CHAPTER 774: 【750】BEAST WORLD FARMING 60 (2 MORE UPDATES)

Of course, besides metal ores, there were also rocks that could be used to make stone mortars and stone tools. If they found a lot, they would gather a lot, and Tiantian would help transport several more trips. However, the Beastmen would definitely have to hurry with the cart to pull them; otherwise, how could they explain how these stones were transported back, right?

Because ironing required a great deal of wood, the females and young Beastmen who were resting at home began to go out to collect firewood.

It was precisely because the industrious Nandi Clan, even in the cold of winter, that Tiantian found the shortcut to their imminent rise.

Therefore, in addition to collecting wood, they also brought back hemp, mulberry bark, vines, moss, and plant stems they saw, and then went to the cave to teach them paper making. These plant fibers were flexible, so they needed to be boiled, mashed, and turned into a sticky paste, evenly spread into a sieve basket, then pressed with a heavy object after a slight drying to be successful.

Besides making going to the toilet more convenient, she also planned to teach them numbers and characters. Only in this way could the Nandi Clan’s written and spoken language communication become more convenient.

Perhaps due to the setback of the Beast Tide in the previous two years, this year’s wild beasts were unusually quiet and showed no intention of invading.

The Beastmen worked hard, so Tiantian was not stingy; she took out delicious food from home, carrying a basket to deliver it to the Beastmen engaged in ironing.

The staple foods included rice, steamed buns, corn cakes, sweet potatoes, yams, potatoes, and noodles, while the main dish was a mixed stew. However, once ingredients like glass noodles, cured meat, spiced meat, seafood, lotus, tofu, and others were added to this stew, its appeal increased significantly, making everyone happily eat more while also growing envious of the treatment of Tiantian’s house Beastmen.

Of course, this also inspired them to work harder, and even the Beastmen who originally felt they had come here to suffer were now eagerly rushing to learn.

Whenever the females saw something different, they would humbly ask for advice. They were pure and kind, thinking only of their own Beastmen, which made Tiantian even more willing to help these diligent and eager-to-learn individuals with not so many bad intentions.

Of course, there were also those who sought shortcuts out of laziness; the best way to deal with them was through the temptation of delicious food. Once the Beastmen heard about the good meal over at the ironing site, they would rush over, and the females, when lazy, would feel excluded when they realized everyone around was learning, and they were the only ones who weren’t.

So, without the need for anyone to push them, they naturally picked up the pace because everyone knew that everything they were doing was related to the development and strengthening of the tribe; only with a strong tribe could the females and the cubs be assured of protection and safety.

Everyone was smart, and some things did not need to be spelled out explicitly.

Besides cooking and delivering food, Tiantian also took the time to teach the females how to recognize some of the new ingredients she had discovered. She popularized what these ingredients could be used for and said she was willing to provide seeds in spring and teach them to plant if they were willing to plant.

As more females joined the large classroom, she prepared a sandbox and began to teach them and the little cubs how to count.

Then, based on some pictographic characters, she taught them to write, using words to express their thoughts.

Of course, given the differences in the learning environment, the focus was still on learning numbers, weather changes, and solar terms, with the characters as a supplementary aspect.

On top of learning numbers, they also introduced the rope knot counting method, which was a more basic and understandable method.

Tiantian was busy from morning to night, needing to keep working and talking so much that she had to drink a lot of dandelion water every day to keep her throat moist and not affected by the heat.

In this way, after more than a month, when the Cold Season was about to end, they finally crafted the first iron cartwheel which, being equipped with gears and anti-slip measures, indeed seemed safer and more reliable than the wooden ones, bringing joy to the whole tribe for several days.

Led by Pan Lin and Jin Han, a hunting squad of twenty people set off first, driving the horse carriage loaded with essentials such as salt, condiments, tile jars, utensils, wood, stoves, food, and warm blankets, necessary for their hunting expedition. The remaining people continued to build the next horse carriage, preparing for future replacements.

During the Cold Season, Tiantian did a lot: spinning fabric, making paper, producing sugar, sauces, vinegar, and she also made a lot of dry food for Jin Han and the others setting off.
