Chapter 160 There are a lot of people coming
Gong You watched Si Shuo finish his shredded chicken noodles, gnaw on a corn, eat an egg, and drink a glass of milk before she chased him out with Hang He to visit various martial arts gyms in the west district to find out more about the situation.
Ji Liang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Xiao Shuo Shuo, there are more than 20 three-tailed blue fox tribe members outside the door. How do you want to arrange it?"
Si Shuo was just wondering, the conditions he offered were good, why didn't even Xiao Yuan and the other two come yesterday.
It turned out that there were too many of them, and they were all waiting outside the fence! She stood at the door and looked at the blue-haired, fox-eyed males. For a moment, she felt that this was not a job recruitment, but a talent show! However, she also realized that it seemed a bit unrealistic to provide meals herself, so she smiled and asked, "Has everyone not eaten yet? I'm sorry, I didn't know so many friends would come today.
Are you all here to help my Xiao Cheng?"
Si Shuo thought about it and realized that except for Ji Liang, the other beastly husbands were on duty for one day and rested for one day, so they couldn't always be around her.
For example, Xiao Cheng wanted to strengthen his tribe, so she could teach him how to make paper.
Xiao Yuan stood in the front and said a little embarrassedly: "Mrs. Si, Xiao Cheng said that there is a lot of work at home and asked us to come and help if we have time.
We, are there too many of us here?"
Each person receives fifty crystal stones a month, and there are twenty-five of them. Taking into account two meals a day, wouldn't that mean that Team Yin's monthly salary would be wasted?
Si Shuo smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's a bit too much." Everyone's face changed slightly, especially the orcs who came later. They were so embarrassed that they almost buried their heads in their chests and dug their toes into the ground.
But she changed the subject, "My family may not be able to prepare meals for so many of you. What do you think? Should I take out the crystals and you buy the ingredients and cook by yourselves, or should I give you an extra 20 crystals every month as food money?"
Everyone was stunned. Such a surprising turn of events made them unable to react for a while.
They looked eagerly at Xiao Yuan, who blushed as he confirmed, "Mrs. Si, you, you mean to say that you will still provide us with two meals, but in a different way?"
“Yes, our house is so small, and my husbands have a hard time on duty, so I don’t want them to cook so many meals.
So, discuss and decide which method to choose. "
Of course it's the second one! They didn't even think about it, and they didn't need to discuss it, they all chose the second one. They could get seventy level six crystals every month, and they were already excited.
They were not far from home, so they had enough time to go home for dinner during their break. Twenty level six crystals were enough for them and the little female at home to have a full meal! Si Shuo smiled and nodded, then turned his head to look at Ji Liang.
The latter had understood what was going on, and gave each of them 20 crystals first, saying with a smile: "Since it's for food money, we'll naturally give it first. After you finish a month's work, if we are both satisfied with each other, you will receive 70 crystals, 50 of which are monthly salary, and the other 20 are for next month's food money."
He just said one if, and naturally there is another situation.
The big guy held his hands full of crystals, his eyes were full of the light refracted from the crystals, and joy seemed to burst out.
They solemnly put the crystal into the animal skin bag they brought with them, and they had already made up their minds to do this job at all costs. At least they couldn't be the ones to be picked on.
But today is the first day, and they must be eager to come and wait for food and work.
Ji Liang called Kouba from next door, stuffed him with crystal stones, and asked him to go to the street to buy some food to fill everyone's stomach.
Si Shuo stood aside with a smile as he watched him arrange things for him, but when he thought that he would often go out to do business in the future, he felt a little reluctant.
The males ate quickly. After eating two large buckets of wild vegetables, noodles and fish, they all became energetic and straightened their backs, waiting to work.
Si Shuo asked them to go through the shop into the courtyard next door, while she walked through the corridor on the east wing.
But as soon as she stepped into the next room, she was startled! Xiao Cheng must have been awake again late at night. He knew who in the neighborhood had wood ability, so he called them out one by one and stuffed them with crystals to stimulate the birth of seeds.
The yard was filled with all kinds of grass and trees, leaving almost no room to step. He was really impatient, and Si Shuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
However, it can also be seen how much he wants to change the current situation of his people, and she is willing to fulfill this sincerity.
"Kitty, if you need anything, just tell us. It's too messy here, and we might get bumped into something," Zhile said with a chuckle, putting his arm around her shoulders.
Zhi Qi curled the corner of his lip on the other side, "The paper we usually write on is made of these things?" He couldn't imagine it at all.
Si Shuo nodded, took out the paper-making method he had copied in animal script, handed it over, and said in a low voice: "In fact, papermaking is quite simple, just boil these woods and beat them into pulp, then scoop them out with a fine net and dry them in the sun.
As for whether or not the paper can be made, and the quality of the paper, there are some tricks to it. If we can control these, we won’t be afraid of them stealing our skills.”
Several males listened attentively with solemn expressions and nodded heavily.
In the southern continent, there are almost no secret recipes among the orcs that cannot be revealed. Every tribe knows almost the same things, and the only difference is the degree of dexterity among the orcs.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
But in the Central Continent, the orcs attach great importance to technology and secret recipes, and even regard them as the main source of crystals for the tribe.
They also began to pay more attention to the secret techniques, and their own things could not be learned by others.
They looked down and quickly reviewed the paper-making method, asked her about what they didn't understand, and when she understood it all, let her watch from the side.
Zhile arranged the tasks according to the orcs' different abilities.
Each orc has a clear division of labor, and they do their work seriously, fearing that if they do something wrong they will be fired and lose such a well-paying job.
The branches and rhizomes removed from the trees are used as fuel. The bark and trunk are separated and can be used to make paper of several specifications.
The bark, trunks and grass stems are cut separately and then steamed simultaneously in six special furnaces in different proportions and types.
The steaming time is relatively long, so they can do other things. For example, Ji Liang and Xu Chi harvested a lot of furs last night.
The production of brushes is even more particular and delicate. One has to select the hairs with sharp edges from the furs. One has to comb the hairs back and forth in his hands thousands of times! The refining of ink smoke, mixing with glue, and pounding with pestles are all laborious and technical work, and they are also time-consuming and must be done together.
The males were very busy, each of them was responsible for two or three steps, and they had almost no time to relax...
Zhi Qi and Ji Liang were leading them in the work in the west yard, while Si Shuo was walking slowly in the east yard with Zhi Le holding his waist.
She had a small frame, and her belly was inflated like a balloon, which was particularly scary. Even she was a little nervous, and she set a certain amount of exercise for herself every day to facilitate the birth in more than ten days.
"Zhi Le, have you and Zhi Qi decided what to do?" Si Shuo asked curiously, tilting his head.
