After all, not every beastman was as smart and capable as him.
Most beastmen did not have strong bodies. Every time they hunted with other beastmen, the hides they obtained were basically yours this year and mine the next. Basically, after a month, they could only get a few hides. Moreover, they had to sew clothes for their families and themselves. They did not have any extra hides, not to mention tying them on porcelain to keep out the moisture.
Although Jiujiu's porcelain was good, it was too small after all. It could not hold much jerky, so more porcelain was needed. At the same time, if more porcelain was used, more hides would be needed. Because most beastmen did not have enough hides, they would probably silently give up the idea of using porcelain to store jerky.
Jiujiu also gave an explanation to Sha Qing's doubts.
"I know, so I'm going to ask them to make the jars to store jerky bigger. It would be best if one jar could hold a lot of jerky."
Jiujiu raised her hand and gestured to the size of the jar she imagined. Then she looked at Sha Qing and said, "What do you think?"
Thinking about the size of the jar Jiujiu just gestured, if Jiujiu could really make such a big jar, one jar would definitely be able to store enough jerky for an average family. Because only one jar was needed, the amount of hides needed would naturally be reduced. The feasibility was very high, but …
Sha Qing asked again, "You used so much firewood to make those small jars last time. How much firewood do you need to make such a big jar?"
Jiujiu was most hesitant about this from the beginning. Seeing Sha Qing bring it up, she said in a low voice, "I'm also worried about this. Our tribe has more than two hundred beastmen now. There are about sixty households in total. If we use one jar per household, we need sixty jars. Some beastmen have more cubs at home, so they need more than two jars at a time. At least a hundred jars are needed. If we use my method, we can only make one jar at a time. Not only is it time-consuming, but I might not be able to make so many jars even if I burn them until the rainy season."
"Mm, do you have a way?" Sha Qing looked down at Jiujiu and said softly, "Do you have a solution?"
Jiujiu was especially touched by Sha Qing's trust. She pursed her lips and nodded her little head, saying in a low voice, "Actually, I know a way to make many jars at a time, but I need the help of male beastmen. I'm worried that they won't help me. I'm only a fox beastman after all."
Fox beastmen were notorious among the beastmen. Even though Jiujiu was a priestess and solved their food problem, their reputation among the beastmen wasn't very good. Moreover, the amount of work needed to make a kiln for pottery was huge. It wasn't something that could be done in a day. Jiujiu was worried that they wouldn't be willing to do it if it took too long.
Because they knew that jerky could be preserved for a long time, many beastmen were in a hurry to hunt so that they could preserve more jerky before the rainy season came. There weren't many beastmen who sincerely wanted to help Jiujiu.
However, Sha Qing was different. Sha Qing's reputation among the beastmen was particularly high. Sha Qing would often give her extra prey to the beastmen who were in trouble. If Sha Qing was the one who raised this issue, the beastmen would be more likely to listen.
Sha Qing's breathing paused when she heard Jiujiu say that she was only a fox beastman. She couldn't help but reveal a worried expression. She looked down at Jiujiu and sighed softly, "I'll help you talk to them tomorrow."
Jiujiu had been waiting for Sha Qing to say this. When Sha Qing took the initiative to say it, she immediately hugged Sha Qing's arm and said coquettishly, "Sha Qing, you're so nice. I like you the most."
Although Jiujiu was still a cub, she was still a fox beastman after all. Her pair of sparkling fox eyes were so beautiful that no one dared to look straight at them. Even Sha Qing, who had great willpower, couldn't help but be a little overwhelmed. Her breathing couldn't help but quicken.
Sha Qing's expression instantly became serious as her breathing quickened and her body changed. She tilted her head and looked at Jiujiu's beautiful and innocent little face. She said in a strict tone, "You're not allowed to act like this in front of others in the future."
It was too easy to seduce others. Even he couldn't help but dig out his heart when he saw Jiujiu like this to satisfy her every wish.
His willpower was one of the best among the beastmen. If even he was like this, there was no need to talk about the other beastmen with weaker willpower.
In the beginning, Sha Qing didn't understand why people called fox beastmen a scourge. Now that she was almost bewitched by Jiujiu, Sha Qing completely understood.
The reason why people called the Fox Beastmen a scourge wasn't because the Fox Beastmen themselves were bad, but because the Fox Beastmen unconsciously revealed an irresistible charm. Even if they didn't say anything or give any hints, it would still make people's imaginations run wild, and they couldn't help but think of other things.
Jiujiu was like this. She clearly didn't say anything or give any hints, but she couldn't help but think of so many things.
Sha Qing's sudden seriousness scared Jiujiu. The smile on Jiujiu's face instantly froze. She raised her head and blinked. She looked at Sha Qing in confusion and asked, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? "
Sha Qing pursed his lips and said without looking at Jiujiu, "You didn't do anything wrong. Just don't act like this in the future."
He had good willpower and understood Jiujiu. He knew that Jiujiu didn't mean to act like this. But what would those beastmen who didn't know Jiujiu think? Would they think that Jiujiu was a scourge?
Jiujiu's jubilant mood instantly turned heavy when she heard Sha Qing's words. She pursed her lips that were a bit dry from sadness. Her voice also turned from excitement and joy to low and lifeless. She replied in a small voice, "Oh, I know."
However, why did this "I know" sound like she had been wronged?
Sha Qing ruffled her short hair in annoyance. He looked at Jiujiu and said, "You sleep first. I still have something to do. I'll be going out for a while."
It was clearly night time, but Sha Qing still walked out under the moonlight. The silver moonlight was like milk, dyeing Sha Qing's bronze body into a gorgeous silver. His angular face was like a statue of an ancient Greek god. He was handsome and solemn.
