Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

Chapter 168 Making a Cloak for the Snowman

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuyu turned to look at his own body and, sure enough, not a trace of his original fur color could be seen.

He calmly and gently shook his body, and with a slight exertion of his limbs, large clumps of snow fell off his body, instantly revealing his glossy natural fur. His movements were composed and elegant, displaying the demeanor of a mountain lord.

Tang Li also raised her hand to brush the snowflakes off her body, her gaze falling on the thick snow piled up around the snowman. A sly glint flashed in her eyes, and a smile curled at the corner of her lips: "Hahaha, now that's perfect, all the materials for repairing the snow platform are ready!"

She turned to the crowd that had gathered around her and pointed to the snow platform that Wang Yuyu had built earlier, suggesting, "Look at this platform, it's really ugly. How about we fix it together?"

Everyone looked in the direction she was pointing and nodded earnestly in agreement.

"It's really ugly. It only has a slope on one side, making it look crooked and asymmetrical. It looks like it's mutated."

Zhu Ziyi stepped forward, examined the work, and offered her unvarnished critique, her tone full of disdain: "Who put this together? They have absolutely no artistic talent; it's so perfunctory!"

"Roar!" Wang Yuyu immediately became displeased, letting out a low growl at Zhu Ziyi. His amber eyes were filled with displeasure, and he was indignant: "I built this! What? You're not happy about it?"

"If you think it's ugly, then don't look! I only have claws, no hands, and it's already pretty good that I managed to put together something like this. You still dare to nitpick!"

When everyone saw Wang Yuyu's strong reaction, they suddenly realized what was going on and quickly turned their heads away, their shoulders tense and their faces turning red from trying not to laugh.

Nobody wants to offend this vengeful and arrogant Siberian tiger.

Tang Li quickly reached out and ruffled Wang Yuyu's hair, soothingly saying, "Alright, alright, don't be angry. I'll 'tame' her for you later!"

Then, he loudly praised to the crowd, "The fact that we can build such a secure job with our bare hands is already amazing, isn't it?"

As she spoke, she kept giving Zhu Ziyi meaningful glances, signaling her to apologize quickly.

Zhu Ziyi was also afraid that Wang Yuyu would actually rush over and bite her or scratch her, so she quickly put away her disgusted expression and smiled ingratiatingly, "Yes, yes, yes! We can build our iron rice bowls so well even with our claws, it's simply amazing!"

"I misspoke, it's my fault, it's my fault!"

"Our secure job is the smartest and most powerful tiger in the world!"

Zhu Ziyi's tone was exaggerated yet sincere, almost as if she were about to bow.

"Of course!" Wang Yuyu was so flattered that his tail was practically wagging in the air. His fur was full of pride, his head was held high, and his steps were light as a feather. His anger from before had vanished in an instant.

Tang Li and Zhu Ziyi exchanged a glance, seeing smiles and relief in each other's eyes. They had finally managed to cheer up this ancestor.

Fearing that someone might say something wrong and upset Wang Yuyu, Tang Li quickly changed the subject: "How about we fix a cape for the snowman? We can also modify this platform and build another one on the other side. It's not a big project, and we can get it done quickly."

"Wipe the shoulders wider so that you can lie on them comfortably and safely when you're sunbathing or sleeping."

"Okay!" Everyone agreed in unison, rubbing their hands together in anticipation of the challenge.

"Let's get started!" Tang Li clapped her hands with a smile and said, "I've already prepared the shovels, they're in the little wooden hut with the iron rice bowl, go get them."

Zhu Ziyi instantly saw through her little scheme and looked at Tang Li with a half-smile: "Oh, Tang, so you were waiting for us here?"

"They called us over to play in the snow this morning, weren't they just planning to use us as free labor?"

"Hehe!" Tang Li scratched her head and chuckled foolishly, pretending to be clueless. "Sister Ziyi, what are you saying? I just think it's too boring for a guy with a stable job like Tiger, so I genuinely invited you guys to come and keep him company!"

Zhu Ziyi shook her head helplessly, then turned to the crowd and shouted, "What are you all standing there for? Are you waiting for Xiao Tang to unleash a tiger and bite us?"

"Hurry up and get to work! It's getting dark, the sooner we finish, the sooner we can leave!"

With that, he took the lead and walked towards the cabin.

Seeing the still smug tiger at Tang Li's feet, everyone didn't dare to delay and quickly followed Zhu Ziyi to get the tools.

Before long, the sounds of shovels clearing and piling snow filled the air. Everyone had a clear division of labor and there was no chaos at all.

Looking at the group of people working diligently beside the snowman from the wall, Wang Weiguo glanced at Tang Li, who was hiding behind a snowdrift not far away, holding Wang Yuyu as a supervisor, and couldn't help but laugh: "See, I told you, these kids have been sold out by Tang Li, and they still have to count the money for her."

"This was originally her job to repair the snow platform for the 'iron rice bowl' (a government employee), but now she's pushed it all onto others and is enjoying a peaceful life."

Uncle Zhang laughed heartily, his tone full of admiration, "Little Tang is really quick-witted! No wonder she's so keen on working with people like her; birds of a feather flock together!"

Wang Weiguo nodded in agreement, his gaze falling on Tang Li, and praised, "Little Tang is indeed a clever child. There are so many tigers in the park, and she has tricked every single one of them, and in the end, she has subdued them all."

He paused, then chuckled, "He's just a bit skinny and small, looks like a teenager, not very intimidating!"

In the snow, Tang Li sat on a snowdrift, stroking the tiger's head while occasionally glancing up to remind everyone, "Make this wider" and "Make that pile neater."

Wang Yuyu nestled obediently in her arms, its tail gently sweeping the snow, looking every bit like a responsible supervisor.

Tang Li stroked the tiger's head for a while, then gently played with its thick paw pads, her fingers brushing against the furry tips, and whispered, "Iron Rice Bowl, you haven't eaten for two days. Do you want me to get you some of your paw pads to tide you over?"

"Let's get through tonight first, and we'll bring you fresh meat tomorrow."

Wang Yuyu subconsciously shook her stomach, secretly calculating: This morning I ate all the leftover meat that I hid in the snowdrift yesterday, so I'm not too hungry now, and I can hold out until tomorrow morning.

But then I thought, if I pressed the button early in the morning to wake Tang Li up and feed her, she would definitely be unhappy, given her personality.

Let's listen to her and eat something to tide us over first, then we can have fresh meat tomorrow morning. That way, we can be safe on both ends.

After figuring it out, he immediately nodded heavily to Tang Li, his amber eyes full of obedience.

Seeing this, Tang Li smiled and asked, "How much do you want to eat? Is five catties enough?"

"Five jin?" Wang Yuyu immediately shook her head, her heart filled with disgust. "Are you trying to fob me off? It's not even enough to fill a gap between my teeth!"

"Those ten jin?" Tang Li asked again.

Wang Yu tilted her head and thought for a moment. Ten catties was just enough to fill her stomach and wouldn't affect her ability to eat fresh meat tomorrow, so she slowly nodded.
