Farming in the wild, the leader's wife is hanging up again!

Chapter 67 The Cotton Picking Competition

As soon as this proposal spread, it immediately attracted a voice of approval among the women's team.

"Okay, Qingti is the captain, you challenge the men, let's compare with them to see which team picks more cotton."

But in the men's team, there was an uproar and disdain.

"Hehe, women actually want to compete with us men. No comparison, they can't win at all."

"Who is this ignorant woman who actually came up with such an idea and asked him to explain the truth to this woman at night. I only heard that a man rides on a woman. When does a woman want to ride on a man's head?"

In the habits of barbarians, men have always been the main labor force.

Because the main source of food is hunting.

Although there are also picked foods, most of them cannot be stored for long periods of time and are prone to spoilage.

Therefore, women do not occupy the main position in clan labor.

It is also for this reason that the status of women cannot be compared with that of men.

But now that a woman has proposed to challenge the status of a man, the men's team naturally disdains it.

Chu Yao's heart moved. Although the status of women had been greatly improved after she came to the Suiren clan, in the bones of barbarians, the idea that men are superior to women is still deeply rooted.Why not take this opportunity and make some changes.

As far as she is concerned, if it is picking cotton, the woman must win, because women are naturally more nimble and faster than men.

Thinking this way, she looked at Suiye and offered to propose: "Patriarch, why don't I join the Qingti women's team and you join Suiwu's men's team. Let's compare the two teams and see which team gets the pick today." Lots of cotton.”

Although Sui Ye didn't want to compete with Chu Yao, but the competitive spirit in the man made him naturally stand on the man's side.

Immediately he replied: "Okay, just do as Madam said, but what rewards will there be if you win? What punishment will you have if you lose?"

The men did not expect that the patriarch would take the initiative to agree to the goddess's challenge. They were happy and started to cheer.

"If the man wins, let the women one by one, serve our men well here." This idea is a bit ruinous, Chu Yao didn't intend to agree.

"Or, if the men's team wins, the women's team will cook food for the men's team." Some men also suggested this.

Someone on the women's team immediately agreed: "OK, what if the women's team wins?"

The men replied: "Today's food will be cooked by men."

As soon as this proposal was uttered, the women immediately jumped up happily.

Because usually even if there is no competition or anything, cooking is always a woman's job.

Therefore, even if they lose, the women are just doing what they have to do.

And if you win, you can let the arrogant men cook and kill the arrogance of the men.

So, at Chu Yao's suggestion, a cotton picking competition started again.

Ever since the women beat the men in the last river crossing competition, the men have been unconvinced.

And that match was because Sui Ye became careless and proposed a competition between one person and ten women. Although it was ten women against five men, the men were obviously not convinced to lose.

This time, it was the same number of men against the same number of women. The men were naturally full of confidence, and they wanted to let these girls learn how powerful men are.

Because there is a competition, the progress of both sides picking cotton is much faster.

After Chu Yao asked the people on both sides to gather more cotton, they gathered people together and moved them to the outside of the cotton field, and each found a flat place to stack them separately.

Due to the competition between the two parties, the work started very quickly. Near the evening, all the mature cotton on a large cotton field had been picked, and there were still many green cotton bolls hanging on the plants.

Qing asked: "Goddess, what should I do with these immature cotton bolls?"

Chu Yao went into the field and took a look. There were a lot of immature cotton bolls, and they could come and pick them once, so she said: "Stay here, after a while, when they are ripe, we will come and pick them again."

Outside the cotton field, the laughter of men and women came. It turned out that the two sides were arguing about who picked more cotton.

From a distance, Chu Yao saw that the pile of cotton picked by the man was obviously only about half of that of the woman.

Then he asked Sui Ye: "Patriarch, the cotton is packed in net bags, do you want to count the amount on both sides, and then decide the winner?"

There is no scale in this era, it is all based on the size of the thing, and then compare the quantity between the two, and then divide the number.

Suiye glanced at the cotton piles of the men, then at the cotton piles picked by the women, and said helplessly, "Don't count, the men lost."

As soon as Sui Ye's words came out, the men wailed, but they had nothing to say. The amount of cotton piles on both sides was clear at a glance, just like what Sui Ye said, there was no need to compare.

So some women started making noises and asked the men to cook the food.

While the men were reluctantly making excuses, someone shouted in the cotton field: "What a big hare."

It turns out that this cotton field is very large, so there are some small beasts hidden in it.

Sui Ye said: "I also saw a few wild rabbits in front of me, but this thing ran too fast, and I couldn't catch it at all."

The men have all participated in hunting, and they understand that unless they are surrounded by many people in an open area, it is impossible to catch fast animals like hares.

At this time, many people said: "There are many hares in this cotton field, and I saw a few in it."

"Yes, I saw it too. It's a pity, if it can be caught, it can be eaten by the tribe for a long time."

Although everyone knows that there are many small beasts inside, there is no way to catch them in this dense cotton field.

Chu Yao looked at the terrain of the cotton field, and then at the sky. There was still some time before it got dark, so she had an idea.

She called Sui Ye over: "Patriarch, I have an idea, I can catch all the little beasts here."

Suiye suddenly became interested: "Madam, is there any way to catch these things?"

Chu Yao looked at Qingti and Suiwu who were surrounding them, and said: "We can let the men line up in the cotton field and drive these hares to the other side of the valley. There are mountains on both sides of the valley, and the hares can only run in one direction. , and at the end of the cotton field is a small river, the hares can't run."

Sui Ye was puzzled and said: "Although wild rabbits can't cross the river, they run fast, even if you chase them until then, you still can't catch them."

The valley is very large, and the hundreds of men and women's teams would not occupy much space in it, so the hares had enough room to maneuver and escape in the valley.

Chu Yao looked at the bow and arrow on Qingti's back, and said: "As long as the hare leaves the cotton field and reaches a place with a wide view, Qingti will lead the women's team to shoot them with bows and arrows."

Hearing what Chu Yao said, Suiye praised her repeatedly.
