Chapter 155: Collecting Things Quickly
In a family, the status and treatment of males, in addition to their own strength, character and family background, depends more on the way females handle things and the character of the beastly husbands in the family!
He was quite shocked this morning, but he also understood why his tribe members wanted him to become a female.
Si Shuo chuckled and patted his shoulder, "In fact, if you send out the spiritual plants, you should be able to bring back a lot of tribesmen, right?"
Xiao Cheng rubbed her neck, "Sister, have you thought of this situation a long time ago?"
"Yesterday afternoon, I heard Hang He talk about the living conditions of the big guys in this area.
It is rare to find a family like ours or Imei's, where there are several beast soldiers among the beast husbands.
Most of their families have only one beastman on duty in the beast barracks, and their family members who live with them in the palm-sized houses all depend on the monthly salary of this beast soldier.
The burden on the whole family is so heavy, so they do odd jobs, such as weaving bamboo baskets, doing hard labor for others, making snacks to sell, etc." Si Shuo said in a low voice.
Guangshou City has a history of thousands of years. The orcs are numerous and they fight for every inch of land. Everyone is working hard to survive in Guangshou City.
Away from the forest, the orcs don't need to be constantly vigilant against the ferocious beasts that often roam nearby, but at the same time, their source of survival is also cut off, and they need to find their own way out.
One less person in the family means one less laborer. Who would take risks for an invisible pie?
Xiao Cheng's mood eased a little at this moment, and he said a little embarrassedly: "It's just that our clan members have a very low status in the family. I was so angry that I couldn't bear to give away the spiritual plant that my sister condensed."
"It's okay. Our family will need a lot of manpower to make brushes, paper, and ink for writing.
We just pay them to do the work!
Sometimes, how much crystals they earn determines their status in the family."
At any time, it is no exaggeration to say that economy determines family status.
Si Shuo smiled and gently pushed him, then turned his head to look at the three slightly nervous and uneasy males.
Xiao Cheng smiled and took a step back, scratched his head and introduced her, "Sister, this is Xiao Bo, Xiao Kai and Xiao Yuan."
"Three brothers, this is my wife Si Shuo!"
The three males quickly bowed and said, "Hello, Madam Si!"
Si Shuo nodded at them: "Hello."
These three were good-looking, at least above average among orcs, but long-term malnutrition made their cheeks thin, and the seductive look in their eyebrows and eyes seemed a little frivolous and mean.
But their eyes are pure, tinged with a hint of bitterness and numbness towards life.
"I wonder what you usually do at home? Can you tell me how many crystals you earn every month?" Si Shuo thought for a while and asked.
The three males looked at each other, and the slightly older one put down the bamboo basket on his shoulder, which was filled with many exquisite things. He smiled and handed it over and said, "In reply to Madam Si, I weave various rattan baskets at home and sell them at the market every now and then. I heard that you just moved yesterday, so I'll give these to you to hold your things. We will trouble you a lot more in the future."
Xiao Cheng took it without hesitation. The rattan baskets of various shapes and sizes were indeed beautiful and innovative.
A smile flashed in Si Shuo's eyes. He didn't give away any of the spiritual plants in Xiao Cheng's hand, but he was very efficient in collecting things.
"These things can't be sold for much money. I can earn seven or eight level five crystals a day, which is considered good. I can earn about twenty level six crystals a month, which is barely enough to feed me and the females at home."
Si Shuo nodded in understanding. This was the most basic standard for a male to gain a foothold in the family.
If there wasn't a male beast soldier in the family, leading more than 500 level 6 crystals every month, and if there weren't half of the males in the family fighting ferocious beasts in the border town, and each of them bringing back 180 level 6 crystal cores every month, their lives would have been even more difficult!
After all, they still have long, unproductive rainy seasons and cold winters to go through.
Therefore, the status of the beast soldiers in their respective families is quite high. Over time, the status gap among the beast husbands in the family becomes more and more obvious.
The other two, one was helping someone with farming and happened to have no work to do today; the other one was doing some errands for someone and wanted to come over to see what was going on.
Xiao Cheng couldn't help but speak up for them: "Sister, look at how good Brother Xiao Yuan's craftsmanship is. You can tell at a glance that he is very clever and a fast learner! Xiao Bo is able to endure hardships, and Xiao Kai is very smart..."
Si Shuo smiled and pulled him to the yard, calling the three males to follow: "Ji Liang said that you ran out without having breakfast?"
Xiao Cheng shook his arms, "I'm a little anxious. I'm so hungry now!"
Having said that, he turned his head to look at the three males behind him, pursed his lips and said nothing.
"You guys eat first and listen to me." Si Shuo knew what he was thinking, so he asked them to eat first.
There was a large, long stone table in the yard. Hearing Xiao Cheng's movement, Xu Chi put some more food on the table.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
There was thick rice porridge, dried meat mixed with seasonal vegetables, multi-grain cakes and a plate of fruit.
"We've already had dinner at home," Xiao Yuan didn't sit down, but lowered his eyes slightly, not daring to look around.
The other two also stood with him, but the food smelled so delicious that their stomachs growled, which betrayed them.
Xiao Cheng smiled and said: "Three brothers, let's eat first. Only when we are full can we work better.
Don't worry, our family is not a sucker, we will definitely let you do the work later to justify this meal!"
Anyway, after he got the storage ring, he stored a lot of fruits and the skin, flesh, and bones of ferocious beasts along the way, so it was okay to treat people to a meal. At worst, he would just not bring people home next time.
Si Shuo also advised: "Yes, I want to open a small workshop at home first to make paper that can be used to write beastly characters.
I'll have to trouble you to find some trees for me later and see what kind of paper can be made from each type. It's a lot of running around and hard work.
How about I give you 50 level 6 crystals every month? When you make money from selling the paper at home, I will give you more crystals.
For your convenience, we will provide you with two meals a day."
A day in the Beast World is 18 beast hours, equivalent to 36 hours. A day is long, and the beastmen eat two to four meals depending on the situation at home.
Hearing this treatment, the three males were a little frightened.
It is well known that the treatment of beast soldiers is good. After all, they are responsible for the safety of the entire Guangshou City. Five hundred level six crystals may seem like a lot, but they are very active and eat a lot. Basically, eating alone will cost one hundred or eighty level six crystals.
Even the beast soldiers didn't provide meals, and the same was true for other families in Guangshou City. Including two meals, they could earn sixty level six crystals a month. The long-term workers employed by wealthy families and envied by everyone were only treated like this!
