Chapter 43: The Bread Tree Who Loves to Hear Stories
The conference lasted two hours.
Just after 12 p.m., the convention ended.
Xun Yu spent hundreds of crystals to exchange for hundreds of [oral paper], and the dictation was born out of thin air, recording the legal details of the territory, and then letting the clansmen pass on and read each other to understand the legal content of the territory.
Zhang Liang was not idle, pulling a few clansmen with rare qualities, and began to read and understand the abilities, talents, characteristics, occupations, skills, physical attributes and other information of each clansman one by one through the stone tablet crystal.
This is done in order to select people who are suitable for basic management careers, and also to allow people to enter the field of work that they are good at.
For example, a strong tribesman can build a house, a swift tribesman can go to the forest to explore and collect fruits, and a female tribesman with weaving skills can weave animal skins for clothing, and so on......
Putting talent in the right place is what makes a difference.
In addition, Zhang Liang is also responsible for the trial, meeting with the clansmen recommended by Mao Sui, and other tasks.
Xun Yu pulled Su Bai and introduced a new food prop.
[Story Bread Tree] :D-level fantasy item. This is a magical bread tree, when it is planted, tell it a story before dawn, and after dawn the tree will be covered with delicious magical bread! A loaf of bread can fill a human belly and normal nutritional needs. It's just that it doesn't have a long lifespan and can only survive for half a year. Redeem 1,000 crystals of any color.
"My lord, I have been observing for a long time, and this thing is very suitable for solving our food dilemma in the short term. ”
Xun Yu pointed to the stone tablet crystal and introduced to Su Bai: "I have seen a lot of props that can be purchased now, except for the lack of territory level to buy more advanced props, this bread tree is the most cost-effective prop we can buy at the moment." ”
"Story Bread Tree?"
Su Bai frowned, he vaguely remembered that when he was a child, he saw a similar bread tree in a fairy tale.
Is this a fairy tale prop?
Xun Yu is very optimistic about this bread tree: "Although it can only live for one year, it is enough for us to last until the harvest of seeds and other crops in the four seasons." ”
Nowadays, the problem of drinking water in the territory is not difficult to solve, there is a water source not far away, and the main problem in the territory is the short-term food problem.
"Hmm. ”
Su Bai nodded: "Exchange one first, if there is enough bread, we will buy more." ”
"Well, the minister also has this intention. ”
Xun Yu nodded, bought a bread tree, and chose a placement location near the martial arts school.
"Huh!"
A three-colored light swept through the tip of the stone tablet crystal and landed near the martial arts school, and in the surprised eyes of the clansmen, a large tree appeared out of thin air.
This is a special tree, it is not covered with white and lustrous flowers like the magnolia tree, and unlike the lime tree, which has a dense and wide shade, it is a tree full of bread.
As soon as it was exchanged, it was overgrown with bread, which saved Su Bai from telling a story.
Su Bai walked to the edge of the tree, picked up the long pole branch on the ground and hit a loaf of bread, reached out to catch the fallen bread, and then took a bite.
"Hmm!"
Su Bai's eyes widened in surprise, and his mouth kept chewing.
The rhizomes of the tree give the bread its aroma, and time has concentrated the best flavors in it, soft and sweet, as if it had just been baked in a bakery.
"It's delicious!"
Su Bai put down another piece of bread, caught it and handed it to Xun Yu: "You can also taste it." ”
Xun Yu tasted it, squinted his eyes and exclaimed: "Not bad." ”
"My lord, there are a lot of bread trees in the courtier's view, there are more than a thousand, and we can exchange ten, which is almost enough. ”
"Hmm. ”
Su Bai nodded, there are still 17,261 crystals, enough to exchange for ten bread trees.
Ten bread trees can provide more than 10,000 breads every day, plus the meat provided by the hunting team, as well as wild fruits, wild vegetables and other food, which is enough to meet the daily food needs of 10,000 people.
Ten bread trees were quickly purchased and grew near the martial arts school grounds, like a small forest, lush and green, exuding the rich aroma of bread, making many clansmen stay and watch.
Even, Su Bai vaguely saw some children leaving saliva on the corners of their mouths, and they couldn't wait to eat a bite of bread.
"Xun Yu, send someone to pick the bread first, be careful not to fall on the ground and get dirty. ”
"This batch of bread can be used as the ration of tomorrow's people. ”
Su Bai commanded.
The bread trees are full of long loaves of bread growing vertically, which don't look big, but it's really filling to eat, as written in the prop information introduction, a loaf of bread can meet a person's food needs and nutritional needs for a day.
"It's a fairy tale prop, it's really magical. ”
Su Bai glanced at the bread tree and sighed: "This is also a loss of food-related props, if it is a weapon-related fairy tale prop, I'm afraid the price will be much more expensive." ”
In the crystal mall, food, people's livelihood, and auxiliary related props are very cheap, and there are many types, and even a crystal can buy a large box of cigarettes.
However, Su Bai would not make such an exchange choice, even if there was a lot of cigarettes in a large box, Su Bai did not want to waste a crystal.
Of course, many people who are addicted to smoking may work harder to improve their points in order to be eligible to use crystal exchange to buy what they want.
Xun Yu's efficiency was very fast, and the clansmen were all arranged, most of them were ingenious female clansmen, and some male clansmen who were good at climbing trees went up to pick bread.
Su Bai saw Xu Jinlan's figure in the crowd, her forehead was covered with fragrant sweat, and she was directing the female tribesmen to work, trying to make every bread fall into the vine backpack safely.
The elegant and sexy back posture attracted the attention of many male clansmen, but considering Su Bai's presence, no male clansmen dared to approach Xu Jinlan, let alone stare at the beauty all the time.
Because I don't know which guy with a big mouth told me about the fact that the patriarch and Xu Jinlan secretly went to the grove tonight, and most of the clansmen in the territory knew about it.
Everyone speculated that Xu Jinlan might have become the patriarch's woman, no matter how beautiful Xu Jinlan was, the men didn't dare to have thoughts about the patriarch's woman.
Su Bai also occasionally heard similar discussions, and could only smile bitterly.
It turns out that there are no secrets in this world that can be kept forever. Rumors and gossip are always the most popular topics of mankind, especially in the battlefield territory of the Ten Thousand Races, which lacks entertainment.
Su Bai didn't care about this kind of thing, he didn't have that kind of posture and idea of "don't speak presumptuously about the Venerable" for the time being, and the clansmen discussed some gossip, just some harmless things.
The fruit harvest was soon over.
Next, of course, it's time to tell the story to the bread tree.
In order to have a new bread tomorrow, the story must be told.
Xun Yu deliberately selected a few people majoring in literature and arranged for them to tell stories to a bread tree by themselves.
It was a magical, incredible operation, but the people did it.
Because the patriarch was also with them, telling a story to a bread tree.
Su Bai admitted that he was just too curious and wanted to try the act of telling a story to the bread tree himself, and he wanted to experience it for himself.
"Ahem. ”
Su Bai sat cross-legged, staring at a bare bread tree in front of him, and the surrounding clansmen had already begun to tell all kinds of stories.
In order to ensure the smooth completion of the work, some people told more than one story, and listened to the swaying trunk of the bread tree, and it magically grew new green leaves, which looked beautiful and magical.
"What's the best story to tell?"
Su Bai had a headache, he had forgotten most of the fairy tales he had read when he was a child, and he was not a literature major, so where were there so many strange stories to tell to the bread tree.
But I'm already sitting here, as a patriarch, wouldn't it be a bit ...... if I couldn't do such a small thing Well, Su Bai felt that it would be very embarrassing.
In order to save the dignity and face of the patriarch, Su Bai spoke hard.
"As long as it's a story, anyway!"
Su Bai groaned slightly, trying to remember, and then slowly spoke: "Once upon a time, there was a place called Utan City, and there was a young man named Xiao ......Yan in the Xiao family in Utan City."
Su Bai relied on his own memories to roughly retell the content of the online novels he had read.
Su Bai's story is very long, so long that after the people around him have finished telling the fairy tale, they have already finished their work, and Su Bai is still telling it.
Seeing that the patriarch was still telling stories, some of the clansmen did not leave out of curiosity and continued to watch.
“...... I saw that Xiao Yan said coldly: Miss Nalan, for the sake of the old man Nalan, Xiao Yan advises you a few words. ”
"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people to be poor!"
After saying this, the bread tree couldn't help but tremble all over its branches, and it kept shaking.
I didn't see it grow new leaves, so it trembled and trembled!
"Ka Rub. ”
There was a crunch.
A small branch was broken by the bread tree and fell in front of Su Bai.
Su Bai was stunned.
The clansmen froze.
Even Xun Yu's eyes widened, looking at this scene.
"What's going on?"
Su Bai glanced at the bread tree tentatively: "Do you understand what I said? Is the story too good?
"Ka Cha!"
Another branch broke and fell to the ground.
"Forehead ......"
Su Bai was full of black lines, and he was a little unsure of the meaning of the bread tree.
"Isn't the story I'm telling a good story?"
"What are you kidding, a milestone work in online literature!
Su Bai looked at the bread tree in front of him and sighed sadly: "Could it be that I have heard too many fairy tales, and the bread tree suddenly can't accept the story I said?"
"Okay, then I'll stop here for today. ”
Su Bai got up, glanced at the bread tree, turned to Xun Yu and said, "Let's see if it can grow a bread tree tomorrow, if not, the clansmen won't tell online stories in the future." ”
"If you can......"
Su Bai groaned slightly, and said: "Then let's talk about online stories from now on, it's long and watery, and it will definitely be able to talk about it for a year and a half." ”
As soon as he finished saying this, the bread tree behind Su Bai began to shake wildly, and the branches trembled, like a ghost tree in the night, quite a bit like a group of demons dancing wildly.
