Their food consumption is now normal. 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Village One’s food came from here but we cannot continue with this arrangement forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they learn how to cook, we regularly send them food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because it will be a problem for both side, we only send them 30 days’ worth of preserved food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, we are sending them food every ten days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If things go as planned, we’ll only do this for a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unexpectedly, the food we send them lasts longer than they were supposed to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is not like they’re not eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their consumption is extremely low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example…..\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breakfast, salted soup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No lunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dinner, two steamed potatoes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I decided to put a supervisor for them for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they don’t eat well, it will be troubling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not like we’re sending them something that they can’t eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I cooked for them, they ate a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They even asked for another serving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I managed to figure out the reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Presently, they said that they are neither busy nor helpful so it is shameful for them to consume food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who don’t work must not eat….but it seems like they don’t know the word investment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You having a stable life in this village is enough for me…..\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is stability the problem?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is true that you’re not helpful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I not expecting anything from you either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, I can’t tell them that in their face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, I guess it can’t be helped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t let them fall to malnutrition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t face Fushu if that happens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t want to do this but this problem has come to this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「If you don’t eat it, let it rot.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, the food we distributed them will not last long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it has been some time already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, they decided to find something that they can do individually and they will now consume the food we sent properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While they are looking for the things they can do, one of them reveals that she’s able to use spirit magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s just think that she finally opens her heart a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the main job of the new villagers of Village One, they focus on farming, making small accessories, and making papers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are farming regardless of gender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though their farming level is only enough for their own kitchen garden, they are working hard and listens to what the minotaurs taught them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the men are making accessories\u002Fsmall objects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are making various things but they are mostly making things made of bamboo so I leave them be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m in the midst of plowing a bamboo grove near Village One now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them fell into knitting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even goes to Zabuton’s place to have her teach him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He presented me his finished work….it’s hot, why are you giving me a sweater?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It will be summer soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It will be good if you don’t give one to your wife or else she might wear it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’ll surely wear your masterpiece because of love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The women are mainly making papers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paper making did not start out of nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It went through several stages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before migrating to Village One, Fushu taught them how to read and write.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t want what they learn to go to waste so I thought of something that they can do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that is making new books by copying an existing one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I thought of that, printing press suddenly pops out of my mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was caught and questioned by the mountain elves and they made one by trial and error.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though I said that they made a printing press, it’s just a stamp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The idea is simple but creating it is quite difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the characters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The print won’t look good if the character doesn’t have the same font size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Imagine how much work is needed to make them all the same size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wanted to make the character stamp made of iron because of its durability but I had it made of bamboo for easy processing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, the women were making it but the men are faster so it became the men’s job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they are still unable to produce a sufficient number of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While waiting for the character stamp, it is the women’s time to make paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though we still have a moderate amount of paper, it will quickly disappear once printing starts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we buy them from Michael-san, it will be a considerable amount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, we just need to make our own paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for that plant needed for making paper, I can plant them here since Dors gifted me one before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I only know the method of making Japanese paper but once I provide the technical knowledge, everything will fall into place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Village One’s women started making paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, there are a number of failure because of trial and error but they eventually managed to make an okay looking one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They should continue to make more before the printing begins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other than making paper, they are also experimenting on making an appropriate ink for printing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The day when Village One’s work will be printing is coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, I also heard that there are people out there who are making a living by copying books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>TN: If you have watched\u002Fread GATE, Arpeggio is an example.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The livelihood of those people will be threatened if we mass produce books once we started printing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We have not started printing yet but we already have to think about limiting our printing production.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the time being, our target is to have children of this village have access to printed books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For outsiders….let’s limit our services to them on printing flyers than printing books. I heard that most commoners can’t read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They should have raised the literacy rate, what are those politicians thinking?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, it’s not like I can do anything about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing I can do is to give printed books to the orphanage I asked Beezel to build before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be great if they’ll get the chance of recognizing letters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Village One is working hard, Big Tree Village must not lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As of now, we are preparing for the festival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Somehow, the villagers also increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I include villagers from Village One, Village Two, and Village Three…..we are about 400?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, it’s not like everyone is participating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it will be more crowded, I need the venue needs to be modified and additional toilet should be added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I also increased the place where anyone can eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is because the oni maids are thinking of introducing new works.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After modifying the venue, I played with Kuro’s pups and Zabuton’s spiderlings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not like because I only wanted to have fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They will be the ones who are going to guard each village during the festival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They can’t participate in the festival so this is their compensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the pups, we played flying disk, fetch ball, and hunting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During hunting, I only played the role of a supervisor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of the pups shows off so I praise them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever a fanged rabbit rose, it will be instantly killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the huge wild boar, it will take four of them to take one down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, I think they’re pretty strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This has gone on for several days to have every one of them take their turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lot of ingredients was secured for the festival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the spiderlings, we have also done various things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We did something like a fashion show and we also hunted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I also sculptured life-size model of the spiderlings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was impossible to make one for each of them so they carefully selected their representatives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, I carefully reproduced life-size figures of those representatives on their selective pose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m going to use them as decorations in my residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Will these surprise people who don’t know of them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the way, I put a title on my last sculpture, “Sergeant Zabuton’s Command While Drinking Coffee”.\u003C\u002Fp>",1689,"2026-06-05T23:08:13.747Z",1,"novelbin.me","e528999269199eea48f7d979c34e0bfb66613cfda828e981c63de8681339662f","isekai-nonbiri-nouka-chapter-175","isekai-nonbiri-nouka-chapter-173",1036,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fisekai-nonbiri-nouka-cover.jpg"]
