517 - Purchase of fire
The patriarchs offered to buy it with currency, which was something that Ji Thief never expected, but he didn't expect that when would these patriarchs also open their minds?
Moreover, when he heard that these patriarchs said that they were not bad for money, the thief almost didn't have a good time.
He looked at the patriarchs who were in a hurry to stop Ah Niu, and said in his heart that it seems that these old brothers still have a lot of money in their hands, and even the small word "not bad money" has been dragged out.
So, Ji Thief pretended to hesitate on his face: "However, we have such a close relationship and we still want you to buy it and spread it, if it doesn't become some fire folds, I am reluctant to give them, and I don't sound good." โ
The thief deliberately said this to the patriarchs.
Almost as the thief expected, when he said this, one of these patriarchs was counted as one, and they all said: "What's not to hear? Warriors, the vast mountain range is just our twelve tribes, all of them are their own people, and everyone can't always let you suffer, right? We have already taken a great advantage in building a house." โ
The other patriarchs also followed suit, and in the end, if the thief didn't agree, he would become a big villain.
"It's because we're not outsiders that I don't want money to give to you. If it had been someone else, I would have kicked them out a long time ago. Ji Thief said deliberately.
"Warrior, what you said is not right, we are all our own people, how can we always let our own people suffer? The wise man among the patriarchs, the Patriarch Gaoshan said.
Ji Thief thought about it when he heard this, and said in his heart that if he was polite, it would be a bit pretending, so he nodded with an embarrassed face and said: "I will accept the kindness of a few old brothers, so let's use currency to trade?"
When all the patriarchs heard this, they were relieved, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes." โ
Ji Thief looked back at Ah Niu: "What is the price of our fire excerpts?"
Ah Niu was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that the fire folds in the tribe were not all supplied for free? When did you set the price?
But seeing that the thief was glaring at him, he hurriedly understood and said, "One hundred and fifty currencies." โ
The other patriarchs couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this, and said in their hearts that it was so high, this is the difference of fifty coins to buy a prey.
But after thinking about it, it is normal to be so high, after all, there is no tribe in the large mountain range that understands fire except for the Lihuo tribe.
Fire is a good thing, you can use it to cook food, and you can use it to keep warm.
When I thought that I would never have to eat raw food in the future, and that I could only run to the fire to rub my food when I was hungry, everyone couldn't help but feel a little happy.
At this time, Ji Thief spoke again: "One hundred and five is too high, they are all their own people, one hundred coins, how about it?"
When the patriarchs heard this, they were eager to hug the thief's thigh and say Good man, this time he cut fifty coins, can you still find someone who is more honest than the thief?
The patriarchs thought one after another.
After talking about the price of the fire excerpt, Ji Thief sat here, tapping the table with his hand, waiting for Ah Niu to answer.
However, for a long time, Ah Niu did not move.
In the end, the beast blood patriarch, who was still a little impulsive, couldn't help but ask, "That, warrior, don't you let Ah Niu go to get the fire fold?"
Ji Thief: "ยทยทยท"
Glancing back at the honest man Ah Niu, the thief was a little speechless, if Usma or Ah Zai were here, he would have grabbed it after he finished talking about the price of one hundred.
When the time comes, these patriarchs will be embarrassed and will raise the price.
You know, the intended target of the thief is about one hundred and twelve, and now he has earned twenty dollars less, alas, what can he say?
But then again, this fire fold is not a very expensive thing, it can be sold for a hundred coins is already very high, and the reason why other patriarchs will buy it is because this thing is only available in the Lihuo tribe.
Although the fire folds of Lihuo are similar to those seen in the TV series, this thing is not made of rolling paper, after all, Ji Thief does not have that condition.
He simply dried a fallen leaf called a fluffy leaf, then added some flammable pine resin, mixed it with crushed charcoal, rolled it up into a stick, lit it out, and covered it with a breathable clay lid.
To use it, just remove the lid and blow hard.
This point is still somewhat similar to the fire excerpts of later generations.
"That Ah Niu, you go to the logistics department and get the fire fold. Ji Thief said.
Ah Niu nodded and turned around.
After he left, the Beast Blood Patriarch couldn't help but ask Ji Thief, "Warrior, there is something I want to ask you. โ
"Brother Beast Blood, just say it directly, we don't need to be so polite. โ
The Beast Blood Patriarch thought for a moment and asked Ji Thief, "If it's this fire fold, what is it, can it only be used once?"
The question asked by the beast blood is the key, what kind of people may not care, but how many times it can be used is a matter of their relationship.
If you buy back a fire fold that can only be used once for 100 yuan, isn't it a big loss?
Seeing that all the patriarchs looked expectant, Ji Thief smiled: "If a good fire fold is used, it will take about three to four days for normal use, after all, if you want to ensure that they don't extinguish themselves, you have to let them continue to burn, three or four days, which is basically their limit." After the patriarchs have brought back the fire fold, they can open the lid on it, so that it will not be extinguished in the middle. โ
The patriarchs were a little relieved when they heard that it could be used for three or four days at first, but when they heard that the fire fold would extinguish on its own, they couldn't recognize it and were surprised: "Will this still extinguish itself?"
Ji Thief nodded: "Of course." However, under normal circumstances, as long as it does not get wet and does not drop the fire on it, it is still fine. After all, fire is not so easy to control. โ
When all the patriarchs heard this, they all reasoned in their hearts, and they all nodded their heads, indicating that they remembered clearly.
It's just that everyone doesn't understand why the lid on it is opened.
In this regard, the thief has no choice, and he can't tell everyone that there is no air, and the fire cannot burn.
For about twenty minutes, Ah Niu took a few people from the logistics department and brought the fire fold back.
They placed the rattan basket containing the fire fold on the table, and the thief took out one, opened the lid, puffed out his mouth and blew at the faintly bright fire on it, and then, seeing only that, a flame the size of a thumb's belly immediately burned.
Afterwards, Ji Thief held the burning fire fold and looked at everyone with a smile: "When you want to use fire, you only need to blow it according to the method I just did, it's as simple as that." โ
For a while, all the patriarchs cheered: "It's amazing! I'll try it too." โ
So saying, they took out the fire fold from the rattan basket, opened the lid, and blew hard.
When the flames jumped up, these patriarchs couldn't help but praise one by one.
It turns out that it is so easy to make a fire.
"This is my improved way of taking fire, compared to the previous troublesome fire process, this method is much simpler and more convenient, but it is a little troublesome when making fire folds. โ
Seeing the expressions on the faces of the patriarchs, the thief was afraid that they would regret it, so he hurriedly said, and at the same time, he didn't forget to buy a wave of misery.
The patriarchs are not the ones who rebelled, besides, this thing is only available in the Lihuo tribe, even if they regret it, there is nowhere else to find it.
"That warrior, how can this thing be extinguished?" the beast blood patriarch scratched his head and asked Ji Thief while holding up the fire fold in his hand.
Ji Thief sighed: "It's simple. โ
As he spoke, Ji Thief picked up the lid made of clay, blocked the mouth of the lid with his index finger, buckled the fire fold, and said, "It's that easy." โ
Immediately, the thief took off the lid, and the fire was extinguished, only the fire was still flashing.
Seeing this, the patriarchs were overjoyed and tried their own attempts.
The thief hugged his arms and looked at everyone with a smile in his heart.
"Warrior, how about I buy ten first?" Patriarch Lin turned his head and suddenly asked Ji Thief.
Saying that, for fear that the thief would misunderstand his stinginess, he hurriedly said: "I'll buy these first and take them back to try to use, next time, I will definitely buy more." โ
Ji Thief nodded and smiled: "Of course, how much to buy this is your own preference, brother." โ
When the other patriarchs heard this, they said, "We will also buy ten." โ
