SFS Chapter 237 Introducing Tools
Chapter 237 Introducing Tools
The stalls in the central square were filled with goods, and the group walked around looking at them, with Lin Baiyan answering their questions from time to time.
"What's this?" The old priest, Hu Kuo, pointed to a triangle on a stall.
Lin Baiyan smiled slightly, "This is the balance scale we made."
"It's used for weighing. As you can see, you put weights on one side of the balance, which are one jin, two jin, three jin, five jin, and ten jin respectively. Put the corresponding goods on the other side, and you can get the weight you want."
Lin Baiyan picked up a three-pound stone weight. "This one is probably a day's ration for an orc issued by the tribe."
Everyone looked at the weight in his hand, and it was indeed about the same size as a day's rations for an adult orc.
Fox Zhen stroked his beard gently and said with a smile, "This is really a good thing."
Everyone nodded.
Lin Baiyan smiled without saying a word.
Next, the beastmen of the Silver Fox Clan and Silver Tiger Clan saw many strange but useful tools.
Wooden sled, funnel, small stone mill, broom, stone shovel, straw hat...
Hu Luan picked up a saw. "What's this for?"
This saw was the only iron saw on the field, and unexpectedly, it was discovered by Hu Luan.
"This is used for sawing wood. The sawn wood is flat and has no burrs, making it perfect for making furniture." The moment the iron was forged, he made sure the carpenters had all the iron tools they needed.
Hu Luan clicked his tongue in amazement. "Good heavens, the Cangyan tribe really knows how to stir things up!"
Further ahead are their kitchen utensils: funnels, spatulas, chopsticks, lids, and steamers—each has its own tools for frying, stir-frying, boiling, and deep-frying.
The beastmen were dazzled by the sight.
"Are these all the things you use for cooking?" Tiger Kite looked at the table full of kitchen utensils with some surprise.
Lin Baiyan nodded with a smile, "Yes, this is part of it." Nothing like large iron pots or steamers were displayed.
Hu Yuan and her friend Hu Lan exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes. No wonder their tribe's food was so delicious; the Cangyan tribe alone had more than a dozen kinds of cooking utensils.
Is it possible that their tools are inadequate?
The two orcs looked at the cooking utensils with longing, eager to take them back to their tribe. In case they had these utensils, they could cook delicious food too.
At this time, the food that Quanling and the others had prepared was also laid out.
The wolf-tooth potatoes sizzled as they were fried on the stone slab, the roasted sweet potatoes smelled delicious as soon as they were broken open, and the pan-fried lamb chops were even more fragrant.
Not only these, but also various fruit drinks. Lin Baiyan brought out a jar of peach jam from the storage cave and soaked it with dried fresh flowers in water. It was sweet and had a floral fragrance.
The drink made by soaking wampee fruit and honey is sweet and sour, and very appetizing.
The orcs from both tribes were now completely restless, secretly watching their clan leaders and priests with anticipation in their eyes.
Hu Liu tentatively poked his captain's waist at the very end, earning a glare from Hu Yang. "What's wrong?"
Tiger Stream asked cautiously, "Boss, you guys in charge are chatting here, can you let us out to have some fun?"
He had finally managed to defeat the tigers in the tribe and become one of the fifty orcs who could follow the chief. He wanted to eat delicious food!
Hu Yang glared at Hu Liu, who practically had the words "I want to eat delicious food" printed on his face.
But it looked really delicious. Even he himself was drooling with envy. Hu Yang sniffed, and Hu Qing, who was nearby, poured a final layer of oil over the boiled fish slices. The aroma of Sichuan peppercorns and garlic was immediately released, and the smell traveled far and wide. It looked like the two beastmen from the nearby tribes were about to faint from the aroma.
Hu Yang coughed and tentatively took two steps forward. "Clan leader, there's nothing for the subordinates to do right now. Why don't we let them wander around?"
Hu Kuo chuckled, but his words hit the nail on the head: "I think you want to eat the food of the Cangyan Tribe, don't you?"
Hu Yang gave an awkward laugh.
Lin Baiyan quickly came to their rescue, saying, "The food is freshly made and still warm, so go and eat it while it's still fresh."
"Just go to the stall and get whatever you want to eat."
Hu Kuo felt a heart attack when he saw them like this, so he simply waved his hand and said, "Go away, go away, don't get in our way."
With the old priest's approval, the Silver Tiger Clan's tigers leaped three feet high, and Hu Liu was even more eager to see what kind of food smelled so good!
Upon hearing that the Silver Tiger Clan's beastmen had been released from their captivity, the Silver Fox Clan also looked longingly at their clan leader.
This was their first time visiting the Azure Flame Tribe. They had only heard from the orcs in the trading caravans that accompanied Fox Ice that the food made by the Azure Flame Tribe was delicious, but they had never tasted it before!
Hu Zhen waved his hand with a smile, "Alright, alright, you can go now."
The Silver Fox tribe beastmen were overjoyed. "Thank you, Chieftain!" they said, and then eagerly chased after the Silver Tiger tribe's tigers.
In the end, only a few clan chiefs and priests remained.
Fox Ice stealthily moved closer to Lin Baiyan, a wanton smile playing on her lips. "Little Baiyan, have you missed me these past few days?"
As he was saying this, he reached out to put his arm around Lin Baiyan's shoulder, but was blocked by a pair of large hands. Hu Bing looked over and, unsurprisingly, saw Lang Cang with a sullen face.
Fox Ice raised an eyebrow. "What, you won't even let me hug you? Who are you to him?" He had used this question to taunt Wolf Cang many times when they went to the trading tribe before.
Good heavens, upon hearing this, Lang Cang immediately perked up.
A perfect smile slowly curved his lips, as if he had been waiting for Hu Bing to say those words.
not good.
A sense of unease inexplicably rose in Hu Bing's heart.
"Of course he is my partner!" Lang Cang said each word very seriously, emphasizing the word "partner".
"I'd like to ask you, who are you, and why are you hugging my partner?" He looked at Hu Bing with a leisurely air, as if he had finally vented his anger.
Fox Ice: "..."
Fox Ice looked down at Lin Baiyan and said with great heartache, "Little Baiyan, how could you agree to this big bad wolf so easily? He's no good wolf at all!"
All eyes immediately turned to Lin Baiyan and Lang Cang.
Especially Hu Xia, she seemed to be very gossipy.
Lin Baiyan was utterly speechless. He wondered if the Silver Fox Clan knew about the stark contrast between Hu Xia's appearance and her personality.
But now, hearing Hu Bing's words in front of so many elders, Lin Baiyan could only smile awkwardly. He tugged at Hu Bing's polar bear skin and said, "We'll talk about that later."
As Lin Baiyan spoke, he glared at Lang Cang, who looked smug beside him.
Lang Cang didn't care about being glared at by his little partner; in his eyes, it was all an expression of Lin Baiyan's love!
