Volume 2 Playing with the Tribe Chapter 338 The Willing Economy
Zhuang saw that the other party was a little greedy, and hurriedly glanced at the green centipede. Qing Wu had already seen the other party's performance, smiled slightly, took another pottery bowl from the side, filled some meat and soup and handed it to the elephant trunk.
"Come on, this one is a little hot, try it when it cools."
Elephant Trunk looked at the bowl of meat in front of him, and the rich aroma of meat rushed straight to the end of his nose, and his saliva couldn't stop dripping. Quickly swallowed the saliva back, picked up the bowl and gently put it to his mouth, blew like a witch, and slowly drank a small sip.
"Ahh It's hot! ”
As soon as the elephant trunk drank a little, it was so hot that he screamed and almost threw the pottery bowl in his hand.
"I told you to drink it later, it's hot, and you'll drink it slowly in the future, hehe!"
Qing Wu sneered, Ben didn't want to remind him too much, and it was nothing to let the other party suffer a little guilt. Didn't he and the doctor not listen to Zhuang's words before, and they were eager to drink soup and eat meat, and they should be burned.
The elephant trunk smashes the mouth, and it is not impossible to put it in the pottery bowl, so it is not embarrassing. Fortunately, the Witch Doctor helped him out of the siege and handed him a relatively large leaf. But after the siege was lifted, the elephant trunk was stunned again, what are you doing with this leaf?
Soon, the sorcerer was fanning the bowl with the leaves in his hand, and the heat quickly dissipated.
The elephant trunk who figured it out smiled, and regardless of the people around him laughing at him, he quickly picked up the leaf and began to fan. It didn't take long for the broth to cool down. The elephant trunk did not use chopsticks, and directly reached out to pick up a piece of meat and threw it into his mouth, and the strong smell of meat instantly filled his entire mouth, directly making the elephant trunk crash, and even forgot to eat.
"Woo~"
Elephant Trunk cried, like a child.
Zhuang was surprised on the spot, he had seen too many people eat meat cooked in a clay pot for the first time, and they didn't cry like the other party.
"Woo~Woo~Too ...... It's so delicious! How can this meat be so delicious? It's much better than barbecue, I don't know how to describe it, I just know that I'm going to eat boiled meat every day in the future. ”
Elephant Trunk hurriedly brought the bowl over and slowly took a sip of the broth.
"Ahh It's delicious! I feel like I'm about to fly, and I'm full of power, and I feel like I'm very strong at the moment! ”
Zhuang Xin said that of course you feel strong, but there is an upgraded version of the power stone in it, and it is strange if you are not strong.
"Brother Elephant Trunk, this boiled meat is delicious, not only because it is cooked in a clay pot, but also because it contains coarse salt, something better than forcestone. With it, the soup and meat become delicious. ”
The green centipede hurriedly explained, and there was a sense of superiority in his tone, as if he knew how great a coarse salt was. Of course, in the current state of social production, we can know that coarse salt is indeed a fork!
"Coarse salt? What's that? ”
As if he knew that he would ask such a question, the green snake had already taken out a small bag of coarse salt, opened his mouth for the other party to see, and took out a small grain of coarse salt and put it in the elephant's trunk hand for him to taste.
Seeing this white-flowered, yellowish-white, granular object, some of which resemble sand and gravel is dazzlingly white. Stick out your tongue and put that coarse salt into your mouth, and the salty taste is immediately transmitted to the brain, giving yourself a pleasant and yearning experience all over your body, which is so comfortable!
"Is this coarse salt too much? How does the exchange work? ”
The elephant trunk has a keen sense of smell, and it immediately sees the crux of the problem, and it seems that the doctor witch gave him this name is also prescient.
"There aren't many of them at the moment, so I can give you a little to take back and give your leaders and witches a taste. In the future, our Ding tribe will regularly send a large number of materials to the Centipede tribe, including pottery, coarse salt, and all kinds of tools. And for these materials, you can use animal skins, slaves, your tribe's specialties, surplus meat, plant seeds, etc., and of course, some colored stones that you don't know the purpose of can also be taken and seen. ”
Zhuang took over the conversation and replied directly to Elephant Trunk. He could see that the people of this southern tribe in the mountains should have a certain status in the tribe, and through him, the influence of the Ding tribe could also be rapidly expanded.
After speaking, he took a small packet of coarse salt from the mink and handed it to the other party. This kind of animal skin bag will be carried by each of them, it is a coincidence that they sew it for everyone, the stitches are fine, and there is no need to worry about the coarse salt spilling.
The elephant's trunk opened the small animal skin pouch as if it had been treasured, and sniffed it in front of its nose, as if it could absorb the power of coarse salt from it.
"Here, this is a clay pot, two clay bowls, you take it back and try to use it, I think the older people of your tribe must like the broth cooked in this clay pot." Stay will let people teach you how to use and precautions, the number is a little small, and you can only come to the centipede tribe to exchange in the future. This is a free gift to your tribe, you must know that this clay pot was once able to exchange for the treasure of three women, and it is very precious. ”
Zhuang motioned to the golden hook to hand a set of pottery to the elephant trunk and give it to the other party for free, but also let him know the preciousness of this thing, so as not to take the pottery seriously. But looking at the elephant's trunk, it doesn't look like that kind of person. Zhuang's approach seems to be a loss, but it is actually of great benefit to his own side. In the words of the chieftain, this is called the economy of giving. I don't know what the economy means, but they understand it if they have to give up. It's like catching a wild beast, you always have to put some bait, so that the animal can be deceived and caught by itself, this is the same reason!
That night, the leader of the green centipede organized a grand bonfire party, and roasted ten horned deer to entertain guests from afar, and the people in the south of the mountain were considered to be stained. All the boys ran into the arena and danced with the women of the Centipede tribe. Especially in the courtship dance, all those women flocked to the side of the Ding tribe, rushing to ask these men to be their courtship partners that night, which made the people in the south of the mountain envious.
But there's no way, look at your small body, and then look at other people's strong figures, you can't compare! Let's focus on the barbecue in front of you, but the familiar sound around me is really a kind of torture and humiliation to listen to in my ears at the moment! Women are not interested in themselves, so they can't go up and grab it. Besides, they may not be able to grab it, but the treatment of antelopes is a reminder that they have been beaten like that!
Damn, I'm going to eat it from now on, and I'm going to eat like that!
The next day, Zhuang from the Ding tribe and Elephant Trunk from the southern tribe of the mountains waved goodbye to the green centipede leader of the Centipede tribe, and each took his own people back to his tribe. Although Elephant Trunk has not completed the task assigned to him by the leader, he has already established a good relationship with the Ding tribe, which is half the success, and there will be opportunities to deepen exchanges and cooperation in the future.
As for Zhuang, this trip between Shannan and Xia tribes was a bit unexpected, but I didn't expect the hatred between the two tribes to be so deep, even those small tribes suffered from Chiyu, and they attacked each other together, including their own tribes that had nothing to do with each other.
Fortunately, the centipede tribe he met accepted him because of the relationship between him and the scorpion tribe before, and it can be regarded as publicizing the Ding tribe. As for the name of the Aragami, Zhuang has not announced it for the time being according to the leader's arrangement. When you come back next time, you can walk around as a Ding tribe and collect supplies.
Of course, I have other harvests, such as freshly harvested rice seeds, and brown round seeds that are unknown but have yellow flowers. Moreover, the centipede tribe doctor witch also took out part of his treasured centipede powder and handed it back to himself, saying that it can relieve pain and reduce swelling, which is a specialty of the centipede tribe.
Speaking of Tinch, he was at this time driving the herd of cattle and donkeys with a group of men in the direction of the Valley of the Wild Horses. Everyone was tired, and even Little Cutie and Little Gold, who were flying in the air, didn't want to run on the ground or fly in the air, so they crowded into Xiaohong's wide horse to rest, and pushed Ding Qi to the back of a donkey.
made Ding Qi cry and laugh, and everyone also laughed, and when he stopped to rest, he would always tease him about Ding Qi riding a donkey. Ding Qi is also happy to make them laugh at themselves, which can be regarded as an active and lively atmosphere!
It's just that the donkey's performance is a little embarrassing, its stubborn temper has come up again, and even Xiaohong is a little unfriendly by her side. Sitting on its back and not leaving, holding it without leaving, tickling it and not leaving, Ding Qi was so angry that he really wanted to kick it away.
There's no way to take it, this stupid donkey has a stubborn temper, and no one can do anything. Even if a few people come up to pull it, it will crouch on the ground on all fours and kick it still, and it won't pull even if you pull it. Everyone is trying to figure out how to solve it. Tu took a handful of grass from the side and handed it to its mouth, but the donkey actually stretched out his mouth and ate the grass three or two times.
Ding Qi's eyes lit up suddenly, how could he forget about this?
Immediately cut a handful of fat grass with a knife, tied it with a rope, and hung it on the front of a long branch. Tinch took the branch and sat on the donkey's back, stretched the grass in front of the donkey, and began to tease.
The donkey is very wronged in his heart, he is so tired after such a long journey! It's not easy to cheat heads, rush to the front line every day, don't say anything tired, but it's sad to keep repeating such things! Not to mention that the human who caught himself still wanted to ride on his back, so how could the donkey endure it?
Anyway, everyone knows that donkeys have a stubborn temper, and I'm really stubborn with you! See what you can do with me, it's useless to tickle. Every day, he gave the big red horse and the big cow a good meal, but he just threw us aside, and didn't even ask us if we were full or not.
But the guy named Tu just now was good, and he knew that I wanted to eat grass, so he immediately sent it over. Well? Why is there still a handful of grass dangling there in front of me, then I'm not welcome, destroy it!
Unfortunately, the donkey stretched its neck, but it couldn't reach it. If you want to eat something delicious, you can't help it, just take two steps forward. Hey! I go, it goes, on purpose, right? I run, it runs? Okay, see how I catch up with you and eat you.
The head donkey ran up, and Ding Qi on the donkey's back laughed happily, and the people around him laughed happily.
Tu followed aside, holding back a smile and asked:
"Chief, why is this donkey so stupid, you can trick it into running forward with a small bundle of grass, I really admire you! You're not going to use another spell, are you? ”
Ding Qi laughed when he heard this, and with the bump on the donkey's back, his body rose and fell, and he turned his head to Tu and said:
"I didn't cast a spell, like you said, because this donkey is so stupid! It's a stupid donkey! Still a stubborn donkey! ”
At this point, the names of stupid donkey and stubborn donkey became popular in the primitive world!
In the afternoon of the same day, Ding Qi and his party came to a valley about a day's journey from the Gaocao Plain. It is surrounded by lush bamboo forests, and a small stream that is not very wide meanders through it, nourishing a large meadow, which is a beautiful place. All kinds of forest deer, antelopes and small animals wander around in search of food, and predators are seen passing by for the time being.
Seeing that it was getting late, Ding Qi decided to spend the night here.
Half an hour later, Ling patted her back and walked over, looking uncomfortable.
"Chief, my back and neck have been very sore lately, and I don't know what's going on, which affects me to draw my bow and shoot arrows. I just shot a deer, and my head dropped a lot, can you help me take a look? ”
Of course, Ding Qi would not refuse, and directly motioned for him to lie on the animal skin cushion that had been laid out next to him, and the clouds around him also came over to check. Watching the leader heal is a great opportunity to learn.
