Chapter 967, New Business Opportunities

Translator: Silavin

 

Su Bai returned to the Yong’an Building, prepared to process documents. Today’s documents were all about the new slaves.

 

Yesterday, they had registered for an entire day before finishing. The number was truly a bit much. Apart from registering information, the most important thing was to arrange work and accommodation for them.

 

This was also quite troublesome. They still had to temporarily separate the slaves from the two Tribes. This was to prevent those people from having some unnecessary conflicts, or perhaps having some other plans.

 

“Shaman, there are so many documents. It’s just a pity I don’t know many characters yet, otherwise I could help Shaman.” Yu Ying felt somewhat guilty.

 

Sometimes when Yu Ying saw Su Bai so busy, she only regretted that she knew too little.

 

“It’s fine, I can still handle these documents. You go make lunch first,” Su Bai smiled slightly.

 

Actually, Yu Ying could understand these documents. After all, those people doing the registration knew even fewer characters than her.

 

The materials currently being registered were all composed of very simple Chinese Characters. Yu Ying had studied for the longest time, so she could definitely understand them.

 

It was just that the simple Yu Ying did not know this point. She only knew that those documents seem to be full of text, so she naturally felt they must be difficult.

 

Yu Ying also did not want to create more trouble for the Shaman if she made a mistake/

 

“Yes,” Yu Ying pitifully lowered her head.

 

If she knew that those documents were comprehensible, she would probably feel even more annoyed with herself.

 

Su Bai picked up the first document and began browsing through it. Without exception, the front ones were all very normal.

 

Either they knew nothing, or they were some carpenters, stonemasons, or perhaps some people who understood herbs.

 

Being able to know herbs was already quite good. Apart from this, there were also methods for capturing beasts, as well as methods for identifying edible weeds and so on.

 

In short, the more people there were, the more differences there were. None of this was anything particularly surprising.

 

Until Su Bai saw the information registered for Qi La, his black eyes instantly brightened.

 

“This is… embroidery?”

 

Su Bai’s tone was very excited, continuously looking at the materials without blinking.

 

Although Qi La’s name was registered in a jumbled mess, obviously not knowing how to write the characters, one could roughly make out the pronunciation of what the registrar wanted to highlight.

 

Also, what she was skilled at was not written very clearly. It might be the case of not knowing how to write it, but an item attached to the side explained everything.

 

It was a small piece of Animal Hide with a small flower pattern pricked onto it with a bone spike.

 

What this represented was self-evident. Su Bai looked at it very excitedly.

 

He knew nothing about embroidery, nor had he read any related books. So even though Su Bai had wanted to do something with linen, unfortunately he did not understand much about this aspect and had no way to start.

 

But now it was different. Before his eyes was a talent, an embroidery talent.

 

“Shaman, what’s wrong? What happened?” Yu Ying immediately became concerned.

 

She felt Shaman had always been very steady, but at this moment was a bit different, just like when she had eaten Millet.

 

“Xiao Yu, come look at this. What do you think?” Su Bai passed the piece of Animal Hide embroidery over.

 

Yu Ying curiously received the Animal Hide embroidery and browsed through it. After a good while, she was also a bit surprised. “Shaman, this looks really nice. Someone made it, right?”

 

Yu Ying now dealt with embroidery needles every day. Most of the time she was mending clothes. Now seeing embroidery, she suddenly had a very familiar feeling.

 

“Yes, someone made this. Do you think it looks nice?” Su Bai asked again.

 

“I think it looks very nice. If it could be sewn onto our clothes, it would definitely make it even more attractive.” Yu Ying said without hesitation.

 

The dresses they wore now, if the top no longer had nothing on it but instead had these patterns, it would definitely look much better than having no patterns.

 

“Completely correct. In my homeland, there are many fabrics with this kind of pattern. No, all kinds of patterns.”

 

Su Bai rubbed Yu Ying’s head, saying warmly. “Then using fabric with patterns to make clothes, the effect presented would look very nice.”

 

He suddenly felt a business opportunity had arrived. As long as this person was properly cultivated, in the future, the Tribe’s skill for embroidery would develop.

 

Su Bai had long grown tired of monotonous cloth, even if colour was added. Having patterns on fabric was what was most surprising. To put it exaggeratedly, it was like giving life to the garment.

 

“Shaman, is this person among the slaves?” Yu Ying asked curiously.

 

“Yes. After looking for quite a while, I’ve finally seen a talent,” Su Bai smiled with satisfaction.

 

“If we give her linen, perhaps such nice patterns will appear too, right Shaman?” Yu Ying asked expectantly.

 

Su Bai smiled, drank a mouthful of tea and said: “Completely possible. After I finish looking through these documents, I’ll call her over.”

 

“Shaman, why not call her over right now?” Yu Ying asked curiously.

 

“Silly girl, I still have many documents I haven’t finished looking through. What if some more talents appear? Wouldn’t I have to make another trip? So, things that can be done all at once shouldn’t be done repeatedly.”

 

Su Bai glanced at the documents to show Yu Ying, continuing. “When we do things, we must pay attention to efficiency, understand?”

 

Yu Ying happily nodded her head. However, seeing the documents in that glance, the expression on her face seemed a bit different.

 

She looked several more times, instantly widening her pink eyes. “Shaman, I think I can understand these documents.”

 

Yu Ying connected this to what was just said, then looked at these documents and instantly blushed.

 

“Hahaha… I’ve almost finished reading them. Don’t take it to heart.” Su Bai laughed heartily.

 

“Shaman, I’m very sorry I couldn’t help in time,” Yu Ying was full of guilt.

 

Su Bai reached out to pinch her cheeks, saying warmly. “You’ve always been able to help me, so don’t blame yourself.”

 

“Yes,” Yu Ying’s soft voice sounded.

 

Su Bai picked up the documents and continued reading. After finishing reading Qi La’s information, his black eyes instantly bore surprise again.

 

The document in his hand registered content about Lu Lu. It was written quite clearly this time.

 

That was, Lu Lu was skilled at making things that produced sounds, and the sounds were quite pleasant.

 

These few characters were not difficult for people just learning Chinese Characters. Each character was also written quite easily and neatly.

 

“If I’m not mistaken, this is most likely a musical instrument. I did not expect people of the primitive era would also make musical instruments outside of ceremonies.” Su Bai’s lips curved upward slightly.

 

Suddenly two talents had arrived in succession. The boring matters from before were instantly forgotten.

 

“Musical instruments? Shaman, what is that?” Yu Ying had been listening quietly from the side all along.

 

Yu Ying was multitasking. While mending clothes, she was also seriously observing Su Bai.
