Chapter 289: Wheat
"What kind of material is this, it doesn't feel like linen?"
The woman smiled slightly, but did not answer.
When Ye Xi saw her like this, he knew that the source of this fabric was probably the secret of Jiugong, and he couldn't tell it to the outside world. He didn't go any further, but pointed to the dark green and white cloth on the stone platform.
"I will ask for two rolls of cloth of these two colors, and make two clothes for me and for him. ”
Broken Ling was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "My lord, you don't need to use such a precious cloth for me!"
Ye Xi didn't say much, only said softly: "Obedient." ”
Broken Ling didn't dare to speak again.
"Chirp, tweet!"
The quack in Ye Xi's arms suddenly twisted, and he opened his tender yellow mouth and screamed at Ye Xi.
Ye Xi glanced down at it and hesitated, "...... Do you want to do it too?"
"Chirp ~ tweet tweet!"
Quack's round eyes stared at Ye Xi seriously, and his voice became louder and more pleasant, as if to say that Ye Xi had guessed.
But Ye Xi ruthlessly rejected it: "No, you grow too fast and waste the fabric." "Quack is almost the same every day, and such an expensive cloth can be worn for several days.
"Chirp!!chirp!!"
Quack was anxious, his cry became rapid, and he sometimes looked down at the rough animal skin jacket on his body, as if he was angrily accusing Ye Xi of how ugly the jacket he was wearing.
Ye Xi really wants to say, you haven't even grown a single feather since you broke the shell, your skin is wrinkled and bare, and you can't be beautiful no matter how good you look, it's really not a pot of animal skins.
However, he was afraid of rattling, Ye Xi still swallowed the words, and coaxed it instead: "The clothes on your body are made by me, this is a treatment that no one has, if you dislike it, I will be sad." ”
"Chirp, tweet......"
Quack tilted his head, screamed weakly, and fell silent.
Ye Xiwaner, he felt that there might be something wrong with his eyes. I actually thought that this bald clown bird was very cute, and rubbed its head with a big palm, Ye Xi asked the woman with a smile: "When will the clothes be ready?"
"It will take about half a day, please come over and measure the size first. ”
Jiugong is not so advanced to invent a soft ruler, and the size is measured with hemp rope.
The woman of the Nine Workers took a small bundle of fine hemp rope, measured the length of her sleeves first, and then cut off the hemp rope that represented the length of her sleeves and put it away. Then measure the waist circumference, and then cut the hemp rope representing the waist length after the measurement...... The hemp ropes cut out in this way represent the dimensions of different parts of the two people's bodies, and they will make clothes according to this later.
The clothes could not be picked up until half a day later, and after Ye Xi paid the beast core, he left here with Broken Ling Gaga and went to another place to continue shopping.
On the left-hand side of the door is the Ganhamtha trading point.
The salt that Ye Xi brought from Tushan had already been washed away by the Nu River, and what he had been eating for this time was beast meat without any taste, and his mouth was about to fade out of the bird, seeing that he could buy salt here, Ye Xi hurriedly bought a small can.
The salt of Jiugong is delicate and white, without any impurities, which is not at all comparable to the previous Huangzhen tribe, only a little worse than the snowflake salt of Tushan.
However, the price of Jiugong salt is much more expensive than Tushan salt. The tribes near the Black Ridge Mountains may have preferred to die by themselves rather than come to buy the salt of the Nine Jobs.
But other tribesmen are still flocking to it, dozens of catties and dozens of catties are buying, and the people of Ganxianta have to keep buying to replenish the supply.
In addition to salt, the tartar also has sugar.
The taste of this sugar is different from the sucrose extracted from sugar cane, it has a fragrance of leaves, and the particles are very large, so it is eaten as a snack by everyone. The people of Ganhamta also have an ingenious way of melting sugar into various shapes, which looks both beautiful and creative.
In primitive societies, products were scarce, and this kind of food for children was unexpectedly popular with many people.
"Do you want to eat?" Ye Xi asked Xuan Ling.
Broken Ling shook his head, he preferred to drink beast blood and eat raw beast meat.
Ye Xi saw that the Gagaku in his arms actually probed his brain and wanted to eat, so he bought a small bag and fed it. One dared to feed the other and the other dared to eat, and a small bag of sugar was quickly eaten.
Ye Xi took Broken Ling to walk around one trading point after another.
The pottery tower trading point sells pottery products.
The development of Jiugong's pottery is much more advanced than that of Gongtao, of course, these are not enough in Ye Xi's eyes. However, he succeeded in amazing Duan Ling, who had never seen it before, and sighed that there was such a beautiful thing in this world.
In fact, making pottery is very easy for Ye Xi.
The reason why it was not developed in Tushan in the past...... That's purely because of a misunderstanding.
In Ye Xi's view, the stone tools are simple and durable, no matter how you fall, you can't break them, the primitive manpower here is great, and it is very convenient to make all kinds of stone tools. The pottery, on the other hand, is flashy and shatters as soon as it falls to the ground, and it is really useless except for being beautiful.
So Ye Xi thought that other people should be like him, and he also disdained such a fragile thing. What I never expected was that these primitive people with five big and three rough would actually pursue pottery like this.
Looking at the crowded Taoyun Pagoda trading point, Ye Xi sighed and pulled away the broken feather with a light in his eyes.
Next up is the paper tower.
The paper in the tower resembles a mixture of parchment and straw paper, but I don't know what material is added, and it is surprisingly strong. Compared with the thriving pottery pagoda and copper pagoda, the business here is much lighter, and few people come to visit.
Under the warm hospitality of the paper tower people, Ye Xi spent a pure-blooded beast core, bought two rolls of Jiugong paper with the best quality, and was also presented with an absorbent cloth pen produced by Jiugong.
And the planting tower is the place where Ye Xi has been visiting for the longest time and has the greatest harvest.
The seed tower sells not seeds, but various crops produced by Jiugong.
The variety of plants is an eye-opener for Ye Xi. The plant richness of the Jiugong tribe is far from being comparable to the small botanical garden of Tushan or the Ye tribe, and all kinds of fruits, leaves, and rhizomes with miraculous effects are only unthinkable by Ye Xi, and there is nothing that Jiugong does not have.
He had landed in the interior of the Nine Crafts, and had seen their farmland from afar, and it was as wide as the sea. It's a pity that he wasn't allowed to wander around the Nine Jobs, so he could only look at it from a distance.
Fortunately, the seed tower trading point made up for his regret.
Ye Xi even found a crop similar to wheat in the seed tower trading point. His eyes were burning on the "wheat", and all kinds of fragrant freshly baked bread instantly appeared in his mind, and he almost drooled.
"This seed can be ground and steamed, although the taste is not good, but eating more has the effect of enhancing strength. An ordinary person who guards the store smiled.
Afraid that Ye Xi would misunderstand, he added, "Of course, its effect is not as significant as that of exotic flowers and plants, and it needs to be eaten in large quantities to have an effect." ”
Ye Xi came back to his senses and asked tentatively: "Did you grind it directly and steam it and eat it?"
The tower planter had a good attitude and said with a smile: "It's too troublesome to peel the shells one by one, of course, if the guests are willing, they can also remove the shells by themselves." ”
"Oh. Ye Xi nodded.
It seems that the nine workers have not yet mastered the method of removing the husks in batches, and this kind of "wheat rice" is eaten with the husks ground up, so the taste is rough and grinds the throat.
No wonder not many people buy it.
