Chapter 10 Good Days

In February of the 16th year of Mongolia (1221), since the first snowfall, winter has completely dominated both sides of the Hailar River. The grasslands, forests, and lakes are covered with snow, and the sky and the earth are covered with nothing white.

At this moment, all outdoor production activities in Chunzhi Village were suspended, and everyone could only concentrate on a relatively warm indoor. According to Ulutus' plan, while conducting literacy training, small indoor workshop production was carried out.

Blacksmith workshops, carpenter workshops, food processing workshops, paper workshops, wool textile workshops, etc. have all ushered in the maximum start of construction. Due to the sufficient labor force, food processing workshops that require a large number of people are the first to complete the production and processing of bacon and sausages.

Looking at the room full of bacon and sausages, many of the participating ministries felt indescribable satisfaction. This is the reliance of the tribe for spending the long winter! Although I haven’t tried the taste myself, just looking at these meats, you don’t have to worry about being hungry.

Based on the principle of using everything to the fullest, the animal's internal organs, Ulutus, is not wasted. For example, it is made into a hot pot and eaten!

Unfortunately, there are no chili in this era, which makes the hot pot always lack a little taste. Otherwise, it will definitely make people feel how pleasant it is to eat spicy hot pot in the cold winter.

However, in the eyes of the ministries who have been exposed to hot pot for the first time, it is also a kind of alternative satisfaction when eating hot pot inside and outside in winter.

What's more, they usually eat fresh meat from the lowly slaves. They always offer the freshest and most beautiful sheep to their owners. If they are lucky, they can only enjoy some scraps.

And this is already a great gift from the master.

After all, most of the time, they eat hard jerky with milk skin!

In addition, Ulutus also asked people to grind the barley and wheat they bought into powder to make various cooking cakes. They also made steamed buns, cream cakes, flower rolls and other pastries of different styles, and tried their best to change the taste.

Otherwise, anyone would get tired of eating the same thing every day.

So in this state of life, many people actually found that they had gained weight.

"I am alive and I have gained eight pounds!" A middle-aged herder with a braid on the back of his head stood in front of the simple weighing balance beam, looking at the scale above in surprise.

This is a balanced weighing weighing made by Ulutus and craftsmen. It uses the leverage principle. The production is not difficult and the calculation accuracy is relatively limited.

However, when it comes to weighing, it doesn’t matter if you have one or two pounds more or two less.

"Aye! I have gained three pounds too!" A young man with only a tuft of hair on his forehead and the others shaved ran to the middle-aged herder and said excitedly.

"Is that so? Su He has gained weight too!" Gegen picked up the boy, turned around excitedly for a few times, and sighed a little emotionally: "In previous years, if you don't starve to death in winter, you will be protected by immortality, and you can't get fat. Now the prince has allowed us to live such a good life, and thinking about it is like--",

"Dream is it?" A gentle voice penetrated in. Gegen turned around and looked, but his wife Wurentuya walked over with a bowl of teacup.

"Suhe, please drink it quickly. This is the milk tea that the prince likes to drink on weekdays. Today, he specially rewarded us." Suhe's eyes lit up immediately. His not-stout hands immediately took Wurentuya's wooden bowl and poured it straight into his mouth.

"Himmers--delicious!" Su He licked his lips with unsatisfactory satisfaction. The sweet and tea-scented smell made him feel a little aftertaste.

"Silly kid, there are still some at the dance party. Go back and have a drink!" Su He heard this and rushed back to the dance party immediately.

"Don't forget to report your weight to Hunur Nayan!" Seeing his son running, Gegen reminded with a smile.

The daily weight report of the tribe is a rule set by Ulutus when he transformed the tribe. At that time, it was to detect the general nutritional status of tribe residents, and now it is to track the physical health status of the tribe residents for a long time.

The trend of gaining weight indicates that the nutritional status of the residents is improving.

"Tuya, do you feel like you're dreaming, right?" After his son left, Gegen said in a somewhat unrealistic tone.

"Yes! When the emperor unified the Mongolian tribes in the past, I thought our lives would get better. But when the snow covered the grassland, we lowly people would still starve to death. Now the prince killed cattle and sheep for us and bought rice and flour, so that we no longer had to worry about being hungry.

I have never seen such a good day on the grassland." Wurentuya said, recalling the tragic scene in the past when herders counted jerky and ate one meal a day in winter. Compared with now, it is a world of difference.

"Yes! We actually saw such a good day." Gergen said, his voice hoarse. Because he remembered his parents who had been shedding sheep and horses the day before, but starved to death. He also thought of his younger brother who was beaten to death by Na Yan in order to drink an extra bowl of fresh goat milk.

Compared to such dark and hopeless days, life is like heaven.

"The prince must be the reincarnation of Changshengtian, right?" Wu Rentuya speculated: "The prince knows so much, and he has been teaching everyone to make clothes with wool recently."

"I heard that clothes made of wool will be very warm, and no one in the tribe will freeze to death in the future. Moreover, those clothes can be sold to other tribes, and then there will be money to pay us wages!"

"Wage?" Wu Rentuya asked in confusion. In her understanding, you have never only contributed everything to your master, but no concept of reward. So I don't understand the fresh word "Wage".

"A reward!" Gegen knew a lot about working in a wool textile workshop and explained: "The prince said that labor must be rewarded. If we do our labor, we should be rewarded."

"Oh! The prince must be the reincarnation of the Heaven of Changsheng." Wurentuya said confidently: "Only the Heaven of Changsheng can treat us like a kind and selfless manner."

Ulutus, who was at the dance scene, did not know that he had been reincarnated as a god. He was sitting directly above the dance, with a small wooden table in front of him, with food on it. Some people danced happily in the center of the dance, expressing the joy in his heart.

Although the dance posture does not have a sense of layout or rhythm, it cannot stand everyone's happiness. The musician also cooperates to beat the beats to set the atmosphere to the climax.
