Chapter Ninety-Nine: Tea

Kelly had a lot of fun at the base, especially since there was a "market" here.

This "market" didn't even know about Qin Tian, because it developed during the time that Qin Tian was away...... In fact, this is not a formal "market", but after there are more people in the base, there will naturally be people lacking this, some people lacking that, and primitive tribes have a tradition of bartering, so it didn't take long for the center of the residence to become a "market".

There are many things used for trading in the "market", such as ornaments or utensils woven from needle grass, animal bones, feathers, or other unknown plants, and the primitive tribes are very good at this.

There are also crops...... After harvesting, the crops in the base will be distributed to farmers according to their work, so that more people can be motivated to work harder.

"What is this?" Kelly asked, holding a tooth pendant.

"It's crocodile teeth, ma'am!" The owner of the pendant is a teenager: "Bring it to you and bring you good luck!" ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true!" The child replied solemnly: "I asked the wizard to cast a spell on it, and the enemy will not be able to hurt you with it!" ”

Kelly put the pendant around her neck and turned her head to ask Qin Tian, "Is it beautiful?" ”

"Yes, it's beautiful!" Qin Tian nodded.

In fact, it felt that this pendant didn't match Kelly at all, because Qin Tian couldn't imagine Kelly walking into the elevator or sitting in the office with this tooth and a folder.

However, of course Qin Tian would not sweep Kai Li's prosperity.

"Good!" Kelly asked, "How much?" ”

The child was quite clever, he looked at Qin Tian behind Kelly, and replied, "No, I don't want money, ma'am, I'll give it to you!" ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true!"

"No, no, I can't ask for your stuff for nothing!" As she spoke, Kelly took off the earring on one of her ears and handed it over: "So, this is what I gave you!" ”

The child couldn't help but be stunned, it was a diamond earring, worth at least a few thousand dollars.

This time, Kelly was in big trouble, and the children who were selling things around them hula surrounded her, scrambling to "give" things to Kelly...... It's just that Kelly doesn't think it's trouble, but looks at their stuff with pleasure.

Soon, all of Kelly's jewelry was gone, replaced by a tooth pendant, a straw hat, a wooden bowl, and even a homemade bow and arrow.

"Hey, Qin!" Kelly happily raised the bow and arrow in her hand and said, "Do you think I look like an Indian?" ”

"This is Africa, Kelly!" Qin Tian said with a smile: "Indians are in America!" ”

"It's all the same!" Kelly pulled the bow and arrow in her hand and said with some eagerness, "Can we go hunting?" ”

"With your bow and arrows?"

"Can't you?"

Qin Tian rolled his eyes: "Of course you can, Kaili!" But you'll have to catch your prey first, tie it to a stake, and then use your bow and arrows, and be fast, or it will die of thirst before it's shot to death! ”

Kelly couldn't help but laugh.

At this time, Qin Tian saw a group of people around the corner of the "market", they were crowded and seemed to be buying something.

Then Qin Tian knew what it was...... Arabic tea.

Qin Tian's face sank, and he separated the crowd and squeezed in, and sure enough, he saw two young men in plaid clothes selling khattan tea, and they obviously didn't know Qin Tian, because one of them grabbed a handful of "tea leaves" and asked Qin Tian: "Hey, man, can you come a little?" ”

"Where did you come from?" Qin Tian asked.

"Kismayo!" The young man replied, and then asked, "What are you asking for?" Do you want it or not? ”

"Grab your stuff and get out!" Qin Tian said.

"Oh, man!" The young man's face sank, he took a step forward and said to Qin Tian viciously: "If you don't buy it, you'd better go away, otherwise you'll ......"

Before the words fell, the young man noticed that something was wrong with the situation, and the people who were still scrambling to buy kratat just now surrounded him one by one and stared at the young man coldly.

"Otherwise what?" Qin Tian asked.

"No, no, nothing!" The young man realized that Qin Tian was not small, so he spread his hands and changed his words: "Man, we didn't destroy Jila's system, look ......"

Saying that, the young man lifted his clothes: "We didn't bring weapons, we just came to sell 'tea'!" ”

So Qin Tian understood that as the population of the base increased, it was inevitable that some of them would become addicted to khat.

As the saying goes, where there is demand, there is a market, and the "tea" sellers in Kismayo quickly turned their attention to the base.

And the chief and others thought that this was a normal thing, so they did not stop it.

Qin Tian picked up the kabic tea and raised it in front of the young man, saying, "This thing can't work!" ”

"That's not what they said!" The young man laughed, "It's not up to you, man! ”

The people around couldn't help but laugh.

One of them shouted: "Bussett, he is the one who has the final say!" ”

The young man looked at Qin Tian in surprise, and then smiled: "Are you kidding!" ”

Then the chief squeezed in and asked, "Head, what happened?" ”

Qin Tian glanced at the stunned young man and said to the chief, "From now on, don't let me see a single piece of Arabica tea in the base. ”

"But what if someone needs it?" The chief asked.

"They have two options!" Qin Tian replied: "Either get out of the base or quit it!" ”

"Yes, head!" The chief replied.

Then he turned to his subordinates behind him and shouted, "You all heard, not a single piece of khattan is allowed!" ”

The soldiers rushed forward in response, escorting the youth and its khat.

Of course, what has already been sold will also be confiscated.

"So!" Kelly said, "What you're going to create is a drug-free, gun-free world? ”

"Isn't that how it should be?" Qin Tian replied.

"Indeed!" Kelly replied, "But it may not be that easy!" ”

"What do you mean?" Qin Tian asked.

"'Hunting' has had a similar move!" "You know, khat makes those workers lazy and severely less productive," Kelly said. We tried to ban khatat from the factory, but ......"

"Any questions?"

"The problem is that scarcity is expensive!" Kelly said: "Because of the ban, it has become scarce, and some people are addicted to it and desperate to get it, so they are willing to pay a greater price, and the result is that the price has increased several times or even dozens of times, and this will make the 'tea' dealers take risks!" ”
