Chapter 49
Qi was interrupted by Xu before he could open his mouth to say anything. He glanced at Xu with disgust.
After looking at the tribesmen's reactions, he calmed down and said to Yu Sui, "I also think Yu Sui is very suitable to be the tribe leader. Since he..."
After a pause, Qi continued, "Whether it's food or housing, he has considered everything for us in the long term. I believe he will lead us to a better life."
"That's right, the food we eat now isn't much better than before. For this reason alone, I support Xiao Yu Sui as the clan leader."
The heartless foodie Ashan spoke carelessly, and Yu Sui didn't know for a moment whether he should be touched by his friend's support or speechless.
Vanilla, whose expression remained unchanged, also arched her eyebrows and curled the corners of her lips into a smile.
"There's also wool and felt. We can make our own cloth in the future, so both the elderly and the cubs can spend a warmer winter."
This impressed the tribesmen, even the wealthy dwarves.
Although they were wealthy, they were not good at making a living and were controlled by human caravans. They were even almost captured as a whole clan because of this.
Now think about it, I can live in such a comfortable house, eat delicious and convenient meals, make my own cloth, and most importantly, Yu Sui can brew even more delicious wine...
The dwarves had no idea why they refused to let Yu Sui be the patriarch, and they were even a little impatient!
After Yu Sui became the tribe leader, their chances of drinking good wine became greater. In the past, they were always embarrassed to ask the orc cubs for wine.
As for the snow werewolves, food and clothing are one thing, but they have been brainwashed by the cubs and also want to live in a warm house like Yu Sui's. Once he becomes the chief, they won't have to worry about these things.
"Qi and Xiao Yu Sui are a couple and will definitely side with him, but they are not wrong."
A young male snow werewolf wearing simple animal skin clothing said.
"I just think that Yuyu is too young. It's too tiring to have such a young cub be the clan leader. His health is not good yet."
This is an older female snow werewolf.
"If you think Xiaoyu can come up with so many good ideas now, he will definitely be smarter in the future."
The dwarves also began to communicate with each other.
"Although he is an orc, he is also very talented in blacksmithing..."
"My father always said that if Brother Yu Sui wasn't an orc, he must be the messenger of the God of Craftsmen."
Little Hank also joined the group of adults and seriously participated in the discussion.
"The adults were talking and the children were playing around. But it does look very similar. How could anyone think of making paper out of straw? It's truly a great invention."
"Wool is also very useful! We tried knitting clothes today. Although it's not finished yet, it's softer than cotton and thick and warm!"
Barlow, who finally found a place to use his skills, excitedly shared it with his tribesmen.
"Aside from being young and finding a partner early, he has no other drawbacks, so it's fine for him to be the clan leader."
Yu Sui heard what the dwarf and the snow werewolf said. His embarrassment disappeared, leaving only the corners of his mouth twitching silently.
Can this group of people be more reliable? They have to involve such a serious matter with his emotional issues. It's really a headache.
When Yu Sui thought about leading this group of people to build their home in the future, he felt both amused and angry.
Seeing that the tribesmen had almost finished their discussion, Heiyan coughed loudly to signal everyone to be quiet.
He and Bombur exchanged a glance before he said, "If you all think Xiaoyu Sui can be our clan leader, please raise your hands. If you disagree, don't raise your hands."
After hesitating for a moment, everyone raised their arms, and Notting and the others in the front raised their hands in agreement.
When Yu Sui saw the warm smiles Xu, Qi, Xiangcao and others gave him, as well as the encouraging looks from other familiar tribesmen, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart and was speechless for a moment.
How could he be loved by so many people? Not long ago, he was just a humble office worker, shuttling between high-rise buildings every day, and his only spiritual comfort was various novels.
He is not good at all. He is ordered around by his boss every day, which has devastated him and completely lost the pride he had when he was studying.
But after coming here, he saw everyone's love for him, and they praised him generously whenever he made something.
This might be a kind of compensation for his untimely death. With a sense of pride rising in his chest, Yu Sui secretly made up his mind to lead his people to live a good life.
"Then what should our tribe be called? The previous name can't be used anymore."
asked a dwarf, who was more careful and thought of this question first.
For a moment, countless eyes were staring at Yu Sui, and he opened his eyes wide, at a loss.
The first test as the new clan leader came so soon. The lofty ambitions he had just felt disappeared without a trace. Yu Sui held his chin and thought hard.
The Snow Wolf Tribe is accustomed to naming itself after its chief. He couldn't call it the Yu Sui Tribe, as it would sound weird.
As for the name of the dwarven tribe, he had asked curiously before, and Uncle Robert told him that Tu was the name of the tenth-generation grandson of the third son of the God of Craftsmen...
An idea suddenly struck him, and he clapped his hands and said happily, "Let's call it the Black Map Tribe."
This way everyone has a sense of belonging. He is really smart, Yu Sui thought complacently.
Naturally, the tribesmen had no objection and accepted the name well.
After discussing the successor to the clan leader, I happened to have dinner in the cafeteria with my friends.
Except for Yu Sui, the two chiefs did not call other snow wolf cubs over. The orc cubs were not as mentally mature as those of other races, so it was meaningless to call them over.
So the original owner is actually a rare flower among the orcs. She understands love at the age of thirty and chases after Qi every day. No wonder she can't play with other cubs.
Without someone to talk to, he might have ended up depressed. Otherwise, why did he become so crazy in the original book? Alas, it's not good to be too precocious.
When Xiaochu and his friends came over after playing for a day, Yu Sui and his friends had almost finished their meal.
After hearing the discussions of the people around him, he realized that his brother had become the clan leader. He was even more excited than Yu Sui and jumped up and down on the spot.
Yu Sui let him have fun with a smile on his face, and only reminded him not to bump into others and then left him alone.
Since he has become the clan leader, as the saying goes, a new official has to make three big moves when taking office. When facing the simple clan members, Yu Sui does not need to find fault with them and can just get down to business.
The most important task in the tribe now is to make felt. After several months of getting along, Yu Sui has a general understanding of who is more suitable for this job and has silently decided on the candidate in his mind.
Seeing that he remained silent, Xu and others at the same table thought that he was worried about not being able to perform well as the clan leader, and began to rack their brains to think about how to comfort him.
No one at this table was good at comforting others. Xu added a pile of shredded meat to him and ruffled Yu Sui's hair with a bright smile.
Yu Sui withdrew his thoughts from his mind and pulled Xu's hand down in dissatisfaction.
Everything here is good, except that the tribesmen like to touch his head. He has always been worried about his height. What if he becomes shorter because of their touching?
"You are already very capable, don't worry too much." Xu said with a smile.
It turned out that they were worried that he was under pressure. Yu Sui was about to explain that he was just distracted when Qi next to him came closer to him, picked up a piece of stewed tofu with chopsticks and covered the shredded meat with it unnoticeably.
"You can call me if you have any problems. Don't be afraid." His deep voice sounded in Yu Sui's ears, making them itch.
"I'm not worried about that. I'm thinking about who will be responsible for making the felt. We don't have much animal hair every day now, so we can just find two people for now. When we have more prey and more animal hair in the future, we can add more people then."
Seeing that everyone was worried about him, Yu Sui quickly explained.
So that's how it is. Everyone withdrew their worried looks.
"Xiao Yu, let me make the felt. It happens that after I come back from hunting and process the furs every day, I can also make the felt. I have already learned it!"
Notting applied enthusiastically to Yu Sui. After trying it himself yesterday, he was very interested in the process of making felt.
Just imagine that a pile of messy animal hair becomes a whole piece of felt in his hands. How proud it is.
There are many tribesmen eagerly waiting to grab this job, and if he doesn't act soon, it will not be his turn.
Fortunately, he and Xiao Yu were closer, Notting thought happily.
At this time, the snow wolves with sensitive ears were already staring at him secretly. Many people simply ran to Yu Sui without eating, and followed Notting's example to apply to Yu Sui to make felt.
I didn't expect everyone to be so enthusiastic about this job. In fact, with the strength of the Snow Werewolves, Yu Sui only needs to find two people to complete this task.
The group of snow werewolves were just about to wag their tails. In Yu Sui's eyes, they looked like a group of dogs waiting to be fed with big bones.
But since Notting has applied, it wouldn't be a bad idea to let him be one of them.
In addition, Yu Sui picked out the candidate he had already thought of, a male snow werewolf named Yuan, and asked them to be responsible for making the felt in the future.
The remaining snow werewolves left dejectedly.
I still don't understand their passion for work. Isn't this just overtime? I'm actually disappointed that I didn't get selected.
But now he is the chief of the tribe, and it is better to face a group of people who are passionate and active about their work than to face lazy ones.
Now he can finally think from the boss's perspective. His thinking has indeed changed, and he also prefers employees who take the initiative to work overtime.
The newly promoted Zhou Paopi Yu Sui looked at his clansmen with satisfaction, feeling that each of them was an excellent employee.
Of course, the dwarf also wanted to join in this work. After all, making felt by hand gives one a great sense of accomplishment.
Unfortunately, he was too short and couldn't squeeze past the snow werewolf.
Yu Sui also thought that it would be more appropriate to let the snow werewolves do the work of felt rolling, so he did not consider the dwarves.
However, he was a fair-minded chieftain, so he left tools like spinning machines and bamboo curtains for making felt to the dwarves, after all, they each had their own strengths.
After these instructions were given, everyone felt satisfied and had no objections.
Looking at Xiao Yu Sui, who already had the demeanor of a patriarch, Hei Yan and Bang Bo, who were sitting beside him, felt very relieved.
When they first made this decision, they didn't know whether it was right or wrong. It was really a helpless move.
After all, Yu Sui is the only suitable candidate. Even though he is younger, the two of them still made up their minds. Now it seems that their decision was correct.
Although he became the clan leader without knowing why, Yu Sui's daily life did not change much.
For fear that he would have difficulty getting started at the beginning, the two uncles, Heiyan and Bombur, continued to help him manage the affairs of the tribe.
Teach him little by little. Actually, there is not much to do in a tribe with only 400 people in total.
It’s nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation, there are not too many trivial things.
Things like hunting and patrolling will be arranged according to the previous plan and will be allocated separately when farming starts next year.
The dwarf tribe has already handed in the number of weapons it is required to hand in every year. Now every dwarf forges items according to his own preferences. The chief does not care whether they use them for exchange or for their own use.
Therefore, the systems of the two tribes are actually similar. As long as the tribe members complete the collective tasks of the tribe, the items they obtain in the remaining time will belong to them, and Yu Sui has no intention of changing this rule.
Now that they have merged into one tribe, the previous assets of the two tribes should also be merged together.
Uncle Heiyan brought Yu Sui to a huge cave where food and furs were stored. It was Yu Sui's first time to come to this cave.
I had only heard Xu and Notting talk about it before. It was said that after he discovered that river fish could be used as food, there was a fishy smell in the cave.
Today, I followed Uncle Heiyan into the cave, and just as Notting said, the cave was filled with the fishy smell of various monster meats mixed with the smell of fish, and a slightly rotten stench.
The strong mixed smell made Yu Sui stumble backward as soon as he entered the cave.
Heiyan took out two pieces of fur that he had prepared in advance, and the two men covered their noses with them before walking in.
The snow wolves knew that fresh meat would rot quickly if placed directly in the cave.
So they always dried the meat and then stored it in caves.
But they didn't have enough coarse salt to pickle the meat, so they just dried the meat into jerky.
This year, at Yu Sui’s suggestion, we also added dried fish and dried shrimp.
Without salt, the food will inevitably rot a little, and the mixture of various rotten odors is indeed amazing.
However, the Snow Wolves do choose their locations, and this cave is about the same distance from the tribe as the training ground.
The huge naturally formed cave was filled with dried meat and dried fish with their eyes wide open.
The furs were piled at the other end, all processed and ready for trading.
This year the food was plentiful, and the huge cave was almost full.
Uncle Heiyan looked at the cave full of food and said with satisfaction, "If we exchange some more food this year, our tribesmen won't starve."
Yu Sui looked at Uncle Heiyan in horror. With so much food in the cave and the grain, wouldn’t the Snow Wolf be hungry?
He suddenly thought of the snow wolf's appetite and realized that it was too early for him to be confident about his ability to take on the position of clan leader.
It is really stressful to feed these gluttonous snow werewolves, and it takes some skills.
However, when it comes to eating, his racial genes will never allow him to lose to others.
It’s just that the snow wolves have a big appetite and they are also very strong. If we plow more fields and grow more crops next year, I believe we won’t be able to feed them.
