Chapter 55: Salt is expensive
Chinese I looked at Xiao Ai, pursed my lips and smiled, and said, "If you really regard me as a friend, tell me what you want." ”
"Salt, we need a lot of table salt." Xiao Ai said.
I looked at Xiao Ai and said tentatively, "Are you very short of salt?" ”
"One thing I didn't tell you is that the real purpose of the four tribes participating in the Seven Days Festival is actually to find this mineral salt." Xiao Ai said, "But this kind of mineral salt is very rare on the main island, and it is extremely precious to us. ”
"I'll give you salt." I say.
"Great Teacher, we are better than you to give us salt, how did you get so much refined salt." The dwarf said suddenly.
The dwarf smiled very indifferently, as if he didn't care about Xiao Ai and the old mama's gaze at all.
As soon as the dwarf wanted to speak, Xiao Ai scolded sharply, she was speaking the language of savages, I naturally couldn't understand it, and the old lady's face was also very displeased.
I smiled, this dwarf still has a calculating heart. Although he has an ugly face and a deformed body, he is definitely the smartest of the savages, and Xiao Ai is even more scheming.
"I've always been good, what exactly does 'mentor' mean?" I say.
I looked at Xiao Ai and nodded. When I saw such regular Western-style houses and patchwork farmland, I wondered if their mentors were related to the two adventurers who had been stranded on the desert island in the first place.
My mind flashed to a severed rope and Ai's skilled taekwondo and judo.
Xiao Ai pursed her lips and smiled, "You seem to be very interested." ”
Xiao Ai looked at me, his eyes did not dodge in the slightest, and said, "I hid a sharp stone in my hand, which I secretly cut myself." ”
I didn't ask any further. We discussed the situation around the main island. I revealed that we wanted to build a ship and leave, and of course took out the bait that we had mastered the method of extracting table salt.
The lunch passed slowly after our words, and I made an agreement with the old lady to exchange a bag of rice for a coconut shell of salt, and Xiao Ai carried out the contact.
Lunch was quite happy, for us it was already very rich, chickens, ducks, fish and geese were complete, all of them were game.
I was amazed at how Xiao Ai's tribesmen could have so many products of modern society here. Ai led us to a cave where many Noti were busy with their work, and the shore was littered with hull mutilation.
I became more and more interested in this black demon, so I said, "Can you take us to see this black demon?" ”
I looked out to sea, and the wind and waves were coming in waves, and it was really windy, and the pores of the rocks drilled through the strong wind, and let out a whining ghostly howl.
We returned to the village, and the gnomes came to see me with the sacrifices of the other three tribes. These sacrifices have a very high status in the tribe, second only to the tribal leader, equivalent to the second-in-command, I don't know what they have come to me for.
Needless to say, it's also for the sake of salt. I offered two bags of rice and some game in exchange for a coconut shell of salt.
Xiao Ai naturally knew that I was biased towards them, after all, they only exchanged a bag of rice for a coconut shell of salt.
The situation of the other three tribes is not much better, and they can exchange the least amount of grain for the most salt, which is naturally a good thing.
