Changlin, who suddenly came to his senses, admired this very much: "Leader, the true face you are considering. ”

Tianhao smiled faintly: "The reason why I brought you out this time is to let you have more experience and more knowledge." The scale of Panshizhai will definitely get bigger and bigger, and there will be more and more people and things that need to be managed. You started following when I was the head of the ten, and I have to teach you more. In the future, you will also become the leader of the village and deal with these problems alone. ”

……

Gu cottage.

When Curved Tooth walked into the room, he saw his brother Black Tooth staring down at the things in front of him, his lips slightly open, and he was in a daze.

"Big brother." Crooked Tooth whispered suspiciously, pulling Black Tooth, who had been immersed in the depths of chaotic thinking, back to reality.

He quickly licked the saliva that was about to overflow from the corner of his mouth with his tongue, firmly suppressed his hunger with great willpower, and finally squeezed out a smile on his broad and fat face, and raised his head: "You're here...... Scold...... That, this is a gift just sent by the leader of Panshi Village. Aqu, you came just in time, take it out and share it with everyone! ”

The people of the "Steel Tooth" department will have a "tooth" character in their names. The name of the tooth is a bit peculiar, he didn't like his father to give him the name "caries", so in desperation, he could only ask the wise priest for help, and chose another homophonic "song" word.

The crooked tooth is taller than the black tooth, but not as fat as the latter looks. Of course, this statement is not accurate, the so-called "fat" of black teeth is actually the width of the body. This is the greatest physical characteristic of all the pig people, their appearance cannot be changed, and the thickness of their subcutaneous fat is much greater than that of other barbarians. However, no matter how obese the body is, it must have adequate food intake to ensure nutrition and health.

Black Tooth looks huge, but in fact, he has been half-starved every day since the beginning of winter.

Looking at the various foods on the floor, Crooked Tooth hesitated a little, he hesitated for a moment, and hesitated: "...... Big brother, this ......"

Blacktooth's smile looked very innocent, and he waved his hand to interrupt him: "I know, take it all, go quickly!" ”

Crooked Tooth called two guards from outside, and the room quickly emptied. Looking at the bare floor and smelling the aroma of food remaining in the air, the curly teeth frowned deeply.

"Big brother, what do you think of those cattle people in Panshi Village...... Is it true that they are offering us a price? ”

Double rations, which makes the crooked teeth feel a little unreal.

"Whether it's true or not, you have to go to find out." Heiya picked up the kettle placed next to him and poured most of the pot into the warm water that had been boiled and cooled in one go. The volume of the pot is huge, and under normal circumstances, few people will drink so much water at once.

"Don't drink it." Qu Tooth persuaded: "Drink water and don't get hungry, I'll let someone get you something to eat!" ”

The stout black tooth put down the kettle, burped full of moisture, and caressed his belly with his thick palm, making a "swaying" sound.

His smile was a little bitter.

Although the appearance of the pig people is special, they are not lazy.

There are no lazy people in Gu cottage. Lazy people can't survive here at all, and instead of getting the food allocated, they will be divided among others.

The biggest problem restricting the development of the village is grain production and per capita food consumption.

For example, during the Panshizhai period of Fu Song's administration, the same wheat was cultivated and the cultivated land area was similar, but the wheat yield was basically not much different, which could feed 1,000 cattle people, but could not feed 1,000 pig people.

Their appetite is just too great.

The situation of food shortage in Panshizhai has been significantly improved after Tianhao became the leader, and the delivery of production to households has stimulated people's stronger enthusiasm for production. Tianhao ordered a mandatory public health plan in Panshizhai and received a large amount of fertilizer. From initial skepticism to now willingly accepting, people have witnessed a 10 percent increase in grain yields per acre, and this figure is expected to rise slightly next year.

The barbarians had a deeper understanding of food than in the age of civilization. To them, the essence of white such as "eight or five powders" is equivalent to a myth, and they cannot understand why they want to take off a large amount of wheat bran. The pigs have gone even further in this regard, refusing to discard even the hard husks of the wheat grains, which are gathered together, crushed with stone mills, and mixed with coarse flour to become an extremely coarse and unpalatable grain.

Of all the northern barbarians, the concept of food is the broadest.

In the spring, they will dig up all the wild vegetables around the stockade.

In summer, a third of the leaves must be added to the daily ration. They go up the mountain in groups to pick leaves, polish some of the young branches, wash the leaves, put them in a large pot with boiling water, drain the water, mix them with semolina according to the proportions, and knead them into fist-sized balls. Both the elderly and children use this kind of preserved fruit.

The benefit of the hot season is the large number of insects that multiply. Locusts are the most delicious, they are large, they are caught one by one and worn on bamboo skewers, roasted and sprinkled with salt, and the crispy taste makes people can't stop mouthing. Fat, white moth larvae wriggle between leaves, mashing them and adding a little lime juice to make them sticky and feel like meat sauce. Mole crickets and longhorn beetles are a bit of a hassle to eat, and their hard, piercing shells and legs must be removed before they can be roasted over a fire.

Bugs are so important to the pig people that the job of catching them is usually left to the elderly and children. Hundreds of insects are densely packed in clay pots, and the look makes people feel numb in the scalp. The pig people are very good at this, they tend to cover the jar tightly and burn the whole rack on the fire. As long as you master the heat, you won't get scorched. The half-cooked insects are poured out and cleaned one by one, and the parts that cannot be eaten are removed, and the rest is put in an earthen bowl, sprinkled with salt, and distributed evenly according to the population of each family.

Autumn is the best time of the year, and almost all the swollen plant rhizomes are collected by the hungry pigs. Taro and cassava, in particular, are rare delicacies due to their highly starchy roots. The way to eat it is very simple, it can be steamed or boiled, grilled or fried...... The last way to eat it is considered extravagant by the pig people, it requires a lot of oil and has a strong sense of satiety.

The Grim Reaper reigns with hunger throughout the winter. Cold weather can exacerbate body calorie expenditure, and the best way to survive the winter is to stay at home and reduce the chance of going outside.

The surrounding environment of each tribe is different, and the pig people of Gushanzhai organize large-scale hunting every autumn, but they do not catch much prey, which is better than nothing.

From the perspective of the civilized era, the living environment of the pig people is extremely harsh, and the living habits are not hygienic. They carry a large number of parasites in their bodies and do not have a long life expectancy, which is more of a struggle than a life.

Blacktooth is a good leader.

He would rather fill his empty stomach with water than take a larger share of the food.

"You'll take someone with you later!" It didn't feel comfortable that his stomach was filled with water, and Black Tooth felt that he was very heavy, and he didn't want to get up when he sat heavily, barely weakening the sourness of the fire in his stomach, but his brain was chaotic, and even his vision became a little gray.

Crooked Tooth was a little surprised: "Go today?" Big brother, didn't you talk about it before you set off? ”

Blacktooth was silent for a few seconds and sighed: "It's better to go early!" We don't have much food...... To be honest, the Niu people in Panshi Village are still very good. Very few people are willing to hire us to help with things in the winter, and the price they pay is not low. That one...... Bring a few more people and go early! ”

The same phrase he repeated several times.

Crooked Tooth nodded silently, saluted to Black Tooth, and turned to walk out.

He could understand Blacktooth's thoughts.

Although the two sides of Panshi Village and Gushan Village have negotiated relevant matters, sending people over a few days earlier is not a breach of contract. Black Tooth played a little trick, and the Panshi Village had to provide a few more days of food and drink for these people.

This is a helpless move.

The situation in Panshi Village is definitely better than that of Gushan Village, even if you can't feed these people who have passed in advance, at least half of the rations will be supplied!

Even if it is less, a third, or even a quarter, it is also very worth looking forward to for the hungry pig people in Gushanzhai.

Standing outside the room, looking at the gloomy sky, he exhaled a turbid breath with a cold expression.

It's a terrible time of hunger.

……

The people from Gushanzhai came quickly, and the number exceeded the number agreed by both parties, as many as 286 people.

When he received the news, Tianhao was stunned.

He quickly adjusted his mentality, and hurried to the temporary resettlement area located on the outskirts of the village with the long wind reporting the news.

With a huge figure of more than three meters, the curved tooth had a smile on his face, and he bent his waist, trying to shorten his size as much as possible, so that his height was as level as possible with Tianhao, or even lower. This kind of humility to the extreme, even with a rather flattering element, is a change that has been forced to be made by Bending Teeth through countless painful lessons.

In this world, it is not brave and strong alone that can be proud of everything. As long as you have a huge amount of supplies and the simplest food, you can make the bravest warriors honestly kneel down and lick your dirty shoes.

"Honorable Chief, here we are." Although they had met before, Curved Tooth didn't think that he and Tianhao were familiar enough to call each other by their names.

"Why are you so out of sight?" Tianhao, who quickly adjusted his mood, punched him hard in the shoulder, and raised his hand to hug him very affectionately: "What kind of leader is not a leader, call me Ah Hao, otherwise you will take your people and roll back for me." ”

These words made the tooth sound a little confused, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Gu Shanzhai has dealt with many tribes.

All employers took a fancy to the strong fighting power of the Pig tribe and demanded that the Pig people work for themselves in the form of payment rations.

This employment relationship cannot be equal from the start. After all, the demands of the pig people are very low, as long as they are full.

Once or twice is nothing, for a long time, year after year, generation after generation, the pig tribe gradually became a laughing stock among the tribes, and became synonymous with low intelligence and stupidity.

They had nothing but brute force.

"You guys are really ......" Tianhao pointed his fingers and crooked his teeth, his brows furrowed tightly: "If you want to come, say it in advance, I will have someone prepare a place for you to live in advance." ”

I've heard a lot of similar words before. The glimmer of hope that had just risen in his heart slowly sank with Tianhao's words. A stiff, formulaic smile appeared on his face: "That...... The accommodation is actually not a big deal. Just give us a place to sleep. ”

"What are you talking about?" Tianhao's eyes widened, and his tough and unquestionable attitude did not look like a young man at all. He turned around and ordered Xu Kun, who was standing next to him, to say a few words, and the latter nodded again and again and ran away quickly.

Tianhao's gaze fell on the pig people standing behind Qu Ya, swept them in order, and said with a smile: "Brother Aqu, there are a lot of you guys!" ”

The already restless heart of the curved teeth suddenly hung up with these words. He hurriedly lowered his voice, his smile became more reluctant than just now, and his speech became less confident: "That...... I, my eldest brother said, he is worried that the Niu brothers in Panshi Village have too many things to do, and they are not busy enough...... So...... So I brought some more...... Be a helper. ”

Tianhao sees everything in his eyes.

He was smiling all the time, not breaking.

Snowflakes fell from the hazy sky, falling on the ragged group of pigs, who were shivering and hugging into a ball. A pair of eyes were full of antiquity, but more of fear.

Tianhao's expression gradually became solemn.

He reached out and grabbed the wrist of the crooked tooth: "Let's go, let's eat." ”

"Huh?" Qu Tooth kept his head down, Tianhao's actions were beyond his expectations, he felt that his thoughts were frozen instantly, all thoughts could not overlap with reality, except for the dazed and confused monosyllable, he couldn't say a word.

"It's a guest from afar." Tianhao accentuated his tone: "Eat first, and only when you are full will you have the strength to say something else." ”

Spacious stone houses are dedicated to large gatherings. Ayi quickly lit a fire with a hundred and ten women, and burned the whole room to a warm place.

Cooking a meal for about 300 people on an ad hoc basis is not as difficult as expected.

Xu Kun led people to carry several large baskets of cod from the warehouse. The cod is very fat during this season, and when they are landed, they are processed in the fishing village: the heads are cut off, the internal organs are removed, rinsed and transported back to the stockade for storage. In winter, these cod can quickly freeze into ice and will not go bad if left out all winter.

It takes strength to deal with the frozen fish that is as hard as iron, Tianfeng and a group of men pick up the tomahawk to chop the cod into pieces, and Ayi leads the women to put the fish pieces into the pot and boil. With a little condiment and salt, it will soon turn into a pot of delicious fish soup.

Including the curved teeth, all the people of the pig tribe were stunned.

The baskets containing the fish are large, and the visual weight is at least more than 100 kilograms.

A dirty and black young man of the pig tribe squeezed to Quya's side and asked carefully, "Aqu, these fish ...... It's all for us to eat? ”
