Yu Ying skilfully operated the iron wok and added firewood. A new day’s breakfast would soon be ready.
Previously, making one breakfast might have taken Yu Ying a very long ti. However, now approximately half an hour was enough.
She no longer needed to rise so early. Sleeping in a bit longer and then making breakfast still worked.
"Shaman, today’s breakfast is wild chicken egg noodles, your favourite." Yu Ying said happily.
Yu Ying had already figured out what foods Su Bai wanted to eat from which he ate less of. She matched his favourites daily.
"Ha ha ha… You seem to understand very well." Su Bai deliberately teased.
"No, it’s… it’s … I watch the Shaman’s expressions when eating every day, then… then I guess."
Yu Ying awkwardly lowered her head. A blush also crept across her face. She looked quite bashful.
"Ha ha ha ha ha… Eat quickly, or the noodles will get soggy and won’t taste as nice." Su Bai pulled her hand.
He actually did love eating wild chicken egg noodles the most. He just had not eaten noodle dishes in a long ti, and these were made from wheat flour.
Although there was also porridge and rice boiled from wheat, eating it ultimately was not as delicious as rice.
Sotis he could not help thinking, [If only the System could produce rice, then I could finally satisfy my cravings.]
"Yes." Yu Ying nodded happily.
Half an hour later, the two finished breakfast. Yu Ying had people clear everything away for washing.
She now did many things herself. Although those maids were present, she would never assign everything to them.
It was for no other reason than Yu Ying felt like these were things were stuff she liked doing, things she could do for the Shaman.
If she let maids do everything, wouldn’t her position as a Shaman Priestess be aningless? Moreover, she would feel like she was being replaced. This
Yu Ying could never allow this to happen. That was why she personally handled so matters every day.
Of course, only Su Bai, Yan Hua and a few others could eat her cooking. Other people’s food was all made by the maids. For example, the Chieftain who ca to discuss matters and ate lunch or dinner, or Cang Shi, Sha Hong and such.
"Xiao Yu, what do you think about the Tribe that you feel isn’t quite good?" Su Bai asked.
That was right. He wanted to continue perfecting the Tribe before the rain season arrived, advancing the Tribe further towards urbanisation.
"Ah? Why is the Shaman suddenly asking this?" Yu Ying was stunned. The linen clothing she was sewing also stopped.
"I just wanted to ask. Don’t you want the Tribe to beco even better?" Su Bai asked with a smile.
"No, no, let think, Shaman." Yu Ying’s small mouth pouted. Her pink eyes kept rotating.
Yu Ying’s appearance at this mont was extrely serious, even more serious than when making breakfast and lunch.
Su Bai had never seen Yu Ying look like this. He quietly watched her think from the side.
Watching and watching, the corners of his mouth could not help curving slightly upward. She really was extrely cute. He asked, "If you can’t think of anything, it’s fine. Go ahead and get busy."
Su Bai could not bear to have her keep frowning and pondering. He felt like many brain cells would die.
"Shaman, I just thought of sothing. I don’t know if it’s useful." Yu Ying suddenly said.
"Oh? Tell ." Su Bai asked with interest.
"It’s just, if that water could flow directly to our individual rooms, that would be good. Then, we would not need to get it from the Tribe’s water tanks, then from the water tanks to our individual rooms."
Yu Ying was especially serious when saying this. Her small mouth also pouted. She looked extrely adorable.
"I’m already handling this point. Still, I’m glad you realised this point." Su Bai placed his hands folded under his chin, continuing to ask, "Is there anything else?"
What Yu Ying thought of was exactly the water pipe plan he had previously considered. However, implenting it now was sowhat difficult.
He could only slowly plan ahead. After conditions in all aspects were enough, he would have people implent this plan.
"So the Shaman already thought of it." Yu Ying’s pink fox ears twitched thoughtfully. She continued, "There’s another point… I think we should establish a standard."
"Establish a standard? What standard? Regarding what?" Su Bai asked.
"Shaman, although the Tribe now advocates that working brings food, there are still people who slack off, then muddle through the day to collect food. This is completely unfair to those who labour diligently."
Yu Ying’s pink eyes were especially serious. She continued, "I think we should establish a labour standard. If they cannot reach that standard, they cannot receive food. This way they cannot slack off."
Yu Ying had only recently learned this. It all ca from hearing those maids gossiping.
She had originally thought the Tribe looked perfect. Operations in all aspects were also very reasonable.
Until hearing the maids’ words, she realised it was not like this. There were still those slacking off.
Those people still picked loopholes in the rules to exploit. Probably they were given too much food to eat, which gradually produced lazy people.
"According to what you’re saying, we indeed should set a standard. The Fla Dragon Tribe does not support idle people."
Su Bai also beca serious, continuing, "Slacking is normal. However, wanting to muddle through the day is impossible."
He naturally knew this phenonon existed universally. Though he had hoped it would not show itself so soon.
Originally, he expected this phenonon would appear after the Fla Dragon Tribe developed for several years, when the Tribe’s food supply was of extre abundance. When the Tribe’s personnel beca truly nurous, only then might slacking, exploiting loopholes, or opportunistic behaviour would beco more apparent.
"Shaman, should we punish them a bit? Let them know the Fla Dragon Tribe’s rules cannot be broken." Yu Ying strongly suggested punishnt.
Just thinking about it made her teeth itch. Those people clearly ate food given by the Tribe, lived in such good housing given by the Tribe. Yet in their hearts, did contribution to the Tribe an nothing to them? Instead, they thought about how to muddle through today. This was truly damnable.
Yu Ying knew people would not think about this before. Clearly before, they were still barely surviving outside the Ancestral Land. The food they ate every day was so little. Having anything to eat each day was already good, let alone three als daily.
Now, not only were they not grateful, they actually looked for loopholes in the Tribe’s rules to exploit. Yu Ying felt very angry, feeling the Shaman’s efforts were wasted.
"Punishnt is indeed necessary. But, let think about it." Su Bai narrowed his black eyes slightly.
