"What?"

The recruiter hung his triangular eyes and looked at the powder in Lin Yuan's hand obliquely.

Lin Yuan glanced left and right, and happened to see that in the room behind the recruiter, there was a bonfire burning, and a hare was roasting on the fire rack.

"This is your lunch?" Lin Yuan said as he walked inside.

The recruiter was in a hurry, how could he let others enter his room casually, he hurriedly stretched out his short arm and blocked Lin Yuan's way.

"Who let you in? This is the territory of the Yan tribe, and you barbarians can't be allowed to mess around! ”

Lin Yuan was not angry, calmly stretched out his palm, showed it to the other party, and then said:

"I'm here to show you the value of salt, it's something that needs to be paired with food to work...... If you're not at ease, you can take it in yourself...... If you're worried that I'll spoil your roast, I can give you this bone blade as compensation. ”

Lin Yuan pointed to a bone blade on Jiu Yao's waist and said calmly.

The triangular-eyed recruiter hesitated for a moment, and finally, curiosity finally overcame caution, he nodded, and said:

"Okay, let's see what you can do! I warn you, you can't move anything except barbecue, you know? ”

Lin Yuan nodded, walked straight to the back of the recruiter, and briefly observed the barbecue on the bonfire, it was a hare that had just been put on it, and there was still blood oozing from the muscles after peeling off the fur.

It just so happened that the meat and seasoning that had just been put on the stove was the best reality, Lin Yuan was happy, he recalled the time when he was in school and a group of fox friends and dog friends in the field to barbecue by himself, and he also practiced a good barbecue skill at that time.

Lin Yuan simply flipped the piece of hare meat, and then in front of everyone, he picked up the stone dagger placed next to the bonfire, drew a few grooves on the meat, and then sprinkled the salt in his hand on it, and then touched it with the dagger, turned it over, and concocted it in the same way.

The recruiter looked at Lin Yuan's movements with a suspicious expression, and after a while, under Lin Yuan's methodical roasting, the hare gradually roasted, and a trace of the aroma of roasted meat began to waft in the air.

"Well, it doesn't smell special......" The recruiter looked at Lin Yuan with contempt, and then snorted, "I'll tell you well, if you ruin my lunch, I'm welcome!" ”

Hou Yi and the others who were standing on the side were also worried, they only knew that the white particles in Lin Yuan's hands were what Lin Yuan asked for Tongyu, and they seemed to have extracted them from the silver lake, but they couldn't say what this thing was for.

He moved his arm in boredom, his eyes were fixed on the recruiter, and he was planning in his heart that if he dared to do anything to Lin Yuan in a while, he would definitely be the first to cut off his head with a stone axe, and it just so happened that he hadn't moved his muscles and bones for a long time.

While everyone was thinking about it, Lin Yuan had already walked out with the hare he had passed the exam, he stuck the hare in his twig and handed it to the recruiter, and said:

"You taste ......"

The recruiter looked at Lin Yuan suspiciously, thought about it for a while, and said slyly:

"How do I know if your salt or something, whether it's poisonous or not, you eat it first!"

Lin Yuan shrugged his shoulders, just as he was also hungry, without saying a word, he tore open one of the legs of the roast rabbit, put it in his mouth and chewed it......

Well...... That's what it tastes like...... It's been a long time...... Finally, I tasted the taste of salt-and-pepper barbecue again......

Lin Yuan tasted it with satisfaction, since he came to this ancient era, in this era when human beings have not yet discovered the use of broken promises, he has eaten too much tasteless food, although at first he thought it was the taste of original nature, but after a long time, he still couldn't help but miss the food with condiments.

The discovery of table salt was a very good start, and perhaps he could discover other spices in the future......

Seeing Lin Yuan's intoxicated expression, the surrounding people began to talk about it, and the recruiter finally couldn't bear it anymore, he snatched the barbecue meat from Lin Yuan's hand, first put it under his nose and smelled it, and then licked it carefully, a salty taste came into his mouth, he smacked his lips and said:

"Hmm...... This smell...... It's a bit like the smell of the blood of a beast...... Salty ...... But...... Well, but it doesn't smell like that......"

Lin Yuan smiled and made a big gulp gesture for the recruiter.

The recruiter hesitated to privately take a small piece of crispy baked rabbit meat, put it in his mouth, and ate a few bites.

Suddenly, he froze......

After chewing a few bites, he swallowed the meat violently, and he didn't have time to wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and suddenly stuffed the roast meat in his hand into his mouth, and savagely gnawed it, and while eating, he also said:

"Dry ...... ...... of the hammer It's so delicious! What does it taste like...... Not...... Uh-huh...... Meidi is very!! ”

Lin Yuan smiled and took a step back, he found that a group of people had gathered around him at some point, and the people around him began to whisper, everyone's eyes were focused on the skin on Lin Yuan's waist, they all knew that there was something in it that could make food even more delicious...... Salt......

Lin Yuan turned around and smiled at his companions, and then decided to strike while the iron was hot and said:

"In fact, in addition to making the meat more delicious, this salt has other effects! For example, add a little water to it, it can be turned into brine after melting, and then put the fresh meat in it and soak it for a few days, which is called pickling in my hometown, and then take out the meat and dry it, so that the jerky can be kept at least twice as long as ordinary air-dried meat...... Plus, with this salt, you don't have to drink that smelly raw blood on a regular basis......"

"That's not right! Raw blood brings the power of life! If you don't drink raw blood, you'll die! First there is weakness, and then the whole body ulcerates...... That's what my grandfather said!! ”

A little boy in the crowd suddenly shouted, Tong Yan Wuji, as soon as he finished speaking, he was covered by the middle-aged woman behind him, wanting to hide back.

Lin Yuan smiled and said to the boy:

"Your grandfather is right! But that's without salt, with this salt! You don't need to hunt regularly, you have to drink raw blood! What raw blood can bring you, this salt of mine can bring to you! Lin Yuan suddenly raised his voice, took out a small cloth bag from the leather pouch around his waist, about the size of a palm, which was full of broken promises, he raised the cloth bag high, and said loudly:

"With this salt! You, all of you, can now be free from the need to hunt live creatures! You can eat only grain and never drink raw blood for the rest of your life, and you can live well, and even better! Breaking your promise will change your way of life! The future of your tribe! Please tell each other, if you want to exchange, you can also find me......"

"Alright, alright! Keep your voice down! Over here...... Ahem...... This is the recruitment point of the Huang Clan...... It is not a trading municipal ...... in Xiying Ahem......"

The recruiter interrupted Lin Yuan's speech, and while wiping the oil and water from the corner of his mouth, he said, and everyone was surprised to find that the hare in his hand was gone, leaving only a bare wooden stick and broken bones all over the ground.

Lin Yuan shrugged his shoulders and stood in place, looking at each other with a smile.

"Hmm...... That one...... This ...... yours Salt...... Not bad! Well, it tastes good! The recruiter grossed his fingers and commented, "Okay, you salt...... You can do blood reward, I agreed, you all stay, put it here! ”

The recruiter greedily stared at the bulging skin around Lin Yuan's waist, and he swallowed.

Lin Yuan calmly threw the cloth bag in his hand in front of the recruiter, and said slowly:

"This salt is a very precious item...... In our hometown, there is a saying that there is a stone of salt and a stone of gold, well...... I know you don't understand, it's okay, anyway, you need to know that salt is precious...... Just the bag of salt I gave you...... Full purchase of 3 live goats at our previous price......"

The recruiter grabbed the slap-sized bag of broken promises, shook it, and said with some suspicion:

"This ...... Just such a little gadget, can it be worth three goats? ”

Lin Yuan didn't answer him, just turned around and yelled at the people around him:

"A bag of purest holy salt! For three goats, live other equivalents! Anyone wants it? ”

As soon as his words fell, suddenly a tall and thin man in the crowd shouted:

"I want to!! I have three goats! I'm going to change!! ”

Lin Yuan smiled and looked over, only to realize that the tall and thin man was actually the merchant who had guided them over before, and this merchant must have been annoyed in his heart at this time, he knew that this person was carrying such a valuable thing, so he couldn't bring them here......

Suddenly, several more shouts were heard from the crowd:

"I'm out of 5 wild boars! …… Hopefully this thing is really that magical......"

“…… Don't you see what the recruiter looks like? This thing...... If you take it to the Central Plains, you can at least double the things that can be exchanged! I want it! I've got twelve delicate stone spears! Plus twelve sets of leather armor!! “

Suddenly, a big fat man walked up to the crowd, he had a fat head and big ears, and he was wearing a gorgeously colored animal skin, he turned his head to look at the person who had just called the price, and said angrily: "! Don't be more robbed! I want it! I want it!! A packet of salt! I'm out of 10 slaves! I want all those in your arms! There are a few packs, I'll ask for a few!! ”

The fat man waved his hand, and several slaves with their hands and feet tied behind him staggered out, and everyone gave way.

"These are slaves who have just been captured from the rocky mountains of the south, and you see, they are all healthy and obedient! A bag of salt for 10 slaves! It's a good deal! ”

Lin Yuan originally just listened, but when he saw the slaves brought out by the other party, he couldn't help but be moved, so many slaves ...... If they can be included in their own tribe, they may be able to help the migration and development of the Sabah people......

"Oops...... You're all crazy! The recruiter finally couldn't help it, he screamed violently, and angrily scolded, "Don't even intervene! The recruiting office of the Huang clan! Not your bazaar! Get lost!! ”

Then he turned his head to look at Lin Yuan, this time, his tone was much softened, and he said softly:

"Hey! That one...... Let's talk about it...... Four-pack ...... How is it? There are four of you in total, so the blood reward price, one bag per person, four bags of salt, and I will let all four of you enlist in the army, how about it? ”

The recruiter looked at Lin Yuan expectantly.

Lin Yuan moved his lips: "2 packs!" ”

"This ...... Let's pack 3! I'm going to have to answer my boss too...... You ......"

"2 packs!"

"Ah...... Well, okay! That's two packs!! The recruiter finally compromised, and the shrewd man had already understood the value of the two packets of broken promises in Lin Yuan's hands, "Come on, come on!" You all come here, go there and get a set of equipment......"

Lin Yuan just wanted to lead everyone over, but suddenly, a loud shout came from behind him:

"Wait!! That strong man! All the salt on you! I want them all! The price is arbitrary! ”

The recruiter glared for a moment, and said with a curse in his mouth: "!" Who is so bold as to dare to come and spoil my good deeds......"

As he spoke, he poked his head out and glanced behind Lin Yuan.

It's okay not to look at it, but this time, his face suddenly changed, and he immediately climbed to the ground, and hurriedly knelt down to the person behind Lin Yuan, and while worshipping, he said:

"The Lord of the City...... I don't know if you're here for the little ones......"

City Lord?

Lin Yuan's heart froze, and he hurriedly turned around, only to suddenly find that everyone behind him had already knelt on the ground at any time, except for himself, Hou Yi and others, the only one still standing was one person in the crowd.

The man was tall, wearing a white linen coat and a clean face that revealed a majestic momentum.

"Your salt! I want them all! If it's convenient for this strong man, can you come to my big tent and let's talk? ”

The city lord said to Lin Yuan with a slight smile. (To be continued.) )
