Chapter 92 Gossiping
A few days later, many stone mills were built in the tribe, and people went to check on the wheat seedlings every day.
"Do you know what this is called? When it produces grains and turns golden yellow, it's ripe and ready to be harvested. Then we grind the grains into flour and use it to make steamed buns. They're delicious! You've never had steamed buns before, have you?" The females of the tribe were gossiping.
“Who says we’ve never eaten steamed buns? Last time, when Weiwei’s family was building a house, my husband went to help and brought back ten steamed buns. Those steamed buns tasted really good.”
“Right! My husband also went to help and brought back steamed buns. I think he did the right thing. I spoiled him for half a month, and he was so happy.”
"Two of my husbands are participating in this wheat planting, so they'll get a bigger share of the flour. I'll pamper them a bit tonight." He said, still grinning.
Look, this woman's conversation has veered off course again. She started by talking about steamed buns, and now she's talking about her beastly husband. If she keeps going, she'll veer even further off course.
On the snake tribe's side, their wheat grows the best. Their land is fertile, and they manage it carefully. The snake chief looked at the vast wheat field and said to his eldest son, "I want to go to the lion tribe tomorrow. We haven't figured out when this wheat will ripen and when we can harvest it. Keep an eye on the tribe. If you don't understand something, ask the elders. If anyone comes to provoke us, deal with them directly."
"Don't worry, Father, I know what to do."
"Hmm, you need to be decisive. You don't have the same boldness as Youhao. Indecisiveness is for females, you're a male." After saying that, the snake leader left without looking back.
The eldest son was left completely bewildered. Over the years, his father had always doted on his younger brother the most. It turned out that in his father's eyes, he was a half-male, half-female beastman. He was a little sad, but thinking about it, it made sense. From childhood to adulthood, Youhao had always been so outstanding, whether in his work or in a fight.
He secretly resolved to perform well and hope to gain his father's approval.
Two days later, the snake chief arrived at the lion clan. Youhao saw his father and asked, "Father, is there a problem with the wheat?" Youhao knew that his father had just come to see the cubs not long ago, and even if he missed the cubs, he wouldn't come again so soon.
"The wheat is growing very well, there's nothing wrong with it. However, I'd like to learn more about the process of growing wheat," the snake leader said.
“Father, you’ve come to the right place. I’ll take you to see the stone mill.” You Hao even took out some wheat grains and ground them while explaining.
“Father, after you return to the tribe, you can first arrange for someone to grind the stone mill. Wheat usually sets grains within a few months. When the grains turn golden yellow, it means they are ripe and ready to be harvested,” Youhao said.
The snake leader listened attentively, nodding occasionally. He also asked some questions about wheat planting and management techniques, which You Hao answered one by one; these were things he had learned from Lin Weiwei.
“Father, stay for two more days before going back. The tribe has also built many stone mills, you can go and take a look. Haven’t eaten yet? I’ll get you some steamed buns, they’re made from flour we grind ourselves, they’re delicious.” After saying that, Youhao happily went into the kitchen and took out a bowl of steamed buns.
After eating three buns in one go, the snake chieftain said, "These are even tastier than the previous buns. If the wheat harvest is bountiful, the tribe will have new food to eat. Hao'er, your father wants to thank you, and also thank Weiwei, for bringing so much help to our tribe. Your father is incredibly proud to have you as his son." After saying that, he felt very hungry, so he finished the entire bowl of meat buns and even let out a burp. That was truly satisfying.
The snake leader ate to his heart's content, and decided to stay a few more days to learn more about wheat.
Over the next few days, Youhao took his father to visit the wheat fields in the tribe, allowing him to observe the growth of the wheat himself.
The snake chief was deeply moved, realizing that this miraculous crop would bring tremendous changes to the tribe.
Finally, the snake chief returned to the tribe with a bountiful harvest.
He eagerly shared his knowledge with his people and began preparing for the upcoming bumper harvest.
