Volume 9: Home Chapter 313 Lion Tribe Work Arrangements
"When will Tea Bear come to help?"
General Gloria, who was cleaning the pigsty with her sleeves rolled up and a mop in hand, heard this question for the tenth time and finally couldn't stand it anymore. She kicked Rex down with a flying kick, and then turned the mop upside down and poked Rex with a series of beautiful gun flowers, making him scream: "Tea Bear! Tea Bear! Tea Bear! I told you to keep talking about Tea Bear from morning to night! Without Tea Bear, can we not raise pigs?! Without Tea Bear, can we not live!"
The lions nearby rushed over to persuade him: "Calm down, General! If we injure him, we will have one less person, and we will have more work to do!"
"Yes, General, we have only cleaned half of the pigsty this morning!"
"Although Rex can only do half the work of a human being, it's better to have him than not..."
"That's enough!" General Gloria said angrily, "It's his business if I beat him up. Don't take this opportunity to slack off! Don't stop what you're doing, keep doing it!"
The exposed male lions scattered in embarrassment and continued .
General Gloria looked at their dead looks, her hands holding the mop trembling slightly... If she wasn't afraid of delaying things, she really wanted to beat all these guys down, making them unable to get up for ten days or half a month.
During another meal, when the leaders of the four tribes sat together to exchange experiences, the general of the lion tribe couldn't help sighing, "Why did we bring all male lions? Half of them would be fine! Winter is only one month away. If we keep going like this, how are we going to run the breeding farm in the spring with those guys?"
Elder Kuku silently patted Gloria on the shoulder, and the elders of the Fox Tribe, Aloi and the Wing Tribe, also expressed their sympathy with their eyes...
"Or, why don't we ask the Snow Werewolves to help give them another military training?" suggested the Wing Clan elder.
Gloria sighed again, "I want to, too, but the Snow Wolf Army is rushing to clean up the monster nests around Fire City in the last month of winter. Marshal Yu is out leading the team, so I can't bring myself to ask for it."
The Wing Clan elder shrugged. There was really nothing we could do about this...
The Cursed Land is close to the Samar Snow Mountain. The Demon Realm Gate in the snow mountain also has an impact on the Cursed Land, and monsters and demons are extremely rampant. The troops of Huoyan City carry out a "sweep" of the entire Huoyan City surrounding area at least once a year to drive away or eliminate those monsters that breed or wander over. After the year-end summary meeting, Yu, Xiaohua, A Tian and other generals did not stay in the city for more than three consecutive days. It is indeed not appropriate to borrow people from them at this time.
"Well... our tribe members who are involved in the logistics of the Grand Canal project are going to set off with the Centaur transport team the day after tomorrow morning." Fox elder Aloi said, "General Gloria, will your people go with us?"
Gloria forced herself to stay alert and nodded, "I have arranged for some people to follow us and familiarize ourselves with the route. Elder Kuku, what are your arrangements?"
Elder Kuku was a little embarrassed: "All of our people hope to learn more in Huoyan City. That... I was just about to ask Mr. Ayun to stop my people from participating in the transportation of materials..."
Transporting thousands of miles is hard work, but it is definitely not as hard as working in the Fire City. The three thousand male lions of the Lion Clan almost fought for this quota. Elder Kuku, who lives in the same dormitory area, knew this... In order to prevent General Gloria from thinking that he was showing off, he deliberately concealed the fact that Mr. Ayun had already agreed to it...
Elder Kuku tried his best to be humble, but General Gloria's eyes still turned red when she heard him.
"We have been neighbors for so many years, why don't those bastards learn from your good qualities as Tea Bear!" The lioness said with envy and jealousy on her face.
Elder Kuku could only smile innocently: "I think the lion tribe (lionesses) are also very hardworking..."
Seeing this, the elder of the Winged Tribe quickly brought up a new topic to avoid the awkward atmosphere among everyone: "Elder Aloi, can you foxes still adapt to the farm work of the grassland people?"
Elder Aloi immediately complained bitterly - the fox tribe was cold-resistant and adaptable, but their endurance was a little lacking, and their physical strength was not as strong as that of the snow wolf tribe and the bear tribe, so they were despised!
What annoys Aloi the most is that the cat clan is the one that dislikes them the most and most obviously!
This made Aloi have a lot to say... No matter how poor the fox tribe's physical strength and endurance are, they are still about the same as the cat tribe! Do you have a basis for despising us so much? We have just worked for a few more years and have more experience. How can you be so picky about us!
"That's how the cat tribe is. Just get used to it." General Gloria and the Winged Clan elders consoled in unison.
Elder Kuku didn't say anything, but it was obvious that he agreed with this...
Well... after spending a long time together, especially with the straightforward and naive Snow Wolf tribe as a comparison, the cat tribe's pretentiousness is indeed easy to accept...
"Actually, you are still relatively lucky. We of the Wing Tribe are all in the woolen mill, garment factory and craft factory. Our co-workers are either humans or cats. That's really awkward." The Wing Tribe elder sighed, "If you don't do well, they will laugh at you. If you do well, they will exclude you... Didn't the Eagle Tribe from the garment factory fight with those leopards in the square last time? In the end, both sides were criticized and no one got any good results. The Eagle Tribe people came to me to seek justice, what else can I do? I can only try my best to appease them..."
"Not only that, one time one of our young men accidentally watered the peppers too much, and the cat tribe leader who led him said nothing. When several groups met and there were more people, this cat tribe member brought up the mistakes made by our people in public and embarrassed them in front of hundreds of people. Even if you beat him up in private, it wouldn't be so hurtful!" Aloi said angrily.
General Gloria also looked unhappy: "After we cleaned the pigsty, the cats in charge of inspection would wipe it with a white towel..."
Seeing that the three of them were getting more and more excited in criticizing, Elder Kuku was a little entangled... The cat tribe would not look at the tea bears with disdain. Although they would let them do work that was not related to planting, they would also give them some benefits after they finished the work, and they would often give tea bears snacks - but if they did not join in saying bad things about the cat tribe, it seemed a bit unsociable...
The leaders of the four tribes complained countless times during the meal, but it did not affect their subsequent work. After returning, they continued to be responsible for the "learning" internship of their own tribesmen.
As for what they had said at the dining table in the cafeteria, a cafeteria employee relayed it to Xiao Yun that evening...
The grassroots tribe leader who stayed in Xiao Yun's room to discuss work arrangements after the spring was very embarrassed, so embarrassed that his whole face turned into a "囧" shape.
"This is my fault. I only considered letting them adapt to the work rhythm here as quickly as possible. I didn't pay attention to how they get along with our own people. It was my oversight." The grassroots tribe leader made a self-criticism with a shamefaced look.
"Teeth and tongues will bump against each other. How can there be peace when the Far Eastern orcs, whose living habits are different from ours, bump into us grassland people? Friction is normal, and it's abnormal if there is none. Don't mind it." Xiao Yun smiled, "They are still upset about the cat tribe's pettiness, which shows that they are willing to live here for a long time. Who would care about the attitude of the locals when going out to play? Right. For example, when we go to the human kingdom, we won't care about how others are picky and disgusted."
The Grassroots chief nodded, thought for a moment and said, "That being said, it's not good to let them continue to have conflicts with the cat tribe. What do you think, should we call Fishbone back to take care of the cats in the tribe?"
After taking over the bear tribe resettlement work, Caracal Qiu started to hang out with the bears. The woolen mill was handed over to someone else. Now this cute iron-blooded man is fighting on the front line of the Grand Canal project. He probably won't come back until the project is completed.
Chief Arthur, Xia and Qingyan were all in charge of the cat farm, and none of them could spare the time, so they needed to find someone who could keep the order. Chief Grassroots naturally thought of Fishbone (Rosemary was definitely not an option) - this leopard had been leading the work team for several years, and now he was transferred to the MSG factory to take over Chief Grassroots's business. Now that the workers at the MSG factory had returned to the southern continent for the winter, he was free, so he lent him to Hongye after winter to help with work in the Hilly New District.
Xiao Yun shook his head and said, "Hongye is under great pressure to produce, so let Yugu help her for a few more months. As for the cat tribe, their farm is being built along the section of the Grand Canal, so they will have to deal with the cat tribe anyway. It's not a bad thing to start adapting to the cat tribe's temper now."
The Grassroots Chief disagreed: "That's not what you said. I think you seem to be a little too indulgent to the cat tribe in this regard."
Xiao Yun stood up, pulled out the bench he was sitting on, and let the grassroots tribe leader see the uneven bite marks on the legs of the bench.
Grassroots Chief: "Uh..."
Xiao Yun sat back and said calmly, "This is a 'gift' that Ruhua left behind when she sneaked into my room to take a nap. It's just a small flaw in her nature. As long as it doesn't interfere with our work, we should tolerate it. In the past, goblins also had a kleptomania, but no one was disgusted enough to drive them away."
The goblins who were used to living in poverty could not help stealing small items when they first arrived at the tribe. Even the first batch of people who entered the tribe, such as Old Shamen, Baron, and Gar, only got rid of this habit after eating enough food for a few months. The thick-skinned Snow Wolf Man did not take this matter seriously. Now that Xiao Yun said this, the grassroots chief vaguely realized that something was wrong...
To be honest, each tribe actually has quite a few minor flaws. The Snow Werewolves are good at destroying things. No matter how sturdy a hoe or shovel is, the wooden handle must be replaced after one month of use, and it needs to be remade after three months of use. There is basically no piece of clothing or bedding that does not have holes in it, and the number of utensils they break is countless. In the past, when everyone was extremely poor, these guys would be very careful and would feel very sad if a bowl broke off a cow's horn. Now that supplies are not so tight, no one is so careful and they will break this or that if they are not careful.
As for the centaurs, the door panels that were kicked apart by their "feet" are definitely enough to build a holiday villa. Every year, there are several people who get kicked away because they accidentally stand behind them.
Gray dwarves seem to have no problems. Most of the new hill area is supported by them. They are hardworking and easy to get along with... But this is only in the eyes of outsiders. They like to quarrel with each other behind closed doors. They have argued countless times about whether the goblins' mining can save their investment in mining and allow them to focus more on smelting and forging, or whether the goblins are taking advantage of them. Some dwarves are so angry that they declare that they will never cooperate with someone again...
"Well, even though our cat's temper can't be changed, it certainly won't cause any trouble." The grassroots chief said with a bashful look on his face.
The two put this matter aside and continued to discuss the issue of the lion tribe.
"I don't think the lion tribe can run a good breeding farm." The Grassroots Chief put the evaluation of the lion tribe's work performance by the Animal Husbandry Department on the table. "It's not that we dislike their male lions for being too lazy, but from our observation, the lion tribe as a whole does not have much enthusiasm for breeding livestock and poultry."
Xiao Yun was not too surprised to come to this conclusion after working with the Grassroots Clan Leader for two months...
Although Gloria expressed her desire to raise meat, the Golden Plains was not poor after all, and the lions had a relatively easy life - the poorest single lion could get enough food and clothing. When it came to the motivation to improve their living conditions, the lions did not have as much sense of urgency as the tea bears, winged lions, and foxes.
Snow werewolves, cats, centaurs, gray dwarves, goblins, snakes, streetwalkers, why can these "natives" of Fire City endure hardships and work? Because their original lives were simply unbearable! When the hope of improving living conditions appears before their eyes, they will do their best to grab it!
Of course... no matter whether the Lion Tribe has a passion for breeding or whether they can work hard and sweat like their general hopes, for Xiao Yun, it is impossible not to utilize the labor force in front of him - he has been thinking about adjusting the work arrangements for the Lion Tribe for a long time!
"In that case, let the Lions plant the battle trees." Xiao Yun said, "As long as they can fight and not be hammered to death by the trees, it's fine. We will give them the same treatment as the Yale tent of the Tigers. General Gloria can still use the money her people earn to deliver the supplies the Lions need."
"What about Hajime and the others?" The Grassroots Chief blurted out subconsciously, and then she expected that she had said something stupid, "You mean, open another battle tree farm?"
"Yes." Xiao Yun stood up and walked to the bookshelf to flip through it, then found the map and spread it on the table. "The adventurers from Elf Port are moving deeper and deeper inland. They are a mixed bunch of people. It's not a good idea to let these lawless people wander around our lair. Let's build the Battle Tree Manor to the right of the Snake Clan, and the Lion Clan will go down to plant trees, and they can also help us guard the gate."
"...Why do I feel that your 'incident' is the main purpose?" The Grassroots Chief asked doubtfully.
"How could that be? I'm not that kind of person." Xiao Yun said nonchalantly, "The climate of the Golden Plains is more suitable for the growth of battle trees. They have gained experience in growing them and can bring the tree species back home to plant. The Lion Tribe can generate income and we have multiple raw material suppliers. This is a win-win situation. There is no such thing as plastic products being eliminated or having their market taken over. Last year and the year before, we sold more small items such as plastic buttons and plastic cups and plates than ketchup. For us, there is absolutely no such thing as too many raw material production sites."
"Wait, we can ship the battle trees planted by the tiger tribe from Yale Tent by sea, but how do we transport them to the Golden Plains?" The grassroots chief frowned.
"...It's a good thing to devote yourself to your own business, but you can't ignore other things, grassroots chief." Xiao Yun was distressed. "Do you really think that after five years, no, three years, the Beast King will still have the energy to take care of the issue of opening the York Mountain Range route?"
