Chapter 10: Stories and Deals
Sometimes, human nature is cheap, and Lin Xi feels that prehistory is no exception. When seven or eight men from the tribe exchanged their noses and faces for more men with blue noses and swollen faces, the people who came and went around Ji Lin's shack finally disappeared. Of course, it may also be that it is dark, and they all go back to their huts to eat.
Lu Qiao and Youda's people came with the last ray of light on the horizon. Some of Ji Lin's people are almost full.
Lin Ji saw that there were not many people from Youda, so he clapped his hands and said, "Everyone hurry up and eat, wash the dishes and let them out, Qiao Huan, go and invite the leaders of the tribes to come over, and I will invite them to eat." ”
Lin Ji gave an order, and the people in the shack ate their food within three to five minutes, gave up their place in the shack, and then Mali washed the dishes and scalded them with boiling water.
This gathering was more crowded than the Gray Wolves, with nearly twenty tribes. The team is mainly led by middle-aged and elderly women. Lin Ji set up a few stumps as chairs by the fire, and the people of Youda sat in a row, and on each side sat a row of aunts and old ladies, one holding a wooden bowl and drinking soup, which had a fight with the old people's canteen in later generations.
The soup was just a little salt, and these people drank it cheerfully, and even praised the good taste.
Lin Ji took out the beef slices, fried them indiscriminately, and sprinkled a little salt, and the praise he got also made people blush.
Lin Ji saw that everyone had drunk and eaten, and it didn't matter if they were full or not, he stopped and picked up his bowl and instructed Qiao Huan: "Everyone is happy to eat, why don't you tell a story to everyone?" ”
The people of the Jilin tribe are now good at storytelling, and several big leaders are even better versed in this.
Qiao calmed down and said, "This one who cooks for you is our Qizi." His ability to roast with one hand was also taught by Chestnut God. Usually in the tribe, he rarely cooks, but today with the blessings of Lu Qiao and the leaders, we also ate a meal, this fried beef, we can eat it for the first time......"
A simple opening sentence made the atmosphere warm, and then there was the old routine, how miserable Ji Lin was before, how he was bullied by the gray wolf, and then after Lin Ji woke up, what efforts did he make, how many warriors are there now, how many territories, so as not to starve, etc.
In these stories, Joe is interspersed with the concept of weights and measures. At this time, it cannot be said that it is unified, but it can only be said that it is clear. Not everyone in the Jilin tribe can go to school with Lin Ji, so these stories will be interspersed with these to let everyone know. Now that I'm talking about it here, it can be regarded as letting people from other tribes know something.
When listening to Qiao Huan tell these stories, someone on the side quietly pulled Lin Ji, and Lin Ji saw that it was Bian Qing of Li Yi, or looking at the beef in the hands of the women like a foodie, so he gave him the clip in his bowl.
This man is as honest as Dunmu, and Lin Ji likes him quite a lot.
Bian Qing ate the beef and ate it with juice, and the women in the field listened attentively to the story.
Qiao Huan's story is not too detailed, and many things are just listed, but all kinds of novelties in it are enough for these women to open their eyes.
After listening to these stories, they knew what Lin Ji would do when he became Qizi, which also gave them an intuitive understanding of Lin Ji and the current Jilin tribe. Although they don't understand a lot of things, they don't understand much. But it doesn't prevent them from feeling that Lin Ji and Ji Lin are extraordinary.
After listening to the story, a woman turned her head and nodded to Lin Ji and said, "Qizi is profound, I was contemptuous before." I'm from the Ministry of Commerce, and I have some friendship with Daji, and Qizi is willing to exchange such good things for it, and I'm very excited. It's just that in the case of this Jijin, the two middle-aged men are still too tall. Can there be less? ”
The role of bronze is in front of them, and the wooden houses they are in now, and the wooden stakes they sit on are all made by cutting down bronzes. Without bronze tools, if these things were only made of stone tools, they might not be able to achieve this effect in three or five days. How long did Ji Lin's people take? It's about the time it takes to burn a fire.
It's all exciting. It's just that the price also makes people feel heartbroken.
Lin Ji looked over one by one, and found that everyone was looking at it, obviously they were all interested, Lin Ji thought for a while and said: "This thing is difficult to make, and there are not many of them, since everyone is familiar with each other, how about we buy a piece of Jijin and we send a piece of pottery?" ”
As soon as Lin Ji's words came out, a bunch of women buzzed, obviously satisfied with this concession. But the woman of Shang Yan still looked at Lin Ji like that, and did not make a sound. When the women saw this, they shut up again and looked over to the forest trails.
Lin Ji smiled and said, "A piece of pottery is basically the limit. You know, now we're trading two pottery for a man. ”
The crowd was a little disappointed.
After a while, Lin Ji said: "If you don't want to exchange a man, or you can give up a woman, it will be a man and a woman." ”
Lin Ji's proposal was immediately reprimanded: "It's okay to exchange men, but it's okay to exchange women, don't even think about it." ”
Women are the foundation of the tribe, and some women even have to get up and leave.
Lin Ji suppressed everyone: "Everyone listen to me first." When I say exchanging women, I ask for a young woman, preferably smart and capable. After that, she only worked in Ji Lin for five spring and autumn seasons, and if she was willing to return to her tribe in the future, she could go back. I don't know how that is? ”
When Lin Ji talked about young women, those women were even more dissatisfied, and they felt more and more that Lin Ji was delusional.
However, when I heard that I only had to work for five years, I didn't want to move when I stood again. If you just go to five springs and autumns, this matter can definitely be considered. Because this woman will still be her own in the future. They don't worry about what Lin Ji said if they are willing or not, their own women, how can they not want to go back to their tribe?
Moreover, the Jilin tribe has good conditions, and the past is almost equal to happiness, and it is not difficult to convince women to go in the past. It's a good deal.
Lin Ji seems to be at a loss in doing so, but it will be beneficial in the long run.
The young women who are coming with me now are all Caiyu who are generally more capable, and they are likely to become tribal leaders in the future. After staying in Ji Lin for five years, they will definitely be influenced by Ji Lin's living habits and rules, and learn some of the cultural cultivation knowledge that the forest is spreading. Five years later, when these people go back, these people will inevitably become people who are closer to Ji Lin, and at that time, it will basically be equivalent to Ji Lin's power expanding outward.
The woman jumped up at a speed disproportionate to her age, and said, "Then I want an axe, and I will exchange it for a man and a woman in my tribe." I'm going to pick out the pottery. ”
Lin Ji said: "I will also pick the people who are exchanged." Who else wants it in the back, there are not many of them, please line up and feed. ”
The scene spiraled out of control.
There are indeed not many bronzes that Lin Ji prepared to exchange out, only ten pieces. In fact, there are not many tribes that can afford it. Some small tribes with only thirty or forty people would not exchange two people for a bronze under any circumstances. Or they can afford it, but those people won't want it.
The crowd here was noisy, and Bian Qing saw that it was not interesting, and returned to the quiet Libi shack alone. Most of the people here have eaten it. But apparently they all tasteless.
Bian Qing's mouth was still full of grease, which was extremely eye-catching, and was soon seen by Yuzhu: "Where did you go to steal food?" ”
Bian Qing wiped his mouth, lowered his head and said, "It was given by Qizi." ”
"Oh? Do you like the Jilin tribe? Okay, go to someone, isn't the Jilin tribe exchanging something for a man, exchanging him for the Jilin tribe. When Yu Zhu heard about the Ji Lin tribe, he was angry.
After a few battles between the Jilin tribe in the evening, now that the witches have walked around here, it is obvious what the plan is. And just now, someone also saw the witch go to Ji Lin's shack to eat, which made him feel even more angry.
Because I don't know whether Ji Lin intended it or not, no one here came to invite.
But Yuzhu never expected that Bian Qing actually went and ate very refreshingly. Don't you like Ji Lin? I'll send you over and poison you together!"
Therefore, Bian Qing became the first Li bream man to exchange for something other than Human in recent years. Replaced with two notched pottery. Lin Ji was quite surprised.
It was a little late, and the men and women who had been exchanged were tied and pulled to Ji Lin's shack separately, and the ten bronzes were exchanged in less than half an hour. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The crowd dispersed. Lu Qiao, who left in the end, looked like he wanted to say something. She was hemorrhagic profusely, and directly gave Ji Lin five men and women. Of course, she didn't suffer a loss, and Lin Ji gave her a lot of extra things.
"They said that a herd of short-haired cattle came to the southeast, and tomorrow the children will go out to hunt cattle, will you go?" After hesitating for a long time, Lu Qiao said this.
Before the half-size swap, you have to go on a hunt to prove your ability. This event has been set for a long time. Although quite a few half-sized children are already here in the forest trails. But there is no reason to cancel the event.
"Cow?" Lin Ji's eyes lit up. I wanted to start domesticating for a long time, and cattle and sheep are the big ones in domestication.
"Definitely going for it!"
