Chapter 39: The Great Harvest
Finally waiting for it to calm down, Tang Ge dipped his fingers in some fat on the barbecue and put it to its mouth. www.biquge.info At first, this guy was still baring his teeth and shrinking his neck to express intimidation, but when he smelled the smell of food, he couldn't help but stick out his tongue to lick it, and from time to time he gently gnawed it. The barbs on the tongue scratch the fingers, and the teeth don't hurt when they bite on the fingers. This made Tang Ge very satisfied, knowing the severity of his mouth means that he knows how to get along with people, and if he is willing to eat, he is not afraid of not being able to feed himself.
Tang Ge put the raw meat and fat in the palm of his hand and fed the little tiger with the palm of his hand, so that it could become familiar with his taste. waited until it was full, and fell asleep in Tang Ge's arms. Tang Ge found a rope and tied it carefully to prevent it from waking up in the middle of the night and running out. I checked it by the way, and this little tiger is a male.
Gently stroking the sleeping little tiger, Tang Ge muttered, "In the future, the two of us will depend on each other." I'll give you a name, and I'll call it Adam. ”
****************
The next day, Tang Ge hugged Adam, followed the big stone, and continued to visit the market. He's fine anyway, it's just boring to pass the time when he goes to the market. But what he didn't expect was that this visit to the market gave him an unexpected harvest.
Tang Ge wanted a knife, a real knife. So they went to the stall selling stones.
It was the caravan that had traveled far and wide that had brought all kinds of stone from all over the world. Most of them are flint, but there are also jade agate, as well as various ores. In short, there are all kinds of stones, and there are always a lot of them.
Big stones were picking and choosing from the stalls, and Tang Ge didn't understand the stones, so he looked around. A small black stone in the stall owner's hand caught his eye.
The small stone is about the size of an adult's fist, and the stone is covered with dense black particles. The stall owner was rubbing his fingers to the tiny grains of sand.
This is a natural magnet. Tang Ge recognized it at first sight. Then he thought he couldn't figure out if he could make a compass out of a magnet.
"Can you show me the stone in your hand?" Tang Ge asked
The stall owner didn't care, and handed over the stone in his hand.
Tang Ge played with the black stone, and the fine iron slag like sand was densely stained on the stone. This is definitely a magnet.
"How do you change this stone?" Tang Ge took out the salt bag in his hand.
The stall owner smiled and said, "Do you know what this thing is?" ”
Tang Ge smiled: "Isn't it just a magnet?" ”
The stall owner took out a piece of silver-gray ore from a leather bag, put the magnet on it, and something miraculous happened: the magnet was attached to it and did not fall off.
The stall owner said proudly: "This kind of sacred stone is very expensive, and this is not the material for making stone tools, you should look at something else, little doll."
Tang Ge was stunned. Not because of the magnet, but because of the ore that can be adsorbed by the magnet. What can be adsorbed by magnets is naturally iron ore. Tang Ge carefully looked at the silver-gray stone with a metallic luster, and a greedy glint appeared in his eyes.
"Bonanza!" Tang Ge shouted in his heart.
The stall owner enjoyed Tang Ge's shocked expression, and it was his favorite thing to do to display his divine stone in front of these uninformed natives. Because it was the first time he saw this kind of divine stone, he was also shocked like them.
Tang Ge forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked in a calm tone, "How many more of these shiny stones do you have?" ”
The stall owner patted the skin beside him and said proudly: "I still have a lot of them, but little doll, the quality of the stoneware made of this stone is not ordinarily good, so the price is also very expensive." ”
Tang Ge said: "I want it all." The price is yours. ”
The stall owner was taken aback and asked, "Are you kidding?" ”
Tang Ge said seriously: "I'm not joking, I have all this kind of stone, and I can't miss a piece!" ”
Da Shi also looked at Tang Ge in surprise, and couldn't understand what his son was crazy about.
Tang Ge repeatedly told the stall owner that he was not allowed to sell a single stone of this kind, and then hurried back to the tribe's stall with a big stone full of doubts on his face.
Tang Ge didn't plan to waste time, so he directly pulled Qingshan into the tent.
"There's one thing our tribe must get!" Tang Ge said to Qingshan in a serious and serious tone.
Tang Ge's expression also surprised Qingshan, and similarly, Qingshan also understood that Tang Ge was not joking with him, so he asked suspiciously, "What is it?" ”
Tang Ge said: "Stone, a kind of ore. With it I was able to make very sharp and hard weapons! A hundred times more powerful than the best stone tools! ”
Qingshan also became serious and asked, "Shi Wazi, what you said is true?" ”
Tang Ge said: "Absolutely, just like I can burn pottery, with these stones, I can make the sharpest weapons." ”
Qingshan never doubted Tang Ge's ability, not to mention that there was also Fat Wu's instructions to try to meet all of Tang Ge's requirements, and said without hesitation: "Go, take me to see." ”
Tang Ge took Qingshan to the stall selling stone tools, and after carefully observing the iron ore, he looked at Tang Ge suspiciously, and Tang Ge nodded firmly at Qingshan.
"I want all of this stone, and the price is yours." Qingshan Niu said to the stall owner angrily.
After paying the price of five bighorn deer, harvesting about three or four hundred catties of silver-gray iron ore and the magnet, Tang Ge used the magnet to try every stone on the stall, and then left with Qingshan satisfied.
"Soon my brother will have a real sword, at least he will have to make a divine sword." Tang Ge took a big stride and thought proudly.
After lunch, Tang Ge took the magnet to try all the stones in the market, but unfortunately did not find other iron ore, of course, some of these stones are obviously ores, but Tang Ge didn't know any of them, so he didn't buy them.
**********************
In the blink of an eye, the bazaar is over. In the past two days, Riadang and Tang Ge have also become acquainted. Nowadays, I don't have to use a rope to tie it and I don't worry about it getting lost. No matter where Tang Ge goes, Little Adam will follow closely and never leave.
Tang Ge took advantage of the past two days to set up information in the bazaar. The most visited were bearded caravans. The bearded man saw that Tang Ge was actually carrying a little tiger cub, and he was even more sure that this guy was a loser. However, Tang singer is diligent and sweet, and the bearded man likes this clever boy quite a lot.
In two days, Tang Ge got a lot of information out of the bearded man's mouth. The bearded man came from a tribe in the east, and his name was Erhugou. Their tribe didn't produce much, but it didn't bother them. They chose to go outward, trading along the way. Today, the entire tribe lives on trade.
The question about the grain and ore that Tang Ge was most concerned about also had an answer. It turns out that food in this world is a very precious thing, and only people with status and status can enjoy it. Except for a very small number of tribes that produce food, the rest of the country is dominated by animal meat. And in many places, they depend on grazing for their livelihoods. This also made Tang Ge secretly smack his tongue, if you want to put it in your last life, you tell others that meat is a bargain, and wheat and rice are valuable, I'm afraid it will be regarded as a neuropathy.
As for the iron ore, the caravan did not know where it came from. The iron ore was bought by them in a tribe far away from here, and this tribe in turn was traded for it from other tribes. As for the origin of the ore, it is not clear, and it is a pity to talk about this beard. You must know that the quality of the weapons made from this ore is not ordinarily good, and the price is naturally high, and the profits are considerable. Tang Ge asked them to buy as much as they could buy this kind of ore in the future, as long as some Tang Ge had booked it. The bearded man casually agreed. This kind of stone itself is a very good commodity, even if there is no Tang Ge's entrustment, they will also buy it.
There is also the alliance, the original one-tree alliance where the one-tree tribe is located, turned out to be one of the most powerful of all known tribal alliances, and the great witch in the tribe is simply an existence like an earth emperor. The old witch can give up so much power and run to this place where birds don't to open up the wasteland, and I don't know how much courage it takes. And their grandfather actually got nervous with the old witch, I really don't know what these people think.
On the last day of the fair, Aoyama traded all the remaining bighorn deer for ten young female slaves and one male slave. There are more men and fewer women in the tribe, and many people are now singles, so it is understandable to change some female slaves Tang Ge, but that male slave is a bit strange. Aoyama said that this man was the "tip" of the transaction. That is, it was given away for free.
This guy looks quite old, with a long scar on his face, and his eyes are purring, and he doesn't look like a good bird. It stands to reason that this kind of guy who is not a good person at first glance is not accepted in the tribe, and I don't know what Aoyama thinks, so he was greedy and brought this guy back. These people will live under the supervision of the tribe for a period of time after returning to the tribe, and if there is no major problem, they can be left alone to participate in the tribe labor.
Still walking through the wasteland with the Shangwa tribe, the wasteland was full of life, and the wild animals were abundant, which made Tang Ge wonder where he was. The animal population in the wilderness is very similar to the African wildlife documentaries I watched in my previous life, but there are many more unbelievable animals. For example, the giant horror bird, and the huge swollen horned deer, Tang Ge even saw wild horses, giraffes, pandas and antelopes, which is simply a hodgepodge of wild animals. Animals that could not have been together in previous lives live together on the same grassland. I hate that I haven't passed history and biology, and I don't know that this situation is abnormal.
Now Tang Ge finally has his own bow and arrow. The bow was bought by him in exchange for salt, the bow of the big stone was too heavy for him to open, and his bow was originally a toy for children, but it was still possible to hunt some small animals. He had some half-discarded arrows from his trading team, intending to use them for accuracy. It was only then that he noticed that the arrows at this time had no feathers, and it was no wonder that the arrows of the big stones were always placed upwards. But he just took this matter to heart, and planned to wait until he returned to the tribe. Good things are of course to be kept for yourself. In this era, advanced weapons represent not only productivity, but also combat effectiveness, and he does not want to use his own ideas to improve the enemy's armament.
Men, no matter how old they are, always have a violent factor hidden in their bones. Tang singer had a bow and arrow, and he began to move, and along the way, he wanted to shoot an arrow when he saw anything, and he was eager to experience the thrill of hunting. He didn't dare to touch the big guy, so he could only twist his head like a rattle, looking for suitable little prey everywhere, and couldn't wait to open up his bow and arrows, but unfortunately he didn't even see a rabbit except for the birds in the trees along the way, so Tang Ge could only itch but had nowhere to start.
