Chapter 349 Haircutting
Outside the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, Lang Cang was leading the orcs of various races to reinforce the city's moat.
The moat is the first line of defense for the City of Beasts and must be repaired and maintained at all times.
"Lord of the city, come and have some food and rest!" Xiong Fei's voice came from not far away.
Lang Cang walked to the thatched shed, picked up the bowl and took a big gulp of water, then glanced at the food cart.
Xiong Fei chuckled, "The high priest and the canteen made pancakes together for lunch today."
After the wheat is threshed and stored, enough seeds are set aside, and the rest is the harvest of the tribe, mainly supplied to the canteen to make some new and interesting things for everyone to try.
"I heard they're steaming buns tomorrow, but I don't even know what steamed buns are."
His partner even managed to get a bite of noodles, while he didn't even get a single noodle.
Lang Cang shook his head helplessly. These two were definitely a pair of foodie partners.
He said that Lu Xiao was in such a hurry to find Bai Yan that day because he hadn't had a good meal.
Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.
Lu Xiao turned and went into the thatched hut, putting down the blueprints in his hand. He didn't even see Xiong Fei. He sniffed the air with his keen nose and stared at the cart with shining eyes. "What smells so good?"
Xiong Fei looked at his partner with a blank expression. Sure enough, when it came to food, even his partner had to take a backseat.
He coughed lightly. "It's flatbread."
Lu Xiao turned his head and saw the big brown bear with a dark face. He blinked and asked, "When did you get here?"
Xiong Fei gritted his teeth, "I've been here for a long time!"
"hey-hey."
"Quickly, quick, try the pancakes and see if they're delicious!"
Outside the city, things were bustling with activity, and inside the city, it was just as lively.
Lin Baiyan led a group of people to block the breeding area.
He snapped the scissors in his hand, then with a flick of his long, slender fingers, shouted, "Grab them!"
Several male orcs from Huyang and Huqiu slowly approached the grazing sheep, forming a circle around them.
The sheep were engrossed in eating the grass on the ground, completely unaware of what was happening.
Lin Baiyan had long coveted the wool of these sheep, which was fluffy and thick.
The cotton he planted this year won't ripen until November, and the quantity of cotton is not large, so it will be difficult to make cotton clothes in a short period of time.
It's summer now, and the sheep's thick wool must be getting hot. It's a good time to shave them all. The wool can be used to make felt, wool sweaters, and yarn.
Several male orcs stealthily appeared at the rear of them.
Tiger Hill reacted swiftly, lunging forward and grabbing a sheep by its hind leg. Caught off guard, the sheep was pulled by its leg and slid straight out.
Hu Yang, Hu Wei, and Zhu Shan each grabbed a sheep.
"Meow meow meow—"
The flock of sheep were startled and scattered, but a few managed to escape.
Tiger Hill and his men tightly tied the sheep's limbs with straw ropes and placed it on a large rock.
Lin Baiyan stepped forward a few steps, smiling as he waved the scissors.
To be honest, this was his first time shearing a sheep.
"High Priest, please be careful, this sheep's hind legs are very strong!"
"Why don't I take charge and you give the orders?" Hu Yang asked, somewhat worried.
Their high priest looks so thin and weak. If he gets kicked and broken by a sheep, the city lord will surely cut him into five pieces!
Lin Baiyan waved his hand, "None of you have done this before, so I'll do it."
Although it was his first time doing it, even if he hadn't eaten pork before, he had at least seen pigs run, right?
He held the scissors in his hand and pondered for a moment. How were sheep sheared in the short videos?
It seems like he started by targeting the stomach area. Before, when he was stressed and lacked inspiration at work, he liked to watch short videos to relieve stress, such as those about repairing donkey hooves or shearing sheep.
Thanks to short videos, he learned so many strange and interesting facts.
He carefully recalled the general process and had a general idea in mind. "You guys get me two nails and a chain."
Two iron nails were driven into the ground, and then the sheep's limbs were tied with chains, pulling the sheep into a straight line.
Lin Baiyan squatted down next to the sheep, gently stroking it to comfort it. He then took a pair of scissors and cut straight down from the sheep's hind legs to the top of its head.
The shears used to shear sheep are specially made, about a foot long. Lin Baiyan is very careful, afraid of poking a hole in the sheep.
He slowly made the first snip, and the wool gradually came off. Then he used his hands to stretch the sheep's skin, making it easier to remove the wool.
At first, I wasn't very skilled, and sure enough, blood was drawn. With one snip, the white scissors went in and the red scissors came out.
The sheep bleated in pain, its limbs thrashing about.
Lin Baiyan quickly sprinkled some hemostatic powder on the wound.
Let's go all out and use this sheep as practice.
Gradually, he found the knack, and the scissors in his hands became more and more obedient. More than an hour had passed since he cut down a sheep.
Lin Baiyan shook his slightly sore wrists. The scissors were quite heavy, and his hands were shaking after holding them for more than an hour.
He turned to look at the other orcs, "Did you all understand?"
Yang Ye nodded. "I understand almost everything."
Lin Baiyan pulled a new pair of scissors from the basket behind him and handed it to him, "Why don't you give it a try?"
Just as Yang Ye was about to take the scissors, a voice came, "High Priest, why don't I go first?"
Lin Baiyan turned his head and saw Huan Cun.
Badger scratched his head. "I spend a lot of time in the sheep farm, so these sheep don't go crazy when they see me."
Lin Baiyan thought about it and realized that what he said made some sense. He had the bloodline of the Beast God, which was why the sheep was so obedient and let him do whatever he wanted. If it were any other beastman, things might not be so simple.
He has no intention of killing the sheep yet; the animals in this breeding area are to be kept as reserve food, and they will only be useful when food is scarce.
It would be such a pity to die now.
Lin Baiyan nodded. "Then you can go first."
Badger weighed the scissors in his hand, grabbed a sheep, bent down, and began to perform the same movements he had just seen Lin Baiyan use.
The sheep seemed to smell the familiar scent as well; although it twitched occasionally, it didn't struggle.
Badger's technique was quick and precise; the scissors in his hand were like a third hand.
In less than half an hour, he had sheared all the wool off a sheep. Badger untied the straw rope tied to the sheep's hooves, patted its rump, and said, "Let's go."
The lambs, now free, immediately rushed back to their flock, running swiftly to return to their mothers.
Waaaaah, there are bad orcs here who have shorn all the sheep's wool!
