Chapter 267
With his biggest worry resolved, Yu Sui finally didn't have to dwell on the confession and he could concentrate on his work.
Xiao and Yuanyuan were watching over the small orcs. He found a few argali and snow wolves to enclose a piece of land near the tribe, preparing to plant rice seedlings first.
Yu Sui remembered that in his previous life, in order to make the seedlings thrive, farmers would build a plastic greenhouse, which could ensure sufficient sunlight and prevent damage from wind and rain. It was very practical.
Especially in the north, there might be a late spring cold snap at any time. Yu had experienced this several times. Even in April or May, there would be a sudden frost or hail, catching people off guard. Many farmers had lost all their belongings because of this natural disaster.
People who have never farmed may not be able to imagine it. They always think that farming is just a little harder, but in fact, the risks of farming are greater than doing business. In modern society, technology and agriculture are so developed, but there are still people who invest a lot of their property in the land. The risks are similar to stocks.
The area where the Heitu tribe is located is similar to the north, or even a little colder. It has become colder several times since the beginning of spring, but fortunately there has not been any outrageous weather this year.
There are not many warm places in the Fantasy Continent. The Elf Forest is a place favored by God and is warm like spring all year round.
Other places are not so wonderful. The area around Heitu Tribe is still good, after all, it is not far from the sea. If you go further north, the temperature will only get lower and lower.
The white bear tribe and the silver fox tribe that Yu Sui met in the Red Grass Tribe all lived in extremely cold areas. There were not many green plants there, let alone farming.
Although the location of the Golden Kingdom is not as advantageous as that of the Elf Forest, it is not too cold and it firmly guards the coastline on the other side.
There is no plastic here, so Yu Sui led his tribesmen to plant rice first, secretly praying that there would be no strange weather this year, so that the Heitu tribe could also experience the sweetness of farming.
It was indeed unsafe without a greenhouse. He originally wanted to build one with glass, but he considered that the workload would be too huge. The dwarves already had a lot of work to do, and it would not be good to assign them more work and exhaust them.
The tools and paper (mainly toilet paper) needed by the tribe, as well as tasks such as brick-making, are mainly done by the dwarves. Such delicate work is difficult for the orcs to accept.
For example, when making bricks, the method of making brick blanks is simple, even cubs can do it. However, the task of controlling the temperature when making bricks is more difficult. There are no modern instruments for measuring temperature. It all depends on the dwarves' many years of forging experience. If it were someone else, the bricks would crack in minutes.
He stared at the rice seeds in the field that had not yet sprouted, feeling a little worried. He couldn't think of a solution for a moment, so he cast natural magic on these hundreds of acres of land. Such large-scale magic was not very powerful, but it could awaken the vitality of the seeds in the greatest range, and the germination rate would increase a lot.
After working hard with the tribesmen to sow seeds for a few days, Yu Sui's waist was sore. Fortunately, the Snow Wolf was in good health. If he had the same health as when he was a worker, he would have been working in the fields long ago.
There was no way. It was the orcs' first time farming, and they couldn't even get the size right for the first step of sowing seeds. Either there were too many or too few.
Although it was Yu Sui's first time to farm with his own hands, he grew up in the countryside and had seen pigs run even though he had never eaten pork. Sowing seeds looked simple, but if he sowed too much, the seedlings would not grow big, and if he sowed too sparsely, it would waste land.
He had no choice but to take the lead and demonstrate in front. When the beastmen followed behind to sow seeds, he still had to run around anxiously to watch.
These days, the little black cat Maomao would always appear when he was working. At first, he was cautious and stayed away from him. Later, when he saw that no one paid attention to him, he let down his guard and moved not far from Yu Sui, sitting there and watching openly.
Yu Sui always pretended not to see anything and tacitly allowed him to squat there and watch. Cats are really strange creatures. If you are enthusiastic, they will dislike it. If you ignore them, they will tease you again. It is best to keep your distance and let them have their own space, but they can still harass you at any time.
Maomao hasn't started making trouble yet, but in Yu Sui's opinion, it's just a matter of time. Didn't he dare to get so close while working? This is the first small orc who has come so close. The other orcs are still in a state of frightened birds and will be startled by the slightest movement, not to mention taking the initiative to contact the people of the Black Map tribe.
Yu Sui rubbed his waist and found it particularly funny to think of the little black cat whose eyes followed his hand. A cub is a cub. After going through so many things, its curiosity is still so strong.
As a cat lover, he was very familiar with the mean and arrogant look of cats. Maomao was already an obedient type, at least he didn't dig out the seeds later.
However, the small orcs also have their advantages. Because their own strength is not strong, their tribes are more closely united and more careful.
Just like cutting potatoes, the Snow Wolf Clan is very strong, but Yu Sui feels more at ease using small orcs to do this kind of work.
Passing by the dwarves' houses, amid the clanging sounds, a few dwarves were not forging, but were instead using various tools to stir yellow-white slurry, and the doorway was filled with bamboo curtains for drying in the sun.
This is papermaking. The population of the tribe suddenly doubled. Not to mention food, even the consumption of straw paper is more than usual. Orcs are not fools. Of course they will abandon leaves if there is useful straw paper.
An idea flashed through his mind, and Yu Sui slammed his palm. He felt so stupid. Couldn't paper also be used as a trading item? He just couldn't believe that anyone would choose leaves over toilet paper!
Moreover, if the Golden Kingdom wants to continue, it will definitely learn writing. He can also sell them good paper, which is better than using that damn parchment scroll. That thing needs to be soaked in the preservative made by the pharmacist for many days before it can be used. It is expensive and troublesome, and not many words can be written on a thick scroll.
Yu Suiguang thought of selling the produced paper to humans, and forgot that he could also trade it with the Golden Kingdom. The main reason was that he had never thought of doing business with the kingdom he hated before.
This should be feasible, Yu Sui thought, stroking his chin. No one can refuse a roll of toilet paper when going to the toilet.
But he thought about it carefully and decided that besides asking Qi, it would be best to wait for Uncle Heiyan to come back and discuss the feasibility together. He was a little afraid that taking out something like paper would cause trouble.
Just look at the situation of the small orcs and you will know that the Golden Kingdom is definitely not a good country.
Anyway, his sorghum wine is equally attractive. At worst, he can use white wine to trade with the kingdom, and keep the paper for doing business with humans. No matter how evil the humans are, they can't bring them to the Dream Continent. At most, they can smuggle some mercenaries in, but they are not enough to fill the teeth of the snow werewolves.
