Chapter 294 Small talk
"Hey, didn't your cub go out with the hunting party? How much meat did you get?" An old orc who was kneading animal hides nudged his companion.
The old orc's eyes narrowed with laughter. "The High Priest is merciful. Each of the warriors who went out hunting this time received half a month's worth of rations!"
An adult male orc's daily ration is three catties of meat, which would amount to nearly fifty catties of meat per person every half month.
Don't underestimate these fifty catties of meat. They are currently building the city, and their daily meals are provided by the city. They don't need to use work points separately. These fifty catties of meat will be a considerable fortune if stored until winter!
Thinking of this, the old beastman's smile widened. Not only that, his cub had grown a lot since he went out. Before, he had been complaining that he didn't want a mate, but after returning yesterday, he started pestering him to introduce him to cute beastmen.
He said he wants a partner!
Thinking of this, the old orc's smile was impossible to hide. "Our city lord really knows how to train people!"
He was getting old and only had one cub. Logically, once the cub grew up, it would be able to live on its own, and he wouldn't have to worry about it anymore. But the old beastman couldn't rest easy.
He had seven cubs in his life, but only this one survived. The first six cubs were either swept away by floods, carried off by wolves, or were too weak to survive.
When the seventh cub was born, he treated it like a precious gem, afraid of dropping it or melting it. He didn't know how to raise male orc cubs, and to make matters worse, the cub's father had died while hunting when he was young.
The old orc had been troubled by the fact that he had raised a perfectly healthy male orc cub to be somewhat timid and introverted.
Unexpectedly, after going hunting with the city lord, the cub has changed so much since returning. He is now tall, steady, and reliable, and his former shyness has completely disappeared. The old orc is so eager to kowtow to Wolf Cang!
His cub said it wanted a mate, so he'd better save all this meat and resources for the cub and its mate.
"Both the city lord and the high priest are good people; they will surely live to be a hundred years old!"
At this point, the old orc's expression showed some gratitude.
His companion, upon hearing this, remarked with great emotion, "Our lives are truly much better now."
I was wondering whether I wanted to go down the snow mountain, since I've grown attached to a place after staying there for so long, but I never expected it to look like this down there!
"That's right, if you ask me, no tribe has such a good life as us."
They ate meat soup every day, lived in nice houses, and even had such precious pottery to use as tools. The sub-beastmen never imagined that they would actually touch pottery one day.
I heard that the hunting team brought back many milk-producing cows, so the little ones in the tribe will not only be able to drink goat milk, but also cow milk!
The warriors no longer need to brave the freezing cold to search for wild beasts for the milk of their cubs, and the cubs will no longer die from lack of food.
How could such a tribe not grow strong!
The two sub-orcs chatted casually, but their hands didn't slow down at all.
All the animal hides that are stripped off must be recorded.
