CHAPTER 788: 【757】BEAST WORLD FARMING 67 (1 MORE UPDATE)_2

Then he looked at Lang Sen, "So these people will be working at our house from now on?"

Lang Sen nodded, "That should be the case,"

"How much work do they have to do to make me feel it’s worth it? They eat too much,"

"Sister, you’re not going to cook as much as you did today for them in the future, are we? We’d go bankrupt! From now on, that amount is their daily ration, not per meal. If they eat like this, we don’t even need their labor, kidding aside. Even our pigs don’t eat that much!"

"What do you plan to have them work on?"

Their food was eaten, Tiantian used a stone pot to cook more rice, Lang Sen and Lili cleaned up outside, and after washing, they came over to help Tiantian pick and cut vegetables because they were planning to stir-fry soon.

After frying in the large pot, they poured everything into smaller stone pots to stew so they could sit together and eat warm food. For this, they even made a triangular stove that could fit three stone pots over charcoal, which produced no smoke.

One pot of braised pork, one pot of Tomato and Egg, and one pot of home-style tofu stew, and finally, on the fire outside, they also cooked a pot of Tomato and Egg soup.

During the meal, Tiantian finally said, "Lang Sen, you’re still in charge of the cave. Don’t let those beastmen eat all our stored food."

"For their work, they’ll start by picking corn, then they can operate the stone mill to grind flour and press oil, pick cotton—there’s plenty of work, just nothing too heavy. This way, a few of you can free up time to continue ironing at the cave. Remember, ironing work should not be entrusted to outsiders. It’s crucial as a foundation for our Nandi clan to establish itself in Beast World."

It wasn’t that Tiantian was unwilling to spread the word, but she feared these things could bring disaster to their clan, so the best approach was to barter, or sell. They could make and sell iron, bronze items to exchange for labor or goods as long as the trade was fair.

Other seeds were available whenever external clans needed them, and they could also help teach farming.

The precondition was that these people wouldn’t cause trouble within their clan during their stay, such as...

"Tonight, I’ll sleep over there, after all, we have to keep an eye on our livestock, just in case these people sneak over,"

Vigilance was always strong around Tiantian’s household.

"Don’t worry, the Clan Leader has assigned people to watch them to prevent them from running around our clan and eating everything,"

"Hopefully, we aren’t thinking too ill of others!"

However, that evening proved her right, as it was their first day and they hadn’t been assigned any work. They had a full meal at Noon, and in the evening, they weren’t invited over but were sent a pot of steamed buns with some pickles.

Even though it was a makeshift meal, it was still better than other households, as when it came to food, theirs was the best in the entire clan.

So, that family dined under the envious gazes of others on delicious and fragrant food, to the extent that someone even proposed to the Clan Leader that the dining should rotate — not always at the same house. The Clan Leader, spotting the steamed buns he hadn’t tried before, decided then and there to implement a rotation: today at this house, tomorrow at another.

During the day, they had chopped many trees with iron axes, and by eight or nine o’clock that night, they had their tents built. They were provided for free with straw curtains and mats to have a place to stay, and the location chosen was a wind-protected grove within the clan.

To prevent the ground from being too cold, they layered quite a few straw mats and stacks under their tents. Although living together was troublesome, for survival, this was the best condition they could be offered, and any discontent had to be endured.

When they arrived, they all brought beast skins, and later, each Nandi household provided an extra one to ensure their quarters weren’t cold, though it was just enough to prevent them from freezing inside the beast skins.

Logically, after a hard day’s work chopping trees and building tents, they should rest well after a hearty meal, right?

Yet, some did eye the livestock reared by the clan. Tiantian’s house, guarded by Lang Sen, was spared, but other households had not anticipated this layer, and so outside their hastily built tents, a murder occurred. Animals have a sense of crisis and wouldn’t stupidly wait to be captured.

The chaos in the chicken coop immediately alerted the cattle, sheep, and pigs in the three enclosures, causing them to start crying out. With those cries, did the beastmen not awaken?

Then the brainless thief was caught and brought before the Chaga Clan Leader, looking so embarrassed he couldn’t lift his head.

The man’s punishment was harsh—working all day tomorrow without any food, and if he resisted, he would be banished from the clan.

This beastman was a single male who knew that banishment meant becoming a Wandering Beast, so no matter how harsh, he had to endure the punishment.

But because of this man, the Nandi tribe began to guard against the Chaga Clan.

In response, after the people of Nandi had left, the Chaga Clan severely criticized and condemned the man.

This was the same as how locals treat outsiders.

Because who would want one bad apple to spoil the whole barrel?

The next day, indeed, another group came to work at their house, the Chaga Clan implemented a rotation system, so there was no need to rush; everyone would get a turn.

Since they were there, each was given a large sweet potato: "This is your breakfast. Eat up and get to work!"
