Because there are many small wild animals in the patrol area, and most of them are not very powerful, many wild animals outside the patrol area that have been driven out by their relatives and cannot compete with other beasts have set their sights on the patrol area.
After all, the beasts in the patrol area were left behind intentionally by the orcs, and their combat effectiveness is not that good among the beasts.
In the eyes of wild animals outside the patrol area, they are the easiest prey to catch.
The living environment of the beasts in the patrol area is not that fierce because the orcs will drive away the powerful beasts. Therefore, even if they are the same kind of beasts, their combat effectiveness is not as good as that outside the patrol area.
There have even been cases where wild animals ran away from the patrol area, but within a few days they ran back as if they were running for their lives, and could not be driven away.
As the number of wild beasts in the patrol area increased, the tribe assigned tasks to the young orcs who were 14 years old or older, asking them to hunt the ferocious small and medium-sized wild beasts in the patrol area. The large beasts would naturally be dealt with by adult orcs until the patrol area returned to peace.
To some extent, this can be considered an alternative form of captivity. Although the orcs do not feel that they are raising the wild beasts in the patrol area, the wild beasts in the patrol area do not feel that they are protected by the orcs to some extent.
But both sides survive in such a tacit understanding.
Soon, Mu prepared the meat and roasted it on the fire. At the same time, he started another fire and cooked vegetable soup.
The aroma of food wafted into the noses of the three people who were working hard.
"Mu's cooking skills have improved!" Lie put down the wood in his hand.
At the same time, Meng Yuqing touched his stomach and felt a little hungry.
Xuan noticed his movements and stopped what he was doing, "Then let's eat first."
The three of them walked to the food that Mu had prepared. Mu distributed the food to them and said to Lie with a smile, "Among the three of us, you are the worst at cooking now, hehe."
Lie rolled his eyes at him and started eating. Xuan and Meng Yuqing didn't bother to be polite with Mu. They sat down and started eating quickly.
While eating, Meng Yuqing was thinking about how to draw the next line.
Xuan Helie has also been thinking about how to carve parts more accurately.
Among the four people, only Mu was happily enjoying the delicious food.
"Why did you make so many of the same things?" Mu said when he saw the parts they put aside.
"Make a few more to prevent accidental damage during assembly."
"Ooooh, that looks really complicated."
The production of the cotton gin took longer than Meng Yuqing expected. With Youlie's help and Mu cooking a meal for them every day, it took them nearly twenty days to successfully assemble a machine.
The moment of success, Meng Yuqing jumped up with joy and said, "Just wait, I'll make you some delicious food in the winter."
Thinking about how long it had been since Meng Yuqing treated them to a meal the day before they went to look for the wandering orcs, Mu Helie nodded immediately, "It's settled then."
The next day after the production was completed, the Shanjian tribe sent them a large amount of cotton.
After Xia Heyang received them, he told Meng Yuqing the news.
He thought about it and decided to put it in the sun for a few days.
At the same time, Yang also told him that the big house had been built and a lot of bricks had been burned.
Meng Yuqing, who was just about to lie down for two days, could only cheer up and take out the animal skin to start drawing the production plan of the kang.
The paper still needs to be made, but for now, let him and the people in the tribe take some time.
Apart from those who go out hunting and patrolling, there are really not many idle people in the tribe. People are needed everywhere, such as farming, burning bricks, burning charcoal, and mass-producing cotton gins.
Even the little orcs were captured by Xia and his men to do various jobs, and the little sub-beasts were not spared. Many adult orcs sighed as they watched these little guys busying around behind them.
"When I was this old, I don't know where I went to play. I spent the most free years of my life."
"But it's good to be busy. Everyone has something to do, and the tribe will get better and better."
During the process of making the cotton gin, Xuan, Lie and Mu all followed Meng Yuqing to learn the scales on the ruler and the Arabic numerals from one to one hundred.
Among them, Xuanxue was the fastest, Lie was not bad either, but Mu was a bit simple-minded. He remembered everything on the first day but forgot most of it when he took the exam on the second day.
But Mu had a good attitude. He could just learn again if he forgot. He was not impatient but found it very interesting instead.
It took me ten days to finally learn it.
In the end, the cotton gin became a mass production operation run by the three of them.
Meng Yuqing followed for a few days and found that Xuan was in charge, Lie was teaching patiently, and Mu livened up the atmosphere from time to time. Xuan and Lie also had experience in making a cotton gin by themselves, so their progress was pretty good.
At the same time, the numbers from one to one hundred spread rapidly in the tribe.
After knowing that Yang had learned numbers, Meng Yuqing gave him the animal skin with the method of making a kang painted on it.
"We need to build some more kangs in the big house so we can study on them in the winter without getting cold. The sub-beasts can sit on the kangs, and you orcs can sit in the middle. We can then build some stools and tables in the middle. However, there are too many people in the tribe, so we can't teach them all at once."
"This is not a problem. Xia and I have discussed it. The people in charge of the tribe will definitely go to learn it. Then we will select some people who learn quickly and have flexible minds as the first batch of learners. After they have learned it, they will teach others." Yang had already thought of a solution to this problem.
"Okay, as long as you have a plan. By the way, if the cubs are free, bring them here to study." Meng Yuqing suggested after thinking for a while.
"That's no problem. They have nothing to do in the winter, so it's good to have a place to go so they don't have to run around and get sick from the cold." Yang agreed readily.
Although these cubs are quite obedient most of the time, they have to stay at home for so long in winter, so it is inevitable that some of them will be naughty and can't stand the loneliness and want to go out and play in the snow.
Most of them are little beastmen, and occasionally little sub-beasts will play with them, which always makes their father beasts and sub-fathers very angry.
Every winter is the peak season for beating children, especially the little orcs, who are often beaten and run around the tribe, which is purely considered as training for them in winter.
As for those orcs without parents? In the past few years, Lian was responsible for beating them, and in the past two years, Ya has been responsible for beating them.
As for those little orcs who had just lost their fathers, they were naturally beaten by the orcs who had been on good terms with his father in the past, whom his sub-father had asked to do so.
After handing over all the matters concerning the kang to Yang, he followed the progress for a few days as usual. After seeing that they had successfully built a kang and had a successful test burn, he was completely relieved.
He returned to the house, lay on the bed covered with stream leaves and began to think.
