Chapter 380: Sleeves of Fire
After the vendor was rescued, the manager immediately had his men capture the Explosive Monkeys and throw them out of the Bifang Market. He
also declared that the Explosive Monkeys were not allowed to enter the Bifang Market, otherwise they would be treated rudely.
After doing all this, he turned to look at Liu Jianan and smiled friendly: "Little brother, you are quite skilled. Thank you for your contribution to the stability of the Bifang Market."
The rescued vendor also thanked him repeatedly.
Liu Jianan acted very modestly: "If it were anyone else, they would have taken action without hesitation in such a situation. Moreover, I am new here, so I naturally have to do more good things and make more friends."
The steward looked at Liu Jianan curiously, but he didn't notice it before, but now he found that Liu Jianan's outfit was different from theirs.
"I think you look a little unfamiliar. You said it was your first time here, so where are you from?" the steward asked.
Liu Jianan made up a story: "In the jungle area, east of Tianyuan, there is a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. That is my hometown, the Huaxia tribe."
The steward was puzzled. Huaxia tribe?
Why had he never heard of it?
He replied naturally and with high emotional intelligence: "So you are a friend of the Huaxia tribe. A guest is a guest. You should stay a few more days."
The Bifang Market is open for a few days every month. Many vendors who cannot sell all their goods will choose to rest on the spot for a night and sell again the next day.
In addition, some tribes that are far away from here will rush here after two or three days. Whether it is customer flow or goods, there will be a significant increase.
Liu Jianan's goal is to follow the manager to the Fire Cloud Zone, so he has to come up with something that can surprise the other party.
The most abundant thing in the Savage Continent is rare treasures, and most of the things sold in the market are rare things that hunters get when hunting exotic beasts.
So Liu Jianan simply found another way: "To be honest, I'm working in the name of the tribe leader to find a market for the treasures of the Huaxia tribe."
The steward became interested: "Oh, what treasures are they? Can you lend them to me for a look?"
Liu Jianan nodded slightly: "No problem." As
he spoke, he took out a lighter from the purple gold gourd: "This thing is called Sky Fire in the Sleeve. No matter who it is, just press it like this to summon the sky fire and ignite the grass and trees."
He lit the lighter and shook it in front of the steward.
Then he put the extinguished lighter into his pocket and continued to preach: "You can also carry it with you to drive away snakes, insects and wild animals. It is a must-have item in the wild."
The steward had such a sharp eye that he could see the extraordinary features of the lighter, oh no, it should be called the sleeve fire.
You must know that in the wild continent, if you don't have the ability to control fire, it is a very troublesome thing to light
a fire. Those tribes that do not have the ability to control fire will leave a fire altar in the tribe to place a perpetual fire.
The function of the perpetual fire is to ensure that the flame burns from morning to night, so that once the tribe needs fire, they can go to the fire altar to get fire at any time.
But the fire altar also has disadvantages.
First of all, once the open-air fire altar encounters rainy days, especially continuous rain, the fire in the fire altar is likely to go out.
In addition, there was no dry wood to be found, and it was impossible to make fire
by drilling wood, which would result in no fire for several days. Even if a canopy was built for the fire altar, and even dry wood and straw were collected to add to the fire, there was no guarantee that the humid environment would not extinguish the fire. Moreover,
this kind of fire altar needed someone to watch it all the time. Once the fire was too strong, there was also the danger of causing a fire.
However, the sleeve fire that Liu Jianan showed him could perfectly solve this series of problems, and even solve the problem of difficulty in finding fire in the wild.
It was simply a magic weapon!
"Brother, can you lend me the sleeve fire?" Although the steward tried his best to hide it, he still couldn't contain his excitement.
Liu Jianan readily handed the lighter to the other party.
The manager took the lighter and immediately ordered his men to find some flammable materials.
He wanted to try whether the fire in his sleeves was as powerful as he imagined.
Liu Jianan pulled a wooden chair from the side and sat down, watching the other party's experiment leisurely.
Needless to say, the effect of the lighter is very good, and the key is that he has at least thousands of them in stock.
He originally wanted to take out something else to show, but when he saw the manager's uncontrollable smile, he knew that there was no need to do so.
Just as Liu Jianan expected, the manager was very satisfied with the fire in his sleeves.
He asked curiously: "Little brother, I don't know your name yet? My surname is Yang, my name is Yang Yan, you can just call me Brother Yang."
Is this getting close?
Liu Jianan said with a smile: "My name is Gu Letian, you can just call me Xiao Gu."
Yang Yan put his hand on Liu Jianan's shoulder: "Xiao Gu, do you want to sell this sleeve of heavenly fire?"
"Sell." Liu Jianan changed the subject, "But the purpose of my visit this time is to find a long-term cooperative merchant. If you have any connections in this regard, I hope you can give me some advice."
The manager laughed and said, "Brother Gu, you have asked the right person. I, Yang Yan, have been in charge of the trade between the Fire Cloud Zone and the Jungle Zone for decades. Tell me how much you have in this batch, and I will help you find a suitable partner."
Liu Jianan said in embarrassment, "It is not easy to make the Sleeve Sky Fire, and I only brought a hundred of them."
Yang Yan nodded. A hundred was not a lot. The key was, "How many times can you use this Sleeve Sky Fire?"
Liu Jianan said, "I haven't counted it, but it must be a thousand times."
A thousand times!
Yang Yan was secretly shocked. He didn't expect that this small Sleeve Sky Fire could be used a thousand times!
What kind of craftsmanship is this?
He must find a way to connect the Huaxia tribe mentioned by this kid with the trade between the Bifang tribe, which will bring huge benefits to both parties!
"Xiao Gu, I'll tell you the truth, the tribe behind me will definitely be very satisfied with the value of the Sleeve Fire," Yang Yan whispered to Liu Jianan, "How about you sell all the Sleeve Fire to me, and I'll give it to our tribe leader, and let him consider establishing trade with the Huaxia tribe?"
The fish was hooked.
Liu Jianan's eyes flashed with a smile, but his face was hesitant: "I still can't sell the Sleeve Fire to you like this."
"Why?" Yang Yan didn't understand. "You haven't even heard my offer yet. I need to do an experiment. If your Sleeve Fire can really be used a thousand times as you said, then I will exchange one of your Sleeve Fire for ten Fire Feathers. How about that?"
Liu Jianan said in embarrassment, "Brother Yang, it's not that I don't want to sell it. It's just that before the trip, the tribe leader told me that I must find a tribe willing to cooperate in the long term before I can sell it. I can't help it!" Yang Yan saw
that Liu Jianan was determined, and didn't want to miss such a good thing as the Sleeve Fire, so he asked directly, "Then tell me, what do you want?"
"Brother Yang, can you let me meet the tribe leader of your tribe? I want to discuss this business with him in person." Liu Jianan begged.
It turned out that he didn't trust him.
Yang Yan was secretly unhappy, but he was reluctant to give up when he thought about the profits that this business could bring to the tribe.
After all, they were the people that Yang Yan had found, and although some of the credit was reduced, it was still there.
If he still insisted on taking the credit and did not agree to the boy's request, it would be a big loss if the cooked duck flew away!
Thinking of this, Yang Yan threw a sleeve of sky fire to his men, and then said to Liu Jianan: "Brother Xiao Gu, let me test the durability of the sleeve of sky fire. If the number of uses can reach the thousand times you said, I will take you back to the Bifang tribe and let you talk to our chief."
