TC Food
Send your new Villagers to Sheep or to Deer, depending on when your first Deer arrives.
Boar if no deer
If you have been unsuccessful at pushing in Deer, compensate by sending your new Villager to lure in your first Boar. Else, your new Villager should join the other 6 food gatherers under the Town Center.
Lumber Camp
Send your new Villager to build a Lumber Camp. It will be your only Lumber Camp for a long time, so find one where at least 6 Villagers can efficiently chop wood.

Tip: Boar luring
Now you will have the most Villagers collecting Food under your Town Center, so it is not efficient to collect Food from one Sheep. Luckily, it is still acceptable timing to lure in your first Boar with your 22nd Villager.
