Surprise! The Queen Mother became famous all over the world by pioneering new things

Chapter 204 Assignment
"Well, I will escort you from behind."

Shi Miao smiled lightly with her thin lips.

Afterwards, she continued to speak: "It's getting late now, you dug back a total of nine carts of silver mines today, excluding the nine baskets of ore that Tianjiao carried away, a total of 45 baskets, which means that you can get a total of nine fish. Except for Lu Yang, everyone else lived together, ate and drank together, so they didn’t need to know exactly how much they dug. So, how many baskets did Lu Yang dig? I’ll figure out how to settle it for you.”

"I dug a total of six baskets... I got rid of one basket as a reward, and there are five baskets left. Just give me one fish."

Lu Yang scratched his head in embarrassment.

Compared with star fruit and yang cherry, he dug a lot.

But compared with the other big men, because he didn't eat as well as them, there was a gap in his strength.

It would be nice if...we could all live together.

He can share nine fish, but he can only get one. Thinking about it makes people feel sad.

"Well, in that case, I'll catch one for you later. What about you, do you want to take all of your eight fish away at once, or keep them in this lotus pond for now?"

Shi Miao looked at Zhang Wen and the others and continued.

"Let's catch one first. Forty to fifty catties of fish are enough for us to eat for two or three days. The fish can still live in the lotus pond. It's better to eat fresh ones if they are all dead."

With almost no hesitation, Zhang Wen opened his mouth and got the answer.

Eight fish, more than 300 catties, enough to feed the six of them for a month, this is the best news for them.

Digging mines for a day can provide food for a period of time, which is not too cost-effective.

"Well, yes."

Shi Miao nodded, looked at the carload of wolf carcasses, and then continued: "After we get rid of these wolf skins, you can exchange them with me. The meat can also be used to store food for the winter, and you can also You can change the taste with wolf meat."

"But... with all the fuss today and the blood around, I'm afraid it's not safe there?"

Thinking that today has such a big harvest after a busy day, everyone is happy, but the howling of wild wolves and the shocking red all over the place really make people feel a little lingering.

"Well……"

Shi Miao frowned, it would be a bit dangerous if she didn't clean it up, she couldn't just stand guard there like a security guard.

"Silver mines are relatively the most valuable. If you want to exchange them, you can dig iron mines. The iron mines are in the south, where they are relatively remote and there are fewer wild animals. But the value of iron mines is not as good as silver mines, so you If you go to dig iron ore, you have to exchange ten baskets of iron ore for forty or fifty catties of meat."

"That's fine too! Although the rations that everyone can store up are less compared to silver mines, it's still better than going out and finding prey and going hungry."

Zhang Wen thought for a while and nodded.

Compared with silver mines, iron mines are far inferior. Shi Miao just doubled the required quantity, and they still made money.

"Well, you guys go to dig the iron mines first tomorrow. When I go hunting outside, I will take a stroll to see if there is something of higher value for you to dig."

Seeing this, Shi Miao nodded, then walked to the lotus pond, took out a box of bait, and threw it all into the water she knocked open.

The bait slowly spread out, and a big fish swam over in an instant.

Shi Miao took the opportunity to get out a yellow croaker and a herring. The two fish looked about the same size and weight, so they left it to Lu Yang and Zhang Wen to choose.

"It's getting late, everyone, go back early to wash and eat, and rest early, so that you will have the strength to work tomorrow."

With that said, Shi Miao turned her head and entered the house first.

Strolling around outside, her mood became more and more comfortable. She had a great appetite at the moment after she worked hard, and she couldn't help but want to see what delicious food Liu Ailing made.

As for the matter of dealing with those wolf skins, Shi Miao took it for granted and handed it over to a few big men.

……

The next day.

All the people who ate and drank for the first time last night were extremely excited this morning, and they couldn't wait to go mining.

It's just... Seeing several people shivering and sneezing at the door one by one early in the morning, Shi Miao couldn't help sighing,

"You go to Aunt Liu to measure the size first, then go back and rest for a while, and wait until the temperature is a little higher before going out. Last night we took the time to get off those wolf skins, washed them, cleaned them and baked them all night. Today I will prepare Ask Aunt Liu to help you make wolf fur jackets to protect you from the cold. The weather is too cold, and if you suffer from the cold every day, you will fall ill within a few days. Therefore, from the iron mine you dug today, I will forcibly deduct three baskets from each person. Ore, as a reward for the wolf fur and the production process, you...don't have any objections?"

These individuals are all wearing thin clothes, and Shi Miao doesn't want to freeze to death because she finds someone to help her earn points.

Then she must not be scolded to death by the residents of Shuilanxing and even the higher-ups.

After all, if he wants to enjoy his old age here, he still has to give himself a way out.

"I have no objection. You are very thoughtful. In the weather of minus 20 degrees, my knees hurt from the cold. I am afraid that going out for several days in a row will really be unbearable. I can even wear pants and shoes. Is it a one-time reservation? The reward will be directly deducted from the mine I dug."

Zhang Wen very much agrees with Shi Miao's proposal.

With yesterday's day's hard work, eight fish would be enough for them to eat for several days, and it was a good deal to spend a day digging out a winter outfit for themselves.

"Yes, pants and shoes use less leather than jackets, so if you big men want to make a whole body, each of you will have six baskets of iron baskets as a reward. Carambola and Yang Ying have smaller bones than you. If you want to make a whole body, use The skins I received were less than yours, so I deducted five baskets of iron ore. You can figure out how many pieces you want, and then let Aunt Liu measure the size for you.”

As for how much iron ore to collect, Shi Miao had already made plans in her heart.

She can earn almost points for a basket of silver ore, and only points for a basket of iron ore, so she is indeed at a loss.

"No problem! Let's go now, I want my whole body!"

Wang Sixie on the side was the first to nod and walked into Shi Miao's yard, and walked straight to the upper room.

Food is attractive, but life is more important.

In the case of guaranteed food, freezing to death would really be a bit of a loss.

"Sister Shi Miao, can I go hunting with you today?"

Several people around were excited to find Liu Ailing to measure.

At this moment, only Miya was left by her side, she couldn't help but blinked her eyes and opened her mouth.
