"You are a female, so you need to eat salt. Although there is not much salt, you can use it first. I will find a way to get salt later." Long Mo frowned and said seriously.
It was as if what he gave to Hu Jiaojiao was just a lump of salt.
This was the salt he exchanged with the tribe leader after mating with Hu Jiaojiao. At that time, there was plenty of salt in the tribe, so the tribe leader gave it to him reluctantly.
He had originally planned to give it to Hu Jiaojiao at that time, but he didn't expect that after that day, Hu Jiaojiao would dislike him in every way and drove him out of the tribe in a miserable state.
He put the jar of salt in the forest and never took it out again.
Hu Jiaojiao couldn't help but twitch her lips when she heard this.
What do you mean by not much? This is a big jar of refined salt, it’s not too much!
Even if she didn't have the supplies in the space, she would have no problem surviving the winter with just this jar of salt.
She seriously suspected that Long Mo was in Versailles.
"No, no, there's already a lot of salt. You don't need to worry about the salt anymore, really."
Hu Jiaojiao quickly spoke up to stop Long Mo.
I was afraid that he would have some misunderstanding about "little".
But Long Mo just thought she was comforting himself. Although he didn't eat salt, he had seen it in the tribe before, so this little bit of salt was nothing.
I didn't expect that after she got better, she would be so considerate.
He couldn't let her suffer any injustice!
"If there is not enough salt, just tell me. You don't have to worry about the salt." Long Mo warned.
"It's enough, definitely enough."
Hu Jiaojiao nodded quickly. Even if these were not enough, she still had salt in the space.
She carefully brought the salt into the house, placed it in her own cabin, and wrapped it in animal skins.
Salt is so precious in the orc world, and these salt dragon inks must have been stored for a long time. Although she is not short of salt, she always feels that the salt in her hands is precious.
This is the salt given to her by the villain himself!
After putting the medicine away, Hu Jiaojiao took Long Mo to have breakfast, which saved her the trouble of leaving any food for him.
After eating, Long Mo went out hunting.
The wood at home was almost burned out, and the five cubs went out diligently to collect wood. Hu Jiaojiao stayed at home fiddling with the vegetables in the field. These days, the radishes and rapeseed she planted have also sprouted.
Potatoes are also growing vigorously in the fields south of the tribe.
Aside from the salt issue, everything seems to be going in the right direction.
only…
Fox Jiaojiao looked at the wood in the yard that was burned out as soon as it was burned. Recently, a lot of wood has been used for cooking, and the cubs have been diligent in collecting wood. But this is not a solution. When winter comes, they will not be able to go out to collect wood.
Wood burns too quickly, so even the most abundant wood will soon be used up.
Without wood, we wouldn’t be able to make a fire to keep warm in winter, and living in a stone house would be very painful.
It seems that we have to find a way to make some charcoal. Charcoal has a long lifespan, burns for a long time, and is easy to preserve. It is the best choice whether it is used for barbecue or heating.
Thinking of this, Hu Jiaojiao made up her mind to go to the clan leader to discuss the matter.
It would be best if everyone could store enough charcoal before winter comes so that they won’t suffer from the cold in winter.
After watering the radishes and rapeseed and weeding, Hu Jiaojiao was about to go out to look for the clan leader. However, before she left, someone came to the house.
"Little sister! Are you at home? Look what good things I brought you, little sister..."
Hu Jiaojiao heard the noise outside while she was in the wooden house. She went out and saw a strong and tall male standing in the yard. It was her elder brother Hu Qingshan.
"Brother, why are you here?" Hu Jiaojiao looked confused. Shouldn't brother be hunting at this time
Why are no one active in hunting today
"Little sister, I'm here to bring you something. Look what this is?" Hu Qingshan smiled, walked forward, and took out a animal skin package as big as a head from behind.
Open it layer by layer, lift up a corner, and reveal the white salt inside.
Salt again?!
Hu Jiaojiao was stunned and stammered, "Big brother, where did you get so much salt?"
Although it doesn't seem to be as much as Long Mo's salt, and the salt is not as beautiful as the salt in Long Mo's jar, and it is also formed into small lumps inside, but so much salt is also a considerable fortune!
Hu Qingshan wrapped the salt and stuffed it into Hu Jiaojiao's arms. A tall and strong man smiled gently and dotingly:
"This is the salt that Big Brother has saved over the years. You can use it first, little sister. If it's not enough, Big Brother will find a way."
"Don't worry, Big Brother won't let you go without salt!"
As he spoke, he patted his broad and strong chest and assured in a strong voice.
Hu Jiaojiao hadn't recovered from her shock yet, and quickly pushed the salt back, shaking her head.
"Brother, this is too expensive. I don't want it. You can take it back to Dad and Mom. You also need salt. I don't need salt for the time being, really."
"Don't worry, I have left salt for them, and these are for you. Just take them since your elder brother is giving them to you." Hu Qingshan did not give her a chance to refuse and pushed the salt back directly.
He only has this one precious sister, so of course he has to give the salt he saved to her.
Otherwise, is he so big and strong just for show
"Brother, I really don't lack salt. Long Mo also brought back a lot of salt today, enough for us to eat." Hu Jiaojiao explained while holding the salt, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Hearing this, Hu Qingshan frowned, his tone somewhat disdainful:
"Long Mo? How much salt can that guy bring back? Don't be polite to me, little sister. Collect it quickly and don't let other orcs in the tribe see it, otherwise they will definitely come to steal your salt."
The salt in the tribe is publicly owned. If you want to store it privately, you have to exchange it for food. But after all, there are only a few orcs who have enough food.
Most orcs rely on the salt from the tribe to survive and do not store any salt of their own. If others knew that they had salt now, they would definitely be jealous and it is possible that someone would have bad intentions.
"I understand, big brother. I will hide well." Hu Jiaojiao had no choice but to nod in agreement. She knew that this was big brother's good intention.
She was not generous enough to give away the salt that Long Mo and her elder brother had saved with great effort.
only.
Thinking of Hu Qingshan's deep misunderstanding of Long Mo, Hu Jiaojiao still wanted to defend Long Mo, "Brother, Long Mo is actually not as... "
"Okay little sister, I'm going to go hunting. If you have any problem, just tell me and I will definitely help you solve it. I'm leaving now!"
Before Hu Jiaojiao could finish her words, Hu Qingshan left like a gust of wind.
Fox Jiaojiao: "..."
This big brother really means what he says.
Don't give others any chance to speak.
Hu Jiaojiao sighed, turned around and went into the house to put Hu Qingshan's salt and Long Mo's salt together. Before she got up, she heard another burst of shouting from the yard.
"Little sister! Look what good things your second brother has brought you, little sister..."
