189 What is the price of yellow sheep?
The yellow sheep abundant in the song man star is not the size of the average person's imagination, the size of this wild yellow sheep is about two-thirds of the bison, which shows the size of this yellow sheep. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
What's even more amazing is that although the yellow sheep is very large, the meat is very delicate, and it is not as chai as people imagine, coupled with Li Mi's craftsmanship, everyone who has eaten it is dumbfounded.
"What a workmanship! You...... Who did you learn this from? Killer Bee forgot about the unpleasantness just now and asked in surprise. But Li Mi smiled and didn't answer.
Whole yellow sheep and bison are charcoal-grilled, and it is impossible to cook such a huge piece of meat at one time, only one layer on the outside, and then immediately cut it off with a knife, and then roast the next layer of raw meat.
The flavor of the meat slices cut in this way is very unique, one side is already crispy and the other side is very tender and juicy, coupled with Li Mi's supernatural cooking skills and the addition of magic cuisine, everyone present is dumbfounded.
"It's incredible, it's incredible......" The elder of the elk tribe almost swallowed his tongue with the slices of meat.
After three rounds of wine, more than half of the meat was eaten, everyone's stomachs were almost filled, and dozens of bags of fruit wine were drunk, and everyone felt a little drunk.
Li Mi threw down the cleaver and comfortably leaned on the armor storage box behind him, with a dry and soft jade straw mat under him, looking up at the starry sky and feeling the vastness of heaven and earth.
But when out of the corner of his eye, he saw the darkness around the fire, and he sent out countless pairs of eyes that were greedily watching the remaining roast meat on the fire. heiyaΠΏge
It is well known that it is difficult for people to see the darkness around them when they look out at the campfire at night, but they can see the things next to the campfire very clearly.
Therefore, Li Mi didn't notice that there were so many spectators around this dinner party just now, and now that he was full of food and drink, he found that the women and children of the tribe had been watching them cautiously all along.
Li Mi was very familiar with that kind of gaze, because in the years when his adoptive father died and wandered, his gaze was also like this. Hunger, this is the gaze of hunger to the extreme.
"Come, don't just look at it, come here, I'll give you something to eat......" Li Mi smiled and recruited a little boy, who hesitated for a while, but still couldn't resist the temptation of the barbecue in Li Mi's hand, and ran over with a smoke.
The elder just wanted to scold, but was stopped by Li Mi's stern gaze, and the men in those tribes didn't dare to watch the children gobble up the leftover barbecue.
There was a second one, and soon dozens of tribal children gathered behind Li Mi, and the remaining barbecue meat was decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.
"No matter how bitter you are, you can't be bitter about the child! They are the hope of the future of the tribe, and I wondered, guarding such a rich singing star, there are still children starving? Could it be that there is not enough prey to eat in this jungle? Li Mi's accusation made the elders and the tribal men blush a little.
That's when the killer bee spoke, "Hope? Do you think there is still hope for these people? Do you think there is still hope for the whole Goman? This is a hundred thousand mountains, and the various tribes can barely survive under the leadership of the big chief, but do you know how the Song barbarians in other regions live? β
"In the savannahs of the Northern Hemisphere, every winter, when the cold winds blow from the poles, when the tribes encounter unbearable blizzards, they gather to keep warm......
"The core, and the warmest surrounding, belongs to adult men, and the outer circle of these men is adult women, and then outside are all the children, and the outermost ones directly resist the cold wind......"
"This is a very cruel law of survival, in the Song Man, only adult men and women who can hunt and farm are the future of the tribe, and the old man is the victim...... Of course, children are the future of the tribe, but a tribe with only children and no adults will starve to death! β
"You don't have to use your half-moon star values to ask the barbarians to go, you don't know the cruelty of life here!"
Li Mi was shocked, he didn't expect to get such an answer, and then looked at the yellow-faced and thin-skinny children around him, as well as the tribal women who were not covered outside, his heart sank all of a sudden.
"How so?" Li Mi asked puzzledly: "The herbs and animal skins of Ge Manxing, and the rare game are all sought-after goods of Half Moon Star?" As far as this yellow sheep is concerned, how can it be so poor that it becomes a problem to make ends meet? β
"It's not a damn war, it's not a sin created by the Black Left army! You know a fart...... "The killer bee pointed to the yellow mutton that the children were gnawing on, "You are not wrong, if such a yellow sheep is transported to the Half Moon Star, it can be sold for at least about 1,500 gold, and how much can be digested, and there is no worry about selling ......it at all."
"But do you know how much they can get for this thousand five hundred gold? I can give you a reverse......
"The market price of the Yellow Sheep of the Half Moon Star is 1,500 gold, and the landing price is about 1,000 gold, because the layers of profiteers of the Half Moon Star must take one-third of the profits......"
"And how much of the tax revenue will be taken away from the Black Left Star Domain? To take away the whole 300 gold coins, the transportation cost from Gemanxing to Half Moon Star is extremely high because it belongs to the military route, and a yellow sheep has to take away the transportation cost of 100 gold coins, which is only 600 gold......"
"Or because of the damn military management, the goods of the Goman Star must be bought and sold by the military as a middleman, which means that these Goman tribes cannot directly face the black left merchants, and they can only get a meager income of 200 gold coins by selling such a yellow sheep to the army......"
The killer bee said angrily, "This is not the end, two hundred catties of these tribes can't get all of them, and the big chief has to levy 40% of the war tax, which is 80 gold coins left, that is to say, how much gold coins will be in the hands of these tribes in the end?" Only a pitiful 120 gold ......"
"From 1500 to 120, what a staggering number? Expensive yellow sheep have become so cheap...... The price of herbs, furs and game for sale has been repeatedly reduced, while the price of daily necessities has been rising......"
"Salt, spices, cloth, medical supplies that the tribe urgently needs...... These supplies have more than increased tenfold compared to before the war, and the standard of living of the Song Barbarians has now regressed to the primitive stage of slash-and-burn farming, do you know? β
"Today's dinner may be an ordinary banquet for the people of Half-Moon Star, but for the Elk Tribe, what you eat is their reserve food for the winter......"
"On the one hand, they have to sell more game for necessities, and they also have to stock up on a large amount of dried meat for the winter...... Every bite of meat you eat is actually a reserve food for those children to spend the winter! β
"Now you know what war really is, right? War is not a movie or television that you watch, this is not a drama! β
The little psychological advantage that Li Mi had just established through martial arts was completely overturned by the killer bee at this moment, he didn't expect that Ge Manxing's life had been so difficult.
Looking at the elders and tribesmen who bowed their heads and were silent, Li Mi knew that the killer bee was not lying, "But who is to blame for this?" Do you still want to shift the blame for the war you provoked to others? β
"Hahaha......" Killer Bee laughed maniacally, "the war we provoked? Forget it, I don't want to argue with you, you have received the official education of the Black Left since you were a child, you don't know what the world outside of the Half Moon Star is like, and when you enter the main peak of the God of Songs tomorrow, you may be able to understand......"
"Come, drink! We don't have to deal with this nerd, he's been completely brainwashed...... "Killer Bee and the other fighters got aside to drink, and didn't bother with Li Mi anymore."
The gods fought, and the members of the elk tribe did not dare to talk much, especially those children who had fled to the side with the barbecue in their hands. The rest of the elders and tribal men also looked at Li Mi with a sneer, this is a very weak tribe, and in their eyes, any fighter is a god-like figure.
Li Mi wanted to give this tribe some money to let them tide over the difficulties, but after thinking about it, he was out to fight, and it was impossible to hide coins in the battle armor.
Thinking about it, it is better to give them fish than to give them fish, Li Mi raised his hand and waved to the two tribal women in the darkness to let them come over.
Now the faces of the men in the tribe have changed, do the guests need women? This is the greatest insult to the Elk Tribe, and the warriors will never let their wives and daughters become other people's playthings.
But do you really want to resist? Thinking back to the battle in the dense forest in the evening, they knew that even the entire elk tribe together would not be Li Mi's opponent.
What happened later was a big surprise, under the gaze of the elders, instead of doing anything to the girls, Li Mi actually whispered to the girls to teach them cooking skills.
"I've tasted your jerky just now, and the taste is too simple to sell at a good price...... You can't just salt and air dry to make this jerky, you have to learn to use spices......"
"Rosemary, cardamom, cinnamon...... These spices are ground into a powder mixed with salt and spread evenly on the fresh meat......"
"Remember, the cut meat must be beaten with a mallet, and the coarse fibers are broken so that the taste is better...... Finally, add the special spices I have mixed for you, and after three days of air drying, you can taste the taste......"
"I don't know how much this jerky can sell for, but at least it's a specialty of your elk tribe, and at least you have pricing power......"
Li Mi's cooking skills had already conquered the people present, and all the members of the tribe did not dare to slack off, and they firmly remembered every word Li Mi said.
Especially after the elder dipped his index finger in a little sauce and put it in his mouth, his happy face was full of wrinkles, and ironed, "Honorable guest, your gift to our elk tribe is really too heavy, with this secret recipe, our winter will be much better...... Thank you! β
