Chapter 83

Once Ophelia confirmed that three-story stone houses could be built, she felt much more at ease. There was no major work scheduled for today, so Ophelia sent a few males up the mountain to quarry stone. Since Laxus was here, she didn't let him idle, either. Since she had promised to provide meals, they would have to cook in large pots. She had Laxus find stones and, using modern iron pots as a reference, carve out four identical ones. One was for boiling water, two were for cooking rice, and the last was reserved for stir-frying stews later. After Taylor finished allocating land to the clan members, he headed into the forest to hunt, while the other Fu Clan members discussed their tasks and split up between hunting and stone quarrying. Everyone worked with great enthusiasm. By midday, Taylor returned with two goats, and the elderly males also came back carrying stone blocks. The stone pots had long since been chiseled out, and water had already been added to steam the rice.
