Chapter 342 You're back so quickly?
Suo gave Jiang Xi an apologetic look.
"Madam, I'm going to catch up with the piglets now."
After saying that, Suo hurriedly chased after the three big fat pigs and ran into the woods.
Jiang Xi stood there, the cold morning wind blowing, making her feel a little disheveled.
Three little pigs.
You call these three fat pigs, each as tall as me, little pigs?
The beastmen quickly replied, "Suo is better at raising pigs, so he's been raising the three little pigs all along."
In fact, all the beastmen wanted to be the herders of the Three Little Pigs.
But for some reason, the three little pigs only liked Sol, and only Sol could let them out in the morning and bring them back in the evening.
Others also competed for the opportunity to raise three piglets.
But without exception, they couldn't make it back that night, and some even almost got lost.
Over time, So became the herdsman of the Three Little Pigs.
Jiang Xi listened to the beastmen's words, unsure how to respond.
Finally, she said something dryly.
"Let So come to me and collect another paycheck."
At this moment, Duan Si suddenly spoke.
"Those two brownish-yellow striped ones look like they're pregnant."
Jiang Xi turned to look at him, her pupils dilating in shock.
"You watch this?"
Duan Si: "..."
He pursed his lips. "I sensed a discrepancy in the space."
Jiang Xi remained silent.
That sounds so sophisticated and highbrow.
The beastmen scratched their heads.
Are you pregnant?
“A pig over there gave birth to a litter of piglets a couple of days ago. It seemed to happen quite quickly. Should we prepare some extra food for Yiyi and Er'er?”
Jiang Xi fell silent again.
Finally, she spoke up.
"Well, raise these three pigs the same way you would raise other pigs. There's no need to hire a special animal husbander to raise them, so as not to increase the burden of raising them."
Kylian was completely baffled by their way of raising the animals for quite some time.
He couldn't help but nod.
"Yeah, in the end they all have to be eaten, right? If you raise them like little beastmen cubs, how are you going to eat them later?"
The orcs glared at him for his unrestrained speech.
"What do you know! This is a female piglet! Not an ordinary pig!"
Killian: "He's so fat, he's not small at all."
Jiang Xi wanted to laugh, but seeing the beastmen's serious expressions, she held back.
Nakan suppressed a laugh, thinking that Kylian made a lot of sense.
Jiang Xi coughed and spoke again.
“Raise these three piglets the same way you would raise other pigs.”
The beastmen observed the female envoy's expression repeatedly, and seeing that she seemed serious, they thought for a moment and nodded.
"Then let's expand the shed where the three little pigs live."
In that case, other orcs can be arranged to raise them, instead of having to be taken over.
Whoever raises these three piglets will gain favor with the female empress.
The beastmen pondered and each wanted to arrange for their most outstanding-looking junior beastman to be raised.
Jiang Xi: "No need to expand it too much... just raise them all the same."
She was practically talking herself hoarse.
But while the beastmen nodded outwardly, they always believed in their hearts that the three piglets of the female were the worst of the worst.
After looking at the three big fat pigs, Jiang Xi looked at the pigs, cows and sheep in the other sheds.
She offered some suggestions that she knew the answers to.
"Cattle and sheep can graze freely, but they should be herded back into the shed at night. Pigs, however, shouldn't be allowed to graze freely; once released, they might not be found..."
"Boil cow's milk and goat's milk to sterilize them before drinking. Save pig's milk for the piglets; it's not suitable for beastmen and females..."
"Keep the manure; it can be used as fertilizer when planting vegetables, fruits, or other crops later..."
In fact, feces can also ferment to produce biogas, which can be used for starting fires, lighting, and so on.
Unfortunately, Jiang Xi didn't know how to do it.
If a suitable opportunity arises in the future, I can look into it.
The beastmen nodded in agreement.
Seeing that the aquaculture business was developing well, Jiang Xi asked about the planting business as well.
The place where the vegetables were grown wasn't far from here, and the beastmen took her to see it.
But then, Jiang Xi fell silent.
Compared to animal husbandry, the situation in agriculture is simply appalling.
She looked at the withered and dead plants in the soil, and remained silent for a long time.
What to do? She's not good at growing vegetables either.
Let's send someone to the Giant Rabbit Tribe to learn from them.
The beastmen who were planting vegetables were also silent.
They hadn't expected the female messenger to come so early.
Suddenly, some orcs carrying baskets ran out of the forest.
"Here it comes! The taro is here!"
"The shepherd's purse is here!"
"The potatoes are here!"
"The winter melon is here!"
But soon, the beastmen carrying baskets froze at the edge of the forest.
Because they saw Jiang Xi.
They nervously took two steps back, trying to hide the muddy vegetables in the basket.
Jiang Xi remained silent.
She instantly understood their plan.
Even the most authentic way of growing vegetables has turned into fake vegetable growing!
The orc planting vegetables next to Jiang Xi looked embarrassed.
If the female had arrived a day or two later, she would have seen the fields overflowing with all sorts of vegetables...
Jiang Xi coughed, pretending not to have noticed their intentions.
"Going to the woods to pick vegetables so early?"
"There must be plenty of vegetables in the woods this time of year, right?"
The beastmen nodded quickly.
"Yes, yes, we're going to pick vegetables."
To ease the tension, Jiang Xi drew tea leaves in the soil for them.
"If you see this in the forest, you can tell me. It's something that can be steeped in water and drunk. It's suitable for all ages when mixed with milk."
The beastmen nodded in agreement, already drenched in sweat.
Seeing that they were tense, as if they were afraid of being discovered doing something wrong, Jiang Xi stopped lingering and turned to leave.
After she left, the beastmen all raised their hands to wipe the sweat from their foreheads.
"That was close!"
"The female envoy almost discovered it."
Then, they became distressed again.
"Growing vegetables is so difficult!!"
Why can't vegetables be like pigs, cows, and sheep, eating on their own when they're hungry?!
One of the orcs chuckled, "If you're really hungry, then eat yourself. Then it'll be our turn to eat!"
"Let's ask the beastmen in the Giantwood Forest!"
Jiang Xi sat on Yi Yuexi's back and left the breeding and planting area.
Haisia wanted to offer some help, so she said.
"Perhaps we could try growing these vegetables in water?"
"There are also many edible vegetables in the water, and they grow very lushly."
Jiang Xi gave him a look as if he were an idiot.
A prince is a prince, a prince who doesn't concern himself with worldly affairs.
What's the difference between planting terrestrial plants in water and letting terrestrial orcs live in water?
Nakan opened his mouth instead.
"Are you stupid? You'll drown like an orc."
A hint of embarrassment appeared on Haisia's face.
"It seems so, it seems so too."
Standing on the hillside, looking down, you can see the entire Lion Roar tribe at a glance.
The reddish-brown walls divide the world in two, one half blood-red, the other a bewitching green.
Beneath the high walls, rows of gray-white stone houses are scattered in a well-organized manner. A statue stands tall in the center of the village. By the babbling river, the large stone castle is very conspicuous. On the stone-paved riverside path, people come and go, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
Suddenly, a burst of golden light erupted from the blood-red ground outside the high walls.
At the same time, a sharp whistling sound came through the light screen and echoed over the Lion Roar Tribe.
Nafiel tilted his head, looked at the burst of golden light, and pursed his lips.
"Fengshan..."
