Chapter 146 Wire Drawing
The Riverside Tribe didn't have much lime and cement left.
Everyone took inventory, collected materials, and burned lime and cement again.
After the materials were ready, everyone prepared to build the arena.
Other tribes got the news and rushed over to help.
"You want to build this arena because of the cubs, so we must do something."
"That's right, you don't want us to provide materials, so let us help."
"We in the Mengshui Tribe have experience and can help with the design and construction."
"We in the Bingjiang Tribe are strong, so leave the lifting and moving to us."
"Go away, go away, it's as if any tribe is not strong enough. We are all strong, okay?"
Everyone was willing to come over to help, and the people in the Riverside Tribe were very moved and accepted everyone's help.
At the same time, the Riverside Tribe provided breakfast and dinner for the helpers, and worked hard to cook a variety of delicacies every day so that everyone could eat well.
The people who came to help were more satisfied and built more carefully.
The people of the Mengshui Tribe did have experience.
The Riverside Tribe originally only wanted to build a small arena. The people of the Mengshui Tribe carefully explained to them what size the beasts of each tribe could grow to, how much strength they could have, what strength of materials should be used, and how big the arena should be to ensure the safety of the fighters and spectators.
The people of the Riverside Tribe listened to the suggestions and revised the design plan version by version.
During this period, the stones accumulated by the Riverside Tribe were not enough.
Each tribe also contributed their accumulated stones. The Riverside Tribe wanted to exchange them with materials, but was rejected by each tribe.
The kids still have to come to the class, and memorize more materials. In the future, the Riverside Tribe will not be able to refuse their kids because of this. It
took more than ten days to build the arena.
After the arena was built, everyone stood in front of the circle of stone chairs, looking at the huge concave arena in front of them, and they were all silent.
"Isn't this a gladiatorial arena?"
"This scale, this shape, this exquisiteness - if you Riverside Tribe carve some patterns on the stone, it will be even better than the Mengshui Tribe's arena."
"It seems that even without carving patterns, this arena is still better than the Mengshui Tribe's arena, right?"
"Well, it's a little bigger and newer."
Everyone said, and looked at the people of the Mengshui Tribe.
Yun Yu was silent, and the expressions of the people of the Mengshui Tribe were also indescribable.
Dejiang looked at it and patted Yun's shoulder.
It was really hard for the people of Mengshui tribe to build the fighting arena this time.
Wu Jiong was very satisfied with the newly built arena. He patted Yun Hao on the shoulder and said, "Thank you all for your help. If you need to use the arena in the future, just say hello to us."
"Hahaha, that's a deal. Sometimes our hands are really itchy."
"If you get bored when picking up the cubs, you can come over and have a fight."
"Can the cubs take classes here? It must be very convenient to coach them in fighting here."
"You can also coach young orcs and sub-beastmen. Sometimes it's really hard to let go when coaching in the wild."
"Yes, yes, yes, if we need it, we will come to you to borrow the arena."
Jian Mo listened nearby and felt that their tribe did not build a arena, but a sports field.
But there doesn't seem to be much difference. The arena is a playground for orcs and sub-beastmen to play. After all, the beasts of each tribe are different, and they can't compete in running or something.
Fighting is almost the hard power of every tribe.
The Riverside Tribe has a new arena. Except for the Mengshui Tribe who is a little depressed, the other tribes are very happy.
Now the cubs have a place to fight and don't have to fight privately.
The cubs are also very happy. They don't have to worry about being criticized for fighting in the arena. They can finally fight freely. The cubs
look cute, but they are actually very combative.
Whether it is orcs or sub-beastmen, they all have some experience in fighting.
One day, Jian Mo saw Jiang Xing fighting with a big cat.
The little orc Jiang Xing rode on the big cat and beat it so hard that the cat almost had a nosebleed.
Jian Mo finally understood that Jiang Xing could become the leader of the cubs not because he was relatively older, but because he was really strong.
Jian Mo refreshed his understanding of the cubs.
When the cubs jumped in front of him that day, he thought they were going to fight.
Unexpectedly, the cubs ran over, looked up at Jian Mo, and said, "Brother Jian Mo, the roots of the wood lilies in the ground are about to ripen. When are you going to dig them up?"
Jian Mo had been busy these days and had not really noticed: "Are they about to ripen? I'll go and have a look."
The cubs nodded one after another. Jiang Xing said, "The leaves of the wood lilies are starting to turn yellow. We dug a little and found that the roots under the soil have grown quite big."
The kitten Banqiu stood up on its hind legs, spread its paws and gestured to Jian Mo, "Is it this big?" ——"
Seeing the serious look on the little cat's furry face and the way it stretched its claws as far as possible, Jian Mo couldn't help but smile: "Then I have to go and see if it's really that big?" When
the cubs heard him say that, they immediately pulled on his clothes and trousers: "Brother Jian Mo, do you want to go now?"
It seemed possible, Jian Mo nodded, and said with a smile: "Then go."
The cubs jumped in front and led the way, jumping over the stones in the river and walking to the fields on the other side of the river.
After the summer breeze ended, Jian Mo and the others pulled out the wooden stakes in the field and piled them on both sides of the field.
These wooden stakes can be used again next year, and can also be used to build fences, so they won't be wasted.
The little white wolf Zhoudao and the little white fox Bailu in front moved their claws and quickly dug the soil, intending to dig out the wood root inside and show it to Jian Mo.
Compared with cats, their claws are more suitable for digging the soil.
Jian Mo originally smiled as he watched the two little guys working, but when the wood root roots were exposed more, Jian Mo couldn't help but said, "Huh? It seems to be a bit big?"
When the little white wolf and the little white fox heard Jian Mo's doubtful voice, they all raised their heads and chests, looking at Jian Mo proudly.
Jian Mo didn't bother to admire their cuteness, and hurriedly walked forward, squatted down and dug the soil with his hands.
Soon he was sure that it was not an illusion, the batch of wood ding roots in the field had indeed grown very large.
He stretched out his hand to measure it, and felt that they were as thick as his thighs.
Jiang Xing said crisply beside him: "Many wood ding roots have grown very thick, not just this one."
Jian Mo dug to the side and found that it was true.
He murmured: "Is the feces of Jiujiu really so useful?"
The cubs didn't know which key word they heard, and they all said: "Jiujiu is amazing!"
It was only because Jiujiu was not there, otherwise it would know that it would be praised for pooping, and it would definitely be proud.
Jian Mo stood up and said to the kids, "Thank you. Wu Jiong and I will come over to dig tomorrow."
The kids: "Brother Jian Mo, you're welcome..."
Jian Mo smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll treat you to a delicious meal after we finish digging."
The kids were even happier and jumped around to hug Jian Mo back home.
The leaves of the wood ding root had turned yellow, and it was indeed ready to be dug.
Jian Mo specially brought Wu Jiong over to dig early the next morning.
Min Dang saw it and came over with a hoe to help.
Qing Kuang and the others heard the news and also joined in digging the wood ding root.
As they dug, they all found it incredible.
"I didn't expect the dinghies we planted to be so strong. Only the dinghies we dug in the cave last year were this thick, right?"
"This batch of dinghies is thicker and more tender."
"Really! They are so crisp and look delicious."
"It's mainly because they are easy to dig. The dinghies on the mountain grow weirder and weirder. Some even grow into the cracks of rocks."
"When you say that, I remember that I broke two stone hoes in a row that year. I'm so sad."
"It's easy to curl the blades of metal hoes now. Once the blades curl, they need to be repaired."
The dug dinghies were thick and long, and they were piled up in rows on the ridges of the fields, like piles of wood.
Everyone didn't think much of it when they started digging, but when they saw the dug dinghies, they couldn't stand it anymore. They all said they would plant more dinghies next year.
The roots of the wood tung tree are growing so well.
Qing Kuang said, "With just these roots, your family will not be short of food even if you don't go out to gather them this year."
Ye Luo looked at the flour grass next to him and said, "There is also flour grass. With so much flour grass, we can eat it for a long time after harvesting it."
As the two of them said this, everyone became more envious.
Jian Mo shook his head: "No, if we don't go out to collect, we can't stand eating the same food every day. Besides, we have Jiujiu and Yingao to raise. They eat too much, and it may not be enough."
Ye Luo: "Yeah, there are so many delicious foods outside, it would be a pity not to collect them."
Qing Kuo: "Next year, we can really plant more crops. After we get the rules, planting is indeed more convenient than collecting. We can hold a meeting to tell everyone and see if more people are interested."
Jian Mo didn't mind: "Okay, if everyone plants, you can come to our house to get fertilizer. We have saved a lot of manure now."
Qing Kuo: "You have more and more animals."
Jian Mo's family's wood roots were dug out quickly.
After everyone dug up their own wood roots, they started digging Qing Kuo's, then Min Dang's, and so on, and finally dug the tribe's.
All the ding roots are growing well, but to be honest, the ding roots from Jian Mo's family are growing the best.
I don't know if it's because of the fertilizer and watering, or if he is just good at planting, so the ding roots are growing exceptionally well.
This year's ding roots were dug too early, and they couldn't be eaten all at once, so Jian Mo and his friends transported the ding roots to a cave by the river.
The cave is underground, the temperature is relatively low, and the air is not well circulated. After Jian Mo and his friends piled up charcoal, the moisture problem was also improved.
Now the cave is like a big refrigerator, and the ding roots stored there should be able to be stored for a long time.
In order to store these precious foods, Jian Mo even took Wu Jiong to cut hay. He first put the hay on the ground, then put a layer of wood roots and then another layer of hay. This prevented the wood roots from being crushed and was also a measure to keep dry and isolated.
After finally finishing, Jian Mo kept his promise and invited the kids to his home for dinner.
There were only 23 kids in the tribe, so inviting them to dinner was not a big deal for Jian Mo and Wu Jiong.
This year, the kids went to their fields a lot to catch birds and insects. The wood roots grew so well, thanks to the kids' hard work.
After Jian Mo told the news, the cubs were very proud, their eyes sparkling: "Brother Jian Mo, what do we want to eat? Mu Ding Root?"
Jian Mo: "Yes, I'll make you a dish of Pulled Mu Ding Root."
The cubs: "Is it delicious?"
Jian Mo smiled: "I promise you will like it."
The cubs cheered.
Some time ago, after the summer breeze, Jian Mo was worried about the honey sparrows on the mountain, so he took Wu Jiong to take a look.
The honey sparrows on the mountain were in a leeward place, and their nests were indeed intact, and the honey sparrows had not suffered any damage.
Seeing them, the honey sparrows flew up very energetically, wanting to peck them all over.
Jian Mo and Wu Jiong did not show courtesy to these honey sparrows, and took a small part of the stored honey cubes from their nests.
So now Jian Mo and his friends have plenty of honey cubes, just right for making sweets.
On the day of the formal meal, the kids came early.
What was different from the past was that this time the kids brought them gifts.
Each kid brought something they wanted to give, including nuts, berries, dried meat, wreaths, edible insect pupae, etc.
Jian Mo was very surprised and found it incredible: "You brought gifts when you came?"
Jiang Xing said seriously: "We have taught you in class that friends cannot ask for things unilaterally, but also give."
The other kids nodded one after another.
Jian Mo's heart melted, and he felt that the kids had grown up in an instant: "Thank you. Come on, it's almost time to eat."
The wood ding roots had been fried in advance, and now they just needed to be fried again.
They happened to have two pots, one for frying the wood ding roots and the other for boiling sugar.
Wu Jiong asked the kids to sit down in the yard, and Jian Mo went to the kitchen to make the final preparations.
After frying the wood ding roots, Jian Mo poured the wood ding roots into the boiled syrup, stir-fried them quickly to coat them evenly, then placed the wood ding roots on a large tray, and poured a few bowls of water around the pulled wood ding roots.
Jian Mo held the chopsticks and taught the kids how to eat: "Pick up a piece of ding root, drag the sugar thread, and then dip the sugar thread in water, and you can eat it. Be careful not to scald it, and don't grab it."
The kids' table manners were still good. Jian Mo had treated them to food several times, and they didn't have the bad habit of grabbing it.
After Jian Mo finished the demonstration, the kids' eyes lit up even more.
Before they ate the ding root, the kids were not sure what it tasted like, but it must be very fun.
Jian Mo distributed chopsticks and forks to the kids: "You can eat it, eat slowly."
The human-shaped kids used chopsticks, and the beast-shaped kids used forks, and they started eating quickly.
This ding root, which was burnt on the outside, soft and doughy on the inside, and coated with a layer of sugar, was indeed very popular among the kids.
The kids were so happy eating, their mouths were full of sweetness, and they praised Jian Mo and Wu Jiong one by one.
"Brother Jian Mo, clan leader, you are so great!"
"So delicious! Brother Jian Mo, the food you make is really delicious."
"Brother Jian Mo, how do you come up with so many delicious and fun things?"
The kids chattered, and eating did not stop them from talking.
Jian Mo looked at them and said that they were all hometown dishes, so there was no need to praise them, but he couldn't help but smile all the time.
The kids finished their meal seriously, even licked the syrup clean, and then said goodbye to Jian Mo and Wu Jiong, and reluctantly went home.
Jian Mo and Wu Jiong went into the kitchen, lit a fire, fried the remaining wood ding root, made a new portion of pulled wood ding root, and brought it to feed Jiujiu and Yingao.
In terms of chasing birds, Jiujiu and Yingao also made a lot of contributions. Now that the harvest has come, they naturally have to take part in the food.
Jiujiu has been trapped in the nest and has been hungry for a long time.
Now seeing Jian Mo and Wu Jiong, he is so excited that he wants to jump up.
Jian Mo sees that it is going to use its head to push him, and quickly puts up his arms to block it: "Okay, okay, aren't I here to feed you?"
Jiujiu: "Jiu!"
Jian Mo feeds Jiujiu, and Wu Jiong feeds Yingao.
No mammal can resist the temptation of sugar and fried food, not even Jiujiu. Jiujiu and Yingao eat them one by one very happily.
Thanks to Jian Mo and Wu Jiong who control the temperature, they were not scalded.
While feeding Jiujiu, Jian Mo talked about the cubs, saying that it felt like the cubs had grown up in an instant.
Usually, Jiujiu would raise his ears to listen to news from his friends, but now, when he heard the key words, he just moved his ears and didn't take it seriously at all. Instead, he kept chirping, urging Jianmo to move faster, and rubbed Jianmo with his head.
Jianmo couldn't help but pat it: "Jiujiu, you are such a big glutton."
Jiujiu nudged Jianmo with his head and jumped two steps on the spot: "Jiujiu!" Still want to eat!
