MTL - Be a Leader In a Primitive Tribe-Chapter 113
Meals are cooked quickly.
Six people chose a small table, so they could talk easily if they were close together.
A pot of chicken soup, a plate of potato balls, the potato **** are steaming, the oil is barely enough at this time, it is impossible to fry them.
A plate of dried salted fish, a plate of fried tofu, and a plate of green vegetables.
It's not big fish and meat, it's all home-cooked stir-fries. Regardless of the leader and foreign guests, it is almost the same size.
But for the others, it is definitely a good dish for a table.
Everyone gave out a cup, and Hong smiled and picked up the wine jars and filled them up one by one.
Sang Yu greeted them to eat two bites of rice first, and drink on an empty stomach can easily hurt their stomachs and get drunk.
It's just that before the words finished, Hong had already swallowed a cup, sticking out her tongue from the hotness, shouting that it was too bitter.
Seeing this, Ya was not to be outdone, and stewed in one bite.
After drinking, he had a strange face, but then the skin on his face turned red.
"How, how do you feel?" Sang Yu asked with a smile.
"I don't know, this thing has not yet reached the stomach, and it will go straight up in one breath, and it will hit here directly." Ya pointed to her Tianling Gai.
She said with some insatiable intentions: "It's bitter and spicy, but it's also strong enough. Let's have another cup."
Seeing this, Sang Yu said, "Don't be in a hurry when drinking, take your time, the more impatient you are, the easier it is to get drunk, and you will have nothing to do later."
Then Ya put down her wine glass and said, "That's right, I came here to eat good food, how can I be delayed by this thing."
After talking, I went to look for chopsticks.
It's just that I suddenly felt that there were many overlapping shadows in front of my eyes, layer upon layer, and I wanted to grab the hand of the chopsticks, but caught the person beside me.
"What's wrong with these chopsticks today? They are soft and comfortable to hold."
Mei's face flushed immediately, and she struggled to retract her hand and said, "Young leader, you caught the wrong one, here are the chopsticks."
Ya shook her head, looked at the things in her hand again, and realized that she really seemed to have grasped the wrong thing. So he took another look at the table, and after confirming the position of the chopsticks, he stretched out his hand slowly this time, and finally caught the chopsticks.
Everyone else looked at the scene in disbelief.
Hong even said without hesitation: "Young Master Ya, do you want to touch our Meimei's hand, you can touch it with chopsticks."
Only Sang Yu smiled, "She has a body that pours in a glass."
"A cup?"
"It means just pour it after you have a drink."
"It hasn't fallen yet."
"It's almost there. I think it's a little difficult for her to pick up food tonight."
"But I drank it just now, why didn't she react so much."
"You may not drink to the top, and you are not easy to get drunk."
Hong suddenly realized, "So that's what it means, it's fun and fun, then I can drink all of you down by myself."
"That's not necessarily the case. We each have one cup, and you take turns to drink five cups."
"Yes, not all of us are the same as Chief Ya Shao, who pours in one cup." Bai rolled up his sleeves not to be outdone.
"A cup? What the hell, why did I pour a cup? Didn't you see that I'm still standing here?" Ya was not convinced.
But when I reached out to hold the salted fish, I couldn't hold it up several times.
Seeing this, Mei couldn't bear it, so she reached out and put a few pieces of each dish into her bowl.
It's not impossible to just pick rice from a bowl and put it in your mouth.
Ya's dinner was finally served, first she praised Sang Yu's craftsmanship, and then said to Mei: "You are so kind, without you, I really wouldn't be able to have dinner tonight."
The others laughed and scolded: "What are you talking about? Could it be that without Mei here, we would make you starve."
Ya put down the bowl, crossed her arms and said, "But it was indeed Mei who picked up the food for me just now."
Everyone booed once, and Sang Yu hurriedly greeted her for dinner.
Seeing others toast, Ya wanted to have another drink, but unfortunately the others ignored her.
She had to eat angrily.
But even though it was just a small drink, it was soon apparent how much the big guy was drinking.
Red is the most powerful, followed by feathers, Baimei and Sangyu are average, and Ya is the most delicious.
Sang Yu stopped drinking after only two cups, and ate vegetables slowly with Ya.
After Ya put some food in her belly, the smell of alcohol slowly dissipated, and she was able to talk properly.
But he still couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "What are you making? If you drink it, you will lose your mind. If you drink this stuff before going to the battlefield, you will not be able to fight."
"So drinking is a mistake, but as long as you have a small drink, you can strengthen your courage. It's not a big problem. One or two sips in winter can warm your body. If there is a big problem, you should drink carefully and drink less at ordinary times to avoid addiction."
"Yeah, don't look at it as bitter and spicy, that kind of strength is quite comfortable--I actually really want to have a little more, hey--
It was just like this at the beginning, and it will be fine in the future. But for a while, I really felt that I was not afraid of anything. "
"These things are good and bad, just in moderation."
"By the way, that's what I want to say. By the way, I promised you last time that I would send you some people to repair the road after taking your tools. This time I brought people."
"Then why don't you tell me earlier, I don't know if Gao has prepared well, and dinner can't be sloppy." Yu couldn't help complaining about Ya's sloppyness.
"No need to worry about it. I left them halfway. Didn't you repair a section a year ago? I asked them to set up camp nearby. From tomorrow, we will continue to repair your section."
Hearing what she said, Sang Yu was really moved. Although it was an exchange, but to do this, it really has Ya's sincerity in it.
"I accept your wish. A glass of beer wine expresses my heart. Thank you for your thoughtfulness. I'll toast. Just take a sip as you please, otherwise you won't be able to talk properly later."
After Sang Yu finished speaking, he fell in.
Seeing her chic movements, Ya was envious, but she could only sniff the cup to give up.
"I brought a hundred people here and asked them to bring their own dry food, and they can also hunt around. We will be self-sufficient by then."
Sang Yu smiled and said: "Do you think my Phoenix tribe is so stingy? Don't worry, I can't let your people do it for nothing. Tomorrow, I will arrange for someone to drive two big fat pigs for you, so that the tribe can eat enough." work."
"How can this be considered a waste of time? The hole in the batch of tools changed last time has not been filled. If you continue to do this, I will be embarrassed to take things next time I want to take them."
"It's just two pigs. Don't pay too much attention to them. Only when they come and go can they last forever. Between two tribes, it is impossible to seek equality in everything. Everyone can benefit from each other, so that life can be long."
Ya smiled, "Your words make sense, I'm quite convinced."
"Then your father is here this time..."
"After he came last time, he couldn't forget it when he went back. He has been waiting for you to open a school here, and he wants to enroll quickly. When the snow stopped, he saw me sending people to build the road, so he followed. I stopped him. I can't stop it."
"Okay, let him live in the new place. We have a new old gentleman here. He will have a companion in the future, but the ugly thing is that you sent the old father here yourself, and I didn't detain your people. Hostage."
Anyway, bronze wares have appeared one after another in various places now, and she didn't want to continue to hide the matter of iron smelting.
At that time, it will be confused to declare to the public that the Phoenix Tribe is only smelting bronzes, and the rest, as long as the foreigners don't get close to the ironworks and the industrial area by the river, the rest will not be a big problem.
"Do you care what people outside say?"
Sang Yu thought for a while and said, "I originally wanted to say that I cared, but if you take such a big hat off, I have to say that I don't care anymore."
After hearing this, several people burst into laughter.
Seeing that Ya especially liked eating that plate of potato balls, Hong couldn't help but said, "Young Master Ya seems to like eating sweets very much, like a child."
There is a small plate of potato balls, and a small plate of honey next to it, which was harvested by people from the tribe to pay tribute to Sangyu.
Potato **** cannot be deep-fried and lose their crispness, but they also have a special flavor when dipped in honey.
"Who stipulates that children can only eat sweets, and I also like sweets." Mei said.
"Adults eat meat, and children eat sweets. When I have a child in the future, I will raise a nest of honey under the eaves. At that time, I will have honey to eat without going up the mountain." Hong smiled authentically.
Seeing their innocent appearance, Ya suddenly said, "I really have a child."
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent instantly.
Sang Yu also looked at her in surprise. This woman had never mentioned to herself that she had children before, at most she had said that she had been married.
But they also don't like each other in a chaotic way, that person seems to be still with someone else, and then died or something.
Moreover, Ya is tall and has long legs and a well-proportioned figure. She doesn't look like someone who has given birth.
"Didn't I just say that I had a good time with someone, and when he died later, it was the child I had at that time."
The three people present, Yuhongbai, were young and inexperienced when they were in the Bird Tribe. Sangyu was an exception, and having children was a bit strange to them.
Only Mei lowered her head silently and did not speak.
Ya smiled awkwardly: "Seeing you all so happy, I'm ashamed to say I have a child."
In fact, for Ya, Sang Yu was a little strange before. In primitive tribes, girls aged 13 or 14 were about to find a match. When I first met Ya, I felt that she was about 20 years old. At that time, I didn’t think much about it. , I preconceived that she was single just like myself.
It wasn't until later that Ya told her that she had a partner and that the relationship was gone, that she belatedly remembered that it was normal for this to happen.
Now that I think about it carefully, a woman who is in good health and finds the right woman can't justify not having children.
Now everything looks logical and finally connected.
"What are you embarrassed to say about this? Isn't it a one-stop thing to get married and have children?" Sang Yu continued to eat with the chopsticks in his hand.
Ya smiled, "I'm afraid that if I'm so out of touch, you won't like to play with me in the future."
Everyone shook their heads to express that it was impossible.
Sang Yu even laughed and said, "They are all eighteen or nineteen years old now. If they get married, it will only take a year or two to have children. By then, everyone will be different."
Hong is someone who has a partner. She is in full swing at this time, and said carelessly: "My family and I plan to register next month. If there is no accident, the baby will be born next year."
When the others heard what she said, they couldn't help but tease her about it.
The dinner table was bustling again.
Ya regained her mood, and turned her head to ask Sang Yu, "What do you plan to do? It seems that you don't want children anymore."
Yu, who was originally drinking with her friends, heard Ya's question, and couldn't help but cast her eyes here.
Sang Yu pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Didn't they all tell you that all the children in the tribe are my children, why should I suffer this myself?"
As someone who has experienced it, Ya knows how hard it is to have a child.
"That's what I said, but you Phoenix tribe, don't you want to hand over your own flesh and blood in the future?"
"Seeing that you look like a dog, you actually have this kind of thinking. In other words, your rock tribe will also hand over your children in the future. Hey, I haven't asked your children if they are boys or girls. Are you Still have patriarchal thoughts?"
Ya smiled, showing two rows of neat teeth.
"It's a girl. I met you a few months after she was born."
Sang Yu couldn't help but blinked: "Then you've recovered very well."
When I first saw Ya, she looked heroic, but she didn't look like a woman who had just given birth.
"It's okay, it's not that difficult anyway, I found that when my belly was big, I gave birth within three months, and it didn't feel too difficult, but it was a little painful when I gave birth.
But I just passed it. A few days after the birth, I still went hunting with the hunting team, and I didn’t feel uncomfortable. Anyway, I just came here. "
After hearing this, Sang Yu felt her jaw drop.
This woman is so powerful.
Is it just her being so strong, or are all primitive tribe women like this.
With the body I'm wearing, it's absolutely impossible to be like them.
"Everyone in the tribe is like this. They rest for a few days when they are born. If there are enough people, they will stay in the tribe to take care of them. If there are not enough people, they will go out to collect together."
For a moment, Sang Yu felt that whether all the measures he had taken on infants and pregnant women were good or bad.
If there is no change, the woman's body will become stronger and stronger as the crisis rises, and it will repair itself.
With the improvement of living conditions, people have become more and more delicate.
However, such thoughts just flashed in her mind. Living conditions must be improved. This is the focus of future work development, and this cannot be changed.
Take giant pandas for example, the babies come out in just over four months.
Normally speaking, the precocious or late maturation of offspring of a species is formed after tens of thousands of years or even longer time of development and evolution, which can be regarded as the most suitable way.
If the situation permits, the time for the pup to develop in the mother's body is of course as long as possible①. Because the living environment of the dumplings is harsh, they are often attacked during pregnancy, which forces the dumplings to evolve, giving birth earlier, reducing the time the child is in the womb, and thus reducing accidents during pregnancy.
As a result, these newly born red pandas are still just meat **** when they come out.
So those thoughts just now were quickly thrown away by Sang Yu.
"Bring your children over another day and show us aunts."
Ya smiled and said, "She is with my father now."
Everyone was stunned for an instant.
"Here, it's fine if you hide from us that you have children. The children have all come to our territory, and you still don't show us. It's too disrespectful."
"I... just thought it was too sudden, cough, it's just that my father came to Xindi last time, after seeing the school, I thought I could send her here, and learn to read with other children. In the future-
If there are no accidents in the future, these words and your culture will definitely spread.
When the time comes, knowing how to read and write will become a very important skill. She is weak. If the rock tribe is still the same as before, she can't control it, the tribe will change. "
It turned out to be like this, Sang Yu suddenly realized in his heart.
Primitive people are not stupid at all, they can perceive the dynamics of future development better than they imagined.
Ya had never talked about children, but when talking about these things now, the expression on her face became a lot more tender.
Mei on the side didn't say anything in silence after the other party revealed that she had a child, but she was still listening attentively.
Seeing Ya's soft side now, she couldn't help but couldn't move her eyes.
Ya was already good-looking, and she also met the evaluation criteria of beautiful women in the hearts of modern people like Sang Yu. She was not of the same type as this little friend of her own, and it was not easy to compare. But now Sang Yu's heart is on Yu's body, and her aesthetic balance is also tilted to her side.
But I have to admit that some people are beautiful there, and they can't ignore it if they want to.
Moreover, Ya's move undoubtedly brought the relationship between the two tribes closer.
She is willing to send her children to study here. It can be predicted that more tribes will be willing to send their children here in the future. At that time, the Phoenix tribe will be able to win a lot of resources by relying solely on cultural output.
Thinking of this, Sang Yu couldn't help but beam with joy.
"Then bring it here, your child, and I will arrange for someone to take good care of it."
"You can't take care of her too much. She is weaker than other children. If you take care of her separately, I'm afraid it will ruin her life in the future."
Sang Yu has never met her child, and she doesn't know what kind of weak method Ya is talking about at this time.
But she also roughly understood what Ya wanted to express.
So he said: "If she stays, I will guarantee her personal safety, but other than that, as long as it does not involve life or other things, I will not interfere, okay?"
Ya nodded, indicating that what Sang Yu said was exactly what she wanted to express.
"After all, the Rock Tribe doesn't have such good conditions as the Phoenix. She has to be strong. Otherwise, if she encounters a big event in the future, she will fall when the wind blows, and it will cause her more pain than the small bones she is eating now."
This is indeed reasonable, Sang Yu said with a smile: "If I don't expect it, your father must love her very much."
Hearing this, Ya said angrily: "Most of her temperament is spoiled by my father."
"I'm afraid you do not spoil me less. You were raised by your father, and he will spoil you too. How come you have not become weaker, but have become so outstanding? I think it is because you have too high demands on your children."
Ya was stunned, without retorting, and said: "Anyway, if I lose you here, I will see her less, and I won't be with the clansmen. At that time, she will figure out her own way and rely on herself."
Sang Yu patted her on the shoulder and said, "Poor parents all over the world."
"Okay, then I will arrange her to go to the student dormitory. But don't worry, the dormitory conditions in our school are not bad.
For children who have no parents or their parents are not around, there are life teachers who will take care of them in a unified way and treat them equally, so you can rest assured. "
Ya nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Look, I owe you another big favor. How can I repay it?"
"Being loyal to the alliance, building roads well, and guarding your iron mines are the greatest help to me."
"Don't worry about this, of course."
Ya and Sang Yu have been muttering here, and the others are also talking about themselves when they are drunk.
Only Mei looked a little lonely and didn't drink much, she was in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
After eating for a long time, the dishes were cold, so Sang Yu got up and went to the kitchen to warm up some dishes.
Ya slightly moved the stool closer to Mei, and asked, "What's the matter, I see you've been bored all night tonight."
Although she had a slight liking for Mei, she just said a lot about her daughter, and her mood calmed down a lot, and she no longer had the intention of molesting the other party, but she couldn't help caring when she saw the other party's sleepy appearance.
Mei listened to her comfort, raised her head and smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm not used to drinking, I'm not feeling well."
"If you're not feeling well, go back and rest earlier. I'll tell Sangsang, where do you live, and I'll take you back."
"Forget it, you poured this cup." Mei finally had a smile on her brows and eyes.
Ya curled her lips in embarrassment and said, "Then I'm the same as you, neither of us can drink. But it's better now, and I can walk with you to enjoy the breeze."
"Then I'll talk to the leader." Mei said, standing up.
But Ya grabbed her and said, "If you're not feeling well, just sit down and I'll talk to her."
Mei watched as she stood up slightly swaying, and stretched out her hand, but finally took it back.
The weather at the end of March is still a little bit cold.
After the two came out of Sangyu's small courtyard, they couldn't help wrapping their clothes tightly when the wind blew, which was scorching hot from drinking.
The Rock Tribe has been doing business with Phoenix for the past two years, and has also changed a lot of clothes, both linen and silk.
But Ya was wearing silk clothes at this time, while Mei was wearing sackcloth. Although she also sent two pieces of good material, she was not willing to wear them all the time.
When the wind blew, Ya's clothes fluttered.
"You look pretty good in this outfit, just looking at it like this, you look like a leader."
"Really?" Ya didn't feel any similarity between herself and that weak woman at all.
"It looks like it, but you are stronger than her."
Ya heard this adjective and smiled.
In this era, everyone advocates strength, and she is quite satisfied with her current state.
"You were a little..." Ya thought for a while, but couldn't think of a word to describe Mei's feeling.
It was a lonely feeling.
May turned her head and looked into her eyes.
It's a pity that it was very dark outside, and only the torches on the side of the road could barely illuminate the ground.
"Hey, I don't know how to describe it. But I know that you are a little bit unhappy, but looking at you also wants to make myself happy, but it doesn't work."
Mei didn't expect that someone like Ya could care so carefully in such a drunk state just now.
She had always been used to being ignored, but she couldn't help but feel a little subtle when she was so cared about by a single person.
But she still smiled and said, "Really not, but I'm glad you noticed this."
