I Became The Chief of A Primitive Village

After explaining some precautions, Su Bai returned to the wooden house, leaving the umbrella as a reference for Gu Mu.

“Shaman, that umbrella is amazing. Will it really keep the rain off us during the rainy season?” Yu Ying blinked her pink eyes innocently.

“Do the Warriors’ Animal Hide Bag leak when they carry water?” Su Bai smiled, asking this because those water bags were made from Smooth Skin Lizard Hide.

“I haven’t heard about that happening.” Yu Ying replied seriously, not realising the Shaman was answering her question.

“Haha… if the water bags don’t leak, then neither will this umbrella.” Su Bai laughed heartily.

“I understand now. The umbrella uses the same hide as the Animal Hide Bags!” Yu Ying exclaimed in realisation.

“Silly girl.” Su Bai patted the fox eared girl’s head.

Yu Ying lowered her head contentedly, saying, “That umbrella is much better than leaves though.”

“With it, you’ll be able to go out during the rainy season,” Su Bai calmly said.

“That won’t do. The cement houses aren’t built yet and the roads aren’t paved yet. The rainy season can’t come too soon.” Su Bai teased.

“You’re right, I hope the rainy season doesn’t come too quickly then.” Yu Ying quickly changed her tune.

Su Bai smiled and shook his head, returning to planning the Tribe’s development. The planted food was settled, the animal enclosures were done, and cement houses and roads were under construction.

“Eleven days until the rainy season. The Hunting Team can only make at most two more trips to the Hunting Ground if they rush.” Su Bai muttered.

“Xiao Yu, how much food does the Tribe have left?” Su Bai asked, needing to know their food storage situation.

Yu Ying thought carefully before answering, “At our current consumption rate, about ten days’ worth.”

This was based on their current usage, with meat consumption being high due them needing to pay for the physical labor of the construction. Su Bai had decreed extra meat portions for all workers, accelerating the consumption.

“Ten days means we’ll last until the rainy season.” Su Bai mused.

“Shaman, should we reduce their portions?” Yu Ying worried.

“No need. Let them continue eating this way. We’ll find another solution.” Su Bai replied.

“Is Wolf Tail Grass still being collected?” Su Bai asked suddenly.

“Yes, we send people daily. Though each day’s harvest isn’t much, we’ve accumulated a lot.” Yu Ying nodded.

Su Bai explained that Wolf Tail Grass Noodle could sustain them during the rainy season when less physical labor was needed. Combined with the daily catch of fish using Beast Bone hooks, they had adequate food sources.

“With two more trips to the Hunting Ground, each bringing ten days’ worth of food, plus fish and Wolf Tail Grass Noodle, we won’t go hungry during the rainy season.” Yu Ying happily calculated.

“Indeed, good news.” Su Bai’s frown relaxed.

“After the rainy season, we can prepare for the snow season. I’m not afraid of the rainy season anymore!” Yu Ying said, relieved about both food security and having umbrellas.

“Yes.” Su Bai smiled, ready to focus on development now that the food issue was resolved.
