Chapter 242: Changing Ships

In an empty wooden room, laying out animal skins for the old man to sit in, Wang Chuan was busy outside the door. Sometimes www.biquge.info negotiation has to take the initiative, although Wang Chuan wants to know why he came, Wang Chuan deliberately pretends not to care. Be prepared to treat them first.

A simple stove was made from a few bricks from the building, and a fire was lit, and a clay pot filled with water was placed, but nothing was put into the pot.

The old man had lost all his teeth, and it would take too much time to cook the crispy broth, so Wang Chuan prepared to steam some fluffy rice for him. The tribe has some stock of good white rice, so let people take it.

The pouting spirit was unable to command. Since Wang Chuan and Qi slept together for one night, although Wang Chuan can swear that nothing has happened, some things have changed.

The first is that Qi's attitude towards Wang Chuan is more intimate. Although nothing happened, this woman was like a little girl who was treated like that in the future, and she became obedient to Wang Chuan. Wang Chuan heard that people sleeping with animals can increase intimacy, so he slept with baby elephants himself. I didn't find out that I slept with a woman, I didn't do anything, and I didn't call Wang Chuan a beast or a beast, so it would be better to be with him.

The second is that the half-sized son of the tribe obviously worships him a little more. They also had great respect for Wang Chuan before, but after this incident, their worship of him seemed to have deepened a little. It is admiration between males. Although this feels weird, Wang Chuan actually likes it.

In the end, the half-grown girls of the tribe looked at him with a bit of resentment. Taking Ling as an example, although she still follows Wang Chuan every day, the kind of thick resentment that can't be dissolved really sets off Wang Chuan as a negative man. What the spirit was told to do, and he would have readily agreed to it, but now he has become oblivious.

Ling ordered not to move, Wang Chuan had to let Qi go back to get rice, while waiting for rice, Wang Chuan found two osmanthus fish from the kitchen here.

Wang Chuan had the intention of showing off, so he played a trick on these two fish. In front of the winter bear and the old man, he used a dagger to separate the skin and bones of the fish, and when the rice was half-cooked, he put the fish into the steamer, and when the rice was cooked, the fish was just right. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and basil and drop two drops of animal oil and you're ready to eat.

Rice with boneless osmanthus fish is a good meal in any era. In this era, it should be at the level of a palace banquet, right? Didn't you see that this old man and Winter Bear looked at Wang Chuan's eyes as solemn as if they were watching a miracle?

The fish is tender and the rice is fluffy. Wang Chuan was afraid that the old man would not be able to use chopsticks, so he specially brought him a spoon. Pile the fish and soup on top of the rice, and eat it directly with a spoon. The first bite of the old man was hot, and he swallowed the rice back into the bowl before digging and eating it.

But the old man's appetite was really bad. He couldn't eat a bowl of rice with a big head, and he couldn't eat a third of it. handed the rice to the winter bear, who ignored the saliva, ate the contents of the bowl in the blink of an eye, and looked at Wang Chuan with unsatisfied eyes.

Wang Chuan rinsed the old man's mouth with a little pot of water, and then sat with him in the wooden room. Later generations of negotiations focused on the issue of initiative. Wang Chuan deliberately made a mess for a long time to let him eat first, just to make him anxious first.

The old man reminisced about what he had just tasted and sighed: "It's really insightful, I thought that pottery could only cook broth, but I didn't expect to be able to make it like this." The River Tribe is really admirable. I just saw that what you did had rules, are these also your rules? ”

Wang Chuan said: "I can't say the rules, just a little respect for your arrival." There is a saying that the old man is a treasure, and you don't know how many springs and autumns you have lived in this difficult environment, which is very worthy of admiration. ”

The old man said, "When it snowed last year, I felt like I couldn't survive. You know, you can't survive if you can't bite into pickled meat in winter. Luckily, my bear came out and got your pottery back. Let me drink the broth for a short time. That's how to survive the winter. ”

Wang Chuan said: "That's also because you are in good health, otherwise a little broth may not have that much effect." ”

The old man said, "Although the pottery leaked, I regarded it as a treasure at that time. However, it was later seen by outsiders. We had few people in the Ransom Clan, and it was not enough to protect this pottery, so we reluctantly let it out. After this incident, I was afraid of causing you trouble, so I asked Xiong'er, a child, to come to you and explain it to you face to face. It's just that this bear is stupid, but it makes you misunderstand. I'm so guilty about this. ”

Wang Chuan admired this old man's performance and was very impressed in his heart. The people who have mastered these conversation skills in this era are really not simple people.

This kind of weak and bowed head may be very moved by others, but in the eyes of people like Wang Chuan, who have been baptized by various routines in later generations, it is really ...... But Wang Chuan still decided to accompany him to play and see what he would say next.

It doesn't matter whether you believe these words or not, what matters is the attitude. He brought up the old story again, which should be to resolve the previous suspicions.

Wang Chuan said: "Don't talk about the past. To put it another way, if it weren't for these things, the River Tribe wouldn't be able to develop to its current scale. ”

The old man said: "The rapid rise of the River tribe is indeed surprising. ”

Wang Chuan said: "That's just luck. Speaking of speed and slowness, I am reminded of the speed of the ship that I was going to tell you about earlier......"

For later generations, velocity is the distance that an object travels per unit of time, which is easy to understand.

However, the concept of time in this era is basically stuck in the classification of "day", and the concept of distance is basically retained in the level of walking for one day or two days, so it is not easy for the old man to understand the truth of a universal speed.

Wang Chuan talked about the concept of hours and length for most of the day, and the old man pinched his fingers and counted for a long time, and then merged or converted what Wang Chuan said with his calculation method that he didn't know how. Finally, he said: "You said that this big ship can walk for ten days, and it can go for people to walk for ten days?" ”

Wang Chuan said: "It's almost time." ”

The old man said, "I couldn't go out anymore. If it weren't for the wheelbarrow like yours, I wouldn't have been able to make this journey. But my bones are also tossed a lot. When I go back again, if I still go like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to get home. I said, if we are willing to give us enough, will you trade the big ship for us? ”

Wang Chuan chuckled, and the fox finally showed its tail. And let this ancestor-level old man come out, the price he can give will definitely not be low.

But Wang Chuan didn't want to agree easily, so he said, "No." ”
