Although Bai Cunxiao asked Murong Yao to throw off his arms and do it, Murong Yao was not such a stupid person, he knew that if he went too far, he would be hit, so Murong Yao only hit those who manipulated the gold and silver market and undermined the stability of Datang's currency. ★ Miscellaneous *zhi* insects ★

As for those who manipulated the beef and mutton market, Murong Yao and Murong Ya deliberately indulged them, because Murong Ya and they themselves owned the pasture, and if the price of beef and mutton skyrocketed, for them, there would only be benefits and no harm.

So, these two men didn't fight the Jews, and they knew that if they were to exterminate all the Jews, who would give the food dealers a loan to keep the whole food market flowing? This is a problem.

Moreover, this is a big problem, and Tang Zhangwei also took this into account.

If the bureaucrats of Datang were to control the distribution of food, it would certainly make the market even more inefficient.

Despite this, various anecdotes about Murong Yao, the new king of grass, circulated among the Jewish merchants.

When it came to perfect shape and symmetry, she had to admit that it was a delicate handicraft of its own right, perhaps the most perfect of its kind she had ever seen. When the bowl was passed through the crowd, it aroused greater curiosity and interest in the gifts that Ella had brought. Everyone wonders if every gift is as beautiful and peculiar as this bowl. Tarut then stepped forward and gave Ella a big hug, then presented her with an ivory-handled flintstone knife in a red rawhide sheath with an intricate graphic carved into the scabbard, similar to the one on Dickie's belt. Ella pulled out her knife and immediately guessed that the blade might have been made by Wemez and that the handle had been carved by Renek.

What Ella brought to Tarut was a pile of dark fur. Tarut grinned, shook off the cape made of whole buffalo skin, and draped it over his shoulders. The thick mane and shoulder hair made the tall man appear even taller, and he appreciated the effect. Then he noticed the way it wrapped around his shoulders and the soft folds that hung down, and looked more closely at the smooth, soft underside of the warm cloak.

"Nyze! Check this out,"

He said, "Have you ever seen a softer bison hide?" And it's also very warm. I don't think I'll make anything out of it, including a snowsuit! That's how I wear it." Seeing that he liked it so much, Ella smiled. She was glad that her gift was so popular. Jodala was standing behind, looking at the other side of the crowd, and he was also pleased with Tarut's reaction. He had expected this, but he saw his prediction come true. He was naturally happy.

Nitsu hugged Ella warmly and then gave her a necklace. The necklace is made of spiral shells, separated by sawn hollow leg bones of an arctic fox with a large cave lion tooth in front of it. Ella holds it. Trooney helped her tie it up in the back.

Then she looked down at it in awe, and Ella held the lion's fangs in her hand, wondering to herself, how did they drill holes in its roots? Ella pushed the curtain in front of the bed aside. Take out a very large covered basket and place it at Nitz's feet. It looks normal. The grass used to weave the baskets is not stained, and there are no colorful geometric patterns and stylized patterns of birds and beasts on the sides and lids. But look closely. The woman noticed the ingenuity of the basket design and the intricate workmanship. She knows. It is impermeable and can be used as a rice basket. Nitsu lifted the lid to check. The whole camp let out an exclamation. The basket was divided into compartments made of pliable birch bark and filled with food. There are small hard apples, wild sweet and spicy carrots, peeled knotted starchy tuber roots, pitted dried cherries, dried green lily buds, round green milk beans dried in pods, dried mushrooms, dried green onion stalks, and some unnamed dried leaves and flakes. Looking at the gifts, Nitsu smiled warmly at her. It's a wonderful gift.

Next one is Tokina. Her welcoming hugs are also not lacking in warmth, but more formal. And the gift she gave to Ella, although not entirely made of carvings, also showed a proper sense of ceremony. The gift is an elegantly decorated small container carved out of wood in the shape of a small box with rounded corners. The box is carved with fish and a few shells glued to it. The overall design gives the impression that fish and aquatic plants are swimming in the water, which is lifelike. Lifting the lid of the box, Ella discovers the purpose of this such precious box, which is filled with salt.

She has an idea of the value of salt. When she grew up in a tribe near the Belém Sea, salt was readily available. And some fish also need to be salted with it, but in the interior, when she lived in the valley, she didn't have salt, and it took a long time for her to get used to it. The lion camp is farther from the sea than she and the valley. Salt, like seashells, needs to be transported over long distances, and Tuli gave her a whole box, which was a precious gift.

She was embarrassed when Ella brought out the gift for the female chieftain, and she hoped that Jodala's advice on what was appropriate was correct. The fur she picked was a snow leopard skin, which she practiced with Babe. In the winter of the hunt, it tried to shoot away a prey. She was just going to scare it away, but the growing cave lion had another idea. Just when a fight is about to take place. Ella shot a stone with a bullet belt to knock the smaller, but mature leopard unconscious, and then fired another shot to kill it. The gift was clearly unexpected, and Tuli's eyes revealed joy. But it wasn't until she couldn't resist the temptation to drape the rich, thick winter fur over her shoulders. Only then did he notice its unique qualities, which were the kind of qualities that Tarut had commented on. It's incredibly soft to the touch, almost incredible. The fur is usually stiffer than the rawhide. Essentially, fur can only be processed on one side with a scraper. The leather processed by the Mamuta method is more durable and stronger than Ella's. But not as soft and tough as her, she only uses fat to process it. Touched more than she expected, Toli decides to find out how to find Ella.

Wemez stepped forward with something wrapped in soft animal skin. She opened it and held her breath. It was a majestic dart head, just like the ones she admired so much. It glittered in the light of the fire, like a flat gem, but more precious than a gemstone. Her gift to him was a sturdy straw floor mat to sit on while he worked. Ella's basket and mat. Most of them do not have colorful patterns.
