Su Bai and Yan Hua returned to the Main Teepee, where the fox eared girl had already prepared breakfast. There was a large iron pot of Wolf Tail Grass Noodle.

“Wow, we’re having noodles again!” Yan Hua happily rubbed her hands together.

“Shaman, we can eat now.” Yu Ying took out three wooden bowls and smiled. “I knew Ah’Hua would come, so I cooked a bit more.”

“Thank you, Xiao Yu!” Yan Hua said with a beaming smile.

Su Bai took the wooden bowl handed to him by the fox eared girl and softly said, “You two go ahead and eat first.”

If he did not start eating, the fox eared girl and Yan Hua would just keep waiting. Although this was not an official Tribe rule, the two had tacitly agreed to do so. Thus, he had to state this else they would wait for him.

“Okay.” Yan Hua also picked up her chopsticks and started quickly eating.

By now, both of them were very skilled with chopsticks. There were no noodles they could not pick up, and they finished the noodles in their bowls in no time.

Since they had eaten meat all their lives, now that they had noodles, they would not get tired of eating them three meals a day, every day.

Those of the Tribe were the same. Now, Wolf Tail Grass Noodle was considered one of their main foods.

Besides the daily meat distributed, Totem Warriors and Warrior Trainees were given two extra bowls of Wolf Tail Grass Noodle. The ordinary members were given one bowl of Wolf Tail Grass Noodle a day, and their meat supply was more stable compared to before, with a small amount distributed daily.

After all, most of the meat in the Tribe now was supplied to Totem Warriors and Warrior Trainees. For ordinary people, being able to eat meat every day was already a fortunate thing.

Most knew that before Su Bai took over the Tribe, they only got some meat every one or two days. This meat had to last until the next distribution. If lucky, they might get more in two days; if unlucky, they would only be able to receive another potion of meat three or four days later.

The situation was far from as fortunate as right now, where they could get some meat every day. Although the amount was not much, by Earth standards, it ensured they would not go hungry.

The Wolf Tail Grass Noodle further greatly reduced this concern. Having something to eat was good enough. All of them really did not care if it was meat or not. Moreover, they liked Wolf Tail Grass Noodle even more than meat.

“Shaman, what did you say you wanted to give me?” Yan Hua contentedly put down her bowl and chopsticks.

Su Bai also put down his bowl and chopsticks and softly said, “Xiao Yu, go get the linen clothing you sewed for Ah’Hua.”

“Okay.” Yu Ying immediately stood up and walked towards her hay pile.

“Lin! En! Cloth! Ing!” Yan Hua enunciated each syllable, clearly very surprised, her red eyes wide open.

Su Bai took the linen clothing and handed it to the cow horned girl, saying, “This is for you. Try it.”

“I sewed it according to your size, it should fit.” Yu Ying softly said. She was a bit envious of the cow horned girl, whose clothes did not need to be sewn so large. Unlike herself, who had to sew larger to avoid feeling too tight and uncomfortable in certain regions.

However, if the fox eared girl’s current thoughts were known to the cow horned girl, she would probably roll her eyes at her again.

“Shaman, I can’t accept this!” Yan Hua shook her head repeatedly. She knew the importance of linen. A roll of linen could be traded for quite a lot of meat. This piece of linen clothing looked like it used up a lot of linen. For such a valuable thing, the cow horned girl really dared not accept.

“Then you can trade it away if you don’t want it. In fact, if you don’t accept it, I’ll have to give it to someone else.” Su Bai pretended to say.

“No, I want it!” Yan Hua excitedly hugged the linen clothing and ran out of the Teepee to change in her own Teepee.

[Indeed, no girl can resist the temptation of new clothes…] Su Bai smiled and thought to himself.

A few minutes later, Yan Hua had changed into her new linen clothing and returned to the Main Teepee with her hair flowing. Her linen clothing perfectly fit her. It was not as loose as the fox eared girl’s because she still had to train every day. Being too loose would only be a hindrance to her.

The T-shirt style linen top was easy to sew, and when worn, it provided very good coverage. So, there was no need to worry about exposure.

“Shaman, this linen clothing feels so comfortable.” Yan Hua tugged at the hem of her linen clothing.

“That’s good/” Su Bai felt much more at ease seeing this, unlike the previous Animal Hide clothing that had too much exposure.

“I can wear this every day.” Yan Hua patted her linen clothing.

Su Bai smiled and picked up a cup of water, saying, “That won’t do. Clothes need to be washed each day. Otherwise, they’ll smell.”

Yan Hua remembered the smell from not bathing last time, and how uncomfortable her whole body felt. She pouted and said, “Oh right, we need to wash this daily.”

“Don’t worry about wearing it. Xiao Yu is making a second one for you. Once you receive your second set, you can alternate between them. This is so that you can wear linen clothing every day.” Su Bai said with a smile.

Yan Hua immediately shook her head, repeatedly refusing, “Shaman, we can’t. Linen should be used to trade for food, don’t waste it on me.”

The cow horned girl had personally seen how much dried meat a roll of linen could be traded for at the Spotted Deer Market. Knowing their worth, suddenly being given two pieces of linen clothing was something she dared not accept.

“It’s fine, we still have linen in the Tribe, and there will be more in the future. Besides, we don’t only have linen to trade for dried meat.” Su Bai said, taking a sip of water.

Yan Hua curiously blinked her red eyes as she asked, “Shaman, the Tribe have something else we can trade for food?”

“Why don’t you think about it some more?’ Su Bai said.

Yan Hua turned her red eyes and said, “Is it the Wolf Tail Grass Noodle we just ate?”

“No, we’re not trading that for now. Think again.” Su Bai shook his head.

Yan Hua pondered for a while with her index finger on her chin, then she suddenly said, “Is it the ceramics?”

“Correct, ceramics can also be traded for some food. As for how much they can be traded for, we’ll see when the time comes.” Su Bai smiled.

He did not know how well the Primitive Tribes would accept ceramics. Nevertheless, he had already thought it through. At the next Spotted Deer Market, he would have someone take a few ceramics to trade. It was only after this that they would know how well people of this era accepted and liked ceramics.

“Those ceramics are so beautiful, they must be able to trade for quite a lot of dried meat.” Yan Hua said with certainty.

“Oh? How much do you think they can trade for?” Su Bai asked with interest.

Right in front of him were two people from a Primitive Tribe. They should be able to give some reference opinions.

Yan Hua thought seriously for a moment, then looked up and said, “I think one ceramic piece can be traded for a bag of dried meat.”

“Hmm…” Su Bai nodded thoughtfully. This answer was a bit surprising to him. So, he continued to ask, “Xiao Yu, what do you think?”

Yu Ying was stunned for a moment, then weakly nodded and softly said, “I think Ah’Hua makes sense. Ceramics are really beautiful. They should be able to trade for a bag of dried meat.”

“One piece can be traded for a bag of dried meat? That’s not a bad trade.” Su Bai said with the corners of his lips turning up.
