After the meal, Jinyu immediately took Mo Lan and the others to Pinglingpo. On the west side of the Snow Ape Clan's territory, this flat ridge is an overgrown stone ridge, with mottled snow cover and scattered trees, one or two elephant bucket trees standing.

Jinyu led everyone to the haunt of the long-haired antelope, and sure enough, he found a few long-haired antelopes gnawing on wild grass in the snow. However, those long-haired antelopes did not panic when they saw people, nor did they dodge and run away vigilantly, and still paced leisurely like old ladies to graze.

Mo Lan was a little surprised when he saw the long-haired antelope, because these long-haired antelopes were indeed not sheep, but alpacas.

There are many colors of these camel wool, pure white, brown yellow, black, etc. No wonder the Snow Ape people are all wearing sheepskin jackets, it seems that it is the fur of this alpaca!

"Miss Moran, this is the long-haired antelope! You see, is it the same as the sheep you are talking about? ”

Jinyu pointed to the long-haired antelopes to Mo Landao.

Mo Lan nodded and said, "It's not sheep, but my clan calls these long-haired antelopes alpacas." Although the alpaca is also called a sheep, it is different from a sheep.

Sheep belong to the bovine family, whereas alpacas belong to the camelidae. However, when it comes to value, this alpaca is worth a level higher than a sheep! ”

With that, Mo Lan withdrew her gaze from the alpacas and turned to Jinyu.

"That's right! Patriarch Jinyu, I wonder if you have used other things on the camel's body besides using the camel's fur for clothing and meat for food? ”

"The fur and flesh of the long-haired antelope add up to all the things on its body, and there are some antelope bones that have been picked out, and the tribe will make some bone tools, but because they all have a peculiar smell, they are not commonly used in the clan."

Jinyu thought for a moment and replied.

Mo Lan listened and said, "So, you use the fur of the long-haired antelope to make clothes, and you will hunt and skin them every time?" So, how many sheepskin jackets can be made from the fur of a long-haired antelope? ”

"A woolly antelope is enough for a stronger man to make one, but a woman can make two."

In other words, to make one or two pieces of clothing, you have to slaughter a woolly antelope. So, what about the number of woolly antelopes? Is it for the use of the snow ape family? ”

Mo Lan looked at Jinyu and asked again.

The Snow Ape Clan's approach is a bit tyrannical. An alpaca, if used well, is much more than two pieces of clothing and a few pieces of meat.

Jinyu frowned and pondered when he heard this, and then replied: "We really haven't calculated the number of long-haired antelopes, but it should not exceed a hundred. However, this long-haired antelope will give birth to a small gazelle every warm season, and the gazelle will grow for a while, probably before the cold season comes, it will be enough to make a fur sweater! In this way, it is just enough for my clan to use. ”

Mo Lan shook his head and said, "If you continue to slaughter like this, sooner or later this alpaca will be killed by you!" Besides, even the ungrown gazelles have to be slaughtered, which is a bit cruel.

This camel is docile, unlike other beasts that threaten human life, so we should slaughter and use it reasonably, which is also a kind of humanitarian spirit. ”

When she heard that the wolf clan's sacred canon was made of young animal skins, she felt uncomfortable for a while, and now the snow ape clan's wanton slaughter of baby llamas was also unbearable.

In order to survive, people can use other animals, and there must be a limit to what can be used, and the endless slaughter without a lower limit will sooner or later be counterattacked.

Although this is an inevitable trend of the biological chain, it is also an anti-civilization and anti-natural violence, so Mo Lan does not agree with this kind of barbaric atrocity.

Jinyu listened, but frowned and said nothing.

If a tribe wants to survive for a long time, it must make good use of everything that can be used around it. And Mo Lan's concept is a bit of a woman's kindness.

If these woolly gazelles are not slaughtered, how can their entire tribe survive and continue? I'm afraid that it will be their people who will die when the time comes!

Seeing that Jinyu was silent, Mo Lan knew that he didn't agree with his words, and just wanted to step forward to explain, when he suddenly saw Han Che take a step forward and said: "Patriarch Jinyu, I think Mo Lan doesn't mean that you should prohibit the slaughter of the long-haired antelope, but to use the long-haired antelope in another way, that is to say, if you don't slaughter its life as much as possible, you can also supply the needs of the entire tribe." In this way, there is no need to worry about the lack of fur supply due to the reduction of the number of marshheads in the future, and it can also do less killing. ”

"If there is such a method, I am happy to use it. It's a pity that if you want to make clothes and eat meat, you have to slaughter the long-haired antelope, and food and cold are the most unacceptable things in the Kudesert Snow Plain. ”

Because he will freeze to death and starve to death, do you want to ignore the life and death of the tribe for a few long-haired antelopes?

"Patriarch Jinyu, I'm not saying that you won't be allowed to slaughter the long-haired antelope, but I'm saying that you should be slaughtered reasonably. And try not to slaughter the young antelope, because whether it is an animal or a human, they are all creatures of nature, and slaughtering each other will not end well!

I have a good way to provide the Jinyu patriarch here, and this, as I just said, is it a small surprise! ”

When Jinyu heard this, he immediately asked, "What method?" Can I not slaughter the woolly antelope, but also feed and clothe my people? ”

"Yes!"

Mo Lan nodded and said, "You don't necessarily have to have a whole fur to make clothes, we can only shear the fur and not take the skin." You can cut off the long hairs on the antelope, spin them into wool and then make sweaters, which are also warm and have no peculiar smell. ”

"Cut the wool of the antelope?" Jinyu was slightly stunned, what to do by shearing its hair? It's cut out, only the hair has no skin, how to wear it?

"Yes, after the wool antelope's hair is sheared, it will not die, and after a while it will grow again, and then it will be cut again, won't there always be wool available?"

Merlan replied.

"But what can these hairs do? Can it be used as clothing to keep out the cold? Jinyu immediately questioned.

Mo Lan smiled and said, "Didn't I just say it?" Spinning and garments! Wouldn't it be possible to spin this wool into wool and weave it into a sweater? ”

"Spun clothing? So how do you do that? ”

Jinyu didn't understand why Mo Lan could think of more and better ways to use anything she saw. And all of these methods he had never seen or heard before!

"Spinning threads are made with spinning wheels, spinning wheels are made with wood, and the spun wool yarn is knitted into sweaters with rod needles and crochet needles, and both rod needles and crochet needles can be made of wood."

Mo Lan spread her hands back, and then added: "Of course, wood can also make many things. For example, if you make a horse-drawn carriage, you can transport goods.

Make furniture that can be stored daily. To make a spinning wheel, the loom can spin and weave cloth!

The spun thread can be used to weave sweaters, and the woven blankets can be used instead of fur to make beds and quilts. Isn't that much cleaner and more hygienic than fur? ”

"So much more can be made from wood!"

Jinyu was amazed by the wide use of wood, and even more amazed at how well Mo Lan knew all kinds of things in his mind! She was like a god-like figure, otherwise why would she be able to see so many things that no one else could see!

It's incredible!

Jinyu looked at Mo Lan, and the thoughts in her mind became more firm!

And here, Mo Lan has already begun to continue to explain.

"As for the food for the stomach, in fact, there is an inexhaustible food on the long-wool antelope, haven't you seen it?"

"Inexhaustible? You mean, something that can be used for a long time? What is that? ”

When Jinyu heard this, he immediately came to his senses again.

"It's goat's milk!"

Mo Lan solved the mystery, smiled and pointed to the belly of a female alpaca and said, "You see, this long-haired antelope has obviously given birth to a small antelope not long ago, and the milk is still very sufficient. And the gazelle beside it can already forage for grass independently, and there is no need to eat goat's milk.

Then the goat's milk it produces is useless. In that case, why can't we express goat's milk and use it?

Goat's milk is a high-protein, high-nutrient food. It is rich in fats, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, and many other nutrients that the body needs, such as calcium, iron, phosphorus, and selenium.

It can not only improve the body's immunity and disease resistance, but also benefit brain development, whether it is the elderly, children or adults.

It's so much better than eating roast lamb alone! Moreover, goat's milk can also be made into cheese, milk tea and other delicacies, so you can still be satisfied! ”

"Can the milk of the long-haired antelope be squeezed out and eaten? Isn't that what the little antelope eats? Can people eat it too? ”

Fan Xing, who was following Jinyu, widened his eyes in surprise, it was not that they had never seen the little hairy antelope breastfeeding, but they had never thought of squeezing out the milk and giving it to the clansmen!

How does it feel weird?

Mo Lan smiled and replied, "Then why not?" Cow's milk and goat's milk are all particularly nutritious things, and eating them often is particularly good for the human body! You don't have any salt to eat, and if you don't supplement some nutritious things, sooner or later you will all become soft-footed shrimp! ”

After speaking, Mo Lan turned his head to look at Jin Yu and said, "However, I suggest that you keep these long-haired antelopes in captivity, it will be easier to shear and get milk." Of course, slaughtering and eating meat can also be done simultaneously. But with more options, there will be a lot less carnage. ”

"Captivity?" Jinyu was a little puzzled.

"Captive breeding is to fence off these long-haired antelopes and keep them in the territory so that they can be used at any time. This saves you the inconvenience of going out to hunt. ”

"Oh, yes! The fence you need for captivity can also be made of wood! In other words, you have all the conditions here, so you can put the methods I just mentioned into practice! ”

"That being said, how can we easily believe that something is not actually made? If Miss Mo Lan can stay and help us turn all this into something tangible, then, the blood golden lotus, our clan is willing to offer it with both hands! ”

Jinyu finally made it clear that he was willing to exchange for the Golden Lotus, which made Mo Lan happy!

She turned back to Han Che and said, "Han Che, what do you think? Can I exchange this for a golden lotus? ”

Han Che and Xian, Lan Qiao exchanged glances with each other, and they all nodded and said, "Since the Jinyu Patriarch agrees, we have no opinion!" ”

After all, the Blood Golden Lotus is the treasure of the Snow Ape Clan, and it is also related to the safety of Mo Lan, so it is worth it to exchange these civilizations for it. Anyway, as long as Mo Lan is here, no matter what kind of civilization it is, it is basically at your fingertips!

Mo Lan saw that a few people had no opinion, so she also nodded. But after thinking about it, he turned back to Jinyu and said, "Patriarch Jinyu, I can stay and teach all the undeveloped civilizations in your clan, but I also have a condition, I hope you can agree!" ”
