"If you want to gain the Lord's recognition, you need to show results quickly."
"Understood, understood."
Xue Rui nodded quickly, disregarding manners, and immediately sat down. With a grasp of his paws, he picked up the black bread and fiercely took a bite.
Human bread is truly delicious!
Xue Rui couldn't help but squint his eyes in pleasure.
Previously, a human named Ola had taught the Earth Ear Race how to make bread, but it was too much effort. After Ola left, they never made it again.
The main reason was that the Bloodscale Tribe attacked nearby human settlements, leaving the Earth Ear Race with no place to trade for rye.
The other Snow Rabbit People were just as impolite, grabbing the bread to tear and gnaw at it, then quickly chewing like rabbits.
The salted vegetables were also very tasty, and the Snow Rabbit People ate with great delight.
Labette stood there, watching his clansmen devour the food, and couldn't help but swallow down his saliva.
His Adam's apple moved visibly, a hint of struggle in his eyes.
But his earlier bold words restrained him.
Lawrence was unaware of their conversation.
Seeing Labette frozen in place, Lawrence looked at Xue Rui: "Why isn't the big guy eating? Could you not waste time?"
"Right, right, right!"
Xue Rui hurriedly turned, forcefully pulling Labette to sit down,
"Hurry and eat, don't waste time!"
Labette swallowed hard again, his face turning bright red, his fists clenched awkwardly.
"I..."
After a moment's hesitation, he looked up at Xue Rui.
Xue Rui was too busy to respond, seriously munching bread.
"Elder Labette, eat up."
A clan member beside him took a moment to remind him, then went back to eating.
Labette controlled himself, pondered for a moment, but couldn't help but lift his paw and reach for the black bread.
Then a gurgling sound came from his stomach.
He brought the black bread to his mouth, gritted his teeth, and took a fierce bite.
The next second, Labette's eyes widened, unable to help but grin with a big smile,
"Delicious!"
With the first bite, Labette immediately went crazy, stuffing bread into his mouth one bite after another.
Though he was the last to start eating, he finished first.
Lawrence was left dumbfounded.
No wonder he's the strongest of these Snow Rabbit People.
Once the Snow Rabbit People were all burping and contentedly reclining in their chairs, Lawrence took them to their lodging.
It was a separate slave dormitory, prepared in advance by Lawrence.
After giving a few instructions and telling them to rest well, Lawrence left.
"Was the black bread good?"
Xue Rui looked at Labette and asked with a smile.
Labette burped, his face instantly flushed red.
He wanted to say something but eventually lowered his head in silence.
Xue Rui didn't let him off the hook and said: "If it were as you said, we'd have already fainted by now."
"If there's no problem, I can work harder tomorrow!"
Labette turned his face aside and loudly promised: "I'll outwork all of you."
"You also ate the most."
"Hahahaha!"
Xue Rui's words immediately drew laughter from the tribesmen.
She looked at her people and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Since being hunted by the Bloodscale Tribe, it had been a long time since everyone was this happy.
She really hoped these days would continue.
...
...
The next morning.
Lawrence arrived at the dormitory, dressed in a thick fur coat.
The Snow Rabbit People were already ready, sitting at the table waiting.
Lawrence saw this and nodded slightly, then had breakfast with them.
Once Xue Rui and the others were full, Lawrence took them to the construction site.
"This is the cellar that was halfway excavated before, only the first layer dug. We still need the second layer of the ice cellar."
Lawrence pointed at the hole on the ground as he explained.
The cellar was more difficult to excavate than imagined.
Soft soil layers were prone to collapse, and rocky or hard clay was difficult and labor-intensive to dig.
The most important thing was to consider the stability of the internal structure to prevent collapses.
You must know, the cellar is not just an ordinary hole, but a spacious space.
The construction of the deeper ice cellar was even more challenging.
Lawrence handed the blueprints to Xue Rui,
"Since you can handle it, I'll leave the rest to you."
"The Lord's requirement is a double layer, the first underground is a storeroom, the second is an ice cellar."
"The Lord wants more than just this one. If this is done well, you will have food in the future."
"Rest assured, Sir Lawrence!"
Xue Rui patted his chest, confidently guaranteeing: "We'll make sure the esteemed Lord is satisfied!"
