Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 86 Custom-made storage racks

Jiang Luoluo woke up early and began her new and busy day.

First, I get up, make the bed, and change into new clothes. Then I wash my face, brush my teeth, do laundry, and make breakfast.

While the food is heating up and waiting for it to cook, wash some fruit to make jam later.

Although the witch's intention was for Jiang Luoluo to mainly make fruit wine, it didn't mean she wouldn't have to make jam.

After all, not all fruits are suitable for making fruit wine, and not all fruits can be successfully made into fruit wine. Most fruits are more suitable for making jam.

For fruits suitable for making fruit wine, the first requirement is that they must have a rich juice content. Fruits similar to jujubes are not very suitable for making wine, but they can be used to make infused liquor.

However, this fruit is quite good for making jam, because its flesh has a rich texture, and the jam made from it is thick and sweet. For some tribesmen who prefer a thicker texture, this jam is even more delicious.

Jiang Luoluo is quite eclectic; she likes all kinds of jam.

After finishing breakfast and cooking a pot of jam, Jiang Luoluo ladled out all the freshly made jam and then filled the stone pot with water to keep it warm.

She and He were going to the carpenter's place, so she couldn't put fruit in the pot to make jam, otherwise it would all be burnt when they came back.

Jiang Luoluo mainly wanted to find some larger wooden barrels to customize for brewing fruit wine, as the wooden jars were still a bit too small.

They had just started talking about exchanging items when Cong unexpectedly produced a number of ready-made wooden containers. Although they weren't the wooden wine barrels Jiang Luoluo wanted, they were much larger than the wooden jars in Jiang Luoluo's hands.

Meeting Jiang Luoluo's strange gaze, Cong smiled and explained that this was what Wu had instructed him to do yesterday.

As for the reward, Wu has already paid it, so Jiang Luo only needs to take these things and doesn't need to exchange anything else.

Cong also said that if these things were not enough, she could come to him anytime to get more, and Wu would pay all her fees.

To be precise, the shaman uses everything in the tribe without having to exchange it with the tribe members, and no tribe member would ask the shaman to pay any price.

Rather, being able to give things to the shaman is an honor for all the people in the tribe.

However, Wu herself was unwilling to take her people's things for free and insisted on exchanging them for something of equal value, so Cong wouldn't lose out by handing the things over to Jiang Luoluo.

Jiang Luoluo gestured to Cong about the wooden wine barrels she needed, and also ordered a few wooden shelves from Cong.

There are too many things in the cave, and it's not feasible to leave them lying on the ground all the time. Even if we pile things up, we won't save much space. It would be better to put two wooden shelves in.

In the last few days, Chi has brought so many fruits that there is almost no room left in the cave to store them, so Jiang Luoluo thought of a better way to reorganize them.

For the past few days, she's had barely found a place to stay in the cave.

This was no problem for Cong; he quickly discussed with Jiang Luoluo the shape and size of the wooden frame needed for the cave.

"I'll send it to you once it's ready in a couple of days," Cong said.

Wooden containers for holding things like jam or fruit wine take a long time to make because they need an additional waterproof layer. But wooden shelves don't need to be so complicated; you just need to sand them into shape and then assemble them.

At most, you just need to smooth out the splinters to prevent them from hurting the child. It will be a little troublesome, but it won't take long.

Given Cong's production speed, which is only two or three days, it doesn't even affect Cong's ability to make other wooden products at the same time.

After discussing the wooden wine barrels and wooden shelves with Cong, almost two hours had passed. The main reason was that Jiang Luoluo couldn't speak, and her requests were somewhat complicated, making communication even more time-consuming.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly. Jiang Luoluo and He Mai started walking back. As they walked, Jiang Luoluo suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky in surprise.

Just now, the rain that had been falling for many days suddenly stopped.

When Jiang Luoluo went out in the morning, the sky was still dark and cloudy, but in an instant it became clear and sunny, and all the dark clouds disappeared in the blink of an eye. The change was so fast that it caught Jiang Luoluo off guard.

She stood there hesitantly, looking at the sky several times before she finally realized that the sky had indeed cleared up, and that she wasn't hallucinating.

"The rainy season is finally coming." Brown looked at the clear sky, his voice carrying a complex sense of seriousness.

After a while, He looked down at Jiang Luoluo and said, "Let's go back."

Jiang Luoluo looked at He with a puzzled expression.

Brown gently shook his head. "The next few days will be the last sunny days before the rainy season arrives. If Luo has anything she wants to dry, she can take it out. Once the rainy season starts, we really won't see the sun anymore."

Just as there is always a period of calm before a storm, there are also a few exceptionally sunny days before the rainy season truly arrives.

On the contrary, the intermittent drizzle of the past few days seems somewhat unreasonable.

However, what Hei was thinking about was the hunting team, and Ge in the hunting team. The hunting team would probably be back in the next few days, and then he would have to leave the cave where he had lived for so long and return to his previous life of living alone.

For a moment, Brown felt a pang of reluctance.

But He also knew that he didn't have the same confidence as Ge in being able to support anyone other than himself.

It's time to go back to my old life.

Jiang Luoluo was a little incredulous at the sunny weather. Back in the cave, she repeatedly confirmed with Hehe several times before finally believing that the next few days would be sunny and there would be no more rain.

What amazing weather! Jiang Luoluo thought to herself as she took out all the things that needed to be dried from the cave, including the two clumps of hooked vines from Mao's house, and laid them out to dry on the ground outside.

Surprisingly, despite the recent rains and the cave's simple wooden door providing shelter, it remained surprisingly dry.

Normally, mushrooms should have started growing in the cave by now, but it remained dry and unaffected. After much thought, Jiang Luoluo could only attribute it to the protection of her ancestors.

Jiang Luoluo couldn't help but glance at the fire. It really was a good thing, protected by the ancestors, capable of killing insects and removing dampness.

The weather cleared up, and He was going to Little Stone Mountain to teach the children. However, Mao went with Chi to the Taz Forest to pick fruit, so no one could stay at home with Jiang Luoluo.

But Jiang Luoluo still had many things to do, and she couldn't afford to waste time with He on the small rocky hill.

He couldn't abandon the children on the mountain and only take care of Jiang Luoluo herself.

As for calling Mao back from Chi... after just one thought, Jiang Luoluo immediately ruled out that option. Being able to study with Chi would be a very precious opportunity for Mao, a crucial opportunity that could change his destiny.

Especially since Jiang Luoluo knew that Mao would definitely not refuse her if she made the request, she was even less willing to influence Mao.

She didn't want Mao to miss the important opportunity to study with Aka because of her small act of kindness.

How could Jiang Luoluo possibly sacrifice Mao's life-changing choices and opportunities just for her own small needs?

Moreover, she wasn't necessarily without a solution; Jiang Luoluo thought of her two friends—

The little girl is fine, but Zhuang... He hesitated a bit. Xi is smart enough, so he felt at ease entrusting Jiang Luoluo to her for help.

He just couldn't think of what Zhuang could do for Jiang Luoluo; causing trouble would be more like it.

But since it was a cub's request, after hesitating for a moment, He took Jiang Luoluo to find the little girl happy and the little boy Zhuang, and told them what Jiang Luoluo wanted their help with.

The little girl nodded without hesitation, "I'm willing to help Luo!"

The little boy scratched his head, not quite understanding what he was supposed to do, but seeing the little girl's unwavering attitude, he immediately said, "I'm willing too!"

No matter what, if something seems good to you, it must be a good thing, the little boy thought.

Since both children had agreed, He then had the three children go home with Jiang Luoluo.

Jiang Luoluo began assigning tasks. The little girl was meticulous and attentive, making her suitable for making jam. There was no need to worry about the jam burning, as it would be cooked until soft and tender enough.

The young boy was strong and energetic, so he was responsible for cleaning the various fruits in the cave. He didn't need to be too careful, but there were many of them, and he had to run back and forth to carry them, which was quite tiring.

Jiang Luoluo herself, on the other hand, made wine in multiple control groups according to different fruits, conditions, and methods, and finally saw which one had a better effect.

Given that the production of animal hide paper in the tribe was complicated, troublesome, and rare, Jiang Luoluo directly carved words on different containers with a stone knife.

She used the language from her previous life.
