The next day, Hu Ling'er was still sleeping in when she heard the noise outside the cave.
The tiger boss gathered the tribesmen early in the morning and prepared to take the males to the mountains to mine iron ore.
"We can't grow crops in the cold season, so we just took this opportunity to forge iron.
Niu Qiang said that he can make various farm tools. If he can produce farm tools, they can be used when the snow melts," said Boss Hu.
"Chief, my family is short of an iron hoe. After you make one, can you give me one?"
"My house is missing an iron sickle. It would be really hard to cut the grass without that thing."
"And me, the stone pickaxe Xiaodong made for me last time is broken, so I might as well make an iron one and it can be used for a long time."
Everyone was excited, so Boss Tiger stretched out his hand and pressed it down to signal everyone to be quiet.
"You will have everything you mentioned. When Niu Qiang is born, you can exchange it with the work points you have accumulated.
Everyone, please work harder. When you have accumulated more work points than you can use them all, you can come to me to exchange for a piece of land. The land in your hands will be your own. You can plant whatever you want! You only need to pay for it every year.
It’s enough to hand over a quarter of the harvest.”
"What? Can we change the land?"
"The land after the exchange is yours?"
"This is great! If you do some work now, you can have enough to eat. If you have your own land in the future, won't there be endless food?"
"When I run out of food, I will bring back two more cows to raise, and then some chickens. Then won't we be able to eat meat every day?"
"Who says it isn't!"
"..."
The words of the tiger boss made the tribesmen excited. They rushed up the mountain as if they had been injected with blood, and they were even more active than when they were chopping wood and burning charcoal.
Boss Tiger nodded: Mom is right, material rewards can indeed make people full of motivation.
…
This year's weather seemed to be a blessing for everyone. After the first snowfall, it didn't snow again.
It took a month for the iron-making base to be built.
Niu Qiang led everyone to smelt and forge, and Hu Dong also participated and improved many of the weapons he designed.
Shang Hua still had to wait for Luoma to be planted before she could have any work, but seeing that the Niu family who came with her had already contributed so much to the Fanshan tribe, she couldn't hold back her anger.
She went to Hu Tian and said, "Chief, we can't carry it with our hands or bear it with our shoulders. Please see if there is anything suitable for us to do and arrange it. After all, we also want to earn work points so that we can exchange for land in the future."
The temptation to make the decision for yourself is too great. Who can not be anxious?
"I know that Miss Shang is very skilled in craftsmanship. How about you teach the females to do needlework?" said the tiger boss.
"If there are any in the tribe who don't know how to make clothes, or who find the animal skin skirts they make ugly, the girl can help them make them and let them trade with you for work points."
"This is a good idea!" Miss Shang said with a smile.
Shang Hua prepared for two days in a row, and then taught everyone the skills of making clothes at noon every day when the sun was at its strongest.
Although her own business was promoted, the results were not very good.
Fanshan people only want to keep their work points in exchange for materials and fields, but no one is willing to exchange their work points for clothes.
In their own words: After coming here for so many years, everyone looks down but never looks up, so what does it matter whether the animal skin skirt looks better or looks ugly?
In the early days, everyone would get together and chat without washing their faces or brushing their teeth in the morning. How could life be so particular?
When Shang Hua was worried, Hu Laoer came to her door and became her first customer.
"Brother Hu Er, why are you here? Do you want to make a beautiful animal skin skirt?" Shang Hua quickly took the animal skin that Hu Er brought over.
Hu Laoer said a little embarrassedly: "It doesn't have to be good-looking, just ordinary."
"I don't know how to do ordinary things. Besides, if you want ordinary things, go home and ask Mrs. Hu or Mrs. Hu to do it for you." Shang Hua joked deliberately.
"I don't want to trouble them." Hu Laoer's face was a little red: "Since... since the children's mother left, my mother and my sister-in-law helped make the clothes for the children. They also have their own clothes.
We need to make clothes, and my sister-in-law and siblings are very busy now, so can't you exchange for work points? I'll just exchange them for you for work points."
The three brothers of the Hu family are all tall and powerful, and they stand very imposingly in front of others. The second brother of the Hu family is whiter than the other two, because his eyes are big and he looks a bit delicate. This combination of strength and elegance makes him a good person.
The females look very attractive.
"You have a conscience and know how to care for others." Shang Hua said: "You are my first customer here. It is cheaper for you. Your clothes will be calculated based on three work points, and the two Zaizai's sum will be calculated.
Three work points, okay?" Shang Hua said quickly.
"Okay!" Tiger Er nodded.
He can earn five work points for a day's work in the mountains. In this way, he can make three animal skin skirts with one day's effort, which is still very cost-effective.
"Don't just say yes." Shang Hua took a look at the animal skin and said, let the two little cubs come to me in a while, I will measure the size, if there is any leftover material, I will make another hat, you can also help
I promote publicity.
"I don't know how to do this. I'm stupid and don't know how to promote it." Hu Laoer quickly refused.
"No, you just have to wear it out, and when people ask whose craftsmanship it is, just say it was made here." Shang Hua said while looking up and down Hu Laoer's figure, "I'm still very good at my craftsmanship.
confident."
Although the second tiger is married, he still feels a little shy when the female looks at him like this.
He mixed his hands together, twirled his thumbs up and down, and stammered: "Then...then I'm leaving. I'm going to call my two little cubs over."
After saying that, without waiting for Shang Hua's reply, Hu Lao Er took a step to leave.
"Wait a minute, let me measure it for you first." Shang Hua quickly called him to stop him.
Then she took out a wooden stick and made gestures up and down on Hu Lao Er's body.
Finally, when she finished measuring, Hu Lao ran out of the door without saying a word.
Shang Hua looked at his back and said with a smile: "You are quite a big man, why are you still shy? It's really interesting."
Tiger Er ran home, his heart still beating wildly.
When Shang Hua came back with his eldest brother and the others, he only thought that the girl was pretty, but he never expected that she was so courageous and had a bit of a fierce personality.
"No, I can't go anymore. After I finish making this outfit, I'll have to trouble my mother and sister-in-law in the future." Tiger Er thought.
