Yunwen is Bailu's good partner in cooking. The two of them cooperate very well. Without saying a word or even using any gestures, they each know what to do. They have a clear division of labor and each does their own job. They gather around the kitchen stove, busy preparing for tonight's reunion dinner.

Just now, the table knife and the Youlong dagger were stained with the blood of the hyena man, so the two of them first washed them several times with the spring water outside the yard. Then Yunwen used an earthen basin to collect water, washed the wild vegetables in it, and chopped them up, putting them in an empty bowl for preparation. Bailu chopped the meat of the giant shrimp and put it in the bowl to mix together. Then Yunwen poured water into the pot and helped to light the fire, while Bailu took the wheat from a cloth bag, found a control earthen basin, and began to mix the dough, knead the dough, and let it rest. Then, he stretched the dough into long strips, cut it into pieces, and rolled the pieces with an iron rolling rod to make round dumpling skins.

As soon as Bai Lu arrived, she scooped a spoonful of the prepared ingredients in the bowls and poured it onto the dough. Then she wrapped it according to a certain technique, and a dumpling was formed. Then, after making a pot of dumplings in this way, she poured all the ingredients into the boiling water, covered the pot, and waited for it to cook.

Bailu then processed the soaked black fungus and mixed it with dry ingredients. Yunwen cleaned the bowl and used mountain pepper, a dry ingredient and some spring water to make a seasoning. After finishing all this, Bailu used firewood to roast a half-marinated sea fish. Yunwen took the silver wine pot, put the sliced ​​ginseng slices in it, poured in spring water, and placed it near the fire on the stove to make them heat up together.

While they were cooking, I was also counting the resources still in the house. There were about two large baskets of potatoes, and I counted them, a total of 123. There was still a small cloth bag of flour, which could last for more than a month if eaten frugally. There were about 23 fungus on the table, and there were still three and a half pickled sea fish that the hyena people had offered as tribute before. There was still half a basin of giant shrimp meat, about the size of a small football, three big killer crab legs at the door, two ginsengs soaked in a jar, and half a bowl of fine salt on the stove. In addition, the container in the corner was filled with herbs, ingredients, dry materials, etc. collected by Bai Lu, as well as a bag of wild fruits that I arranged for the hyena people to get from the orchard today. It was considered an abundant resource.

In this case, I don't have to worry too much about this aspect. Tomorrow I can focus on how to make the hyena people self-sufficient. In addition, I have to let them do other things as well. After all, Hu Lingshang just said that there are a lot of things running out of that place called Nether Cave.

In a blink of an eye, the food was on the table. Today, everyone had a great reunion and they all sat around the table eating. A plate of dumpling ingredients, grilled fish, and a plate of cold dishes were just right for the occasion.

So everyone got chopsticks and started eating dumplings, two bites of fish, and a mouthful of a cold dish with just the right amount of saltiness. It was really refreshing. However, Hu Lingshang just drank some ginseng tea and ate some black fungus at most. She didn't eat any meat, even if it was hot and extremely sweet.

Yunwen couldn't bear it, so she went to order some of the wild fruits that the hyena people had collected today. Only then did Lingshang start to eat with us. Everyone was talking and laughing at the table, especially Bailu. Since Yunwen helped her and made her one of my wives, she was no longer as hostile to Yunwen. But I don't know if this situation can last long.

At this time, Ling Shang raised the earthenware cup in her hand, stood up and said: "Congratulations to Zhou Lang for becoming the new generation of king. From now on, the fox tribe will also rely on the king to take care of them."

Following Lingshang's words, Yunwen and Bailu also echoed her, toasting me with tea instead of wine. What they said were all very nice and complimentary words, and it was impossible to say that I was unhappy. But at the same time, I also knew that these words were not said in vain. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Behind a compliment comes more responsibility. In the past, I only needed to protect Yunwen and myself, but now I also need to plan and calculate for more people besides them.

So I stood up, raised the bowl and said, "Okay, now that I'm in this position, I will definitely make good arrangements for this position, so that I can live up to the trust you and the hyenas have in me. I mentioned this tonight, and I'll just announce my next arrangements to everyone. Starting tomorrow, I may have to take care of more people and things, and things will be complicated, so they need to be handled in advance. From today on, Bailu, you will be responsible for the housework at home. If there are any omissions, tell Yunwen in advance. Lingshang, you and the fox tribe will mainly be responsible for patrols and security. If there is any danger, notify them in time for defense. Yunwen, you follow me on weekdays, first, as a translator, and second, you have good communication skills, you can also help me deal with conflicts between the tribes and raise any objections."

The three girls shook their heads, and Bai Lu also praised: "Everyone should do their best. It is remarkable that a monarch who has just become a monarch can think of these things."

"Okay, in that case, the positions will be arranged like this. Next is what we have to do tomorrow. After everyone has had enough food and drink tonight, go and rest. Tomorrow after the White Dew breakfast, take the cart and Lingshang in the house to the cave on the hillside and move all the food out of Huahua's house and bring it upstairs. Count the number and report to Yunwen, and then I will distribute it equally to all the hyena people. Yunwen and I will be mainly responsible for arranging the hyena people to work." I continued to make arrangements.

The girls nodded, obviously satisfied with the arrangement.

After a meal of shrimp and vegetarian dumplings, cold dishes and grilled fish, there were only three of us eating, Lingshang didn't eat much, so we were quite full, at least 80% full. After eating, everyone was tired, so we went to the backyard to wash our faces, rinsed our mouths with tea, and then went upstairs together. On the second floor, we hugged each other and fell asleep. Since we were all very tired, except for Yunwen who hugged me tightly to sleep, nothing happened that night and we all fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, the sun was already shining on my legs. As usual, after washing up and eating the meal made by Bailu, everyone started to act according to my instructions last night. I took Yunwen to the open space between the courtyard and the dangerous jungle and blew the whistle. Not long after, the hyena people came down from the hillside one by one. The hyena soldiers lined up neatly in the front, while the children and female hyena people hid behind the men, standing sparsely.

I have counted them. So far there are 10 male hyenas, 13 female hyenas, and 19 baby hyenas. That is the total number. There are 42 people in total, but 23 can be recruited. I have an idea in mind.

"Everyone, listen to me. There are too few hyena people now. If they encounter unpreventable dangers again, it is very likely that the hyena people will become extinct. So everyone must unite and listen to my orders. My arrangements are as follows. In a while, all the hyena people will be temporarily divided into families of one boy, one girl and two children, into one resident unit. I will assign them immediately, and you can also make adjustments by yourselves. Among the ten resident units, if there is one child missing, a woman will be added. The remaining two women come and follow your princess Yunwen, awaiting deployment." I said.

Yunwen used the communication ability of the Yangshenmu to translate it for me. All the hyena people looked at each other, but no one objected.

So I reorganized them into units according to the method mentioned above, divided them into ten groups, and asked them if they had made any adjustments on their own. Two women did switch positions, but that didn't happen again. After all, most male hyenas could only reproduce as queens before, so other female hyenas and male hyenas were mostly strangers to each other, and had basically no objection to this distribution.

What they find incredible is that they never thought they could form a family in this way. Before, they could only have feelings for each other, but now they can finally become husband and wife in a legitimate way.

Not long after, Lingshang and Bailu also took out the food from Huahua Cave. The iron cart was filled to the brim. Bailu reported to us that after removing the smelly ones, there were a total of 32 fish, eight pieces of giant shrimp meat, 13 killer crab legs, some fruits, and a basket of potatoes that we gave away, so there were a total of 43 left.

So we counted it out, there were ten groups of residents in total, and the two single female hyenas who would follow Yunwen from now on were also counted as one group, for a total of eleven groups. So according to the ratio of three fish, half a shrimp, a crab leg, and four potatoes to each unit, all of which were taken away by the women in the family. The rest were left for our own use, and if there was less, we would make up for it with some of the extra money from others, so that it would be a reasonable arrangement.
