Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 244 Correct Skincare Steps

As for glycerin, few of the tribesmen are interested in using it on themselves. Their skin is like a fortified wall of copper, hardened by countless battles, so they don't need to apply glycerin.

But if you're using it on your own baby whose delicate skin cracks and cries out at the slightest sign of dryness, then you'll have to give it a try.

Once you try it, you can't stop. The children stop crying, and they can finally get a good night's sleep every day.

The excited parents quickly shared the news with other members of their clan who had children—their own children were children, and other people's children were children too.

Glycerin quickly became a treasured product for all parents, the only problem being that glycerin was used up a little too quickly.

The skin of cubs is delicate, so it's not enough to just apply cream to their face and hands every day; they need to apply it all over their bodies, and every single day.

In addition, the tribespeople use their own large hands to directly dab the food every day, so at least half of it is wasted on their own hands, which makes the consumption rate quite fast.

Xing hadn't even had a chance to enjoy the tranquility of the snowy season before she was overwhelmed by a huge pile of glycerin orders. She was working overtime every day to make glycerin, and she almost couldn't finish them all.

The glycerin that Xing brought was prepared in a 1:10 ratio, with one portion set aside for Jiang Luoluo as a share for every ten portions made.

Given how much the tribe values ​​glycerin, if so much glycerin were offered for trade, it would be snapped up instantly.

Jiang Luoluo scratched her head. She really hadn't expected this, because she applied glycerin to herself every day, so she hadn't noticed that her skin would crack during the snowy season. She had made so much glycerin before, but no one wanted it. If she didn't use it, then no one would use it either.

Even if she doesn't have a skincare routine, Jiang Luoluo still has to use up all the glycerin herself, otherwise it would be too wasteful to make it.

Unexpectedly, while the adult population did not have a need for glycerin, Jiang Luoluo still had a group of hidden underage customers!

Xing moved to Jiang Luoluo's house, and the tribespeople who had been exchanging glycerin also found their way to Jiang Luoluo's house. Jiang Luoluo saw how they used it and then understood why they were consuming it so quickly.

The containers for glycerin are mostly small wooden buckets made by carpenters. Each bucket has an opening about the size of a palm, just big enough for a tribesman to put his whole hand in and then take it out to rub on the children.

Even ignoring the waste, this kind of usage... it's also unhygienic.

The people in the tribe don't like to wash their hands, and they often go out to work. Who knows how many kinds of bacteria their hands come into contact with? They just stick their hands in and take them out like that. How much dirt must be inside them!

Jiang Luoluo let out a silent scream.

In this situation, she was thankful that the tribe was wasting the glycerin and would soon need to replace it with new glycerin—otherwise, wouldn't that be like applying all sorts of bacteria to the child's body every day?

Unable to stand by and watch, Jiang Luoluo quickly pulled these tribesmen aside and demonstrated the correct way to apply the ointment.

First of all, wash your hands thoroughly with clean water!

Next, take a clean linen cloth, dampen it, and wipe the child's body clean!

Finally, pour the glycerin into your hand, a little at a time, and then gently apply it to the child's skin. Don't just slap it on with your big hands; can't you see the child's skin is already red?

Learn to gently, very gently, make circles, then lightly pat your skin... Be sure to be very gentle! Pat very gently!

Then, find a sturdy cap and seal the glycerin tightly! Don't leave the bottle opening exposed!

With the correct application and storage methods, the consumption of glycerin finally decreased, and Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

She also felt a lot of pressure every day dealing with the tribesmen who came to exchange glycerin. If she didn't have enough glycerin, it meant that a child would have to endure the discomfort of cracked skin from being bullied for several days. Just thinking about it was heartbreaking.

Of course, the most important thing is that the consumption of glycerin has decreased, and the food loss rate in the tribe has also decreased.

After all, the production of glycerin requires the actual use of food.

Given the previous consumption of glycerin, if it weren't for the children in the tribe, Chief Jing and the shaman would probably have had to stop the production of glycerin within a couple of days.

Who would waste food like that!

……

The hunting party has returned.

The haul wasn't great—in fact, normally, hunting teams shouldn't be out hunting at this time of year.

However, there was no other way. During the snow season, the tribe was attacked by wild beasts, and many tribesmen were forced to transform into beasts to participate in the battle. A large amount of food in the ice storage in the back mountain was consumed, and it was in urgent need of replenishment.

If it weren't for the fact that the carcasses of the wild animals that attacked the tribe could also be used as food, replenishing their supplies, the hunting party would probably have to set off to hunt before the snow season was even over.

Even so, it only delayed things a little longer, and they didn't even get to wait for the snow to melt.

However, these things are already commonplace for the tribe, and this time the problem is not even that serious, so the tribespeople are used to it.

When Ge returned with the hunting party and their prey, Jiang Luoluo was almost ready to leave the cave, though she would need to wear thicker clothes.

According to Jiang Luoluo's perception, the outdoor temperature during the day is probably around minus 20 degrees Celsius, and at night, without the sun, it may drop to minus 40 degrees Celsius.

Anyway, I can go out during the day now, instead of having to be completely covered up and needing a coat to carry me out.

However, Jiang Luoluo didn't like to go out during this time, since the snow outside hadn't completely melted yet. It would just melt a layer during the day when the sun was at its strongest, turning into snow water that would fall to the ground.

Then it freezes into a dense layer of ice underneath.

It's even more dangerous than when it's completely covered in snow.

But just because Jiang Luoluo doesn't go out doesn't mean that others won't come looking for her.

"Uh, what brings you here?" Jiang Luoluo asked with some surprise, looking at the boy in front of her, whose name she couldn't quite place, "Python" or "Crazy".

The boy's expression turned to surprise, then seamlessly switched to another: "You can talk?"

It's a python.

Jiang Luoluo said unhappily, "I was just unable to speak because of a previous attack of the poison."

The witch's herb-gathering team had already obtained the black-tailed bees, and after she ate them, she regained her ability to speak normally.

"Oh." Python didn't really care whether Jiang Luoluo was mute or not; in fact, it would be easier to communicate if she could speak.

"They say you can do a lot of things, that you're very capable. What have you done?"

He spoke very rudely, giving off an inexplicably familiar vibe.

"Why should I tell you?" Jiang Luoluo was very unhappy. The python didn't feel like a child at all; instead, it felt like a delinquent young man in his twenties who was still hanging around in society.

He disregards the rules, yet chooses to act within them for various reasons, revealing a certain contempt for them.

He could never be a real child.
