The one hundred and fifty-seventh calamity What is the way of management and the source of livelihood?
"Forget it, Uncle Huang, leave her alone, that girl has a very bad temper. Zhong Moxi said to Elder Huang, who was calling for Sumire.
"But...... It's so rude to Lord Ye like this!" Elder Huang looked at me with an embarrassed expression, his expression full of apologies.
"It's okay, Elder Huang, don't take it to heart, Sumire is a little girl after all, she may just not like me very much, it's normal to be awkward, I'll go over to find her in a while." "I persuaded Elder Huang.
In this civet base, except for Sumire's attitude towards me, the other cat people are very good to me. I kind of know why Sumire doesn't like me: because she likes Yuri, and I spend a lot of time with Yuri. She treated me like a little girl who looked at her rivals.
Come to think of it, if I'm going to stay in the civet clan for a long time, I'll need to get along with everyone. The first thing to be leveled is this thorny three-flowered cat. I need to find a way to make peace with this little girl who is always in trouble......
After a few of us had eaten, Elder Huang asked Haobai, Ah Xiong, and the other cat clans to come to the table to eat, and they had all been guarding by the side before. The food they eat is much worse than ours.
The hierarchical system of the cat clan is really strict, although there are not many people in this base, but there are many rules to follow. I know this may be because we are the original form of the civet family, which is essentially an animal, and most animals have a very strict hierarchy. When the leader of an animal tribe is eating, the other members are not allowed to eat with him.
It's a bit like the ancient times of the human world. When the king exists, his subordinates have to abide by a lot of rules, and if the subordinates are careless, they anger the master, and they may be beheaded!
This reminds me of the incident I encountered in the dog clan before: Bark Rong's mother, as a maid of the dog clan, was severely punished and tortured to death because she accidentally spilled tea on the old Elvis Presley when she served tea to him!
I suppose that the old Elvis may not have taken the life of his mother as a real life, did he see her as a servant, a maid, a tool to serve their king. The kings will reward them when they are glad, but they may kill them when they are angry.
This is just one example, there may be more similar things in the alien race, such hierarchical thinking, which may poison countless lives.
It turns out that aliens pay more attention to hierarchical discipline, but it is too strict. However, if I were a manager, I still wouldn't want people to live by the rules every day. If I were in charge, I would like everyone to be happy.
Someday in the future, maybe I'll actually take over as Elvis Presley's head. But can I really lead them to create a new homeland and restore the prosperity of the past? I don't believe in myself, how can I make others believe in me?
Elder Huang talked about asking me to live with them. I was thinking, what is their lifestyle, what do they do for a living, and the food they prepared for me is very good. There is fish, meat, and drink.
When I was eating just now, Elder Huang always let me eat the best food. However, Haobai, Ah Xiong, and the rest of the cat clan had a much worse diet: they had some simple pasta and a few small, shriveled dried fish.
According to Elder Huang, these foods are basically in their recipes. Dried fish is a great food for them. When food is plentiful, let them eat some eggs.
There are a few stray cat members who didn't eat as well as this when they were wandering before, and even said that they were far worse, and often had to go to the roadside to pick up leftovers from garbage cans.
Hearing Elder Huang say this, I always felt very uncomfortable in my heart. I'm eating such a hearty meal, and their cat people are eating a lot of food that is so bad for me. What made me feel most uncomfortable was that there were two other children growing up there, the two boys and girls with cat ears and cat tails I saw last time......
Thinking of this, my heart is even more sour.
I pulled Elder Huang and Mo Xi into a room and began to implement the plan: "Elder Huang, I'm still your king's head, right?"
When Elder Huang heard that I confessed that it was their king's head, he immediately knelt down with a thud: "Of course, of course!
I was taken aback by Elder Huang's move.
"Elder Huang, get up quickly!" I hurriedly helped Elder Huang up. "Well, I just want to say, can I make these people eat the same as us in the future, I am willing to reduce the quality of my food. I don't need to eat that good!"
"This ...... How can this work? You are our leader, how can you eat such coarse food because of your noble status?" said Elder Huang with some flusteredness.
"However, seeing that they eat much worse than I do, I feel very uncomfortable. Besides, there are two children there, and they're growing up!"
"This ...... How can this be done, this is not polite!" Elder Huang wiped the sweat from his broad forehead, and his brows furrowed.
"Elder. We have to take good care of all our members here, especially the vulnerable groups like children, so that they will be more willing to stand on the same front with us in the future!" I tried my best to persuade Elder Huang to try his best to change his previous thinking. However, he is deeply affected by the hierarchy, and it may not change for a while.
"Uncle Huang, in fact, I think what the Night Venerable Lord said is very reasonable, after all, the Night Venerable Lord has lived in human society for a long time before. Accepted some new and advanced ideas. I think if we raise the food level of these members, they should also be happy and more willing to be with us and unite as one, right?" Zhong Moxi opened his mouth and said to Elder Huang.
"Mmmm, Mo Xi, you really understand me! Thank you!" I am very glad that Mo Xi can understand my thoughts and help me speak in such a short time.
"Your kindness, my lord. The subordinates just think your idea is good. ”
"This ......" Elder Huang still couldn't get around his stubborn thoughts!
"Elder, you can give it a try as I said, wouldn't it be better if everyone's food was improved and everyone's work efficiency improved?" I continued to try to convince him.
"Then try it first, as the Lord said. Subordinates follow the instructions of the Lord. ”
"Okay, okay, don't call me Lord, let's call me Xiaoye!"
"Obey, Lord!" Elder Huang and Zhong Moxi said in unison.
“-_-||” I didn't want to say anything at this point, I just made this expression.
Since I felt that Elder Huang, as a civet elder who often lived in the clan, was relatively closed-minded, I persuaded him that when he had the opportunity, he could go to the human world with me to have a look. I think this will help him to manage the base more humanely in the future.
Elder Huang has always said to me about this suggestion: "My subordinates are all old bones, I am afraid that I can't afford to toss in the world, and I will cause trouble to you, my lord, why don't you go on my behalf next time!"
"Well, I want you to experience human life too!Next time I'll take you back with you!" I shook Elder Huang's arm like a child pestering his uncle to play with her.
Elder Huang was hindered that I was his leader, so he could only listen to my "persuasion" and promised to go back to the world with me next week when I was free.
I don't know much about the daily life and work patterns of this base, and I'm curious about what their food and clothing come from. Because Elder Huang, Jian'er, and Zhong Moxi are all dressed decently, and they have a decent dress, but Haobai and Ah Xiong are relatively poor, while the others are even more shabby, and there are patches on their clothes.
I asked Mo Xi and Elder Huang about the base's economy and food sources. Hearing me ask this, Elder Huang's expression was a little embarrassed at this time.
"Night Venerable, you have also seen that the current situation on our side is actually a bit embarrassing. In terms of food sources, after all, we are cats, and we still have some hunting skills, and we can catch some fish, shrimp, and small birds and beasts. There are also a few chickens in the backyard and a little bit of fruit and vegetables. Elder Huang said to me with some embarrassment.
"But with this food, we can't be completely self-sufficient. Therefore, usually a few of their young people will also go to the world or mix with other alien races to do odd jobs, and use the money they earn to buy some food and clothing, after all, there is still this large family of people to support, but because they can't reveal their identities, they can't work in one place all the time. So......" Elder Huang's expression was a little ugly. At this time, I can't interject and ask anything.
"And...... Moreover, the child of the red slave also needs tuition fees to go to that university, and the child of the red slave is also sensible, and he used to save a lot of money by working outside on his own. Among our clansmen, the Red Slave has the most contact with human society. ”
I glanced at Zhong Moxi with approving eyes, and he was a little embarrassed to see me staring at him.
"Then we people usually live very hard!" I couldn't help but sigh, it turned out that my life was actually quite good, and I didn't have to worry about food and clothing, but my people are living so hard now, and my heart swelled with a sourness
"Who's to say it's not, Miss Night, we just didn't think that it's hard to be a cat, and it's even harder to be a cat that lives like a human. ”
At present, it seems that this group not only has some problems in management, but also has a very good quality of life. There are many things that need to be improved, and I, as a scrap wood cat, really have the ability to lead a small group of only twenty or thirty members to rebuild their homes and revive the great cause of the cat clan?
