Chapter 047 Domestication Period

Chairman Mao has a saying that :"Strategically despise the enemy, tactically attach importance to the enemy." This sentence can be also applied to Xiao Yun, a professional veteran, that is: Despising the enemy in planning, attaching importance to the enemy in execution. As for who the biggest enemy is, well, it's the people who are inner your same team. (Chairman Mao is the first Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the first generation of the supreme leader of the People's Republic of China. He is the an important statesman and military strategist. )

If a customer has any problems, it will destroy a business at most, but if there are problems within the team, it will be a major event of bankruptcy.

The greatest enemies are from the inner team! Inner team! Inner team! The important case have to reaped three times.

Therefore, if you are the leader of a certain team, when you make a project plan, you may as well regard all the people in your team as people without thinking ability, and have a risk plan in mind that all links may go wrong. When the plan starts to be implemented, you must make all the participants in the project feel that you attach great importance to and trust them as much as possible, At least if someone leaves angry because of the loss of self-esteem or interests, this kind of thing should be avoided as far as possible In short, the team is not easy to bring! So the hairline of leaders is very worrying!

At present, what Xiao Yun attaches most importance to is how to grasp the manpower of Yu tribe, but while discussing with Yu, he should also pay close attention to other aspects of affairs. Although the evolution of the goblins' bodies is not complete, their ability to do things deserves respect. When Yu was worried about losing his hair, Xiao Yun went to the goblins' houses twice to exchange and instruct them to make the stone mill that the tribe needed urgently, which is the kind of stone mill composed of two stone grinding plates, before, there was no tool that could not be made. With the metal claws of goblins, which can directly process stone tools in hand, he naturally have to make good use of them.

It's not easy for snow werewolves to dig into the rock, and it's not hard for goblins. In the northwest of the tribe, a low mountain with exposed rocks was excavated. After the surface layer of the low mountain was removed, the hard, uniform, non weathered and non layered granite was selected. The round like stone pieces with a diameter of about one meter and a thickness of about 20cm were taken as the prototype of the stone grinding plate. Taking the thick stone slice as the lower row of grinding plate, and lay it flat on the grinding table made of brick. In the center, take out the square hole to put the grinding center, the size is about five centimeters.

The production of the upper grinding plate should be more detailed. Taking ou the grinding core corresponding to the grinding core of the lower grinding stone, which is about 5cm deep, but does not penetrate. Taking out the hole where the wooden grinding hand is placed at the side. Taking out the penetrate hole where the objects is placed at the corresponding angle and one third of the diameter of the grinding plate, and leave a grinding lip higher than the grinding stone along the grinding edge.

Finally, the grinding surfaces corresponding to the upper and lower grinding plates are opened out of the grinding road, and the grinding road pattern spreads outward from the center. First, four rows are opened, and then eight rows are opened according to a uniform width. The left grinding road gradually slopes to the right and makes the input goods can smoothly grind out powder... This set of operations was simple to say, but it was not easy. The three smarter adult goblins waste two pieces of grinding stones before they could be considered as qualified products.

After making stone mills and putting on the grinding rods for pulling mills that were made by the manuls, everyone ate more refined wheat bead that day... It's just that Yu was still worrying about the incorporation of her tribe, no noting that the wheat bread was more refine and more delicious, the others were happily full of praise.

A pair of stone mills is definitely not enough. Fortunately, the next work arrangements don't require goblins to work hard. Xiao Yun only asked the goblins to continue to research and make larger stone mills and study how to get the hydraulic mill out. ——Hundreds of thousands of catties of wheat are waiting to be polished. When the beans are harvested, more things need to be ground.　　

Autumn is destined to be a busy season. After letting Yu go on the road alone to persuade his tribe patriarch and clansmen, Xiao Yun unceremoniously arranged the people who had rested for three days to the labor road again--making bricks, logging, and digging coal. These three projects involved all the first-level labor in. The two tasks of taking clay and burning pottery, adding pottery kilns and brick kilns, the second-class laborers are very busy.

When Yu's tribes drove cattle and sheep, carrying the humble property, were brought on a trek, they saw the busy labor scene of the Huoyan Tribe from a distance...　　

Now the Huoyan Tribe, no introduction is needed, anyone can see how amazing this tribe is. In the large open-air sheep pen to the east of the tribe, fat cattle and sheep are lazily nesting in the long fence that looks like an American football stadium from top to bottom; sheep; Outside the pen circle, the grass sheds temporarily set up to keep out the rain are filled with pasture silage. The total amount seems to be more than the pasture accumulated by some small tribes before the heavy snowfall.

If we say that we don't graze and engage in captive breeding because they are happy and they are willing to cut the forage and come back for feeding, then the six brick houses in a row (from the north side, you can't see activity houses and mushroom houses) are even more peculiar. Now... it's not like a house made of stone or wood. How was it be build? ! (Except for the Huoyan Tribe, the other tribes have not chance to know cement)

Not to mention looking towards the southeast, that large neat alfalfa field and soybean field-the patriarch of Yu is also a well-informed old man, he just can't make it look like it should be artificially planted after spending a long time. The field that came out was connected with the Snow Werewolf tribe.

"Yu, that is... is that the pasture field you are talking about? Huoyan tribe really planted so many pastures?"

The patriarch of Yu, Caogen raised her rough bark-like hand, and tremblingly pointed to the purple flower field at the end of her sight , she... well, yes, the Patriarch Caogen is a female snow werewolf... On the way she came, Hearing Yu repeated many amazing feats of the Huoyan Tribe, but judging from she became the patriarch more than twenty years of experiment, she actually doesn't really believe that the Huoyan Tribe can be as good at farming as the tauren, because this kind of thing has never been heard~!

"It's true. We have helped to harvest pasture twice. According to the original plan, this batch of pasture was originally reserved for us, let us take it back... But the patriarch, after thinking for a long time, I still feel that we should not Just put your eyes on the pasture. This year the Huoyan Tribe gave us pasture, what about next year and the year after? Can we ask for so much pasture from the Huoyan Tribe every year?" 　　

Yu said with emotion. When doesn't need his deciding, his mentality was very clear.　　

The Patriarch Caogen nodded silently, seeming to agree with Yu. People who have lived under the pressure of survival for a long time have to be forced to develop their brains regardless of whether they want it or not... Patriarch Huoyan has only suffered in the past ten years. The Patriarch Caogen is different, and people have never felt relieved, so she knows the choice of the her own tribe-if the Huoyan Tribe has the means and ability to get rich, as the reliable Yu said in the tribe, then when an outsider who can only expect others to show kindness and merge into the tribe, everyone knows how to choose.　　

"Don't worry, everyone, wait a minute." Yu turned around and shouted at the commotion of the clansmen, pulling the large army to stay outside. He has a very good memory, and he still remembers clearly the set of "washing dust" he received when he first arrived.

Without letting the Yu tribes wait too long, the Huoyan tribe people left their work and rushed with various pottery pots filled with water... 　　

Shaved their heads, washed and changed clothes, boiled water, disinfected and boiled animal skins. Xiao Yun with red eyes (because of tired for work hard) and the manuls who came to help flew up and down with skinning knives and sickles, turning more than forty members of the Caogen tribe into bareheaded men who just came out of prison...

Not waiting for these new laborers to be surprised to see their real complexion, many people such as Patriarch Huoya and cub Fleece, they moved to the tall square steamers and quickly distributed the extra-large green vegetable and meat-stuffed wheat bead, and everyone had a fresh juicy radish; When eating with surprise, the strange cub (Xiao Yun), who was so busy with sweating, came to here to ask them their names and ages with one hand cloth rolled papers and one hand charcoal, and to register them one by one...　　

Caogen Patriarch, although she is an elderly person, also got the first level of treatment of labor (!!>=

After the registration was over, the Huoyan patriarch and a manul ran up to grab the Caogen patriarch, while saying some greeting and welcome words, while letting the cubs of the Caogen tribe help drive the cattle and sheep to the livestoke pen; As for the adults, they were directly dragged by their own tribe to join or build bricks or log or drag coal...　　

The dizzy Patriarch Caogen subconsciously helped drive the cattle and sheep, and drove the last sheep in and locked pens up. She discovered that the cubs of her clan were immediately taken away by the cubs who came to work (in fact, they were sent out to have a meal with Yun at that time), and did not need she distribute any work? !

It doesn't matter what the adult people where to go, but the cubs' whereabouts must be concerned about by Patriarch Caogen, but before she could speak any word, Patriarch Huoyan who was too anxious to hold her hand:

"Caogen patriarch, we are doing word while talking the situation of our tribe." 　　

Nothing is as important as doing work. Of course Patriarch Caogen would not refuse, and then she was dragged by Patriarch Huoyan to cook...Uh, cooking food...　　

The black stone in the large stove was burned in the sharing room, the whole heated bed can't sit on people, it's covered with dried radishes, and the open space in the room is also full of pots and pans that which were fullfilled with food need to be fermented. As soon as Patriarch Caogen came in, she was shocked by the wealth of the Huoyan tribe. Few tribes could get more pottery like here; this was not over yet, when Patriarch Huoyan brought out a basin of soap to let her wash her hands, and carefully shaved off the mud on her paws.... Then he held two huge earthenware bowl full of wheat flour and motioned her to help make the noodles...

"The manul is weak and can't knead too much wheat flour at once. We quickly put the noodles together, or else we will be hungry at night." Huoyan placed the pottery pot on the head of the heatable bed, adding water and greeted Caogen. "Put in water like me, knead the dough soomthly, kneading harder, the better you knead the dough, the more delicious the steamed wheat bread...Ah, be careful not to get the wheat flour out." 　　

Patriarch Caogen has an empty mind in her head, she clumsily followed Patriarch Huoyan. After the flour in the pottery bowl turned into a beautiful and chewy dough, Patriarch Huoyan took out two gray masses of "yeast" and signaled her to learn to add yeast to the dough...　　

The two bowls of flour are naturally not enough for so many people. The kneaded two bowls of dough were put aside to ferment, and the Patriarch Caogen was called by Patriarch Huoyan to pick up the empty pottery pots and ran, passing through the tribal square where people were busy doing things, and ran to the stone mill shed on the opposite side and fullfilled two more pots of wheat flour...　　

After kneading ten pots of wheat flour that about more than 200 catties. Patriarch Caogen who was also a habitual worker felt that her arms were almost gone and sweat is all over. That's it, she couldn't complain. Or wondering, because after the kneaded dough was put out and fermented, she heard Patriarch Huoyan, who was also tired and sweaty, muttering there: "This amount is twice the usual amount. It should be enough to eat for all people, right?" 　　

... It was to prepare food for the tribe. For Patriarch Caoge who brought more people than the other party to eat here, it is absolutely impossible to complain. She felt certainly guilty in her heart...　　

It's not enough to eat wheat bread under heavy physical labor. After Patriarch Huoyan taking a break for a while, and then dragged the Patriarch Caogen to continue working on food preparation and dragged her down to the cellar.　　

The cellar was dug outside the tribe to the northwest. The cellar dug to store vegetables was quite spacious. When she went there, Patriarch Caogen was stunned...The piles of Chinese cabbages, radishes and greens were taller than her!

"The Chinese cabbage can be stored long time. We are eating green vegetables now, and the green vegetables can't be kept in the cellar for long... Well, there are not many green vegetables left anyway." The Patriarch Huoyan squatted down and held the green vegetables in a sad manner. Patriarch Caogen was a little inexplicable...

It's no wonder that Patriarch Huoyan was upset, due to the yield of the vegetables that had been harvested was sincerely poor, and all of the people in the tribe shed tears. Later, Xiao Yun was afraid that the supply of vegetables wouldn't be shortage, so he plowed a more piece of the harvested wheat field and planted some seeds. More than a month passed. There was a little harvest, and the vegetables they eat now are rushed out of this batch--the seeds were not planted more much land because they really couldn't get manpower, so they have to cherish to eat them~　　

Took out more than two hundred catties of green vegetables and put them on a rattan trawl net, went straight to the drain to wash the vegetables. The hand-dug farmland water conservancy and large fields were shocked Patriarch Caogen again. When washing vegetables, they must separate the leaves, remove the roots, carefully wash the root mud, remove the insects hidden inside, and be careful not to squeeze her out of sweat again by cumbersome operations such as washing the vegetables.

The washed vegetables were brought back to the sharing room for processing. Patriarch Caogen was shocked to see Patriarch Huoyan showing off a long knife...

"We picked it up by the beach, Yu told you yet?" Patriarch Huoyan smiled friendly, holding the knife in one hand while pressing the back of the knife with another hand, and then start to cut vegetables, "The whole piece of vegetable leaves stuffed in the wheat bread is not delicious when steamed. So, cutting the leaves into strips and adding mincemeat to make fillings." 　　

After cutting the vegetables, Patriarch Huoyan pulling Patriarch Caogen again, they went to the lower reaches of the canal and dragged half of the lamb out of the ditch and washed it with running water.

"The lamb that had been soaked for a long time...Soak in the water to try to remove the blood in the meat, and the taste should be better. " Patriarch Huoyan carried the mutton and walked back, and did not forget to share his experience with the Patriarch Caogen. "In the past, our tribe had to eat one sheep per meal, but now one sheep is enough for us to eat for two or three days. Vegetables and wheat bread are better than meat. It's delicious, and the wheat bread are more ant-hunger." 　　

...Well, these words can definitely attract the hatred of ancient Chinese farm worker s who didn't eat much meat throughout the year...　

Patriarch Caogen silently followed the Patriarch Huoyan to process mutton. The specific process were: to remove the bones, to tick them out, to put them in an iron pot and stew the soup. The lamb is divided into half, cut into slices with a cold shining knife that is definitely a murder weapon, and rubbed with only a little green white salt, and mixed with the cut vegetables. .

The bones are not thrown, but they are more important than meat. Patriarch Caogen has never seen this operation, so when she asked carefully, Patriarch Huoyan said to her: "The bone soup is delicious. Because I was alone in the morning and I was too busy, so there's no soup in the food prepared for you. You'll know how delicious it is if you have taste in the evening." 　　

"..." Patriarch Caogen can't imagine how delicious it is, but she still secretes a lot of saliva... She thought about the soft and flavorful wheat bead. Needless to say, the fillings are very delicious and the outer skin is very delicious too. It has a peculiar aroma (in fact, it is wheat fragrance. The relatively primitive wheat has insufficient starch content and tastes not good, but wheat fragrance that is really can coax the nose), and there is a slight sweetness as well.

The two iron pots of lamb bone soup on the stoves slowly wafted out of aroma, and Patriarch Huoyan took the Patriarch Caogen to take out the enoki mushrooms wrapped in straw to wash, and took out dozens of kilograms of white radish to peel and slice... Regardless the total number added the goblins in the tribe only more than 100 people, but the amount of food have to prepare according to more than 400 people. It is really not easy-it is more than two hundred and forty catties with flour need to knead, not to mention other processing procedures up.　　

Enoki mushroom and radish don't put in the pot advance, the firepower of the large stoves on both sides must be used for steaming bread first. Using the assembled wooden boards as a counter, the patriarch held a thick rolling pin and flexibly spread the dough. Patriarch Caogen hurriedly learned to make oatmeal biscuits, and was reminded from time to time that the filling was too small, and the mouth was not squeezed properly. Yunyun, sweating all over again. The piled up square steamers were steamed one drawer after another, and when three hundred at least eighty-two-weight wheat cakes were steamed, the grassroots patriarch had almost nothing left to breathe...　　

"We snow werewolves everone has to eat three this kind of wheat bread like this for a meal, one goblin eats one and a half, one manul eats one, Qingyan barely eats two, and human Sal eats half, which is almost enough to eat." Huoyan, who was resting against the wall, panted.

The Patriarch Caogen raised her head in astonishment, and stared at Huoyan dumbly...Most of the tribes are assigned food by the patriarch, but everyone roughly distributes food based on experience. Like the Huoyan patriarch, he calculated it so carefully. Such a well-knowing Patriarch Caogen has never heard of it-most people simply can't calculate this number? No wonder the Huoyan Tribe can be so rich only a year after it has moved here!

Moved the steamer basket to the open space on the outside square, and again move the iron pot for cooking lamb soup to the stove, add sliced radish, add leftover green cabbage leaves, add enoki mushrooms... The two patriarchs were so tired that they vomited blood and finally had dinner. When the food was ready, the sky dimmed.　　

Patriarch Caogen, who rested against the wall likePatriarch Huoyan, suddenly heard the sound of water splashing outside, and went out out of curiosity... shocked! The lively people she had just brought here during the day were all tired and lied down the ground!　　

Is it the annihilation of wolf nature or moral sorrow? After only half a day, the cubs, when they set off, they curiously surrounded her and asked about questions, who wandered all the way anxiously, at this moment, they are all over lying down the field, and their faces are all tired to helpless with losing confidence in life!

Patriarch Caogen ran out in horror, wanting to ask her people what happened, but within two steps, her whole body became sore and staggered...

Patriarch Caogen: "..." 　　

She seemed to be tossed too lightly. Ah! Wow! Obviously she was just preparing food and doing the same work with Patriarch Huoyan! When can she be so tired even preparing food! She didn't even have the strength to talk and walk!　　

Patriarch Caogen who paused and panted, her eyes became particularly horrified when she looked at the people of the Huoyan Tribe again... Whether it is a cub or an adult, these people still have the strength to carry water to wash their hands and faces for everyone!　　

Hmm... Fortunately, Yu and other people who come to work here in last season can move freely at this time, otherwise Patriarch Caogen must think this is a conspiracy of the Huoyan tribe-too wolfish!

With the help of the active snow werewolves...the newly arrived newcomers who are not accustomed to such labor intensity washed their hands and sat down nearby. Every 20 to 30 people shared a pot of soup and eats soft and delicious wheat bread with warm lamb bone soup; It doesn't know if it's because of over-tiredness. The first dinner the newcomers come here can only eat two wheat bread, but the soup and vegetables are all clean. Even the soup pot had been licked though.　　

Hmm... Of course, the extra wheat bread will not be wasted, it will be heated again as the midnight snack after the night work.

When Patriarch Caogen was in the tribe, she was also responsible for distributing food during dinner. This work originally symbolized that the patriarch had the right to allocate resources within the tribe. She didn't think there was any problem with doing this by herself; that was... she was too much. I was tired and couldn't distribute it to so many people one by one, so I could only learn from the Patriarch Huoyan, and let the cubs and rabbits who were still able to move help distribute dinner together.

Patriarch Caogen probably never expected her. The first day she came to the Huoyan tribe, she was exhausted by the chef's work, because Xiao Yun considered her as the patriarch and specially prepared the "adaptation period" for her; of course, more importantly, after more than forty snow werewolves, the stamina of the manuls is not enough to prepare such a huge amount of food...Cooks have always been a job that requires physical strength.　　

Xiao Yun's eyes flashed as he watched the Patriarch Caogen reluctantly support her shaky body and asked the cubs to help her deliver food.

Paying attention to teammates tactically is the basic quality necessary for team leaders. He will not think that snow werewolves don't have to deal with them because of the stupid characteristics of snow werewolves; he will leave jobs that were not originally patriarchs to the patriarchs and let the first-class laborers come to be a chef is definitely a bit wasteful for Xiao Yun. When the domestication period is over, even the patriarch has to assume the responsibility of the first-class labor force.　　

How long is the domestication period of the Patriarch Caogen, it needs more observations...
