Chapter 297 Getting Busy
When Ruan Mianmian stepped out of her house and her eyes fell on the mountain of thank-you gifts piled up on the floor, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
She raised an eyebrow slightly, a slightly surprised smile playing on her lips, and said, "Wow, the lion clan really knows how to handle things! Such a generous gift shows they're truly grateful for our help! In that case, if the lion clan ever encounters any difficulties and needs a helping hand, we should lend a hand if we can! After all, helping others is helping yourself."
The tribal beastmen standing around nodded in agreement upon hearing Ruan Mianmian's words.
For them, the leader's words are absolute authority, and if the leader tells them to be on good terms with someone, they must be on good terms with them.
Similarly, if the chief regards someone as an enemy, then that person or group naturally becomes the common enemy of the entire tribe.
This spirit of unity and solidarity against external threats has long been deeply ingrained in the hearts of every orc.
Meanwhile, Yong was thinking that after breakfast, he would lead the hunting team out to hunt, so as to replenish the tribe's food reserves.
However, when he saw the large pile of fresh prey that the lions had brought, he immediately changed his mind.
Given the hot weather, even with proper preservation, these prey items are unlikely to last long.
Instead of going through the trouble of hunting, it would be better to make good use of the prey available in front of them and supply it to the tribe.
With this in mind, Yong decisively decided to cancel today's hunting plan.
"Chief, the tribe has plenty of food now, and it's too hot to store it properly, so the hunting party won't be going out today. Do you have any plans for us?"
After thinking for a moment, Ruan Mianmian said, "Since we're not hunting today, we can organize everyone to make jerky together. Although it's hot, jerky can be stored for a long time." The surrounding orcs nodded in agreement.
From Zhihesen's words, Ruan Mianmian learned that this world not only has dry seasons and rainy seasons, but also winter.
Food is crucial during these special seasons. With game plentiful now, it's best to prepare in advance.
As a result, the tribe became lively.
The females are responsible for cutting the meat into pieces of the right size; the males are busy finding suitable places to dry the meat and building racks.
The little beastmen ran around helping to pass things, and occasionally stole a small piece of meat.
Ruan Mianmian moved among them, instructing everyone on how to better marinate meat chunks to enhance flavor and prevent spoilage.
At the same time, she also reminded everyone to pay attention to hygiene and avoid soiling the food.
Not all the orcs in the tribe were making jerky; the patrol team continued to patrol the valley in an orderly manner, following their established routes.
Meanwhile, Tu and his men, along with the beastmen of the Meng and Xiang tribes, were tirelessly carrying piles of sand and stones.
Although the carefully constructed drainage ditches successfully withstood the floodwaters during this torrential rain, such drainage facilities alone would be insufficient to completely resolve the crisis should the rainy season truly arrive.
Knowing the importance of being prepared, Ruan Mianmian had long warned everyone: no matter what you do, you must be prepared in advance.
So as soon as the weather cleared up, everyone couldn't wait to get started.
Even Ruan Mianmian, who has been busy with other matters lately, has not been idle. She is planning to build some more shelves near the walls inside the cave so that she can properly store all kinds of items needed for the rainy season.
At this moment, the entire Eastern tribe is like a high-speed machine, with everyone performing their duties with great enthusiasm, presenting a bustling and vibrant scene.
