectively.
She stood by and watched the two of them drinking with a smile, praising them, "The jam you made tastes so good. I can smell it from far away."
As she spoke, she began to prepare the meal. Yu Sui also came forward to help.
The clay pot in Lu's house was very big, so Yu Sui cut some more meat and put it into the pot. He stir-fried it first, and after the oil came out, he put in some chopped wild onions he brought with him, poured in a can of water, and stewed it slowly.
Lu divided the barbecued meat for several people into pieces, skewered them, and roasted them on the fire.
As she grilled the meat, she said to Yu Sui, "Are those white pieces that Qi brought back today tofu? They smell much better than dried beans."
"Tofu is made by grinding beans into juice and then boiling it, so it doesn't have a strong bean smell, and one pound of beans can make three or four pounds of tofu." Yu Sui replied.
Lu's eyes widened as she stared at the basket in surprise. How could the food keep growing? She'd assumed it would take a lot of beans to make such a large basket of tofu. She wondered if the beans she'd asked Qi to take away yesterday would be enough to make all this tofu, and she didn't want Xiao Yu to have to add more beans.
If what Yu Sui said is true, then these tofus did not even use one-fifth of the beans taken from home, which really saves food.
While the two were talking, Qi and Heiyan also came back carrying the prey they had divided up.
Heiyan also brought back a pheasant that was four or five times bigger than the one Yu Sui had killed on the first day. This kind of small prey could be taken home directly without being divided.
"I can finally eat it today. The fragrance has been entering my nose every day these days, making me drool every day." Heiyan said with a generous smile.
I guess I smelled the chicken soup he made on the first day, so I brought him a big pheasant today. The snow werewolf is really simple and cute.
The meals he cooked every day these past two days were not enough, so he couldn't share some with Uncle Heiyan and Aunt Lu, who had always taken good care of the original owner.
Yu Sui saw that there was a clay pot in Lu's house, so he took it out and planned to cook another pot of chicken soup to fulfill Uncle Heiyan's wish.
Just as he was about to go out and process the pheasant, Qi took the pheasant out to clean it before him.
Yu Sui asked Xiaochu to run home and get some mushrooms, as chicken stewed with mushrooms is a perfect match.
After the temperature of the clay pot came up, Yu Sui put most of the chicken pieces in, fried them until the water was dry, added wild onions and sautéed them, and then put them in water to stew.
Lu made a cup of honey jam water for herself, Heiyan and Qi. "This was also made by Yu Sui. Try it. It tastes good!" she said to Heiyan.
As the sweet juice enters your mouth, the sweet aroma of honey and jam permeates your heart.
Heiyan drank it all in one gulp and laughed, "I think Yu Sui's jam is much better than those juices of the elves!"
Yu Sui was almost embarrassed by the praise. The broth in the clay pot gradually began to boil and develop an aroma. He added mushrooms and tofu cubes to the chicken broth, and tofu and wild vegetables to the other pot of animal broth.
When it was almost cooked, Yu Sui put coarse salt in two earthenware jars.
Heiyan held the steaming hot stone bowl and stuffed the tofu into his mouth without fear of the heat. As expected, the tofu, which was soaked with broth, quickly conquered him.
The soup is fresh and meaty, and the unique aroma of mushrooms and the bean flavor of tofu blend well. The wild vegetables in the animal meat soup also neutralize the greasiness of the broth.
They ate a mouthful of barbecue and a sip of soup without even looking up. The other werewolves in the tribe could only smell the tantalizing aroma and eat their own dry barbecue.
In particular, the few Snow Wolf people who had tasted these foods grilled the meat in their respective homes according to the method taught by Yu Sui. Although the grilled meat tasted better than before, the aroma was also very bitter.
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. After being baptized by delicious food, the Snow Wolf Man can no longer return to his former picky eaters.
After the meal, Yu Sui repeated to Heiyan the fact that one pound of beans could produce three or four pounds of tofu. Heiyan's expression became more cautious after hearing this.
"When Qi came back yesterday, he told me that you wanted the tribe to start farming, and told me that 20 kilograms of wheat could produce 2,000 kilograms." Heiyan's expression was very serious when he talked about business.
Yu Sui nodded and added: "If we grow beans ourselves, 20 kilograms of beans can produce about 1,000 kilograms." Of course, he was talking about high yields. When painting a rosy picture for others, of course you have to try to exaggerate the output.
Heiyan and Lu looked at each other, each seeing the solemnity in the other's eyes. They had to admit that they were very excited about the output that Yu Sui had mentioned, but they also had their own concerns.
Not to mention that Yu Sui is a young boy, and whether what he said is reliable, even if it is true, they still need to invest a lot of manpower to farm.
The Snow Werewolves sent out warriors to patrol and hunt every day. In addition to providing food for the tribe, they also had to prepare food for the winter. However, on this continent, the Snow Werewolves were not invincible. Warriors were often injured while hunting, and they often ran out of food when natural disasters occurred.
This caused Heiyan to hesitate. While he was tempted by the benefits of farming, he was also worried that it would lead to a shortage of hunters, resulting in less food during the winter. After all, unlike the minotaurs, they didn't rely on farming for their livelihoods. If they messed up, wouldn't all their efforts be in vain?
Yu Sui guessed his concern from the look on his face and expressed his thoughts. "Uncle Heiyan, the Tauren have always had a good reputation on this continent. They are always willing to help any tribe in need. We can definitely ask them for advice. I think they would be happy to see us learning to grow crops like them."
Despite their large size, tauren are known for their gentle dispositions. Even when human caravans enter the Fantasy Continent to conduct business with various races, they prioritize tauren and elves. The tauren are gentle and won't withhold their merchandise, while the elves, proud and self-proclaimed civilized, disdain to attack them.
Heiyan made up his mind and patted Yu Sui on the shoulder. "It's autumn now, and we need to store enough food for the tribe to survive the winter, as well as wood and animal skins to keep warm. When winter comes, we can go to the Tauren tribe and learn how to farm from them, and trade some seeds with them."
This would only increase the tribe's need for prey, and the pressure would double. Heiyan looked at Qi. Fortunately, he had a son with great power. His son could even kill a fifth-level monster alone!
A huge weight lifted off Yu Sui's shoulders, and he said happily, "I can teach them how to make tofu, and they'll definitely be happy to teach us how to farm."
Lu sighed, "Yu Sui has grown up and become sensible." She used to take care of Yu Sui and was always disappointed by his self-destructive attitude. His parents were the strongest warriors in the tribe, and as their son, Yu Sui shouldn't be so weak.
Now that she sees Yu Sui has become cheerful and has his own ideas, she feels happy for them.
The monster entrails left at the doorstep stank. The larger the monster, the more stinky it was. No wonder the Snow Werewolves refused to eat it.
Yu Sui wanted to use it up quickly to avoid leaving it here to smoke, so he collected a lot of vines and made a fishing net.
Fishing nets are divided into gill nets, trawling nets, purse seine nets, building nets, and laying nets according to their functions. Trawling nets, also known as trawl nets, are suitable for areas with relatively flat seabeds and mostly sandy coasts. They should also be used on flat riverbanks.
He knitted while reminiscing. He used to laugh at the streamers who recorded wilderness survival videos, watching them to better immerse himself in his favorite farming stories. He never expected that all of this would come in handy now. If he ever returned to the modern era, he would definitely shower these people with gifts to express his gratitude.
At first, I didn't even know how to start and wasted a lot of vines. Finally, I found some tricks as I weaved and continued to weave slowly.
Originally, he didn't want to bother with this and thought about just making a fishing rod. But then he thought, considering the size of the monsters in this world, the fish shouldn't be that small either. He didn't know how deep the river was, so there must be many big fish hiding. He had to be careful not to pull him in again.
At the end of weaving, he was too lazy to take apart the wrong parts of the fishing net, so he just patched them all up. Finally, an ugly fishing net was made.
Since there was no plastic to use as a float, he tied some wood on it to make do, and tied some stones to use as a weight, and that was it.
He excitedly took Xiaochu to the river with a fishing net and monster intestines, but suddenly remembered that he couldn't swim and was dumbfounded.
Who in the tribe could swim? Yu Sui pondered. With his strength, throwing the net out was no problem at all. The only problem was that he needed to slowly pull it back from both sides of the river.
Xu and the others should continue training now, and he felt a little embarrassed to disturb them.
