Females all love to be beautiful.
Seeing how beautiful Hu Jiaojiao looks wearing the jade hairpin, Hu Jing was also very moved.
Especially after she got a partner, she also wanted to make herself look prettier, so that the gossiping females in the tribe wouldn't say she was a tigress all day long. She
wanted to be a beautiful tigress!
Lu Mian'er pulled Hu Jing, "This was found by Long Mo, it's not nice for you to ask like that."
The resources found by the beastmen are usually kept privately, and they are not willing to tell other beastmen.
Hu Jing shook her head and changed the topic, "Then I'll take something to exchange with Jiaojiao. Jiaojiao, what do you want, I'll exchange it with you, okay?"
Long Mo's is Hu Jiaojiao's, just discuss it with Hu Jiaojiao directly.
Long Mo was left aside.
"No need to change." Hu Jiaojiao waved her hands, "But this stone was also discovered by Long Mo by chance. I wonder if it can be found again."
This thing is useless in the beast world except for its beauty. If there is really a jadeite stone, it is better to let other beastmen dig it out and make full use of it instead of letting the jadeite be buried in the ground in the form of a stone.
Although thinking so, Hu Jiaojiao still turned to look at Long Mo and asked for his opinion, "Long Mo, can you tell them where you found the stone?"
Long Mo glanced at Hu Jing, and thought of Hu Qingyuan who had helped him test poison... no, tested food, so he nodded readily.
He said indifferently, "I will tell Hu Qingyuan the location tomorrow."
This is an agreement.
Hu Jing grinned and raised her hand to pat Hu Jiaojiao's shoulder, but was stopped by Long Mo's eyes. Hu
Jing smiled awkwardly, with an envious expression on her face, "Your Long Mo is still useful, unlike Hu Qingyuan, who only knows how to catch these little rabbits with little meat every day. I really don't know what's in his mind..."
She lifted the rabbit in her hand and complained.
As soon as she finished speaking, the rabbit in her hand kicked its legs, as if protesting.
Hu Qingyuan, who was hunting in the forest, sneezed, "A-choo!"
"Strange, why did you sneeze suddenly..."
Hu Qingyuan muttered, and continued to squat in front of the rabbit's nest.
The next day.
Long Mo told Hu Qingyuan the location, but he went to the stone cave first to pick out a bunch of large stones, and brought them all back home and piled them outside the backyard.
Jiaojiao likes this kind of stone, so he wants to keep more for Jiaojiao to use in the future.
Although there are many stones in the stone cave, there are not many that are bigger than a washbasin. Long Mo picked the big ones away, and when Hu Qingyuan left, he could only pick the big ones from the small ones.
Once the news spread, many beastmen in the tribe knew about it.
Seeing that Hu Jiaojiao looked good wearing the jade hairpin, the females were also moved and urged their partners to find stones.
For a while, all the beastmen in the tribe went to the stone cave to pick up stones.
However, most of the stones found were real stones.
A few stones did reveal jade after being broken, but it was very laborious for them to polish them. It was difficult to make exquisite jewelry out of jade, let alone break them.
Some beastmen even broke their claws and could not polish a hairpin like Hu Jiaojiao.
In just a few days, the mood of the females was like riding a roller coaster. There were piles of jade at home, but they had no idea where to start. They could only stare at it.
Even Yingyuan couldn't do anything with jade. Hu
Qingyuan was lucky. He found a teardrop-shaped one, which was also glass-type. Although it couldn't be carved into a tiger, he asked Long Mo to help him pierce a hole and strung it with a rope for Hu Jing to hang around his neck as a necklace.
Although it was not in the shape of a little tiger, Hu Jing liked it very much.
Under normal circumstances, Long Mo would definitely not help, but who made him and Hu Qingyuan have a "deep" friendship? After his soft and hard persuasion and his promise to continue to let him taste the food in the future, Long Mo reluctantly helped.
The tribe was bustling and lively, and Hu Jiaojiao was not idle either.
Recently, Long Mo found some pomegranates in the forest. She planned to make some fruit wine with the pomegranates and grapefruits in the warehouse.
Persimmons can also be used to make wine, but now they are all made into persimmon cakes.
Hu Jiaojiao asked Long Mo to make some stone jars with better sealing properties, peeled her sleeves and pomegranates, and worked in the backyard.
Peeling the pomegranates was troublesome, so several kids brought small stools to the yard to help.
Hu Jiaojiao prepared other materials, cleaned the stone jars, dried them for later use, and then took out rock sugar and white wine from the space.
Several kids were peeling the fruits seriously, only Long Yao was drooling, and when Hu Jiaojiao was not paying attention, he peeled the pomegranate with one hand and secretly stuffed the pomegranate into his mouth with the other hand.
When Hu Jiaojiao prepared the tools and materials, she looked back.
There were still a bunch of pomegranate seeds that had been eaten clean on the pomegranate peel on the ground...
It was obviously the "credit" of the little fat boy in front of him.
"Yao'er!"
Long Yao was caught eating secretly, and he grumbled, forgetting to spit out the pomegranate seeds in his mouth, and swallowed them directly.
He covered his mouth and blinked timidly.
"Mother, Xiaowu is wrong... Xiaowu can't control his hands..."
He didn't want to eat it secretly, but his hands insisted on putting the pomegranate into his mouth.
Foxy Jiaojiao supported his forehead and picked up the little guy.
"Yao'er, you don't have to peel it, just eat it."
She put the pile of pomegranates mixed with pomegranate seeds in front of him into an animal skin and put it in his arms.
If the pomegranates peeled by Long Yao were used to soak in wine, it might be his saliva that he would drink.
Foxy Jiaojiao originally planned to give the pomegranates he peeled to himself.
Long Yao held the pomegranates with a look of surprise, "Mother, are these for Xiaowu?"
"Yes." Foxy Jiaojiao nodded.
"Thank you, mother! You are the best!"
Long Yao jumped up excitedly and went to eat the pomegranate.
The children looked at Long Yao's greedy face and shook their heads in disdain.
If they hadn't seen Long Yao's dragon body, they really doubted that this guy was not born by his mother.
How can there be such a big difference between the two cubs born from the same mother!
Without Long Yao, the cubs progressed much faster, and they peeled the pomegranates and grapefruits in a short while.
Fox Jiaojiao gave each of them a few grapefruits and pomegranates as a reward, and then started to make fruit wine.
Wash the pomegranates and grapefruits, dry them, put them into the dried stone jars, add the appropriate amount of rock sugar, pour in white wine to cover the fruits, and seal it. After leaving
it for a month, the fruit wine can be drunk.
As for why white wine is needed to make fruit wine, it is naturally because she does not know how to make pure fruit wine, and it is more troublesome to make it, so she will try this simple one first.
A stone jar can brew 20 kilograms of fruit wine.
Hu Jiaojiao brewed 10 jars of each, a total of 20 jars of fruit wine.
She moved all the jars into the warehouse, and when she came out, she saw Long Mo walking in from outside the yard, with a layer of white fragments on his hair.
Along with Long Mo came a burst of cold air.
Hu Jiaojiao's eyes lit up, "Is it snowing outside?"
Long Mo took off his animal skin and shook it off. He was afraid that the cold air on his body would chill Hu Jiaojiao, so he shook off the snow on his body before walking in, and replied in a soft voice:
"Yes, winter is coming."
