Suddenly, a woman's voice spoke up: "No way, are you kidding me? This will require a lot of salt."
“Our tribe hasn’t fully recovered yet, and salt is extremely scarce. We need to trade with other tribes. You’ve made us use so much salt all at once; what are we going to do later?”
Felice spoke fluently and immediately stated the approximate amount of meat an adult orc would need during the harsh autumn and winter seasons, which caused some orcs to waver.
Indeed, boiling salt water is quite difficult. More importantly, their tribe also needs to filter the coarse salt and use the fine salt to trade with other tribes for other goods.
After completing their regular maintenance and hunting work, they also need to boil brine as a precaution. However, the thought of preparing such a large amount of salt for storing meat inevitably makes everyone feel a pang of regret.
“Fei Li’er—” Gal’s gaze towards her changed.
Felice was a little scared and nervous, especially since Will was holding her hand and constantly gesturing for her not to provoke him. She just couldn't get over it.
Of course, she never dared to look in the direction of the Serpent Rong.
Now, she said dryly, "I'm doing this for the future of the tribe."
Alright, after hearing this, the beastmen present did indeed undergo a subtle change.
CatDodo frowned and spoke directly: "But, if we store more meat this way, we can survive. Even if the seawater freezes in winter, it will be difficult for us to boil the seawater then..."
Her voice was very soft, yet it reached the ears of everyone else with absolute clarity.
Boiling brine requires a lot of firewood. As the weather gets colder, the difficulty will increase significantly if they continue to boil brine. Furthermore, even the young animals in the family need salt to survive.
In this way, salt, which is needed for things like cured meat, seems to be able to help people survive...
"I agree with what Maoduoduo said."
"Actually, we boil salt water every day, and there's nothing wrong with using some of the filtered coarse salt."
...
Some orcs stepped forward to take a stand and began to speak.
"You—" Philia glared at them angrily.
Even so, it couldn't change the fact that more and more people were supporting Maoduoduo at the scene.
“It seems we can now choose to make cured meat and smoked meat,” Gal said, summarizing the matter.
Many of the orcs present smiled, and many felt hopeful about the future.
From then on, everyone's lives seemed busier, even requiring them to search for more firewood. But even so, life still became quite enjoyable.
The aroma of various cured and smoked meats filled the air, making them not only craving more but also filled with boundless expectations and desires for the future.
If this method works, they can have a peaceful winter without having to live in fear.
After a few days, everyone's life seemed to be getting back on track.
Once again, by the campfire, Gal summarized the daily arrangements for White Tiger City.
When the meeting was about to end, Maoduo called out to the other person and inevitably revealed what he had been considering.
“I think the tribes need to be further subdivided nowadays,” CatDodo stepped forward and said methodically.
Seeing the people's actions, the snake cubs took the initiative to pull the snake ram, who was about to leave, and came over to listen to what the cat, Duoduo, was saying.
“Nowadays, many people live in a very disorganized manner, so they don’t really distinguish between their daily life and transactions.”
CatDodo took the initiative to draw a map on the ground, marking out residential areas, commercial areas, and administrative areas.
It must be said that the layout of each part is quite satisfactory.
"Also, I've recently discovered that there are quite a few controversies within the tribe, and rules are needed to manage them." Perhaps because Gal is good-tempered, many orcs have become accustomed to using emotional appeals to try and influence the other party.
Take the previous incident with Fierce as an example. Will's intervention was also out of gratitude that Snake Cub and the others were unharmed. And in the following days, CatDodo witnessed some conflicts.
There were countless conflicts, including disputes over caves, females, and various resources within the tribe, which were truly a headache.
These are the kinds of things that Gal needs to handle on a daily basis, and each one requires Gal to clarify its details.
This kind of mechanical and useless work really left Mao Duoduo speechless. Having gotten used to all kinds of rules, uniforms, and legal regulations, she simply couldn't understand any of it.
Everyone could choose to live a more orderly and relaxed life, but now they seem to be wandering around like headless flies.
"You're absolutely right."
In fact, CatDodo touched on Gal's heart.
After a busy period, Gal looked tired, mainly because he hadn't expected so many disputes to come his way.
Once you choose to use the methods suggested by Maoduoduo and establish corresponding rules and regulations for management, and handle matters in this way in the future, your workload can be greatly reduced.
You could even focus on your cultivation and spending time with your cat, Duoduo...
Gal's father was once a very powerful orc.
However, after the other party became preoccupied with daily tribal affairs, he also neglected his cultivation.
This gave Bai Na the opportunity to kill his father and take power.
"I understand. I'll go and gather everyone for a discussion right away."
In his excitement, Gal was about to leave.
Cat Duoduo hesitated, observing the person's behavior. She wanted to call out to them, as they hadn't had a proper time together in many days. But seeing their reaction, she couldn't bring herself to do it.
"That's perfect," Gal realized, and looked at CatDodo with anticipation, "I might have to trouble you for a meal, Dodo, do you have any good suggestions?"
"Oh, of course I have that. Don't worry, I'm very capable."
Cat Duoduo's confident smile.
Gal smiled, quickly said goodbye to her, and went to gather many orcs to discuss the matter.
When Maoduo saw that the other person had completely disappeared, he couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment.
What? Have I been so busy that I haven't even had a chance to talk to her more than a few times...?
Just then, several snake cubs ran over, excitedly hugged her, and kept urging her to get a divorce.
"Mommy, I really admire you so much."
"Yes, yes, Mother can do everything. The smoked meat she made recently is so fragrant, and you even wrapped it in some sweet wild vegetables. We were so happy when we ate it."
...
CatDodo couldn't help but laugh at their flattery, and ruffled their hair in annoyance, "You guys, didn't you say you were going to sleep? What are you doing here now?"
"Because I want to see you."
