Chapter 206: The Charm of Salt

Kong Long looked at the small white crystal powder in the bowl, didn't know what it meant, tentatively stretched out his finger and dipped it a little, looked at Yao Ran, Yao Ran smiled and motioned him to taste it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Kong Long put his finger into his mouth, and his expression immediately changed. I looked at the tasteless pork ribs in my hand again, took a piece of it and dipped it in a bowl, and then ate it.

Nodding while eating, he chewed five or six times, and was suddenly stunned, then turned his head to look at Yao Ran and said, "This, this, this is salt?" Kong Long's eyes were sincere, his white beard was stained with some oil, and his expression was still very exaggerated, which made Yao Ran want to laugh.

But today's business is important, and Yao Ran doesn't talk nonsense. He nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, this is salt." He took a breath, sat up straight, glanced around, and said, "I dare to guarantee this in this world, and no one can get this thing out of me." Although there is also salt in what we usually eat. But since we stopped drinking blood, we ate less salt. ”

Kong Long thought for a moment and said, "This salt is brought out of blood?" With a look of surprise, Yao Ran squirted out.

Yao Ran shook his head and said, "Of course not, with so much salt, there is only so much in the blood." I will take you to our Yancheng to see it when I have a chance in the future. ”

Yao Ran also picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, and said as he ate it, "How about it, do you have any questions about migration?" ”

Hearing Yao Ran's question, Kong Long hurriedly put the bones and meat in his hand on the long table in front of him, and said solemnly to Yao Ran, "Yao Ran, I think about it backwards, and I can't think of any benefit to you if we move to live near you?" If you don't say it, even if you don't want my old life, I won't take the people in the village with you. ”

Yao Ran raised his eyebrows and smiled, this old boy really didn't give it for nothing, "I'll be honest with you, my number is indeed as many as five of you." Saying that, he was afraid that Kong Long would not understand, so he stretched out his hand and gestured five fingers.

"But these people are far from enough, and I need more people." Yao Ran continued, and as he spoke, he also put down the meat in his hand.

Of course, Kong Long understood Yao Ran's words, and Yao Ran's approachable tone made Kong Long feel that there was not too much pressure to talk. He continued to ask, "What do you want so many people for?" ”

Yao Ran smiled and didn't speak, but pulled out a dagger from his calf, which frightened Kong Long and shrank back, Yao Ran flipped the dagger in his hand, the tip of the knife was facing him, and the handle was facing Kong Long's direction.

was startled by Yao Ran's sudden movements, but seeing that Yao Ran didn't want to kill him, he sat up straight again. looked at Yao Ran's eyes, and then looked at the dagger in Yao Ran's hand.

Yao Ran opened his mouth and said, "Don't be afraid of what I said when I came to us, everything is true, and it is easy for me to really want to kill you." You should be able to tell. Yao Ran didn't speak fast or slow. But listening to it was extremely stressful in Kong Long's ears.

Kong Long's hand trembled a little and took the dagger handed by Yao Ran, Yao Ran opened his mouth and said, "Can you tell what this dagger is made of?" ”

The texture is cold on the hand, there is a crisp sound when struck, and the edge is extremely sharp. "I don't know, I can't see it, it's not a stone or a bone." Kong Long shook his head and said.

Yao Ran bent down again and took off the leather sheath tied to his legs. put it in Kong Long's hand and said, "I've given it to you." ”

Such a good weapon for me? What are you going to do? Haven't you finished what you just said? Give me another problem! "I can't ask for this?" Kong Long spoke, shaking his head like a rattle.

Yao Ran smiled and said, "This dagger is made of iron, we mine an ore in the mountains, and then use a flame higher than a tree to melt it and fix it into a shape. Then sharpen his edge. And it became this dagger. ”

Yao Ran didn't take the dagger that Kong Long pushed back, but just pointed his finger at the dagger again. Tell me about the origin of this dagger.

Then he continued, "The mining of these ores, the crushing of the rough stones, and the flames that are taller than the trees all need to be worked to function, so we have a special group of people to collect the food, whether it is fishing or hunting. When I collect them, I pay them. That's it....."

Yao Ran took out a stack of banknotes in his arms as he spoke. took out two and put them in Kong Long's hand. Kong Long looked at the banknote in his hand with some confusion, "Others give you fish and prey, you give them this?" ”

Kong Long looked left and right at the firelight, flicked it and listened to the sound. I didn't understand it, so I continued to prepare, "What can this thing do?" ”

Yao Ran pointed to the banknote in Kong Long's hand and continued, "This is what we call money, and it can be exchanged for this." Yao Ran pointed to the knife in Kong Long's hand, then took out the small clay bottle in his arms, and continued, "You can also change this." ”

Then Yao Ranyou carried the clothes on his body and continued, "I can also change clothes and shoes." This is the value you get in exchange for your labor, and you can exchange it for anything with someone who approves of it, or use it to ask someone for what you need! ”

Yao Ran stretched out his finger, and Yao Shi said, "For example, you can take him and tell others that the black boy will sing a song to me, and the money will be yours?" It was originally an example given by Yao Ran. But Yao Shi did hear it and did it.

Yao Shi stood up and sang with his throat pulled,

"My hometown is under the high mountains, and there is a snow-capped mountain river there!"

"Blue sky, white clouds."

"Grandma said it was blessed by the patriarch!"

"Oh, la, la, la, ala, ala!"

Yao Ran laughed when he heard this, but the dozens of guards who followed Yao Ran began to sing, and the male voice was low, powerful, and melodious, which was unique in this starlit night.

At this moment, the barren cultural life of primitive people was quickly infected, and many people hummed softly, and everyone could understand the lyrics. But what the patriarch blessed everyone does not know.

In a small episode, the conversation between Yao Ran and Kong Long continued, "This thing can help me complete a thing called socialized division of labor." It has helped me to improve the efficiency of my production. You also control a large village. There are also people who are lazy and don't work, but they are eaten as much as they are eaten. ”

Hearing Yao Ran's words, Kong Long nodded with deep understanding, yes, when the working relationship is not clear and the resources are not clear, the primitive society can be said to be communist. In the early days, there was no clear ownership of wives and children, and now private ownership has just appeared, but in any transitional period, there will be people who fish in troubled waters, and there are also many people who enjoy the fruits of the original communist society and do not have to work.

"Of course I know this, but we can't always send someone to watch him work."

"So for the sake of fairness, let everyone's efforts be rewarded, and let those who are lazy and slippery go hungry! We use this money to count everyone's workload. ”

"I understand, but you still haven't said why you want so many people, what the hell are you going to do with so many people?" Kong Long asked persistently. (To be continued.) )
