Chapter Eighty-Eight: Rushing to the Market
Early the next morning, Tang Ge went straight to the slave camp and picked a dozen young men and women who were pleasing to the eye. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info said that there are 100 people who bought this time, but there is really no beautiful one. Why? Because it's pretty. Changshan is to pick those who are strong and young to buy, so that the cost performance is relatively high.
Brought these dozen young men and women out, found a vacant land, and Tang Ge began to train them.
Tang Ge's idea is very simple, the tribe must not only show its strength, but also cannot use force, then have a luxurious dinner, when the time comes, it will definitely be able to shock the buns, and the dinner will be luxurious, and it can also indirectly show the strength of the tribe, and this group of young men and women are the waiters at the banquet.
originally thought that it was a very simple etiquette training, but who knew that it made Tang Ge angry. This group of slaves is used to doing it, and they are groveling when they see everyone, and they are also careful when they do things, and they can't be more careful, for fear that they will be punished if they do something wrong.
Tang Ge just asked these people to maintain a confident and indifferent attitude, but it was such a simple thing, but no matter how they were taught, they couldn't be taught, one by one like a quail that had been beaten by frost and defeated, without any spirit. Although Tang Ge repeatedly asked them to be generous, even if they did something wrong, there would be no punishment, but these people still went their own way, and they still looked wilted.
In the end, Tang Ge was completely angry, and directly told them that if they can't learn, then they won't have anything to eat, and I'm staring at you today, one can't learn, the other has nothing to eat, if they can't learn, then they will all starve to death, anyway, this kind of soft-backbone stupid person is a waste of food to live in the world.
As a result, on the first day, the effect was very unsatisfactory, Tang Ge really didn't give them food, and sent a sentry to keep an eye on them at night, saving them from stealing food. When Tang Ge chose people, he tried to choose young people with families, most of these people had families in the slave group, and if they couldn't keep it, someone would save a few mouthfuls of food and give it to them secretly.
The next day, when Tang Ge started training again, the effect came out.
Tang Ge's requirements are not high, but let these people maintain an indifferent attitude regardless of walking, sitting and lying down, and do what they teach. Stand in a standard posture, fold your hands, look straight ahead, and do not look down or look left or right. Walk slowly and dignifiedly, take every step evenly, be sure not to hurry, and to be straight, look at level, and put your hands together. Sitting is actually also kneeling, with the knees together, the hips sitting on the heels, the insteps on the ground, the hands on the knees, and the eyes ahead.
The content of the training comes from the etiquette of the Han Dynasty, referred to as the Han ceremony, and the purpose, to put it bluntly, is to train a batch of high-end and high-grade ...... Waiter.
This group of children are all fourteen or fifteen years old, and it is the time when they grow their bodies, and it is also the time when they are easy to get hungry. After a day and a night of hunger and cold, these slave youths finally opened their heads in order to eat, and one by one under the guidance of Tang Ge, they became different.
In fact, I don't blame Tang Ge for being ruthless, he is not willing to punish him, beating and scolding slaves is a very tasteless thing in Tang Ge's opinion, since he is not willing to beat, then starve them. Anyway, if you don't eat for a day, you won't be hungry, and it is said that when people are hungry, their brains will turn a little faster.
After a few days of training, these people finally had a bit of a look in Tang Ge's eyes. In the past few days of training, there are also a lot of clansmen who come to watch the excitement, although I don't understand why Tang Ge let them practice such etiquette, but these people can see the nobility in their gestures during the training. Some clansmen asked Tang Ge why he only taught these people but not the clansmen, and was sent away by Tang Ge's sentence "Only inferior people need to learn these to serve others".
Training etiquette, setting menus, don't look at it is just a trivial matter, and it is enough for Tang Ge to be busy. Whether it is utensils or dishes, it must be determined little by little, and then taught to specialized people, these days, it is not easy to make dishes delicious and beautiful. The tireless Tang Ge made a decision, that is, whether it is a waiter or a chef, as well as the dishes, from this time on, they will be given to die, and in the future, whenever the tribe wants to entertain outsiders, they will follow this standard system, and the manpower will also be drawn from these people. He will have to say hello again next time.
After such a busy week, it was finally time to set off. This time, the trading team is a big team, with dozens of people and a lot of things. There are many people, and it is okay to be armed, so there is no need to set off with other tribes to ensure safety. A group of people killed them directly from the wasteland, and the distance was much closer.
The big stone didn't follow as usual, Tang Ge estimated that this guy must have been stimulated by something in the market, and the normal clansmen were eager to go to the market one by one to see the excitement, and the trading team was almost to grab the quota, but the big stone was able to hide from this matter, and resolutely not to go if he could.
The tribe is now wealthy, in the past, it was to rush to the market, and rushed over to occupy the position, but now it is indeed a state of "sweeping", referred to as a local tyrant. Now they are all expected to be traded, so there is no need to rush as before.
When I arrived at the bazaar unhurriedly, the bazaar had already begun.
It seems that the tribes really attach great importance to this meeting, and it is estimated that the chiefs who should come have arrived. Tang Ge glanced at it casually, and saw three or four gorgeously dressed tribal leaders leading a group of people wandering around the market.
The main head of the tribal trade is usually woodware, all kinds of beautifully crafted furniture, painted with tung oil several times, it looks beautiful and generous, and is the favorite of merchants who travel far away. After they have traded the wood to the traveling merchants, they can take the exchanged supplies to sweep the goods. If you want to say that the tribe in this area is poor, the furniture that was not very well made in the past can still be sold in the market, but now the furniture is well-made and generous, and the price will naturally go up, but the sales have fallen. The whole bazaar can afford to buy it, and the merchants who travel far away
Qingshan took people to sell furniture, but Tang Ge was not in a hurry to go to the market, but found an open place in the northernmost part of the market, and commanded people to erect a big tent. The tent is shaped like a yurt, and it is indeed very spacious after entering, dozens of square meters.
This tent Tang Ge has taken a lot of effort, the whole tent is made of nitrate animal skins, picking large pieces, and the same color is carefully sewn into whole pieces one by one, and then assembled through the keel when it arrives at the place, such a large number of animal skins, but it takes a lot of old nose to bring them over. But there is no way, because you have to follow the instructions of the fat witch, everything is for the sake of pretending, and it is too late to buy and make it in the market, so you can only do something.
After setting up the tent, someone naturally took care of other things, and Tang Ge took Adam to start visiting the market. Now his identity is different, it can be said that he almost represents the face of the tribe, so under the strong request of Qingshan, four strong slaves were selected, and during this time in the market, these slaves had to follow him inch by inch, so to speak, bodyguards and entourage.
Tang Ge has no opinion on this matter at all, he is a bastard if he is cheap, he can be served as an uncle, and it fully satisfies Tang Ge's vanity: from now on, the master is also the one who goes out with the bodyguard.
The market was very lively, and there were more people than usual. I guess everyone is preparing for the autumn hunt. The liveliest stalls in the bazaar are none other than stone tools and rope stalls. In particular, the well-made stone spear spearhead is simply in short supply. Tang Ge was very curious that there were still rope sellers, you must know that this thing is generally self-produced and sold, and few people will buy it, but now there are many stalls selling ropes in the market, and it seems that the business is quite good. Not far from his tent were several stalls filled with thick and thin ropes.
After a few casual glances at a few rope stalls, Tang Ge lost interest, they were all big road goods such as straw ropes and bark ropes, and even leather ropes and animal tendon ropes were rare. And those who buy rope are also prepared for autumn hunting and ready to consume, generally speaking, as long as the quality is slightly passable.
Seeing that there was nothing he was interested in, Tang Ge led people to continue walking. The market is still the same market, the things are still the same things, and I haven't seen anything new after shopping for most of the day, which makes Tang Ge a little disappointed.
On the way, he met a few fat and fat people, who were followed by people, Tang Ge was estimated to be the chiefs of some tribes, but he didn't know any of them, and he didn't bother to take care of them, so he turned a blind eye to them, and when he met them, he just walked with his head up, and he didn't even roll his eyelids. On the contrary, these chiefs looked at Tang Ge with eyes full of curiosity, not knowing what the origin of this arrogant little boy was, looking at the posture that was more than them.
This time the market was very large, almost covering the entire valley, Tang Ge had been shopping for a long time before he had walked for most of the time, and he was tired of walking at this time, so he found a fruit stall to rest.
The fruit stall was an old man, the ground was covered with animal skins, the animal skins were red, green and green, and there were many seasonal melons and fruits, some of which Tang Ge knew, and some of whom he had never seen. But since it's put out for sale, it's definitely something that can be eaten. Now Tang Ge's appetite is gradually getting closer to that of primitive people, as long as this thing can be eaten, he dares to pick it up and taste it.
After picking all kinds of fruits with good skin, Tang Ge found a stone next to the stall and sat down, and began to gnaw them one by one. When you encounter something delicious, you will eat two more bites, and by the way, let the slaves who follow you buy more, and if you encounter something undelicious, you will throw it away when you taste it, regardless of where it flies. The old man who saw the fruit seller frowned, and he estimated that he was scolding this loser in his heart.
Tang Ge didn't even lift his eyelids, this level of "corruption" was not a matter for him at all. If the old man knew how much fruit he had wasted when he made wine, he would probably be scared to death.
Tang Ge was dripping with juice, and no one was nibbling on the fruit in his hand, and he vaguely heard that someone seemed to be calling him. Looking closely, it turned out to be a young man, fifteen or sixteen years old, running in this direction.
