Chapter 146: No Ginseng for the Next Exchange
After eating at Chen Jinyue's place twice, Si Yu discovered that the food served at the goddess' place was not only beautifully cooked but also very delicious.
For example, the meat is very different from the meat they bring back from hunting, and it doesn’t taste bad at all.
She couldn't help but ask.
"Because we have a lot of seasonings here, such as salt, which is salty, chili peppers are spicy, vinegar is sour, and sugar is sweet..."
Listening to Chen Jinyue's introduction, Si Yushi looked unfamiliar.
But his face was also full of longing, "Then next time, can I exchange some seasonings with you?"
These seasonings can dilute the fishy smell of meat, but can they also cover up other smells?
For example, if food has been stored for a long time and has an unpleasant smell, can you sprinkle these fragrant seasonings on it and it will still be edible?
Chen Jinyue didn't know what she was thinking. He thought she just wanted to share the delicious food with her people.
"Okay, I'll buy some for you next time."
"Thank you, Goddess!"
“…”
Chen Jinyue felt that the image of the god was already deeply ingrained in the other person's mind, and there was no point in her correcting it, so she simply didn't waste any more words.
The takeaway was quite large, but she only ate about one-fifth of it.
Si Yugang was clumsy in using chopsticks.
But he soon found the trick and ate up the rest like a whirlwind.
The pot of soup was not spared.
Putting down her chopsticks, she met Chen Jinyue's slightly surprised eyes. A trace of embarrassment flashed across her dark face. "I'm sorry, I couldn't help it. Are you full?"
Chen Jinyue nodded, "I'm full, are you full?"
Si Yu nodded quickly, "I'm full too."
Although she could eat more, the goddess gave most of the food to her, so she couldn't be too greedy...
Chen Jinyue didn't doubt it when he heard this. He stood up and continued to introduce the tools to her.
There is also a curved plow.
"Pulling the plowshare causes the plowshare to penetrate the soil. Then, by pushing or pulling the plowshare, the plowshare will move through the soil, achieving the purpose of tilling the land..."
In fact, Chen Jinyue had never practiced this in practice. She learned all this theoretical knowledge from the employees of the agricultural tool factory.
I also looked through some usage videos and took a look at them.
But again, insiders don't need too much lengthy theory.
Si Yu was a little confused when she first saw the shape, but after hearing Chen Jinyue's introduction, her eyes suddenly filled with excitement. "If we have this, wouldn't turning the soil be faster?! We can plant our seeds quickly!"
Chen Jinyue nodded, "Yes, if we use two oxen to pull it, the efficiency will be higher."
Si Yu: "...Using oxen to pull it?"
Chen Jinyue, "Yes, you have cattle, right?"
Si Yu blinked, "Yes, yes..."
But their cattle are mainly a source of meat, or used as sacrifices, or for transportation.
I never thought that I could work in the fields.
She thought he was being pulled away by someone.
"But very few?" Chen Jinyue realized after seeing her reaction that all the farm tools of their tribe had been taken away. A cow could be considered one of the farm tools, right?
“Indeed, it’s rare.”
Si Yu nodded, "But it doesn't matter, I can go to other tribes to exchange!"
She now has so many things given by the goddess, which are much more useful than those in other tribes. She should be able to exchange them for something.
It won’t be as embarrassing as it was some time ago.
Chen Jinyue was also thinking about this problem. She had never traded living things with anyone, so it would be best if she could exchange them.
"Don't show off your wealth. There are not many people in your tribe now, so be careful of being targeted by others." Chen Jinyue couldn't help but remind him.
"Okay! I know!"
In addition to the things she originally wanted, the goddess also gave her so many other things, Si Yu was very happy.
I secretly planned to dig two more baskets of a bigger and better life for the goddess next time.
Then Chen Jinyue spoke, "Next time we exchange, I don't want ginseng for now. Give me something else, but if you have that piece of wood, I'll continue collecting it."
Si Yu was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked, "What else do you want? I'll find it for you!"
Chen Jinyue took out his cell phone and showed her a picture.
It's what those old Chinese doctors wish for—
"I have seen these, but not many. Except for Ganoderma lucidum which is used by witch doctors to treat diseases, the others are useless." Si Yu spoke honestly.
Chen Jinyue nodded. "Then we'll take whatever we have. Just like with ginseng, we need to be careful and pay attention to the integrity."
Si Yu replied, "Okay!"
…
At the entrance of the cave, the original group of people who moved the goods were still waiting.
Seeing that Si Yu had been in there for a long time, he felt a little worried.
She was worried that they didn't bring enough things to exchange, and she was also worried that they asked for too much and the goddess would think they were greedy.
In short, the worry of being cheated is gone.
As Si Yu walked out, a group of people quickly surrounded him, "Chief! How is the Chief?"
Si Yu couldn't suppress the smile on her face, "The goddess not only gave us the farm tools we asked for, but also gave us new things!"
Everyone, "!!!"
The things were moved back to the tribe overnight.
By the campfire, Si Yu introduced the things he brought back to the tribesmen one by one.
Their reactions were even greater than Si Yu's, their eyes filled with amazement and disbelief.
"Oh my god! This is so useful!"
"With these bags, the harvested grain can be well preserved!"
"This curved plow is so ingenious, and the plowshare is so sharp, how fast will it sow the seeds?"
“…”
A group of people gathered around the bonfire, cheering and excited.
But outside the bonfire, a small group of people were standing guard silently, holding a stick and looking around vigilantly.
Of course, they could hear the cheers from inside, but they restrained their gaze from looking over there. Chief Ji Shuo had said, remember not to talk too much.
The Qiuyu tribe kept their promise and treated them like their own tribe members.
Let them work together in the fields and give them equal food.
But this does not mean that they have truly become members of the tribe.
Men still need to recognize their place.
Just then, footsteps were heard nearby, and a figure walked up to them. It was a tall and thin woman.
She looked down at them. "What are you all hiding here for? The chief wants you to go over and identify the new farm tools."
A young man asked in surprise, "Can we watch it too?"
The woman turned her eyes to glance at him and hummed.
She was also opposed to accepting this tribe at first, but the chief said that the goddess had spoken.
Then she would naturally obey.
But after getting along with this tribe for the past few days, I don’t find it so annoying.
They were all very hardworking. Even though they knew that their farm tools were strange, they did not ask or discuss anything.
The chief was right. Their tribe needed to become stronger and accept more people to fight against the ostracism and oppression of the Burning Sun Tribe...
Ji Shuo stood up first and strode towards the campfire.
Seeing this, the others couldn't wait to run over.
When they saw those strange tools and learned how to use them, they were all filled with surprise.
"We don't have enough cattle in our tribe." Ji Shuo was shocked and immediately raised the question.
Si Yu glanced at him and nodded, "It's indeed not enough. Someone needs to go to other tribes to exchange a few."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
