Chapter 278
After eating the delicious food, the tribesmen worked harder, and no one was lazy.
After hearing that bamboo shoots could be stewed with meat, Ashan cleaned up the cafeteria after everyone had finished their meal and then asked Notting to dig bamboo shoots.
Yu Sui was worried that he didn't recognize what bamboo shoots looked like, and that he might dig up some inedible ones, which would be a waste of energy and time.
Lanluos and he dug for a long time and already recognized the appearance of bamboo shoots, so Yu Sui asked him to go with them. Once Ashan and the other two knew which ones were edible, he wouldn't have to go next time.
Lanluos was a little reluctant, but after looking at Yu Sui, he agreed and took Ashan and Notting towards the bamboo forest.
"What we're going to eat for lunch today is the small bamboo that Ashan mentioned. You've found a new food again." Qi lowered his eyes and smiled at Sui.
"It's bamboo shoots, what the hell is little bamboo?" Yu Sui complained. He was really impressed by the orcs' naming method. It was either little ground bean or little bamboo.
"Okay, bamboo shoots." Qi changed his words quickly.
He held Yu Sui in his arms and asked gently, "I heard that you took the cubs out to play. Why didn't you wait for me to join you?"
Ever since seeing Shuyu off, Qi's actions have become more intimate. Yu Sui was a little uncomfortable with it for a while, especially since there were other people not far away, as if they were showing off their affection.
"I suddenly remembered that I haven't been out and about for a long time. I finally had a free day, so I took them out for a walk. It's a good opportunity to add some new dishes to the tribe. We'll even have shepherd's purse dumplings tonight."
Qi couldn't help but laugh, "If you make more delicious food, the tiger tribe won't want to leave."
"It's not that exaggerated." Yu Sui couldn't help laughing. When the Tiger Clan warriors ate in the cafeteria on the first day, they really looked like they had been hungry for many days. And they looked strangely familiar...
"Yeah, look at Blue and Jerry. If they didn't want to tell Chief Xiuer the trick of digging a well, they probably wouldn't want to leave." Qi lowered his voice and said in his ear.
His ears were itchy. Although the two of them were talking about serious things, Yu Sui always felt embarrassed. He reached out and gently pushed Qi who was too close.
"I'm going to find Barlow. The public restroom still has a lot of iron pipes and squat toilets left to build. I plan to use the burned bricks to build a paper mill and have small orcs make paper, especially straw paper. The more people there are, the more we need."
Yu Sui just took the opportunity to tell Qi about his plan.
Qi then stepped back a little, but still held Yu Sui in his arms. He pondered for a moment, "You're right. The dwarves have too much work lately. It's not a problem for small orcs to make paper. We can just find a dwarf to teach them."
There are suddenly so many small orcs in the tribe, we should really find some jobs for them.
"Oh right," Yu Sui suddenly thought of the trade. "I've also thought about using straw paper to trade with Dahua and the others, but I'm a little worried that the Golden Kingdom might have ulterior motives. After all, paper once sparked a revolution... Sigh, I shouldn't have used straw paper for Dahua and the others."
Even if they didn't trade for straw paper, the Black Map Tribe's straw paper had been used by the Tiger Clan warriors for several days. If they wanted to inform on the matter, they would definitely not be able to escape.
Yu Sui felt a little regretful for his negligence. At this moment, a warm hand fell on his head and Qi's voice reached his ears.
"I don't blame you. Even if we don't give them the paper, they'll definitely notice it if we use it frequently ourselves. It won't be a big deal if they find out about the straw paper, but try not to let them see the good writing paper. The Golden Kingdom and humans are deeply involved, so they'll definitely be tempted by the paper, and it might really bring disaster to the tribe."
Yu Sui also understood the principle of being guilty of possessing a treasure and nodded heavily. "Although Dahua seems to be more reasonable, we must be careful when it comes to interests."
Qi was right. Even if the tiger tribe was not given the straw paper, the tribesmen would still need it. The tiger tribe would stay in the tribe for a while, and one day they would discover it.
"We can trade straw paper with them. I'll go talk to Dahua this afternoon. Even if the tiger tribe doesn't need it, the human caravan will definitely be willing to trade with straw paper." Qi touched the cub's slightly depressed face soothingly.
"I was a little too anxious to add more goods to the tribe. Actually, there is no need to be so anxious. We need to proceed steadily and develop first." Yu Sui sighed. From childhood to adulthood, he had never even been a squad leader, and now he became the chief of the tribe. There were some things he had not thought through carefully enough.
Qi kissed his forehead and comforted him, "Take your time. You are already very capable. When my father first became the clan leader, he was so worried that he couldn't sleep for a long time. In comparison, you are much more capable than him."
Yu Sui was amused. Who would talk about their father like that? In order to comfort him, Qi tried his best.
However, he had to admit that his depressed mood suddenly eased a lot. It turned out that the mature and steady Uncle Kuroiwa also had this side of him. If what Qi said was true, then his psychological quality was indeed a little stronger than Uncle Kuroiwa.
"Okay, then I'll go find Barlow. Don't you want to find Dahua too? Let's go!"
Yu Sui cheered up, gathered himself together, and said to Qi.
Sometimes he didn't know whether his partner was responsible for the tribe or not. Qi thought helplessly that Yu Sui was so busy every day and he himself was not idle either, which resulted in the two of them having very little time to spend together.
When his father was the chief, he didn't feel that the tribe had so many complicated things to do. Now that it was his friend's turn to be the chief, why was it so busy? He sighed deeply.
It's a good thing that his partner is capable, but Qi feels distressed. Although Yu Sui is not ready to explain his previous life to him, Qi has always treated him as a young cub. In his heart, no matter how old his partner was before, he is still a little guy who still needs care.
Seeing that Yu Sui was thinking about a lot every day, working hard for the tribe, and always running around, Qi was worried that he was exhausted.
"Let's go." Unable to refuse Yu Suiqi, he finally said this.
Yu Sui is a former hard-working worker. Although he always says that he doesn't want to work, he is actually very dedicated to his work. This character prevents him from giving up without any scruples.
This is even more so after becoming the clan leader. When Yu Sui thinks about the food, clothing, housing and transportation of so many people being on his shoulders, it is hard for him not to be anxious, and he wishes he could finish all the things at once.
However, he only had two hands and could not treat his tribesmen like beasts of burden, so he had to take things step by step slowly. Fortunately, the Heitu tribe was now on the rise, and Yu Sui could at least feel relieved that his hard work was not in vain.
…
"Paper mill?" Barlow asked in confusion, holding up the hammer.
Yu Sui stood in front of him and said, "Yes, this is also to reduce the workload of the dwarves."
