I Became The Chief of A Primitive Village

Chapter 123: Forming a Fishing Team Isn’t Bad?

At night, Yu Ying looked at the dish on the stone table, pointing at her chin, murmuring, “Shaman, is this really edible?”

The dinner in the Main Teepee was prepared by Su Bai, who had placed a thin stone slab over the fire pit.

He stir-fried Ocean Lily Fruit Peels with Ferocious Beast Meat, adding some wild vegetables and chilli sauce. The result: appetising stir-fried meat in front of the fox eared girl.

“Try it and you’ll know!” Su Bai used wooden sticks to pick up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

“Alright.” Yu Ying followed suit and picked up a piece of meat with wooden sticks as well.

The originally strong gamey flavour of the Ferocious Beast Meat was combined with the chilli sauce and stir-fried Ocean Lily Fruit. It was balanced by the chilli sauce, and the unique sweet and sour taste of the Ocean Lily Fruit further enhanced the meat’s core flavour.

“Nod bad.” Su Bai gave a slight nod, thinking it was much more delicious than simply eating roasted Ferocious Beast Meat.

“Shaman, this tastes so good. I didn’t know Ocean Lily Fruit Peels could really be used for cooking.” Yu Ying said with a satisfied expression.

The fox eared girl kept swishing her fox tail, her pink eyes fixed intently on the stir-fried meat on the table.

“Eat up, there’s plenty more.”

Su Bai smiled seeing her eager expression, and continued, “Next time, you can try stir-frying meat with Ocean Lily Fruits too.”

“Yes.” Yu Ying continued eating the meat.

In recent days, Yu Ying had always been too shy to eat meat in big bites, only daring to eat freely after getting permission. Every time she ate, she had a look of satisfaction on her face. In this simple primitive era, just having meat to eat made one in bliss.

Su Bai picked up the water infused with Ocean Lily Fruit, took a sip, and continued preparing to make Shaman Bone Tablets.

Although the Tribe was currently training an Archery Team and had gained seven more Totem Warriors, it was far from enough.

If war were to break out, Shaman Bone Tablets would be the most important thing. Now, the priority was to ensure an ample supply of Shaman Bone Tablets, enough for each fighter to have four or five.

Moreover, there needed to be sufficient quantities of Divination Shaman Bone Tablets, Healing Shaman Bone Tablets, and Blessing Shaman Bone Tablets.

“Shaman, I’ve finished eating. I’ll go prepare water for your bath.” Yu Ying said.

“Alright, you go take a bath first, then help me after you’re done.” Su Bai looked up and said.

“Okay.” Yu Ying tidied up nearby things and left the Teepee.

…

*Chirp chirp… Tweet tweet…*

The next morning, Su Bai woke up to the sound of birds chirping. The first thing he did was to have the System check in and open the package in his mind.

This time, he received another pack of fishhooks, about twenty of them, in various sizes.

“Fishhooks again? They’re good items, but of no use right now,” Su Bai muttered to himself. [Why did I have to get them again? They aren’t of much use at this time since there are no rivers or lakes near the Tribe. They would only be useful when they returned to the Ancestral Land…]

[No, wait! Argh! I’m an idiot!] Su Bai widened his black eyes slightly and continued. [How can I forget there’s a lake nearby!?]

He suddenly remembered his first few days in the Tribe, where he went to dig out a small pit for water to flow from the small lake. The lake was not big, but it should be fine for fishing.

He abruptly got up and scanned the Teepee, not seeing any trace of the fox eared girl. Thus, he poured himself a cup of water.

Walking to the stone table, he started planning, wondering if he could form a Fishing Team or something similar.

“Shaman, you’re up? I’ll prepare breakfast for you right away,” Yu Ying put down the linen clothes in her hand.

“No rush. Where were you just now?” Su Bai asked curiously.

“Shaman, I… I thought you wouldn’t wake up so soon, so I went to wash some linen…” Yu Ying thought she had done something wrong.

Su Bai waved his hand, indicating that she should not be that anxious, and continued. “It’s alright. I was just asking.”

“Then, I’ll make your breakfast right away.” Yu Ying hurriedly said.

“No. Go call the Chieftain and Cang Shi here first. I have something to tell them,” Su Bai arranged.

Realising that the fishhooks could be put to use now, he felt it was better to arrange things first. Breakfast could wait.

“Alright, I’ll go right away,” Yu Ying turned and ran out.

Su Bai found her anxious demeanour to be both cute and amusing. He began to think about the things needed for fishing, such as bait, fishing rods, fishing line, and floats.

[These things all need a substitute to work. Thankfully for fishing rods, we don’t really need to find specific materials. Any flexible substitute would do. As for the bait, surely there would be something like earthworms in this era? If not, insects would work too. The only problems is the fishing line and floats. These two don’t seem to be that easy to resolve. I would need to ask Yan Jiao and Cang Shi if they knew of any suitable substitutes.]

Just as Su Bai finished thinking about these things, the fox eared girl came in. After getting permission, she brought in Yan Jiao and Cang Shi.

“Shaman, what did you need us for?” Yan Jiao asked in a solemn tone. He could not help feeling a bit excited in his heart, after all, every time the Shaman called them into the Main Teepee, something good happened.

Even if it was not always good news, it was always something beneficial for the Tribe’s development. He always looked forward to being summoned.

“Shaman, do you want us to hunt some prey?” As for the single-minded Cang Shi, he only knew about hunting.

“No. Do we have any very flexible ropes in the Tribe, or something similar?” Su Bai asked directly.

“Very flexible ropes? No, we all use woven vines,” Cang Shi shook his head.

“Shaman, what do you need ropes for? I’ll see if there are any other substitutes and bring them to you.” Yan Jiao asked.

Su Bai pursed his lips and continued asking, “Is there anything very thin and flexible, similar to our hair but a bit thicker?”

“Let me think…” Yan Jiao began seriously pondering over this.
