"Why are you here so early?"
Shuxin said, "It's getting late. We need to peel the corn husks as soon as possible today. It won't be good if it gets damp!" The corn from both families was put together.
"Then let's eat quickly." Wen Te went into the house and called Shu Yue.
Shu Yue found that she could accept it. After a good night's sleep, she found that she was not so disgusted by what happened last night.
After breakfast, the four of them went down to the cellar to peel corn husks. The workload was huge, and four people might not be able to finish it in a day.
Rhett informed Barron in advance that he would not go hunting today and would take care of housework first.
Shu Xin looked at the corn cellar and frowned. "Actually, we harvested the corn too late. We should have harvested it half a month earlier. After drying the corn thoroughly, it would be easier to grind it into flour and store it."
Shu Yue sighed and said, "We found the corn too late. This is the only way this year. Let's prepare early next year!"
"Well, I hope the corn won't be too damp after the rainy season." Shu Xin didn't have any good solutions now.
The two males don’t understand either, so they just work hard.
Jiaojiao was originally going to come find Shuyue today, but the tribe leader issued an order to peel all the corn husks within a day. There was no other choice. Except for the orcs who went hunting, everyone else was peeling corn husks today...
However, there is strength in numbers. With the two-shift meal arrangement, all the corn in the hole was peeled out within a day.
The corn husks are piled outside and planned to be dried and used as firewood. They burn much better than wood and are perfect for the rainy season.
Everyone was busy all day, the females had sore backs from sitting, and the mud on their hands had to be washed off several times. The females were all tired, so they filled their stomachs at night and went to bed early.
Only in large tribes like the Warrior Tribe can the tribesmen eat meat twice a day. For ordinary small tribes, if they can eat one full meal a day, it is a great harvest.
Shu Yue and the others eat whenever they are hungry, which can be said to be the aristocratic life of the orc world.
…
night.
"Ouch, Wente, please massage my waist. It's a little sore." Shu Yue lay on the bed motionless.
Wen Te stretched out his hand to rub her, and said distressedly: "I told me to let me come, but you refused to listen. You must be tired."
Shu Yue felt very comfortable being rubbed. She closed her eyes and said, "If I don't help, how can I finish peeling the corn today? What if it rains tomorrow? The corn husks won't dry out, and the cellar will be filled with an unpleasant damp smell!"
Wente had nothing to say but to be careful and harvest the corn earlier next year. He did the work secretly by himself.
"Yueyue, I'm going hunting tomorrow. You rest at home. Tell me what kind of meat you want to eat and I'll bring it back for you."
Shu Yue groggily responded, "Let's catch a few chickens and make some soup. It would be even better if we could catch them alive. We can keep them in the yard so they'll be more convenient to eat during the rainy season. Oh, and there are also wild vegetables. I haven't eaten vegetables in the past few days and I'm a little tired of them."
Wen Te agreed to all of them, thinking about how to catch him alive, while Shu Yue had already fallen asleep during the massage.
Seeing this, he could only sigh regretfully. He was too busy these days. He would have time when the rainy season comes.
——
The weather changed the next day. The dark clouds in the sky covered the sun, and the air was extremely hot and stuffy. It was unusually dry and a little damp.
This is very uncomfortable.
Shu Yue asked: "Is the rainy season coming?"
Wente looked at the sky and said, "No, it won't rain until tomorrow. We'll catch more prey today and come back later." This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
