Chapter 123 Tribal Tribe Trivia
It turned out they had already produced so many pottery pieces. Lin Baiyan looked at the pottery bowls, plates, and plump jars displayed on the bamboo shelves in the corner, and planned to take these pottery pieces to the trading market to make a good profit.
This is how they truly played their role, and it was worth all the hard work of the tribe members.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be so important in their tribe anymore; nowadays, almost every household has a few pottery pieces.
Lin Baiyan twisted his neck, looked at the total amount on the thin animal hide, and subconsciously bit his lip.
Most of the supplies in the tribe are inedible items, and there is still not much food in reserve.
Although they are now trying their best to find more food, they still can't keep up with the amount consumed.
Lin Baiyan was a little anxious. The potatoes and sweet potatoes would take several months to show any results. Right now, the tribe's beastmen were mostly gathering mushrooms from the mountains and bamboo shoots from the bamboo forests.
Although there are quite a few bamboo shoots, we can't just run rampant in that bamboo grove; we need to let them rest and recuperate.
Lin Baiyan unconsciously pinched her palm with her fingertips, still determined to find more food.
Only with food can a tribe have confidence.
Regardless of what Lin Baiyan was thinking, he remained outwardly calm. He was not alone; he was the priest of the tribe and could not let his people share his anxiety.
Fortunately, it is springtime now, and there are many kinds of wild vegetables in the mountains and forests. It is the season of rejuvenation, and as long as they are willing to work, they will not starve.
Lin Baiyan's anxiety subsided.
"Alright, I think we've tidied up enough for today, let's call it a day." Lin Baiyan smiled and turned to look at Tu Lin and Mao Yu.
The two nodded, and the group started walking outside.
"By the way, how are Uncle Tu Lin's four Rainbow Phoenix chicks?" Lin Baiyan suddenly remembered the four little chicks by Daming Lake that he had forgotten and quickly asked.
Tu Lin said with a smile, "The chicks are fine, they're all alive and well. Mao Xia and the others are even more concerned than we are, catching bugs and feeding the chickens."
“I saw that the chicks had grown fine feathers, so I sent them back to the Rainbow Phoenix Chicken Coop.”
Lin Baiyan nodded. When he came out of the cave, he saw that it was still early and went to the pheasant shed.
Just as Tu Lin said, the little chicks, who were not very steady on their feet before he left, can now walk shakily alongside their mother.
Relieved, Lin Baiyan hurried to the plains to the east to check on the growth of potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Although this wasn't his first time farming, Lin Baiyan was still quite apprehensive because they lacked medicine, fertilizer, and pesticides.
Fortunately, it seems the cubs are really capable; when he arrived, several cubs were still diligently catching insects in the field.
The cubs were overjoyed to see Lin Baiyan, but they didn't forget their work. After playing for a while, they obediently went back to catching insects.
Lin Baiyan then had a free hand to check the potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Sweet potatoes can't just be planted directly in the ground. After the sweet potatoes grow vines, you have to cut the vines into small sections and insert them into the ground so that they can slowly grow into fruit.
Lin Baiyan bent down to take a look. The sweet potatoes had already sprouted small buds, while the potatoes next to them were just as Xiang Lei had said, completely unmoved. However, Lin Baiyan was not in a hurry.
Springtime brings abundant rainfall, and it's not yet time to water the plants, so he returned to his tribe with peace of mind.
Even after arriving at the tribe, he couldn't find peace. He went to work with the construction team. In the days he was away, several more houses had been built in the tribe. Lin Baiyan counted them carefully and found that they had now built fifteen houses.
This speed truly surprised Lin Baiyan.
However, what surprised him even more was yet to come. Lu Xiao saw him and dragged him to the farthest corner of the village, pointed to it, and said excitedly, "Look, here's the toilet you asked us to build!"
Lin Baiyan looked surprised. "You finished building it so quickly?"
Lu chuckled and said, "It's not a difficult task; it can be finished in a day."
Toilets are much simpler to build; it's just digging a hole, stacking bricks in it, and then building a simple house on top of it.
Their construction team is no longer the clueless team they used to be!
Lu Xiao looked proudly at the houses standing in the tribe; these were all their achievements.
Lin Baiyan walked over and looked at the layout of the toilet. It was similar to what he had described before. It was a dry toilet like those in the countryside, but there was a partition between the several pits.
Fortunately, it was built some distance away, so I couldn't smell too much stench.
Lin Baiyan looked at the toilet and suddenly remembered his previous plan. He instructed Lu Xiao, "Burn more large bricks. I'll keep them for later."
Lu Xiao didn't know what Lin Baiyan wanted to use it for, so she asked.
Lin Baiyan smiled slightly, "I'll need you a lot later, you can burn it first."
Lu Xiao knew he had his own plans, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Lin Baiyan chatted with him for a few minutes, and then the two parted ways.
After all, the tribe is very busy right now, and Lin Baiyan wants to do the work of two people as soon as he comes back!
Everyone's busy, and it's good to be busy!
A carpentry team not far away was still polishing wooden tables while the daylight was still on.
The cart is now mainly made by Hu Jiang and Ai Shi together. Ai Shi is quick to learn, and although it takes them a bit of effort, they can make a cart in six or seven days.
The tribe now has seven carts, which is barely enough for its needs.
The dwarfs gathered together to work, with their cubs nearby.
Ai Xun leaned slightly to the side, carefully carving the tenon and mortise protrusions. He was considered one of the more talented among these dwarf beasts. Although he was not as gifted as Ai Shi, he was quick to learn.
Ai Xun was so focused that he didn't notice Lin Baiyan carefully observing his movements from behind.
It wasn't until he noticed the light was gradually being blocked that he looked up, and Lin Baiyan's face in front of him was so abrupt that it startled Ai Xun.
He subconsciously patted his chest, and after recovering, he looked at the orc in front of him with great respect, "Priest."
Lin Baiyan looked at him apologetically, "Sorry, I scared you."
Ai Xun quickly waved her hand, "No, no, it's just that I'm too timid, it's not the priest's fault."
Seeing his expression, Lin Baiyan didn't continue the conversation, but instead asked about their work progress over the past few days.
Ai Xun's expression became slightly more natural. "We are all doing well, and we are slowly getting the hang of carpentry. Thank you, High Priest." As he spoke, Ai Xun looked at Lin Baiyan with eyes full of gratitude. He knew that the peaceful and quiet life they had now, with enough to eat and drink, was all thanks to the Cangyan tribe.
His child was able to survive thanks to the herbs from the Cangyan tribe.
The dwarf beastmen prayed every day that the Beast God would continue to bless the Azure Flame Tribe.
