Chapter 219 A good start
He Jiaojiao didn't expect that teaching people how to plant was not that easy.
At the end of the day, He Jiaojiao returned to the stone house angrily.
Mo Ran and others also followed behind him with gloomy faces, none of them saying a word, which made Zi Yi, who had come back early to prepare the meal, look confused.
"what happened?"
On the table were the vegetables that Ziyi had picked from the vegetable garden and stir-fried them with animal oil. The plate of green vegetables was so juicy and green that it was really appetizing.
But when she saw this dish, He Jiaojiao lost her appetite.
"Jiaojiao, why don't we talk to the city lord? We can't teach you, and we won't teach you anymore!" Zhu Xiong felt very distressed to see He Jiaojiao so angry.
It was supposed to be a good thing, but how did it get messed up like this by those orcs?
Not only did they keep giving orders, but they also treated it like a game. Not only that, they even destroyed a piece of their vegetable patch. Seeing the vegetables that they had worked so hard to grow destroyed, it was no wonder that Jiaojiao was so angry.
"How about that?"
The city lord's voice came from outside, and then he hurried in.
"He Jiaojiao, I've heard everything that happened next. I'll teach those brats a lesson."
The city lord had a serious expression on his face. After convincing He Jiaojiao, he had gone back to deal with the city's affairs. But he hadn't expected that after a day of rest, he would hear about the farce that had happened during the day.
"City Lord, I think there are too many of them. It's going to be very chaotic for us to teach them." As the leader of the Iron-eating Beasts, Bamboo Bear immediately identified the key. "How about this? Each family that wants to learn can send a representative to learn. After they learn, they can teach the other males. What do you think?"
The city lord's eyes lit up instantly, and he patted Takekuma's shoulder with satisfaction, "Well, this is a good idea."
After saying this, the city lord glanced at He Jiaojiao and saw that her expression had softened. He immediately smiled and said, "I will make the males who destroyed the vegetable plots apologize to you. Moreover, when the vegetables are grown, they will pay you double the compensation."
After hearing what the city lord said, He Jiaojiao felt embarrassed to continue making trouble, but she felt that there were some things she still needed to say.
"City Lord, planting isn't something that can be done in a day or two. Some vegetables and fruits have a short maturity period and can be harvested quickly, but some take a long time. I'm worried they won't be able to wait."
As long as He Jiaojiao is willing to give in, these won't be a problem. The city lord thought for a moment and immediately said, "Just focus on teaching, and don't worry about the rest. If those males dare to cause trouble again, I will definitely not let them go."
The city lord paused and said, "Well, I'll have my son Kai go with him tomorrow. With him around, the others will be more restrained."
"OK then!"
After seeing off the city lord, He Jiaojiao sighed deeply. She had originally wanted to benefit the orcs in the Beast World, but she didn't expect that the beginning would be so difficult.
When the water was first diverted, everyone was waiting and watching. Now that they have been away for a while and come back, look, every household has water.
I don't know why these guys are so stubborn.
The next day, He Jiaojiao went out nervously. As soon as she arrived at the vegetable garden, she saw that many orcs were already waiting there. The difference from yesterday was that they no longer had the frivolous look on their faces.
"Saint He Jiaojiao, I'm sorry. We went too far yesterday. The city lord has already told us off. Once the vegetables are grown, we will definitely compensate you double."
A male came out. He Jiaojiao recognized him. He was the one who led the fight yesterday.
"Yeah!" He Jiaojiao responded lightly, then walked aside and began to explain to everyone how to turn the soil. The soil must be turned loose and soft so that it can germinate better.
Looking at the serious expressions of the hundreds of males in front of her, He Jiaojiao secretly admired that the city lord was indeed powerful. After just one night, everyone's attitude had changed so obviously.
Especially Qimo, he was learning so seriously. Of course, Xiangxiang also came along, saying that it was too boring to stay at home, so he might as well come and learn something.
When the big guys see a female turning the soil so diligently, they will just work harder.
After a while, everyone had turned the soil in their respective areas. He Jiaojiao checked around and found that only a few were perfunctory while the others were very serious. She nodded in satisfaction.
"Turning the soil is just the first step. The next step is sowing the seeds!" He Jiaojiao said, taking out the vegetable seeds she had brought and walking into Xiangxiang's house. She demonstrated and explained to everyone, "If the seeds are buried too deep, they won't grow easily. If they are buried too shallow, they won't be able to stand firmly after they grow, so everyone must pay attention."
The orcs have good eyesight and hearing, so He Jiaojiao doesn't need to speak very loudly, so today's demonstration is still very easy.
After everyone understood, they all received seeds from He Jiaojiao, and their eagerness to try made He Jiaojiao very satisfied. This kind of land is like this, whether it can be planted or not is another matter, but just this attitude is enough to make it come out first.
In order to ensure that the seeds of every family can germinate successfully, He Jiaojiao checked every household. Of course, she didn't walk, but rode on Lin Feng's back.
Just imagine, a petite and beautiful woman sitting on the back of a majestic silver wolf. Isn’t that a very vivid picture?
He Jiaojiao's stomach started to protest, but she wasn't done yet. If she asked to go back to eat now, the unchecked male orcs would definitely object.
After taking a look, there wasn't much left, so He Jiaojiao decided to check all the land before going back to eat.
"Jiaojiao~"
The purple beast ran towards He Jiaojiao, biting a wooden barrel in its mouth. The fragrance wafting out of it made everyone present couldn't help but sniff.
"Jiaojiao, I brought some food, eat first and then get busy!"
I have to say that Ziyi was very thoughtful about this matter.
But the food in a wooden barrel is only enough for their family at most. What about the others? They can't eat under hundreds of eyes!
"Don't worry, I made a lot. I'll pick two people to go back with me to get it. Jiaojiao, you can eat first."
Seeing that He Jiaojiao was still reluctant to pick up her chopsticks, Zi Yi took the initiative to wrap a large piece of meat in a leaf and handed it to her. He then whispered, "Don't worry, the ingredients for today's meal were sent by the city lord, so the portions are very generous. Jiaojiao, feel free to eat."
He Jiaojiao couldn't help laughing. She didn't hold back on eating because she was reluctant to take out so much food. She just wanted to wait for Zi Yi to come back so that everyone could eat together.
"Jiaojiao, you eat first. I'll go back and be back soon."
Zi Yi randomly selected a few beasts, transformed into beast forms and followed them back. After a while, he brought dozens of buckets of food.
In an instant, the entire open space was filled with the aroma of food, making the males who originally had no intention of eating unable to help but salivate.
