"That's …"
Looking at the field that was surrounded by tall wooden stakes, the chiefs and leaders looked at each other, then became excited again.
It was rare to find food that all seven green-faced fanged beasts liked. Before this, they had already prepared for the complicated rearing work. Now that they suddenly saw such a scene, how could they not be happy?
If the seven green-faced fanged beasts were all interested in the cabbage planted in the field, then it would indeed be a happy thing. After all, they had transplanted a lot of cabbages, big and small. Because the meaning of this cabbage was different from other crops, the people in the tribe planned to label it as "Yanjiao". They took care of it carefully and even sent people to guard it.
When they first transplanted the cabbages, many of the leaves were incomplete and the growth of the cabbages was slow. After entering the rapid growth period here, they completely changed. When they were transplanted, the cabbages that were less than the height of a knee were now half the height of a person. Moreover, as long as they had enough water and nutrients, they would continue to grow quickly.
The two shamans had planned to wait until the end of winter and during the sacrifice ceremony to give some of the cabbages to the people in the tribe as a souvenir. But if the cabbages in the field were interested in the green-faced fanged beasts, then the original plan would have to be changed.
No matter what, they had to see if the seven beasts were interested in the cabbages in the field.
Shao Xuan gestured to the warriors guarding the cabbage field to pick a few cabbage leaves. He especially emphasized, "Pick the old leaves on the outside first. Don't break the leaves on the ball of cabbage."
In addition to the ball of cabbage in the middle, there were also some leaves that extended outwards. Shao Xuan was referring to these leaves that did not form a ball.
With the green cabbage leaves in hand, the seven green-faced fanged beasts stared at the leaves in Shao Xuan's hand. However, they still glanced at the cabbage field from time to time.
The seven green-faced fanged beasts did open their mouths when they saw the cabbage that Shao Xuan handed over. They even seemed to like it. Although it might not be their favorite, they were picky eaters. Being able to accept the same kind of plant made the Yanjiao people very happy.
After they finished eating the first few pieces of old vegetable leaves, Shao Xuan handed them a piece of vegetable leaf that was broken off from the vegetable ball. Compared to the previous pieces, this one was much more tender. Obviously, the seven green-faced fanged beasts preferred the latter. Not to mention the seven green-faced fanged beasts, even the tribesmen preferred the leaves on the vegetable balls.
Should he give the cabbage to the seven beasts while he gnawed on the old leaves outside? Just thinking about it made him feel unbalanced.
"Let's feed those old leaves first. We'll talk about it later," Shao Xuan said.
The other chiefs and leaders had the same thought. Based on their current knowledge and outlook on life, this was the first time they encountered a situation where they ate worse than the ferocious beasts. Even those old vegetables could not be eaten by many people in the tribe.
Moreover, the old leaves couldn't be picked recklessly. If the cabbage wanted to grow, it still needed these broad and green leaves to grow.
Fortunately, today's goal was achieved. After walking around the field and counting, the only thing that the seven green-faced fanged beasts liked was cabbage. As for the other crops, there were always a few among the seven beasts that had different preferences. But it didn't matter. If the cabbage wasn't enough, they could use other crops to make up the numbers. Anyway, Shao Xuan had already recorded the preferences of the seven beasts. These seven beasts were also numbered with paint so that the people who fed them in the future would be able to match them.
After solving the food problem of the green-faced fanged beasts, the worries in everyone's hearts were finally relieved. Because the green-faced fanged beasts had a bad temper, the tribe decided to raise them in another place. There were many mountains near the tribe, and there were large and small caves in the mountains. One of the caves in the mountains had been excavated by the tribesmen and was divided into several small rooms. One end of the room was blocked by a stone pillar, and the other end was opened up.
When the green-faced fanged beasts were not hibernating, they liked to move around alone. Therefore, seven small rooms were excavated so that they could have their own territory and avoid fighting. Right now, they were still hibernating. If they continued to sleep, they would like to huddle together, so the other end of the seven small rooms would lead to the same empty room.
They didn't know what the inside of the green-faced fanged beasts' cave looked like. After the excavation, they put some hay in the same way as in the animal pens. Of course, compared to the hay in the tribe's animal pens, the grass in the green-faced fanged beasts' cave was much better. They were all carefully selected.
According to the tribesmen's thinking, they could eat worse food, but the weapons they used had to be better. Therefore, the grass in the animal pens of the food beasts was of lower quality. As for the seven green-faced fanged beasts, they had to live in better conditions. If they fell sick, the blood they provided could affect the forging of the weapons.
The seven green-faced fanged beasts were placed in a new place. They were still not used to it, but right now, what they cared about the most wasn't the cave, but their stomachs!
Therefore, when the vegetables and grains were placed in their respective troughs, they didn't care about anything else. They just ate first!
Shao Xuan saw the way the green-faced fanged beasts ate for the first time. It wasn't that their table manners were bad, they just ate a little faster. What surprised Shao Xuan was that their stomachs were inflated. The amount of food he fed them wasn't much. If it were other beasts or humans, this wouldn't happen. However, the green-faced fanged beasts were different. The amount of food they ate was much more exaggerated than the amount they ate.
This reminded Shao Xuan of the situation when he first met Broken Fanged. It was blocked at the entrance of the cave because of its round stomach. Shao Xuan thought it ate too much, but now it seemed that even if they ate a lot, it wasn't as big as he thought.
Fortunately, although the seven of them had become bigger after eating, they hadn't reached the point where they were completely round. Without food, the seven beasts threw a tantrum for a while. They even knocked over the stone troughs and poked a few holes in them.
After venting, the seven beasts ran to the innermost room covered with hay and huddled together to sleep.
Shao Xuan went in to take a look. After about half a day, their swollen stomachs shrank. It was similar to what he saw in the forest.
After sleeping for a day, the seven beasts got up to eat again. This time, Shao Xuan put in almost a third more food than last time. After they ate, they slept for a longer time. After all, it was still their hibernation time.
Because he was worried that it would be difficult to raise the seven beasts in the beginning, Shao Xuan didn't take any more blood before they woke up. If he wanted to implement a sustainable development plan, he had to be patient. Sharpening the knife won't delay the work of cutting wood. He had to raise the seven beasts first.
