Chapter 105: Completely Defeated by You
[Ding! Congratulations Host had received Low Grade Assistance: one bottle of floral water.]
Su Bai rolled his eyes and complained, [Seriously? Just a bottle of floral water? That’s the worst one yet.]
It had been several days since returning from the Spotted Deer Tribe. Besides the eight Assistance Packages opened on the first night, he had opened two more Assistance Packages. One was an umbrella, and the other was a packet of lettuce seeds.
[Fine. Fine. I guess floral water is fine too. There are many mosquitoes in the Tribe. Applying some at night might help me sleep better…] Su Bai tried to convince himself. He placed the floral water on one side of the table and began to ponder how to develop the Tribe.
[Papermaking will have to wait until we find the raw materials, and Grandfather Gu Mu’s stone mill can’t be rushed] Su Bai frowned and continued to think about the next on the list, [As for quill pens, we haven’t found suitable materials for it yet, so that would have to be put on hold as well.] He sighed. He realised that many things just were not ready yet and had to be on hold, hindering progress.
[Well, the lettuce seeds have not been planted yet. I also haven’t checked on the chilli peppers. They might actually grow faster in this era. Their growth rate still needs to be confirmed so that we can estimate if they can be harvested before the rainy season arrives.] [For now, we can only have the people produce large quantities of linen to trade with. We need to increase the trading volume to exchange for more things, to develop faster…] He tapped his index finger lightly on the table, thinking about the next thing: animal husbandry. [Animal husbandry would be a major pillar of the Tribe’s economy, so it needs to be quickly implemented.] Su Bai picked up the charcoal and started writing on the Animal Hide, [The first step is to build an enclosure, and the second step is to capture some wild animals…]
Soon, the Animal Hide was covered with drawings of rabbits, sheep, cattle, and other animals, along with a rough sketch of a farm. [At this point, we can only raise herbivores. After all, we are already having a challenge feeding our people with meat.]
In this era, the best way to convey orders was through drawings, since most could not read. Thus, any writing was useless at this point in time.
Drawing for them what to find would be more efficient and increase the chances of finding the right things.
[It’s good that I learned the basics of drawing back then. Otherwise, I really would not have been able to draw these.] Su Bai smiled.
