Volume 2 Playing with the Tribes Chapter 169 Tribal Exchange Meeting (Scales Scale)
And Mizusawa, who had been babbling before, stood next to him without saying a word, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, afraid that the world would not be chaotic, as if he was enjoying a good show!
"Huh? What's the show? The leader of the Ding tribe seems to have said this, and there is a good show in front of him!. ”
Mizusawa muttered to himself, looking forward to a conflict between these tribes, the bigger the conflict, the better, so that he could fish in troubled waters and catch a big one, this is the Blackwater tribe's forte! The Black Water Tribe is the most powerful fisherman on the Black Water River, and this situation of the sandpiper and clam fighting on the Black Water River is the fisherman's favorite scene!
"Okay, in that case, let's make a tool, this tool is called the Balance Scale, which means a name given by God to mankind, which is something that my Ding tribe has inherited from a distant tribal inheritance, and can deal with disputes between your two tribes. But the ugly words are ahead, if there are still people who disagree with my fair verdict after I deal with it fairly, then don't blame me for being rude, expel him from the exchange meeting, and never use the items exchanged by the Ding tribe! ”
Ding Qi did not expect this to happen, but this incident came too timely, and he was ready to find an excuse to implement the system of weights and measures he was going to implement at a certain exchange meeting, and only when these were unified could social and economic development be better promoted.
Ding Qi used his authority and strong words to let everyone know what this celestial title was used for, and to clarify the fairness of the celestial title. This "impartial" attribute was necessary to lay the foundation for the later establishment of the authority of the Ding tribe and its various weights and measures.
Ding Qi had two rattan baskets, two ropes, and two wrist-thick straight sticks, and then he took a stone dagger hanging from the red stone's waist, and then cut a groove above the symmetrical ends of one of the sticks and below the middle. Ding Qi had known about the stone dagger on Chishi's body for a long time, and he also saw that he used it to cut meat, and it was relatively sharp among stone tools, which was a high-quality product, so he had long wanted to take it as a product.
To tell the truth, the stone tools of the Greystone tribe are very finely made, which has both cutting and grinding skills, which are much more powerful than the stone tools made by other tribes. When sharpening wood with this stone dagger, the sharp stone blade sharpens the sawdust into a flying and smooth incision, which is quickly cut into two suitable grooves.
Actually, Ding Qi had an urge to take out the bronze axe just now, but if you think about it, forget it, the strength of the tribe is not yet to the extent that it can face many large tribes, so it is better to be careful.
After the groove was cut, Ding Qi casually took the stone dagger into his arms, not caring at all about the action of the red stone on the side reaching out to take it back.
Tinch proceeded to tie the two ropes to each of the two rattan baskets, and then secured the other stick on the two stakes that had been erected before the exchange field. Then the first stick is placed on the second stick as a crossbar, and finally the rattan basket is hung in the grooves at both ends of the crossbar, and a simple balance is made. It's just that this name is a bit unbalanced now, and it is necessary to add some stones on the lighter side to make the two sides reach a balance.
Ding Qi made this simple scale, and explained the principle to everyone, which is nothing more than a balanced truth. When the weight on both sides is the same, the scale will be balanced, and whoever is heavy will fall, and whoever is light will rise. The principle is simple, and everyone understands it quickly, after making sure that the two leaders of Red Stone and Blue Tiger understand this principle and accept the justice of this scale, Ding Qi took a muntjac that had not been peeled from the hands of the people around him and put it into the rattan basket on the right.
Boom!
The rattan basket touched the ground with a loud sound.
"Just now I talked about how this scale works, and now after putting in a muntjac, the balance is broken, and the heavier side falls to the ground. Now I'm going to put some rocks in the light basket and you'll see what happens. ”
After saying that, Ding Qi motioned to put stones in the left basket, and at the same time pressed the wooden stick carrying the two rattan baskets with his hand to prevent it from falling.
One piece, no reaction.
Two pieces, no response yet.
Three, I feel that the rattan basket on the right seems to have risen a little.
Four, the right rattan basket rose a little and then fell again.
Five pieces, the right rattan basket slowly rises...
"Eh, it's rising~"
"Hey, why did it fall again?"
The people around me are also watching carefully and are fully engaged in this. The rattan basket on the left has just fallen, and its weight has been reached
It passes over the right, but not much, so the rattan basket on the right slowly rises and then slowly descends again.
"Do you understand? Which side is heavier now? ”
Ding Qi saw that everyone was immersed in this small experiment, so he simply became a science popularizer and explained the principle of the balance to everyone, and everyone listened to it with relish, and rushed to answer questions from time to time.
"That's right, now the rattan basket on the left is getting heavier, but it's falling slowly, which shows a problem, what's the problem? There is a difference in weight between the two, but not much, so that the two sides are the same, then I can take out the last stone that was put in and replace it with another smaller stone. ”
After Ding Qi finished speaking, the warehouse changed a stone and went in, but slowly the right side fell again.
"The right side is down again, which means that the right side is heavy again, so put some small stones on the left."
The barn slowly adds small stones until the sides are balanced and the rattan basket frame is no longer raised or lowered at the ends of the stick.
"It's flat, it's flat, it's flat, is it that the weight of these stones is as heavy as that muntjac?"
Akaishi put aside the unhappiness just now, attracted by the scene in front of him.
"That's right! You can all come up and feel the weight of the two rattan baskets and see if they weigh the same. ”
Everyone stepped forward to feel the weight of the rattan basket, and there were basically no objections.
Seeing that everyone had tried the same, Ding Qi asked Cang to empty the two rattan baskets, put the two man-sized power stones, that is, salt ore, that were used by the Force tribe for comparison, into the basket on the right, and then put all the crushed power stones that the Force tribe prepared for the red stone into the basket on the left.
A scene that surprised everyone happened!
I saw the rattan basket on the left slowly descending, and after the crossbar was flattened, it continued to slowly fall down until it touched the ground. This scene is truly astonishing!
Judging from the reaction of this scale, it is obvious that the power stones provided by the force tribe are heavier than the two power stones used for comparison. What does this mean, it shows that the Li tribe not only did not deceive everyone, but also gave Chishi some more generously.
Judge from above!
Everyone looked at the place where Chishi was standing, but there was still a figure led by Chishi, looking left and right, but they found a figure hiding behind a bush and refusing to come out.
Everyone let out a burst of laughter, and it seemed that this Akashi also realized that he was wrong to blame the Li tribe, but he was embarrassed to come out and apologize. However, after everyone laughed, the rock of the Greystone tribe stood up and apologized to the leader of the Blue Tiger with inter-tribal etiquette!
This made everyone take a look at Iwataka, but it was much stronger than the red stone who was a shrunken turtle.
Ding Qi took off the crossbar and put it on his shoulders as a pole, and as soon as he lowered his body, he hung the two rattan baskets on both ends of the pole, and stood up all the way to the waist and walked towards the rest area of the Graystone tribe with the two baskets on his shoulder.
When the people around saw it, another burst of exclamations sounded, and only Aragami would have all kinds of strange ideas! It is really shocking and admirable to use the scale just shown to carry the rattan basket, doesn't this tell everyone that you can carry two rattan baskets with a single wooden stick to transport more things?
The Blue Tiger Leader's eyes lit up again, and after breaking the power stones, he could transport more power stones in the way that Leader Ding now carried the rattan basket, and everyone carried a back basket, so how much more could they be transported! He was already starry in his eyes, so he hurriedly took two more steps, came to Ding Qi with his fat all over his body, took a breath and asked:
"Ding, Leader Ding, Aragami, what is this? I feel like I can pack a lot of stuff. ”
In fact, Ding Qi also had a whim, wanting to feel the feeling of being a flat shoulder when he was a child, but he didn't expect it to contribute to the advent of the flat dan. The Blue Tiger Leader asked, and he said directly:
"That's what you say? This is called the flat dan, and the ancestors of our Ding tribe used this tan basket to transport things. I will go back and teach you how to make some baskets and hang them on both ends of the flat pole. ”
Coming to the Graystone Tribe, Ding Qi returned the two large power stones to the Blue Tiger Leader, and gave the rest to the rock.
"Iwa, these are for you, do a good job! Okay, everyone is gone, the exchange meeting is over, hurry up and go back to their respective homes, and find their own mothers! Ha ha! ”
Ding Qi was so happy in his heart that he couldn't help humming a Chinese song:
"Ping Ping, such a smart Chinese, such a beautiful Chinese language. Flat shoulder, wide bench, long bench
, the flat arm wants to be tied to the bench, the bench does not let the flat arm be tied to the bench, the flat arm is tied to the bench, the bench does not let the flat arm be tied to the bench, in the end the flat arm is wide or the bench is long! ”
Ding Qi's figure gradually disappeared behind the crowd, but he didn't notice that Mizusawa was staring at his back fiercely, his eyes were full of some unwillingness, and there was a trace of ruthlessness and revenge in it. Seeing Ding Qi return to the rest area of the Ding tribe, he couldn't help but sneer:
"Hmph, let's wait and see!"
With that, he walked to his tribe's rest area. But before he could take a few steps, a black shadow fell from the sky, Mizusawa didn't pay attention, he was smashed firmly, he fell to the ground, followed by an eagle's cry in the air, circled around and left the sky above the exchange ground.
"Who? Who hit me with something? ”
Mizusawa stood up from the ground, first looked around, and then looked at the black shadow on the ground, which turned out to be a black rabbit. Looking at the air again, except for the eagle chirping just now, there is not a single bird feather.
"It's weird, who's going to hit me with a rabbit. If you can't figure it out, you don't want to, the rabbit sent to the door for nothing, roasted! ”
This Mizusawa was indeed a heartless master, and in an instant he returned to a stunned state, carrying the rabbit back to his shack, throwing it into the fire, and waiting for the rabbit to be cooked.
"Alas! The food cooked by the Ding tribe is fragrant! Doesn't it taste better? ”
Mizusawa muttered a few words, and a line of saliva slid down the corners of his mouth, not crystal at all!
That night, a grand bonfire was held at the exchange venue, and Ding Qi asked people to make more than a dozen spotted deer to barbecue on the fire, as long as the participants could eat and drink at will, and even the nearly 100 slaves exchanged to the Ding tribe were divided into two male deer, which was enough for them to eat very full. This can't help but make them sigh, but it is much better than eating in the original tribe, is it so good that the slaves of the Dangding tribe are so good?
However, the deputy leader of the Blackwater tribe, Mizuzawa, was sitting outside a bonfire, looking at the roast venison in front of him and swallowing his saliva, but he covered his stomach with a constipated face, and complained in the mantra of the Ding tribe:
"Kao, why didn't you say that there was barbecue earlier, I was eaten by a rabbit, and now I can't even fill in a little meat! Depressed! ”
There are people from all tribes participating in the bonfire, but most of them are young men and women, and even a dozen young women from the Blackwater tribe are standing by the bonfire and dancing courtship dances, venting their energy and sweat arbitrarily, and constantly sending courtship signals to the men they like. Among them, the men who are favored by the girls are mostly hunters of the Ding tribe.
As the second only person in this exchange meeting, Cang has always attracted the attention of men and women of various tribes. Men see him as a courtship competitor, while women see him as a courtship.
No, at the beginning of the courtship dance, a bunch of men and women surrounded in front of the warehouse, causing the warehouse to be unable to get out of the body to dance.
The men and women of the primitive society were unrestrained, cheerful or thick-skinned people, the men were bare-skinned, and the women were only wrapped in a strip of animal skin on their chests, sweating sideways, so that the skin covered with black hairs was shining under the light of the bonfire. Even people who are as thin as wood can't help but show their muscles in front of the object of their affection, this is a group of men surrounded by hormones, and women who have broken their brains by childbirth.
The woman wrapped in animal skin kept touching the warehouse with her body, her limbs were bold, her eyes were coquettish, and even some women danced the courtship dance even more crazy, wild bees and butterflies, showing her plump breasts and fat buttocks. In primitive times, this was the only criterion for good fertility!
Women are going crazy, men are completely crazy. The courtship partner he liked didn't feel anything about himself, and he was all revolving around the man from the Ding tribe in front of him, how could he let them endure it! Even a man can't bear this breath, but when he sees the team members around him, the men who can't bear this breath can only hold back. Look at each other's thick arms and legs, and then look at your own thin hands and feet, think about it, or bear with it! Maybe some of them will slip through the net!
The women continued to signal to the warehouse, but our warehouse did not respond to them at all, his eyes were always on a young woman who was a little cowering on the sidelines, and even tried to get closer to the woman, but was blocked by the group of wolf-like women around him, as if he did not dedicate himself tonight, he might not be able to pass their "heroic pass"!
