Females all love beauty.
Seeing how beautiful Hu Jiaojiao looked wearing the jade hairpin, Hu Jing was also very moved.
Especially after she got a partner, she also wanted to make herself look prettier to avoid the gossiping females in the tribe calling her a tigress all day long.
If she wants to be a beautiful tigress, she must be one!
Lu Mian'er pulled the tiger crystal and said, "This was found by Long Mo. It's not nice for you to ask this."
The orcs usually keep the resources they find to themselves and are not willing to tell other orcs.
Hu Jing scratched his head and changed the topic, "Then I'll exchange something with Jiaojiao. Jiaojiao, what do you want? I'll exchange it with you, okay?"
Long Mo's belongs to Hu Jiaojiao, so just discuss it with Hu Jiaojiao directly.
Long Mo was just left aside.
"No need to change." Hu Jiaojiao waved her hand, "But this stone was also discovered by Long Mo by chance. I don't know if I can find it again."
This thing is of no use in the beast world except that it looks good. If there really is any raw jade, instead of letting it be buried underground in the form of stone, it would be better to let other beastmen dig it out and make full use of it.
Although thinking so, Hu Jiaojiao still turned to look at Long Mo and asked for his opinion, "Long Mo, can you tell them where you found the stone?"
Long Mo glanced at Hu Jing, and thought of how Hu Qingyuan had helped him test poison... no, he had tested food, so he nodded readily.
The voice was indifferent, "I will tell Hu Qingyuan the location tomorrow."
This is consent.
Hu Jing grinned and raised his hand to pat Hu Jiaojiao's shoulder, but was stopped by Long Mo with a look.
Hu Jing smiled awkwardly, with an envious expression on his face, "Your Long Mo is still useful. Unlike Hu Qingyuan, he only knows how to catch these little bastards with little meat every day. I really don't know what's in his mind..."
She lifted the rabbit in her hand and complained.
As soon as she finished speaking, the rabbit in her hand kicked its legs as if in protest.
Qingyuan, the fox who was hunting in the forest, sneezed, "A-choo!"
"Strange, why did I sneeze suddenly..."
Hu Qingyuan muttered something and continued to squat in front of the rabbit nest.
The next day.
Long Mo told Hu Qingyuan the location, but he went to the stone cave first to pick out a pile of large stones, carried them all back home, and piled them outside the backyard.
Jiaojiao likes this kind of stone, so he wants to save some so that he can make things for Jiaojiao in the future.
Although there were many stones in the stone cave, not many were bigger than the washbasin. Long Mo picked up the big ones, and when Hu Qing left, he could only pick the big ones from the small ones.
As soon as the news spread, many orcs in the tribe knew about it.
When the females saw how beautiful Hu Jiaojiao looked wearing the jade hairpin, they were also attracted and urged their partners to find stones.
For a moment, all the orcs in the tribe went to the stone cave to pick up stones.
But most of the stones found are real stones.
A few stones actually yielded jade after being broken open, but it was extremely difficult to polish them. Not to mention using jade to make exquisite jewelry, even breaking the stones open was difficult.
Some orcs even had their claws worn off, but were unable to forge a hairpin as good as Fox Jiaojiao's.
In just a few days, the females' mood was like a roller coaster ride. They had piles of jade at home but didn't know where to buy it and could only stare blankly.
Even Ying Yuan can't do anything with jadeite.
Hu Qingyuan was lucky, as he found a teardrop-shaped one, which was also glass-type. Although it couldn't be carved into a tiger, he asked Long Mo to help him drill a hole in it, and then he strung the tiger crystal with a rope and hung it around his neck as a necklace.
Although it is not in the shape of a little tiger, Hu Jing likes it very much.
Under normal circumstances, Long Mo would definitely not help, but since he and Hu Qingyuan have a "deep" relationship, after Hu Qingyuan's constant nagging and agreeing to let him continue to taste the food in the future, Long Mo reluctantly helped.
The tribe was bustling with activity, and Hu Jiaojiao was not idle either.
Recently, Long Mo found some pomegranates in the forest. She planned to make some fruit wine with the pomegranates and grapefruits in the warehouse.
Persimmons can also be used to make wine, but now they are all made into persimmon cakes.
Hu Jiaojiao asked Long Mo to make some stone jars with better sealing properties, peeled the sleeves and pomegranates, and started working in the backyard.
It is troublesome to peel pomegranates, so several kids brought small stools to the yard to help.
Hu Jiaojiao prepared other materials, cleaned the stone jar, dried it and put it aside for later use, then took out rock sugar and white wine from the space.
Several cubs were peeling the fruits seriously, but Long Yao was the only one who was drooling. When Hu Jiaojiao wasn't paying attention, he peeled the pomegranate with one hand and secretly stuffed the pomegranate into his mouth with the other hand.
After Hu Jiaojiao prepared the tools and materials, she looked back.
There are a bunch of pomegranate seeds on the pomegranate peel on the ground...
It seems that it is all thanks to the little fat boy in front of me.
"Yao'er!"
Long Yao was caught eating secretly. He made a gurgle and swallowed the pomegranate seeds in his mouth without spitting them out.
He covered his mouth and blinked timidly.
"Mother, Xiaowu was wrong... Xiaowu couldn't control Jiji's hand..."
He didn't want to eat it secretly, but his hand insisted on putting the pomegranate into his mouth.
Hu Jiaojiao held her forehead and picked up the little guy.
"Yao'er, you don't need to peel it. Just take it and eat it."
He picked up the pile of pomegranates mixed with pomegranate seeds in front of him in an animal skin and placed it in his arms.
If you use the pomegranates peeled by Long Yao to make wine, you might end up drinking his saliva.
Hu Jiaojiao originally planned to give the pomegranate he peeled to himself to eat.
Long Yao held the pomegranate in his hands with a look of surprise on his face, "Mom, are these for Xiao Wu?"
"Yeah." Hu Jiaojiao nodded.
"Thank you, Mom! Mom is the best!"
Long Yao jumped up and down with excitement, and ran to the side with the pomegranate to eat it.
A few kids looked at Long Yao's greedy face and shook their heads in disgust.
If they hadn't seen Long Yao's dragon body, they would really doubt that this guy was not his mother's son.
How can there be such huge differences between babies born from the same mother
Without Long Yao, the kids progressed much faster and peeled the pomegranates and grapefruits in no time.
Hu Jiaojiao gave each of them a few grapefruits and pomegranates as a reward, and then started to make fruit wine.
Wash the pomegranates and grapefruits, dry them, and put them into dry stone jars respectively. Add an appropriate amount of rock sugar, pour in white wine to cover the fruits, and seal them.
After a month, the fruit wine can be drunk.
As for why she needs to add white wine when making fruit wine, it is naturally because she doesn't know how to make pure fruit wine at all, and it is more troublesome to make, so she tries this simple one first.
A stone jar can produce twenty kilograms of fruit wine.
Hu Jiaojiao brewed ten jars of each, a total of twenty jars of fruit wine.
She moved all the jars into the warehouse, and when she came out, she saw Long Mo walking in from outside the yard, with a layer of white debris on his body and hair.
A burst of cold air came in with Long Mo.
Hu Jiaojiao's eyes lit up, "Is it snowing outside?"
Long Mo took off the animal skin and shook it off, fearing that the coldness on his body would chill Hu Jiaojiao. He shook off the snow on his body before walking in and responded in a gentle voice:
"Well, winter is coming."
