【Quick Wear】My Years as a Mother-in-law

Chapter 329: Primitive Tribe Chieftain Mother-in-law 49

"But the lifestyle of those bird-beast people is quite backward. They are still living like savages, even worse than the original Cloud Tribe."

She no longer cared to listen to what the system said. The battle on the ring was getting intense. Yun Xi was so excited that she was wondering if she should go up on the stage and beat the guy up. But then she thought about her own strength and decided not to do it. If she didn't cripple the guy, Yue would pull her ears and scold her.

"It's an axe! It will be easier to chop wood and make furniture in the future."

"Iron pans can be used for cooking. I like this. It wasn't a wasted fight."

"A kitchen knife is also very useful. The tribe leader said that iron ore is red stone. We should pay attention to it when we go hunting next time. If we find it, we can make iron products."

"You're right. I quite like Tao's crossbow."

……

The Chinese New Year is just one month away, so we need to prepare this year's prizes as soon as possible. It's hard to give away such hardworking people in a different world with ordinary gifts. We also have to eat Laba porridge and fried hemp leaves and meatballs.

"Laba porridge?"

"Yes, it's Laba Festival on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. The purpose of the Laba Festival is to thank the ancestors and gods for their protection and to pray for a good harvest and good luck in the coming year." Yun Xi explained.

"The main customs of Laba Festival include drinking Laba porridge, soaking Laba garlic, and eating Laba noodles. Laba porridge is a porridge made from a variety of ingredients, usually including glutinous rice, sesame seeds, barley, longan, red dates, lily bulbs, lotus seeds, etc., and symbolizes reunion and good fortune. Soaking Laba garlic involves soaking garlic in vinegar, which symbolizes calculating the year's income and expenditure."

"We don't have that many ingredients. Let's cook Laba porridge with tapioca pearls, longan, red dates, lotus seeds, red beans, and mung beans. If you like salty food, add bacon and sausage. If you like sweet food, you can add preserved fruits." Yun Xi thought for a moment, "We can also make Laba garlic. I'll teach you."

If you don’t know how to make it, just let the system search for the recipe. There are no secret recipes in the 21st century.

Yu found a lot of wild garlic in the wild. Each family in the tribe distributed some as a seasoning, and there is still a lot left.

With that, Yun Xi made a prompt decision and took people to the warehouse to get materials.

Choose plump, undamaged garlic, remove the outer skin, and only keep the innermost layer of garlic skin. The peeled garlic cloves do not need to be washed, just keep them dry. Raw water will affect the pickling effect. If the garlic cloves are large, cut them in half to make it easier to absorb the flavor and turn green.

Choose a clean, oil-free ceramic jar, blanch it in boiling water and let it dry, making sure it is free of oil and water to prevent mold during the pickling process.

Put a layer of fructose at the bottom of the ceramic pot. If you don’t like it too sweet, you can put less or no fructose, it’s harmless.

Put the processed garlic cloves into the jar, arrange them neatly, pour in rice vinegar, the amount of rice vinegar should cover the garlic cloves, and make sure the garlic cloves are completely immersed in the vinegar.

Yun Xi wanted to add some flavor and layering, so she added a small amount of salt to the vinegar, stirred it evenly, and then poured it into the jar.

Put the lid on the pot, make sure it is well sealed, and place it in a cool and ventilated place away from direct sunlight. It can be placed in a warm place during the day and in a cool place at night to use the temperature difference to accelerate the greening of the garlic cloves.

After waiting for a while, the garlic cloves will gradually turn emerald green and can usually be eaten in about a week.

The Laba garlic was placed in the corner. Shu had already led people to cook a lot of Laba porridge. A child named Xiong Ye from the tribe squeezed forward and drooled at the Laba porridge.

"Whose child is this? Why are you so anxious?" Shu asked lovingly.

Two people in the crowd changed their expressions and tried to squeeze in. Yun Xi stood up and stretched and just happened to see this scene.

"What are you two doing?"

"Hey! It's okay, it's okay."

The two of them stopped in embarrassment.

Yun Xi stepped forward, and the crowd automatically made way for her. "Whose child are you, and what's your name?"

Xiong Ye lowered his head and whispered, "Xiong Ye."

Yun Xi looked at Cai inquiringly. Cai came out and explained, "Xiong Ye's parents are both deceased. A childless couple in the tribe adopted her. Now she is Xiong Li and Xiong Mei's child."

"Looking at her condition, she must be hungry and cold. From now on, all orphans will be raised by the clan until they reach the age of eighteen. After that, they will be given a courtyard."

Yun Xi pinched the child's shoulders and lifted her clothes. As expected, she was just covered in a layer of tattered animal skin. Her body was skinny and bony, with some obvious pinch marks and bruises. The soft-hearted tribesmen were already wiping their tears and cursing.

"Xiong Li and Xiong Mei will each be given twenty lashes. If they happen again, they will be expelled from Golden City and left to fend for themselves." Yun Xi asked, "Is there anyone else whose orphans have been adopted?"

Cai pointed them out one by one.

Tao and his men captured Xiong Li and Xiong Mei on the spot, pressed them to the ground and beat them with wooden sticks in front of everyone. Before the two could beg for mercy, they were beaten so badly that they couldn't make a sound. Many people looked terrified.

Yun Xi made the final decision and said, "Send them all to the orphanage across from my palace and let them be raised by the clan."

"Here, Chief, we are not abusing the children."

"Yeah, we can't just generalize."

"Clan leader..."

Yun Xi glanced at everyone indifferently, "Sending the child to the orphanage won't prevent you from loving the child, but it will prevent the child from being abused. If a child is abused again, it won't be handled so simply. The Golden City will not welcome those who abuse children, and the totem spirit will expel such people."

These words echoed word by word in front of the Golden Palace, accompanied by the increasingly weak breathing of Xiong Li and Xiong Mei, and were deeply imprinted in the minds of the tribesmen.

Xiong Li and Xiong Mei were beaten so badly that they were sent back home with only one breath left. Yun Xi saw that they had chosen a large two-story courtyard and directly ordered them to move to a smaller courtyard, saying that they were not worthy of living in such a large courtyard.

No one pleaded for them, not even Yun and Cai. Wu Gui took the opportunity to kick them twice, still as wretched as ever.

After the matter here was settled, Yun Xi decided to send someone to the north to contact the group of bird-beast people. After all, they were neighbors, so it would be better to "establish diplomatic relations" with them. He could also take the opportunity to find out the other party's attitude. Friendly people have friendly ways of getting along, while hostile people have hostile ways of getting along.

"Shall I go?"

Wu was overjoyed and stood up excitedly.

"Yes, Ying will lead the team this time, along with Falcon, Tiger, Falcon, and Wu. Falcon, Tiger, and Falcon will be responsible for the journey, while Ying and Wu will handle the negotiations." Yun Xi said, "The Falcon beastmen are very fast, Falcon has a natural affinity for animals, and Anjing can be the mascot. Wu is quick-witted and intelligent, so you will be in charge of connecting with the bird beastmen."

"Chief, do you have any other purpose?" Wu asked in a low voice.

Yun Xi praised: "You are very smart. You need to try your best to find out their attitude towards our neighbors. I need to confirm whether they are enemies or friends."

"Okay, leave it to me, Chief."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Falcon Tiger. If they encounter danger, bring them back immediately and don't linger." Yun Xi instructed.

"it is good."

After seeing the four people off and watching them fly north, Yun Xi took advantage of the two children falling asleep to enter the space.
