Chapter 77: Changing the meat distribution rules

The Great Stone camp had already been destroyed, and the five-hundred-meter territory on the outskirts of Red Wood Ridge that originally belonged to them now naturally belonged to Does Does Da Xia.

There are three Ice-Crystal Trees on Does Does Da Xia's territory; counting the six at Great Stone, that makes nine in total.

Based on the previous estimate of six thousand jin of crystal fruit per Ice-Crystal Tree each time, with three harvests a year, that totals about one hundred and sixty thousand jin per year.

It sounded like a lot, but one had to know that the total population of the camp was 341.

At one jin per person per day, based on the current total population, nine Ice-Crystal Trees—provided they mature normally and are harvested properly without any accidents—are more than enough to support everyone in the camp.

But the problem was, no one could guarantee that there would be no accidents.

People were fine. With Does Does Da Xia's current strength and reputation, other camps in Red Wood Ridge, unless they encountered extreme situations, would definitely not randomly cross the boundary to pick under normal circumstances.

The main thing was cold beasts.

There were simply too many cold beasts in Red Wood Ridge, and their range of activity clearly had a trend of constantly spreading outward.

Earliest, within that five-hundred-meter range of the Does Does Da Xia territory, Xia Hong only found four cold beasts. Following the killing of that last Golden-Eyed Demon Sheep, theoretically, there shouldn't be any cold beasts in the Does Does Da Xia territory for the time being.

But the fact was, he had just hunted an adult Snow Mane, and that Snow Mane, if nothing unexpected happened, had run over in the past two days.

Crystal fruits could be eaten not only by humans, but cold beasts would also eat them.

These nine Ice-Crystal Trees, if not kept in sight, will be eaten by cold beasts at any moment once they bear fruit if not harvested in time.

Therefore, before there are conditions for transplantation, the only way is to check the status of the Ice-Crystal Trees frequently. Once the harvest date is confirmed, one can check them every three to four months thereafter.

Xia Hong also wanted to use cold beasts as the staple food for everyone in the camp, but the problem was it couldn't be done, so he could only continue as before, supplying a portion of people.

From the hunting of that Snow Mane just now, one could see that even with the Shocking Cold blade, he couldn't achieve hunting low-level cold beasts alone; he still needed others to cooperate.

Moreover, as long as there was hunting, there was risk. Even if he was there, he couldn't guarantee that not a single person would be injured. Besides, he had only come into contact with three types of cold beasts so far. Encountering others he hadn't seen before, even he himself couldn't guarantee absolute safety.

Therefore, letting the whole camp have cold beast meat freedom, Does Does Da Xia was still far from it.

However, thinking that even the Luo Ge camp couldn't do this, Xia Hong felt a little better in his heart. After all, Does Does Da Xia had only been in his hands for three months in total. Being able to develop to the current level was already considered very good.

Soon, the three of them had inspected all six Ice-Crystal Trees.

They had picked them a few days ago, so there were no fruits on the trees.

But observing the growth, two trees should be not far from fruiting.

After marking the locations, the three returned to the camp together.

Now the camp didn't need to seal the entrance at night, so they could see the camp's firelight from over a hundred meters away.

Outside the cave, some elderly people were collecting slightly cleaner snow on the ground with wooden buckets; the young ones were playing and frolicking on the side.

"It's been a long time since I saw this scene!"

Hearing Yuan Cheng's exclamation, Xia Hong and Xia Chuan also felt a bit of sigh in their hearts.

Letting the ordinary people in the camp be able to enter and exit freely like before.

Just for this goal, they had worked hard for over three months.

And, there were a few times in this, where they almost lost their lives.

In fact, if it weren't for the Level 2 Iron Smelting Furnace, he might not have dared to open the entrance until now.

After all, the Wood Puppet Ghost was gone. Who knew if there were other ghosts.

"Older brother, Shi Qing and that group of people, should we distribute cold beast meat to them?"

Approaching the entrance, Xia Chuan suddenly asked. Xia Hong turned to look at him and Yuan Cheng, didn't answer, but asked directly:

"What do you think?"

The two looked at each other, and it could be seen that their expressions were still hesitant.

But soon, Yuan Cheng nodded and said: "We should distribute it. They are also part of the camp now."

Xia Chuan also nodded, but hesitated for a moment, and said: "I also think we should distribute it, but the rules should be changed. We can't distribute it in the previous 3-5-2 mode anymore.

Now that we have iron tools, cold beast meat should be able to be obtained stably in the future. We must use it with a plan and can't distribute it all at once anymore."

Xia Hong heard this, looked at Xia Chuan, and a look of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

"It seems you have an idea. Tell me about it."

Getting Xia Hong's encouragement, Xia Chuan also revealed a look of confidence on his face, thought for a while, and said: "My idea is, from now on, all cold beast meat should be concentrated and stored, and the people who distribute meat should be temporarily divided into four grades.

The first grade is the leader, that is, older brother, you. You alone can adjust the cold beast meat reserves according to the cultivation situation. After all, the current acquisition of cold beast meat in the camp mainly relies on you alone..."

Hearing the first grade, Xia Hong's brows frowned slightly, but he didn't interrupt Xia Chuan, just continued to listen to him quietly.

"The second grade is the hunting team. Today's Snow Mane, although we all participated, to tell the truth, we didn't help much. We also follow the Luo Ge camp's rules. Only after breaking through to the Earth-Digging Realm can we officially count as hunting team members, so the second grade has no personnel for now.

The third grade is the woodcutting team, which is the members of the Woodcutting Realm. There are ten people in total, including me. According to the situation, five jin per person per day is enough for us to steadily improve.

The fourth grade is the woodcutting team reserves. According to basic strength, divide into two grades. Over one thousand jin per day is one jin, and over three thousand jin per day is two jin.

In addition, the conditions for the woodcutting team reserves should also be relaxed a bit. I suggest setting the age between fifteen and twenty-five. I have calculated that the total number of people in this age group in the camp is only sixty-nine.

According to this four-grade standard, our monthly cold beast meat consumption is about four thousand jin. As long as hunting is successful three to five times, we can maintain operation, which should be more than enough for us currently.

If there is a surplus later, it will all be used as reserves, which the leader can use to reward people who have made contributions, or relax the age limit for reserves. Everything follows the reserve amount of cold beast meat."

Listening to Xia Chuan's four-grade division method, Xia Hong couldn't help but sigh in admiration in his heart.

"Could this kid have been possessed by a ghost?"

He even doubted a bit whether Xia Chuan was himself.

It wasn't to say that Xia Chuan's idea was how powerful.

He originally intended to change the meat distribution rules, and the general idea was the same as Xia Chuan's, just not as detailed as Xia Chuan's.

The key was, it wasn't strange that he could think of it, after all, he had the bonus of insight from his previous life. But Xia Chuan, to tell the truth, was only sixteen years old and had lived in the Does Does Da Xia camp since he was a child. Where did he think of so many twists and turns?

Even thinking of leaving a portion of cold beast meat for him, the leader, to reward people, and relaxing the age limit for reserves, all this was thought of?

"How did you think of it?"

Xia Hong really couldn't help but ask a question.

Probably seeing the shock in Xia Hong's heart, Xia Chuan laughed, and turned to look at Yuan Cheng beside him.

Yuan Cheng clearly knew the inside story and smiled: "Leader, this was taught by Leader Luo the night before last at the Luo Ge camp. Xia Chuan went to him to inquire about how the Luo Ge camp distributes meat. After Luo Ming said it, we also told him about the 3-5-2 rule.

After Luo Ming heard it, he said that the leader, you, have strong strength and ability, and Does Does Da Xia will definitely have great potential in the future, so he discussed such a rule with Xia Chuan."

Taught by Luo Ming.

Xia Hong was stunned, and his heart felt somewhat strange.

Luo Ming, why teach Xia Chuan these things?
